Chapter 1771 Gorgeous Debut (Rolling Around with a Round Stomach)

Artifact Exhibition of the Tokyo National Museum.

Like all the idiots who received the monster thief's notice and believed that they would succeed in catching the monster thief, the Tokyo National Museum did not choose to close or cancel the exhibition, but still opened the exhibition hall.

Not only that………

"There are so many people here."

Looking at the crowds of people, Fangzheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He thought no one would come to this monotonous cultural relics exhibition.

"Hehehe, it's all thanks to us, Mr. Fangzheng."

Flanda, who was walking beside Fangzheng, also grinned when she heard Fangzheng's emotion.

"Riko not only sent the invitation letter to the organizer, but also sent it to various media and news organizations, and even online media. Now everyone in Japan knows about it. After all, this is the information age. .”

"Indeed, this is the information age."

Hearing this, Fangzheng also nodded. As Frenda said, if the former monster thief sent an invitation letter, as long as he controlled it properly, the news would hardly spread. But it's different now. As long as you spread the news on the Internet and find a few media outlets, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to spread throughout Japan overnight.

"So these people are actually here to watch the fun?"

"Of course, this is the scene of witnessing the appearance of the strange thief. Who would let a normal person let go of watching this kind of excitement? Isn't this how it turned out?"

makes sense.

"But having said that... what does this notice letter mean?"

As Fangzheng was talking, he turned on the phone and swipe it. Just as Frenda said, the Internet is full of news that Lupine IV is coming to the National Museum to steal exhibits. And it also gave Riko's notice letter, which is the same as all monster thieves' notice letters, with completely confusing words written on it.

"Under the guidance of the shepherdess, I will follow the wind and welcome the child who longs to return to his mother's embrace——Lupine IV."

"Hehehe, Mr. Fangzheng, do you want to know? In the end, I still need to tell you... Actually it's not a secret."

While speaking, Flanda leaned closer to Fang Zheng's ear.

"As Lizi said, this shepherdess refers to the uncanny valley incident. Holmes first noticed the record of Professor Moriarty. The oil painting "The Shepherd Girl" painted by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Groz in the eighth century once sold for a sky-high price of 1.2 million francs. It was this oil painting that attracted Holmes I suspect that Moriarty, as a professor, cannot have so much money..."

"Hmm, so what?"

"According to Lizi, the shepherd girl's name appeared in the tenth row of the third line on page 12 of the Uncanny Valley case record... This is the time she appeared—12:30, but Actually..."

Speaking of this, Frenda smiled.

"That's the English version. If you change it to the French version, it's the first row of the twenty-fourth line, which is 24:01. It turns out that the police didn't find any clues at all."

"Hehe, Riko is really planning to persecute Aria."

Hearing this, Fangzheng shook his head helplessly. Obviously, the shepherdess is used to refer to herself, and the translation of Riko's notice letter is actually "Under the guidance of Professor Moriarty, I will come to visit at 24:01 and steal the treasure."

That's all, what makes Fangzheng even more interesting is that all the clues are related to Holmes, that is to say, if Aria is a real member of the Holmes family, then she should be able to think of this clue, but if She couldn't think of it in the end, and she was succeeded by Riko, she would definitely be ridiculed by Riko and hit to the point of autism.

After all, she is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes, so you can't even remember the deeds of her ancestors?

But Fangzheng didn't intend to intervene, it was just a little girl's prank in the end, if Riko really wanted to persecute Aria, among other things, she just had to transform into Aria, and leave behind her at the scene of the crime. Without hair or DNA, Aria can't say anything and can only go to jail with her mother.

Not only that, even if Frenda didn't say anything, Fangzheng also found out that Lizi played a little word game. The notice letter didn't say what day it was, but it was written "under the eyes of everyone", so ordinary people read the notice Han will definitely think that the other party is planning to do it when the Tokyo Museum is open, but in fact, even if there are only police here, it can be regarded as under the eyes of everyone. The live broadcast rights of ......

Fangzheng now understood what Lizi was up to.

If it is broadcast live on the whole network, it must be the focus of attention.

So...times have changed, folks.

Fang Zheng also shook his head when he saw the Butei students dressed as staff walking around, and the police officers who were on strict guard.

At the same time, in the curator's room of the museum, senior officials from the Butei, the police, and the exhibition hall were all looking at the notice letter in front of them with serious expressions.

"So far, we can only guess that the date announced by the other party should be today."

A high-level police officer spoke up, then looked at the curator.

"So, curator, do you have any impression of what cultural relics the other party is trying to steal? This 'child longing to return to his mother's arms' should be a reminder. Are there any specific cultural relics?"

"This... this..."

The curator is also sweating profusely at the moment, not knowing what to say. Of course he could see the meaning of the above, but he really didn't know. They had also heard the rumor of Lupine IV. She often stole cultural relics from museums in various countries and then returned them to their original owners. Logically speaking, the cultural relic that Lupine IV wants to steal now must be the same, but the problem is...

"We really don't have a clue..."

Finally, the curator bowed his head.

After all, to be honest, more than half of the cultural relics in this cultural relics exhibition were looted from other countries before!

Either way is possible!

"Woo..."

Looking at the notice letter in front of her, Aria also frowned. As an S-rank butie, she had never encountered such a problem. Aria had a feeling that this time the other party was deliberately looking for trouble for her. But even so, she still couldn't solve the mystery... This made Aria feel very frustrated.

"In any case, all we can do now is to strengthen our vigilance, and we will never allow that thief to succeed again! That guy deliberately posted a notice letter on the Internet and summoned so many people just to fish in troubled waters! Therefore, we must strengthen our vigilance, absolutely Can't relax!"

really interesting.

Sitting on a chair not far away, drinking coffee, Fangzheng looked at the heavily guarded museum, and nodded secretly. I have to admit that Riko does have Lupine's genes. She did this on purpose to make people mistakenly think that she was planning to fish in troubled waters when there were many people.

When there are many people, the security force will naturally be weak. Compared with when there are few people, it is easier to fish in troubled waters. This is common sense. But Riko did the opposite. It is true that if there are too many people, you will lose your concentration, but also because of this, the security work requires more energy than usual.

It's like a long-distance race, let others run hard first, wait until they are exhausted, and then take it easy.

After all, super-intensive security is very energy-consuming. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Um?

At this moment, Fangzheng suddenly noticed a glimpse of sight. He raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a short-haired girl standing there on the top floor on the other side of the museum, watching him. Seeming to have discovered something, the girl turned around and left the moment Fangzheng looked at her.

Reki? What does she want?

After narrowing his eyes and thinking for a while, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.

Forget it, we will know in due time.

Soon, the day is over.

"This exhibition ends today, please leave in an orderly manner."

Accompanied by the sound of the electronic sound, the visitors left the museum one after another with expressions of speechlessness and disappointment.

"Really, I thought I could see Lupine the Fourth Phantom Thief!"

"According to my reasoning, she should have appeared!"

"It means that your reasoning is not right at all. Come on, you are just a member of the reasoning club, and you really think of yourself as a detective."

"Hey, what a waste of time, I even took a day off and wandered here for a day..."

Seeing the crowd in twos and threes disperse, the military inspectors and the police in charge of security were relieved, and then the police department in charge of the on-site command quickly issued an order.

"Close the museum immediately, carry out an inventory investigation of all cultural relics, and block all entrances and exits!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Butei and the police acted again, and then cooperated with experts from the museum to count the collection.

They were even mentally prepared that some of the collections would be swapped or missing, but what people didn't expect was that no omissions were found until the inventory was completely completed.

what's going on?

"All in all, that's it for today, you can go back and rest."

Although the police department at the scene didn't know what was going on, they finally thought that it was very likely that their judgment was wrong. Maybe the other party didn't choose today at all, and now it's not the time to be in the spotlight. Most people should go to bed isn't it?

Although the Phantom Thief Lupine IV appears and disappears, he has never lied to anyone.

There should be nothing wrong at night.

Thinking of this, the police department also asked Butei, who was in charge of assisting the security, to go back to the school first, and at the same time let some policemen go back to duty and rest, while he himself stayed here and continued to study the notice letter.

At this moment, it was approaching twelve o'clock.

"The time is up, Professor Moriarty."

Standing on the top of the tower, looking at the museum not far away, Frenda showed a smug smile and looked at Fang Zheng who was wearing a mask beside her.

"Oh, yes."

Fang Zheng glanced at his watch.

"It's already twelve o'clock, and there is one minute left."

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...

Just as the second hand returned to the original point again, Frenda pressed the button in her hand.

At the same time... the entire museum suddenly went dark.

Not just the museum, in fact, the entire neighborhood went dark as a result. Only the brilliance of the flares in the dark night kept flickering.

"BIU———————bang!"

The dazzling brilliance shot straight into the sky, illuminating the already dark city.

"what is that?"

"Flare?!"

Sensing the strange brilliance from the sky, the police immediately stood up and went to the window to look out. The others were also dumbfounded.

What a joke, this is not a time of war, what kind of flares!

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Soon, a series of flares flew up, illuminating the entire night sky white. And this also woke up those people in the city who were already preparing to take a rest, or even had already taken a rest. They walked to the window and watched the strange scene outside without knowing what was going on.

"Lupine is coming! Lupine IV is coming, everyone, everyone beware!!"

The police department rushed out of the office in a hurry, shouting and trying to summon the guards in the museum, but what he didn't expect was that just as he came to the lobby, he saw a girl in a strange thief costume standing there, holding a vase.

"whee………"

Seeing the police department in front of him, Riko made a face at him, and at this moment the police department hurriedly picked up the gun and aimed at Riko. At this moment, other policemen also rushed over from all directions, pointed their guns at Riko.

"Hands up, Lupine IV, I'm formally arresting you now!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

Riko giggled, and then she stepped back as if dancing, while the police department continued to hold the gun tightly.

"You have nowhere to escape. The entire museum has been completely sealed off. Not even a mouse can get out. You should catch it! Although I don't know where you were hiding before, you can't escape here. gone."

Speaking of this, the police department is also quite proud. Just in case, he has put in a lot of effort. After the museum was closed just now, the entire exhibition hall was completely blocked. Now even if Lupine IV wanted to escape, he would There is no escape!

"Yes………"

Hearing what the police department said, Riko nodded.

"Indeed, it's very difficult to escape from here now, as you said, it's like a can, but..."

Riko grinned.

"If it's a can, you can also open it, can't you?"

As Riko's voice fell, the next moment, a burst of air burst out suddenly, and immediately after, the entire dome of the Tokyo National Museum was blown away with a "boom" and lifted up!
