Chapter 854 Male and female detectives (clear and false)
"Police department! We are coming!"

In an underground vault, Megure Shisan and Mouri Kogoro, who hurried from the Sakura Hotel, saluted the middle-aged police officer in front of them.

"Well, good time."

This middle-aged police officer was the one who directed the capture operation of Kaito Kidd last night. Although the operation failed, it was later proven that Kaitou Kidd was actually Lupine the Third in disguise, and the Shining Diamond was also recovered. , so he was not punished in the end, and instead participated in the command of this operation.

"Memu, Maori, I'm just waiting for you two." The middle-aged police officer looked at the two of them and nodded lightly.

Behind him, there were two detectives, a man and a woman. They seemed to be from the Second Investigation Division. Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro had some impressions.

Finally, there was a short old man wearing glasses, who seemed to be the manager of the treasury who was cooperating with the police.

"Especially you, Maori, I am very pleased with your courage to pursue Lupine III last night. I hope you can be so brave this time."

The words of the middle-aged police officer directly made Kogoro Mouri get excited, and he immediately raised his chest and shouted:

"Oh! Don't worry about the police department! I'm here! I will make sure Lupine III is captured without any help!"

"Haha! Very good! This is the momentum!"

Although there were only six people in the underground vault, around the bank above the vault, countless special police officers had surrounded the place and were ready, and even several helicopters were dispatched.

"Um, the police department, are you really not considering moving that cherry sapphire?" Megure Thirteen asked worriedly.

The cherry sapphire that Lupine III predicted would be taken away was now in the vault in front of him. But to be honest, in the eyes of Megure Thirteen, the security measures of this bank's vault can only be said to be average, although there are already Although I received police protection, it was still hard to rest assured.

"No, Mu Mu, I understand your concerns, but going to war to move the gems now will only give Lupine III an opportunity to take advantage of."

"This police officer has also communicated with the owner of this cherry sapphire about this matter before, hoping that he can transfer the gem to other safer bank vaults..."

It was the short manager who spoke.

"But the gentleman said it was not necessary. He has great trust in the ability of the Japanese police... Haha, if the person who deposits it does not agree, there is nothing we can do..."

Judging from the manager's tone, he seemed helpless about it.

After all, if Lupine III really succeeds, it will be a big blow to the bank's reputation... What's even scarier is that I heard that Lupine III seems to be a legendary thief who never fails...

"Oh! Thank you for your trust! We will definitely protect that gem! Right! Little Liz?!"

Behind the middle-aged police officer, the male detective immediately shouted excitedly, and at the same time turned to look at the female detective next to him.

【Little Liz? It kind of looks like a foreigner’s name...]

The female detective named Xiao Lisi's eyes twitched when she heard this, but soon she showed a smile as bright as the sun. She clenched her hands in front of her chest and made a cheering gesture. Her upper body was slightly forward. Qing, with a very cute gesture, nodded vigorously.

"Yes! That's right! We will never let a mere Lupine III succeed~"

But for some reason, Mumu Shisan always felt that although the female detective was smiling, there was a certain chill in her eyes that seemed to be murderous?

[Well, it must be my misunderstanding...]

"Very good! Then let's unite as one! Let's do it!"

The male detective, who was full of energy, stepped forward with a smile, shook hands with everyone, and cheered.

At the same time, as the time gradually approached twelve o'clock, the police outside had begun to deploy.

"There are still three minutes left before the preview time of Lupine III. Now, all surrounding streets are blocked and vehicles are prohibited from passing. Except for the police personnel inside the bank, everyone will tune their intercoms to the preset channel."

Of course, the people in front of the vault door didn't know what was going on outside. "Aren't you here yet? Has Lupine the Third ever been late on time?" Mouri Kogoro looked down at his watch and asked.

"No, never." The middle-aged police officer replied calmly: "I have learned about this thief before. Since he has predicted the time, he will definitely steal the treasure at that time, not early and never. It will be late."

"In other words, it's only one minute..."

"Is he already hiding around here?" The male detective looked around.

"It is indeed possible." The middle-aged police officer nodded and replied: "I heard that Lupine III is very good at disguise. Maybe he has already disguised himself as one of us and sneaked in..."

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, the male detective and the female detective instantly drew their guns and pointed them at each other. Even Mouri Kogoro subconsciously put his hand on the pistol at his waist, as if facing a formidable enemy.

After all, unlike Kaitou Kidd who never kills, Lupine III can really shoot, and he almost got sent away last night.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be nervous, everyone, put down your guns quickly..." Mumu Shisan said helplessly.

"Ten, twelve o'clock! It's time!"

At this moment, the manager, who had been staring at his watch, wiped the sweat on his head with a handkerchief and suddenly shouted loudly.

"Arrived already?"

"It seems like nothing happened?"

Everyone looked down at their watches, and there was silence in front of the empty vault door.

Lupine III did not appear.

"Strange, this is impossible..."

The middle-aged police officer raised his hand and touched his chin, frowned and said, "Lupine III has always been very punctual, how could he still not show up when the time is up?"

"Is it possible that he thought the police's defense was too tight this time, so he gave up?" Megure Thirteen asked.

"Impossible, you will definitely seize the prey you are targeting. This is Lupine the Third..."

"Could it be possible! Lupine the Third has actually entered the vault?!" the male detective shouted loudly.

"what?!"

When the female detective heard the sound, she raised her hand and pressed it on her chest, leaning back with a slightly exaggerated look of shock on her face.

"It's just Lupine the Third, how could he, how could he hide it from us?!"

"But! Isn't this kind of plot often seen on TV? The police are waiting outside, but they don't know that the thief has secretly dug a tunnel into the vault and stolen the treasure..."

"But it's just Lupine the Third, how could..."

"Well, I can't rule out this possibility."

After listening to the conversation between the two people, the middle-aged police officer nodded slowly and said to the manager beside him:

"Mr. Manager, I would like to trouble you to temporarily open the vault door and let us confirm the situation inside."

"Okay, okay, no problem."
