Detective Conan: I, with my magical powers, am going to destroy the world!

The black gem in the space is more than twice the size of this one.

However, since there are always online trolls and ghosts appearing on it, it can't be easily taken out for authentication.

By the way, it seems that the gold he obtained from Shikishima was eventually sold for just over a billion yen.

This gem is now worth five times its original price.

Indeed, in this world, gemstones are still the most valuable thing.

No wonder those thieves love to steal gems.

Jirokichi Suzuki took the ruby, gazed at it for a long time in fascination, and then put it down.

He said respectfully, "Lord Akatsuki, your ruby ​​is an absolute treasure. I have a favor to ask. In a month, our Suzuki family will be holding a jewelry exhibition at the museum, and we hope to borrow your gem for the exhibition."

"Participate in a jewelry exhibition?" Chi Chufeng thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "It's a small matter, no problem."

The Suzuki family just gifted him a villa worth a billion yen; borrowing the jewels for an exhibition is no big deal.

Moreover, these gems will eventually be sold.

By leveraging the Suzuki family's exhibition to build their reputation, they might be able to sell even more.

"The Suzuki family's exhibition? Gems from Tokyo's strongest Onmyoji, Lord Akashikaze!"

Having just arrived in Tokyo, Tokitsu Junya looked at the newspaper in his hand and revealed a chilling smile.

He picked up his phone and made a call.

“Ms. Vermouth, I have heard that to become an outer member of the organization, one must pass the organization’s test.”

"Yes."

"I also heard that Chi Chufeng was chosen by the organization as a test target."

"Yes."

"Well then, I have a plan..."

Vermouth, who was on the other side, remained silent for a few seconds after hearing his plan.

Then he shrugged and said, "Your plan is very dangerous! We've always kept to ourselves with those phantom thieves. If we anger them, it won't do our organization any good at all."

"However, there's no problem if you do this in your own name."

"If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences."

“Of course,” Tokitsu Junya said through gritted teeth, “My plan will definitely not fail.”

"Hehe, let's wait and see."

Vermouth hung up the phone.

A few days later, in America.

Lupin III received a phone call, and Fujiko Mine's voice came through:

"Lupin, I'm in Tokyo right now. I've spotted a very beautiful ruby, and I want it!"

"If you can't steal it for me, then I'll have to trade my body for its owner. You know, its owner is very handsome..."

Ishikawa Goe, with his sword at his sides, leaned against Lupin: "Lupin, if I were you, I would never believe her."

Throughout history, Fujiko Mine has used this method to trick Lupin into stealing jewels more than once or twice!

Lupin nodded seriously: "You're right, her words are absolutely not to be trusted!"

"Huh?" Daisuke Jigen and Goe Ishikawa turned to look at Lupin, their faces full of surprise.

Didn't Lupin's IQ automatically drop from 420 to negative numbers whenever he encountered anything related to Fujiko Mine, making him fall for even the worst traps?

What happened today?

Lupin doesn't believe Fujiko Mine anymore?

As the two were wondering what was going on, Lupin angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"Mine Fujiko actually said she's going to find that Onmyoji?! What's so great about that charlatan? Can he be more handsome than me? She must be lying to me!"

"Uh~"

Daisuke Jigen and Goe Ishikawa were both speechless, their faces full of black lines.

Don't you ever look in the mirror, you big monkey?

Lupin let out a couple of dry howls, then quieted down, stood up, and said, "Friends, thank you for your help. We have to go to Japan."

"Hmm." Daisuke Jigen and Ishikawa frowned but did not object.

Their opposition to this kind of thing is useless.

Lupin chuckled and said, "I've heard of that strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo for a long time."

"Even the Phantom Thief Kid has suffered at his hands."

"Perfect timing! We can take this opportunity to meet that Lord Chi Chufeng!"

"Let's see what makes him so special."

Chapter 163 The reputation of Phantom Thief Kid cannot be tarnished!

Jiang Gutian, Blue Parrot Billiards Bar.

In the staff break room, Kaito Kuroba sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, one hand supporting his chin, watching TV.

The television channel is Nichiri TV, and a beautiful female host is walking through the Beika Museum, introducing the Suzuki Foundation's jewelry exhibition hall.

"According to the staff, after the jewelry exhibition begins, the display stands here will showcase the most sought-after top-quality rubies of the exhibition."

"This ruby ​​belongs to the famous Onmyoji, Mr. Akatsukaze, and is temporarily on loan by the Suzuki Foundation for exhibition purposes. According to experts, the market value of this gem is at least five billion yen."

"Damn it! That bastard, this ruby ​​must have come from Shikijima. This gem should have been mine!"

On the sofa, Kaito Kuroba watched the program and couldn't help but recall what happened on Shikijima. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

If it weren't for that despicable Onmyoji, this ruby ​​would definitely have been his during that trip to Shikishima!

As a result, because of that guy, not only was a treasure from hundreds of years ago dug up by him, but the dignified Phantom Thief Kid was also falsely accused of stealing 1 billion yen of gold from the Ryujin-go.

Am I the kind of person who steals gold?

This is so unfair!

Most importantly, Kaito Kuroba is still unsure whether the ruby ​​is the Pandora he is looking for.

If so, then it must be obtained.

Kaito Kuroba was feeling quite frustrated.

Terai Kinosuke walked over from the side and handed Kaito a glass of water.

Kaito Kuroba continued to stare at the television, his eyes darting around twice.

"Mr. Terai, do you think we can steal this ruby?"

"Uh, this..."

A bead of sweat hung on Terai Kinosuke's forehead.

He was well aware of how Kuroba Kaito had suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Akatsuki Kaze.

That Onmyoji was no ordinary person.

"With your abilities, young master, stealing a gem would be a piece of cake."

Terai Kinosuke carefully chose his words, trying not to hurt Kuroba Kaito's pride.

"However, young master, that ruby ​​belongs to that Onmyoji, right? I have a feeling that he's a bit strange. If you try to steal his ruby, you might encounter some misfortune."

"Why don't you spend some money to have him appraise the gemstone for you? I think that would be easier."

As soon as Terai Kinosuke finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito's expression turned grim.

Okay! It seems he got ripped off every time he met with Chi Chufeng before.

However, what does it mean to make him spend money to beg Chi Chufeng to take a look at him?

"Mr. Terai, do you mean you want me to bow down and admit defeat to that guy?"

Kaito Kuroba roared in annoyance, "Do you think I can't get that ruby ​​without asking him?!"

I didn't mean that.

Terai Kinosuke chuckled and waved his hand sheepishly, "I just thought this would be simpler. If we went to steal it, what if we ran into that Onmyoji again..."

Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched as he recalled the past.

Indeed, the thought of possibly facing Chi Chufeng head-on made him feel a little uneasy.

Or should we just let it go?

Anyway, no announcement was made.

Just pretend I didn't see that news...

That guy doesn't look like the type to collect gemstones.
