When Shuichi Akai said this, Judy panicked a little and quickly turned around to find out what it was.
However, the human neck has its limits, and it cannot be seen from that angle.
"you come back."
At Shuichi Akai's greeting, Judy sat back in the car, turned her shoulder, and asked Akai to reach out and take off the small yellow disc.
It feels extremely thin and light, and it doesn't feel like there are any electronic components inside.
"Is this a sticker?"
James looked closer. No matter from the front or the back, it didn't look like a bug.
However, Shuichi Akai was more cautious and directly crushed the sticker into a small ball and threw it out the window.
"Has anyone touched you this afternoon?"
This was a bit ambiguous, but Judy also understood what Akai Shuichi meant.
“When the confession was taken, it didn’t seem to be there.”
"But if I was on the bus, I had been paying attention to the robbers in the car, and I might not have paid much attention to the back."
Akai Shuichi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind recalled the scene in the car.
Sitting behind Judy is the little boy.
The boy aimed a strange watch at the robber, shot a needle, and then the robber fell asleep.
"I see."
"Proceed with caution, Judy."
Judy got out of the car for the second time, and this time no unusual inclusions were found on her body.
"Maybe someone is investigating us," Akai Hide said as he opened the car door, got out of the car and picked up the sticker thrown on the ground next to him.
James was a little confused and asked: "But isn't this just a sticker prank? There are no electronic components in it."
Akai Shuichi remained silent and silently put the crumpled stickers into his pocket.
…
Back in the bus, Qin Zhibo opened his eyes.
[Detective's eavesdropping device] Although it is very high-tech, its weakness is that as long as it is removed by someone, the eavesdropping will be interrupted immediately.
But even if most people find the sticker, they probably won’t think much about it.
It's just a sticker, what bad intentions can it have?
As for the timing of attaching the bug, he used his conversation from the front to attract Judy's attention, and Kuroba Kaito took the opportunity to attach it from behind. The time was when the police station was recording a statement.
But what Qin Zhibo didn't expect was that this group of people turned out to be FBI from the United States, and they also knew him.
That Judy didn't know herself, but Shuichi Akai and James, who didn't know his appearance, knew him.
From their conversation, it seemed that the FBI came to Japan to perform a certain mission.
James may want to get him to join the team, but Qin Zhibo is not interested in this kind of thankless job, and it is not convenient for him to contact his old acquaintances now.
On the bus, I didn't recognize Shuichi Akai at all. This is an example.
Moreover, Akai Shuichi claimed that his father and he were good friends, which reminded Qin Zhibo of the man named "Akai Mutake" in the photo in the drawer.
Fortunately, the other party has no plans to involve him, which is a good thing.
As for what tasks these "former colleagues" planned to carry out in Japan, Qin Zhibo was not interested, as long as it would not affect him.
…
"Middle Ages Art Museum, here we are——"
The car's horn sounded, and the last three people got out of the car together.
Looking at the Medieval Museum of Art standing in the sunset, Qin Zhibo, Kuroba Kaito, and Koizumi Anko all felt a little tired.
We set off from Ekota Town in the morning and arrived at the Zhongshi Museum of Art in the evening. The journey was too difficult.
Let’s not talk about Kuroba Kaito and Koizumi Anko who have been living in the peaceful world. Even Qin Zhibo was a little unhappy this time.
I met a troublesome ex-colleague and a troublesome robbery gang, but the mission was not triggered and I didn't even get a piece of it.
In addition to the daily verbal commendations from Officer Memu.
The Medieval Art Museum was closed, the front door was locked, and the three of them walked in through the back door.
When I arrived at the curator's office, there were voices laughing inside.
Qin Zhibo opened the door and saw Terai Huangnosuke and Matsumoto Ryohei talking happily.
"Master!"
Seeing Kuroba Kaito coming, Terai Kinosuke quickly stood up from the sofa, walked to the front and asked with concern: "I heard that you encountered a bus robber, are you not injured?"
Kuroba Kaito was not as frivolous as before, he just shook his head slightly and looked at Matsumoto Ryohei.
Matsumoto Ryohei also understood immediately, stood up, straightened the hem of his suit, and walked out.
"Everyone, please come with me."
Walking on the corridor of the art museum, a group of people followed Matsumoto Ryohei.
Kuroba Kaito leaned against Terai Kinosuke's ear and asked quietly: "Dad, you didn't tell that guy too much about us, did you?"
"No, Mr. Matsumoto didn't ask anything about the Phantom Thieves. He mainly talked about art, art identification, and food."
"gourmet food?"
Kuroba Kaito was a little puzzled. After all, Terai Konosuke was the assistant of the two Kaitou Kidd. It was normal for him to have knowledge of fine arts and works of art. Food was...
Forget it, as long as you don't ask about the Phantom Thieves.
Koizumi Anko, who was walking at the back, looked curiously at the collection of the Medieval Art Museum. She did not feel at all that some of the exhibits inside were a bit underworld, and she even looked interested.
“This art museum has good taste~”
"Thank you for the compliment, miss."
Matsumoto Ryohei, who was walking in front, heard Koizumi Anko's praise and tilted his head to greet him.
Suddenly, a statue attracted Koizumi Hongzi's attention.
This is the hell exhibition hall. There are some weird shapes placed in it, but this statue is particularly special.
This is a traditional body image of a winged demon, but its face has no facial features, and its head has two slightly curved sharp horns.
Qin Zhibo remembered that this statue was placed in the mansion where the "pseudo-mother" was found. This "pseudo-mother" was disguised as his own mother, not the kind of Aso Minoru.
The original owner of this mansion was a student of Matsumoto Ryohei's father. Later, after the case was resolved, all the horrific statues in the mansion were acquired by Matsumoto Ryohei.
Koizumi Anko stopped in front of the statue, not hiding her interest in it at all.
"You go ahead, I'll take a look here."
Kuroba Kaito felt happy and quickly dragged Terai Kinosuke forward.
Although Koizumi Anko has long used unscientific means to find out her identity, Kuroba Kaito has yet to admit it personally, so he just sticks out.
But as soon as Koizumi Anko saw the painting "Monster Thief", all objections became pale and feeble.
Without Koizumi Hongzi's interruption, everything was just fine.
Just like that, Koizumi Hongzi left the team, and the remaining people came to the art appraisal room.
Matsumoto Ryohei took out the key and opened the door. The painting "The Phantom Thief Under the Moon" had been placed on the X-ray scanning table.
