The drizzle of rain still couldn't dampen the fans' enthusiasm.
Suzuki Sonoko was extremely happy and said without any logic or basis that Kaitou Kidd's appearance tomorrow was definitely a reward for her hard work with her mother in the past few days.
Although Ye Gengyi, Mao Lilan and Conan understood this, they still felt speechless.
If you are chasing stars like this, I am afraid that Miss Suzuki in front of you is the only one in Tokyo.
The four of them found a nearby restaurant to have dinner.
After making an appointment to meet tomorrow, we said goodbye to each other and left.
Ye Gengyi walked on the street holding a black umbrella and quickly integrated into the environment.
Mihua Park.
Kuroba Kaito, who took off his police uniform and put on casual clothes, stood in the pavilion, boredly looking at the rainwater sliding down the eaves of the pavilion.
About ten minutes later, a figure slowly appeared on the unlit path, holding an umbrella in one hand and instant coffee in the other.
"Brother, you..."
A certain Kaitou boy with half-moon eyes.
If he remembered correctly... No! I still have that very brief meeting email on my phone.
Under normal circumstances, a message with a short content should be sent as soon as possible even if it is not urgent, right? But why does a certain bastard brother look so laid-back?
Ye Gengyi understood the look in the other person's eyes: "There happens to be a vending machine along the way, and if you are talking about time, if you leave the museum early, you will definitely be faster than me."
Ah, this... Although I really wanted to refute it, I didn't seem to know how to refute it... Kuroba Kaito was silent for a moment and decided to skip this topic:
"After that... did Mr. Suzuki think of any way to deal with me?"
"Metal detection door, X-ray scanning equipment, and you seem to be planning to use the rainy day to do something, right?"
Ye Geng shook off the rainwater on his umbrella and briefly recounted the strategy of a certain detective boy.
"What, that famous detective still wants to catch me so much." Kuroba Kaito muttered.
"Well, that guy is very realistic, so don't have any illusions." Ye Gengyi said.
"It doesn't matter~"
Kuroba Kaito waved his hand: "Mere metal detectors and X-ray equipment can't stop me."
Is that so...Kaito knew Nakamori Ginzo's character and should have expected that he would search the entire museum overnight, so hiding the items inside in advance would run the risk of being exposed...
Ye Geng thought for a while and said:
"Those three pieces of Ryoma's legacy are also counterfeits?"
Since it is a counterfeit product, the material of the pistol may not be metal, and the metal detection door will naturally lose its function.
"Brother, you are still so sharp."
Kuroba Kaito sighed: "It's not just three pieces, there must be as many as a hundred counterfeit items in total."
"Are they all those three?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Yeah, luckily the most numerous items are letters and wine glasses..."
Kuroba Kaito shrugged, "Brother, you must have heard of Chairman Gotsu, right?"
"No." Ye Gengyi said.
"Well, it's his...well...you haven't heard of it." Kuroba Kaito was embarrassed.
"Is he very famous?" Ye Geng recalled for a moment and was sure that he did not know anyone with this surname.
"Not really."
Kuroba Kaito explained:
"They are a group that specializes in forging precious treasures. They will hold an exhibition every time, and then pretend that the things have been stolen, so as to sell a large number of counterfeit products on the black market. 20 years ago, they often used my mother's Phantom Thief Lady's The famous people did this kind of thing, and in order to fight back, my mother also collected a lot of evidence against them, so now, she has handed over this matter to me."
"Is there already a way?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"Including those imitation pistols, if the lead bar in the handle is removed, it weighs 25 kilograms."
Kuroba Kaito put his hands on his abdomen and gestured with a protruding belly and smiled: "However, they must not have thought that I would bring so many things into the museum at once..."
Speaking of this, Kuroba Kaito paused for a moment, obviously intending to give up on the follow-up plan:
"By the way, brother, you will definitely go there tomorrow, right?"
Ye Geng said softly: "Once you accidentally get caught, I can deal with the aftermath nearby."
"Hey...it sounds weird to be dealing with something!" Kuroba Kaito complained.
He suspected that a certain old man was targeting his behavior of deliberately showing off just now, but there was no evidence.
Ye Gengyi's expression remained unchanged and he continued to ask the next question:
"Is the delivery of materials going smoothly?"
"The main reason is that shipping by sea takes some time. When the cargo ship arrives in Nevada, my mother can arrange for an acquaintance to transport it by plane, and it can be delivered in about a week."
Kuroba Kaito has done similar transactions more than once and is considered familiar with the business.
Hmm... As expected, this trip to London solved a lot of problems... Ye Gengyi nodded slightly and brought the topic back to tomorrow's dragon and horse exhibition:
"The important thing is to be careful about that detective. He has a lot of resentment towards you. If there is nothing else, let's do this first. I'm going back to sleep too."
"..."
Kuroba Kaito watched Ye Geng leave with an umbrella, but hesitated to speak.
Using the museum's automatic fire extinguisher to clean the exhibition hall was not a great idea, so he hid it at first.
I originally wanted to find a suitable time, but the topic suddenly turned to the batch of materials. Speaking of which... the brother who had no idea about this would be soaked in water tomorrow.
hiss……
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito quickly took out his mobile phone and then stopped.
What should I do? I’m really torn between wanting to see it and being afraid of being exploited...
…
On the other side, until Ye Gengyi walked back to 2-chome, he did not receive any calls or emails.
Take the key and open the door.
His gaze penetrated into the house.
Instantly, his attention fell on Dr. A Li and Haibara Ai, who were squatting in front of the sofa in the living room and fiddling with something from there.
"Oh! Gengyi, you're back." Dr. A Li faced the entrance and said hello.
"Um."
Ye Geng inserted an umbrella into the umbrella stand, changed his shoes and took a closer look.
I saw a somewhat worn vase placed in the position blocked by Hui Yuan Ai: "...antique?"
"You have to ask the doctor."
Haiyuan Ai said, reaching into the bottle and taking out the 'Snow Pear': "But this child really likes to get into it."
"Where did the bottle come from?" Ye Gengyi asked.
Dr. Ali smiled and explained: "Because you sent an email recently saying that you wanted to go to the Ryoma Exhibition, so I suddenly thought of the carpets and vases I found at the 'flea market' a long time ago. Hehe, not necessarily It’s an antique, but it looks very period.”
The so-called 'flea market' is a market where some residents sell their unwanted or extra items at a designated location and exchange them for some property.
Ye Gengyi naturally knew this, but he had not participated in it.
He walked over, picked up the vase, inspected it from inside to outside, top to bottom, and said:
"Well... although it is pottery, the production process, especially the inside, is very rough, and... there are no marks left by the maker on the whole, and there is a lack of historical records of style in a specific era, so it is impossible to compare it in terms of data. However, , then again, this kind of production technology is most likely a fake."
Ye Geng put the vase back on the ground:
"Kaitou Kidd showed up. We have to go to the Ryoma Exhibition tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed."
The atmosphere in the living room fell silent.
After a long time, Dr. Ali said: "It turns out it's a fake..."
That person was too tactful... Although Haiyuan Ai already agreed with Ye Gengyi's comments in his heart, he still said:
"Brother Gengyi is not a professional appraiser, so his words can only be used as a reference."
"That's right!"
Dr. A Li was inspired and couldn't help clenching his fists, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes: "Xiao Ai, let's just shoot a video and upload it to a popular video website. Taking advantage of this period of enthusiasm, we may be able to contact a professional appraiser! "
