Chi Feichi consciously took the paper cup and took three glasses of warm water. After Moori Kogoro and Conan sat down one after another, he handed the two glasses of water forward and looked sideways at the crowds of people outside the window.
Mouri Kogoro was so flattered by the compliments that he felt that such an arrangement for the holiday was not bad at all. He took the water glass with a smile and said, "Thank you, Fei Chi."
"Thank you, brother Chi." Conan responded obediently, picked up the paper cup, and turned to look out the window like Chi Feichi.
He's not really a first-grade elementary school student, so how could he eat snacks from other girls?
One minute……
ten minutes……
twenty minutes……
"Whoa!"
Half an hour later, the curtain of the dressing room was opened.
Conan turned around and looked, and saw that Mao Lilan came out with a dress and shook his head. Knowing that the waiting would continue, he had no choice but to look away, and finally started to look at the snacks in the drawer, "Brother Chi, do you want some snacks?"
When Chi Feichi saw a young man dressed as a knight passing by in the crowd on the street, his eyes paused, and he quickly looked away, turning to talk to Conan, "No, are you hungry?"
Conan was worried that Chi Fei would run away to buy him food, so he smiled obediently and said, "No, I'm not very hungry, but it's just too boring to wait like this."
On the street, a young man dressed as a knight turned to look at the clothing store. He saw that there seemed to be young people and children sitting in the rest area. He looked away in confusion, then quickly showed a gentle and harmless smile, and raised his head to talk to the shop assistant on the street.
.
In the dress shop, Chi Feichi didn't look at the street anymore. He took out his mobile phone and quickly sent an email to the Feimo Legion's station in Akihabara. Then he opened the game "Plants vs. Zombies" and lowered his head to raise the zombies with Feichi.
.
He also didn't expect that a trip to Qiuye, a place with so many people, would actually be fruitful.
The young man on the street just now was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had short black hair on his forehead and long hair tied casually at the back of his head. He had delicate features and was wearing a white knight uniform. He looked like an elegant and decent man from the Middle Ages.
He is a knight, with a soothing expression and a smile when speaking. With such a good appearance, it is easy to win the trust of others.
Among the information collected by Ark, there is a treasure hunter with the codename "Crow", whose true face has been exposed. He is the seemingly harmless fifteen-year-old boy just now.
This is also a character worth talking about. So far, Ark has collected eleven cases of crow’s treasure hunting and reselling operations, and most of these operations are not uncommon, but the remaining three treasure hunting and reselling operations are quite legendary.
One was in France. A certain collector learned that a famous painting was missing in the collection room of a declining family. At the same time, treasure hunters of all sizes also received the same news and set their sights on the painting. They were waiting for a group of
When people rushed there, they found twenty identical paintings.
No one can be sure whether the original works are hidden in these paintings.
The collector brought mercenaries there that day. He immediately showed a ferocious face, went to the owner of the paintings and forcibly bought all the paintings. When he was about to take the paintings back, one of the twenty paintings was missing. The collector was uneasy.
I was in a mood to find an appraiser, and it turned out that among the remaining nineteen paintings, not one of them was authentic.
Three days later, Crow put the famous painting up for sale on the black market, and was bought by the collector at a high price. He also received a commission and helped the collector identify two paintings whose authenticity could not be distinguished.
Looking at it this way, Crow's actions are quite characteristic of the Phantom Thief. However, judging from the information learned afterwards, when Crow identified the painting for the collector, it seemed that Crow only wore black clothes and a mask, and went to the designated exhibition hall to take a look. The whole process took less than three seconds, and the authenticity of the two paintings has been a matter of long-standing controversy among many appraisers.
Is it possible that crows randomly designated a painting as authentic?
According to bounty hunters' occasional bad taste, it's not impossible. When you don't understand the mood of the person involved, everything is possible, but the shrewd collector completely believed in Crow's judgment, which also made Crow The statement "You're right" is supported by more hunters.
As for how Crow found the authentic paintings from twenty paintings before, and what happened during that period that made the collector entrust Crow with the identification work, and made the collector believe in Crow's judgment, then outsiders have no idea. Already.
After that, someone paid attention to Crow's actions and discovered that none of the treasures sold by Crow were fake.
While Crow was hunting for treasures and reselling, he also received many appraisal commissions. Among the appraisal commissions, he also did not miss a single one.
Although "seeing without mistaking things" is considered a basic quality of a treasure hunter, no matter how experienced the treasure hunter is, there will be times when it is difficult to determine the authenticity and special means are needed to verify it.
The crow is different. The ability to tell the truth at a glance is a very mysterious personal characteristic.
In the bounty hall, this kid is also jokingly called the ‘crow appraiser’, and there are jokes like ‘it would be a pity not to be an appraiser’ and ‘crows just like shiny treasures’.
This 'crow appraiser' is not well-known in the outside world, but the wanted price is not low. The people who are offering rewards are some collector enthusiasts and antique resellers, and they want to catch him alive.
Raising a ‘crow appraiser’ and getting rich is not a dream.
The second operation was related to these 'living' bounties. More than one Qingdao hunter tried to round up the 'crow appraiser', but they all failed. It was rare to organize a group of people and design a trap that was difficult to detect. The whole process was kept highly confidential, but the 'crow appraiser' noticed it when he stepped into the trap's periphery, allowing the ambushing Qingdao hunters to escape.
The third operation was much more interesting. It took place a year ago. It is said that the "crow appraiser" was involved in the operation of the F.C. when he was hunting for treasures in the United States. At that time, the F.C. was preparing to round up a man who had committed serial murders. A criminal who committed crimes, and when a detective was pretending to be an ordinary person, he was secretly approached by a curious young lady. When he was pestered by the young lady and asked, "Will you catch me?", the villain was alerted and escaped. .
Seeing that the operation failed, F decided to arrest the 'crow appraiser' who sabotaged the operation first, and interrogate whether the two were accomplices, but...
When two experienced detectives, strong and mature men, faced off against a fifteen-year-old boy with a seemingly frail body, they failed to arrest them. Even when surrounded by idiots,
Crow Appraiser also managed to escape unscathed, and even killed the escaped villain in the end and sent his head to F.
This is the first time that Crow's murder record has been exposed. As for how Crow escaped from the encirclement at that time, F.B. did not reveal the relevant information. There is not even an accurate account of the specific process, so it is difficult for the outside world to know.
After that, the ‘Crow Appraiser’ was put on F’s wanted list and was listed in a number of orders by the person in charge of the F’s authorities. The price in the Bounty Hall also skyrocketed.
Some people also speculate that the crow was originally the informant placed by F.C. among the treasure hunters. The so-called sabotage operation was just a lie to numb the hunters. After all, among all the leaked information, this young man's fighting ability and physical fitness are stronger than those of his peers.
, but it is not so outstanding that it can be compared with well-trained adults. In that situation, escaping from the encirclement is impossible no matter how you think about it.
However, the attitude of F is also very ambiguous. He issued a wanted notice, but did not actually hunt down the crow. He did not even provide any exclusive information, as if he had no intention of actually catching the crow.
For this reason, when he was eyeing this 'crow', he asked Fang Zhou to find every possible way to investigate this shot.
After such a search, I found more interesting information.
For a long time, the background of this 'crow' has been a mystery. No one knows whose child this is, and no one knows where this child learned his skills or when he became active. It seems that this child suddenly appeared.
A character.
However, during Ark's comprehensive monitoring, it was discovered that Shota, who was suspected to be a crow appraiser, had been to a certain cemetery and found some search records of this crow, which completely revealed the crow's background.
Not only is the crow appraiser not a member of F, but on the contrary, the crow appraiser also has a blood feud with F.
A few years ago, there was a Japanese appraiser named 'Nobu Saito' in the United States. His industry standard at that time was in the middle and upper reaches. He began to be employed by a well-known auction house. He occasionally helped people conduct paid appraisals and gradually opened up contacts.
After entering the auction circle and improving his appraisal skills, he invested in an auction house with a wealthy businessman and was responsible for confirming the auction items before the auction.
Nobu Saito's identity is innocent, and his life is going smoothly day by day. He associates with celebrities and elegant people, has a lovely wife, and a smart son. He is a standard template for successful overseas people.
But seven years ago, F. lost the opportunity to obtain a piece of confidential information, and temporarily decided to install locators and eavesdroppers on the auction items. At that time, Saito Nobu had confirmed that the items were genuine and the auction was about to begin.
The agent in charge of the operation made a decision to replace the original item that was about to be auctioned with a bugged imitation.
Due to the high degree of counterfeiting, the counterfeit product was not noticed by the buyer, and the faker successfully monitored his target.
When the matter has reached this point, it seems that no one has lost anything. As long as F forces the counterfeit goods back after closing the net, it will neither affect Saito Nobu nor expose his side's course of action.
It was just that in order to obtain more information, the person in charge of the F forced operation delayed the replacement of the fakes, which resulted in the bugs inside being discovered and the fakes being checked out.
The relationship behind the target that F is targeting is complicated, and many of them are gangsters. It is difficult to expose the fact that F is targeting, but in the anger of being plotted, and in the fear that F is almost finding out everything,
Amid suspicion of the auction hosted by Nobu Saito, telling the public about the fakes became the only way to escape.
There is no shortage of jealous people in the world, nor is there any shortage of people who deliberately stir up trouble.
'Is this intentional or a mistake?'
'It's better to send the previous auction items for inspection...'
'What an excellent counterfeiting method. I heard that Saito Nobu once contacted a master of counterfeiting. Could it be...'
Amid such comments, Nobu Saito's reputation plummeted and the auction house was forced to close.
After that, F-boy's people found Saito Nobu and said that they could take responsibility for it. They hoped that Saito Nobu could survive this period of time. After everything is over, they will announce the replacement of F-boy with genuine products to prove Saito's innocence.
During this period, the safety of Nobu Saito and his family will also be protected.
A very commendable attitude, but I made another mistake
Nobu Saito's only son Hiroshi Saito was kidnapped.
When Nobu Saito learned the news, the slander from outside had already put a lot of pressure on this proud and confident man. After learning that the child had been kidnapped, he and his wife began to complain and argue with each other, which led to his wife's collapse and despair.
He jumped off the roof and died.
About a month later, F forced the network to close, announced some of the methods used in the search process, helped clear Saito Shin's reputation, and expressed his willingness to help Saito Shinobu get back on his feet in the future.
For the man who lost his wife, children, and family because he was involved in the gangster operation, it was too late. After that, Nobu Saito stopped working as an appraiser and spent his days drinking in a muddle-headed manner.
of illegal drugs.
It seemed that in the midst of drunkenness and dreaming, this man could return to his happy past, but the reality was that two years later, Nobu Saito died in a drunken accident.
F was ashamed of this mistake in action, and decided to take it as a warning. At the same time, for the sake of F's reputation, he slowly let everything be submerged in the noise and endless new things.
This is the version known to insiders, a complete tragedy, and the protagonist who performs the tragedy is Saito Nobu.
From the information Ark investigated, he got another version of the tragedy, and the protagonist who performed the tragedy was Saito Hiroshi.
