Suzuki Jirokichi flipped through the newspaper with black lines on his face.

He just recently won the championship in a sports competition, and there have been no major events recently. The boss of the newspaper still has a good relationship with him. I thought that this time the headlines would be guaranteed, but who knew...

In the newspaper, the old man with a gray beard was holding a golden trophy in his hand and a beautiful golden medal hanging around his neck. He had a proud smile on his face and gave himself a proud thumbs up.

But look at the photo, it’s not as big as a child’s palm!

Look at the layout again...page six!

Suzuki Jirokichi tried hard to restrain himself, but he was still so angry that he puffed out his nose and knocked on the table and shouted: "Page 6! Why am I on page 6!"

"Uh..." The housekeeper looked embarrassed and thought about his words.

But Suzuki Jirokichi didn't need his comfort or excuse. He snorted coldly and turned the newspaper forward——

He wanted to see which bold guy actually stole his front page headlines!

Page 5... A mayor accepted bribes and committed suicide after the incident was exposed...

Well, it’s certainly more important than a ski race win… but this kind of news is only on Page 5?

Suzuki Jirokichi continued to turn forward——

A congressman is suspected of covering up a suspect who caused a major accident... A famous doctor secretly participated in human experiments and has been arrested... Beiyuan Group will hold a century gem exhibition. It is expected that the gems on display will include the world-famous blue diamond HeLa and the scarlet diamond.

Phoenix, Leslade green diamonds, colored diamonds Rasirlade...

The newspaper was accompanied by a large number of pictures to illustrate how brilliant, expensive and rare the many gems that would be exhibited this time were. Suzuki Jirokichi muttered silently, and he already had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Since there is such a rare gem exhibition, usually a thief is inevitably involved...

He pursed his lips tightly and turned over a page of the newspaper as if he was about to defuse a mine.

As expected, the one occupying most of the page is Kaitou Kidd!

Suzuki Jiroyoshi turned over a few other newspapers with a dark face.

The focus of various news newspapers is different. Some will put the soon-to-be-lost congressman in the front, some will introduce the Kitahara Group at length, and some will detail the contents of the doctor's experiments just to attract attention.

Introduction. But no matter which one, as long as they still care about sales, they will definitely put the photo of Kaitou Kidd under the moon at the top!

At the same time, no matter what type of newspaper, Suzuki Jirokichi always stayed in an inconspicuous corner, where no casual person could see it.

Finally, Suzuki Jirokichi finally found a newspaper that put him on the front page, but when he looked at the publisher, it turned out to be a company under the Suzuki Group! The other party probably didn't understand his temper, but they knew that Suzuki Jirokichi was interested in the front page headlines.

I yearn for it, so I deliberately made such adjustments in order to please my superiors.

But this only made Suzuki Jirokichi even more angry - do you mean that I can only get the headlines by cheating?

He angrily slapped the newspaper on the table and stared angrily at Kidd's proud and bright smile on the cover. He had already fantasized about eighteen ways to defeat this nasty thief and arrest him when his eyes suddenly saw

The word "Beiyuan" in the newspaper suddenly moved my heart.

"Beiyuan..." He looked at the housekeeper and asked: "The current head of the Beiyuan family is a young man about the same age as the Shilang family's youngest daughter, right?"

"Yes." The housekeeper bowed slightly: "My name is Kitahara Sosuke, I am eighteen years old, and I am a friend of Miss Sonoko."

"Oh?" Suzuki Jirokichi raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, it's time for Sonoko to get married! But Ayako is already married, so for Sonoko... it would be more appropriate to marry her, right?"

"Master Shi Lang means the same thing." The housekeeper paused and said, "In addition, Miss Sonoko and Mr. Kitahara are not in a romantic relationship. Miss Sonoko is more closely related to another young man named Kyogoku."

"Kyogoku Makoto?" Suzuki Jirokichi vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar, but he didn't pay attention. Instead, he touched his chin and looked at the word "Kitahara" on the newspaper.

"Hmm... speaking of which, I haven't seen Sonoko for a long time... the last time we met was probably in 753, right?"

Suzuki Jirokichi grinned and said: "Since Sonoko is friends with that Kitahara Sosuke, we should be able to ask Sonoko to help contact him, right?"

"Yes, you mean..." the housekeeper asked blankly.

"Ask the Kitahara Group if we are willing to let our Suzuki Zaibatsu provide assistance to protect the precious gems from a thief... If the other party agrees, we can fund part of the security funds, as long as the other party allows me to do some work on the exhibition hall.

A small change..."

…………………………………………

"Really? Is it okay?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was ordered to convey the intention of cooperation, heard Kitahara Sosuke's reply and asked in surprise.

She originally thought that she would be politely rejected. After all, the gems to be displayed cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yen. Who can safely leave such expensive property to others to protect it?

Kithara Sosuke smiled and said: "Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi volunteered to help me protect my property, so why should I not agree?"

"And I also saw his design drawings for renovating the exhibition hall. The opinion of the security department is that this modification indeed increases the safety of the gems and greatly reduces the possibility of being stolen. According to them-

If the opponent is not that Kaitou Kidd, then it can be safely said that these gems are already safe."

"Is Uncle Jiroji's design so powerful?" Suzuki Sonoko asked in surprise: "I wonder what mechanisms he has designed to deal with Kaito Kidd?"

"Well..." Kitahara Sosuke drawled his voice, and then said in Suzuki Sonoko's expectant eyes: "——Secret."

Suzuki Sonoko glanced at her mouth and muttered: "Stingy!"

She casually sent a message to Suzuki Jirokichi and received a reply soon. Suzuki Jirokichi was obviously surprised and excited, and even immediately set off to the exhibition hall to decorate, gearing up to make Kidd suffer a big loss.

"But this exhibition is really amazing!" Mao Lilan said in amazement: "There is also a blue miracle gem that is said to have been lost in a shipwreck..."

What she was holding was the internal atlas of this gem exhibition, which had photos of all the gems that would be on display. Only then did Mao Lilan know that in addition to the top gems mentioned in the newspaper, there would also be other gems at the exhibition.

There are so many precious exhibits.

Conan and Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly turned back a few pages of the album in their hands, and sure enough they saw the blue miracle——

The goddess statue made of gold holds up a radiant golden "sun". In the center of the "sun" is a transparent diamond about the size of a penis. Even in a photo of a few inches, you can see that the statue and

Gemstones must be very delicate and precious.

"Well, it's not easy for me to get these gems in my pocket." Sosuke Kitahara leaned on his chair and said with a smile: "Especially the blue miracle that was auctioned just a week ago. At that time, there were many people bidding together.

There is Mr. Jiroyoshi Suzuki. Fortunately, I have prepared more funds, otherwise I would have missed this gem."

"Haha, that's it..."

Suzuki Sonoko smiled dryly, but she was thinking in her heart - no wonder Uncle Jiroji's body pressure was particularly serious after returning to China this time. She thought that this elder had finally become calm after turning seventy, but it turned out that it was because he had just suffered

Got frustrated.

Suzuki Jiroyoshi is the second son of the Suzuki family who has a good relationship with his eldest brother. It can be said that since he was a child, he has wanted to get wind and rain. Everything he wants has been delivered to him, and at the same time, he does not need to bear any responsibilities. Good.

The tutors in the Suzuki family were very good. Even with such favorable conditions, Suzuki Jirokichi did not become the kind of playboy who bullies men and dominates women. Instead, he indulged in various sports that challenged himself and novelties that made him feel interesting.

Activities. As for any project, once Suzuki Jirokichi wins the championship, he will quickly lose interest and start to conquer the next problem.

Recently, Suzuki Jirokichi, who has always had smooth sailing, has encountered two setbacks in succession. One was that the blue miracle he wanted to use to lure Kidd was bought by others; the other was the front-page headlines he wanted.

Kidd away again!

Originally, Jiroyoshi Suzuki didn't know who the buyer of the Blue Miracle was. He only thought that both incidents were related to Kaitou Kidd, so he took revenge on Kidd.

But if...Uncle Jiroji knows that Kitahara Sosuke is the "enemy" who caused him to miss his first failure at the auction, he wonders if he will be excited that the other party agreed to his request...

Suzuki Sonoko thought this, feeling a little uneasy and a little expectant.

"By the way, there will definitely be a lot of spectators during the official exhibition. We will limit the tour routes and time. You will definitely not be able to appreciate the gems in a crowded crowd. So..."

Kithara Sosuke asked with a smile: "Would you like to accompany me to see the security arrangements the day before the official exhibition?"

This is equivalent to opening a small private exhibition for them in advance!

Conan and the others looked at each other and naturally agreed happily.

Kithara Sosuke also smiled slightly.

A few members of the protagonist group come into contact with various treasures in private at the invitation of the owner. This routine can be said to be very "technical". Although the real security measures should not be introduced or even shown in detail to unrelated people, although many times the Phantom Thieves

Kidd obtained information during such private tours and formulated corresponding theft plans, and even used their security devices in turn. However, no one thought it was worthwhile to arrange such activities in advance for famous detectives and large chaebols.

Whatever the problem is, it will remain the same next time.

In this case, it is reasonable for him to arrange such a private exhibition for his friends, isn't it?
