Chapter 50 Chapter 50
◎Mr. Amuro compromised unilaterally◎
Speaking of the challenge letter that Mr. Suzuki sent to Kaito Kid, the heroine didn't know how to evaluate this old man. He was so keen on catching Kaito Kid and spent so much money collecting gems from all over the world.
Then they racked their brains and spent money to set up traps, but he escaped every time, and they were very angry in the end. This was simply asking for trouble, but he seemed to be very keen on this. This must be his interest.
Mu'an Jiaxi put down the newspaper and turned his head to look at the garden.
Yuanzi just turned around and said excitedly: "Do you have anything to do tonight? If not, come with me to meet Mr. Kidd."
Mu'an Jiaxi was also very interested in Kidd, so he said, "No problem, let's go together."
Before Sonoko could say anything, Toru Amuro at the bar spoke up, stopping her, saying, "You can't go. Remember, you're still injured. It's not suitable for you to go to crowded places."
Mu'an Jiaxi's eyes immediately became pitiful. She just stared at him and tried to struggle. "I'm almost done. I haven't even seen Kidd yet, but I want to take a look." There was a coquettish tone in her voice that she didn't even notice.
Normally, if she insisted on going, she wouldn't have to care about Amuro Toru's opinion. But once he stopped her and disapproved of her going, she really wouldn't go.
It was all just a few words from Amuro Toru. Perhaps it was because she had been eating and drinking from him, enjoying his care, and automatically putting him in the role of mother, that she was so obedient.
But when I hear that I am not allowed to go where I want to go, I will still feel a little bit of resistance and struggle.
Sonoko overheard their conversation and instantly smelled gossip. She came over immediately and asked curiously, "Where are you going? Do you need Mr. Amuro's approval? When did you two become so close?" Her eyes darted between the two of them, a gossipy look on her face as she said with a sly grin, "Hey, I get it. Is there something going on between you two?"
Hearing this, Mu'an Jiaxi's mouth twitched constantly and he smiled helplessly. Knowing that she had misunderstood, he raised his hand towards her to explain something.
Suddenly, she slammed the table, pointed at the two of them, took a deep breath, as if she had discovered a shocking secret, and exclaimed, "You two are having an affair, right? When did you start dating?" Realizing her words were wrong, she hurriedly corrected herself, "Oh, no, when did you start dating?"
No one spoke as quickly as she did. Mu An Jiaxi's hand stayed awkwardly in mid-air, and finally he slapped his forehead helplessly, thinking: Oh my God!
Looking at the other two, they all had the same gossipy expression on their faces because of Yuanzi's words, and looked back and forth at them.
She knew that if she didn't explain, it would be impossible to explain it, so she quickly said, "You misunderstood. Mr. Amuro is just that kind of person. He loves to worry and care about others. He saw that my arm was injured and was afraid that I would go to a crowded place and hurt my arm again. Don't get the wrong idea."
Sonoko looked unconvinced and said doubtfully, "That's it."
Mu An Jia Xi said: "That's it, what else can we do."
In order to increase credibility, she signaled to Amuro Toru with her eyes, asking him to explain quickly.
Although Amuro Toru's face didn't look much different, he tightened his grip on the cup, and the veins on his arm were clearly visible. He probably didn't even notice it. With his usual unchanging smile on his face, he explained, "Ms. Sonoko, you really misunderstood."
Yuanzi said perfunctorily: "Oh, then it really is a misunderstanding." I don't know whether she believed it or not.
But Muan Jiaxi obviously didn't want to continue this, so he changed the subject directly and put aside the issue of whether to go or not. He didn't continue to argue with Amuro Toru in front of them, but had a debate in private.
But in fact it is a unilateral compromise.
According to Sonoko's introduction, Mu'an Jiaxi also knew about the experience of this maze novel. It unexpectedly became popular overnight, but in the end, no one cared about it for just one month.
Initially, the maze was incredibly popular due to the overwhelming hype, attracting crowds of tourists daily and even becoming a major Tokyo attraction. However, rumors began to circulate, some claiming it was haunted, with some claiming someone had died in the maze and, unable to leave, was filled with resentment, which then haunted it at night.
Some people accused the owner of abandoning his wife and children, bringing his mistress home and forcing his first wife to divorce him, even abandoning their children to her. The numerous rumors overwhelmed the owner, and the most inexplicable thing about him was that the story of abandoning his wife and children was true. Gradually, people began to boycott the maze city. As the boycott grew, the number of tourists dwindled, and soon the once-popular maze city closed down, and the owner was eventually forced to change his career.
Later, curious people went there once or twice, but because it was deserted, it was empty and deserted. Especially at night, it was pitch black. The huge maze city constantly echoed with the sound of their footsteps, making the atmosphere even more terrifying. They wanted to leave but couldn't. When they panicked, it was easy to have all sorts of thoughts and always felt that this place was unclean. So, as soon as they left, word spread, and from ten to a hundred, the name of this terrifying maze city spread.
………………
Horror maze city at night
Under the protection of Toru Amuro, Muan Jiaxi walked out of the crowd and reached the first row. There was a police cordon in front of them, and they could not get any closer.
There were not only onlookers and Kidd fans outside, but also a large number of media reporters reporting on what was happening here.
Standing beside them were Ran's family, Sonoko, and Sera Masumi. Among them, Sonoko was the one who kept chattering excitedly, "My Lord Kidd, ah..."
It was only 7:30, and there was still half an hour until 8 o'clock. Mu'an Jiaxi and the others didn't stay there for a while. Yuanzi, relying on his status, took them directly into the maze to take a look inside.
The maze was so huge that it was enough to make people dizzy. After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the place in the middle of the maze where the gems were placed.
The space in the middle is very large, and it is enough for more than 200 people to stand there.
As soon as they entered, they saw a large number of police officers guarding the wall. Mu Anjiaxi roughly estimated that there were at least forty or fifty people.
This doesn't even include the police outside, so if you add them all up, you can imagine how big the team is this time. But think about it, every time Nakamori Ginzo caught Kaito Kidd, it was always a big deal, with over a hundred people each time. I guess this is still a small number, but every time he caught him, he was fooled and escaped.
Their relationship is truly one of son-in-law playing tricks on his father-in-law, often making his father-in-law run around in circles and mad at him. Muan Jiaxi is looking forward to what kind of wonderful scene will be if Nakamori Ginzo knows that the Kaito Kid he has always wanted to catch is his son-in-law.
Several people walked to the table in the middle where the gems were placed and carefully examined the gems inside. The gems were covered by a thick glass cover and placed in the middle. There was a small round table below it to place the gems.
This gem is called Red Star Sea, and as its name suggests, it is a red gem. It is the size of a palm and has a lace-like shape. The light from the overhead shines directly on it, making the gem appear even more dazzling and crystal clear under the reflection of the light.
Suzuki Jirokichi was also present. Seeing them gathered around the gem, he pointed at it and proudly introduced it, "This gem is very rare. It took me more than half a year to buy it. It's a red star sea. There is only one in the world, one of a kind."
Conan, who was beside Xiaolan, touched the glass and said, "This is bulletproof glass, and it's double-layered."
Suzuki Jirokichi knocked on the glass and said, "This isn't ordinary bulletproof glass. It's made from special materials. It's not afraid of fire or bombs. Even a tank wouldn't be able to break it."
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed a button. The transparent glass instantly turned completely black, and in an instant, the gem disappeared. He continued, "Look, if you turn on this button, Kidd will get an electric shock if he touches the glass surface."
Mu'an Jiaxi couldn't help shaking his shoulders. Such a powerful thing couldn't even be crushed by a tank. How could Kidd take it out? Moreover, it was electrified.
And judging from Kidd's previous behavior, he should be in the crowd now. Who would he pretend to be? Mu An Jiaxi looked around.
Suddenly she noticed something was wrong with Sera Masumi's legs. She looked at them curiously and immediately understood. She must have felt her scalp tingling from looking at her. Sera Masumi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Sister Jiaxi?"
Mu'an Jiaxi smiled mysteriously at her and shook his head, saying, "It's okay." He patted her shoulder and said something that seemed innocent but somewhat baffling, praising her, "You look very beautiful today."
No matter how incomprehensible her words were, Sera Masumi was very happy to hear them. A smile immediately appeared on her face and she said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Then my eyes moved to the left and I saw Mouri Kogoro standing next to Xiaolan. He spoke very little today, with no smile on his face and not in a good mood. In short, he looked like I was in a bad mood today, which was very different from the Mouri Kogoro I had seen before.
His gaze turned to Conan, then immediately shifted away. It was impossible, unless Kid had the ability to shrink his bones.
At this time, Nakamori Ginzo came over with a sullen look on his face and said unhappily, "Bringing so many people here every time really affects our investigation."
He raised his hands and pulled Kogoro Mouri's cheeks on both sides without saying a word, pulling them left and right and saying, "Just in case, pull your faces to prove your innocence." As he said that, he let go of his hands that were pulling his cheeks.
Maori Kogoro instantly jumped in pain, rubbing his face, gasping for air in pain, "You...I want to check you too."
They just started pulling each other's faces hard. They were like two childish children, pinching each other non-stop until each other turned red. No one ended up well.
Nakamori Ginzo next extended his claws to Ran, and then Conan, who happened to be standing next to her. The next one, I have to say, was really lucky enough to experience the feeling of having her face pulled, her features flying around, tears streaming down her face, and her face stretched as long as it could be.
One word: cool, two words: very cool, one sentence to describe it, this "sour and cool" is so authentic, so exciting, and extremely exciting.
When being pulled by Nakamori Ginzo, Mu'an Jiaxi thought with relief in his mind: Fortunately, this face is real and has not been plastically reconstructed, otherwise the prosthesis would be pulled out.
