Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 325 I bet there's no bullet in your gun! (Monthly ticket requested!)

"Uncles, who are you?"

Yuan Tai blinked blankly, not quite understanding who the three men in sunglasses who suddenly appeared were, what they were planning to do, and why he should thank them out of the blue.

They probably don't know these people and haven't helped them, right?

At least, in his memory, it was the first time he saw the three men in sunglasses.

Conan had some impression of the man with sunglasses and his group.

Because as far as he could remember, he had met the other person once in front of the Tokyo Tower.

At that time, he wanted to secretly find out about the other party's situation because of the other party's attire similar to that of the man in black and the suspicious look of the three men in sunglasses.

And I have the impression that when we were at the entrance of the art museum, there seemed to be some similar figures to those three men in sunglasses among the passers-by?

Wait... Could it be that these guys...

Thinking about the vague feeling of being watched along the way, Conan suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Could it be that these three men in sunglasses came here for the treasure map in their hands?

As for why he didn't think that the three men in sunglasses were worried that a group of kids like them would run around recklessly and get into danger, so they came secretly to protect them?

Haha, just based on the suspicious looks of the three men in sunglasses, he doesn't think that these three guys are good people!
And the truth of the matter was just as he had guessed. After thanking Conan and others for their efforts, the black-haired man in sunglasses directly revealed his true identity.

"Who are we? We are the real owners of this treasure!"

"Little Fatty, thank you for your hard work in this treasure hunt!"

"But now, it's time to return this treasure to its original owner!"

As he spoke, the black-haired man in sunglasses grinned, then put the two gold coins he picked up directly into his pocket.

Seeing this scene, no matter how dumb Yuan Tai was, he knew that the black-haired man in front of him had bad intentions towards him and the others, and that he might come to steal the treasure they had found. So, angry that the man in sunglasses actually wanted to steal the treasure they had worked so hard to find, he reached out and grabbed the black-haired man in sunglasses' clothes, and shouted, "Give it back to me, that's the treasure we found!"

Not to mention, the ownership of the treasure not only affects whether he can eat the most delicious eel rice in the world every day in the future, but also affects whether his friends' dreams can come true. In order to find this treasure, he and his friends have been running around since they left the art museum.

In his search for treasure, he even almost fell into the river and became a drowned chicken.

Now the black-haired man in sunglasses wants to take the fruits of their labor for himself just by talking?
What a joke! He would never accept such a thing!
It's a pity that even though his body is twice the size of an average child and his strength is outstanding among his peers, he is still just a child after all. Whether it is height, strength, or fighting skills, he is completely incomparable to adults. Therefore, his fist could not hurt the black-haired man in sunglasses before he was easily knocked to the ground.

"Ah, be careful!"

Seeing Genta being bullied, Ayumi and others immediately rushed over, wanting to help their friends deal with the man in sunglasses.

Conan was about to reach out to stop their reckless behavior, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Because Ayumi and others have already rushed forward.

Seeing this, Conan closed his eyes in pain.

Because he knew that he and his group could not deal with the three men in sunglasses at all.

Even though they have a certain advantage in numbers!

However, they have an age disadvantage. Even if their number is doubled, they cannot pose any threat to the man in sunglasses and others.

And the development of things was just as he expected. The loyal actions of Ayumi and others not only failed to help Genta defeat the black-haired man with sunglasses, but instead caused themselves to fall into the clutches of the black-haired man with sunglasses and be tied up with ropes by him and his accomplices.

Well, this naturally includes him, the real intellectual leader of the Junior Detective Team.

Even though, he did not rush forward to help Ayumi and others!

……

"hateful!"

With a bruised and swollen face, Yuantai's eyes were full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness.

It's a pity that no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't change the fact that the treasure map was snatched away by the man in sunglasses and others, nor could he change the fate of being beaten up by the man in sunglasses and others.

In other words, it was precisely because of his unwillingness and unwillingness to accept defeat that the man in sunglasses and others paid special attention to him during the "battle".

This can be seen from the fact that Ayumi and others also "took action" together, but he was the only one who was most seriously injured. Not only did he have a big bump on his head, but his face was also bruised and swollen.

"Are you okay? Yuanta!"

Seeing him like this, even though she was tied up with ropes by the men in black, Ayumi still forced herself to suppress the fear and anxiety in her heart and started to care about his injuries.

"I...I'm fine!"

Yuan Tai groaned.

It's impossible to be fine.

Anyone who gets beaten up with a bruised face, bleeding nose, and big bumps on the head will not be able to be okay.

But who can blame Ayumi for being the girl he likes?

As a boy, you can lose anything in front of the girl you like, except your face!
While Yuan Tai was enduring the pain in his body and pretending to be a man, the three men in sunglasses were not idle either.

Looking at the three men in sunglasses rummaging around, seemingly looking for something, Conan's eyes flashed with a strange look.

It seems that those guys don't know where the gold coins are! Otherwise, considering how much those three guys valued the treasure, they would have taken down the black mass on the ceiling and divided the loot on the spot. Why would they rummage around like three confused headless flies?

Thinking of this, Conan's eyes flickered slightly.

Perhaps, this could be a chance of survival for them?
As for the treasure, it is very likely to be priceless. If they can get it, then he and his friends will become rich and never worry about food and clothing! Oh, no matter how priceless the treasure is, you have to live to have a future!

If they die now, no matter how valuable the treasure is, it will have nothing to do with them!
After secretly glancing at the three men in sunglasses who were still searching for something, Mitsuhiko looked frustrated and aggrieved: "Who are those people?"

Conan frowned slightly, lowered his voice, and said, "I'm afraid it's an Italian bandit group."

If he still can't guess the identities of the three men in sunglasses at this point, then he would be unworthy of being called the "savior of the Japanese police" and the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" high school detective Shinichi Kudo.

Hearing this, Yuan Tai was immediately shocked, "A robber gang?"

They were not only shocked that they were only looking for treasure but had encountered a gang of robbers. They were even more horrified that he had dared to attack such a vicious group of people.

You have to know that the people in the bandit gang are extremely vicious and commit all kinds of evil and kill people without any hesitation.

When he thought about how "brave" he was just now, even with Yuantai's personality, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Ayumi had heard a little about the Italian bandit gang thanks to the news on TV. "I remember seeing it on the news. So, the gold coin just now is..."

Although Ayumi and the others spoke in a low voice, they were still heard by the black-haired man in sunglasses who was searching for treasure with his accomplices nearby.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he took the initiative to stand up and answer questions from Ayumi and others.

"Yes, these gold coins were robbed from a bank in Italy a year ago. Our leader Cabana planned this. But Cabana betrayed us and fled to Japan alone, carrying with him the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins that we robbed."

Of course, he could understand what Cabana did.

After all, if he were in the other person's position, he would definitely not be willing to share this treasure with others!
But understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that they can accept what the other party does!
Because, those 15,000 maple leaf gold coins not only belong to Cabana, but also to them!
And, Cabana, it doesn't matter if they don't escape, but once they escape, their interests will suffer great losses!

Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable to him and his accomplices!
"We came to Japan to chase that guy, and finally found him. But he had hidden the gold coins beforehand, and we don't know where he hid them."

"No matter how hard we pressed him, he refused to tell us where he hid the gold coins. These codes were the only things we found in his room."

"There is no other choice but to report his address to the police. Then we can use these codes to find the place where the gold coins are hidden."

Since Cabana is unkind, don't blame them for being unjust!

Unfortunately, although they obtained the time to crack the code by betraying their leader and thus found the location of the treasure hidden by Kabana, the code designed by Kabana was so complicated that no matter what means they tried, they could not think of a way to crack the code.

If they really couldn't find it, why would they place their hopes of cracking the code on a group of kids like Conan!

Shaking the treasure map he had taken back from Conan and the others, the black-haired man in sunglasses smiled even brighter and more proudly, "When we stopped at the art gallery, this code was blown away by the wind. I saw that you were gradually deciphering the meaning of the code, so I deliberately let you study it."

"I just didn't expect you guys actually found the gold coins for us."

After saying that, the black-haired man in sunglasses pulled out a weapon from his arms.

Thanks are thanks, but it is impossible to let Conan and others take the treasure away.

After all, putting aside the fact that the treasure was obtained with great difficulty by him and his accomplices and did not belong to Genta and others, if the treasure was given to Conan and others because the code on the treasure map was cracked by Conan and others, then were they robbing a bank just to do good deeds, risking being arrested and imprisoned?

What a joke!
"pistol?"

Noticing the shape of the weapon in his hand, Yuantai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Not to mention him, even Conan, who is always skilled and brave, couldn't help but become nervous.

After all, that was a pistol, and the owner of the pistol was a robber known for his brutality. Moreover, they were all tied up with ropes by the man in sunglasses, so they couldn't dodge even if they wanted to.

If the black-haired man in sunglasses is not careful, they will all go to hell today.

Taking in the horrified expressions on their faces, the black-haired man in sunglasses sneered and pointed his gun at Conan.

"Conan-san!"

His sudden action scared Ayumi so much that her eyes burst into tears. As for Genta and Mitsuhiko, their faces also turned extremely pale.

It’s a pity that they are now tied up with ropes just like Conan, so even if they want to save him, they can’t do it.

What's more, even if they had the chance to rescue him, they wouldn't dare to, let alone be able to.

After all, the power of a pistol is enough to penetrate anyone's body.

If they rush out to save Conan rashly, not only will they fail to save him, but they will also lose their own lives.

Putting the gun against Conan's forehead and giving him a vicious look, the black-haired man in sunglasses said in a very unfriendly tone, "Tell me, where is the gold coin!"

As for why the target of threat was Conan instead of Genta and others?
the reason is simple.

Because, as a tracker who had been monitoring Genta and his group from beginning to end, he knew very well that the biggest and main contributor to Genta and his group's ability to crack the code on the treasure map this time was Conan.

If he wants to know where the treasure is, he has to rely on the other party!

In other words, if there is anyone among all the people present who knows where the real treasure is, then, without a doubt, the most likely person is the other person.

"Where is it? Why don't you tell me right now?"

"It's fish!"

Feeling the hardness against his forehead, Conan took a deep breath, "The night view of the bridge outside is the same as the fish pattern drawn on the code, which is where the gold coins are hidden."

Looking at the treasure map in his hand, the black-haired man in sunglasses suddenly realized, "Oh, that's it!"

After that, he put away his pistol, walked over to his companions, and started discussing with them...
