Chapter 1020 News from Pickman(2/2)
"Kaito, how was your rest?"
"Mom, where are you now? I have a lot to say to you..." Kuroba Kaito did not answer Kuroba Chikage's question, but asked directly.
In the phone booth, the corners of Kuroba Qianying's mouth raised slightly, "I'm already preparing to leave in the car. Now I haven't completely cleared the suspicion, so I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you in a short time."
Kuroba Kaito remembered his infiltration plan, but the negative effect was that Kuroba Chikage was under suspicion.
"But as for the gem, I've already got it."
"I know, I saw everything that happened last night in the room..."
Kuroba Chikage and Kuroba Kaito were communicating. Koizumi Anko next to them couldn't hear the voice on the other side of the phone, so she turned to Terai Huangnosuke to ask.
"What is Kuroba-san's mother like?"
"Well..." Terai Huangnosuke pondered for a while, "He is a good man with a free and easy personality."
Hearing this comment, Koizumi Anko became even more curious about the Kuroba Chikage whom she had never met before.
What would a person who could raise Kaitou Kidd look like?
But at the same time, she also thought of her mother, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the photo pendant on her snow-white neck.
…
After a while, Kuroba Kaito and Kuroba Chikage finished talking on the phone.
"Mom asked me to wait here. Someone will come to collect the stones soon."
"And that person will also bring news about Pickman..."
Ever since Kinosuke Terai told Kuroba Chikage about "Pickman", Kuroba Chikage has always been concerned about it and asked the Nine Angels organization to help investigate.
When it comes to investigating this kind of information, Nine Angels is very efficient.
"Pickman? His whereabouts have been found!"
On the other side of the sofa, Terai Kinosuke was a little excited because he was very curious about this person whom he didn't even know existed.
As the earliest assistant who met Kuroba Toichi, he even met the Kaitou Lady only after that.
But even he, the most senior person, had never heard of Pickman.
But in fact, Kuroba Toichi had a very close relationship with this Pickman, otherwise he would not have allowed him to draw a picture of himself wearing Kaitou Kid's costume and frame it on the wall.
"Well, mom said that person will arrive as soon as today."
Although Kuroba Kaito's tone was relatively calm, he was also very excited inside.
Regarding the secrets about his father Kuroba Toichi, Kuroba Kaito always feels like he can't finish digging it out.
From "Monster Thieves" to "Ghoul in the Moonlight" to the painter Pickman.
After experiencing some things yesterday, Kuroba Kaito remembered that when he was listening to Kuroba Toichi's teachings recorded on a gramophone in a secret base, he heard Kuroba Toichi mention that magic exists in this world.
Yes, Kuroba Toichi once said that magic is real.
It's just that Kuroba Kaito didn't take it to heart at all at the time and made a casual comment.
Not long after that, he met the self-proclaimed "witch" Koizumi Anko for the first time.
Now it seems that what Black Feather Thief said is right, magic really does exist in the world.
But the question is how did he know?
…
From noon to evening, Qin Zhibo has been waiting in Kuroba Kaito's room.
During this period, Koizumi Anko felt bored and went back to her room to rest.
Anyway, she didn't care much about anything other than Kuroba Kaito himself.
And what's even more terrible is that she didn't know until today that Kaito Kidd is divided into one generation and two generations.
As night fell, Terai Kinosuke went out to bring dinner for three people, and the three of them had dinner in the room.
After eating, Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito were lying on the sofa watching TV boredly.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Dude, dunk, dunk.
The originally lazy people in the room immediately sat upright, Kuroba Kaito gave a look, and Terai Kinosuke went out to greet the guests.
"Who's out there?"
"We made an appointment to meet before."
Terai Kinosuke confirmed through the peephole on the door that there was only one person outside, so he opened the door.
The man wore a wide-brimmed hat and a neat gray high-collar windbreaker that covered half of his face. He also held a black briefcase in his hand.
"Please come in."
Terai Kinosuke brought the man into the house and saw Qin Zhibo and Kuroba Kaito who were already preparing in the living room.
The man didn't have any extra greetings. He sat down directly, put the briefcase at his feet, and went straight to the topic.
"I was entrusted by the Nine Angels Organization to recover the 'Shining Trapezohedron'. Where is that stone now?"
"Don't be so anxious yet."
Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and stretched out his palm.
The man was startled for a moment, but he still took off his gloves and held Qin Zhibo's hands together.
【Survey√】
Name: Luc Villiers
Age:43
Occupation: Investigator
…
There was nothing unusual about the identity information investigated, so Qin Zhibo took back his hand.
"We have placed that stone somewhere, but before handing it over, we hope to hear what useful news you can bring."
Qin Zhibo deliberately did not say what the specific news was, but it was still to test the identity of the other party.
If it was really someone sent by Nine Angels, he would definitely know about this kind of thing.
After hearing this, the man took off the hat on his head and laughed softly.
