Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 665 The Phantom Thief Kidd and the Four Famous Paintings

In Okutama, Tokyo, when Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai drove to a two-story villa surrounded by mountains, they found that the front of the villa was already surrounded by reporters, including the most familiar Nikai TV station, and they even drove the OB van to carry out the scene live streaming.

"Hello, Detective Kido!"

"Crack!" Gao Chengcai got out of the car and a group of reporters rushed over. The flashing lights kept flashing, causing a commotion in a small area. The reporters who hadn't reacted were all surprised.

"Quick! It's Kido Takasei!"

"Detective Kido! Will you win this duel with Kidd?"

"Does Detective Kido have confidence?"

"Sorry, let me go!" Gao Cheng managed to get out of the crowd holding Xiao Ai. Not only was he not happy because of being sought after, but he felt quite guilty.

That's right, the reason why he came to the mountains this time was because of Kaitou Kidd, to be precise, because of a notice letter from Kaitou Kidd.

The owner of this villa, a well-known painter who is nearly 60 years old, contacted his Kido Detective Agency in the afternoon after receiving the notice letter yesterday morning.

But to be honest, Gao Cheng really didn't think that Kidd would be interested in the paintings of an old gentleman. He had just let that guy out a few days ago to help Akai Shuichi fake death and escape, and he didn't feel that he had any new goals.

There is a high possibility that someone will impersonate Kidd this time. I don't know the purpose for the time being. In short, it is not a good thing.

Gao Cheng straightened his suit and tie in the flashes of light, and went straight to the stinky Ginzo Nakamori, the father-in-law of the phantom thief Kidd, and arresting Kidd has become an obsession, but sometimes Quite trust Kidd.

I don't know if he has seen through Kidd's identity and is so active in order to protect Kidd...

"Hey!" Nakamori Ginzo's face became even more stinky after seeing Gao Cheng, "This is the scene of Kaitou Kidd's announcement, not the scene of a murder case. Why did that old fox's helper come here?!"

"I was entrusted by Oikawa-san to deal with Kaitou Kid..."

Gao Cheng glanced at the policemen behind Ginzo Nakamori who had their faces severely grabbed.

This guy may not really know Kidd's identity...

"Police officer!" The reporters following Gao Cheng surrounded Nakamori Ginzo, "Is the security here already foolproof?"

"Why did Kidd, who was only targeting gems, start to focus on paintings?"

"There are rumors that the notice letter is fake..."

Ginzo Nakamori raised his brows suppressing his anger: "No comment! Please don't step into the scene, you media! Really, it's you people who make trouble every time..."

"But isn't Mr. Oikawa's new work "Blue Lane" going to be released for the first time in tonight's live TV broadcast?"

The reporters started to discuss: "I heard that the painting has been completed, I just live broadcast the signing process... However, the premise is that the painting is not stolen by Kidd, even if it is Kidou Takasei, the famous detective of Kidd's nemesis, I am afraid It's impossible to guard against..."

"Hey!" Nakamori said with a black face, "You are talking as if our police are air! Listen to me, after 8 o'clock tonight, the forecast time, and until you confirm that the painting is safe and sound, you are not allowed to enter!"

"Hello!"

After dealing with the reporters, Nakamori Ginzo hurried to chase after Gao Cheng.

"Even you could be Kidd!!"

"Officer Nakamori, if that guy really wants to pretend to be me, it won't matter how hard you scratch your face."

"What?" Nakamori looked puzzled.

In the lobby of the villa, Gao Cheng saw the client this time and Chuan Wulai, an old man with a hooked nose and a mustache. He looked like a businessman rather than a master of painting. Seeing Gao After the completion, I was quite enthusiastic.

"This is my assistant Xiao Ai, she is calling you..."

After Gao Cheng introduced Xiao Ai, he looked at Chuan Wulai slightly strangely.

Although it may be that he is too sensitive, few elderly people are so enthusiastic about him, and under normal circumstances, they rarely even consider entrusting him, a young detective who is too young.

In the field of private detectives, older people are more or less popular...

"Then let me lead the way," Ji Chuanwulai invited with a smile, "First go to the studio where "Qing Lan" is displayed..."

"Takerai!" A thin old man with a snow-white thick goatee and squinting eyes like a mouse called Oikawa Takerai, "I have something to tell you..."

"I'm sorry, Dad," Oikawa Takeshi asked, "Can we talk about it later? There are guests here..."

The old gentleman was silent for a while, then nodded and left with his hands behind his back: "Okay."

"He is my father-in-law," Oikawa Takerai looked at the old man's back with some helplessness, and explained to Gao Cheng, "It is also my teacher Kamihara Haruhito, don't look at him like this, he used to be a famous painter famous for landscape paintings , it’s just that the teacher’s hand started to hurt 10 years ago, and now I can’t hold the pen anymore...”

"is it?"

Gao Cheng looked away from the old man, and when he walked through the corridor, he saw a lot of landscape paintings, all signed by Haruhito Kamihara and dated 10 years ago.

The studio is on the second floor, not too big, but very empty. There are two doors and two windows. Apart from the locked cabinet, there are only a few tables and chairs and an easel covered with a white cloth, as well as plaster statues and brushes. Tools and the like, it looks a lot like an art classroom in a school.

Gao Cheng walked to the window where many pen holders were placed, and he could see the Okutama mountains under the night. It was very quiet, except for occasional calls of unknown animals.

This is the back of the villa, and below it is a cliff that is not too high. Five mobile team members stand guard among the rocks below, and the windows are locked. If someone chooses to break through the window, they will be noticed soon.

There were also two police officers guarding the other two doors. The red marks on their faces hadn't disappeared, and they were obviously checked severely.

Ginzo Nakamori has given experience in dealing with Kidd. Although it is not very useful every time, he should be tricked or he will be tricked...

Oikawa Takerai saw Gao Cheng looking at the whole studio, and hurriedly explained: "I hold a class here once a week, so there are a lot of things..."

Gao Cheng's gaze stopped on the ceiling directly opposite the easel: "Is that a surveillance camera?"

"Yeah, I installed it after I received the notice letter. You can shoot "Qing Lan" in another room. Do you want to go and see it?"

Oikawa Takerai led the way: "Now the surveillance has been taken over by the police..."

"Wurai..." Old Mr. Shen Yuan stood outside the studio and hurried forward when he saw everyone coming out.

"I see, Dad, I'll tell you later."

In the living room of the villa, Ginzo Nakamori was still vigorously arranging security affairs, with a serious expression.

"Listen! There are only 30 minutes left before the forecast time, and all the staff are on full alert! As long as there is any doubt, no matter how trivial it is, report it to me!"

"Hey, Kido boy, can you stop running around the scene?!" Nakamori Ginzo glared at Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai fiercely, "Do you like bringing children here so much?"

"Officer Nakamori, I just want to get acquainted with the scene quickly..."

Gao Cheng leaned in front of the surveillance camera controlled by the police.

The monitor window is displayed on the desktop of the laptop, and the easel covered with a white cloth can be clearly seen, but there are still many dead spots, and the two doors and windows are in the dead corners.

"Is there only one monitor?"

"Hmph," Nakamori Ginzo said angrily, "I heard that the monitoring system has been installed, but who knows there is only one, and there is no time to prepare...but it is better to have one than none."

"Sorry," Oikawa Takerai apologized, "I didn't make it clear..."

"Mr. Oikawa," Gao Cheng looked away from the surveillance screen, "Can I just take a look around this villa by myself? If it's really Kaitou Kidd, the more you focus on the center, the easier it will be to be misled."

"Okay...Of course it's fine."

Oikawa Takerai was slightly taken aback, and quickly agreed, but the face of Nakamori Ginzo next to him was even darker.

What kind of Kidd nemesis, he Nakamori Ginzo often stops the Kaitou Kidd, it's just that he can't catch anyone every time...
