Chapter 935 Xingchuan Hui: You should accumulate some virtue
"The banquet is held here. Well, because of Kidd, Kitagawa-kun suggested that we prepare backup power and strengthen monitoring equipment. I think it is a good idea." Suzuki Sonoko pointed to the banquet hall not far away that was busy being decorated. , and then pointed to the exhibition room on the other side, which is now closed, "This is the place where the Egg of Memory will be displayed later."
"Isn't the Egg of Memory in the hands of the police now?" Xingchuan Hui, who was observing the venue with his chin in his hand and pretending to be working, blinked, "Are you planning to wait until the physical object is returned?"
Because the police judged the time of committing the crime in Kidd's notice letter, they planned to take the Egg of Memory to protect it until the end of the notice, which was after 1:30 in the morning.
According to the common opening ceremony process, the time can be postponed until midnight at most, and the true appearance of the treasure can be displayed until 12 o'clock. However, if it is delayed any further, the authentic product will miss the opportunity of the official opening.
"It was originally planned..." Suzuki Sonoko curled her lips, "However, the policeman named Zhongmori insisted that Kidd would definitely take action at 3 o'clock in the morning, so the police were already stepping up efforts to get the imitations in place."< br>
The Egg of Memories is indeed an exquisite handicraft, but with the power of modern industry, a treasure made of metal and designed with mechanisms is not so difficult to copy.
As long as you don't let the guests observe too closely, or don't let the audience who know too much about the real thing stand in the front row, it is still very simple to hold the banquet without being awkward.
"Speaking of which, you are really willing to hand over authentic products to the police." Mouri Kogoro looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so he withdrew his gaze with a subtle expression, "That's 800 million after all... If the police are too persistent If Kidd is captured and the treasure is damaged..."
This is no longer a hypothesis. Considering that Officer Nakamori is in a state of being beaten to death, as long as he has a chance to catch Kaitou Kidd, he definitely doesn’t care about the egg of memories or not...
It's not that he won't protect the safety of citizens' property, but if he needs to make a choice between the safety of the treasure and the capture of Kidd, he will 100% give priority to capturing Kidd, and he won't care so much about whether this national treasure of another country will be stolen. damaged.
"If it's damaged, just damage it. It's not such a fragile cultural relic." Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand nonchalantly, "When I used it as a toy when I was a child, I knocked it several times, and it didn't even leave any scratches. It's worthy of its reputation. Made by the royal family, the quality is really good”
The corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched.
This sounds bigger than saying that the memory egg is not easily damaged or that the Suzuki family doesn't care about it that much...
"Theoretically, as the detective who was invited, I should also fulfill my responsibility in protecting the treasures. However, the Nakamori police officer firmly disagreed with their search for people outside the second section to participate in the plan, thinking that it would cause leaks..." Xingchuan Hui sighed softly, "You are so stubborn."
Although no matter what, his plan is destined to be discovered by Kuroba Kaito in the end, Nakamori Ginzo's idea is still correct.
Even with such strict protection, it can only prevent outsiders from snooping, but not insiders.
Who would have thought that before the Egg of Memories was taken away from the Suzuki Museum of Art, insiders had placed such a powerful monitor on it?
Outside the exhibition hall, Kuroba Kaito himself was pretending to come from the JR station. As soon as he got off the car, his attention was attracted by a woman not far away.
A gentle and beautiful woman was stopped outside the exhibition hall by several policemen. She was pointing at the newspaper in her hand and saying something urgently.
"I have something very important to tell President Suzuki about this collection. Please be accommodating... Or you can inform him now and tell him that I have important news about the Egg of Memory..."
The police officer who was pulled by her looked at the photo in the newspaper in embarrassment: "You also saw the content of the title. Phantom Thief Kidd is now eyeing this egg. Before the danger is resolved, except for those who have been inspected and invited, , we can’t just let people into the museum.”
"But, but..." Natsumi Kasaka grabbed the edge of the bag eagerly.
There were some words that she was embarrassed to say directly, but her expression of tears had completely conveyed her thoughts.
She was worried about Kidd's undefeated record, fearing that if she couldn't see the Egg of Memory today, it would disappear again.
Kuroba Kaito lowered his eyes, straightened his haori, and walked over slowly: "What's wrong? Madam? Are you in any trouble?"
The policeman frowned and looked at the young man in a gorgeous kimono subtly. Just as he was about to say something to drive him away, Nishino Masato, who hurried out of the venue, quickly waved his hand to greet Kuroba Kaito who was walking over.
"Mr. Kitagawa, this way! Sorry, I'm busy with the opening today, so I don't have time to go directly to the platform to pick you up..."
"It doesn't matter, I've been here before." Kuroba Kaito shook his head calmly, not letting him finish the more apologetic words that followed, "I can't be completely regarded as a guest, so I don't have to be so polite."
This is a great truth.
During the construction of the exhibition hall, Suzuki Sonoko once consulted Kitagawa Yusuke, who seemed to have experience in organizing exhibitions. Of course, Karasawa, who was busy solving other problems at the time, had no time to come.
In line with the principle of visiting a few points in case they are useful, just like the previous art exhibition, Kuroba Kaito naturally came once as Kitagawa Yusuke, and gave more construction suggestions after the on-site inspection. Not only does he know the layout of the entire exhibition hall well, he even designed part of the anti-theft circuits himself.
Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo's "stupid method" may seem outrageous and exaggerated, but it actually makes sense.
Because putting it in the Suzuki Museum of Art is no different from putting it directly in Kidd's pocket.
The police who were originally hesitant to come over for inspection stopped when they heard what he said and Masato Nishino, the secretary of President Suzuki, did not refute.
How should I put it? In theory, in order to prevent Kidd from sneaking in, they should carefully check the face of each person entering the venue, but since the authentic products have been taken away long ago, the focus of the police's defense was mentioned in the trailer. Castle Tower, if Kidd himself really came to the museum, that would be a good thing...
With this thought in mind, the policeman took a step back knowingly and did not disturb Kitagawa Yusuke and Secretary Nishino who were chatting.
At the same time, Kasaka Natsumi, who was blocked outside by him, was finally let go.
However, she did not rush towards the venue, but looked at Yusuke Kitagawa thoughtfully, then looked at Masato Nishino for a while, and asked hesitantly: "Are you employees of the Suzuki Group?"
"Well, I am the assistant secretary of President Shiro Suzuki." Masato Nishino pushed up his glasses and turned his head politely, "Madam, what do you want?" "You know Mr. Shiro Suzuki, right? !" Kasaka Natsumi's eyes widened suddenly, "Then, could you please help me contact the president? That's it..."
She reached back, took a heavy document from the old man behind her, pulled out a page, and turned it over towards them.
It was a copy of a document. Judging from the mottled texture and slightly blurred handwriting, it was not difficult to tell the age of the original.
In the middle of this document, a complex handicraft is drawn with uniform and meticulous lines, surrounded by many detailed textured enlarged design drawings, with many words and neat patterns marked on it.
There is no need to study the content of the text in detail. It is not difficult to see that this is very likely to be a design drawing. At the very least, the person who drew this thing must have seen the actual egg of memories.
"My ancestors have some connection with this egg. I want to see it with my own eyes and confirm some things..." Natsumi Kasaka clenched her fingers eagerly, "Can you please take me in?"
"Uh, this..." Mr. Nishino stared at the document blankly, frowning in embarrassment.
Normally, Shiro Suzuki, who has a kind-hearted personality, would not only be happy to let her take a look, but he might also be eager to ask her about the story and ask her to explain how her ancestors were related to this legendary treasure. , but now is a sensitive period. Even if he doesn’t think so, the president still needs to consider the attitude of the police...
"It's impossible to see the egg, but I can take you in." Kuroba Kaito glanced at the troubled Nishino Masato and said bluntly.
"Hey, but Mr. Kitagawa..."
"What's wrong? Isn't the exhibition just for people to see?" Kuroba Kaito asked confidently in a completely matter-of-fact tone, "But if the police don't want to show it to people because they are worried about Kaitou Kidd, then that's okay It doesn’t matter.”
"Well, it still has to show up at night..." Nishino Masato pursed his lips, glanced at Kasaka Natsumi, and then looked at the police not far away. After all, it was not easy to explain the real thing frankly in front of others. Having been taken away by the police, he had no choice but to lower his head, "Since Mr. Kitagawa said so, please come with me."
"The security design is quite good." Tang Ze observed the surrounding situation for a while, then went over to study the fire explanatory diagram carefully, and praised, "The anti-theft circuits cover each other, and the monitoring design is also reasonable. If the opponent is not Kaitou Kidd , it is indeed difficult to steal.”
What's more, this high-quality anti-theft design was designed by Kaitou Kidd himself.
However, Kuroba Kaito has not lost the reputation of Kitagawa Yusuke at all. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. Designed by Kaitou Kidd who is experienced in theft, the anti-theft effect here is really excellent.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze touched his chin and had an idea: "Hey, why don't you suggest that guy Kuroba just apply for an exhibition hall designer? Exhibition decoration is also a science, and he may earn more than a magician. A little. More importantly, it is also good for him. At least when he suddenly thinks of stealing something, he can find everything by himself, and he can save himself. ”
After all, magicians are performers, and they are considered to be part of a service-oriented industry. They have to design their own show effects, stage and props, which also consumes a lot of energy. And when it comes to exhibition hall design, they are very professional and relevant, and there is no shortage of them. Good direction for work.
Xingchuan Hui instinctively wanted to hold his forehead, but he held back after feeling the leather gloves sticking to his skin.
He is Goro Akechi now. No matter what, he still needs to be careful about his image.
"You'd better not let Kuroba Kaito hear this." Instead, Hoshikawa Teru had to lower his voice and squeeze out a sentence through his teeth.
"What, are you worried that he won't accept my sincere suggestion?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows.
"No, I'm worried that he accepts it too much." Xingchuan Hui silently looked at his provocative expression with a bit of pride.
Although he didn't say much, his face clearly conveyed a sentence - you should accumulate some virtue, just think it's for Kaitou Kidd.
What's the difference between letting a phantom thief be an exhibition designer and sending an undercover agent into the organization?
"I think..."
Before Tang Ze finished the gag, he was interrupted by a call from behind.
"Karasawa, you are here." Mouri Kogoro came over with a glass of champagne in his hand and looked at the two people left and right, "What are you looking at here?"
"I'm observing the exhibits here." Karasawa turned around and raised the glass of juice in his hand, "As expected of the Suzuki family, there are indeed many famous collections."
Not only are there names and surnames, some are simply exaggerated.
Tangze even saw a few exhibits among them that made him instinctively harden his fists. It took him a while to convince himself that this was the world of Ke Xue, and he calmed down.
Mouri Kogoro looked at the jewelry placed in the glass cabinet in front of them. He did not continue with this dry comment, but looked around and sighed: "It feels like this would have happened without Kidd." It is difficult for a banquet to attract so many people, especially with so many media... I didn’t expect that girl Yuanzi has some business acumen.”
Kidd, coupled with the blessing of the famous detective, made the exhibition hall, which did not sound so attractive at first, become a hot project. Reporters flocked to it, crying and shouting to come to participate even if they couldn't get the invitation. Yes, one by one With expressions implying excitement, it is not difficult to see that in their minds, they have finished thinking about how to capture the moment when Kaito Kidd appears, or capture a more important and decisive picture, and what kind of leap it will bring to their media. .
No one can tell whether Suzuki Sonoko had a deliberate plan or was just lucky enough to stumble upon this opportunity because of her good looks.
"And I didn't expect so many people to be eyeing it." Mouri Kogoro took a sip of his wine cherishingly, then raised his chin and motioned for them to look over there.
The art dealer named Gan Jiangyi was standing in the direction of the banquet hall door, talking to people, including people from the embassy.
To be more precise, almost all the people they met in the president's room that day were present.
Mouri Kogoro looked around for a while, then suddenly let out a sigh, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Why don't you see that beauty from China? What's her name? Her name is quite difficult to pronounce... Pu Si Qinglan? Yes. Right? ”
