Generally speaking, no one will continue to work during a power outage, and in fact, many jobs cannot be done during a power outage. Moreover, a murder case just happened during the power outage, which left a deep psychological shadow on people, and they were afraid of any more accidents.

As a result, almost everyone evacuated, including those who had offices on the second floor of the exhibition hall.

Jiang Lai turned off the flashlight on his phone and adjusted his eyes to the darkness in front of him. Kuroba Kaito and Conan also walked forward in silence. They walked close to the wall, careful not to collide with those who were retreating.

Although there was a major power outage, fortunately the green light on the emergency sign was still on, guiding the direction, allowing Jiang Lai and the others to climb smoothly and silently to the second floor and reach the person in charge's office.

The place is now empty and the door is closed. The person in charge must have remembered to lock the door tightly before evacuating.

Another advantage of the blackout is that there is no need to worry about the alarm system and the monitoring system. Hei Yu Kaidou can just pick the lock directly. Jiang Lai stood in the back and watched the thief in front of him, who was essentially a high school student, skillfully pry open the lock, and everything was unimpeded.

Jiang Lai: So, the best way to defend Kidd is to hang a string of fish.

——Deploy the Fish Protection Array!! (Kuroba Kaito: Are you polite?)

The lock on the door was removed, and Hei Yu Kaidou tentatively kicked the door open with his foot. After confirming that nothing unexpected had occurred, he pushed the door open with his white-gloved hand.

The room looked like a normal office, with a dark wooden desk and ornamental green plants on it. Moonlight shone through the window into the room, bringing a little light. Files and books were piled up on the desk in a slightly messy manner, but there didn't seem to be anything unusual.

Without saying a word, the three of them separated and searched in tacit understanding. They knew that time was limited, so they all sped up.

Jiang Lai always felt that there must be some mechanism in the bookcase. After all, that's how it was played in TV dramas. So he devoted himself to searching the secret compartment in the bookcase.

Conan used his child's body to search lower places. He searched all the places that looked like they could be hidden, such as drawers, behind potted plants, and under computer desks, but there was no trace of the ruby.

The detective let out a breath and began to think carefully.

It is impossible for him to take it with him, it must be in this room, so where could it be hidden... He glanced around the room casually and landed on a painting by the window.

Hanging on the wall is a still life painting, which depicts a row of purple and red grapes in a staggered arrangement, which makes people's appetite grow. Bathed in the moonlight, there is an inexplicable attraction that makes Conan's eyes fixed on it.

Kuroba Kaito noticed Conan's gaze. At that moment, Conan was standing next to the painting. He fixed his eyes on it and then said "Huh" softly.

The frame of this painting was particularly thick, and Kuroba Kaito felt its heavy weight when he took it off. Without much hesitation, he quickly and carefully pulled out the still life painting, and then he saw the red gem hidden in the frame and under the painting!

The bright and charming Rossiya ruby ​​is here!

The next second after Heiyu Kuaidou saw the gem, he picked up the gem with one hand and quickly lifted up the wooden picture frame with the other hand to block the anesthetic needle that was shot at him in the dark night!

"Oh my, it's too fast to move to the next step." Kuroba Kaito said with a smile, looking at Conan who was about to attack, "You turned into an enemy in a second?"

Before Conan could reply, he heard a deep, joyful voice from behind him: "Yes, you become an enemy in a second." Then, the opponent's big hand grabbed Conan and put a shiny knife against his neck.

Conan: “!!” Oops, I forgot about this guy!!

Just now, when he saw Kidd find the gem, he subconsciously used anesthesia on Kidd, hoping to catch him. However, he forgot that there were not only him and Kidd present, but also an unknown guy in Jiang Lai's disguise!

Kuroba Kaito's expression suddenly became serious.

"Mr. Kudo... or more precisely, Mr. Kidd? Oh, don't be surprised. After all, Kudo is dead. If you pretend to be dead, people will be able to guess who you are at a glance." Jiang Lai tilted his head slightly and said, "Give me the gem."

Conan: "!" The other party thought Kudo Shinichi was dead, could he be a member of the organization! ?

"Who are you?" Hei Yu Kaidou asked in a deep voice.

"Well, at least there won't be too much conflict with you." Jiang Lai smiled, "Lend me the gem for a while, and I'll return it to you right away." His knife was placed on Conan's neck, like a threat.

"..." Kuroba Kaito looked at the captured Conan, and saw the little detective squeezed his eyes at him suggestively, and he understood something in his heart.

"Okay." Then, Kuroba Kaito nodded in agreement. He carefully placed the picture frame and gems on the ground and half-knelt down.

The next second, the poker cards came with a sharp wind! At the same time, Conan dodged the knife and used all his strength to bend Jiang Lai's finger, causing him to instinctively let go of him in pain!

Jiang Lai took a few steps back diagonally, and the sharp poker card just brushed past his cheek, cutting off a few strands of hair. His cheek was scratched but there was no bleeding.

——Not bad, just right. Jiang Lai gave a thumbs up to the cooperation between Kid and Conan in his heart. Next, he can take off the mask!

When the double-layer disguise was made, the inner layer of Jianglai was made of special, non-tough lambskin, and the outer layer was covered with easily damaged Jianglai leather. This ensures that when poker is rubbed on the face, only the outer layer of fake Jianglai leather will be broken.

Hei Yu Kuai Dou raised his poker gun again and pointed it at the black-haired young man in front of him: "I say, you bastard, you can take off that fake skin on your face now!"

——Finally, he was going to peel off his opponent's skin and see his true self! Kuroba Kuaito was feeling nervous and excited.

The damaged disguise skin was torn even more by the evening breeze, and it seemed to be about to fall off. The other party chuckled and did not insist on this face anymore. Instead, he took off his outer shell in a casual manner, revealing his brown curly hair and the face of a little sheep.

"Ah, I underestimated the Thief Kidd~" He said with a smile, looking at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, but he didn't feel nervous at all, "I didn't expect your poker gun to be so powerful, huh, so magical, isn't a gun that shoots high-speed poker very valuable?"

A strange face, a strange habit! Conan looked at the other person's slightly green and immature face. This person should be a high school student, not an adult! ! Does the organization not even let minors go?

When Kuroba Kaito saw the other person's young face, he was also slightly stunned.

"You..." Hei Yu Kaidou did not let down his guard. He asked first, "Where is the real Jiang Lai?"

"What do you think?" The little sheep kept smiling, "Maybe he's dying soon."

"What!" Conan couldn't help but lose his voice. He stared at the person in front of him, "This is a crime!"

"Of course it's a crime~" The little sheep looked at them with strange eyes, "But isn't stealing gems also a crime?"

Before the two could say anything, he shook his fingers and said, "If you had acted faster, the young man named Jiang Lai wouldn't have died~"

"Where is he? What did you do to him?" Conan's sapphire eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.

"I don't want to trade with nothing." The little sheep showed a playful smile, "Hurry up, let me use the gems, and I will return them to you after I complete the task."

"..." Hei Yu Kai Dou did not put down his poker gun. He stared at the little sheep with sharp eyes. "We can't guarantee that you will tell the truth."

"Don't worry, we always do business with integrity. Only in this way can our business last." The other party still used a strange suffix and said cruel words in a smiling voice, "What is more important, human life or gems?"

"..." Not knowing whether the person in front of him had any tricks up his sleeve, Heiyu Kuaidou didn't dare to act rashly.

He actually had a fake gem in his pocket, which he had intended to use to confuse the security personnel tonight. Now it was of some use. He could throw two gems at the same time, and when the other party was stunned and raised his hand to catch the two gems, he could shoot him and quickly subdue him! Once he caught the other party, he could ask about Jiang Lai's whereabouts!

Kuroba Kaito was thinking in his mind, but he looked up and replied, "...Okay, tell us where Jiang Lai is, and I'll throw the gem to you."

"No problem." The little sheep nodded and stretched out his hand. "Mei, throw it over first~"

Hei Yu’s technique was very smooth. He threw the two beautiful rubies into the air gracefully, and they drew a perfect arc in the air.

Jiang Lai's warm brown eyes reflected the two rubies in the air, one of which was even more charming and dazzling in the moonlight, just as the legend said, with an eye-catching attraction. He raised his lips, raised his hand to hold the other ruby, and at the same time blocked it with his arm, and bounced the unique and charming real Rossiya ruby ​​out of the window!

Kuroba Kaito: “??!”

The shocked Mr. Thief forgot to shoot his poker for a moment!

He thought that the other party would hesitate for a moment after catching both rubies at the same time, but he never expected that the other party would catch only one ruby ​​without hesitation and throw the other ruby ​​away! !

In such a short time, it is impossible to tell the real thing from the fake one! However, according to the order that Kuroba Kaito memorized, the one that was ejected... seems to be the real Rossia Ruby!!

Kuroba Kaito's expression froze for a moment.

Jiang Lai: Actually I figured it out hhh, I just got the fake gem on purpose! Goodbye real gem, we are destined to never meet again~

Rossiya Ruby: Don’t I want to save face? ?

The author has something to say: Jiang Lai: To achieve success, I will take myself as a hostage!
