The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 239
Qin Zhibo's evaluation left Kuroba Kaito a little confused, because it was the first time someone praised him as a good and great man as a phantom thief.
Although my desire to return the treasure to the descendants of the owner was just out of a sudden interest, and I did not think that I was the embodiment of justice, but
"Thank you for the compliment."
Kuroba Kaito scratched his head modestly, with a sheepish smile on his face.
Qin Zhibo: "."
Kuroba Kaito's attitude left Qin Zhibo speechless.
Co-author, you think I’m complimenting you, don’t you?
"Actually, I want to return the treasure, and I also think that the legendary craftsman Mr. Kiichi is called the 'magician of the end of the century,' so I, as the 'magician of the end of the century,' want to pay some tribute to this magician."
"Mr. Kiichi's life is at the end of the 19th century, and mine is at the end of the 20th century."
Kuroba Kaito was still explaining his reasons for stealing the Egg of Memory, leaving Qin Zhibo even more speechless.
It seems that he was not aware of the truth during this trip to the castle at all.
Forget it, let him stay in the dark.
Some things in this world are best left to remain a mystery forever.
At least the fewer people who know, the better.
"By the way, how do you plan to return the Egg of Memory?" Qin Zhibo asked.
Kuroba Kaito thought for a moment, "If possible, I would like to personally return it to Miss Natsumi as Kaitou Kid."
Before he finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito looked at Qin Zhibo, the embodiment of justice, as if reacting to stress, and asked weakly: "Is it okay?"
"What do you think?"
Qin Zhibo said seriously: "Since the memory eggs come in a set of two, but only one of them has been lost, this means that the person who made him sold the memory eggs himself."
"The Suzuki family obtained this egg through purchase and aboveboard, and cannot just take it just because of your ideas."
"It's like I paid for furniture from a furniture store. There is no reason for me to return the furniture to the craftsmen who made it without paying the price."
"Even if the Suzuki family is very rich, it won't be enough if they don't lack this 800 million."
"And if nothing else, it will be difficult for you to find Natsumi again."
During the previous eavesdropping, Natsumi changed her clothes, and the clothes stained with the eavesdropping device lost their eavesdropping effect because they were washed.
But even without using eavesdropping, Qin Zhibo knew that Xia Mei would not appear again.
At least he won't appear again as Natsumi Kasaka.
Kuroba Kaito was taught by Qin Zhibo until he was speechless. He could only show the expression "You are the boss, you have the final say" and said that he would return it to the police later.
As for why it was returned to the police rather than to the Suzuki family, it was because of the experience accumulated by the Kaitou over the years.
Return the stolen treasure directly to the owner's family. The owner may cover up the fact that the treasure is returned, or falsely claim that the returned treasure is a fake, and then defraud the insurance, and continue to blame Kaitou Kidd.
Therefore, returning the treasure to a policeman whom he trusts and reminding the police for appraisal has become the fixed procedure for Kaitou Kidd to return the treasure.
It just so happened that the policeman he trusted lived next door to his house, so returning the treasure was a matter of time.
Since it’s an Emperor’s Easter egg, let’s return it on Easter.
After dealing with the egg of memories, Qin Zhibo was about to get down to business.
"By the way, do you know why someone wanted to snipe you in Osaka Bay this time?"
Qin Zhibo's topic changed again, catching Kuroba Kaito off guard.
"What?"
"I mean if someone wants to kill you, who will you think of?" Qin Zhibo further reminded, "Maybe it's not a person, but an organization or something."
Kuroba Kaito raised his head slightly and began to think.
"There are quite a few people who would be detrimental to Kaitou Kidd. After all, he is a world-famous thief and has offended many people. How could I know?"
Kuroba Kaito's words came to an abrupt end because his brain, which was running at high speed, suddenly thought of a group of people he met shortly after inheriting his father's legacy.
The origin of the group was unknown. They were wearing dark brown windbreakers and hats of the same color. Their overall attire had an old school feel.
After a certain theft, the leader of these people actually captured the location where he escaped, called himself from a nearby public phone, and warned himself not to do anything to the gems again.
Of course, he did not heed the warnings of these people. After all, he once again committed theft as Kaitou Kidd in order to find out the person who killed his own father eight years ago.
As a result, during a subsequent operation to steal India's largest sapphire "Blue Birthday", these people actually chased them to the top of a tall building, and the leader of the group did not hesitate to shoot himself.
It's just that these people were unlucky. The bullets hit the gems, and what they took away were fake gems that they had forged in advance.
After that, I followed these people to their stronghold in a Japanese courtyard and learned some of their secrets.
"It seems that there is indeed a group of people who want to take Kaitou Kid's life, and have even taken Kaitou Kid's life."
Kuroba Kaito seemed to be telling the truth, which made Terai Kinosuke, who was silently observing from the side, a little moved.
It was only after the "Blue Birthday" operation that Terai Huangnosuke heard about the existence of such a group of people from Kuroba Kaito.
Judging from what the little boss said at the time, the magic show accident that led to the death of Kuroba Toichi eight years ago was exactly what they did.
In fact, in the past eight years, not only himself, but also Kuroba Toichi's widow, Mrs. Qiankage, has also been secretly investigating the cause of Kuroba Toichi's death.
During regular contact a while ago, Mrs. Qianying said that she had contacted a very powerful organization in the United States.
This organization promised to help investigate the person who killed Kuroba Toichi, and has already made some breakthroughs.
But what is the specific situation, Kuroba Chikage said that the time is not yet ripe, and he cannot tell himself and Kaito for the time being.
Now, does the young master want to tell an outsider the circumstances of his murder?
Terai Kinosuke could only observe silently, write down all the details, and report to Mrs. Chikage after contacting her later.
Qin Zhibo continued to ask questions.
"What other characteristics do these people you mentioned have, such as their names?"
Kuroba Kaito thought for a moment and replied: "They don't use names when talking to each other, they use code names."
"I knew the codename of the bearded man leading the group was 'Snake'."
Snake!
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, remembering that when he was eavesdropping on the conversation between Xia Mei and Qinglan, there was a man named "Snake" driving the car next to him.
Considering that no one except Zhang Dapao would ever take such a disgusting name.
Qin Zhibo has every reason to believe that these two people are the same person.
Thanks for waving his hand for the 400 tip!
