Officer Zenigata analyzed the situation with a serious expression.

"You got it right!"

Lupin held a smoke bomb in his hand, laughing wildly. However, he had no intention of lingering with the group any longer. He swung his left hand forward, preparing to throw the smoke bomb.

Just then, a smoke bomb, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, was thrown into the center of the vault. Before anyone could react, a large amount of white smoke was quickly released into the vault.

"It's Lupin's hypnotic smoke bomb. Cover your mouth and nose to protect Cherry Sapphire!"

Officer Zenigata shouted.

However, Lupin, the person involved, was still completely bewildered. He glanced at the hypnotic smoke bomb in his hand that he hadn't thrown yet and began to have deep doubts about himself.

"What?! I don't think I've thrown it away yet?"

"Never mind all that, getting the gems is the priority!"

Having made up his mind, Lupin ignored everything else, quickly put on his gas mask, and approached Cherry Sapphire.

However, Lupin did not notice that in the thick white smoke, a figure had already taken the cherry sapphire before him and quickly retreated.

"Cherry sapphires, they still have some use."

Touching the gem in his hand, Chen Feng smiled faintly, then quickly put it away.

The smoke dissipated quickly.

Lupin, looking completely bewildered, holds an empty cherry sapphire storage box inside.

What?! Where's the jewel?!

A million questions arose in Lupin's mind. He recalled every detail of his actions, and there shouldn't have been any problems.

"Lupin! Put down the cherry sapphire!"

Chen Feng, Sato Miwako, and Officer Zenigata, all wearing gas masks, slowly surrounded them.

Unlike the anger on the faces of Sato Miwako and Inspector Zenigata, Chen Feng's expression was more playful.

"Lupin!" Chen Feng removed his gas mask and said in a deliberately serious tone, "Leave the Cherry Sapphire! You're not getting away today!"

Although Officer Zenigata didn't say anything, the seriousness on his face spoke volumes.

"If I said... the Cherry Sapphire isn't in my possession, would you believe me?"

Lupin held up the empty storage box and spoke helplessly.

Chen Feng naturally believed it, since the Cherry Sapphire was currently with him, but Sato Miwako and the other woman might not.

Chen Feng's lips curled up, and he chuckled to himself before quickly suppressing his laughter and looking at Lupin with feigned seriousness.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Sato Miwako gritted her teeth, strode forward, raised her left leg and swung it out quickly, delivering a whip kick towards Lupin.

"That's ruthless! I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

Lupin threw the storage box in his hand at the group, and in the instant that the box obscured their view, he shot the steel cable in his hand toward the top of the vault. Then, pulled by the cable, he leaped high into the air and ran outside.

"Attention all departments! Attention all departments! Lupin has escaped with Cherry Sapphire! All departments, launch a manhunt immediately!"

"Roger that!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 277 Fujiko Mine

Ten minutes later.

On the street outside the central bank.

A figure was running quickly from side to side, and behind him, a large group of police officers were in hot pursuit.

"Lupin! You can't escape! Stop right there!"

"Lupin! Surrender!"

Hearing the sounds coming from behind, Lupin quickly weaved through the crowd, using the complex throng to block the pursuers.

"I already told you, I didn't take that gem! You went to find it yourselves!"

He then disappeared into the crowd, taking a moment to shout behind him while simultaneously overturning a roadside stall to block the police behind him.

Lupin was utterly frustrated. His plan had gone perfectly, and aside from a few minor mishaps, everything seemed fine until…

Lupin cursed inwardly, but his pace quickened as he continued running forward.

The streets were a mess.

Meanwhile, inside the bank.

Seeing that Lupin had already escaped, Chen Feng took the opportunity to say goodbye.

After leaving the bank vault, Chen Feng didn't rush back to the coffee shop. Instead, he avoided the surveillance cameras and made several turns to reach a secluded, deserted warehouse.

dong dong dong-

Chen Feng reached out and tapped gently.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside.

"It's me," Chen Feng replied.

"Click—"

The door to the small warehouse was opened, and Akemi appeared in the doorway.

"No one's following us, right?" Akemi asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, let's go inside and talk."

Chen Feng smiled and spoke.

The two entered the house, which was very simply furnished with only a simple sofa, a work table, and an office chair.

Ai sat earnestly in her office chair, her hands rapidly typing on the keyboard. As if noticing Chen Feng's arrival, she stopped what she was doing and slowly raised her head.

"How is it, Ai? Did you solve it?" Chen Feng stepped forward and asked.

Without saying anything unnecessary, Ai turned the computer screen directly towards Chen Feng.

The paper was covered with a dense array of phone numbers and corresponding notes.

"That's all. Lupin's phone has pretty strong security. I can only crack his contacts for the last three days by remote decoding for now."

"enough."

Looking at the information on the computer screen, Chen Feng smiled.

“However…” Ai’s face showed a strange expression: “What do you need that guy’s contact information for? Do you want to arrest him?”

"If we arrest him..."

Chen Feng thought for a moment: "I don't have that idea for now. I'll talk about it later if I'm interested."

Hearing this, Ai rolled her eyes but didn't say anything more.

Chen Feng looked at the information on the computer screen, found the number with the words "Feng Fujiko" written on it, picked up his phone and pressed a series of numbers, then decisively dialed the number.

beep beep-

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was slowly answered.

"Moses, Moses? Who is that?"

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"it's me."

Chen Feng opened his mouth, and a voice exactly like Lupin's rang out.

"Mr. Lupin? Why did you change your phone number?"

"It's just for safety, but it shouldn't have anything to do with our deal, right?"

Chen Feng answered in a casual tone, much like Lupin.

"Heh...of course, did you get the item?"

"Of course, with Lupin III involved, how could any jewel escape? Is Fujiko alright?"

"That lady is very nice. I have no interest in doing anything to hurt her, provided, of course, that I get what I want."

"Then we'll hand over the person and the goods at the same time."

"Okay, if there are no problems, it'll be 7 PM tonight. I'll send you the exact location then. See you then."

Snapped--

The call was disconnected.

Mingmei quickly came up, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked, "Chen, what... what are you doing?"

Isn't it obvious?

Chen Feng slowly reached out and put his phone away, then looked at Mingmei and smiled: "Rescue the innocent girl who has been kidnapped by criminals."

"Fujiko Mine, female, blood type A, height 167cm, a world-class wanted criminal, proficient in all kinds of firearms and lethal weapons, an international thief, listed by the FBI as one of the ten most dangerous female wanted criminals..."

Ai looked at the information on the computer screen and slowly began to speak, then leisurely raised her head to look at Chen Feng:

"This is the innocent girl you were talking about?"

"Hmm...more or less."

Chen Feng spoke with a light laugh.

Xiao Ai was speechless for a moment, then continued to look at the computer screen, typing something on it, and said:

"Have you found a location for the lab yet? I already have some ideas about improving the drug."

"Oh? So fast?"

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised and said, "I've already found a location for the laboratory, and that should be resolved in a couple of days."
