Chapter 15 14. Terrible challenge book

Two hours after the manhunt in Toyamahara's abandoned house, in the gloomy interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department, the police led the police to start an investigation on the twenty-faced phantom thief.There was almost no decoration in the empty and dark room, and there was a table, and the police department and the strange thief with white hair and beard looked at each other across the table. The Kaitou's hands were still tied behind his back, and he stood with his legs apart as if no one else was there.At first, he was like a mute, refusing to say a word. "Let me see your true face."

The police department walked to the side of the strange thief, stretched out his hand to his white wig, and quickly pulled it off.Unexpectedly, there was a head of jet black hair under the white hair.Then, he tore off the white fake beard of the Phantom Thief.Finally, the true face of the Kaitou was finally revealed. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so ugly." No wonder the section chief was surprised when he said this.Because the Phantom Thief has a narrow forehead, short eyebrows in a mess, a pair of ugly eyes underneath, with a cold light, a flat nose, and a wide, fat mouth. barbarian.

As I said before, Kaitou has many faces with different characteristics. He is a monster who can dress himself up as an old man, a young man, or even a woman at will. Therefore, not only the general public, but even the police station, no one knows his true identity. appearance. But having said that, this dignified appearance is too sorry for the public.Perhaps even this savage-looking face was also a disguise. An indescribable horror suddenly rose in Nakamura's police department.He stared intently at the robber's face, unable to hold back the urge to shout. "Hey, is this your real face?"

The question is odd.But he just couldn't hold back, and still asked such a ridiculous question. As a result, the strange thief remained silent, his wide mouth opened even wider, and he actually laughed out loud with malicious intentions. When the police department saw it, they were all hairy for some reason, as if some unimaginable strange thing was happening in front of them. In order to hide the fear in their hearts, the police stepped forward to get closer, and suddenly raised their hands to pull the face of the strange thief.He pulled his eyebrows, pressed his nose, and pinched his face, as if he were playing with a kneader.

However, even after checking in this way, there was still no loophole in the other party's disguise.It is unexpected that the Phantom Thief who once turned into the handsome young Soichi Hashiba turned out to be ugly like a monster. "Hey hey...don't make trouble, it's so itchy." The monster finally spoke out.But what a waste of words.Could it be that he even pretended to speak, and played the police like a monkey from the beginning to the end?Or maybe he... The police department's heart tightened, and then glared at the strange thief.A ridiculous idea came to mind.Ah, is that even possible?That conjecture is too absurd, completely impossible.However, the police department had to ask what happened.

"Who are you? Who the hell are you?" This is another weird question. As a result, the Phantom Thief heard him ask, as if he had been waiting for a long time: "My name is Kinoshita Torokichi. I'm a cook by profession." "Shut up! Don't think that you can get away with it by telling such a big lie. Tell me honestly, isn't Twenty Faces a world-famous thief? Don't use such little tricks!" After being yelled at like this, he thought the Phantom Thief would shrink back, but for some reason, he giggled out of nowhere. "Ah, twenty faces? Are you talking about me? Hahaha... This is really ridiculous. Do you really think that twenty faces would be an ugly monster like me? Mr. Police Department, you are too blind. This is very It's an easy fact to see."

Hearing this, the Nakamura police department couldn't help but change drastically. "Shut up! Nonsense should be stopped in moderation. How could such absurd things happen. Didn't Xiao Lin clearly testify that you have twenty faces." "Wow ha ha ha... It's because you Zhang Guan Li Dai arrested the wrong person, so it's ridiculous. I don't remember what bad things I did. I'm just a chef. I don't know if there are twenty faces or not. I It's just Huji, the chef who was hired to that house ten days ago. If you don't believe me, you can go to the master who taught me how to cook, and you will find out right away."

"Why would an innocent cook pretend to be an old man?" "Well, that's because I was suddenly subdued by him, and then forced me to change clothes and put on a wig. In fact, I was also baffled. When Mr. Police rushed in, my master took my hand and rushed into the attic. "There is a secret closet in that room, which contains all kinds of clothes and tools that can be used in disguise. My master pulled out the patrol uniform and baton from it, quickly put them on, and ordered me to change into the old man he was wearing. Clothes, then yelled 'the robber was caught', and then I was pinned down by him. Looking back now, he should be disguised as your subordinate, Mr. Police Department, and performed a scene of discovering twenty faces, and suddenly rushed to subdue Great show for the robber. Because the attic is dimly lit. Faces can't be seen clearly in that chaotic situation.

"I couldn't help it at all. As for my master, he has great strength." Police Department Nakamura's face was ashen, without saying a word, he pressed the alarm bell on the table vigorously.Then, a young worker came in, and the police department ordered him to immediately call the four inspectors who were in charge of monitoring the front and back doors when they surrounded the abandoned house in Hushanyuan this morning. Soon, four inspectors entered the room, and the police department stared at them ferociously. "Did anyone leave the house when this guy was caught? The guy was probably in patrol clothes. Did any of you see that?"

Asked by him, a police officer replied: "A patrol did leave. He yelled that he had caught the robber, and told us to go to the second floor. When we rushed to the stairs, the man ran out in the opposite direction." "Why didn't you say it before? What's more, don't you even look at what he looks like? Even if you are wearing a patrol uniform, as long as you see the face, you should be able to immediately tell whether this person is recognized by you, and whether the other party is a counterfeit?" Terrible veins popped out of the police department's forehead.

"The problem is, we didn't have time to see his face. He came running like a gust of wind, and then rushed out like a gust of wind. However, I thought it was strange at the time, so I asked him where he was going. The man said that he He wanted to make a phone call, and said that the police department ordered him to make a phone call. He ran away while shouting. "As soon as I heard that I wanted to make a phone call, there were no such cases in the past, so I didn't continue to doubt it. Besides, the robbers had already been caught, so I also forgot about the inspector who ran out and forgot to report to the police again." You reported." It does sound reasonable.Just because it is reasonable, the flexibility and thoughtful preparation of the strange thief's plan is really amazing. There was nothing left to doubt.The barbarian ugly man standing here is not a phantom thief at all, but an ordinary cook.When he thought of dispatching more than a dozen policemen, it was actually a farce to arrest this ordinary chef.The police department and the four inspectors couldn't help laughing and dumbfounded.They could only stare blankly at each other, there was nothing they could do. "Also, Mr. Police Department, my master left a letter and asked me to give it to you." Chef Huji opened the front of his robe, took out a crumpled piece of paper, and handed it to the police department. The Nakamura Police Department pulled the paper over, stretched out the wrinkles, and immediately read ten lines at a glance.Looking at it, the face of the police department seemed to have turned sour purple due to excessive anger. In the letter, I wrote the content of ridiculing him as much as possible. Dear readers, it is a pity that in the duel between Twenty Faces and Kobayashi boy, the Phantom Thief won in the end.Moreover, Twenty Faces also laughed at the poverty and simplicity of Hashiba's treasure house, declaring that he was embarking on a big business.What does his so-called big business mean?Next time, maybe the young Kobayashi boy can't deal with it.What everyone can look forward to is only Akechi Kogoro.Is it time for him to return home? Ah, the famous detective Akechi Kogoro is about to face off against the phantom thief Twenty Faces.The battle of wits and courage between the two sides is really impatient!
