Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Sirius looked down at Qian Jiang with a half-smile and opened his mouth.

Qian Jiang looked down at him, his face turning bright red with embarrassment, yet he couldn't say anything.

At Natsumi's prompting, Sawabe Kuranosuke, the butler, stepped forward with the keys.

"Many places here have been set up by the master with traps. If you are not familiar with the area, it is best not to wander around, otherwise you may easily trigger these traps."

As they were talking, Sawabe Kuranosuke had already freed Inui Shoichi's hand from the safe.

Looking at the pile of glittering jewels in the safe, Qian Jiangyi was reluctant, but he could only nod and say nothing more.

"These gems...are they fake?"

Sonoko stepped forward, reached into the safe embedded in the wall, picked up a gemstone, and tentatively asked a question.

"Uh...yes."

Sawabe Kuranosuke didn't deny it; he simply nodded in agreement.

"In order to practice his mechanical skills, the master set up no fewer than 10 fake jewel mechanisms in the castle, and this is one of them."

Upon hearing Kuranosuke Sawabe's words, Sonoko gave him an "I knew it" look, put down the jewelry in her hand, and stopped paying attention to it.

"How come you know me again, Miss Sonoko? Did you see similar jewelry in your own home when you were a child?" Sirius asked curiously from the side.

"No, it's just that I happen to recognize one of the gems. It's the gem that Lord Kidd stole in the United States. Lord Kidd would never steal a fake. Since the real one is over there, this one must be fake."

Sonoko explained with a smile, as if she had endless things to say about "Kaito Kid".

This answer made everyone's lips twitch.

However, no one paid much attention to it, and then, led by Xia Mei, they arrived at the office of her great-grandfather, Mr. Xi Yi.

"Please come in, everyone."

Xia Mei warmly greeted everyone: "This is my great-grandfather's office where he often stayed. He personally hung up all the photos on the wall, so feel free to look around."

"Let me see the photo that Mr. Kiichi hung up himself."

Kogoro Mouri was the first to enter the room and began to speak.

The others followed shortly after.

After looking around, Chen Feng said, "Miss Xia Mei, it seems there are only photos of your great-grandfather here, but no photos of your great-grandmother, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Mei also seemed a little regretful: "I have never seen a picture of my great-grandmother since I was a child, so I still don't know what she looked like."

"I see. I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Xia Mei smiled slightly at Chen Feng, showing no sign of unease.

"Ah! This...this is a photo of Rasputin, isn't it? His name is on it!" Inui exclaimed in surprise, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"Rasputin? Where is he? Let me see." Sireuf seemed very interested and quickly went over to him.

"Rasputin? Who's that?" Xiaolan looked at her father in confusion.

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head and said, "I don't know much about him either, I just know he's a big bad guy."

As soon as the words "big bad guy" were uttered, Pu Siqinglan, who had been flipping through a book in the distance, paused slightly, looked over in their direction, and revealed a dangerous glint in her eyes before instantly returning to normal and looking down at her book again.

Chen Feng had been keeping an eye on Pu Siqinglan's situation, and upon seeing her reaction, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Miss Pu Siqinglan seems a bit too narrow-minded..."

Chen Feng thought to himself.

"Is she pretty?" A warm, moist breath came from beside my ear.

"Not as good-looking as you," Chen Feng replied with a smile.

"Hmph! That's more like it."

Yukiko then looked away, letting out a soft hum as if she was no longer bothered by it. However, the smile on her lips betrayed her inner joy.

……

Chapter 352 Mechanism

"I know this person."

Sireuf spoke with a serious expression: "Rasputin, known as the sorcerer monk, was an important figure who led to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty. He once held real power in the Romanov dynasty for a period of time, but was soon killed by a nobleman and his men."

It is said that his body was not discovered until several days later by the riverbank. At that time, his forehead was sunken, and even one of his eyes had been gouged out; his death was extremely gruesome.

"That's terrible," Sonoko said.

"Mr. Sirius".

Chen Feng stepped forward and asked, "Do you know whether Rasputin's right or left eye was gouged out after his death?"

"Um...this..."

Sileu shook his head hesitantly: "I really don't know, but I can send a message to a friend of mine. He's a history professor who specializes in this period of history, so he should know the answer to this question."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome."

Sirius nodded to Chen Feng, then took out his phone and quickly typed, presumably sending a message to his friend.

Xiao Lan looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Chen, why are you asking this question? Are you interested in this Rasputin?"

"I wouldn't say that, it's just some speculation."

Chen Feng's ambiguous remarks only made things more confusing.

Kogoro Mouri and the others also withdrew their gazes and stopped looking in their direction.

As for Conan, he looked in Chen Feng's direction, lost in thought.

"Does Chen suspect that Scrooge's actions are related to Rasputin? Or... does he already know who the murderer is?!"

Conan was startled and his gaze swept over everyone present, but he couldn't come up with any good guesses, so he had to suppress his thoughts for the time being.

According to Professor Agasa's information, Scorpion should be a citizen of the Arctic Kingdom, but among the people present, it seems that only Sylph is a citizen of the Arctic Kingdom, but he...

Conan's gaze swept over Silph, then quickly looked away, lost in thought.

"what--"

Qian Jiangyi suddenly let out a scream, then abruptly fell to the ground, his face contorted in pain.

Looking at Inui Shoichi on the ground, Sileo couldn't help but tease him:

"Could it be that Mr. Qian has discovered another [treasure]? Why did he suddenly lie down on the ground like that?"

"you--"

Qian pointed in the direction of Sireuf, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't say anything. He just snorted and turned his head away, ignoring him.

Sylph, having been rebuffed, stopped pursuing the issue, and the two ceased hostilities once again.

Conan seemed to have noticed something and quickly approached Inui.

"Mr. Qian, could you please move it a little?"

Conan stared at the ground and spoke.

Although Qian Jiangyi did not understand, he still did as instructed.

"What are you up to now, you bespectacled brat!" Kogoro Mouri yelled from the side, annoyed.

However, Conan seemed not to hear him at all and did not pay any attention to him. He just reached out and groped on the floor.

"Use this, it should be faster."

A voice came from behind him. Conan looked up and saw Chen Feng handing him a metal detector.

"I just took it from Mr. Qian's bag. I hope you won't mind if I borrow it for a moment."

Chen Feng spoke with a smile.

Qian Jiangyi knew, of course, that Chen Feng was referring to the bag he used for "treasure hunting." His face flushed red, and he quickly said, "No problem, no problem, whatever you like."

Conan glanced gratefully at Chen Feng, took the metal detector, turned it on, and scanned the ground.

drop--

Drop drop-

When Conan scanned a certain spot, the metal detector in his hand suddenly emitted a series of alarm sounds.

Upon seeing this, Conan's eyes lit up. He threw the metal detector aside, groped around the alarm area on the ground, and quickly found a small gap.

Hold the gap with your hand and pry it open forcefully.

As the floorboards were lifted, a combination lock-like object was revealed inside, which seemed to be another mechanism.

"what is this?"

Everyone, including Natsumi, looked at the old butler, Sawabe Kuranosuke, with a puzzled expression.

However, Sawabe Kuranosuke also looked bewildered. Faced with everyone's gaze, he could only cough lightly and tell the truth:

"I'm sorry everyone, I don't know what this is either, but this is Mr. Xi Yi's office, so this is probably another trap he made."

"If it's a mechanism, what's the password...?"

Conan lay on the ground, frowning in deep thought.

"Then it's time for me, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, to take action!"

With a broad smile on his face, Kogoro Mouri picked up Conan, tossed him aside, and took over the keypad all by himself.

Conan tried to struggle when he saw this, but Kogoro Mouri pushed him away without hesitation.

"Could the password be Mr. Kiichi's name?"

Qian Jiangyi guessed and spoke.

"Very likely! I'll give it a try."
