After that, Fangzheng finally had a few days of leisure. The Shimori sisters soon came to report. Just as Fangzheng expected, the Yori Hotel would not be able to open for business for a while after the incident. All the staff had been dismissed. As for the Shimori Shinobu, she seemed to have gone to a nearby hotel to continue working as a chef.
The sisters, on the other hand, were very miserable. After all, people would look at their resumes when applying for a job. If they saw that you were a dead person wherever you went, they would definitely not hire you.
So the sisters had no choice but to report to Fangzheng.
Speaking of which, Fangzheng was also very curious. If Kudo Shinichi did not shrink, he would still be a high school student. After he graduated, which place would dare to hire him?
Could it be that he wanted to learn from Kogoro and open a Kudo Shinichi Detective Agency or something?
By the way, on the third day after Fangzheng returned from the plateau with Asahara, they started classes.
Although it was not wrong to start classes right after the summer vacation, it was only a week of summer vacation before school reopened. Forget it. Since they did not care, Fangzheng pretended not to see it.
He was not the one who had to do summer homework anyway.
However, the good times did not last long. Before Fangzheng could enjoy a few days of comfort, trouble came to him again.
This time, he had to go because the trouble this time was sent by the Metropolitan Police Department!
As the creator of the Skynet system, Fangzheng was also a famous microexpression expert and special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department. He had solved many major cases in a row. If it were not for the fact that Fangzheng was not a member of the system, he would have been promoted several times by now. This time, the police had an important case to solve, so they had to send all kinds of elite officers to join in. As a special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, Fangzheng was naturally among them.
This was the Strange Thief Kid!
The Strange Thief Kid …
Sitting in the crowd, Fangzheng looked disinterested as he watched the Nakamori Police Force read the Monster Thief Kidd's notice letter in high spirits. Fangzheng was not interested in catching the Monster Thief, Kidd. After all, Kidd did not steal from him. Moreover, he was different from other rich people. Fangzheng was not willing to collect art or jewelry.
If he wanted to collect it, he might as well go to Akihabara and buy the limited edition figurine. That was worth more, and even the Rogue Kid couldn't steal it …
Fangzheng was quite familiar with the plot of this case. This was a very famous theatrical version of Detective Conan. It was the first appearance of the thief Kidd — The Magician at the End of the Century.
It had to be said that Fangzheng had watched this theatrical version many times. It was quite interesting to watch. Whether it was the decryption of the treasure hunt, the notice letter of the thief Kidd, or the mole of the international wanted criminal Shi Kaobing, they all had the style of a blockbuster in the theatrical version. Frankly speaking, the early theatrical version of Detective Conan was quite entertaining.
In fact, the content of the case was quite simple. The Strange Thief Kidd took a fancy to a Memory Egg from the Tsar period that the Suzuki Consortium was about to display in the Osaka Art Museum, so he sent a notice letter to steal it. Then, an international hitman, Shi Kaobing, who specialized in collecting relics from the Tsar period, was involved. In the end, the team followed the clues hidden in the Memory Egg and successfully found another egg … and also caught the international hitman Shi Kaobing.
Well … the process was actually very simple, but Fangzheng remembered very clearly that in this theatrical version, Detective Conan almost admitted his identity to Xiao Lan for the first time.
Of course, because it was a theatrical version, the ending would definitely not be Detective Conan admitting his identity. After all, he still had to consider the television audience.
But now that he was in the real world, Fangzheng did not think so much.
With such a good opportunity, why not just expose Detective Conan's identity and be done with it?
Fangzheng did not care about the thoughts of the Nakamori Police Department. After all, the Nakamori Police Department was just a police officer. They could only solve problems by police means. But for Fangzheng, he had many ways to solve problems ….
So after the meeting, Fangzheng flew directly to Osaka with Grieve.
But for Grieve ….
"Why did you bring me along?"
"Mouri Kogoro wants to bring Detective Conan, so I have to bring you along. That's what you call an equal relationship."
"What kind of equal relationship is that …."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Grieve rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"What's the matter? It's much more convenient to have an assistant. Besides, people generally won't be on guard against children. You see, Detective Conan acts cute all day long. He's experienced, isn't he?"
"Hmm …. That's true …."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Little Grief couldn't help but smile. This wasn't the first time she had seen Conan act cute and ask others, "Uncle, what happened that day?" Of course, on the surface, it didn't look like a problem, but when she thought about how the child's body was that of a high school detective, Little Grief felt like laughing.
"Don't tell me you want me to learn from him."
With this in mind, Xiao Ai glared at Fangzheng coldly again. It was interesting to watch others play this kind of thing, but it would be stupid to do it herself.
"Of course not."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"Detective Conan is an idiot, but you're not. You can just debut as a genius girl. You're very smart anyway, aren't you? People are very forgiving of geniuses — so it serves Conan right to be killed by himself. "
"That's true."
Hearing that she did not have to act cute like Detective Conan, Grieve calmed down. She analyzed the situation and found that it was indeed interesting. After all, Conan played the role of an innocent child in front of others, so every time he caused trouble, it was very embarrassing. But she was a genius girl. She realized that saying anything would not destroy her image. Instead, it would increase the trust of others in her image, wouldn't it?
Hmm …. Thinking of this, Grieve suddenly wanted to see if Detective Conan would be so depressed that he would run into a wall when he found out about this ….
That would be much more interesting.
"So, do you have a way to catch Kidd the Monster Thief?"
With this in mind, Little Grief reined in her thoughts and looked at Fangzheng. She had seen Detective Conan gnashing his teeth at Kidd in school. He could not wait to arrest him with his own hands. But Fangzheng did not seem to be interested in this matter. On the contrary, on the plane to Osaka, he spent most of his time thinking about where to go and what to eat ….
"No, not interested."
Fangzheng shook his head decisively.
"I'm a special consultant, but I'm not a police officer, nor am I a paranoid detective with a strong sense of justice like Detective Conan. Kidd the Monster Thief didn't steal from me, so I don't care if he lives or dies. This time, I'm here mainly for sightseeing. At the same time, I just need to protect Monster Thief Gid's Egg of Memory.
"But Kidd the Monster Thief is determined to get that egg, right?"
"Of course, so I have my own ways."
While they were talking, an amiable-looking old man walked into the room with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Fangzheng, welcome."
"Hello, President Suzuki."
Seeing the old man in front of him, Fangzheng also stood up and nodded.
"I'm sorry to bother you despite your busy schedule."
"You're welcome. It's about that, right?"
"Yes."
"Got it."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, President Suzuki nodded, then looked at Grieve curiously.
"This is …."
"Her name is Asahara Grieve, my cute little assistant."
While saying that, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and patted Grieve's head.
"Please don't underestimate her. She's a genius girl who has already completed a PhD from the University of Edinburgh."
"Oh, really? That's really surprising. It seems that Mr. Fangzheng, you've got a pretty good assistant. "
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, President Suzuki smiled and made a gesture. Then, Fangzheng walked into the study with Grieve. Then, Fangzheng put the paper bag in his hand on the desk and took out a well-wrapped gift box.
"Oh, this is it?"
"Yes, it should be enough for you."
"Hehehe, thank you in advance."
After taking the box from Fangzheng, President Suzuki opened it and glanced inside. He showed a slightly surprised expression, but he quickly nodded.
"I didn't expect …. Well, I'll have to trouble you, Fangzheng -san."
While saying that, President Suzuki took out a wooden box about the size of the gift box Fangzheng gave him and handed it to Fangzheng.
"Okay, leave it to me. No problem."
Fangzheng casually took the wooden box and stuffed it into the paper bag. Without even taking a look, he nodded at President Suzuki.
"Then I'll take my leave."
"You're not staying? My daughter and Mr. Mori should be here soon. "
"I'm not interested in this kind of occasion. I'd better take Grieve to Osaka first. I heard there are a lot of delicious and fun places here. Maybe we can find something interesting."
"That's true. You young people should go out more."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's answer, President Suzuki chuckled.
"Then I wish you a good time."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Fangzheng nodded slightly, then turned around and left the Suzuki Financial Group's building. He got into the car with Grieve, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away ….
Grieve looked at the paper bag in Fangzheng's hand. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she looked ahead.
"So, where are we going next?"
"Let's find a place to buy some local specialties for Ming Mei first."
Fangzheng glanced at the map, then turned on the steering wheel.
"I don't want her to complain that we didn't buy anything good for her when we went out to play."
So, Fangzheng and Grieve entered into tour mode. They ate, bought, and played along the way. Grieve was having a great time. After all, there was no limit to how much money she could spend with Fangzheng. She could buy whatever she saw. They stuffed everything they bought into the car, including cosmetics, clothes, and local specialties. In addition to the gift from Miyano Akemi, the Shimasato sisters naturally had something too. So, the two of them bought things as they walked. Soon, the whole car was filled to the brim.
When Fangzheng drove to the heavily guarded Suzuki Modern Art Museum with Grieve, it was already seven o 'clock in the evening. According to the unreliable reasoning of the Nakamori Police Department, Kid would appear at three o 'clock in the morning to steal the Egg of Memories. Therefore, the Suzuki Art Museum was currently heavily guarded. Not only were there riot police, but there were also helicopters patrolling the air.
The security seemed even tighter than when a national leader visited.
When Fangzheng drove to the entrance of the art museum, he saw a woman in a business suit talking to a man in a blue suit.
If Fangzheng remembered correctly, the man in the blue suit should be President Suzuki's secretary, Zhenren Nishino ….
"Mr. Nishino, what are you doing here?"
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng stopped the car and rolled down the window to look at the two. Zhenren Nishino breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fangzheng.
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, this lady wants to see President Suzuki, but President Suzuki is not here at the moment …."
"Hello, my name is Natsumi Kasaka."
The woman in front of him also bowed respectfully at Fangzheng. She was a beautiful woman with a rather elegant bearing. She had slightly curly brown hair and beautiful gray eyes. She looked rather gentle and virtuous.
"What's the matter, Miss Kasaka?"
"It's like this."
While speaking, Natsumi Kasaka took out the brochure about the Suzuki Modern Art Museum.
"There are some things I want to explain to President Suzuki about this brochure."
"I'm sorry, but the president is not here at the moment."
Nishino's secretary smiled helplessly.
"If possible, can you tell me about it?"
"Yes, I want to say that the description of the Egg of Memories in this brochure is wrong. It's completely different from the painting left by my great-grandfather …."
"This …."
"Mr. Nishino, leave it to me."
Seeing Nishino's secretary reveal a troubled expression, Fangzheng quickly took over. Then he turned his head and looked at Natsumi Kōban.
"Miss Kasaka, if you don't mind, please get in the car."
"Ah …. Okay."
Hearing Fangzheng's invitation, Natsumi Kasaka nodded and got into Fangzheng's car. Fangzheng drove the car into the art museum and stopped at a corner of the parking lot.
"I'm sorry, Miss Kasaka. You've come at a bad time today. I don't know if you've heard from the media that Kid plans to steal the Egg of Memories tonight."
"Huh? There's such a thing? "
Natsumi Kasaka was taken aback when she heard this.
"I'm very sorry, I don't know much about the situation. I just saw that brochure, so I hurried back to China …. In fact, before this, I've been working as a pastry chef in Paris."
"I see."
Fangzheng nodded. Of course, he knew about Natsumi Kasaka, but seeing her in an anime and seeing her in real life were two completely different things. How should he put it …. As expected of a character with the best looks in the Detective Conan movie. Every move she made exuded the noble temperament of a royal family. She was also very kind and enthusiastic. She gave people the feeling that a princess from a fairy tale had come to life.
To be honest, it was impossible to tell that Natsumi Kasaka was 27 years old just by looking at her appearance.
"So that's it. You can't meet the president today, but if you have time, I can arrange a meeting with President Suzuki tomorrow."
"Thank you very much. May I ask …."
"Fangzheng, I'm the president of Umbrella Corporation and a special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department."
That's right. After Fangzheng acquired the police company in the world of Detective Conan, he changed its name to Umbrella Corporation, and its logo was the same red and white umbrella as in Resident Evil. Of course, he did not forget to add "Umbrella, Protect Your Family" outside the logo.
Look, it's so fitting!
The Black Man Organization is awesome, right? I'll use my umbrella to kill you!
Let's see whose villain aura is stronger.
At that moment, Fangzheng also saw Conan and Hattori leaving the art gallery in a hurry. Just like in the plot, they also discovered that the time stated in Kid's notice letter was not three o 'clock in the morning as the Nakamori Police Department thought, but seven twenty in the evening.
"Whoosh!!"
However, at this moment, along with the colorful brilliance, fireworks suddenly shot into the sky, bursting into dazzling blossoms of colors.
"What's this ….?"
Seeing the beautiful fireworks, Natsuya Kanaka and Agony, who got out of the car, looked up at the sky in surprise. But before they could recover from their shock, the whole city suddenly turned dark.
Ahh … .it's finally starting.
Looking at the dark city, Fangzheng yawned. In the anime, to prevent Kid from stealing the Egg of Memories from the art gallery, the Nakamori Police Department took the Egg of Memories to a place only he and his two subordinates knew. Unexpectedly, Kid had already stolen this information. By cutting off the power supply to the whole of Osaka, he successfully found the target. After all, even though the Egg of Memories had to be hidden, once the power supply was lost, the Egg of Memories could not be protected in the dark.
Therefore, the Nakamori Police Department hurriedly turned on the emergency generator to generate electricity, but this in turn allowed Kid to find their location ….
However, Kid, who stole the Egg of Memories, did not end up well. He was shot in the right eye by Shi Kaobing …. That lens must be bulletproof, right? An ordinary person would have died a long time ago if they were shot in the right eye!
But … .forget it. It's just a plot.
Fangzheng stretched and closed his eyes.
Now, it was time to wait for the result.
In fact, an hour later, everyone returned to the art gallery where the power had been restored. The Nakamori Police Department was dejected when he saw President Suzuki.
"I'm really sorry, President Suzuki. I couldn't protect the Egg of Memories."
"Hahaha, Nakamori Police Department, don't worry about it …."
Looking at the gloomy Nakamori Police Department, President Suzuki smiled bitterly. At that moment, the door opened, and Fangzheng walked in with Agony.
"Yo, President Suzuki, we're back."
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, you're back. Did you have a good time?"
"Of course. Osaka is really a lively place. I brought a gift for you, President."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out a wooden box from a paper bag and handed it to President Suzuki.
Seeing this scene, the Nakamori Police Department was furious. He rushed over and grabbed Fangzheng.
"What the hell are you doing here, kid? Everyone's busy arresting Kid, but you still have the leisure to go out and have fun? "
"Okay, okay, Nakamori Police Department, don't be angry. I also got a gift from Mr. Fangzheng."
"But President Suzuki …."
Hearing President Suzuki's words, the Nakamori Police Department turned around and was about to say something, but the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise.
President Suzuki had already opened the box and took out a beautiful, emerald green oval object. It was ….
"Isn't this the Egg of Memories?!"
The Nakamori Police Department was shocked.
"Why is this thing in your hands?"
"Because I've been keeping it for the whole day, Nakamori Police Department."
Looking at the Nakamori police department in front of him, Fangzheng smiled and reached out to press down on his hand.
"The one I gave you to protect is actually just a fake I made out of boredom."
"You, you're saying it's a fake?! You gave me a fake?! "
Hearing this, the Nakamori Police Department was even more furious. Fangzheng just laughed.
"That's right, because I don't think you're a match for Kid."
"You …. You ….!"
The Nakamori Police Department pointed at Fangzheng angrily, but he could not say anything. Facts spoke louder than words. After all, his "carefully arranged" plan this time had completely failed.
"Nakamori Police Department, you've been tracking down Kid, haven't you, but there's been no progress, right? To be honest, I suspect that Kid might have studied you from the inside out. Maybe he can even guess what kind of fart you fart when you raise your butt. So, just in case, I've decided to personally keep the Egg of Memories. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at the Nakamori Police Department.
"Now it seems that my decision was correct."
"Hmph, you make it sound nice, but what if you fail?"
"Haha."
Facing the Nakamori Police Department's question, Fangzheng shrugged.
"It's just 800 million yen, it's not like I can't afford it."
I'm rich and willful, what can you do to me?
"…."
Hearing this, the Nakamori Police Department was completely speechless.
