Chapter 558: The Door of the Vault with Many Tricks

Chaki Shintaro was a management officer after all, and was much calmer than Nakamori Ginzo. He quickly gave an order: "Just in case, let Group A and the Explosive Disposal Team meet up and rescue Advisor Suzuki first!"

Nakamori Ginzo also came to his senses and shouted, "The rest of you, go chase after Kaito Kidd!"

"Yes!"

Ginzo Nakamori took a large group of people to chase after Kaito Kid, leaving Yuya and Miyano Shiho looking at each other beside the vault.

"They just left like that?" Miyano Shiho asked blankly.

"It seems like, isn't it?" Youye shrugged, "Forget it, let's go back early."

"Okay." Miyano Shiho nodded, leaned against Yuya obediently, and the two slowly left.

Halfway through, Miyano Shiho asked curiously, "So, when did Kidd pretend to be Consultant Suzuki?"

Yuya smiled and said, "No, Uncle Jiroji was real from beginning to end."

Miyano Shiho was surprised: "What? But you just..."

"Shh!" Yuya smiled mysteriously, pulling Miyano Shiho, and the two sneaked back to the room next to the vault, "Because, Kidd never intended to pretend to be Uncle Jiroji from the beginning."

Youya pushed the door open casually, and saw a dark shadow lying stealthily on the side of the vault door.

Miyano Shiho took a look and said, "Isn't that the maid?"

"Hey Kid..." Yuya looked the maid up and down, and couldn't help but twitch his lips, "Do you have a cross-dressing fetish?"

"Yeah," Seto Mizuki, no, it should be Kidd who looked back and didn't look panicked at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't you think it looks cuter this way?"

Yuya and Miyano Shiho's mouth corners twitched at the same time, but they did not answer.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Kidd twitched the corner of his mouth. What's wrong with these two people? They have no sense of humor at all. He turned around and continued to crack the lock of the vault.

While unlocking the door, Kidd tried to find a topic: "When did you know it was mine?"

Yuya said with empty eyes: "You were acting well until you were rushed to deliver dinner and bumped into Uncle Kogoro. I didn't notice it at that time. But after you picked up the coin, you wiped it with a handkerchief before returning it. From that point on, I felt it was suspicious."

Miyano Shiho suddenly realized: "Are you worried about leaving fingerprints?"

Yuya nodded, "Yes, maybe this guy didn't expect the coins to fall all over the floor, so he didn't wear gloves or anything like that in advance. As a maid, and the culprit for the coins falling, he couldn't not pick them up, but if he did, it would leave fingerprints. So, he deliberately knocked over the water bottle and spilled the water on the floor, so that he could wipe it with a handkerchief."

"Is that all?" Kidd asked.

"Of course it's more than that," Youya shook his finger, "The most important thing is what you said to Uncle Jiroji, 'help with something.'"

Miyano Shiho was a little puzzled: "Is there anything special about this sentence?"

Yuya said, "Originally it was nothing special. Do you still remember the fake notice letter?"

Miyano Shiho tilted her head: "What happened to the notice letter?"

Yuya paused, touched by the cute look of his girlfriend tilting her head. He suppressed his inner throbbing and pretended to cough, saying, "The style of that notice is obviously different from Kaito Kidd's previous notices. It is written vertically. If the bottom few words are arranged in order, they will form a sentence 'Help me do something'."

Miyano Shiho carefully recalled the contents of the notice letter, and suddenly revealed an expression of realization: "I see, but that notice letter was not sent by Kidd, who sent it?"

Yuya smiled and said, "That notice letter has a strong ancient flavor. Combined with the code inside, if my guess is correct, it is actually a letter of commission sent by Uncle Jiroji to Kaito Kidd."

"A letter of commission?" Miyano Shiho's eyes widened in surprise. "Commission Kaito Kidd? Commission him to steal something?"

Yuya shook his head, "Of course not. Do you remember that Uncle Jiroji has been acting strangely lately? He has to eat dinner in his room, and there are two plates missing afterwards. After dinner, he comes to the vault with a cane to check."

Miyano Shiho nodded: "Remember, is there any problem here?"

"It's not a problem." Yuya was about to say something, but when he looked up and saw Kaito Kidd's serious face, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this mechanism so complicated? Do you need my help?"

Miyano Shiho looked at Yuya in confusion. You have been reasoning so handsomely here for a long time, and it’s fine if you didn’t stop Kidd from opening the door, but now you want to help?

Kaito Kidd pointed behind Yuya and said, "Do you see the door behind?"

The two looked back and found several strange marks on the door, which looked like they were left by arrows.

Yuya raised his eyebrows and pulled Miyano Shiho to the side.

Kaito Kidd turned the dial on the vault door and said, "If I'm not mistaken, if this dial is turned wrong..."

"Click!"

"Whoosh!"

"Dah!"

"???" Yuya and Miyano Shiho were startled and looked over stiffly, only to see a crossbow arrow stuck on the door, with its tail feathers still trembling.

Miyano Shiho was still frightened. If Youya hadn't pulled her to the side, the arrow would have hit them.

Kaito Kidd shrugged his shoulders: "That's how it will be."

Yuya's mouth twitched slightly: "Forget it, you should do it yourself, I'm not good at this."

Although he could go to Brother Tongzi on the spot to buy mechanical skills, there was no need to do so. This thing would hardly be used anywhere, and there was a super expert here, so there was no need to waste it.

Kaito Kidd smiled proudly and said, "Leave it to me, an expert."

Kaito Kid continued to turn the dial.

Yuya and Miyano Shiho watched him "work" quietly.

Suddenly, accompanied by a click, a small door on the vault door suddenly opened, and the next second a sharp axe chopped down, and the tiles on the ground were instantly chopped into pieces.

Yuya's eyebrows jumped. He just noticed that the color of the tile was somewhat inconsistent with other places. Was it because of this? Didn't Uncle Jiroji know how to open the mechanism? Why did it trigger the mechanism?

Have other thieves invaded before?

"Kid, are you able to do this? You triggered the mechanism twice in a row." Yuya asked with contempt.

Kidd wiped the sweat from his forehead and argued dissatisfiedly: "After all, this is the last masterpiece of the mechanism master Sanshui Kichiemon before his death. Even I can't guarantee that I won't trigger the mechanism and unlock it."

"Don't make any noise, or you'll disturb me."

Yuya: "???"

No, you little thief, you still despise me for coming? If it weren't for the fact that this was Uncle Jiroji's commission, he would have taught Kidd a lesson.

But don't worry, someone is already waiting for him.
