Have You Confessed Your Love Today? Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Preview

Because I just met Nanase Miyuki yesterday, when everyone set out together the next day, the three female high school students Suzuki Sonoko, Maori Ran, Toyama and Ye were still whispering and discussing topics such as ‘wedding’ and ‘future’ in low voices. Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan were also distracted, blushing from time to time.

Akechi Kengo walked with these high school students and felt that the surroundings were filled with youthful atmosphere.

Arriving at the Wakamatsu residence, the housekeeper of the Wakamatsu family introduced the group into the house.Suzuki Jirokichi and the police officers from the Second Search Division had arrived long ago and are now working hard to turn Wakamatsu House into an iron barrel.

Nakamori Ginzo felt a headache when he saw this group of people who were just on an outing: “You idlers…”

Everyone parted ways in tacit understanding, revealing the wisdom behind them.

Officer Zhongmori, who was about to lose his temper, choked up and stammered: “…Akechi Police Inspector, why are you here?”

“I’m also a little interested in Kaitou Kidd, so I came uninvited.” Kengo Akechi asked politely, “I shouldn’t disturb the Nakamori Police Department.”

“…No.” Nakamori Police Department said dryly, “You have solved Kaitou Kidd’s warning letter, maybe you can give us some guidance.”

When everyone heard the name Akechi Kengo from the Zhongsen Police Department, they all paid attention to Akechi Kengo.

The spirited old man and his family members walked towards Akechi Kengo and the others, and extended their hands enthusiastically: “It’s a great honor for Akechi Police Masada to come here.” He introduced himself, “I am Akio Wakamatsu, and these are my wife Kotoko, my son Yota, my eldest daughter Shuko and my youngest daughter Miko.”

Following his introduction, everyone’s eyes glanced at the three women around him who looked to be about the same age.

Yuan Shan and Ye said enviously: “My wife takes good care of herself, she looks like sisters.”

Wakamatsu Shuko laughed sarcastically: “It’s okay to say they are sisters, my little mother is two years younger than me.”

“Huh?” Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Mrs. Wakamatsu was also at a loss.

“Sister, there’s no need to be so mean.” Wakamatsu Yota frowned and looked at Wakamatsu Shuko dissatisfied.

Wakamatsu Shuzi said in a strange tone: “Of course you are facing her.”

“Shuzi!” Wakamatsu Akio stopped him in a deep voice.

Wakamatsu Shuzi sneered, but it was a shame to say nothing more.

“It’s a joke for you.” Akio Wakamatsu looked at Akechi Kengo and praised him, “Akechi Kengo is really young and promising. If my son has the ability like you, I don’t have to worry about having no successor.”

Suzuki Sonoko interrupted their greetings and asked: “Mr. Wakamatsu, where is my uncle?”

“Mr. Suzuki is staying with Gem. He said that he wants to personally observe the security measures to avoid any early manipulation by Kidd.” Akio Wakamatsu said, “I will take you there. Are these all friends of Miss Suzuki?”

Hattori Heiji squatted and complained to Edogawa Conan: “What, this old man completely ignored us!”

Suzuki Sonoko introduced one by one: “This is my good friend, Mouri Ran, the daughter of Kogoro Moori. This is the son of the Osaka Police Headquarters police inspector and a famous high school detective in Kansai, Hattori Heiji. This is Hattori Heiji’s childhood sweetheart, and the daughter of the Toyama Criminal Affairs Director of the Osaka Police Headquarters, Toyama Kazuha. This is Conan who lives in Xiaolan’s house.”

“Hello.” The young people greeted Akio Wakamatsu politely.Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuye looked at Suzuki Sonoko in confusion.

Wakamatsu Akio said enthusiastically: “As expected, Ms. Suzuki’s friends are all young talents. It just so happens that Meiko is the same age as you. It should be easier for you to talk to others of your age.”

“Let’s hurry up and see the gems.” Hattori Heiji suppressed his impatience and said enthusiastically, “I can’t wait!”

“Well, with so many industry leaders here this time, Kidd will be at a loss what to do.” Akio Wakamatsu led everyone towards the room where the gem was.

Everyone followed him, Mao Lilan and Toyama Heye talked quietly with Suzuki Sonoko.

“Yuanzi, you just…”

“The wording of our introduction was strange.”

Suzuki Sonoko sighed, glanced at Akio Wakamatsu’s back cautiously, and replied in a low voice: “This is what Mr. Wakamatsu is like. Anyway, we will only come into contact with him this time, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Mao Lilan and Yuan Shanhe Ye looked at each other.

Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan were at the back of the team.Hattori Heiji said speechlessly: “This Mr. Wakamatsu’s snobbery is too obvious!”

Edogawa Conan didn’t take it seriously, and focused all his attention on Kaitou Kid: “It has nothing to do with us, we just need to pay attention to the gems.”

“Yes.” Hattori Heiji touched the brim of his hat, “This time I want to make that thief look good! And…” He raised his eyes and looked at the back of Toyama Kazuha in front of him. She was chatting with Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, showing a nice smile.

Hattori Heiji encouraged himself in his heart: He must succeed in confessing today!

As they went along, there were more and more police and the security became tighter and tighter.Wakamatsu Akio stopped in front of an open door.

People inside saw them coming out.

“Here you are!” Suzuki Jirokichi saw the group and said hello to Akechi Kengo. After a few pleasantries, he immediately turned to Edogawa Conan and boasted, “This time I designed a foolproof trap for Kidd. I will definitely be able to catch the thief!”

Still so shameless.

Edogawa Conan thought to himself.Suzuki Sonoko complained directly to her friends: “My uncle says this every time, but he never catches Kidd-sama.”

“That’s because the previous traps were unsatisfactory, and this time there will definitely be no problem!” Suzuki Jirokichi said confidently.

Hattori Heiji said to Edogawa Conan: “This old man has always been so energetic!”

“Yes.” Edogawa Conan’s eyes swept across the room.The four walls were lined with police officers, surrounding the entire room. It looked like the style of the Zhongsen Police Department.

There was no furniture in the room, only a jewelry display stand in the center, making the room look empty.

Kaitou Kidd didn’t have enough time to send out the notice letter and Suzuki Jirokichi had to renovate the room, so he had no choice but to start with the jewelry display stand.

Bulletproof glass is a must. There are four keyholes on the four sides of the jewelry display stand, corresponding to four keys, which must be inserted at the same time to open the glass cover.

There is a small weight detector hidden under the jewelry display stand. If you want to turn off the detector, you must enter a twelve-digit password on the password disk. Once the password is entered incorrectly, an electric shock will be given.

Akio Wakamatsu and Jirokichi Suzuki led everyone to the jewelry display stand.Wakamatsu Akio said proudly: “This is the jewel that my family is proud of – ‘The Sun’.”

The surface of the jewelry display stand is covered with a layer of soft velvet, and a bright golden gemstone is placed on the black cloth.

Everyone gathered around: “This is Kidd’s goal this time!”

Wakamatsu Akio said slowly: “That thief only came at night, because he doesn’t know how to appreciate it anymore.”

Suzuki Sonoko’s brows were raised, and it was all due to her upbringing that she didn’t say anything harmful.Others looked at him inquiringly, and some actually said that Kidd didn’t know how to appreciate gems!

Akio Wakamatsu noticed the dissatisfaction of the guests and said with a smile: “The time is right now, let me show it to everyone.”

He looked at the Nakamori Police Department and Suzuki Jirokichi, and the three of them each took a key.Wakamatsu Yota also took out a key and stepped forward.

The four people inserted the key into the keyhole at the same time, turned the key, and opened the jewelry display stand after going through many security measures.

The weight detector has not been turned on yet, so Wakamatsu Akio skipped the step of entering the password.

He raised the golden gem to the sunlight outside the window.Under the gaze of everyone, the golden gem that was as dazzling as the midday sun turned into the orange color of the sunset in an instant, like magic.

“Wow!”

The three female high school students they saw for the first time all exclaimed in shame.

Wakamatsu Akio showed a proud expression.

“So that’s it, it’s a yellow sapphire from Sri Lanka.” Mingzhi Jianyu said, “Fluorescence reaction will occur under long-wave ultraviolet rays. Because it is a natural gemstone, the fluorescence reaction will appear uneven.”

Wakamatsu Akio asked: “Did you do research on gems even though you knew the police were investigating?”

Akechi Kenwu said casually: “I have handled some gem-related cases.”

After Akio Wakamatsu locked the gems back to the jewelry display stand, the detectives began to form a team to check the security facilities.With Akechi and Sensibility, the Zhongsen Police Department is much easier to talk to than usual.Suzuki Jiroyoshi’s full desire to share has also been put to use.

“Hmm…” Akechi Kenwu groaned.

Edogawa Conan raised his head and asked curiously: “Did Mr. Akechi find anything wrong?”

The Zhongsen Police Department looked over with a swipe.

“No.” Akechi’s enlightened eyes swept across the room, “I’m just worried that they are too focused on Kaitou Kidd and ignore other issues.”

He thought of Kindaichi’s phone call with him last night, and the light in his eyes flickered.
