As a detective, the joy of catching a ruthless criminal is unimaginable to most people.Therefore, this great joy made him unconsciously relax his vigilance, which is also human nature. Despite the setback, the sharp and intelligent mind of the black lizard immediately started to think of ways to escape from the predicament.In the blink of an eye, a bold adventure plan emerged in his mind. She finally relaxed her tense cheeks and smiled at Akechi. "So, what do you want? Arrest me? Haha, isn't it too beautiful?" It's just supercilious.Even though she was a black lizard, she was just a weak woman, and what she had to face were four strong men, and the one in uniform was a majestic policeman.Sanae looked sick, but it couldn't be ignored.

There is only one door leading to the corridor in the room, which means there is only one escape route.However, Akechi's subordinates and police officers who had just arrived stood on that road.Windows are also one of the means of escape, but it is difficult to achieve. First of all, here is the second floor, and below the windows is the yard surrounded by buildings.How does this woman plan to get out of the predicament in front of her? "Stop bluffing. Officer, this woman will be handed over to you. You don't have to be polite, just tie her up. She is the mastermind of this kidnapping incident." Zhi Zhi ignored the provocation of the black lizard, and told the police officers at the door to arrest her quickly.

The police officer was at a loss, and he couldn't believe it when he heard Zhizhi say that the noble and beautiful woman in front of him was the gangster.Fortunately, he knew Zhizhi, and the criminal department had always trusted him very much, so he immediately approached Mrs. Luchuan. "Mr. Wise, check your right pocket first. Hehe, is it empty?" Black Lizard warned the approaching policeman out of the corner of his eye. Akechi was taken aback, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his pocket.empty.The Browning pistol that was supposed to be inside was missing.It turned out that the female thief was born with a pair of "skillful hands". Just now, taking advantage of the commotion in the bedroom, she snatched the pistol from Ming Zhi's body without a trace.

"Hehe, Mr. Wise, it seems that you have to study the tricks of pickpockets. Here is your self-defense weapon." The female thief laughed and took out a pistol from the chest of the foreign dress, holding it firmly in front of her body. "Okay, everyone, raise your hands. My marksmanship is not inferior to Mr. Wise. I can be called a sharpshooter. Besides, I don't care about human life." The policeman, who was one step away from catching the female thief, was at a loss now. It is a pity that none of the four men present were armed with guns, and the only weapons were police officers' daggers.

"Quick, raise your hands!" The black lizard opened its almond-shaped eyes, licked its red lips with its crooked tongue, and pointed its guns at the four people one by one.The white finger on the trigger trembled uncontrollably, as if it was about to be pulled. Seeing her murderous look, her crazy expression, everyone had to obediently raise their hands high.As a seven-foot man, surrendering is very useless, but whether it is the police officer, Akechi's subordinates, Iwase, and even the famous detective Akechi Kogoro, they all put on awkward gestures that stopped halfway through cheering.

Mrs. Midorikawa (she was still wearing a black dress at the time) was as swift as her nickname, the Black Lizard, and rushed to the door in two steps. "Mr. Wise, this is your second mistake, look!" The female thief said, with her free left hand, she pulled out the key that Zhizhi had left on the keyhole when she opened the door just now, and deliberately raised it to the position of her eyebrows and shook it. Zhizhi never expected that the situation would develop to this point. When he was in a panic, he forgot this link.Unexpectedly, the female thief saw it and immediately thought of how to use this advantage.Her wisdom is absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.

"Also, miss!" The female thief pushed open the door, stepped on the corridor with one foot, the gun was still pointed at everyone vigilantly, and said to Sanae at the right time: "I sympathize with you. As the daughter of the number one jeweler in Japan, you can only accept your unfortunate fate. Besides, you are so beautiful. Although I am obsessed with gems, I desire your body more. I will never give up on you, hear Is it? Mr. Wise, I will not give up, I will come to take the lady away someday. Then, there will be a period later. " The door slammed shut, and there was a sound of locking outside, and Sanae and the four men were locked in the room.There is only one key, and there is no other way to escape except to smash the door or jump out of the window.

Fortunately, they still had one universal weapon left—the telephone, Zhizhi ran to the table and grabbed the microphone to dial the switchboard. "Hey, I'm wise. The situation is urgent. Please immediately send someone to strictly guard all the exits of the hotel. Then, Mrs. Luchuan, I'm talking about Mrs. Luchuan, please stop her from leaving. She is a serious murderer, and she must not be allowed to leave. She escaped. Inform the manager and all the staff as soon as possible, do you hear me? Ah, and also, it is very urgent to ask the waiter to bring the spare key to Mr. Iwase’s room.”

After putting down the microphone, Zhizhi walked around the room anxiously, and picked up the microphone again after a while: "Hey, is everything done as I said? Did you tell the manager? Well, that's good. Thank you. Please bring the backup key up as soon as possible." After hanging up the phone, he turned to Iwase again: "The operator is very good at handling things, and he has already done what he asked. The exit of the hotel is guarded. No matter how fast the woman runs, there is still a considerable distance from here to the stairs, and it is not close to the exit when going downstairs. I think, generally speaking, there is no problem, there must be no staff who do not know the famous Mrs. Luchuan."

However, there are still omissions in the arrangement of Zhizhi's quick-witted students. In fact, after the black lizard hurried down the stairs, unexpectedly, he didn't run for the exit, but got into his room. Three minutes, exactly three minutes later, her door opened again, and a young gentleman appeared at the door.The gentleman wears a smart fedora hat, a smart suit, a pose pince-nez, a bushy beard, a snakewood cane in his right hand, and a coat in his left. In just three minutes, she became a completely different person, even beyond the reach of Aran's seven changes.If it weren't for the self-proclaimed magician "Black Lizard", she would not be able to perform such magical skills (the clothes used for disguise, she hides at the bottom of the travel bag).Moreover, how watertight it is, the jewelry that was originally put in the box is now all put into the pockets of this suit.

When the young gentleman came to the corner of the corridor, his footsteps hesitated, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to go through the front door or go to the back door? At this time, the delivered backup key had already opened the door, Zhi Zhi and others rushed downstairs.Intuition told Zhizhi that it was impossible for the black lizard to escape from the main entrance, so he handed over the monitoring task of that area to the manager, and dispatched the rest of the staff to guard several back doors.Could it be that "Black Lizard" has already noticed the wise arrangement?She raised her head and chest, swung her cane, and walked away from the main entrance with the sound of "cracking, clucking" footsteps. The manager led three staff members to scrutinize the faces of every passer-by, but there were nearly a hundred guests in the hotel, including foreign visitors, so they couldn't recognize every face.Since the target was clear, it was Mrs. Midorikawa, so the watchers only paid special attention to the female guest. For this young gentleman who smiled and nodded at them, he really didn't expect that it was the person they were waiting for, and even bowed respectfully in return." Sorry to disturb you," watching him leave. After stepping down the stone steps of the porch, the gentleman didn't wave for a taxi, but whistled and walked slowly outside the gate. After walking along the wall of the hotel and along the dark sidewalk for a short distance, the gentleman saw a man in a suit smoking a cigarette, and the gentleman seemed to understand his "mind" through that face. The gentleman had an idea, and suddenly stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a relaxed expression: "Hey, is it possible that you are from Zhizhi Detective Agency? Why are you still here in a daze, the gangsters have been caught at the restaurant, and there is a mess, you can go and help." As expected, the other party was indeed a wise subordinate.He hastened to cover up: "Are you mistaken? I don't know any sensible detective." As expected of a detective, he answered very cautiously.Interestingly, his words and deeds were just the opposite. The gentleman didn't walk a few steps before he rushed to the restaurant in a hurry.The black lizard turned to the right, watching the man's back as he went away, her uncontrollable joy made her laugh out loud. "Hehehe..."
