"Kaitou Kidd..."
For a moment, when they saw this card falling from the ceiling, the expressions of everyone present changed. Gao Yuan looked up at the ceiling, as if he had found nothing, and then turned to look at the card. card--
"At midnight tomorrow, from the treasure hidden in the Mitarai family, I will come again to take away the 'Earth without Silhouette'."
Looking at the words on the card, Gao Yuan read out the words on it with a serious expression, then suddenly his face was startled and he hurriedly said:
"Mr. Hayama, call the police immediately! Also, everyone in the villa cannot leave here from now on!"
In this way, Gao Yuan made a judgment.
"Hello……"
Regarding this, Mitarai Cloud was first surprised when he saw this card that appeared here unexpectedly:
"'In the hidden treasure'... Is it possible that the thief will find the property before midnight tomorrow!"
So, when he thought of this, Mitarai Cloud panicked and urged Mitarai Xiang beside him:
"Brother, if this is the case, we can't wait any longer! What if the thief has his hands on us and we haven't found the inheritance left by our father yet?
"Moreover, if there is a will on that property, saying that it is given to the first discoverer to inherit, then we will have to give those properties to the thief!"
But in the face of Mitarai Yun's anxious mood, Mitarai Xiang and Mitarai Zongxu acted very calmly, and at the same time they both looked at Gao Yuan——
"very strange……"
After deep thought, Mitarai Sho said this.
"What a coincidence."
Mitarai Munexu leaned back on the chair, clasped his hands in front of him, and said calmly with his eyes closed.
"Indeed, what a coincidence."
Nodding silently, Gao Yuan affirmed:
"About this letter, I notified Mr. Hayama as soon as I learned about it, and then immediately asked everyone to gather here. There should be no chance to leak the news in the meantime, so when will it be..."
"Xiang, when the thief showed up yesterday, Mr. Mingzhi wasn't there, was he?"
While Gao Yuan was pondering over his analysis, Mitarai Munexuo suddenly said this.
"Yes."
In response, Mitarai Xiang nodded and responded:
"Mr. Mingzhi lost contact for a long time yesterday, and before the thief showed up, he called Xiaoxue on his mobile phone."
So, after receiving such a reply, Mitarai Munexu nodded silently, opened his eyes, and looked at Gao Yuan sharply, as if he wanted to see through Gao Yuan's inner thoughts.
But in response, Gao Yuan just frowned slightly, and at the same time understood the other party's intention, and then asked:
"So, Mr. Zongxu is doubting me?"
"Didn't you also say so? The timing of the appearance of this notice letter is too coincidental."
Without denying it, Mitarai Munexuo replied seriously, and his expression became serious at the same time:
"Besides, you are the only outsider here!"
"Second uncle!"
Hearing this, understanding the meaning of Mitarai Munexu's words, Mitarai Yukina suddenly said in surprise, seeming to strongly disagree and dissatisfied with Mitarashi Munexu's attitude.
"Second uncle..."
At the same time, Mitarashi Rui also seemed to have some objections to Mitarashi Zongxu saying such words at this time.
In response, Mitarashi seemed to notice the change in Mitarai's attitude. Mitarai Xiang glanced at Mitarai strangely, but did not say anything about it. Instead, he looked at Takato again and focused his attention back -
"It is said that the thief is a cross-dressing master, so no one has seen his true face, so this possibility cannot be ruled out..."
Calmly, Mitarashi Xiang followed Mitarashi Munexu's words and said——
That's right, now Mitarai Xiang and Mitarai Munexu are doubting the possibility that Takato is Kaitou Kidd.
Regarding this situation, Gao Yuan frowned slightly. Although to a certain extent, the presence of this notice letter did help him, but in any case, he was not Kaitou Kidd after all, so Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at Also present, and representing Mitarai Kyousuke’s position, Hanada Emi——
Isn’t Hanada Emi clear about why she lost contact with her yesterday?
In this regard, looking at Gao Yuan's eyes looking at him, Hanada Emi's thoughts were sharp, and he immediately understood Gao Yuan's intention——
He wants to help testify about his whereabouts yesterday, thereby clearing his current suspicion.
For this reason, Hanada Emi felt very unhappy with this feeling, but when she thought that Gao Yuan might also use her disguised identity to make matters worse, in this situation, Hanada Emi had no choice but to respond. road:
"Well... actually yesterday, Mr. Mingzhi went to help me investigate something..."
In this way, when these words were spoken, everyone present could not help but look at Hanada Emi. Among them, Mitarai Yukina's expression was slightly pleased, Mitarai Rui's expression seemed to be quite relieved, as for Mitarai Xiang and Mitarai Zong Xu's face looked a little heavy in response to such an answer.
However, now that it was all said and done, neither Mitarai Munexuo nor Mitarai Sho said much on the matter, so they asked Hayama Hayato to call the police——
As expected, the police department who arrived at the scene was Ginzo Nakamori, who was still staying in Sapporo and had not returned.
When Nakamori Ginzo learned that Kaitou Kidd's warning letter had appeared again at Mitarai's suburban villa, Nakamori Ginzo first pinched the faces of everyone present to make sure that no one was being disguised. , after learning the details of the matter, he made a serious decision——
"Well, in that case, it seems that Kaitou Kidd is very confident that he can find the property left by your father. So, to be on the safe side, we must find that place in advance and take precautions. If we don't do anything, If we let Kaitou Kidd steal the gem, we may not know anything by then, and this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen!"
So loudly, Nakamori Ginzo said, and then said to the police officers behind him:
"Everyone, immediately start searching the nearby countryside! We must find that cave!"
"yes!"
Firmly, the police officers responded loudly, and then most of the police officers who had followed Nakamori Ginsan here went out, preparing to go out to find the location of the cave.
At the same time, after making such arrangements, Nakamori Ginzo looked at everyone present at the Mitarai family and asked curiously:
"However, according to the content of the letter left by your father, the location where he hid the property is a cave not far from here. Therefore, don't you have any ideas about the location of that cave? Well?"
Everyone present thought about this, and then looked at each other from time to time, but in the end no one came to any conclusion.
Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo only left a sentence, "If you think of anything later, please inform him immediately." Then he left with the other police officers and also participated in the search for the cave.
Faced with this situation, Mitarai Xiang seemed to have a headache, and looked at Mitarai Munexu next to him.
Seeing this, Mitarashi Zongxu thought about it and could only say:
"Indeed, now that things have reached this point, we still have to find a way to find the cave. As for the follow-up issues..."
Saying that, Mitarai Munexuo looked at Hayama Hayato and asked:
"Yeshan, if this matter ultimately leads to problems with the distribution of this property, is it okay..."
"If this is the case, the impact of force majeure can be considered...but the specific situation is not clear now, and I can't guarantee anything."
Listening to Mitarai Munexu's inquiry, Hayama Hayato probably understood what the other party meant, so he said so.
"Really."
Hearing this, Mitarashi Munexu nodded, and then said:
"In that case, let's find a way to find the cave first. However, in order to avoid problems..."
Saying that, Mitarai Munexu looked at Gao Yuan and asked:
"Mr. Akechi, since the thief said he would start at midnight tomorrow night, there is still more than a day before then. I wonder if you can find the location of the cave?"
"This...I can't guarantee it, but you can try."
After hearing such a question, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and gave this answer.
Hearing this, Mitarai Zongxu said no more, while Mitarai Xiang continued at this time, looked at the other people present, and then said to Gao Yuan:
"In that case, I leave this matter to you. Of course, before that, this matter can be regarded as a commission, so let's sign a new agreement."
Saying that, Hayama Hayato seemed to understand what Mitarai Sho meant, so he said:
"That's no problem. I'll draw up a new agreement right away."
Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan had no objection, and no one else present expressed any opinions on it.
In this regard, looking at the attitudes of the Mitarai family leaders, Gao Yuan understood that they were worried that finding the cave in advance might affect the ownership of the property, so they had to sign an agreement in advance to stipulate this matter.
However, Gao Yuan was not convinced about such an idea. After all, as far as the current clues were concerned, everything was still unknown to them, so it was normal to be prepared in advance.
In this regard, Hayama Hayato quickly drafted an agreement and asked Gao Yuan to sign it. The party at the Mitarai family villa ended tonight, and everyone left separately...
…
Late at night, in the forest at the bottom of the cliff, a black figure leaned against the cliff with a flashlight, groping and walking slowly forward.
Then, probably feeling that he was almost done, he started to search carefully in a specific area——
In the end, the cave sealed by the iron gate was actually found by that figure.
However, looking at the door illuminated by the flashlight, there was no handle or key at all, and it was even locked from the inside. The figure couldn't help but feel very surprised, and then in disbelief, he pushed the door hard. After confirming that there was really no way to push the door open from the outside, the figure was a little dumbfounded——
"I really didn't expect it. It turned out to be you?"
It was a bit regretful that just when the figure was at a loss for the iron gate in front of him, a sigh came from the forest behind the figure, and he said this helplessly.
When he heard this, the figure was suddenly startled, turned his head in great surprise, and shined the light of the flashlight behind him, looking at the person who actually appeared here at this time——
That's right, it's Gao Yuan.
Under the light of the flashlight, Gao Yuan, who was wearing a beige windbreaker, looked at the person in front of him with a slightly regretful expression, as if he was helpless that the person he was really waiting for would be this person——
"Miss Rui, it is indeed you."
After saying this, following Takayuan's line of sight, the figure appearing here turned out to be Mitarashi Rui!
Gao Yuan was a little surprised by such a result, but it seemed to make sense——
"Have you known about the existence of this cave for a long time? But it seems like you haven't been here for a long time."
Muttering, Gao Yuan looked at the cave behind Mitarashi Rui and asked.
"Mr. Ming Mingzhi..."
With a slight frown on his brow, Mitarari seemed very puzzled, muttering about Takato's title and making a confused sound.
Gao Yuan thought about this and couldn't help but said:
"Miss Rui, I have many questions that need to be answered urgently. I wonder if you can give me an answer?"
"What's the meaning?"
Seeing that Gao Yuan did not directly ask why he appeared here, Mitarashi Rui suddenly understood that meeting Gao Yuan here this time was not something that could be easily fooled——
Moreover, he...
Why here?
He already knew this place!
Thinking of this, looking at Takato's face, a guess made Mitarai Rui even more convinced of that possibility——
"What was this cave used for before? Also, Ms. Mitarashi Aya's... you said the illegitimate child who passed away was a boy or a girl?"
Looking very serious, Gao Yuan asked this question——
Originally, he had never thought about the previous question, but when Kuroba Kaito entered the cave and discovered some abnormalities, Gao Yuan began to make guesses about some things.
And now, Mitarai Rui can actually find this place so quickly, which shows...
Things seemed to be more complicated than I expected.
However, as long as we can ask more questions about the truth, sooner or later we will be able to sort it out.
In this regard, after hearing these two questions raised by Gao Yuan, Mitarashi Rui seemed a little confused and asked:
"Mr. Mingzhi, since you already know this place, why do you need to ask me these two questions again? Shouldn't you know it already?"
"Um?"
Puzzled, seeing Mitarashi Rui reacting like this actually made Takato even more confused——
Shouldn't I have known about this kind of thing a long time ago?
But, didn't it say that in Mitarai Haruka's message?
After thinking about this, Gao Yuan followed the original idea and explained and asked:
"I did think that judging from the doubts that President Xiang and Mr. Yun had about the identity of 'Kyosuke Mitarai', they were worried that he would not be able to confirm his identity even if he passed the blood test. After that, , I once heard Mr. Zongxu's words, and then I thought that President Xiang and Mr. Yun should think that Mr. "Mitarai Kyousuke" might be the illegitimate son of Ms. Mitarai Aya...
"But then, I thought about a certain incident about Miss Kyoko that I had encountered before, and I began to guess——
"Is it possible that he is actually not an illegitimate child, but an illegitimate daughter?"
