Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

A steel ball flew out from the wound of the prop gun, grazed the hair on the side of Chi Feichi's head, and disappeared into the surveillance screen behind Chi Feichi in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

The monitoring screen was shattered by the steel ball. As the fragments flew, the black smoke hidden in the steel ball exploded instantly, shrouding Chi Feichi and others in front of the monitoring screen.

Chi Feichi stood in the smoke, staring at a certain white-clothed phantom thief with a dark look.

How dare Kaito point his gun at him?

Before Chi Feichi's figure was completely shrouded in black mist, Kuroba Kaito saw Chi Feichi's gloomy expression, quickly turned his gun and fired several shots at other surveillance screens nearby.

Can't watch it!

Looking at Brother Fei Chi's terrifying expression again, he was worried that he would have a nightmare tonight!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Pieces of surveillance screens were shattered by steel balls, and billowing black smoke filled the room, blocking everyone's view.

Kuroba Kaito was relieved in his heart.

Okay, I can’t see it anymore…

In the chaos, Koji Higashi jumped directly on "Sunflower" and used his body to protect the painting.

Natsumi Miyadai shouted in panic, "Stop!"

Kuroba Kaito threw two ropes with heavy objects, tied up Higashi Koji and Miyadai Natsumi who were next to the painting, and pulled them aside. Taking advantage of the chaos, he picked up the "Sunflower" on the table and quickly ran to the door.

In the black smoke, Chi Feichi arrived at the door first, and at Feichi's reminder, he quietly raised his hand.

When Kuroba Kaito approached the door, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and was keenly aware that something was wrong. However, before he could avoid it, his head was hit hard by a hand, which almost made him cry out in pain.

After beating him, Chi Feichi took a step forward, approached Kuroba Kaito, and lowered his voice and said, "If you point your gun at me next time, you can just watch from the side when we eat next time! "

Kuroba Kaito was immediately dumbfounded.

What? Let him watch during the dinner party? This is not okay...

Other voices came from the black smoke.

"Mr. Azuma! Miss Natsumi! Are you okay?"

"It's okay, but "Sunflower" was taken away by Kidd!"

"Hurry up and catch Kidd!"

Seeing Kuroba Kaito still stunned, Chi Fei raised his hand and pushed Kuroba Kaito out of the door, "Hurry and leave."

Kuroba Kaito swallowed back the words that were about to reach his lips, turned around and threw two smoke bombs, and quickly ran up the corridor with the painting in his arms.

Although Brother Fei Chi had shared the recipes with him, and he and his grandfather had also studied those dishes, the taste of what they made felt just a little bit worse than what Brother Fei Chi made, and it didn't seem that delicious.

He will stop pointing his gun at Brother Fei Chi from now on. Brother Fei Chi can’t let him watch while he cooks next time...

…

After a thrilling chase, the white-robed thief flew away gracefully with "Sunflower", leaving only a mess on the floor and a Kidd card in his pocket for the curator.

There is a sentence printed on Kidd's card: [The "Sunflower" I just received, I am willing to transfer it at a preferential price of 10 billion yen. Two hours later, room 1412 of Dongdu Plaza Hotel was traded. Please prepare all the money in old bills, take the money out of the box and put it on the bed. If you can't do it, cancel the transaction. ——Kaitou Kidd]

Nakamori Ginzo looked at the Kidd card, read the words on it, and couldn't help but said, "You have to prepare 10 billion yuan in two hours? What kind of joke is this guy kidding!"

"So, what Kid wanted from the beginning was money?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Chi Feichi sitting on the sofa nearby and speculated seriously, "He had previously targeted the painting "Sunflowers" that Feichi bought. , maybe he also wanted to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money, but unfortunately he failed to steal the painting. He also made us more vigilant and put the painting directly into the vault. Then he thought that Japan's Kouga Art Museum also had damage protection With one piece of "Sunflower", I changed my goal and started with the "Sunflower" here..."

s??????.???

The director sat slumped on the sofa, "With the capabilities of our art museum, there is no way we can prepare 10 billion yuan in two hours!"

"There are two people here who should be able to do it, right?" Nakamori Ginzo looked at Chi Feichi and then at Suzuki Jirokichi, "But to mobilize so much funds for a painting..."

"Let me prepare the money!" Suzuki Jiroyoshi did not remain silent any longer. When the curator showed surprise, he added, "But I have a condition! If you successfully redeem "Sunflower", you must lend the painting to We exhibit!”

"Of course!" the curator said quickly, "If we can get the painting back, I'm sure the senior management won't object!"

"Then, can you please come forward to persuade the holders of the other five "Sunflowers"?" Suzuki Jirokichi asked expectantly.

"Don't worry!" The curator stood up and extended his hand to Suzuki Jirokichi, "We will do our best!"

Suzuki Jiroji laughed, stretched out his hand to shake the curator's hand, and found Chi Feichi looking at him. He turned to explain to Chi Feichi, "After the plane crashed yesterday, the holders of "Sunflowers" were worried that the paintings would be stolen. Come on, I don’t really want to lend the painting to me for exhibition anymore. I’m just thinking about how to convince those people..."

Conan stayed next to Chi Feichi, thinking silently.

He just couldn't figure out why Kidd wanted to extort money this time, but looking at the current situation...

Is Kidd deliberately promoting this exhibition?

Kidd knew that the museum could not mobilize so much cash within two hours, and also knew that Mr. Jirokichi's plan to borrow paintings for exhibition was blocked, so he asked for so much money and made the museum owe Mr. Jirokichi's favor. Lend the painting to Mr. Jirokichi?

"If I can redeem the paintings this time, the holders of the other five "Sunflowers" will also be able to see my determination to protect these paintings. Then the museum will come forward and persuade them to continue lending the paintings to me. " Suzuki Jirokichi explained to Chi Feichi, raised his hand and touched the top of his head, and said with an embarrassed look, "But Kidd only wants old banknotes, and the time limit is two hours, so it can only be obtained from the Suzuki Consortium's financial institutions in Tokyo. Institutions will come to raise funds. Just mobilizing the power of the Suzuki family may not be able to raise enough. It may be about one billion short. I am ready to seek help from other consortiums..."

Chi Feichi took the initiative to express his position, "If it does not exceed 2 billion, I can use emergency authority to transfer it out of the bank."

As long as Suzuki Jiroji is willing to owe a favor, he can find any consortium to temporarily mobilize one billion or two billion in funds. It is not impossible to even activate the entire bank in Tokyo and collect all the old banknotes.

Now that the Chi family has a good relationship with the Suzuki family, and he himself is here, it would be a bit awkward if Suzuki Jirokichi doesn't give him priority, so Suzuki Jirokichi will definitely give priority to the Chi family for help.

However, to the outside world, he is just a new heir who has just come into contact with the Chi family's industry. Suzuki Jirokichi is not sure whether he can make the decision to mobilize one billion or two billion funds from the bank, so he does not say it outright...

In short, it would be better if he took the initiative to bring this matter up.

"Then please help me!"

Seeing Chi Fei's late statement, Suzuki Jiroyoshi did not hesitate.

For the Chi family, it is not a big deal to temporarily mobilize one billion or two billion funds in exchange for his favor. This transaction will definitely not be a loss.

When the Chi family couple finds out about this, they won't think that the Chi family boy did anything wrong.

Since the boy from the Chi family won't be blamed for helping him, he can just accept the help openly and acknowledge the favor.
