Seeing Suzuki Sonoko's excited look, a certain detective boy hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said:
"That gun belt...could it be a counterfeit?"
He didn't have to pour cold water on it, but because Ryoma Sakamoto lived in the Choshu Domain at the time, which was an area that was hit hard by the shogunate. In such an environment, it was necessary to set a valuable ruby in a place that was in need at all times. The gun belt attached to the body...
Is it because you don’t want to die quickly enough?
Immediately, Conan recounted what he saw on 'TV'.
Suzuki Sonoko was choked and directly attacked personally:
"You little devil, if you are so suspicious, you will not grow taller!"
I want you to take care of... Conan's half-moon eyes.
"Hmph! Anyway... that gun belt must be authentic! Because there is an autographed letter from Ryoma in this exhibit, which mentions the gun belt!" Suzuki Sonoko argued with reason.
"But..." Conan was about to say something more.
Mao Lilan interrupted:
"Okay, okay... I think it must be the real thing, otherwise how could Uncle Jiroji buy it."
"Well……"
Suzuki Sonoko looked embarrassed: "No, actually... uncle hasn't bought that gun belt yet."
Um?
As soon as he said this, even Ye Gengyi looked over with questioning eyes.
That wealthy Suzuki Jirokichi didn’t buy it? Could it be that Ryoma's gun belt is really just a bait used to catch Kaito Kidd?
Suzuki Sonoko shrugged and explained:
"There is no way, because the owner of that gun belt has never been willing to sell it, so my uncle had no choice but to lend the venue to others to hold this dragon and horse exhibition..."
"However, since we have received the warning letter, it means that Kaitou Kidd still wants to steal that gun belt." Mao Lilan said.
"Uh... I didn't make it clear. In fact, things are not what you think..."
Suzuki Sonoko thought for a moment and explained:
"This time Lord Kidd is not here to steal gems, but to return the stolen treasures."
ha? !
Conan and Mao Lilan's eyes widened.
"Are you finally crazy?" Ye Geng commented.
Conan: "..."
Haha... As expected of Geng Yige, his mouth is really poisonous. However, Kaitou Kidd actually came to return the items before stealing the gems... This style of painting really doesn't suit him...
"Hey! Even if you are Brother Geng, please don't slander Lord Kidd!"
Suzuki Sonoko protested, then took out her mobile phone and pulled out the photo of the notice letter:
"If you don't believe it, look at it!"
[In order to return the three treasures, I will visit the venue of the Ryoma Exhibition currently being held in the near future - Kaitou Kidd. 】
Conan stood on tiptoe and asked curiously after reading the contents of the notice letter:
"Huh? What are the three treasures?"
"According to Tarumi Inohiko, the organizer of this dragon and horse exhibition, these three treasures were stolen when he held the dragon and horse exhibition 20 years ago..."
Suzuki Sonoko held out three fingers in turn and explained:
"The first thing is a letter written to his wife the night before Ryoma Sakamoto was assassinated..."
"The second item is a wine glass stained with Sakamoto Ryoma's blood after he was assassinated in Omiya..."
"The third item was a Smith Type I pistol that was hidden in Ryoma's arms at that time."
Letter, wine glass, and pistol...
Huh? Wait a moment……
20 years ago?
According to the criminal files recorded by my father, Kaito Kidd first appeared 18 years ago. Judging from the appearance of that guy who is almost the same as myself, he should be around seventeen or eighteen years old...
Conan pondered for a moment, then analyzed thoughtfully:
"If it was 20 years ago, it wouldn't be Kaitou Kidd, right?"
"Hey, I knew you kid was going to say that."
Suzuki Sonoko looked prepared:
"I have already asked Uncle Jiroji. It was indeed not Kidd-sama who stole the three treasures 20 years ago, but the strange thief lady known as the Twenty-faced Woman of the Showa Era. As for Kidd-sama, it took 2 years for him to gradually Emerging... Some people speculate that the two of them may be masters and disciples."
"Lady Kaitou..." Conan murmured in a low voice, as if he was thinking about something again.
Here, Ye Gengyi would naturally not talk to the three people about whether Kaito Kidd or Black Feather Thief was at that time. He noticed that a certain detective boy who had seen Kaito's original appearance seemed to be still worried about his age. And frowned, directly changing the topic:
"Yuanzi, is it convenient for you to take us for a tour now?"
Since the notice letter has been sent out, and today is another day off, maybe the Kaitou boy has already gone to the museum to do something. Instead of sending an email to ask, it is better to go directly to the site to take a look.
"Hehe, I happened to think so too!"
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand: "Let's go, there must be a lot of people in the museum now, I will take you through the special passage."
Conan and Mao Lilan readily accepted.
It really fits that sentence. Many people hate privileges just because the privileges do not belong to them... Ye Gengyi also refused to comment on this.
…
Suzuki Grand Museum.
With a phone call from a certain wealthy lady, Suzuki Jirokichi was escorted to the side entrance of the venue.
"Hey...it's you guys. Geng Yi has been missing for a while."
Kaito saw it when he stole the unicorn horn, but you didn't know it... Ye Gengyi nodded slightly:
"Consultant Suzuki."
"Young people, you should be more energetic!"
Suzuki Jirokichi smiled and joked, then looked behind a few people, and then asked Suzuki Sonoko:
"Sonoko, isn't Tomoko with you?"
His current focus in life and work is mainly to catch Kaitou Kidd and make a big news to record in his autobiography. He has no interest in anything else.
It's just because I received a call from Suzuki Tomoko two days ago, saying that she would take Sonoko to get familiar with the Suzuki family's industry, and she might have to bother him, an elder, for advice...
"Hey, mom is on a business trip. I need to relax a lot these days."
Suzuki Sonoko stretched her waist and said in a tone of 'I am finally free':
"Okay, uncle, let's not talk about that for now... Let's quickly visit the dragon and horse exhibition."
"Okay, come with me."
Suzuki Jirokichi readily agreed and walked into the venue.
Walking through a light-filled corridor, I looked at the crowds of people outside the venue.
Mao Lilan said with emotion: "There are so many people coming to see the exhibition."
"Yeah, but it's just not what I expected."
Suzuki Jirokichi curled his lips:
"If I were to host it, I would definitely place as many advertisements as possible in newspapers and on TV, so that the number of guests would definitely increase several times."
