The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 397: Qian Jiang's Little Thoughts

"what!"

Qian Jiang's terrified cry for help came from outside the emperor's room.

Everyone followed the sound and came to the place where the noble ladies had passed by before, and indeed they saw the owner of the cry for help.

At this time, the jeweler who claimed to be going to the toilet had one hand handcuffed in a secret compartment in the wall, and above his head hung a number of swords that looked very sharp.

And the glittering treasures placed in this secret compartment are actually the jewels that people so desire.

When everyone arrived at the room and looked at the scene in front of them, they were all surprised. At the same time, they understood - the jeweler Qian Jiangyi wanted to steal other people's jewelry, but was caught on the spot by the agency!

Thinking of this, everyone cast some contemptuous looks at him.

The butler, Sawabe Kuranosuke, walked forward with a cold expression, holding a bunch of what looked like a dozen keys.

He first waved the key in front of Qian Jiangyi and said,

"This mechanism should be an anti-theft device designed by Master Xiyi many years ago."

"There may be many more mechanisms like this in this castle."

"So sir, please be careful next time."

Sawabe Kuranosuke spoke in a caring tone, speaking like a warning.

Although the tone was very flat, the meaning contained in it was very clear - we will forgive your evil thoughts this time, but if you encounter this situation again in the future, I will not save you.

"Okay, I will pay attention, I will pay attention!"

When General Qian heard this, he nodded hurriedly, his tone full of fear.

His whole body was shaking, and his thighs seemed to be out of control. If it weren't for the handcuffs on his hands, he would have fallen to the ground.

I don’t know whether he was scared by the mechanism or by the butler Sawabe Kuranosuke.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Sawabe Kuranosuke nodded, then slowly flipped through the key chain with his hand, picked out a key, and used it to unlock the handcuffs on Gan Jiangyi's right hand.

"Click"

The handcuffs were unlocked with the key, and Qian Jiangyi was like a deflated ball. Without the restraints of handcuffs, he collapsed to the ground.

"Hoohoohoo..."

He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, trying to calm himself down from the fear of impending death.

Bai Masong also walked to Qian Jiangyi's side at this time, but his target was not him, but his backpack.

Inside the backpack, there are all kinds of tools, from as small as a thin wire to as large as a saw and even an entire electric drill.

It can be seen from this tool backpack that Qian Jiangyi has done a lot of dirty things like this.

Bai Masong rummaged through the backpack to see if there were any controlled items, such as firearms.

After checking, I found that it wasn't there.

Then, Bai Masong took out a high-intensity flashlight and threw it into the arms of Qian Jiangyi who was sitting on the ground.

"Mr. Jeweler, don't take this backpack. Use this one instead."

"I won't take it anymore. I won't take it anymore."

Qian Jiang nodded repeatedly, and it was obvious that he was frightened.

Seeing his appearance, "Shiratori Renzaburo" and Pu Siqinglan both revealed a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Both of them are big thieves who have roamed the world. They are very disgusted with people like Qian Jiangyi who commit petty thefts and get caught on the spot.

Although Maori Kogoro was also very unhappy with Qian Shouyi's behavior, he thought that everyone still had a common goal, so he once again tried to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Qian, just be careful next time."

"Our top priority now is to find the other Egg of Memory made by Miss Xia Mei's great-grandfather."

"really."

Kogoro Mori's words were agreed by everyone.

At this time, Kosaka Natsumi also looked at the policeman Hakuba Matsu and the famous detective Maori Kogoro.

"Mr. Hakuba, Mr. Maori, have you found anything after looking at these three rooms?"

"Well..."

Maori Kogoro scratched his head.

"I can't seem to see anything."

Listening to what Kogoro Mori said, Natsumi Kosaka felt a little depressed, but she immediately looked at Hakuba Matsu again.

Hakubamatsu felt Kosaka Natsumi's gaze, but he didn't speak immediately.

He looked at Conan strangely. Why did this kid seem a little depressed these past two days? Was there something wrong?

However, Bai Masong did not think much about it. After pondering for a moment, he first glanced at Sawabe Kuranosuke, and then asked Kosaka Natsumi,

"Ms. Xia Mei, is there a secret room in this castle that you know of?"

"Secret room?"

Kosaka Natsumi recalled and shook her head.

"I don't think so, as far as I can remember."

"However, I have been away from the country for many years. Butler Zebe should know more about everything in the castle."

As he said this, he looked at Sawabe Kuranosuke.

When the housekeeper Sawabe Kuranosuke heard this, his expression was slightly stunned, then he bowed and said,

“I’m not very clear about this either.”

"But I think based on Mr. Xiyi's character, he should have set it up."

Bai Masong listened to what the two said and nodded.

Then, he turned to Kosaka Natsumi and said,

"Ms. Xia Mei, please take us to your great-grandfather's former study."

"If there is a secret room, it is most likely in your great-grandfather's study."

"Ok."

Natsumi Kosaka agreed immediately.

Afterwards, he led Bai Masong and others towards the study in the castle.

A moment later, everyone arrived at the castle's study.

"Everyone, feel free to take a look around. If you find anything, please feel free to speak up."

Natsumi Kosaka was the first to turn on the light in the study and smiled at everyone.

"Ah."

Everyone nodded and started looking at it.

Bai Masong looked at the study in front of him. In addition to books and some necessary furniture, there were many hanging photos in this room. Basically, they were all of the same man, who seemed to be Kosaka Natsumi's great-grandfather.

However, there is a strange thing...
