hotel room.
Kuroba Kaito showed the secretly taken security photos on his laptop:
"It's said to be well-defended...but it looks like it's just average, right?"
Ye Gengyi nodded slightly, while memorizing the topographic map of the auction house, he shared the information he obtained after hacking into the camera:
"I have been paying attention to your 'loyal fan'... There is no trace of logging in to the other party's forum account again."
Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito also frowned: "I didn't log in to my fan website again to check the reply. This is indeed very suspicious. After all, no matter who the other party is, even if I can hear such a message, there is no reason to be sure. I will really take action to steal that sunflower..."
"Well, two possibilities."
Ye Gengyi picked up the mouse and stored the photo data in the encrypted space:
"First, the other party was just looking for fun and didn't expect you to read the message. Because Mr. Terai was very concerned about the "Ashiya Sunflowers", we misunderstood... Second, we came to the United States. Reason. The other party wants to do something to the painting in your name."
"Uh... bro," Kuroba Kaito hesitated, "So haven't we already analyzed the reasons?"
"Then have you analyzed who the other party is?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"this……"
Kuroba Kaito thought for a while, "It should be someone who wants to frame the crime of stealing paintings on me."
"It's not that simple," Ye Gengyi said: "Everyone who has heard of Kaitou Kidd knows that he is just a thief who likes gems and seeking death. It is difficult to cause the crime of stealing paintings to be framed on your head. consensus."
"Hey...brother, did you just take the opportunity to use a bad adjective?"
Kuroba Kaito focused on the key point, and when he saw someone ignoring him, he pondered after a moment:
"In other words, if there is something wrong with the "Ashiya Sunflowers", as long as the other party hears the recording, they will doubt me... Could it be that they are from Mr. Suzuki's side?"
"We have contacted John Smith. We have just inspected the vault where the sunflowers are stored in the auction house, and no management-level problems were found in the security measures and procedures. I think there is a high probability that the sunflower will be auctioned by Jirokichi Suzuki..."
Ye Gengyi analyzed:
"If that's the case, you can set the search criteria to someone who doesn't quite understand Suzuki Jirokichi's attitude towards you, but at the same time knows that he is determined to get the painting."
Kuroba Kaito touched his chin and showed a thoughtful expression: "When you say that, brother, the woman who claims to be in charge of planning is very suspicious..."
"The information is still too little," Ye Gengyi continued his analysis, "However, assuming that someone really dares to impersonate Kaitou Kidd, it means that he has a certain degree of certainty and confidence that he will not be caught. For now... continue to implement your plan , just adapt to circumstances."
"Um."
Kuroba Kaito nodded in agreement. He stood up, walked to the window and stared at the street in the night. After a moment, he was suddenly startled:
"Eh? That's not right! Isn't my identity as an 'assistant'? Why are you taking orders from him again???"
"Oh, one more thing, when I hacked into the camera... huh? What happened to your eyes?"
Here, Ye Gengyi was about to share the next piece of information. When he felt the gaze, he looked up and saw a certain Kaitou boy looking at him with a resentful look on his face.
"..."
Kuroba Kaito felt that even if the topic of 'assistant' and 'commander' was brought up again and again, he wouldn't care too much because of his temperament, so he simply skipped this very confusing topic and asked:
"Brother, don't worry about me, just keep talking."
"Have you paid attention to the other lots in this auction?" Ye Gengyi asked.
This is a little trick to get the attention of both parties involved in the conversation.
Ye Gengyi didn't want a certain Kaitou boy to reply with "Huh?" after he finished speaking. I was just distracted and didn't hear it'.
"Other lots?" Kuroba Kaito was stunned, "This one doesn't exist..."
"The camera in the exhibition hall captured some of the posters," Ye Gengyi said, "There was a Kashmir sapphire among them."
"It turns out that such rare gems are still being auctioned."
Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes and his mind began to race, "Could it be that the other party deliberately left clues about the sunflower to attract our attention? In fact, the real target is this sapphire."
"Don't make random guesses," Ye Gengyi said. "The other party may not deliberately use sunflowers as bait, and of course the real target may not be the sapphire. All our current guesses are based on one premise, that is, if there is really Then a person or a group must first assume that the other party is a rational and intelligent criminal, and the rest of the inferences must be revised in time as the intelligence is updated, because in fact, we do not understand the other party’s true motives and purposes, and any Guesses can be wrong."
"Well……"
Kuroba Kaito held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, then said:
"As for the sapphire, there has been a moon lately, but appearing as Kaito Kid to steal the gem might attract those guys here."
"It doesn't matter, things can be done one by one."
Ye Gengyi said calmly: "No matter who the owner of the gem is, write down his identity first, and borrow it if you have the opportunity in the future."
"That makes sense."
Kuroba Kaito's eyes lit up and he simply stopped worrying.
…
Early the next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
The two of them had already gotten up and washed up. They had already packed up their clothes and were ready to carry out the next plan - to inquire about the TV station's schedule.
Thanks to Suzuki Jirokichi's character of doing things in a big way.
Tomorrow, they only need to disguise themselves as corresponding staff members and they can successfully enter the auction house.
"I'm familiar with this. Tomorrow we will pretend to be the staff responsible for setting up the venue. As long as we don't stand out too much, wearing their uniforms will not arouse anyone's suspicion." Kuroba Kaito said.
"Well... this is a 'little toy' I made before." Ye Geng took out two cards like magic and handed one of them to Kuroba Kaito: "For electronic access control with a lower encryption level, It can be cracked easily."
"..."
"..."
The two left the hotel and walked towards the TV station. However, just when they were about to arrive at the TV station, Ye Gengyi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Kuroba Kaito asked confused.
Ye Gengyi looked at a figure in front of him and frowned slightly: "I saw a 'familiar' person and I need to confirm it."
