Chapter 13231 [Hateful Scumbag]
However, a few high school students were not very interested in the "Egg of Memories" and still remembered the story of Kidd.
Hattori Heiji glanced at the guests in front of him, fixed his eyes on the photographer, Ryu Kamikawa, and suddenly said, "You seem to be very indifferent. You are so relaxed, aren't you worried that your treasure will fall into the hands of others?"
After saying that, he waited for Jiang Xia to come up with a wonderful assist, such as "If he were Kidd, of course he wouldn't have to worry about this kind of problem."
However, when he glanced over there, he saw Jiang Xia completely ignoring Kidd and the guests, and was actually staring into the air.
Hattori Heiji's forehead jumped: "..." How low is your interest in Phantom Thieves! How are Phantom Thieves inferior to those murder cases! !
——Although I was glad that Jiang Xia didn't suddenly reveal the plot, Hattori Heiji always felt awkward when there was really one less competitor.
Fortunately, the photographer was considerate and did not ignore this sentence.
Facing Hattori Heiji's probing, he sneered: "Why can't I stay out of it? I only have 200 million in savings, and I can just look at the photos of the 800 million items. What else can I do? - Even if I'm as anxious as the lady next to me, it's useless."
Pu Siqinglan was suddenly called by him and her face looked unhappy.
However, based on her current observations, the Suzuki family has completely entrusted the protection of the "Egg of Memories" to the police and detectives, and has not hired any private protection forces.
Even the act of "hiring a detective" itself seemed a bit joking: rather than asking a detective to protect the Egg of Memory, it was more like Chairman Suzuki asking his daughter to invite her friends over to play, an ordinary social activity.
Pu Siqinglan: “…” That is to say, Chairman Suzuki doesn’t care much about the “Egg of Memories”.
With such a frivolous attitude, if Jiang Xia could lend her the egg to play with for a while, she might find a chance to take it away directly - although she had already thought about looking for Kidd to retaliate against her afterwards. But after all, she had never come into contact with this thief before, so she was not very sure.
Pu Siqinglan quickly calmed down, sighed, and said sadly: "It's really useless. I can't get 800 million. It seems that I will not be able to get the 'Egg of Memory' today."
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xia awkwardly.
When their eyes met, Jiang Xia came back to his senses and comforted her with a line that Kinoshita Yoko said in a TV series a few days ago: "It's okay, just watch it a few more times and remember it, let it live in your heart - some love is not about possession, but protection."
Xiaobai clapped his hands excitedly and waved the cheerleading ball he had just made with murderous aura.
On the other side, Pu Siqinglan didn't know how to appreciate it. Her forehead jumped: "..." Then why don't you lend it to me! He can only talk nonsense, he is really a scumbag! If the police hadn't arrived too quickly last night, he should have been shot to death.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but get angry.
But at this moment, she could only maintain a ladylike smile, as if Jiang Xia had just said something very wise: "Yes. I understand. Thank you."
…
The ambassador and the art dealer started arguing, and someone was taking pictures nearby. Among the four guests, only the female scholar looked presentable.
Chairman Suzuki couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He sighed and waved his hand to send the guest away:
"As for the ownership of the 'Egg of Memories', we'll talk about it later. I have no intention of transferring it for now. And after tonight, it might belong to Kidd."
Gan Jiangyi snorted in his heart: Kidd would basically return everything he stole. Didn't he think he didn't know?
However, the ambassador next to him might not know about this. He could pretend to leave first, trick the ambassador away, and then find an opportunity to discuss this matter alone.
Several people in society, each with their own ideas, stood up one after another and said goodbye to Chairman Suzuki.
When the three men were leaving, the secretary who had just picked up the high school students came in.
Seeing that there were guests, Secretary Nishino stopped by and waited for them to pass first.
The photographer held up his camera and did not stop taking pictures as he left. When he was leaving, he suddenly saw the secretary's face in the camera and froze.
After a moment, the man actually put down the camera and ran away in small steps as if he was afraid.
Secretary Nishino glanced at him without any expression.
He walked into the reception room holding the one-foot-tall wooden box in his hand and said with a gentle smile, "Chairman, I brought the things."
"Well, OK." Chairman Suzuki nodded, "Put it on the table."
…
What is contained in the box is the "Egg of Memories" that has attracted much attention from all parties.
Pu Siqinglan's gaze fell on it, and her eyes lit up silently.
She had misjudged Jiang Xia's character, which made "manipulating the detective" more difficult than she had imagined. But now it seemed that her decision was right - she was right to follow Jiang Xia closely and make good use of this relationship.
For example, now, she has successfully come into contact with this secret treasure.
Although there is still a long way to go before "getting it", this is at least a good start. And as an avid fan of the Romanov dynasty, Scoobing really likes all treasures related to it, otherwise he would not have committed crimes one after another.
…
Chairman Suzuki came to the table, glanced at the scholar who was mixed in with the high school students, and didn't pay much attention.
In fact, even for the "Egg of Memories" itself, he couldn't be said to care that much.
The "Egg of Memories" was previously just one of the countless collections of the Suzuki family. Due to its plain appearance, it was not even worthy of being used as a decorative object and had been gathering dust in the warehouse.
It was not until a while ago, when the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art opened and Shiro Suzuki was thinking about what to use as the facade, that he remembered the egg in the warehouse.
——After I cleaned it up and took a look, I found that it was actually quite beautiful, with a unique mechanism, and it was both beautiful and interesting.
Most importantly, the "Egg of Memories" has been quietly staying in his warehouse. In other words, it has never appeared on the market in recent years. It is very unique and cannot be compared with those auction items that can be bought with money. It is just right to use it as a promotion.
In addition to the "Egg of Memories", Shiro Suzuki actually has quite a few alternative exhibits.
But soon after the news was released, Kid announced that he had set his sights on the "Egg of Memories", and the police also took it very seriously. In this situation, Suzuki Shiro couldn't just let it go, so he politely gave Kid and the police some face, and kept the Egg of Memories in a safe, taking it out like a treasure when needed.
Now that his daughter's classmates have come here, Shiro Suzuki has nothing good to entertain them with, so he simply takes out this "mysterious treasure" for them to play with.
