The little sheep with brown curly hair held the ruby ​​in his hand and said, "The young man named Jiang Lai is in a box in the corner of the garage of a nearby shopping mall."

"You...!" Conan naturally thought that the other party had caught the real gem, so he focused on Jiang Lai, "You are too general!"

"It's already very detailed. If you need further instructions, please pay a small amount." The little sheep's tone sounded very annoying, making the little detective clench his fists.

——This guy!!

I don't know what Jiang Lai's current condition is. If he is put into the box... Is he simply unconscious or seriously injured, or even dead? The detective, who is full of justice, is very worried about Jiang Lai's condition at this time.

Jiang Lai: I am really touched to see that you care about me so much. :-D

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito finally got rid of the shock just now, and he suddenly recalled the other party's self-introduction in his mind.

...Little Sheep? Sheep?! Is it the organization with the animal code name? It seems reasonable to come and steal the gems like this!

Hei Yu's heart suddenly rose.

But the other party also knows about Kudo Shinichi's current situation... Why is this? Which organization does he belong to, or both! ?

Jiang Lai: Tsk! We'll be exhausted if we both work together!

Chaotic information surged in his mind, and Hei Yu Kaidou murmured, "Why did you only catch one gem just now..."

"Eh? Because the two must be one real and one fake - I just need to take the one I need." The other person frowned, his soft hair was blown up by the evening breeze, and his expression was swaying unpredictably in the shadow of the moonlight.

Did the other party recognize the real thing? What does this mean? Is the real purpose to get the fake gem? But why?

Hei Yu Kaidou couldn't help but say, "You don't want the real gem...!" Could it be that he was worried that I would snatch the real gem in the fight, so he just pretended to throw it away and used the fake gem in his hand to confuse me, and then he would pick up the real gem later? This seems to be a very reasonable explanation.

"Meh, what?" Hearing what Hei Yu Kuai Dou said, the other party looked puzzled, "Of course I want real gems, fake gems are not worth much money."

"The one just now was too shiny and looked fake, so I flicked it out." The little sheep with a slightly childish face nodded, "Fakes are always like this, with bright and beautiful packaging to attract people's attention."

Kuroba Kaito was also stunned: "Huh?"

I guess you didn't take the fake gem on purpose, you really made a mistake? !

Or is this just another disguise, trying to make you believe that the one in the other person's hand is the real one, so as to divert attention?

"What you threw was a real gem." Kuroba Kaito revealed the truth expressionlessly, saying that he would not be fooled so easily.

"What?" The little sheep was stunned for a second, "I don't believe it, you are lying!!"

"Rossia rubies are particularly shiny, so they attract people's attention." Kuroba Kaito continued to narrate in a straightforward manner, "Also, when I threw the two just now, I remembered the order. The one that was blocked by your arm was a real gem."

There was an eerie silence for a second.

Then the little sheep took out the small black box from his pocket and said in a fake crying voice: "I don't believe it, are you lying?! What I have in my hand is obviously the real thing! Wuwu... Don't think you can deceive me just because I'm young... Do you think I will look stupid, crawl on the ground and look for gems in a desperate way!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the gem in his hand into the small black box.

Kuroba Kaito: What you threw was the real gem...wait, then the one looking for the gem in a desperate manner is me, isn't that disgusting!

Looking at the other party's expression that seemed to be about to cry at the slightest disagreement, Thief Kidd once again fell into the expression pack of the sublimated thinking of the cosmic cat.

"..." Did the other party really not recognize it, or was he pretending? ! Kuroba Kaito was really confused now.

However, if I really made a mistake, it would be a good thing! The real gem is downstairs. If my memory is correct, there should be a moist, green grassy field under this window, where no one would set foot. I will go and take the real Rossiya Ruby later!

Hei Yu's thoughts raced, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the other party start talking again.

"Woo woo ...

Kuroba Kaito: “???”

"Damn it! I'm still waiting for you to raise the price next time so I can catch you and sell it for money..."

Kuroba Kaito: Why does it sound like raising pigs to fatten them up and then slaughtering them for the New Year? !

The little sheep put his hand into his pocket with a look of reluctance, and the strange thief Kidd immediately got his hair standing on end and became alert! !

"Wait!" Hei Yu Kuai Dou said quickly, changing his tone, "Okay, I admit that I lied to you just now, in order for you to give me the gemstone - in fact, what you have in your hand is the real thing."

Although the thief Kidd had a smile on his face and spoke with clever sincerity, his sapphire eyes were still serious and solemn.

He didn't know whether the brown-haired boy in front of him saw through his true intentions or not, or what he was going to do, but he finally followed the hint given by the other party and said this.

The little sheep stopped his hypocritical crying, blinked his eyes and said, "I knew it! You are really vicious, you thief Kidd...! Don't even think about taking away the real gem from me!" At this time, he took his hand out of his pocket, put on a small headset and turned it on. I don't know who he was contacting.

"...Can you not have this habit?" Hei Yu Kaito felt a headache after hearing this.

"Okay, you give me money?"

"..." Hei Yu Kaidou took a deep breath and decided to get back to the topic. He pointed his poker gun at the opponent and planned to continue the play to the end. "You said that the gem was only lent to you for use. Return it immediately."

Kidd treated it as if it were a real gem.

"Well, that's what I said, but the question of whether to return it or not--" the little sheep laughed, and seemed to hear something from the earphone. He pouted and answered with a twisted voice, "Okay, okay...I'll return it!"

The brown-haired curly boy took the gem out of the small black box. Conan adjusted his glasses and could vaguely see that there was some high-tech structure inside. It was not an ordinary small box.

"I'll give you the gem back. Don't chase me anymore. You have no evidence to arrest me." The little sheep turned the gem around in his hands for a few times before reluctantly throwing it back. "What a waste of money... my little money! Why don't you give me some more money and ask me where the young man named Jiang Lai is?"

"You bastard...!" Conan said through gritted teeth, his sapphire eyes sparkling.

Suddenly, there was a voice of someone talking from outside, and everyone present became alert all of a sudden!

Someone is coming!!

The transaction had to be terminated. Little Sheep pouted: "What? Well, I'll just leave now." He put away his phone in a casual manner, and said with a hint of joking, "See you next time, Mr. Thief. I hope you can keep up the good work and continue to raise the price~"

Kuroba Kaito: ...Don't make it sound like I'm being fattened up for slaughter!

The little sheep was very agile and quick, and quickly slipped out of the main gate. Before Kuroba Kaito and Conan could react, it disappeared, and no one knew which way it left.

Hearing the sound getting closer and closer, Kuroba Kaito knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He quickly pulled out the magic rope, tied one side, and carried Conan down from the second-floor window!

As expected, there was a meadow downstairs. With the help of the moonlight and good luck, the thief Kidd actually saw the ruby ​​half-hidden by the grass at a glance!

——Real Russian Ruby!

No matter how Kuroba Kaito and Conan on the other side dealt with the aftermath, Jiang Lai happily dodged into the darkness, and using the structural diagram that he had long memorized in his mind, he took a hidden outer passage out in the darkness - this outer passage was also cleared and surveyed in advance by Matsuda Jinpei to ensure its safety.

He was still thinking about how to falsify the data. While he was thinking, Kidd suddenly threw a fake gemstone to him. It was like sending a pillow to someone when they were sleepy! Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, and of course he chose the fake gemstone to falsify the data without hesitation - this would be much more realistic than his modification afterwards. After all, who knew whether this little black box had the function of history recording and synchronous transmission.

Although he is a money-grubber, he seems to have some difficulty recognizing gems. This attribute confuses the opposing thief Kidd, who can't tell whether he is acting or being sincere. However, in the end he chooses to go along with this and calls a horse a zebra, admitting that the fake gem is real.

It was at the very end that Jiang Lai turned on the remote headset to contact Vermouth, and she seemed to accidentally hear the last sentence, indicating that she was recording the gem data, and then Kidd asked her to get the gem back.

Contacting Bermode now is very consistent with the process of contacting the superiors after the mission is completed and preparing to receive the next order.

Of course, Vermouth ordered himself not to act rashly, and let the little sheep push all the gemstones to Kidd, and leave after taking the data. Then he could pretend to be wronged and reluctant to return the fake gemstone, leaving only the empty black box with the data recorded.

When Kidd leaves later, he will definitely take the real gem on the ground with him, and in the end, only the real gem will be returned to the exhibition hall. In this way, no one will know that there were two gems, one real and one fake!

Jiang Lai expressed great satisfaction.

Great! Little Sheep and Jiang Lai have completed their tasks successfully!

The only forum that might know the whole story would probably judge it all to be a factional struggle within the winery.

Although he was overjoyed in his heart, on the surface, Jiang Lai still looked like a little lamb, with a listless and aggrieved look, as he met up with the disguised Vermouth and Matsuda Jinpei.

"Wuwu... that's a priceless ruby, and I just gave it away like that, wuwu..." Jiang Lai returned the black box to Bermode and sobbed, "I feel so wronged, I'm so heartbroken!"

"Oh?" Vermouth chuckled, not surprised by the little lamb's behavior. "So what?" The words floated by.

"I was the one who did all the hard work this time... The small amount of money should of course be shared with the hardworking and brave little sheep!" The brown curly-haired boy wiped away the non-existent tears and blinked his eyes and said, "So, give me all the salary for Canadian whiskey!!"

Jinpei Matsuda was suddenly called out: “Huh?”

Author's comments: Matsuda: Although I know that Jiang Lai is acting to fit the character setting... but this character setting is indeed very annoying. :-D
