Chapter 163 The Bronze Statue with Purple Pupils [4k Big Chapter Rewards and More Updates]
"That's it."
After some explanations from Director Ochiai, Fujino finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Eri is worthy of the title of Queen of the Legal World. After he was introduced to Eri, the director of Ochiai, she helped him win the lawsuit.
The lawsuit ultimately ruled that the transaction between the boss and the director of Ochiai’s museum was invalid.
But Ochiai ran into trouble again.
There are not many people visiting the museum anymore. If there is no new owner to take over, the museum cannot continue to operate.
However, things suddenly took a turn for the better a month ago.
The Suzuki Zaibatsu actually purchased the Medieval Museum.
When the contract was issued, he realized that the person who often came to him to buy some insignificant and strange collections turned out to be Suzuki Jiroyoshi, the consultant of the Suzuki Zaibatsu.
After the Suzuki Zaibatsu acquired the museum, he also met the Suzuki family's youngest daughter.
It was the little girl named Sonoko who came with Fujino that day, the daughter of the Suzuki family!
Ochiai started a meal of divine brain power.
Then, the scene changed inexplicably.
"Ahem, Director Ochiai, I really didn't do this."
"I understand, I understand."
Director Ochiai nodded, showing a meaningful expression, very similar to the last time he was in the museum late at night: "Even if you didn't do it, Mr. Fujino, you just stopped me from doing something irreversible.
It’s a great kindness. If it weren’t for you, I might never see my museum again.”
Fujino: "…………"
Well, no matter how he explains it, it’s useless, right?
If it’s useless, it’s useless.
Fujino sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, and then turned his attention to the other old man who came with Director Ochiai, "I forgot to ask from the beginning, who is this?"
"My name is Arima Kosho, and I am the curator of the Ekoda Museum. Please give me your advice."
Kosho Arima stood up and handed a business card to Fujino.
"It turns out to be Director Arima."
Fujino took the business card, which was printed with Arima Kensho's name, contact number, and the address of the Ekota Museum.
‘Ekota Museum?’
Fujino looked at the address on the business card and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered that Kuroba Kaito probably lived in Ekoda.
Is this museum opened in Kaito Kuroba's hometown?
"Director Arima is a good friend of mine who has been with me for many years."
At this time, Director Ochiai said: "Just yesterday, Director Arima's museum received a warning letter from Kaitou Kidd. The warning letter stated that he would steal the bronze statue with purple pupils at eight o'clock tomorrow evening.
."
"Kaitou Kidd?"
Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
Not just in the hometown of that boy Kuroba Kaito.
That kid actually wanted to go to the museum in his hometown to steal something.
I belong to my family.
"If possible, I hope Mr. Fujino can help deal with Kaitou Kidd."
At this time, Director Arima suddenly stood up and asked Fujino.
"Deal with Kaitou Kidd?"
Hearing this, Fujino pushed up his glasses frame, frowned, and said, "If it's Kaitou Kidd, it would be better to protect things. If we catch him... even I don't have much chance of catching him.
”
Kaitou Kidd is actually not impossible to catch.
It's just not necessary.
If Fujino wants to catch Kaitou Kidd, he only needs two steps.
The first step is to run to the door of his school and block him. The second step is to knock him out and take him away.
It's just that it's too much trouble.
That old boy, Kaitou Kidd, is like a loach, and even he is helpless sometimes with his wonderful little magic...
Besides, it’s good to keep it.
The Suzuki family gave him five million last time, and this time the museum also had one million. They even met him on vacation, and they even took the opportunity to spend some pocket money.
Judging from the current situation, Kuroba Kaito's old sister-in-law has become his cash cow.
If you want someone to cut down the money tree, don’t even think about it.
You have to add money.
"There is no need to catch him. We just need to protect our treasure, the bronze statue with purple pupils. The police have been arresting Phantom Thief Kidd for so many years. If they could have caught it, they would have caught it long ago."
Director Arima paused and continued: "I didn't expect Detective Fujino to know Ochiai. If it was Mr. Fujino who once helped the Suzuki Zaibatsu fight against the Kaitou Kidd, he should be able to protect the bronze statue with purple pupils.
Right?"
"Well, if it's just to protect items, I can still do it."
"That's great."
"But..."
Fujino groaned, and after a moment, he said again: "If you entrust Jin..."
"If Detective Fujino can protect the purple bronze statue, our Ekota Museum will pay one million yen as a thank you."
When Arima Konobo saw Fujino mentioning the entrustment fee, he immediately spoke.
"One million yen?"
Fujino's ears perked up when he heard this.
Although it is not as much as the Suzuki family's five million yen, one million yen is indeed a big temptation for Fujino.
It should be said that it is a lot of commission money...
——But what’s the price?
Fujino understands that not everyone is taken advantage of.
Without his deception, the other party would be willing to give so much commission money...
Don't even haggle.
There must be some unsaid secret behind it, right?
Of course, it is also possible that I am overly worried...
After thinking for a moment, Fujino stopped thinking so much and agreed: "Actually, Kaitou Kidd and I still have some unresolved grievances. Since you are so sincere, you have entrusted me to take over this project. You guys
Don’t worry, I will do my best to prevent that fellow Kaitou Kidd from stealing the bronze statue.”
"Thank you very much."
Arima Kosho bowed his head and thanked.
After signing the contract, Fujino looked at Director Ochiai and Director Arima as they drove away, and nodded.
Connections are so wonderful sometimes.
Maybe at some point, someone will come to you with an acquaintance to accept a commission.
The situation of Director Ochiai should be like this.
Well, thank you, Taylor.
The next day is Sunday.
Well, a welcome day off.
Early in the morning, Fujino put on a pair of sportswear and went out for a morning run.
As for Haibara Ai, although she did not stay at Dr. Ali's house, she still often went to Dr. Ali's house.
Are you studying the antidote for aptx4869?
Who knows.
