Chapter 693 - Medieval Art Gallery
Kiyoshi Matsumoto sat in his office, looking at the casualty reports after the last National Police Agency operation.
"It's a shame," he sighed. "It ended up being a mess – there were only a few corpses left, and at what cost us?"
"39 people died, 12 were seriously injured, 18 were slightly injured, and 1 person was suspected to have died." It doesn't seem to realize that Matsumoto Kiyonaga is just sighing, and his new subordinate, Yuhiro Kazami, is saying the same.
"Suspected death?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga raised his gaze and looked at the other party. "What's going on?"
"The suspected death is...... The former prefect, Mr. Zero Tsukitani," Kazami said after a moment of hesitation. "We couldn't find his body."
"You mean zero valley?" Matsumoto's gaze suddenly sharpened. "The body was not found, how did you confirm that he was dead?"
"Because he was ...... by Jiichiro Numabuchi in front of everyone else," Kazami said as he made a gesture to hold his neck. Just took off his head and went straight to his neck - although it is said that Numumachi Jiichiro may be a monster with tenacious vitality, but ...... Mr. Shibuyani certainly wouldn't have survived such a situation, so we registered him as a suspected death and handed over his belongings to his family. ”
"......" Matsumoto Kiyoshi was silent.
"Let's look into it again," he said. "Although he planned such a failed operation, at least he himself did sacrifice his life on the front lines of the fight against the dark Ones, and his body deserves the respect of all of us - we need to take him home."
……
September 5th, the first day of school, after school.
"Haunted?" Qian Yu was stunned.
"yes, haunted!" Ayumi nodded nervously. "The armor of that museum is said to move around on its own at night!"
"Walking around on your own?" The T-70 he made immediately flashed in his mind, but then he felt that this was really unlikely. "Are you sure it's not an urban legend, or are they directing and acting to attract tourists?"
"No, at least it's certainly not an urban legend," Ayumi quickly shook her head. "And the museum itself is open for free, so there's no need to attract tourists!"
"That's probably for some other purpose," Thousand Feather shrugged. "There are many purposes besides money, and if this happens, the possibility that the museum itself will spread rumors must be given priority."
"However, if our junior detective team investigates over there and finds out that it is indeed a forgery from the museum itself, as long as it is reported to the media, maybe it will be in the newspaper!" Mitsuhiko said with a smile. "And if it's really the museum's own forgery, our actions will definitely not be too dangerous!"
"How are you going to get in?" After seeing that it wasn't just Ayumi who wanted to make a move, but also Mitsuhiko, Chiba felt a little big - if only one of the three children had this idea, then they might be able to digest it themselves, but if both of them had such thoughts...... Then maybe the remaining Yuan Tai has already been hooked into similar thoughts.
Adventure in the closed art gallery at night...... No matter how you listen to it, it's a thankless taste.
"Really, I don't recommend you to go," Qian Yu sighed again at the thought of this. "It's a waste of time and useless, and in the end, it will leave a psychological shadow on yourself."
"Got it......" Ayumi looked at Chiba with a rather aggrieved expression, and finally nodded. We just don't go. ”
But it was clear that Qian Yu underestimated the desire for action of these guys.
At 10:20 p.m. that night.
"Okay, I'll be sure to contact you if I see Ayumi," Chiba said respectfully to the person across from him on the phone. "Okay, then I'll hang up first."
Putting down the phone, Qian Yu sighed. "These guys ......"
"Ayumi isn't there either?" Ash Yuan Ai stood behind him and asked a little worriedly.
"yes," Chiba nodded. "I was just asking just in case, but they didn't really go there...... What to do? ”
"What do you say?" Gray Yuan asked rhetorically. "Can't you expect them to come back on their own?"
"Then you're at home—" When Qian Yu said this, he knew what the other party was thinking when he saw Gray Yuan's expression. "Okay, okay......"
……
10:50 a.m.
"How did they end up over there?" Dr. Asa asked, frowning, piloting the Beetle.
"Yes," Qian Yu said helplessly, sitting in the back seat. "I want to ask that question too...... By the way, what about Conan? ”
"Shinichi," Dr. Asasa smiled wryly. "He's not as free as you, Xiaolan hasn't slept yet, so he can't get out."
"I've always wondered why he lived over there—could it be that he did it so that he could be with his sister Xiaolan day and night?" At this moment, Gray Yuan Wai suddenly asked.
"Uh," Dr. Asasa said for a moment. "This ......"
"It can't really be for this, is it?" Chiba didn't have any idea of this at all, but after seeing Dr. Agasa's hesitation, she suddenly realized that it wasn't that simple. "Hey...... Live in ...... under this pretext It's still the home of the person who has no official relationship, it's simply ...... Perverted? ”
Gray Yuan glanced at him, but in the end he only pursed his lips a little unhappily and looked out the window.
"No, no," Dr. Asasa shook his head quickly. "Or because Lan's father is a detective, so he thinks that if he lives there, he may be able to get more information...... You know, at the time, he thought that the detectives would be able to gather a lot of information about a large organization like yours, and then he would be able to find you and find a way to change back. ”
"Poof...... Qianyu's first reaction was to laugh directly, and finally used the auxiliary unit to hold back his expression. This one...... This one...... How can it be such a simple thing to get bigger...... He wouldn't think that he would be able to find a few minions at random, and then he would be able to continue to look for them, and then catch them from the top of the structure to the drug research department, right? ”
"Yes, it seems that the original plan was quite taken for granted, but that's all we could do at that time." Dr. Asasa had a wry smile on his face.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that, I checked with their parents and found that they still haven't come home, so I think they may have entered the museum - although I don't know how they got in after the museum closed."
Outside the car window, the figure of the art museum has gradually appeared.
