Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 199 Don’t ask, I learned it in the police academy

Inside Suzuki Jirokichi's residence.

Since they had just finished dinner and it was getting late, Suzuki Jirokichi led Makino and the other two directly towards his complacent vault.

While walking towards the safe room, Suzuki Jirokichi did not forget to boast to Makino and others how "safe" this safe was.

Although Suzuki Jirokichi had a smile on his face while introducing himself, there was a flash of worry in his eyes.

Safe, sturdy, with complex and cumbersome passwords...these are the great advantages of a vault.

However, in this case, these advantages have become fatal flaws that are about to kill the beloved dog "Lupin".

Although food and water can be put in through the vent, being in a dark, closed and limited space environment for a long time is likely to cause Lupin to have a stress response, causing indelible effects on his body and mind.

He also wanted to find someone to open the vault as soon as possible and bring Lupin out, but the vault was too complicated and ordinary locksmiths were simply unable to open it.

Not to mention whether it was embarrassing or not...he simply couldn't find a more powerful mechanism master or lock picking expert in such a short period of time.

After thinking over and over for a long time, the "old rival" Kaito Kidd suddenly appeared in his mind...

Thinking of this, Suzuki Jirokichi's tone of boasting about the vault to Makino and the others inevitably lowered a few notches.

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of the room where the vault was stored.

After arriving at the door, Suzuki Jirokichi first reached out to stop Makino and the other two, then took out something like a remote control from his pocket and reached out to open the door.

Apart from the huge vault that came into view, there was no furniture in the room and it looked like a completely empty room.

Without waiting for Sonoko to speak, Suzuki Jirokichi said, "Don't move. There is an extremely sensitive weight sensor in this room."

"Weight sensing device?" Sonoko asked puzzledly.

Suzuki Jirokichi nodded and silently took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket: "Yes, wait a minute... I don't have anything lighter, so I'll use this to demonstrate."

The next second, under the curious gazes of Makino and others, Suzuki Jirokichi threw the handkerchief into the room where the safe was stored.

——"Boom!"

The moment the handkerchief fell into the room, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the room.

The next moment, several iron fences popped out from the top, bottom, left and right of the room, completely "wrapping" the entire room in just a moment.

Seeing this scene, Yuanzi's eyes instantly widened.

Even Makino stared at the iron net in front of him carefully, frowning slightly, thinking to himself: "Where did these things come from? From the surface, it seems that there is no place in this room where these iron nets can be hidden. Could it be some kind of 'black technology'?"

After seeing the reactions of Makino and the others, Suzuki Jirokichi nodded with satisfaction, pressed the button on the remote control in his hand to close the trap, and then smiled and said, "This is a weight sensor I installed specially. Not to mention a handkerchief, even a bottle cap or a cigarette can trigger this anti-theft device!"

"Awesome..." Yuanzi couldn't help but mutter as he watched the 'iron cage' gradually disappearing in front of him.

Suzuki Jirokichi raised his head proudly and continued, "How is it? Isn't it amazing? Even Kaito Kidd can't escape this trap!"

But the next moment, Sonoko suddenly asked: "Since there is such a powerful trap, why haven't you told the media about Kaito Kidd's coming? Maybe you can defeat Kaito Kidd this time~"

Hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi coughed lightly and subconsciously rolled his eyes: "Well, anyway, the 'New Moon Night When the Bright Moon is Swallowed by the Night' in the challenge letter will arrive in a few days, so there is no need to be so anxious. Besides, this challenge letter might be a fake..."

"Really?" Sonoko frowned. She always felt that Uncle Jiroyoshi was a little different than usual.

While the two were talking, Makino secretly took out the ant robots and controlled them to enter the vault through the vents below the vault.

After doing all this, Makino casually took out the matching sunglasses and headphones from his pocket and put them on his head.

"Long Yi, why are you wearing sunglasses?" Ayako, who was holding Makino's arm, naturally noticed that Makino was wearing sunglasses and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi and Sonoko, who were chatting, also saw the sunglasses on Makino's face and showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

At this moment, Makino turned to look at Suzuki Jirokichi and slowly said, "Uncle Jirokichi, the reason why you want Kaito Kidd to take action is for this vault. If I am right, could this matter be related to 'Lupin'?"

Suzuki Jirokichi: “?!”

Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Makino in front of him in shock, his eyes full of horror.

Although they didn't know what Makino meant, Ayako and Sonoko vaguely realized something after seeing the expression on Uncle Jiroyoshi's face, and they both turned to look at Suzuki Jiroyoshi in front of them.

After a moment of silence, Suzuki Jirokichi slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.

After opening his eyes again, he smiled bitterly and said, "Ayako, you really found a good husband... Makino, when did you know?"

Ayako's pretty face turned slightly red, the corners of her mouth slowly rose, and she held Makino's arm tighter.

Sonoko asked in confusion, "Brother Ryuichi, could it be that the letter of challenge was written by Uncle Jiroyoshi, and that uncle wanted to take the initiative to call Kaito Kid over? And...what happened to Lupin?"

Makino smiled and shook his head: "Yuanzi, take out the letter of challenge and read the words at the bottom from left to right."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately took out her cell phone and carefully read the challenge letter according to Makino's instructions.

After a few seconds, Sonoko exclaimed, "Ah! I see! It says 'Please do me a favor'!"

Makino nodded and said, "You are right. As for the fact that this matter is related to Lupin, it is just my guess. Uncle Jiroyoshi clearly rode the 'co-pilot motorcycle' today, but he did not bring Lupin with him, and there was no sign of Lupin in the house."

Hearing this, Yuanzi held his chin with his hand and thought: "I roughly understand, but what is the connection between these two things?"

Before Makino could speak, Suzuki Jirokichi shook his head slightly and sighed, "Let me tell you about this myself... Actually, when I took Lupin to check the inside of the vault yesterday afternoon, I accidentally left Lupin inside."

"What? Lupin is in the vault?" Sonoko asked in surprise.

Suzuki Jirokichi nodded and said, "Well, I was thinking about something at the time. It was not until I closed the vault that I realized that Lupin was accidentally locked in the vault by me."

Sonoko looked at Suzuki Jirokichi in confusion: "Then why don't you reopen the vault and let Lupin out?"

After two seconds of silence, Suzuki Jirokichi laughed and touched the back of his head: "Hahaha! There's nothing I can do. The password to this vault is too complicated. I can't remember it at all. The method to open this vault is written on the back of the scarf hanging around Lupin's neck~"

"That's why I want to use this letter of challenge to call Kaito Kidd to see if he can open this lock."

Ayako, Sonoko: "..."

The next moment, a look of worry appeared on Ayako and Sonoko's faces.

Ayako also asked, "Uncle Jiroyoshi, has Lupin not eaten or drunk anything since yesterday afternoon?" "Don't worry about that. Didn't I tell you there's a ventilation hole about three centimeters under this safe? I have already delivered food and water in there on plates on time~" Suzuki Jiroyoshi chuckled.

At this point, Suzuki Jirokichi laughed awkwardly twice, put away the smile on his face, and looked at Makino seriously: "Boy, do you have any ideas?"

Under Suzuki Jirokichi's expectant gaze, Makino nodded: "Although I can destroy the vault directly, it is also a solution, but that is more troublesome, and if that happens, I am afraid that this vault will not be usable in the future."

Suzuki Jirokichi: “?”

what?
Destroy the vault?!
Even machine gun bullets can't penetrate this vault, and ordinary bombs may not be able to penetrate it either... Can you really destroy this vault with your bare hands? !
Before Suzuki Jiroji could think about it, Makino suddenly took out two wires for picking the lock from his pocket: "Let's pick the lock, this is the safest way~"

Suzuki Jirokichi: “???”

Sonoko: “!!!”

Seeing Makino slowly walking into the room, Suzuki Jirokichi hurriedly spoke up to stop him: "Makino, you're planning to...pry the lock?! This is a vault built by the mechanical engineer Sanshui Jiemon, it has many deadly mechanisms!"

Makino nodded and chuckled, "Although I'm not as skilled as Kaito Kidd, I did learn a little about lock picking during my time at the police academy. Don't worry, those mechanisms... shouldn't be too dangerous for me."

Suzuki Jirokichi wanted to say something else, but when he saw how calm Makino was, and that Ayako and Sonoko on the side didn't seem to be too worried about Makino's "safety", he didn't say anything more. Instead, he and Ayako reminded Makino to be careful.

After walking to the front of the vault, Makino took a quick look at the combination dials on the vault door and turned to ask, "Uncle Jiroji, do you remember which combination locks were turned the most when unlocking them?"

Suzuki Jiroji recalled carefully and frowned, "I remember it should be the three at the top. The combination locks at the bottom are basically not used."

Makino nodded silently, "Okay, I got it. Everyone stay away from the door, I'm ready to start."

--"OK!"

At the same time, Makino focused his attention on the display screen on his sunglasses.

At this moment, the ant robot has successfully entered the vault. With its built-in night vision function, Makino can see everything in the vault very clearly.

Because the robot was small in size, Lupin in the vault didn't notice that there were many "uninvited guests" in the vault at all.

Unfortunately, although the monitoring capabilities of these little ants are indeed extremely powerful, they are at best "intelligent tracking devices" and cannot perform more complex actions.

Otherwise, Makino only needs to control them to take off the scarf around Lupin's neck and he would directly know how to open the vault.

Thinking of this, Makino shook his head with a smile.

When did I become so greedy?

No matter how you look at it, the capabilities of this ant robot are already terrifying.

If they can be manipulated at will to accomplish complex tasks, then this item is probably not S-level, but a definite EX-level "artifact".

Thinking of this, Makino quickly took back the robot and the sunglasses on his face, and carefully observed the combination lock in front of him.

Just as he thought, the combination lock of this vault was indeed a bit tricky, and it was almost impossible to crack the combination without triggering the mechanism.

After sorting out his thoughts, Makino turned his head again and looked behind him, observing the positions of Ayako and the others.

After confirming that everyone was out of the range of the mechanism, Makino carefully turned one of the combination locks.

Two seconds later, the combination lock suddenly made a slight "click" sound.

Then, the cover on the combination lock suddenly opened and an arrow flew out.

Makino casually reached out to catch the arrow, then continued to turn the combination lock above.

——“Crack!”

Not long after, the strange mechanical sound was heard again, and this time it was obviously louder than before.

As the sound rang out, the secret door in the middle of the vault suddenly opened, and several throwing knives suddenly flew out from it quickly.

Makino looked down at the "destination" of the flying knife and his face instantly turned dark.

This damn Sanshui Kichiemon actually hid these throwing knives in this place!
If you accidentally get caught...

Thinking of this, Makino jumped up lightly, turned in the air in an instant, then made a move directly, accurately caught five flying knives in mid-air, and then turned over again and landed on the ground.

Just as Makino threw the flying knife in his hand to the ground, there was another "click" sound from the vault.

A puppet carrying a small "Success or Failure" flag leaned out from it, seeming to express something silently.

Makino: "..."

Although he seemed to have some impression of this mechanism, he still couldn't help getting angry after seeing this puppet with a smirk on its face.

If this mechanical engineer had not passed away long ago, Makino really wanted to visit him in person...

Ten minutes later, Makino finally used the wire in his hand to unlock the last mechanism.

With the sound of a lock being unlocked, the door of the vault slowly opened up, revealing the true appearance inside.

——“Woof! Woof!”

After seeing the long-lost light, Lupin immediately ran out of the vault and rubbed Makino's legs happily.

After hearing Lupin's cry, Ayako and the others outside the house realized that the safe had been opened, and immediately opened the half-open door and walked into the room.

After seeing that his beloved dog was safe, Suzuki Jiroji also walked forward quickly with a look of surprise, stretched out his hands and hugged Lupin: "Lupin, I'm glad you're okay!"

Ayako and Sonoko on the side took a quick look at Lupin, then immediately walked up to Makino and carefully checked his condition.

After confirming that Makino was unharmed, the two men noticed the arrows and flying knives on the ground.

"Brother Long Yi! You are so awesome. I didn't expect you can actually pick a lock! Where did you learn that from?!" Sonoko looked at Makino excitedly, with admiring little stars in her eyes.

Makino slowly took Ayako's hand and looked at Sonoko with a chuckle: "Hmm? Didn't I just say that I learned a little bit when I was in the police academy~"

"Police academy? I didn't expect that the police academy also teaches lock picking..." Sonoko nodded silently.
