Chapter 499 Dishes and Buddha Statues

In this way, the investigation of this incident in Okuho Town has ended.

And because this commission was originally entrusted by Yin Tate Esuke to bring Kyoko to investigate, in the end, Takato, who helped Miss Kyoko who was temporarily unable to continue the investigation to find out the truth, naturally got the information from Yin Tate Ousuke. Commission fee.

Of course, although Miss Kyoko couldn't remember what happened after she woke up, Yin Tate Osuke was very grateful to pay Miss Kyoko the fee for helping him clear his suspicions.

So, after visiting Kyoko after waking up in Okuho University Hospital, Takato sent Koizumi Anko back to Ekoda, and then returned home——

At this moment, it is already evening.

After parking the car in the garage, Gao Yuan came to the living room and saw that Xiao Ai had already returned home from school. At this time, she was in the kitchen, holding a spatula and putting the two dishes that Gao Yuan had placed on the stove into bowls. middle.

After seeing Gao Yuan appear, Xiao Ai sighed helplessly and said:

"You are too arrogant. You left without turning off the stove. If I had come back a little later, I would have had to eat only charcoal tonight."

Saying this, Xiao Ai turned her head and looked at Gao Yuan reproachfully.

In response, Gao Yuan could only cry and laugh helplessly, then he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and operate it a little, and saw that the stove flame that should have been turned off was turned on again at this moment.

Seeing such a situation, Xiao Ai was suddenly startled, and then saw Gao Yuan operate the mobile phone again, and the stove went out.

That's probably it. After Gao Yuan showed Xiao Ai the effect of the intelligently controlled stove, he couldn't help but explain to Xiao Ai:

"It's not that I don't care...it's just that I have a case to deal with in the afternoon, so I just want to test the operation of the newly set up system."

After listening to Gao Yuan's explanation, Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with some surprise:

"So that's it... I thought you encountered something very urgent and even forgot to turn off the fire!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ai's tone suddenly changed from comforting to arrogant.

"But Haiyuan..."

In this regard, after explaining what happened on the stove, Gao Yuan looked at the two plates of dishes brought out by Xiao Ai and couldn't help but say:

"It hasn't been seasoned yet..."

Faced with such a reminder, Xiao Ai frowned slightly and said angrily, somewhat depressed:

"Of course I know this kind of thing! I also tasted it before putting it out of the pot, and I've already added salt for you."

Saying this, Xiao Ai put down the spatula in her hand, walked from Gao Yuan's side to the living room with a relaxed look and said to Gao Yuan in a calm tone:

"Since you are back now, it's up to you to continue..."

Saying this, Xiao Ai suddenly stopped, stood next to Gao Yuan, and said with a smile:

"By the way. These two dishes taste quite good. Please make more in the future. I like them very much."

…

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Different from the peaceful atmosphere in Akechi's house, when night began to fall, the atmosphere in the museum in Nishitama City seemed particularly tense——

Whether it's the several helicopters hovering in the sky above the museum, making a loud "buzzing" sound as their propellers rotate.

Or starting from the second floor of the museum, all the windows above are surrounded by steel fences.

And, on the ground, the police officers almost surrounded the museum.

All these signs indicate that the museum tonight is very unusual——

Because, as predicted by "Phantom Thief Kidd", the place where the gems will be stolen tonight is exactly this museum.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito was following Nakamori Aoko outside the museum after school.

"The sky above is full of police helicopters, and the windows starting from the second floor are all surrounded by steel fences... It feels like we really can't use hang gliders..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kuroba Kaito showed helpless eyes and secretly thought in his heart:

"Sure enough, do you still have to use a motorcycle to escape?"

"Ah, Dad, I brought the lunch box!"

At this time, when Kuroba Kaito was thinking, Nakamori Aoko next to him saw the police station Nakamori Ginzo who was at the entrance of the museum, patrolling the surrounding guards, and then took out a bag wrapped in a lunch towel. "Okay bento", he shouted in the direction of Nakamori Ginzo with a smile.

"Oh, Aoko!"

Hearing Aoko's voice, Nakamori Ginzo turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Aoko coming over with a lunch box, and behind Aoko, Kuroba Kaito carrying a schoolbag——

"Will Kaito come too?"

In this regard, Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but ask.

"Well, he said he wanted to see the Guanyin statue that everyone is talking about!"

Aoko walked up to Nakamori Ginzo and answered naturally, then turned to look at Kaito who was still thinking, and reminded him:

"Right?"

"Yeah."

Hearing Aoko's voice, Kaito couldn't help but return his thoughts and responded naturally.

Faced with this situation, Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but raise his hand and glance at the watch on his hand, and couldn't help but say:

"Well - there are still five hours until Kidd's announcement time..."

Looking at the current time, Nakamori Ginzo thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully:

"Then, just take a quick look, shall we?"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Kaito's mood suddenly cheered up, and he felt that the problems that were still bothering him were suddenly solved——

"Hehehe, even though Hongzi said something, it's still the same as usual, it went smoothly!"

Kaito couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

So Nakamori Ginzo took Aoko and Kaito to the exhibition hall where the Guanyin statue that Kaitou Kidd wanted to steal in the trailer was placed.

I saw that this exhibition hall was very empty. Except for a booth in the center, there was nothing else. And the Guanyin statue stood alone in the transparent glass frame of the booth——

This is a golden statue of Guanyin, about fifty centimeters high. A golden diamond is specially inlaid on the back of the head of the Guanyin statue to create a sacred Buddha light. It really looks like some Buddha light shines. mean.

"Wow--"

In this regard, when Qingzi saw the Buddha statue, he was instantly attracted by the light of the huge diamond behind the Buddha's head, as if it was really the light of the Buddha behind the Buddha.

"So beautiful!"

Qingzi couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes, yes..."

In response, Kaito responded accordingly.

"Of course, after all, it was specially put on display today to capture Kidd...a treasured Buddha statue that will never be shown to outsiders!"

Seeing the surprised attitude of the two people, Nakamori Ginzo said in a somewhat mature manner:

"Right, Abbot Niwano Yajudai?"

Saying this, Nakamori Ginzo looked behind him and said to the person over there.

There, I saw a nun in monk's robes, a white scarf on her head, wearing glasses, with her hands clasped together doing Buddhist rituals. She looked to be in her thirties.

And she is the abbot Nakamori Ginzo mentioned, Niwano Yatsuyo.

"Yes!"

In the face of Nakamori Ginzo's inquiry, Niwano Yatsuyo always kept his hands clasped together, and seemed to be very pious and compassionate when he said:

"Just one look at the majestic posture of Guanyin Bodhisattva, even that white thief... will eliminate his sins, change his past mistakes, and repent on the Buddhist path..."

"But isn't this statue a fake?"

However, before Niwano Yatsuyo finished speaking, Kaito approached the glass cover of the Buddha statue, carefully looked at the Buddha statue inside, and said with a slight disdain...
