Chapter 1227: Strategy from the Military Advisor
Led by Jirokichi Suzuki, everyone came to the room where the gems were exhibited.
When they saw the scene inside, they couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.
In the center of the room, there was a huge rectangular ice block, and the pink fairy lips were frozen in the middle of the ice.
The Fairy Lips is a pink gem, set on a finger ring to make a ring, reflecting a mesmerizing glow under the light.
Conan was also surprised by this move, and said with his eyes half-mooned, "I see, is this the preparation?"
Freeze the gemstones in ice so you can admire them from different angles.
Nakamori Ginzo said disdainfully, "Isn't this just a block of ice? It will melt if you heat it, right? And you can even drill a hole in it with an electric drill. How can that be considered complete preparation?"
In his eyes, ice is not a good protective measure. Not only can it be easily melted, it is also not strong enough. Anyone with an electric drill can make a hole in it and take out the gems.
Suzuki Jirokichi said proudly, "Don't worry about that. Even with a flamethrower, it would take quite a while to melt such a large block of ice. Even with an electric drill, there's no guarantee you can remove it without damaging the gem, right?"
"Plus," he gestured around the room, "this place is surrounded by tempered glass, and there's a special device that delivers cold air. This way, the temperature in this room will be lower than in the other rooms, and the ice won't melt as easily, thus ensuring the safety of the gems."
"Furthermore, guards are stationed outside the glass house, so guests won't feel constrained and can relax and enjoy the gems."
Yuya said admiringly: "Uncle Jiroji, I have to say that your idea this time is quite good. Even Kaito Kidd would have a headache."
Compared to high-tech safety devices, this seemingly primitive method is surprisingly effective. By putting everything out in the open, even Kaito Kidd would have to think twice before taking action.
Suzuki Jirokichi shook his head: "This is not something I came up with."
"Oh?" Youya couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Could it be that Uncle Jiroyoshi has found a military advisor to give him advice this time?"
Suzuki Jiroji laughed and said, "You said he was a military advisor, and you guessed it right."
Yuya was stunned. There really was a military advisor? And judging from the tone, the other party's title was indeed military advisor? Could it be...
"Let me introduce you. This person is here today to help. He's Inspector Takaaki Morobushi of the Nagano Prefecture Investigation Division. He was the one who came up with this solution."
Everyone looked back and saw a man in a suit, with a mustache and a rather cold and serious expression, walking in from outside.
It was none other than Zhu Fu Gaoming.
Zhu Fu Gaoming said calmly, "I just said that if ice cubes were used, the guests would feel cool. But if, I also suggested, it would be wise to act quickly after making a decision. After all, speed is of the essence in war, right?"
"Speed is the essence of war?" Kogoro Mori was a little confused.
Mao Lilan explained: "This is a famous saying of a general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Yuya stepped forward and greeted him, "Inspector Morofushi, I didn't expect you to be here."
Seeing Yuya, Zhufu Takaaki still had that cold and serious expression, but his eyes seemed a little softer: "It's Detective Kamiya."
"Actually, I came to Tokyo a few days ago to confirm something, but the officer in charge of that matter was out on a case, and I didn't see him, so I had to come back today."
Morobushi Takaaki didn't see anyone at the Metropolitan Police Department, and when he was about to leave, he happened to meet Suzuki Jirokichi.
When he heard that Suzuki Jiro was having a headache about how to deal with Kaito Kid, he casually gave a few suggestions, which impressed Suzuki Jiro and he immediately invited him to help.
Zhu Fu Gaoming did not refuse. He would have to do it again later anyway, and the two things could be done in one day, so he agreed.
Yuanshan Heye had never seen Zhufu Gaoming before, so she quietly asked Miyano Shiho beside her: "Who is this person? He looks like someone who is not to be trifled with."
Miyano Shiho was at a loss for words: "This is the chief inspector of Nagano Prefecture. Oh, and he's also the childhood sweetheart of Chief Inspector Yamato Kansuke and Officer Uehara Yui..."
While everyone was discussing, Kaito Kidd, who had sneaked in disguised as a guard, was sweating profusely.
Two half-high school detectives, plus a Nagano Prefecture police officer who looks very powerful and like a military advisor, Kaito Kid couldn't help but feel ashamed.
As for Mouri Kogoro, he automatically ignored him. In all the confrontations with detectives, Mouri Kogoro never played any role. He was just a spectator watching the fun.
While Kaito Kidd was observing, Zhufu Takaaki and Yuya seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked in this direction.
Kaito Kidd was startled and quickly looked away, pretending to be standing guard seriously.
It’s too dangerous, too dangerous!
Kaito Kid shouted in his heart, although that crazy woman Suzuki Sonoko was not there, the most difficult Kamiya Yu was also there. This time there was another Nagano Prefecture police officer who looked difficult to deal with. It would be better not to take action tonight.
Several girls came up to the ice and marveled at the pink fairy lips inside.
"This gem is so beautiful!" Since they are not good at identifying gems, they can only use the word "beautiful" to express their feelings at the moment.
Zhu Fu Gaoming nodded: "Indeed, the color, size and shape are all excellent, and the pattern on the surface is also wonderful. No wonder it is called the Fairy Lips."
The three girls stared at each other in amazement. It was no wonder that the man known as Zhuge Kongming could evaluate a gem with such a serious expression, unlike them who would just say how beautiful it was!
At this time, a man walked in. "As expected, he's the police officer specially invited by Consultant Suzuki. He has a very good eye."
The person who came in was called Naeji Torigoe, the owner of the gem Fairy Lips. This time, it was Suzuki Jirokichi who specifically borrowed the gem from him to lure and capture Kaito Kid.
However, this person seemed difficult to get along with. He said that it was easy to assist in the capture, but he coldly said that there were many people waiting to buy the gem at a high price. If it was stolen, Suzuki Jirokichi would have to pay a large sum of money in compensation.
Suzuki Jirokichi agreed lukewarmly. Money was just a string of numbers to him. What was important was catching Kaito Kidd.
"You're lying!" A woman suddenly rushed in and yelled at the man, "This gem was clearly given to my grandfather by a wealthy man in the Caribbean when he was traveling abroad!"
She pointed at the man's nose and shouted, "You said you would help me appraise the gem, so I gave it to you, but now you won't give it back to me!"
Torigoe Miaolu sneered, "Your gem is very similar to mine, so I'm helping you get an appraisal."
"Besides, I remember I had already returned the gem to you."
Yamamoto Moena said sternly, "Ah, you did return it to me, but! The finger rest is original, but the gem on it is fake!"
"Hey, what's going on?" Suzuki Jirokichi asked dissatisfiedly.
If this gem actually belongs to Yamamoto Moena, then wouldn't he have made a fool of himself?
