Chapter 1376 1384 [I object]
Looking closely, I saw that the old man with white hair and beard had changed into light clothes and was carrying a huge travel bag on his back.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the art dealer curiously: "Why did you bring so many things? We are not going camping."
The art dealer suddenly felt guilty when someone was staring at his bag. This time, he planned to find an opportunity to take the "Egg of Memory" for himself. In fact, his bag was filled with a full set of thief equipment.
But at this time, being thin-skinned means losing.
The art dealer cleared his throat and said, "Oh, kid, you underestimate treasure hunting, especially in an old castle like this. If you finally find the place but can't unlock the mechanism because you don't have all the tools, that would be the most frustrating thing."
He patted his bag and said, "I have everything here. Now, stop wasting time outside and go into the castle first."
…
A group of people were discussing the art dealer's backpack.
In the distance, at the foot of the mountain several thousand meters away.
A black car was parked here quietly.
Vodka carefully observed the surroundings, opened his laptop, and looked at the intersection surveillance he had just hacked into: "Brother, the car that just passed by was the last one. There should be no more cars behind."
Gin withdrew his gaze from checking the mailbox and nodded: "Go up the mountain, don't get too close."
Vodka responded and stepped on the accelerator.
The vehicle started quickly and drove silently to the top of the mountain.
Soon, a magnificent castle appeared in front of them. Vodka couldn't help but praise it: "This castle may be more valuable than the 'Scottsman'."
Gin glanced at the castle and saw that it was indeed quite nice, so he raised his head and took a closer look.
Of course, admiring it is just as much as I appreciate it, but I also can't forget to refute my stupid idea: "It's hard to deal with big items that are hard to sell, not to mention that this castle is often on TV and is quite well-known. Even if we find a way to get it under the name of an organization, the annual maintenance fee is a huge sum. Instead of using it for revenue, it's better to simply invest in a company." Then get rid of the opponent.
Thinking of the treasure trove that was about to be added to the account, he sneered in a good mood: "Comparatively, the treasure trove of Scott Bing is much easier to sell. She looks like a lone ranger, unable to find anyone to carry heavy things, and has been busy for so many years, so she must have accumulated a lot of inventory."
"It's really exciting." Vodka agreed, and was suddenly stunned, feeling that he had discovered a blind spot.
He said carefully, "Since we already know who Shi Kaobing is, why don't we find an opportunity to capture her and interrogate her?"
...This way you don't have to follow Wuzo all the time, and you don't have to worry about Wuzo suddenly getting tired of playing with Scoobing, or thinking that this bandit is not strong enough, and suddenly turning his fire to nearby colleagues.
Gin was silent for a while. He lit a cigarette and took a silent puff: "..." At first, only Wu Zuo had heard the true identity of "Scooping" from Anonymous. Wu Zuo said that he would handle the matter, so he naturally handed it over to him... Who knows why it slowly turned out like this.
Now that they have come to this ancient castle which is said to "hide treasures", not to mention Uzo, he himself has become interested.
If we interrupt the exploration process now in order to capture the Shi Kaobing... Wuzo, who has always had a good mission completion rate, might become an obstacle to the mission, which would not be worth the loss.
Gin: "..." Anyway, now that we have arrived at the final destination, we can't play for long. Besides, in a sense, Uzo values efficiency more than him. Maybe Uzo does this because he has a reason to do so.
After thinking for a while, Gin felt that everything was under control, and said calmly: "Scoop only stole the treasures of the Romanov dynasty, and every time he killed someone, he only shot the right eye, even on the yacht. She is a person of persistence and faith. She may not tell you if you ask her directly. Even if you use truth serum, if she suddenly commits suicide before that, the treasure will be buried with her. Uzo probably guessed this situation and has his own way."
Vodka suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
How could he forget to consider Shi Kaobing's personality? It turns out that the eldest brother is the one who thinks things through!
...What? This is actually what Uzo was thinking?
Oh! Uzo wouldn't worry so much.
Vodka: “…” Uzo probably just thought it was fun, so he didn’t want to catch anyone directly, but played with Scoobing like a toy… He criticized this alternative water-slipper in his heart, but on the surface he could only put aside all his prejudices and drove silently.
…
As the black vehicle continued to approach the top of the mountain.
In front of the castle on the top of the mountain, Conan suddenly felt a chill. His relaxed expression as he looked at the castle gradually became solemn.
Jiang Xia put down his phone and looked at him, thinking that Kudo's organizational radar seemed to be no weaker than that of Haibara Ai.
He curiously checked the radar quality: "What's wrong?"
Conan glanced at the people around him and whispered to Jiang Xia, "We have to be careful. No one can guarantee that Scott has escaped on the lifeboat. I have a feeling that he might still be on the boat, or even among us. Look - the bag of the art dealer, it's obvious that it can hold a lot of guns and ammunition."
Jiang Xia: “…” Well, the radar is very sensitive, but the pointing seems not accurate enough.
He nodded in agreement.
Conan raised his head and saw Jiang Xia’s thoughtful expression, and felt relieved: it seemed that Jiang Xia thought so too.
As long as we are prepared, the Shi Kaobing troops will not be able to cause much trouble.
…
When everyone arrived, the old butler opened the door.
The group quickly entered the castle.
The hall was spacious and luxurious, with stone sculptures several people high on both sides. The door and French windows were hollowed out, letting in plenty of light. The castle was not as gloomy as everyone imagined, but was as sunny as its appearance.
The butler looked at the passages on both sides and was a little confused: the castle was so big, where should he take them to hunt for treasure first? He had been here for many years, and although he knew that there were many mechanisms in the castle, it seemed that none of them were related to the "Egg of Memory".
“Wow, so many artworks!”
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were not worried about the treasure hunt at all - after all, Jiang Xia was there with them, and they had already laid down their minds and focused on "solving the puzzle".
The two of them were more like visiting an exhibition hall at this moment, and the things here were all rare goods that had not yet been released to the market. Many of them were even handmade by Kosaka Natsumi's great-grandfather, and were one-of-a-kind.
The old butler saw their fascinated expressions and felt proud. He thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't know where to start, I'll take you on a casual tour. Maybe you'll get some inspiration while you're walking around."
