The next day, have breakfast.
Ye Gengyi went out to Jianggutian to get materials.
10 o'clock in the morning.
Dr. Agasa takes the five young detectives to the hospital to visit Konno Junka.
The corner of the corridor outside the ward.
Conan looked at Haihara Ai in disbelief: "What did you say!?"
As if he realized that he was a little out of sorts, he paused and lowered his voice: "...It was you who asked Brother Gengyi to stop Mr. House Secretary from jumping off the building?"
"No, to be precise..."
Hui Yuan Ai corrected:
"I didn't know that Konno Otakuji wanted to jump off the building, and I didn't know that Miss Sumatsu was pregnant before I came here to visit her today. At that time, I just wanted to know the regrets of a man who wanted to kill his wife after the murder. Is it because I’m worried about Miss Chunxia or because I’m worried that the truth will be revealed?”
"So... when did you discuss it with Brother Gengyi?" Conan was depressed.
...If I had known earlier, why would I have pretended to go to the bathroom? Not only did I get beaten up by Brother Gengyi, but I was also prescribed a bunch of useless medicine by Xiao Lan!
"It's when you peek at other people's emails."
Haibara Ai did not hide anything: "Didn't Brother Sarada say at that time that he judged that Konno Takumi wanted to kill Miss Junxia from the beginning... What on earth are you suspecting?"
"I didn't know you asked Brother Gengyi for help, because if it were normal times... uh..."
Conan always felt that Haiyuan Ai would complain, so he swallowed the second half of his sentence wittily.
Could he say that he suspected that Brother Geng would hand the case directly to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation?
Moreover, looking at the scene at the time, Brother Geng obviously did that.
As a result...who would have known that this was actually a test for Konno Otakuji.
Haihara Ai ignored Conan's hesitation and asked, "Then what? What did you do in the hospital yesterday?"
"After coming down from the rooftop, I followed Mr. Otsuka to the ward and found Miss Junxia's mobile phone on the table next to me. So I asked Mr. Otsuka to read the email on it and waited until Ms. Junxia regained consciousness. The misunderstanding was successfully resolved..."
Conan paused, his face full of resentment: "It wasn't until Xiaolan called me to ask about my location that I realized that you guys had actually gone back..."
Hui Yuan Ai yawned: "Then it's your fault for being too nervous."
"Yeah yeah……"
Conan looked like he was too lazy to argue with you:
"Just when I was taken by Xiaolan to prescribe medicine, Officer Sato also came. After hearing what you said, I thought about the buffer for this period of time. Brother Genichi had considered it in advance. If Miss Junxia doesn't If you forgive Mr. House Secretary, Mr. House Secretary will inevitably be subject to criminal punishment. Therefore, the confessions of the two of them should have described this incident as an accident..."
"Oh? You didn't try to expose it?" Hui Yuan Ai asked pretending to be surprised.
"Please, I wasn't at the scene at that time, and even if I was, I wouldn't expose it. After all, there was no murder," Conan curled his lips: "The couple has reconciled, do I need to be the bad guy? "
"Hmph, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to forgive Konno Takuji so easily." Haibara Ai looked unhappy: "I always feel that you left with us obediently yesterday, and Brother Geng will definitely do a better job on this matter. .”
I don’t doubt this at all. After all, your and Brother Gengyi’s personalities are very similar...
Conan said with shame: "Okay, okay...this matter is in the past. Then again..."
He changed the subject and said:
"Speaking of Brother Gengyi, why didn't he come today?"
really……
Hui Yuan Ai didn't even need to write anything, and said directly: "I don't know, you can call and ask yourself."
Conan: "..."
No, let’s forget it…
…
Ekoda, Blue Parrot Billiards Bar.
Ye Gengyi was flipping through a drawing of the internal structure of the Ray Locke Art Museum.
"The goal this time is painting?"
"Hehe, you can also say that it's the youth of Terai," Kuroba Kaito said jokingly.
"Ahem! Master Kaito!" Terai Huangnosuke blushed.
"So... why do you want to go to the United States?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"...Brother, aren't you at all curious about the part about 'Terai's youth'?" Kuroba Kaito made a fuss.
"Not interested." Ye Gengyi said.
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
I was wrong, why should I have expectations for this bastard brother?
Terai Huangnosuke: "..."
What's going on with this inexplicable feeling of loss...
"Tell me about your plan." Ye Gengyi continued to ask.
"……Well……"
Kuroba Kaito collected his thoughts and got back to the point:
"The reason is that Mr. Terai saw the Ashiya Sunflowers that were said to have been damaged on an auction website in the United States. Because the message in the note stated that the work was authenticated by experts, it became quite popular. of……"
"Brother, some of the materials you asked me to purchase a few days ago can be purchased from the United States. I wanted to verify the authenticity of the painting first. If it is genuine, I would find a way to steal the painting. And then come back with that batch of smuggled materials. After all, I can’t get on a plane with that painting.”
"..."
Ye Gengyi was silent for a few seconds, "I'm asking about the plan, not the process. How do you plan to steal?"
"Let's think about plans after we get there. I haven't observed the layout of that auction house yet, but..."
Kuroba Kaito showed a confident smile: "With me, Kaitou Kid, I will naturally steal the painting in an honest way~"
Aboveboard...stealing? It's better to say it's an open grab...
Ye Gengyi asked: "What is the preparation plan after the failure?"
"Brother!"
Kuroba Kaito said dissatisfied: "We haven't even started yet, so why did you miss it?"
"..."
Ye Gengyi didn't bother to watch him play tricks, and directly threw the 'Internal Structure Diagram of Ray Kroc Art Museum' in his hand on the table:
"Although there is no mark on it, this is indeed the property of the Suzuki family. After seeing the location of the building, I remembered that when I was at the Bell Tree Tower, I heard Sonoko talk about an art museum that was still under construction at that time. Hmm... Suzuki The consortium also wants to buy that painting?"
In his opinion, the Suzuki family's financial resources would not allow them to sell paintings.
"I just said that I should show you this structural diagram after I come back..."
Kuroba Kaito shrugged: "According to my understanding, that super rich old man is planning to hold a sunflower exhibition in this art museum in the near future... It's not a gem. I didn't plan to steal it, but... I received this from a Kaitou Kid fan forum yesterday."
As he spoke, he opened his laptop and played a recording.
