I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine

Chapter 754 Taking advantage of the situation

In the monitoring room, several people gathered around the table, looking at the small card left by Kidd.

"14 = (11 people + 1 person) + 2 people

15=（11人+1人）+2人+1人”

"What does Kidd want to express?" Suzuki Jirokichi looked at the two formulas with no beginning or end, a little confused.

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and guessed, "Since it is related to thinking about sunflowers, does that mean that the painting with fourteen or fifteen sunflowers is Kidd's target this time?"

"In Van Gogh's fourth, fifth, and sixth paintings of sunflowers, there are fifteen flowers in each painting, but there is no painting with fourteen flowers."

"But according to rumors, the fourteenth and fifteenth flowers refer to the same painting."

"Now that you mention it, I remember that some people believe that Van Gogh's fourteen sunflowers actually represent the twelve disciples of Jesus as well as Theo and Gauguin!"

"Who is the extra fifteen below?"

“Van Gogh, of course.”

The people around were talking at once, and their guesses gradually became closer to the truth. Chu Ming roughly understood what Kidd wanted to express.

He must have somehow found out that someone wanted to sabotage "Sunflower" and rushed over to save it.

Wow, what a kind little pigeon.

Although Chu Ming guessed the truth, he did not make it public. Instead, he stood quietly behind and watched Suzuki Jiroji sound the alarm and ask irrelevant personnel to leave the art gallery. In order to speed up the process, he even turned off the X-ray scanner and only asked the guests to take back their belongings before leaving.

Officer Nakamori was obviously a little worried: "But if we turn off the X-ray scan, won't we be unable to determine whether Kidd has left the museum in disguise?"

"Kid can't leave." Suzuki Jirokichi had fought Kid many times and was familiar with Kid's style of doing things. "That thief didn't get anything, so he can't leave. He will definitely take the opportunity to stay in the museum. So if we evacuate the guests now, I can close the gate and catch him in the trap!"

Officer Nakamori also became excited when he heard this: "Yes, Kidd is not the kind of person who will easily give up his prey. Besides, there is an X-ray scan at the entrance of the Ray Kroc Art Museum this time, so Kidd definitely didn't disguise himself, and he didn't carry any magic props. In this case, wouldn't it be easy to catch him!"

"That's right! And I have twelve trustworthy partners here. By then, Kidd won't be able to escape even if he has wings." Suzuki Jiro clenched his fists tightly, and he was obviously ready to hold his head high and avenge his previous shame.

When Conan heard the word twelve partners, he immediately remembered the formula in the notice sent by Kidd. He seemed to remember something and said quickly: "Uncle Jiroji, do the twelve trustworthy partners correspond to the twelve disciples of Jesus in Kidd's card? I have always wondered why Kidd didn't just write 12 people. Could it be because, like the disciples of Jesus, one of the twelve is not our partner?"

"You mean, among the twelve of them, there is a traitor named Judas?" Sonoko was the first to react. It was obviously related to her Lord Kidd, so her mind worked extra quickly.

"Advisor Suzuki, we need to re-investigate the backgrounds of the seven samurai you invited. Do you think that's ok?" Officer Nakamori never believed that Kidd would do such a terrible thing. When he heard that there might be a turn for the better, he immediately asked for an investigation.

"That could also be Kidd's strategy to sow discord. He might do this to make us suspicious of each other so that there will be loopholes in the security system." Suzuki Jirokichi was a little worried.

"Then investigate secretly and don't let them find out!" Officer Nakamori made the decision directly. Suzuki Jirokichi did not object. After all, he also wanted to know whether there was a traitor among the people he had hired with a large sum of money.

At this time, all the people in the museum had been evacuated. Just as Suzuki Jirokichi ordered the gates to be lowered and prepared to check one by one, the power supply in the museum suddenly went out, and even the monitoring room was in darkness.

However, Suzuki Jirokichi was well prepared for this. He had been troubled by Kid's power outages several times. This time he specially prepared a backup power supply for all the surveillance. And now, it was used.

While everyone was busy switching the power, Chu Ming quietly took two steps back towards the door and turned to leave the control room.

It is estimated that the appraiser who was hypnotized by Lafitte has already started to take action, and he has to take advantage of the chaos to add fuel to the fire.

Although it was dark outside, it was not an obstacle for Chu Ming. He could move freely in the darkness.

But just as he was rushing to the location where the sunflowers were stored, he suddenly discovered a raging fire in the direction of the exhibition hall where the sunflowers were stored.

?

Who stole his plan?

As the shrill alarm sounded, Chu Ming frowned and rushed into the exhibition hall against the fire.

At this time, the exhibition hall was already filled with smoke. Chu Ming covered his mouth and nose slightly and walked quickly inside. Since the appraiser set the fire, she must want to destroy the paintings, so she would definitely tamper with the protective measures in the art gallery.

If he guessed correctly, the sunflower painting had definitely not been automatically taken back by the protection system.

Sure enough, when he rushed into the museum, he found that the second and fifth paintings of sunflowers in the exhibition hall were all stuck by something and had not been properly put back into the safe, and were still exposed to the flames.

It seems that his luck is really good, buy one get one free~

Chu Ming walked quickly forward and looked around at the cameras in the museum. After confirming that they had been destroyed in the fire, he raised his hand and prepared to violently take down both sunflowers and put them back into the system backpack.

Just as his hand was about to touch the painting, a familiar figure stumbled in from the doorway, amid thick smoke.

It was Kidd who was staring at Kudo Shinichi.

He obviously knew Chu Ming. Seeing that Chu Ming seemed to be here to protect Sunflower, he heaved a sigh of relief and trotted forward. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Ming, who was interrupted, shouted out his identity in annoyance: "Kid?"

Kidd paused. He was just about to greet Kudo Shinichi as Kudo Shinichi, but how come his identity was suddenly exposed? Damn it.

"There's no time to talk too much. Let's put the paintings into the fireproof and waterproof boxes first. These paintings are stuck by the poles. If we don't put them in, the paint will be melted by the high temperature!" Kidd didn't care too much. He kicked open the iron pole blocking the fifth sunflower painting, allowing the fifth painting to bounce smoothly into the fireproof box set up in the wall in advance, and then be sent into the safe depository along the track.

Chu Ming watched him hurriedly run towards the second picture, staring at his back as he was trying hard to pull the iron rod, and wondered if it was feasible to give him a dirty trick at this time and then steal the painting.

However, this plan was abandoned when Conan's focus appeared near the door.

It's so annoying. Is the museum on fire a hidden check-in spot? Why are they all running here? How can he take advantage of the fire to rob?
