Chapter 14 Thirteen. Kobayashi boy's victory

Twenty Faces squatted beside the trap, and kept playing with the pistol he just got in his palm, feeling extremely proud.When he wanted to continue teasing Xiao Lin for fun, there was a sound of panicked footsteps running down the stairs on the second floor, and the chef's twitching face appeared in front of his eyes. "It's not good... There are three cars, full of policemen... I saw from the window on the second floor that they were parked outside the door... We have to run for our lives." Ah, Beebo really accomplished his mission.And, faster than Xiao Lin expected, a large number of police officers have arrived.In the basement, the young detective almost jumped up with joy when he heard the mess and commotion.

Even the supernatural "Twenty Faces" couldn't help being surprised by this sudden change. "what?" With a low growl, he stood up abruptly, forgetting to close the lid of the trap, and rushed to the door in a hurry. However, it was too late.From outside came the sound of the door being violently slammed.He put his eyes on the peephole by the door and looked out. The police officers in uniform outside surrounded the outside tightly with three layers inside and three layers outside. "hateful!" Twenty Faces was trembling with anger, this time he ran towards the back door.However, before running halfway, I heard a violent knock on the back door.The Den of Thieves has been completely surrounded by the police.

"Boss, the situation is over. We have nowhere to go." The chef yelled in despair. "I can't help it, go to the second floor." Twenty Faces planned to hide in the secret room in the attic on the second floor. "No, it will be discovered soon." The cook yelled loudly.The strange thief couldn't control so much, he grabbed his arm and rushed up the stairs leading to the attic. Not long after the figures of the two disappeared from the stairs, the main entrance fell down with a loud bang, followed by several policemen.Almost at the same time, the back door was also knocked open, and several inspectors rushed in from there.

The commander is Nakamura, who is known as the Devil Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, himself.The police department arranged police officers to stand guard at the entrances and exits of the main entrance and the back door, and then directed the remaining police officers to conduct a carpet search of the entire house. "Ah, here! This is the basement!" A policeman shouted from above the trap, and before he could finish speaking, a group of people rushed in.One of them squatted down to peek into the dark basement, and recognized the young boy Xiao Lin, "I found it, I found it. Are you Xiao Lin?"

After being called out by him, the boy who had been waiting for a long time immediately shouted: "Yes! Let the ladder down!" On the other hand, the inspectors searched every room downstairs carefully, but still did not see the figure of the strange thief. "Xiao Lin, where did Twenty Faces go, do you know?" As soon as the police department saw the strangely dressed young man who had managed to climb up from the basement, he hurriedly asked. "He was still in the basement until just now. It's impossible to escape outside. He should be on the second floor."

As soon as the boy Xiaolin finished speaking, an unusual call sounded from the second floor. "Come here quickly, it's a phantom thief, you've caught the phantom thief!" As soon as they heard that the strange thief was found, everyone rushed to the stairs deep in the corridor like a hive.After a burst of noisy footsteps, everyone came to the secret room in the attic. There was only one small window in the room, and the room was as dark as dusk. "Here, here. Come and help!" In the darkness, a policeman was pressing down on an old man with white hair and white beard, shouting sharply.The old man seemed quite difficult, struggling hard to get up, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to press him to the ground.

The two or three people who took the lead immediately rushed forward to suppress the old man.Immediately afterwards, four people, five people, six people... Finally, all the police officers piled up on top of the strange thief. At this point, even the most vicious villain is powerless to resist. The old man had his hands tied behind his back, squatting in the corner of the room as if all the strength in his body had been drained.At this moment, the police department of Nakamura came up with young boy Kobayashi to verify the real identity of the white-haired old man. "That's the guy with twenty faces, right?"

After being asked by the police department, the boy nodded immediately. "Yes. That's the guy. Twenty Faces in disguise," he answered. "You guys, put this guy in the car for me, don't be careless." As soon as the police department issued an order, the criminal police immediately surrounded him from all sides and escorted the old man downstairs. "Xiao Lin, you have done a great job. Mr. Zhizhi will be surprised when he returns from Manchuria. The other party is a thief with twenty faces. By tomorrow, your name will be spread all over Japan." The Nakamura Police Department took the young detective's hand and held it tightly as if grateful.

In this way, the duel ended with Kobayashi's victory.The Buddha statue was not handed over to the strange thief from the beginning, and the six diamonds were kept in the bag intact.This battle is impeccable.It was in vain that the monster thief was so deliberate, not only did he not steal anything, but the imprisoned boy Xiao Lin was also successfully rescued, and he himself became a prisoner in the end. "I always feel like it's a dream. I actually beat Twenty Faces." Xiao Lin was so excited that his face turned pale, and he looked unbelievable. However, at this time, the little detective forgot one thing because he was too happy to catch the strange thief.That was the chef employed by Twenty Faces. Where did this person disappear to?The whole house has been rummaged, but it can't be found, it's incredible.

There is no chance for the cook to escape.If he had the chance to escape, Twenty Faces should have escaped too.So, was he still hiding somewhere in the house?That was even more impossible, because under the rigorous search of a large number of police, it was impossible to leave such a low-level loophole. Dear readers, please put down your books for a while and think hard.The chef disappeared strangely, what kind of secret is hidden in it?
