age is not a problem

The small hidden door at the back of the art gallery.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, approaching with a sound...

"Uh..." The fake Akashi, who was walking quickly towards the door that had already been opened from the inside, stopped abruptly, and looked straight at the person waiting for him at the door ahead.

Gang Ji, who had been waiting here for a long time, leaned against the door frame with his arms folded. Although the expression on his face did not show any anger, the aura that was not angry but mighty had been clearly displayed. The surrounding temperature seemed to be Both have declined.

The big sky, which has always been warm, tolerant and exaggerated, rarely presents the gloom of prey before the storm.

"This is different from what we agreed on earlier, Kurihara."

Gangji stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the person in front of him.

The man was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and then pulled off the disguise of disguise on his face, Ogisuke Kurihara looked at his boss with a half-smile:

"It's been a long time since I saw your expression like this... It seems to be the first time for such a serious and even murderous atmosphere between you and me in these years."

The calm and hilarious appearance that had been maintained before was finally broken, knowing in his heart that the other party already knew what his true position was, so Kurihara stopped beating around the bush.

Gangji frowned slightly, and his tone became a little more serious:

"Like I said, our goal tonight is indeed to take this gem from Kaito Kidd, but to return it to the Akashi family. As for the Malthus family, I will find another negotiation that satisfies them Chips, let them give up on the pursuit of this gem..."

"...That's why I can't agree with you, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Ogisuke Kurihara suddenly interrupted Tsunayoshi, with a somewhat suppressed voice, "I don't bother to care about the reasons why those elders opposed you. I'm on their side only because I'm on the same side as them against you... What I can't admit is your naivety, having been so deeply involved in the world of the mafia, how can you still So naive. Although the actions of those elders are indeed very unpleasant, at least they are for the sake of the family, and you...you regard the companions around you as more important than the fate and future of the family. If one day you were asked to choose between your companions and your family, you would choose the former without hesitation, right?"

Neither refuted the other party nor started a dispute with the other party, Tsuna just continued to ask:

"What's going on with Kaito Kidd tonight? What kind of agreement did you reach with him beforehand without me knowing?"

"Heh, I really can't hide it from you." Kurihara shook his head, but it's been this far, and there is nothing to hide, so he directly confessed: "A few days ago, I was recruited as a temporary worker to familiarize myself with the environment in the art museum. I happened to find the Kaitou Kidd who came to step on the spot. I made a deal with him, I can not expose his identity, and tonight I will help him create chaos for the people who guard the gems, but in the end this The gem belongs to me, but the outside world will think that he stole the gem. Anyway, he is a well-known jewelry thief in Japan. Kidd stole it, so this case will naturally become an unsolved case, and the Japanese police will not continue to track down the whereabouts of the gems, and naturally they will not investigate from our side, so we don't have to deal with these troubles later .”

"So, did you take advantage of Kaitou Kidd again... let him bear this crime, and implicate him who shouldn't bear this crime..." No matter in his eyes or tone, Tsunayoshi was full of dissatisfaction. recognized.

But Tsunayoshi's expression at the moment seemed to have completely angered Kurihara, even disregarding that they were still within the scope of the Suzuki Museum of Art at the moment, he almost growled and said:

"That's why I can't agree with you, Sawada Tsunayoshi! Can you deny that everything I have done is the most sensible, whether it is the purpose or the follow-up matters, based on the interests of the family?! Obviously As long as you give this gem to the Malthus family, the cooperation and negotiation can continue, but you have to use other more troublesome methods just to help that red-haired kid guard this gem... Heh, after so long, the ordinary Did the middle school life make you too comfortable, did you forget that you and these little devils around you are not from the same world at all..."

"But they are my friends, this will not change, no matter which world I belong to." The firm and irrefutable tone interrupted the other party's words, but then calmed down again, "Kurihara, I have to admit, Everything you have done is reasonable... But since our ultimate goal is to reach a cooperation with the Malthus family, on the premise of achieving the goal, if there is a way to avoid harm to others, why not use it? So what if you put in a little effort and a little more energy?"

Kurihara, whose ideas were completely opposite, didn't know what to reply, he just sneered and sighed, then turned his head away and stopped looking at the other party.

It's just that behind the wall, there is a person hidden in the darkness that neither of them noticed, and he has heard all the conversation between the two just now.

On the bridge of Qingmei's nose is this pair of seemingly ordinary special glasses, and the left lens of the glasses shows the tracking system.

Just now, after installing a bug on that fake Akashi and pretending to be defeated by the opponent, she quietly followed him quite cautiously.

After seeing that person take off the disguise on his face, what appeared was the face of the handsome owner of the bamboo sushi main restaurant in Tokyo... Heh, it's not surprising at all, people from the Pengo Li family would Taking action tonight was the information she had obtained from Nicole long ago.It was also expected that the Pengele family would act secretly in a covert manner. After all, there are Japanese government organizations here, and the Suzuki consortium is not easy to mess with, and they will not do too much.However, it was a little surprising that among them there were also people who were proficient in disguise and voice-changing skills, and their level was no less than that of Kaitou Kidd.

And after seeing that the person supporting Ogisuke Kurihara is Tsunayoshi Sawada... Well, there is no need to be surprised, after all, it has been guessed that Tsunayoshi Sawada would be related to the Vongola family.Only now, it can be fully confirmed.And being fully confirmed means that she has to face up to the relationship with him, and the reason and emotion are completely separated, completely.

But the only thing that surprised her was that after listening to the conversation between the two people just now, she felt that Tsunayoshi Sawada's status in the Pengo Li family was not low... Moreover, if she understood correctly, there was a lot of people in the Peng Li family. Now there is internal strife, and the members are mainly divided into two factions.

Just when she was thinking about what to do next, she heard him say... The real purpose of his coming here tonight is to help Akashi guard this gem...

She was stunned for a moment...

What do you think, should we go catch Phantom Thief Kid first, or find the real gem first?

It sounds like you already know who Kidd is pretending to be.

I believe that in terms of brainstorming in this area, I still have to worship and look up to you, Conan, so...you should have seen through Kidd's disguise.

Heh, I'm more interested in seeing through Kidd's disguise than... Asakawa, are you really here tonight to get this gem like you said before, like Kidd? Although I don't know what your purpose is.

if not?Tsk, tsk, haven't I already told you bluntly, maybe I, like Kidd, are the ones you want to stop tonight, little brother Conan...

Stop lying... You came here tonight to help Akashi Seijuro guard this gem, from the hands of Kaito Kidd, and from the hands of another group of people who are coveting this gem, for your friend Guard this gem that means a lot to him.

Hey, hey, Boss Conan, where did you come to trust me so much? How could I possibly do such a thing that sounds so high...

I don't know if Margo will do this, but I know... Asakawa Qingmei will definitely do it.

Really, so many times she really doesn't like to get along with detectives. They are too easy to read people's hearts, which really makes people feel tired.

His eyes rolled around, and he looked back at Tsunayoshi Sawada at the door frame... Heh, speaking of it, her and his goals tonight are actually the same...

"Kurihara, just put the gems here, they will definitely search for them in a while." Seemingly waiting for each other to calm down, Tsunayoshi said slowly, "Also, I heard that Kaitou Kidd's several actions this year, It’s because even though the gems were stolen, they were returned in the end, so let’s not let others take the blame for us.”

Although he didn't approve of the other party, the person in front of him was the supreme leader of the Vongola family after all, and he held the Daozora Ring, which symbolized the supreme power of the family. After all, Kurihara still had to obey the other party's orders.

After placing the gem in a conspicuous position here, Kurihara was clearly in a bad mood.

"Kurihara... Regarding what you just said about the choice between family and companions, I think so...Although you may not necessarily agree with me, I still want to tell you..."

"If the family represents the so-called 'collective', isn't the 'collective' just composed of individual 'individuals'? Don't sacrifice everything for the empty concept of 'collective'."

"I don't mean to subvert the rules of survival in the mafia world. Everyone in the family lives in the world of the mafia, and the world of the mafia lives in this society. After thousands of years of precipitation, the society has An invisible power net has already been formed, and we are all just people in the net. No one is so great, so what we have to do is not to oppose this net, but to improve it."

"Today, the two of us can talk about it... Kurihara, although we are in different positions, as far as you are concerned, I appreciate and am willing to be your partner, from the beginning to the end Always."

After that clear voice fell, Kurihara's body trembled for a moment.

And also trembling, there is Qingmei hidden in the darkness behind the wall.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help evoking a slight smile, that smile was a bit bitter and a bit relieved.

Hey, Sawada, although we are in different positions, but as far as you are alone... I think, I really like it.

"What noise!" Tsuna suddenly opened his mouth vigilantly, and his eyes began to look around.

Qingmei, who was hiding, also entered a state of high alert for a moment... Did she reveal her presence? !

"Stop! Phantom Thief Kid!"

Although the soundproofing effect of this building is very good, there was still this faint sound coming from the upper floor, and Tsuna Kichi subconsciously raised his head to look at the ceiling.

Kurihara: "It seems that they have already started hunting Kidd...It sounds like that Mr. Phantom Thief is being chased and intercepted. However, with his ability, it should not be very difficult to escape."

Knowing that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Gang Ji also hurriedly said: "Okay, let's leave quickly."

……

After confirming that the two had left, Qingmei finally stood up slowly from her hiding place, and then picked up the gemstone that was placed here.

After weighing the tears of the red eyes twice in her hand, Qingmei also turned and went upstairs, ready to see what state that Mr. Phantom Thief is now.

When I followed the footsteps and found the group of people who were chasing each other...

Um?Why is Huang Ye running wildly in this direction?It looked like he was being chased.

In the rear, Aomine, who was in charge of Teiguang's speed, shouted:

"Asakawa! Grab that guy! Just now Kidd threw a smoke bomb and disguised himself as Kise again! But the guy with glasses saw it through!"

That's it... and the current position is...

Qingmei curled her lips into a wicked smile, and then shouted at the top of her voice, "Ziyuan... Huangse, I stole your delicious food!"

In the corner, in the darkness, where no one noticed, including Kidd who was running away, Murasakihara, who was stunned by Kurihara's hypnotic gas before and has been sleeping here, suddenly woke up like a ghost Kise rushed towards Kise, who was rushing forward in front of him:

"Huang Zi—!"
