Tokyo National Museum Cultural Relics Exhibition.

Like all the idiots who received the warning letter of the Phantom Thief and firmly believed that they would successfully catch the Phantom Thief, the Tokyo National Museum did not choose to close down or cancel the exhibition, but still opened the exhibition hall.

Not only that………

"There are so many people here."

Looking at the huge crowds of people, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. He thought no one would come to such a monotonous cultural relics exhibition.

"Hehehe, this is all our fault, Mr. Fangzheng."

Flanda, who was walking beside Fang Zheng, also laughed when she heard Fang Zheng's emotion.

"Riko not only sent the invitation letter to the organizer, but also to various media and news organizations, and even online media. Now everyone in Japan knows about it. After all, this is the information age.

.”

"Indeed, this is the information age."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng also nodded. Just as Frenda said, if the Phantom Thieves sent out invitations in the past, as long as they were controlled properly, the news would hardly spread. But it is different now. As long as you spread the news online, you can find it.

A few media outlets spread the word, and it is not impossible that this kind of thing would spread throughout Japan overnight.

"So these people are actually here to watch the fun?"

"Of course, this is a scene where you witness the appearance of a monster thief. Who in the right mind would let go of watching such excitement? Isn't this what happened?"

makes sense.

"But then again...what does this notice letter mean?"

As Fang Zheng spoke, he opened his phone and swiped it. Just as Frenda said, the Internet is currently full of news about the Phantom Thief Lupine IV coming to the National Museum to steal exhibits. And Riko's information was also given in it.

The notice letter, like all Phantom Thief notice letters, contains completely confusing words.

"Under the guidance of the shepherd girl, I will come with the wind and welcome the child who longs to return to his mother's arms - Lupine IV in the eyes of everyone."

"Hehehe, Mr. Fangzheng, do you want to know? I'd better tell you the result...it's actually not a secret."

As she spoke, Frenda leaned close to Fang Zheng's ear.

"From what I heard, the shepherd girl was referring to the uncanny valley incident where Holmes first became aware of Professor Moriarty's record. At that time, he discovered a ten-year-old record from Professor Moriarty's study.

The oil painting "Shepherdess" painted by the eighth-century French painter Jean-Baptiste Grosz was once sold for a sky-high price of 1.2 million francs. At that time, it was this oil painting that attracted Sherlock Holmes.

I doubted that Moriarty, as a professor, could not have so much money..."

"Hmm, so what?"

"According to Riko, the name of this shepherd girl appears in the tenth row of the third line of page 12 of the Uncanny Valley case record... This is also the time when she appeared - 12:30, but

In fact..."

After saying this, Flanders smiled.

"That's the English version. If you change it to the French version, it's the first row of line 24, which is 24:01. It seems that the police have not found any clues."

"Haha, Riko is really deliberately trying to persecute Aria."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. Obviously, the shepherd girl was used to refer to himself, and the translation of Riko's notice letter actually means "Under the guidance of Professor Moriarty, I will be at 24 o'clock

Come visit at 01:00 and steal the treasure.”

That's all. What makes Fang Zheng even more interesting is that all the clues are related to Holmes. In other words, if Aria is a genuine member of the Holmes family, then she should definitely be able to think of this clue, but if

In the end, she didn't expect that if Riko succeeded, she would definitely be ridiculed and beaten to the point of being autistic.

After all, she is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes, but you can’t even remember the deeds of your ancestors?

However, Fangzheng didn't intend to take any more care. In the final analysis, it was just a little girl's prank. If Riko really wanted to persecute Aria, among other things, she only had to transform into Aria and stay at the scene of the crime.

If the hair or DNA is released, Aria will have no choice but to go to jail with her mother.

Not only that, even if Frenda didn't say it, Fang Zheng also discovered that Riko was playing a little word game. The notice did not say which day it was, but just said "under the spotlight". So most people saw the notice.

Han would definitely think that the other party was planning to take action when the Tokyo Museum was being launched, but in fact, even if there were only police here, they were still under the spotlight, not to mention that Riko had previously applied to Founder for full network access through a personal terminal.

Live broadcast permission...

Fang Zheng now understood what Li Zi had planned.

If it is broadcast live on the entire network, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

So... Times have changed, guys.

Fang Zheng also shook his head when he saw the martial arts students dressed as staff walking around and the police who were on strict alert.

At the same time, in the curator's room of the museum, senior officials from the armed police, the police and the exhibition hall were all looking at the notice letter in front of them with solemn expressions.

"So far, we can only guess that the date announced by the other party should be today."

A senior police officer spoke, then looked at the curator.

"So, curator, do you have any impression of what cultural relics the other party wants to steal? This 'child longing to return to his mother's arms' should be a hint. Is there any specific cultural relics?"

"This...this..."

The curator was sweating profusely now and didn't know what to say. Of course he could see the meaning above, but he really didn't know. They had also heard the rumors about Lupine IV. She often stole

Take cultural relics from museums in various countries and return them to their original owners. Logically speaking, the cultural relic that Lupine IV is trying to steal must be the same, but the problem is...

"We really have no clue..."

Finally, the curator lowered his head.

After all, seriously, most of the cultural relics in this cultural relics exhibition were plundered from other countries in the past!

If you really want to say it, either one is possible!

"Ugh..."

Looking at the notice letter in front of her, Aria also frowned. As an S-class military detective, she had never encountered such a problem. Aria had a feeling that this time the other party was deliberately causing trouble for her. But

Even so, she still couldn't solve the mystery... This made Aria feel very frustrated.

"In any case, all we can do now is to strengthen our vigilance and never allow that thief to succeed again! That guy deliberately posted a warning letter online and summoned so many people just to fish in troubled waters! Therefore, we must strengthen our vigilance and absolutely

Can’t relax!”

really interesting.

Sitting on a chair not far away, while drinking coffee, Fang Zheng looked at the heavily guarded museum and nodded secretly. I had to admit that Riko did have Lupine genes. She did this deliberately just to make her

People mistakenly thought she was planning to take advantage of the crowds to fish in troubled waters.

When there are more people, the security force will naturally be weaker. It is easier to fish in troubled waters than when there are few people. This is common sense. But Riko does the opposite. Indeed, when there are many people, concentration will be difficult, but that is correct.

Because of this, security work requires more energy than usual.

It's like running a long distance race, letting others run as hard as they can in front, and then calmly take action after they are exhausted.

After all, super-intensive security is very energy-consuming. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will miss you.

Um?

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly noticed a sight. He raised his head and looked into the distance. On the top floor on the other side of the museum, a short-haired girl was standing there, staring at him. It seemed that he had discovered something.

, the girl quickly turned around and left the moment Fang Zheng looked at her.

Reki? What does she want to do?

After squinting his eyes and thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

Forget it, we'll know when the time comes.

Soon, the day is over.

"This exhibition ends here today. Guests are asked to leave in an orderly manner."

As the electronic sound played, the visitors left the museum one after another with expressions of speechlessness and disappointment.

"Really, I thought I could see Kaitou Lupine IV!"

"According to my reasoning, she should have appeared!"

"It shows that your reasoning is not correct at all. Come on, you are just a member of the reasoning club, but you really think of yourself as a detective."

"Hey, what a waste of time. I took a leave of absence and spent a day here..."

Seeing the crowds dispersed in twos and threes, the military detectives and policemen in charge of the security breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the police department in charge of on-site command also quickly issued orders.

"Close the museum immediately, conduct an inventory and investigation of all cultural relics, and seal all entrances and exits!"

"yes!"

Soon, the military detectives and police took action again, and then cooperated with museum experts to count the collections.

They were even mentally prepared for some of the collections to be dropped or missing, but what was unexpected was that no omissions were found until the inventory was completely completed.

What's happening here?

"Anyway, that's it for today, you can go back and rest."

Although the police department at the scene didn't know what was going on, they finally thought that it was probably a mistake in their judgment. Maybe the other party didn't choose today at all, and it was no longer the time for the spotlight, and most people should go to bed.
