Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

As soon as she sat down, Miwako Sato couldn't wait to speak.

"Miss Miwako, I'm just a detective, not a prophet. How would I know what happened?" Chen Feng shrugged and chuckled.

Miwako Sato wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, Inspector Megure's voice came from in front of her.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet."

Inspector Megure walked to the front of the conference room and said, "Due to some reasons, Inspector Nakamori is unable to attend this meeting, so I will be chairing it on his behalf."

Now I'd like to introduce someone to you.

As he spoke, Inspector Megure reached out his hand toward Officer Qian Xing, who immediately stood up upon seeing this.

"This is Officer Qian Xing, the dedicated investigator for Lupin III."

……

Chapter 274 Lupin Sneaks In?

As Inspector Megure spoke, Officer Qian Xing stepped forward and turned to face the crowd:

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you all. I won't waste any more time with pleasantries. I'm here today to request the help of the local police in Beika City. Lupin III casually tossed the diamond he stole last time onto the riverbank, but his next target is already clear: this..."

As he spoke, Officer Zenigata turned on the projector, and a bright blue gemstone image immediately appeared on the screen.

"Cherry Sapphire!"

Officer Zenigata spoke with a serious expression.

"It looks quite pretty."

Looking at the pictures of gemstones on the screen, Miwako Sato couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "It's not very well-known. I don't think I've ever heard of this gem before today, let alone seen it on display."

"Huh? That seems to be the case."

Miwako Sato raised her hand and pinched her chin, looking thoughtful.

"Sato! And Takagi too!"

"Huh? Yes!"

Sato Miwako quickly stood up, and Takagi Wataru followed suit.

Inspector Megure looked in their direction and said:

“Officer Nakamori is on leave at home these days, and Team Two is short-handed, so you guys are going to help out. Also… Brother Chen Feng.”

"Ok?"

Chen Feng's lips twitched slightly when he heard Inspector Megure address him as "brother." For some reason, Inspector Megure seemed to have a strange obsession with the word "brother."

However, he didn't show it and immediately stood up.

"This is Chen Feng, a special detective invited by our Metropolitan Police Department. I believe he can provide assistance to Lupin's operations."

"Oh?"

Qian Xing turned to look in Chen Feng's direction and was slightly surprised to see that it was the young man who had greeted him earlier.

"Officer Qian, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Feng smiled and spoke politely.

"Isn't that Mr. Chen who stopped Kaito Kid's operation before? I've heard a lot about him."

Officer Qianxing nodded very politely to Chen Feng.

To be fair, although Officer Zenigata's appearance is a little... rough, his behavior and speech are very polite, making people feel very comfortable.

"Lupin's operation will take place at 1 p.m. tomorrow, which means we have one day to prepare. Gentlemen, we should meet Lupin at the bank in the center of Beika City."

Officer Zenigata stood up, his face serious.

"Oh? The cherry sapphire has always been stored in the vault of the central bank in Beika City?"

Chen Feng suddenly spoke, instantly attracting the attention of the group.

Officer Zenigata said, "Uh, no, this gem was just placed inside a few days ago by an elderly gentleman who came from abroad."

"I see..."

Chen Feng stroked his chin and nodded: "Then I understand."

Although Officer Qian Xing was slightly puzzled by Chen Feng's question, he didn't say much.

Officer Qian could say he knew Lupin better than anyone else, but even so, he couldn't guarantee he could stop Lupin's actions.

He was naturally pleased that someone else was coming to help, even if that person was a bit too young...

The meeting quickly came to an end, and Chen Feng did not linger, leaving the Metropolitan Police Department immediately.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Feng ran into Miyamoto Yumi and Miike Naeko from the Ministry of Transportation when he went out.

At that time, they found a vehicle that had no license plates and was parked haphazardly in front of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Faced with such an arrogant vehicle, Miyamoto Yumi and her companion immediately called for it to be towed away. Of course, they probably didn't know that three minutes later, Officer Qian Xing, who had just finished a meeting and came out of the Metropolitan Police Department, stared blankly at the empty doorway for a long time.

……

Time passed slowly.

The next day, around noon.

Chen Feng arrived at the Central Bank as promised.

After a series of checks, they were finally allowed to enter.

Upon entering the bank, Officer Qian, Miwako Sato, Wataru Takagi, and others were already waiting at the vault door. In addition to them, the president of the Central Bank accompanied them throughout the visit.

Upon seeing Chen Feng enter, Sato Miwako immediately went up to greet him.

"Chen, you're finally here! I thought you'd forgotten about it! You only showed up at the last minute, you're really not in a hurry at all!"

"Ah, haha, something came up and I was delayed. I shouldn't be late, right?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Chen Feng wasn't actually late, but before coming here, he took a walk around the surrounding area and even found a man who had already fainted in a public restroom near the bank...

Chen Feng glanced at "Takagi Wataru," who was still talking to Officer Zenigata, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"It's quite a show that he directed and acted in himself, Mr. Lupin..." Chen Feng muttered to himself before turning his gaze away.

"Almost!" Sato Miwako rolled her eyes and glanced at her watch.

“It’s 12:35 now, and there’s less than half an hour until Lupin’s operation time. Maybe the thief has already arrived here and sneaked into the vault.”

As she spoke, Sato Miwako looked at Chen Feng with a serious expression, her tone somewhat stern:

"You wouldn't... be Lupin in disguise, would you?"

Snapped!

Chen Feng reached out and flicked Sato Miwako on the forehead: "What are you thinking? Your imagination is too rich!"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Miwako Sato covered her head and spoke angrily.

Officer Zenigata, who was not far ahead, also noticed this and slowly walked forward, with Wataru Takagi by his side.

"Mr. Chen is here. What do you think? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"As for suggestions..."

Chen Feng pinched his chin and said:

"Now that the gems are in the bank's vault, my idea is that as long as the vault door isn't opened, the gems are basically safe. And if anyone dares to suggest opening the vault door, then it's highly likely that this person is Lupin in disguise!"

What do you think, Officer Takagi?

"Uh... huh?"

Suddenly called upon, Takagi Wataru seemed momentarily stunned. He looked up and realized Chen Feng was staring at him. He then straightened up and said:

"Of course! But no matter who Lupin is impersonating, I will definitely bring him to justice!"

Takagi Wataru spoke with great conviction.

"It's good that Officer Takagi is confident," Chen Feng said inexplicably.

Inspector Zenigata nodded: "Mr. Chen is right. Before Lupin's notice arrives, none of us will open the vault door."

"Alright, it's about time. Let's head over to the vault first."

"Yes, Inspector Qian Xing."

"it is good."

Including Chen Feng, the group nodded and walked towards the vault.

……

Chapter 275 The Vault Door

"What a heavy iron gate."

Looking at the massive alloy steel door of the vault, Miwako Sato couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Of course." Upon hearing this, the bank manager immediately straightened his back, looking proud: "Our bank's vault has always been known for its security. Even a cannon might not be able to blast open the door of our vault."

Inspector Zenigata also arrived at the steel door, placed his hand on it, and asked, "Have you been keeping the Cherry Sapphire inside all this time?"

"Um, yes, ever since Mr. Wakago Shigeaki put the cherry sapphire in our bank a few days ago, I have kept the gem in the vault and haven't touched it."

"Mr. Bank Manager".

Chen Feng suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention: "I'd like to ask if you have a photo of that Mr. Wakago Shigeoshi?"

"Photos?" The bank manager was clearly taken aback for a moment, but after thinking for a second, he immediately took out his phone and started scrolling through the photos, saying as he did so:

"I have backups for all the people who store their valuables here. Let me find them... Ah, I found them!"

The bank manager raised his phone and placed it in front of Chen Feng. Detective Zenigata, Wataru Takagi, and Miwako Sato also gathered around.
