Gin doesn't want to work hard

But unlike their previous aimless wanderings, this time they seemed to have the same destination: a restaurant.

As the detectives gradually gathered in the restaurant, the Boss raised an eyebrow slightly.

Judging from their expressions, could it be that they've made some discovery?

Thinking of the treasure that had remained undiscovered, Boss sat up slightly.

……

Inside the villa's restaurant.

A group of detectives gathered here.

Harufumi Mogi was the last to arrive.

He pushed open the restaurant door, looked at the others who were already waiting there, and said without any surprise, "Looks like you guys have also cracked the code."

“The code isn’t complicated, is it?” White Horse Scout replied.

Ikumi Gunda remained noncommittal. "So, who among us will reveal the answer?"

Kogoro Mouri didn't seem surprised.

On the way here, Conan had given him hints many times, both overt and covert, and he gradually deciphered the code by following Conan's instructions.

He waved his hand, "It's none of your business."

"Let's find the treasure quickly and get out of here as soon as possible."

"Uncle, our car has been blown up!" Conan warned.

Kogoro Mouri's expression changed, and he punched him on the head without any hesitation.

"You don't need to remind me of this!"

"Damn it! Considering the compensation, this trip was a complete waste!"

Conan covered his head and secretly rolled his eyes.

"But Lady Senma and the others should have prepared an escape route, right?" Mogi Harufumi guessed.

"Speaking of them, shouldn't we call them over?"

"After all, I promised them I would let them see the treasure with their own eyes."

Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement, "It's a good opportunity to call Ran and Kurosawa over as well."

"Then I'll go with this kid to call them."

As he spoke, he picked up Conan and turned to head towards the game room.

The remaining three detectives exchanged glances, and Ikumi Gunda shrugged. "Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer."

Chapter 287. ,

The boss frowned slightly as he looked at the monitor screen.

Judging from the detectives' reactions, it's clear they had indeed deciphered the code and located the treasure.

But a restaurant?

The boss didn't think the treasure would be hidden there.

The restaurant was a place he used to go to almost every day when he lived in the villa, and the boss claimed to know it very well.

If the treasure was really hidden there, he shouldn't have missed it.

But seeing the confident look on the detectives' faces, the Boss decided to take another look.

It seems we should let them live a little longer.

Thinking this, the boss took out his phone again.

"Hello, Boss?" Gin answered the phone as quickly as ever.

However, he seemed to have misunderstood something, and said in a slightly low voice.

"Sorry, Boss, I need a little more time to get to the villa."

The boss fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.

Why did Gin's first reaction be to apologize?

Is he really that impatient?

Gin must have misunderstood.

He is clearly a good boss who cares about his subordinates.

He never puts on airs, especially in front of Gin.

The Boss softened his voice and said, "You've misunderstood, Gin."

"I didn't mean to rush you."

"I called you just to ask you to wait a moment."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

But judging from the quiet environment there, Gin has indeed stopped.

The boss realized that his words seemed somewhat contradictory.

It's understandable that Gin would be puzzled if he called someone over and then told them to wait.

Before Gin could even ask, Boss offered his explanation.

"Some interesting things happened at the villa."

Thinking of Gin's penchant for killing, he reassured him.

"Don't worry, they can't escape."

"It's just letting them live a little longer."

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then spoke in their usual tone.

"I understand, Boss."

The boss nodded in satisfaction, asked a few more questions, and then hung up the phone.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while.

This time, Gin really wasted a lot of his time.

Normally, Gin would have already completed several missions and fully enjoyed the thrill of killing.

Instead of hiding in a corner because of his orders, suppressing his murderous intent in the darkness.

The boss sighed.

Although Gin did not express any dissatisfaction.

But as a considerate boss, he should compensate Gin.

It seems I'll need to spend some time finding some interesting missions for Gin.

The Boss nodded silently, deciding to give Gin a challenging goal in the future.

……

A room in the villa.

Kurosawa put away his phone, grabbed his backpack, and walked out of the room.

After the Boss hung up the first time, Kurosawa left the bathroom and returned to his room.

He manually destroyed the surveillance cameras in the room, making it one of the few clean places in the villa.

As Kurosawa walked towards the game room, he pondered his next move.

The boss's reaction was pretty much what he expected.

Next comes the detectives' deduction, and then he needs to find a way to separate himself from the people here...

As he turned a corner, Kurosawa bumped into two acquaintances.

"Kurosawa-nii?" / "Kurosawa?"

Conan and Kogoro Mouri spoke almost simultaneously.

"How will you be here?"

Conan then noticed the bag Kurosawa was carrying on his back.

His expression changed, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Kogoro Mouri's expression also turned serious.

Underneath the skin, Phantom Thief Kid quickly scanned Kurosawa's entire body, and after confirming that he had no injuries and that his expression did not appear to be coerced, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, he was not completely at ease.

Having personally experienced how easily Kurosawa could be fooled, he now strongly suspects that Kurosawa has been deceived.

"Hey, why are you carrying a bag?"

"Where are Xiaolan and the others?"

"Kogoro Mouri" said calmly.

Kurosawa's expression remained unchanged. He brought the bag to his front, reached inside, and rummaged around, pulling out a bag of snacks.

"I'm hungry, I'm going to get some food, and I'll also bring some for Xiaolan and the others."

Kurosawa gave a brief explanation, then asked a question in return.

"what about you?"

"Has the treasure been found?"

Upon hearing Kurosawa's explanation, both Conan and Kurosawa were taken aback.
