MTL - How Real Wine Became the Light of the Metropolitan Police-Chapter 67 stone of life 1

In the end, it was solved hastily in such a way.

Mr. Kaito quickly left the police station with Nakamori Aoko.

And Xin Haikong finally set foot on his way home after chatting with these trainee police officers.

The sun had completely set at this time, and the lights on the roadside were lit up.

The night sky was a light blue, and half of the sky was illuminated.

If you go straight back to the apartment, you will definitely have nothing to eat.

The black-haired youth touched his empty stomach and sighed deeply.

well!

To be honest, the first thing he did was to find a subordinate who could cook for himself.

Otherwise, I would either eat in the cafeteria or just eat a little outside every day, and my life would be over.

Speaking of this, he dug up the strange "L" from a pile of messy memories.

The original old mobile phone was destroyed in the train incident, and the text message records are all gone.

But he still remembers a few of the text messages, and it seems that there is a mention of "L" cooking for him.

When he saw the text message at that time, he was extremely frightened and felt that his private life had been violated.

But thinking about it now, this "L" is probably not the future subordinate he found in the past, the kind that helps him cook and clean up...

The more you think about it, the more reasonable it is!

According to his character, it is completely what he can do.

And it's really interesting to leave such a small clue on purpose to frighten the past self a bit.

But this L should have lived with him at the time, why did he disappear later?

Replacing the perspective of the "he" who lives with L, "he" should be very clear. In a few days, it will be the time when the first "he" appears—that is, the time when the game starts.

At that time, he could not retain any memory at all, it was completely a blank sheet of paper.

And it is very easy to be led by the nose when you are new here.

Is it because of this reason that "he" at that time drove L away in advance?

If this is really the case, it means that the self at that time did not completely believe in L, and was not at ease to hand over the past self to the other party.

But isn't L his own subordinate?

These two are contradictory.

He regarded L as a subordinate and let him live in the house, indicating that he should have great trust in L.

If so, why didn't he tell L some of the information directly, so as to save himself from worrying for so long at the beginning.

Wait, he figured it out.

These two things are not contradictory.

He trusts L in life and small details, but doesn't trust L in matters of life and death.

He would rather trust himself in the beginning to be able to make a way out alone, rather than believe that L can provide him with any help.

L is not necessarily someone from the winery.

But it doesn't matter.

In the future, he must have paved the way.

L is not enough to be afraid of.

Under the dim light of the street lamp, the black-haired young man tilted his head and looked at the floor above the apartment where his home was located, showing a smile.

He believes in his future self just as his future self believes in his past self.

"Grump--rump--"

After supporting such a long distance with an empty stomach, he finally couldn't help but let out a whimper.

Now is the time to find a place to eat.

·

Poirot Cafe.

There are three or four cakes on the corner table, a young man with short black hair in a light gray turtleneck is looking at the newspaper in his hand while using a spoon to switch back and forth between cheesecake, strawberry mousse and tiramisu eat.

His coat was folded and placed on the chair beside him, and the dim interior lighting made him look extra gentle.

There is no contradiction between filling his stomach and enjoying delicious food. If he had to choose one for dinner, he would rather choose three small cakes.

— not because he didn't want to eat sandwiches anymore after seeing the little cakes in the freezer.

The reason why he came to Poirot was, on the one hand, because of the small cakes here, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see how Amuro was feeling.

After learning that his identity has been exposed, this guy will definitely take action.

The best estimate is for Amuro to honestly withdraw from the winery, whether it is to use suspended animation or to tear his face directly with the winery.

As long as Amuro withdraws from the winery, the other party will no longer be able to access the core information of the winery. So naturally, there is no danger of his identity being leaked out.

He also doesn't have to find ways to get rid of Amuro Toru.

Amuro Toru also doesn't have to worry about life and death every day.

To him, to Amuro Toru, everyone is happy.

But he also said it was the best case.

According to Amuro Toru's character, the other party may not be able to withdraw honestly.

His original intention was never to let Amuro do a desperate fight, so he had to control the progress of things in real time.

pity.

The black-haired youth took a spoon in his mouth and glanced helplessly at the counter.

There was still only a young girl standing there, sweating profusely in the heated room.

Made Xin Haikong embarrassed to order again.

He would have liked to have another half-boiled cheese for a change. A little too little cheese in the cheese mousse cake.

A man who works five jobs is amazing. If you do the math, you only come to work for a few days a month.

It's naive to imagine the new sea and sky that can block this guy in Poirot's Cafe.

He lowered his head and put his eyes on the newspaper in his hand.

Just bought this from a newly opened newsstand nearby.

He was a little concerned about the strange robber Ninomiya Tianbao he met today, and the Ninomiya Kenzaburo who spent 100 million dollars just to buy a stone.

The usefulness of that stone always made him think too much.

What's more, if he is not mistaken, the last look of a certain thief is about to send a notice letter.

Knowing a little more information never hurts.

What if he himself gets involved? This is not good to say.

After all, it was news from a week ago. He bought a large stack of old newspapers, spread them out on the huge table in the cafe, and read them carefully.

The reports on this matter in these newspapers are scattered in bits and pieces. To summarize, they probably talked about such a thing.

Ninomiya Kenzaburo, chairman of the Ninomiya Foundation, bought an emerald called "Stone of Life" at the Zurich auction. Although this gem is an emerald in name, it does not look like a normal emerald. .

The whole body of this gemstone is as gray as an ordinary stone. At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but if you look closely, it is still unremarkable, and it will make people call for a refund.

The only peculiar thing is that there is a bizarre legend surrounding this stone.

It is said that every owner who owns this stone has a long lifespan, and the previous owner lived until he was one hundred and twenty years old before he died.

Xin Haikong curled his lips out of boredom. At first glance, this kind of fake news was made up by the auction to deceive buyers, and no one would actually believe it.

But things are so outrageous.

All the older buyers in the whole auction scrambled together, and finally the stone fell into the hands of Kenzaburo Ninomiya at a high price of 100 million US dollars.

But to be honest, just looking at the legend of this long life, I always feel that this gem is the kind that the winery will also be interested in...

He turned to the latest newspaper, and the first report read:

"Kenzaburo Ninomiya, a well-known entrepreneur in our city, bought a gem at an overseas auction a week ago. Out of his love for art and his good desire to share the taste of the refined and the common, he is going to hold an auction at Rice Krispies at 6 pm on December 9th. This gem is on public display in the gallery."

The head is really iron.

Isn't this waiting for the thief Kidd to steal it?

Xin Haikong closed the newspaper and sorted out the pile of messy papers.

The little cakes on the table had been eaten before I knew it.

The missing Amuro Toru still did not return to Poirot.

He put on his coat and walked out of the cafe, looking out at the apartment building where he lived.

After roughly counting the location of his house, he looked sideways, and there were no lights in the entire row of rooms.

I hope that the family will not, and a certain policeman who is not in the class will not cause a major incident to him.

·

The next day, an office of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"...Xinkai, Mr. Ninomiya really needs your help."

The boss took off his eyes, and his black eyes looked at Xin Haikong with anticipation.

Xin Haikong bowed his head humbly, acting as a docile subordinate.

As soon as he went to work this morning, he was called to the office for a "private chat".

The boss moved it with affection and reason, and hoped that he could help in the search section and take charge of the security of the Ninomiya Foundation's exhibition at the Art Museum on December 9th.

"Professional security personnel should be responsible for the exhibition in the art museum. Did the Ninomiya Foundation call the police in advance?"

He lowered his head halfway and asked.

"Huh? Xinhai, did you go out too early in the morning to watch the news?"

The boss opened his eyes and said:

"Phantom Thief Kidd sent an extremely arrogant letter to the front desk of the Ninomiya Consortium Headquarters at seven o'clock this morning. The police were called immediately. Although the riddles and other messy things, the search class has not yet broken out. , but the four words 'the stone of life' are still understood by everyone."

Mr. Phantom Thief is very fast.

He thought that the Er Gong Consortium was not afraid, how could it not be able to hold the police so quickly.

But what does this have to do with him? He's from the General Affairs Section of the Public Security.

"Sir, I've been transferred from the search section... You shouldn't find me."

"Of course." The boss raised his eyebrows, "I know you're not from the search class. In fact, this matter was originally handled by other police officers, but the Ninomiya Consortium named their names and said that they wanted to hire a new sea and air police officer. I'm in charge. After all, this is what taxpayers want..."

God special taxpayer.

People who pay a lot of taxes are about the same.

What did the Ninomiya consortium do to find him by name? Was this also brainwashed by the media? Do you really think of him as a Kidd nemesis?

Xin Haikong suppressed the desire to sneer and straightened the corners of his lips.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to go, the main reason is that I have too much work recently..."

Actually not. There has been very little work recently, and he spends half of every day reviewing the content of the civil service exam.

The main reason is that he is lazy.

very lazy.

Social animals do not want to participate in any additional activities.

What does it have to do with the phantom thief Kidd stealing gems or not.

"Oh! Xinhai, why don't you get enlightened. I think you were quite interested in Easton's drug sales before. You are rushing to do that kind of thankless work, but you don't want to do this kind of sweet pastry. ."

The boss sighed in disgust.

"Something like this, let me tell you in a low voice, if you really do it, the bonuses are still trivial things, you can continue in the future." The boss pointed to the top, "When you continue to go up, Er Gong The consortium will stand behind you and **** you all the way."

However, he really didn't want to get promoted again.

His victory condition was just to pretend that the red side was not revealed, and he did not require him to become the chief inspector of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Getting promoted again is really outrageous!

"I know."

The black-haired young man bowed slightly, and the morning light fell on his fair face.

"But... I've been really busy at work lately."

There's been a lot of work lately, and the boss knows it too well. To put it bluntly, Xin Haikong is just a euphemistic way to refuse.

But the boss still refused to give up and continued to persuade:

"I heard that when you were in the search class before, you successfully stopped the theft of the phantom thief Kidd, and also exposed the identity of the phantom thief Kidd in front of everyone, and only a little bit caught the phantom thief. Now there is another One chance, don't you want to try again? Try to stop Kaito Kid from stealing the 'Stone of Life'?"

Seriously, is the organization really not interested in this stuff? It sounds a bit similar to the APTX4869.

"I really—" Don't want to go.

【Ding dong! 】

[Congratulations to the host, successfully triggering the sixth main task. 】

[The main mission 6 is now officially released: Please bring back the Stone of Life for the organization. 】

"Xinhai?"

The boss looked suspiciously at him, who suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, "You should think about it again."

"Don't think about it."

"Um?"

Xin Haikong stood up straight, the corners of his mouth curved.

"The last time I didn't catch the phantom thief Kidd with my own hands is indeed my regret. I couldn't be more grateful if you were willing to give me another chance, sir."

"I will definitely catch the phantom thief Kidd with my own hands."

I will definitely take the Stone of Life with my own hands.

"Hey, why don't you think about it earlier. The person in charge of the Ninomiya Consortium is waiting at the search section, and you can go now."

The boss smiled happily, the corners of his mouth grinning to the base of his ears.

"You don't have to worry about work, other counselors will help you share it."

·

The vehicle drove gently on the road, heading towards the remote suburbs.

"I really didn't expect that the famous police officer is actually you."

In the passenger seat sat an old man with gray hair. Coincidentally, he was the one who went to the police station to bail Er Gong Tianbao last night.

In the self-introduction just now, Xin Haikong has figured it out.

The old man in front of him is a character similar to a retainer in the Ninomiya consortium, and has the same surname as the master's family, called Ninomiya Jiro.

This guy has passed the lawyer's qualification certificate, but not only has this certificate, he is an all-round talent.

"I didn't expect to see you again."

Xin Haikong leaned against the car window, echoing emotionlessly.

His hand was still in his pocket, and since the system released the mission, until now, he hadn't received a text message from Gin to release the mission.

This is actually different from the normal situation.

He seemed to have found a pattern.

The first few mandatory tasks must be accompanied by text messages from Gin. Explain that these tasks are issued by the winery and must be completed by Moscato.

Later, for all the tasks triggered by himself, Jinjiu didn't take the initiative to send him a text message.

It's all about him going back and contacting Gin. The task of seizing the medicine in Easton Manor is like this, and the task of turning against Hirohiko Fangmura eight years ago is also the same.

So the same is true for this time.

He needs to take the initiative to contact Jinjiu and tell the other party that he is sure to get the Stone of Life.

But what should he say?

The first time was the organization's drug exile, and the second time was to instigate an undercover agent for the organization, both of which are needed by the organization.

But this time, he himself did not understand what the organization wanted this "stone of life" for.

Why don't you wait until you get home, and then ask around.

"Officer Xinhai, here we are."

·

This is a classic Japanese-style house, small and exquisite, with small ideas everywhere.

Black tiles cover every eaves neatly, and staggered bluestone slate bricks continue to spread inward toward the doorway more than ten feet wide.

The lush trees on both sides covered the scene in the courtyard, and only a few high eaves could be seen.

"Officer Xinhai? Go in."

Jiro Ninomiya had his hands behind his back and led him all the way forward.

They walked down the path, through the corridors, into the building complex in the backyard, and stopped at the door of the main house.

The wooden door of the main house was tightly shut, and there was some noise inside.

Jiro Ninomiya looked a little ugly, reached out to stop Xin Haikong, and waited quietly outside the door.

"Don't you just want to marry me off and leave everything to that kid?"

A high-pitched female voice came out, accompanied by a crying voice.

"I don't care what you think, it's absolutely impossible for that **** to marry you. I advise you to marry the gentleman I've ordered."

"impossible!"

There was a crisp cracking sound of a vase from the inner room, and then the wooden door was slammed open, and a young girl rushed out.

She was about twenty years old, her hair was messy, and she was wearing a purple kimono.

Tears were strewn across her white face, and her big purple eyes were full of hatred.

She turned her head and glanced at Xin Haikong and Ninomiya Jiro, and ran away angrily.

"That is…"

Xin Haikong did not restrain his curiosity and bravely asked questions.

Jiro Ninomiya glanced at Xin Haikong blankly, "That's Miss Ninomiya, the master's daughter."

The family is old school enough.

Xin Haikong pouted and stepped into the house.

This is a traditional Japanese house. The difference is that there is a Buddhist altar in the corner of the house. The incense on it has only been burned halfway, and it should have been inserted not long after it was inserted.

It seems that he is missing someone, but there is no photo related to it in the house.

There are all kinds of old utensils on display in the room, and any vase may be an antique.

The servants bowed their heads and cleaned the broken vase on the ground.

Xin Haikong bypassed the pile of debris and stepped into the inner room.

"Yo? Here it is."

On the tatami inside, an old man with gray hair and a thin body sat cross-legged, with a smile on his face, not at all the anger in his tone.

"Sit down." The old man gently pointed to the tatami on the ground.

"I just saw the joke, that's my eldest daughter, Yuko. She's making trouble with me for a little love affair."

Little things of love love love?

But listening to what you just talked about, it's probably a big deal.

It's as if the daughter fell in love with a poor boy, the old father beat the mandarin ducks, and wanted his daughter to marry Gao Zhi?

Xin Haikong smiled indifferently.

His eyes swept away from Kenzaburo Ninomiya's two hands resting on the table.

His hand looked like an old man's hand, wrinkled and old-fashioned, but at the same time clean and free of any soot.

Didn't he order the incense?

"Officer Xinhai, I read the newspaper before, and I heard that you are Kidd's nemesis."

The Black-haired Youth Daily smiled shyly, "That's all written by the media."

"You are planning to hold an exhibition at the Rice Flower Art Museum on December 9th, right? The security measures you are currently preparing are..."

"Oh, I didn't know at first that I would be targeted by Kaito Kid."

The old man sighed.

Are there any gems that Kaito Kid is not interested in?

What's more, you are so high-profile.

Xin Haikong was a little speechless.

"So, may I ask about your initial security measures?"

"Ah, this, we hired a foreign mercenary group. When the time comes, we will let them surround the perimeter of the venue."

hiss-

The mercenary group, this kind of people are used to the days of licking blood, and they will really kill people with guns.

I don't know how Kaitou Kidd will steal the gems at that time.

Not only Kidd, but even him stealing gems will become a lot of trouble.

"What about other than that?"

"Apart from that? Do you need anything else? As long as Kidd dares to show up, my mercenaries will use bullets, bang bang bang, to pierce that guy."

The old man made gestures with his hands and laughed wildly.

Xin Haikong maintained an embarrassed but polite smile.

"The rest of the details will be discussed with you by Jiro."

The old man leaned forward, his gray eyes rolled, staring at Xin Haikong and said with a smile:

"Please rest assured, as long as the Xinhai police can guard this gem, our Er Gong consortium will be grateful afterwards."

?

The other party's words are just ordinary promises.

But he always felt something was wrong.

There was some hair in the bottom of my heart.

On the bright side, Xin Haikong still nodded obediently.

When he turned to leave, he couldn't help frowning.

His intuition was never wrong.

Is this old man really as simple as he looks?

Why do you have to publicly display gems even though you know that gems are important?

Since the exhibition is going to be public, why not take security measures and stuff everything into the police.

And, most importantly—

In terms of the other party's behavior, he was not at all afraid that the phantom thief Kidd would steal the gem.

It seems to be very certain that relying on the mercenaries at the door is enough to solve the phantom thief Kidd.

But since this is the case, isn't the gem safe?

Why does the other party still have great doubts about the safety of the gemstones, and call the police for help?

It's as if...

This Mr. Kenzaburo Ninomiya clearly knew that in addition to the phantom thief Kidd, there would be a rival who was bound to come and would take this gem.
