Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

Until the movie was over and he walked out of the theater, Yuanzi had droopy eyes and looked depressed.

"What's the matter, Sonoko?"

Xiaolan was surprised, "It was you who urged us to watch this movie before..."

"But, I was looking forward to it because the first one was so good!" Sonoko complained, "The second one is basically the same. What's the point of a sequel like this?"

"Really? I fell asleep and didn't notice it at all..."

"Xiaolan, you still know! You and the uncle fell asleep!"

Yuanzi became more and more angry as he spoke, and then he sighed.

"I really hope something happens, preferably something exciting that makes the sound of your heartbeat drown out everything else, something gorgeous, bold, and exciting that people look forward to!"

Maori and Ai walked behind and twitched their lips at the same time.

How boring is this guy Yuanzi...

The commercial street is bustling with people and cars at night. A big full moon in the night sky with a few floating clouds is very eye-catching. This peaceful and lively night is quite nice.

"By the way," Xiao Ai looked at the moon above her head and said, "I haven't seen that guy you guys are talking about lately..."

"Didn't I ask him to put on makeup for me last time?"

"I mean, he seems to have been quiet for a long time, and there's no news about him in the newspapers..."

"Isn't it good? It's always a mess, who has the time to take care of it every time?"

"I say uncle and Ai," Sonoko turned around and looked at the two Maori who were left behind, "Can you guys hurry up?"

"Oh," Maori noticed the dessert shop on the road, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Uncle, are you treating me?"

Yuanzi suddenly became excited, "Okay, okay!"

"Hey, hey, young lady, why are you acting like you haven't had a drink before..."

While the group was chatting, a man wearing a hat in the crowd tightened his collar, looked past Maori at the handbag in Sonoko's hand, lowered his head and squeezed forward, grabbed the handbag, pushed him away and ran away.

"Ah?" Yuanzi was hit hard and said angrily, "What's going on? You bumped into someone and you didn't even say sorry!"

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? That guy is a thief, okay?!"

Maori looked at the huge garden with a frown on his face, and jumped onto the guardrail beside the sidewalk with a strong leap.

"You stay here, I'll be back soon!"

"My bag!" Sonoko realized it belatedly, looked at Maori who flashed by, and hurriedly followed, "Wait for me!"

"call!"

The sidewalk was crowded with pedestrians. The thief was running wildly with gritted teeth when he looked back and saw Maori chasing him unhindered by stepping on the guardrail. He was almost scared to death.

“Are you kidding me?!”

"You can't run away!"

Maori caught up with the thief and was about to jump off the guardrail when suddenly a black shadow jumped out from behind him and knocked the thief to the ground.

One bite?

"Eh?"

Maori stared blankly at the strange dog tearing the thief's clothes, then turned his head to look at the sidecar three-wheeled motorcycle parked outside the guardrail. An old man wearing a helmet and windshield glasses climbed over the guardrail and pressed down the thief with a laugh.

"Well done, Lupin! I hate thieves like this who snatch women's purses!"

"Wang Wang!"

The strange dog was panting and also wearing windshield glasses and a special helmet with two dog ears showing.

What a strange...dog...

"Okay," the old man shouted to Mao Li after he subdued the thief, "Young man, call the police!"

"Young man or something, okay, I am indeed a young man according to your age..."

"Thank you so much," Xiaolan came over after taking a breath and said happily, "Thank you for your dog too..."

"That's nothing," the old man said with a confident smile, "Even if he can get rid of my beloved dog Lupin, he can't escape from my 1500cc two-wheeled engine Harley-Davidson! Haha!"

"Uncle?" Sonoko arrived last and was stunned when she saw the laughing old man. "Isn't this Uncle Jiroyoshi?"

"Oh," the old man said in surprise, "It's Shi Lang's little girl. It seems like we haven't seen each other for ten years. So are these people with you?"

The old man looked at Maori and others again with curiosity.

"Yes," Sonoko smiled and turned to Maori and Xiaolan and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my father's cousin, Uncle Suzuki Jirokichi, the consultant of the Suzuki Group..."

"Oh, what consultant?" The old man turned his gaze away from Maori and laughed heartily, "Shiro is in charge of all the business matters. I'm just an idler. But having said that, you are really good, young man. You are almost catching up with me!"

"Ha ha……"

Maori's mouth twitched.

"By the way, uncle," Yuanzi asked curiously, "when did you come back? I heard that you went out traveling half a year ago..."

"Just last week," the old man said with a strange gleam in his eyes, "I happened to find it while traveling around the world, so I came back with the best bait!"

……

At Suzuki Jirokichi's villa, Maori walked in front of everyone and entered the exhibition hall.

As an advisor to the Suzuki Group, Suzuki Jirokichi is an idle old man who has no pursuit of money. He simply lives his life to the fullest and cares a lot about fame.

Thinking about myself now, although I have gained considerable fame, I am still far from ignoring money. I still work hard to earn a living.

"Golf's European Open..."

"The America's Cup in sailing, and the World Hamburger Eating Championship..."

“They are all championship medals and trophies!”

Xiaolan and Sonoko visited the exhibition hall in surprise.

"But, there are no similar ones..."

"Hey," Suzuki Jirokichi said proudly, "I'm not interested once I reach the top."

"awesome!"

Xiaolan looked at the certificates with wide eyes: "The oldest person to climb Mount Everest, a new record for free diving, and even a record for gliding around the world!"

Ai stood with Maori with a smile on her face: "This old man even won the car rally in the rainforest. It's great to be rich. Uncle, you won't become like this in the future, right?"

Maori's eyelids twitched: "How is it possible..."

"Huh?" Yuanzi looked at the trophy and curiously looked at a golden statue decoration on the other side. "Has there been such a statue before?"

"Oh, this," Suzuki Jirokichi turned his head, "This is the golden statue of the goddess that was decorated on the bow of the Sea Goddess as a symbol during the Age of Exploration when pirates were rampant. The thing she holds high in her right hand is a sapphire made from mermaid tears. It is said to have the magical power to prevent shipwrecks, so it is called the 'Blue Miracle'..."

"Originally, the statue was surrounded by iron mermaids, but after a long time, the mermaids rusted away, leaving only this pure gold statue of the goddess holding a large gem!"

Suzuki Jirokichi looked at the statue with great attention: "I think it is very valuable in terms of art, so I paid a high price to buy it. It was delivered here just last week."

Yuanzi blinked: "Could it be that the bait just mentioned is..."

"Yes, this is the bait, to catch that guy!"

Chapter 119: Kaito Kidd's Pretentious Stroll

Seeing everyone's surprised reactions, Suzuki Jirokichi's expression darkened, and he looked fiercely at the sapphire held by the goddess statue:

"I have lived in this world for 72 years, and I have always gotten everything that I, Jirokichi, set my sights on... Yes, I have won all the awards I wanted, and all my dreams have come true, but..."

"There is only one person, the only one in this world that I cannot control... No matter how strict the security is, no matter how secure the safe is, that person can break through the siege as if using magic, and suddenly spread his wings and disappear in the night sky. This white sinner..."

"This guy, his name is Kaito Kidd!"

Suzuki Jirokichi showed a solemn and excited look, as if he was a hunter preparing to hunt down a powerful prey. "I'm planning to publish a challenge in the newspaper. The bait is the miracle of this sea!"

Maori's eyelids drooped.

This old man is really good at making trouble...

"Uncle," Sonoko said, getting a little excited at the same time as she was nervous, "Do you think Kidd will take the bait?"

"how could I know……"

Maori thought about Kuroba Kaito's appearance and said, "Maybe."

That guy likes to flirt more than Conan, it would be strange if he didn't take the bait...

……

On Saturday night, a large number of passers-by gathered outside the Suzuki Museum. A series of helicopters hovered over the museum, and the sound of propellers almost drowned out the noise of the crowd below.

Maori stood outside the cordon with the crowd, his eyes scanning the private helicopter above and the armed police stationed outside the museum.

As expected, Kaito responded to Suzuki Jirokichi's challenge and agreed to take formal action tomorrow night. He would come here to scout the area today. After the news spread, the situation immediately became like this. I don't know how many reporters squeezed into the crowd. There were flash lights shining from his direction. The bigger the police's movements, the more exciting it became, as if they were holding a pilgrimage.

The reason why Maori came to watch the fun was because Kidd stated at the end of the preview letter: "In order to live up to the name of the blue miracle, I decided to come here on foot to receive it"...

He was as cocky as ever, but it also made him curious - what kind of magic was this kid going to use?

"What are you doing?!" Officer Nakamori's familiar voice shouted from inside the blockade. "Do I need to explain this? Checkpoints are set up at all passages in this museum. No suspicious person is allowed to pass!"

"What?! You don't know how to tell who is Kidd? Just pull his face hard! He can change his appearance anyway! Not only pull, but pull! Pull hard, understand?!"

Officer Nakamori looked very imposing.

Maori suddenly felt a little sympathy for Officer Nakamori. It was not easy at all. He still didn't know that Kid was his future son-in-law.

"Uncle," Conan looked up at the night sky, "Will that guy really come? This time the police won't give him a chance to disguise himself and enter the museum..."

"He will definitely come," Mao Li frowned slightly, "but he deliberately scouted the place in public... What on earth is he planning?"

"Ran! Uncle!" Sonoko came over on Suzuki Jiroki's tricycle and waved excitedly when she saw the Maori guys standing together, "Is Kidd here?"

Xiaolan shook her head: "Not yet..."

Suzuki Jirokichi stopped his motorcycle and still looked very confident: "It's a good thing you can come. Come with me and take a look later."

"Hey!" Officer Nakamori suddenly came out angrily and grabbed old man Jirokichi, "Is that you?! The culprit who caused this commotion? Hurry up and tell your helicopters to go somewhere else! With them here, the police helicopters can't come!!"

"We don't need a police helicopter here," Suzuki Jirokichi said nonchalantly, "Didn't Kidd's announcement say that he would come here on foot?"

"Then why did you bring so many helicopters here?"

"Those helicopters are used to shoot my autobiographical movie!"

"Huh?!" Nakamori was confused.

……

A large mobile truck was parked outside the museum, its interior filled with surveillance screens, more exaggerated than a TV station's broadcast vehicle, and many staff members were on high alert.

"Oh my God……"

Maori and his group followed Suzuki Jirokichi into the surveillance car and were shocked by the commotion the old man had created. However, the old man did not think there was anything special about it, and his expression became more confident.

"Humph, not only are the images taken by the helicopter, but also the images taken by the 100 cameras installed in the museum. We can also fully grasp the situation from here!"

“Hey, hey!” Officer Nakamori recovered from his shock, “Why is there no one in the museum?!”

"I deliberately moved the people away," Suzuki Jirokichi said with increasing spirit, "This way, if he disguises himself as someone else and breaks in, we'll be able to see him at a glance! Moreover, the switches of all the museum's exits can be controlled here. Even if Kaito Kidd can reach the top floor where the statue of the goddess is, we can trap him inside..."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that he abides by the notice! Ahahaha!"

Officer Nakamori was speechless.

This old man seems to be serious. Rich people are troublesome...

Mao Li stood behind like air, watching the surveillance screen quietly without saying a word.

The golden goddess statue was mounted on a wooden beam protruding from the museum roof, holding up the blue miracle gem and enjoying everyone's attention.

Cameras also monitored the Golden Goddess Statue from all angles... More than a hundred screens were truly shocking, even more exaggerated than the police's previous defenses. In addition, the large number of helicopters hovering around also caused considerable interference to Kidd who was using a hang glider.

but……

The more this happens, the easier it is for someone to take advantage of you.
