Chapter 061 Stealing the Ruby (VI)
"Are you... sure no one will notice this?" Hatori Yui asked hesitantly.
The thief found an empty room, took out a bunch of bottles and jars, and smeared them on his face for five minutes.
"I'm Kaito Kidd!" he said proudly, "No one can see my true face!"
Looking at the five finger marks on his face that had not yet been erased, Hatori Yui reminded him, "Your mask is broken. You should change it."
Kaito Kidd brushed his face with a makeup brush and said, "I know, I'll fix it later."
He made Yui Hatori wear a black T-shirt with an exaggerated tiger head painted on it and gave him an exaggerated tattoo on his neck. He transformed a studious young man into a ruthless thug.
He looked Hatori Yui up and down and was very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
"Done!" He handed over a mirror. "Look, you look like a completely different person, don't you?"
Hatori Yui took it, and the man in the mirror looked completely different. He looked at Kaito Kid in amazement, thinking that his hands were truly magical.
"We don't have enough materials, so we can only make some minor adjustments. Otherwise, I can completely disguise you as someone else without any problem." Kidd said with his hands on his hips, "Now, the chances of being stopped when you walk outside are greatly reduced."
Hatori Yuiichi put down the mirror and asked, "So what exactly do you want me to do?"
Kaito Kidd took out a few props and said, "Just help me fix these things to the designated positions."
Those devices are not small. They are a disc larger than an adult male's palm, and the circle around them looks a bit like an air vent.
Hatori Yuiichi frowned and said, "This is too obvious. Will someone find out?"
Kaito Kidd said, "No. The place I chose is very hidden. You put it higher and no one will see it." If it wasn't difficult to bring Grandpa Terada in, he wouldn't have asked for help at this time. He didn't know if this guy was reliable.
However, if he put it in the wrong place, it’s okay, he still has a backup plan.
Following Kidd's instructions, Hatori Yui placed several devices under the eaves of several houses. Perhaps the makeup was effective, as the maids he encountered along the way didn't notice anything unusual about him.
In other words, no one dared to look up at him.
This makes it easier for him to move.
After installing all the equipment, he went south to find Dong Yexi as Kidd said.

After Higashino Hi was captured, Takayama Takashi threw him aside. It was not until the end of dinner that he remembered to call for a ransom.
Kumamoto Zhiming picked up his teacup and said, "Let Higashino Teru make the call." He blew off the foam, took a sip, and said, "After all, he is the mastermind."
Gao Shanlong pointed at him and said with a smile: "You are getting worse and worse!"
So, this hot potato fell into the hands of Higashino Teru.
Higashino Teru hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind and making a ransom call to Higashino's house. He said, "Your second young master is in my hands. If you want him to be safe, immediately prepare a ransom of 100 billion and transfer it to the account below..." After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
When Fujizuka Tian received the call, his eyes dimmed slightly.
This is Higashino Teru's voice.
Even though he pinched his throat, he still heard it.
Fujizuka Tian originally wanted to tell the eldest young master about the matter, but he hesitated for a moment when he remembered that the second young master had told him before he left to take full responsibility and not to disturb the eldest young master's recuperation.
However, he thought about it and realized that one hundred billion was not something he could decide.
So, Fujizuka Tian knocked on the door of the eldest young master's hospital room.
When he walked into the ward, he heard the eldest young master ask, "Did something happen?"
Fujitsuka Tian was slightly stunned.
"Your expression isn't very good." Dong Yexu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it about Xiaoxi?"
Fujizuka Tian nodded: "The second young master was kidnapped by Higashino Teru." He repeated the content of the ransom call.
Dong Yexu fell silent. After a long moment, he sighed, "After all, they're not brothers. He's never had a good brain since he was a kid."
"He should be in the Gaoshan Group right now. Send someone to negotiate terms with them. Release Xiaoxi and hand over Dongye Zhao, and the matter will be settled. Once the Gaoshan Group agrees to hand him over, transfer a sum of money to that account that meets the 'extraordinarily large amount' stipulated in the Criminal Law."
Fujitsuka Tian understood what he meant and turned around to make arrangements.
Dong Yexu leaned against the head of the bed and couldn't help thinking: Xiaoxi has been a little unlucky lately. Should I ask for a talisman for him?

There were several independent small houses in the south. Yui Hatori searched several of them before he found one with someone guarding the door.
This should be the one!
He walked over calmly.
The gatekeeper was sitting on the threshold, idly pulling at the grass. When he saw someone approaching, he immediately stood up and asked, "Is it time for a change of guard?"
Hatori Yui paused, nodded, and said in a gruff voice, "I'll guard it tonight."
"Great!" The gatekeeper stretched lazily. "Staying guard is tiring. I've been sitting all afternoon. I'm sure I'll fall asleep tonight!"
Hatori Yuiichi asked, "What's the situation inside?"
The gatekeeper pointed at the door and said, "There's been no movement. The eldest young master must be too pampered and took some drugs and is unconscious now. Anyway, it's very quiet, so don't worry."
The gatekeeper took out the key from his pocket and was about to hand it to him when he suddenly said, "There's no light in here, it's a little dim, I can't see you clearly. Who are you?"
Hatori Yui said calmly, "Senior, don't you recognize me? We met today."
The gatekeeper thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Ah~~ You're the new guy, Xiaolong! I was wondering, who's as tall as you?" He handed over the key, patted Hatori Yui's arm, and said, "I'll leave it to you from now on."
Hatori Yuiichi said, “Yes.”
The gatekeeper didn't notice anything unusual and walked away casually.
After seeing no one, Hatori Weiyi immediately opened the door and pushed it open. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything.
Hatori Yui anxiously whispered, "Senior? Senior? Are you there?"
He was suddenly hit by a stick on his lower back, and a deep voice came from behind him: "Don't move, this is a robbery!"
Hatori Yui:......
He said helplessly: "Senior, stop making trouble."
Dong Yexi dropped the stool leg in his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"I saw you being kidnapped and followed you all the way here." Hatori Yui turned to look at him. In the dim light, he could only see an outline, but he accurately grasped Higashino's hand. "Stop talking for now, let's get out of here."
"Wait." Dong Yexi held his hand and asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
Hatori Yuiichi thought for a moment and said, "It should be considered martial law. Kaito Kidd has already entered, but the Takayama Group hasn't discovered him yet."
Dong Yexi frowned slightly. He looked at his countdown and felt that the time was a little wrong.
Kidd had appeared so early, but there were still more than twenty hours left. Could it be that the fire hadn't started during their fight?
Higashino Hiji carefully considered the situation and came up with another scenario. The arsonist was most likely Higashino Teru. As long as he didn't participate in tonight's capture of Kidd, he could survive until the end. Once the Takayama Group was completely sieved by the winery and the zoo, leaving them no time to worry about him, he could burn the place down and escape, pocketing the ransom. By then, the severely weakened Takayama Group would have no choice but to accept the loss.
In this case, if we find an opportunity to tie up Higashino Teru, we should be able to avoid this crisis.
Higanohei squeezed Hatori Yuiichi's hand and said, "Let's go and kidnap someone first!"
He just couldn't believe that he and Hatori Yui couldn't beat that weakling?

Gin took Vodka to the outer member base and took away a group of people and weapons.
Chianti touched the sniper rifle in his hand and said excitedly, "You brought so many people? Looks like we're going to have a big fight tonight!"
Vodka, however, was a little worried and said, "Brother, isn't this scene a bit too big? What if the police catch us..."
Gin said calmly, "Yakuza gunfights are common. Even if the police heard gunshots, they would just pretend to be passing by."
"Hahaha! That's great! This way we can have fun without any worries!" Ever since Chianti received this task, he has been as excited as if he had taken drugs.
Gin said, "I only want the ruby, you can take whatever you want with the rest."
"Understood!" Chianti saluted.
The headquarters of the Alpine Group is an antique building, all one floor high, with only a few trees as cover. This makes it convenient for snipers to find a good view from any high ground.
After Chianti and Cohen found their spots, they lay there waiting.
Gin sat in his own exclusive car, holding the walkie-talkie, arranged the seats of the peripheral members, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Vodka asked, "Brother, how long do we have to wait?"
"Twelve o'clock. Wait until there's chaos inside and then send people in." Gin said.
"yes."
Time passed little by little, and at eleven o'clock, Takayama Takashi had Conan Edogawa taken to an empty room and stuffed the box containing the ruby into his arms.
He said sinisterly, "Little brother, protect this gem. If Kidd steals it, you will never see your parents again."
Conan Edogawa never expected that the Takayama team had not prepared any protective measures, not even a tempered glass protective cover.
He looked at the burly men standing in every corner of the room and wondered: Could it be that the Takayama Group was thinking they could capture Kidd with just these guys? Was that too naive?
Isn't this for Kidd to steal?
But he was still a child, so he could only show a pitiful expression and say, "Okay..."
Ran Mori, Kogoro Mori and Heiji Hattori were arranged outside the gate.
Kumamoto Zhiming said: "If Kaito Kidd leaves from here, please help stop him. You don't want to stay in the Takayama Group forever, right?"
Mao Lilan clenched her fists and said with a grin, "No problem." Judging from her expression, it looked like she was going to beat up Kumamoto Tomoaki.
Kumamoto Zhiming didn't care. There were more than just the three of them at the door, there were other strong team members.
Maori Kogoro leaned close to Hattori Heiji's ear and asked, "Hey, the little brat is in the house now. How are we going to run away then?"
Hattori Heiji rubbed his ears and whispered back, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll open the door and yell 'Where are you running, Kid?' Then I'll rush in, and the group of people outside will probably follow me. I'll take advantage of the chaos to pull Conan out, and then I can run away."
Maori Kogoro looked at him questioningly: "Will it be so smooth?"
Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "I will!"
