Chapter 13201320【Pick me up. Pick it up quickly! 】

　　Vodka was silent for a little longer. Gin heard the clues and said coldly: "Continue."

Vodka could only bite the bullet and said: "Well, that's the case. Although the 'treasure' is in his home, the treasure is not the 'thousand ladles' left by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but a small amount left by Kajisuke." Jar of gold coins.”

 “Kajisuke?” Gin initially thought that this was another peripheral member who had secretly hidden the results.

 But considering what happened before and after, he quickly reacted and frowned: "Is it the legendary thief from the Edo period?"

 "Kajisuke" is a celebrity, famous for his successful robbery of Osaka Castle's treasury.

At his time, Osaka Castle was still a stronghold used by the Tokugawa shogunate to control the west. Tributes collected from various parts of the west and proceeds from the Nagasaki trade were piled here. There are several vaults in the city that contain money.

The vault is tightly guarded, with a thick door, windows and vents sealed with iron mesh, and the floor sealed with stones. The gaps between the stones are firmly cast, eliminating the risk of tunnels being dug.

But even so, Kajisuke, who was on duty at Osaka Castle at the time, still used his identity as a mole and his superb door-breaking skills to steal four thousand taels of gold from inside.

The voice of vodka soon rang from the phone again:

"The dragon and tiger scrolls that appeared in the two scorched corpse cases just now, which are the so-called 'treasure maps', seem to have been left by Kajisuke - when future generations see the thousands of scoops recorded on the 'dragon scrolls', they will It is easy to think that the 'Tora Scroll' records the burial location of the treasure, but in fact, there is only a nonsense sentence written on the 'Tora Scroll', 'There are indeed a thousand things recorded in the Dragon Scroll - Kajisuke'."

 …

As we all know, whether there are one thousand or nine hundred and ninety-nine golden gourds on a thousand ladle baskets is not important at all. What is important is its position.

But Kajisuke obviously didn’t intend to tell anyone who had seen this scroll, he was just here to take a look at the following treasure hunters.

Gin's cell phone was cracked silently: "..."

Beside him, Ganfanmao's eyes lit up, and from an angle that Gin couldn't see, he quietly stretched out his claws towards him.

 …

　　When Gin slowly accepted the cruel fact that "a thousand golden gourds from the Azuchi Momoyama period turned into a small pot of gold coins from the Edo period".

 The main river channel on the other side.

On a small boat with a dark appearance, someone was holding a telescope, silently looking around, and carefully observing every remote corner.

 Tomorrow, there will be a lively event in Osaka Castle Park—the opening of the Suzuki Museum of Art.

 At the same time, they received a warning letter from "Phantom Thief Kidd".

 According to statistics from the Metropolitan Police Department, Kidd has currently committed 134 crimes, 15 of which were abroad. He has traveled to 12 countries and has stolen a total of 152 treasures, with a total theft of 38.725 billion yen. He is a big thief who makes the police jealous.

 The person on the boat at this time was another terrible thief.

—The mysterious internationally renowned wanted criminal, Shi Kaobing.

　 Well-known thieves usually have some preferences of their own.

For example, Kidd is particularly keen on stealing gems.

The historians are focused on the secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty - the Romanov dynasty was the last dynasty of Tsarist Russia. On the eve of its demise, there was a legendary demon monk "Rasputin". He was deeply trusted by the tsar and his wife, and had great power in both the government and the public.

 "Shi Kaobing" is a descendant of Rasputin. She crazily worshiped this legendary ancestor and firmly believed that all the secret treasures left by the Romanov dynasty should belong to Rasputin.

Of course, because Rasputin is dead, the treasure should be collected by her descendants.

It is also to commemorate Rasputin who was assassinated and lost his right eye. Every time Shi Kaobing committed a crime, he would shoot the victim in the right eye.

 …

 The "Egg of Memories" that will be exhibited at the Suzuki Museum of Art tomorrow coincidentally attracted these two thieves at the same time. The "Egg of Memories" is also called the "Egg of Emperor's Easter". It was a treasure given by the Emperor of Russia to the Empress at Easter, lasting from 1885 to 1916, with a total of 50 pieces.

 This time, the Suzuki family found the 51st piece accidentally from the warehouse and planned to send it to the exhibition.

 …

Shi Kaobing thought of this and looked down at his phone.

 In the cold light of the screen, Kidd’s notice letter was spread out:

  [From the lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn

  When a clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word

I will appear from the shining pavilion and come to collect the egg of memory]

Looking over it, Shi Kaobing sneered silently: Kidd's puzzles have always been mysterious and very difficult to solve, and there are often more than one ways to understand them, but the only right to explain them is in Kidd's hands.

So she didn't bother to solve the puzzle, and she didn't need to - as an international thief, she knew where people would leave after she succeeded.

It just so happens that she is not very good at this sophisticated method of stealing. So Shi Kaobing decided that after Kidd stole the "Egg of Memory", she would kill the "Magician under the Moonlight" and pick up the treasure he dropped. When the police want Kidd, Shi Kaobing can leave calmly.

and…

Shi Kaobing thought of all the legends about Kidd, and in addition to disdain, there was also a bit of interest in his light gray eyes: A thief with a great reputation would definitely be more fun to snipe. It's a pity that Kidd doesn't seem to have any other treasures about the Romanov dynasty, otherwise he would have had an extra gain.

 …

As Shi Kaobing thought, he raised the telescope in his hand and looked around. Speculating on Kidd's possible escape route, he was also looking for the most suitable sniper spot on that route.

While looking carefully, she suddenly felt that something was not right.

She lowered her head suddenly and looked over warily.

 I saw a figure appearing in the dark water beside the boat.

It seemed to be a young man, most of his body was submerged in the water, and only a small part surfaced. He closed his eyes and drifted slowly along the place that could be reached by stretching out the oar.

 Shi Kaobing: “…?”

 …The person who was dumped?

  Is public security in Osaka so bad?

 … No, if you look closely, this man’s features don’t look like a dead person. There seems to be a slight rise and fall in the chest. It was more like attempted murder than dumping the body.

If another boatman were here, he might be able to rescue the person and call the police for an ambulance.

But Shi Kaobing didn't have this idea: It didn't matter if he was still alive, he would have died if he soaked for a while.

 She didn't pay much attention, and carefully moved to a place where people in the water would not see her, and continued to observe.

 …

 Two minutes later, Shi Kaobing finally found the sniper spot and withdrew his sight.

 The next moment, her hand holding the telescope suddenly stiffened.

—In the river, there are still the same people, the same posture, and the same distance.

The unlucky guy who was thrown into the water by someone unknown floated quietly past her eyes again.
