Have you checked your eyes, is it the gem you want?
Qin Zhibo really did not expect this situation, because Kuroyu and his son have been committing crimes as Kaitou Kidd for many years and have stolen more than 100 gems.
Pandora was not found among these more than 100 gems. How could it be such a coincidence that this gem happened to contain the Pandora that was crucial to both the Beast Brotherhood and Kaito Kidd?
and...
"Wait a minute, who is Mr. JP Tana you are talking about?"
Matsumoto Ryohei called up the information on the web page and introduced: "Mr. Tana is a world-famous gem collector and sculptor, British."
"Mr. Tana is also one of the few private collectors in the world who is willing to put his gemstones on public display. However, for each exhibition, Mr. Tana needs the gemstone exhibition to be designed according to his personal interests."
Qin Zhibo nodded, "That means the exhibits displayed this time are not the first time?"
"That's right... Mr. Tana first held exhibitions in various European countries."
That'll be easier...
Qin Zhibo smiled knowingly and thought clearly about the logic.
This is not the first time that the world's largest pink gemstone has been put on public display, and it was first exhibited in Europe.
Whether it is Baron Hauptmann who is German, Natsume who lives in France, or Spider who mainly tours in Europe...
Judging from the information currently available, the headquarters of the Beast Brotherhood is likely to be in Europe, so the Beast Brotherhood must have confirmed the ingredients in the gem in advance.
If there is "Pandora", the Stone of Life that their organization is searching for, there is no way this gem will flow into Japan again.
"Don't worry..." Qin Zhibo patted Matsumoto Ryohei's shoulder comfortingly, "That gem will definitely not be the gem Kid wants."
"Believe me."
Looking at Qin Zhibo's firm eyes, Matsumoto Ryohei struggled internally for two seconds.
"Ok, I trust you."
Matsumoto Ryohei jumped the computer page to a platform capable of real-time Internet communication and entered content in the dialog box.
[Matsumoto Ryohei: Mr. Tana, when will the gemstones to be displayed at the gem show arrive in Tokyo, Japan? 】
Matsumoto Ryohei's English is pretty good. Although Qin Zhibo has never seen him speak, the English in the input dialog box is grammatically correct and logically smooth.
This reminded Qin Zhibo of the first time they met to investigate Matsumoto Ryohei. The first among Matsumoto Ryohei's skills was language.
If you can only use your mother tongue, it will not be regarded as mastering language skills.
After waiting for more than half a minute, the other person responded.
[JP Tana: At 9:00 in the morning on Wednesday next week, my private plane will deliver all the gems from this exhibition to Tokyo Haneda Airport]
[Matsumoto Ryohei: Mr. Tana, don’t you plan to come to Japan this time? 】
[JP Tana: Unfortunately, I still have some unfinished business in the UK, so I ask you to help me take care of my "Ladies"]
[Matsumoto Ryohei: I will try my best, please rest assured]
When the conversation ended, Qin Zhibo watched the entire conversation clearly.
From what Mr. Tana said, Qin Zhibo could not tell at all that he was worried about the safety of these gems.
He should have already known that the gem was being targeted by Kaitou Kidd, but he was so calm that he didn't even plan to come over to supervise it personally.
Something strange...
After finishing the conversation, Matsumoto Ryohei turned his chair and said: "The gems will not arrive in Japan until next week, so the confirmation by Kaitou Kidd will not be until next week..."
This is exactly what Qin Zhibo wants. After all, Qin Zhibo still needs to explain some things to Kaitou Kidd before he can finally establish this plan.
...
At the same time, in a richly decorated high-end study room in London, England, a man with a standard British gentleman's beard closed the dialog box on the computer screen.
The conversation above is exactly what I just had with a person named Matsumoto Ryohei.
After closing this dialog box, the man opened another dialog box.
[JP Tana: The gems will be shipped to Japan for public exhibition next Wednesday]
【?:Thanks a lot】
[JP Tana: It is an honor to play for Baron]
...
"By the way..." Matsumoto Ryohei was collecting water at the water dispenser when he suddenly said, "I need your help with something."
"In the Dongdu Mountain area where my father's villa is located, there is an old blue castle."
"The old owner of that old castle is a world-renowned historian and a close friend of my father. My father was inspired by that old gentleman to build a villa there."
"Before the old master passed away, I would occasionally visit the Blue Castle."
"Fifteen years ago, after the old owner of the castle passed away, he left a mystery in the courtyard about a large treasure hidden in the castle."
"Recently, a descendant of the old owner of the castle contacted me and hoped that I could introduce a reliable detective in Tokyo to help him solve the mystery."
"So I was thinking of you..."
Qin Zhibo once again lamented that Matsumoto Ryohei's connections were really wide.
In other words, it’s because Matsumoto Ryohei’s father is really well-connected.
The owner of the bungalow is his father's student, the owner of the castle is his father's friend, and the gem collector is also his father's friend...
Of course, Qin Zhibo will take over Matsumoto Ryohei's commission.
After all, Matsumoto Ryohei had just done himself a big favor, and what if there was any unexpected gain from this trip to the castle?
"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have any ongoing commissions recently."
"when to go?"
Matsumoto Ryohei picked up the car keys on the table and said with a smile: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's set off today..."
Since the museum has to arrange scenes related to the gem exhibition, the museum is closed today, so Matsumoto Ryohei can skip work with peace of mind.
He drove Qin Zhibo and headed straight to the Dongdu Mountain area.
The whole journey was silent.
...
It was almost noon when a light blue old castle building emerged from the dense forest at the end of the line of sight.
If you see this kind of castle-shaped building for the first time, you will definitely sigh in surprise.
But Qin Zhibo had already seen the castle before in Yokosuka, so it felt stale now.
Qin Zhibo checked his navigator and found that the castle in front of him was not marked on it because this kind of castle belonged to private territory.
As the car approached further, Qin Zhibo saw the entire castle in full.
The wall with light blue gradient color is unknown whether it is a time-honored simplicity or a deliberate color understanding. The straight and regular castle has a well-proportioned chimney and spire structure.
Compared with the German castle in Yokosuka, this castle is obviously more modern in terms of construction style and time, and lacks a lot of quaint temperament.
