Chapter 308

"Achoo!"

Below the Beika Museum, Lupin III sneezed.

"Alright, I'm off. Let's steal the ruby and get out of this cold place quickly."

Jigen Daisuke nodded, "Be careful. There are a lot of police today, and Nakamori Ginzo is here too. Luckily, that Onmyoji doesn't know where we went."

"I know! Nakamori is indeed a bit hard to deal with, but as for that Onmyoji... he's not in the jewelry exhibition hall right now, and the others can't stop me."

Lupin III chuckled and stepped out of the car.

Then, avoiding the police line, he used a grappling hook to enter the third floor.

In the third-floor corridor, countless police officers were guarding the area.

Seeing Lupin, they all shouted: "Lupin III has appeared!"

They had received the portrait brought by Nakamori Ginzo, so naturally, they wouldn't mistake him for someone else again.

Lupin scratched his head like a monkey and turned to run toward the fourth floor.

The police all shouted: "Lupin III is running toward the fourth floor!"

Inside the jewelry exhibition hall, Inspector Nakamori held his walkie-talkie, listening to the reports from the officers, and kept issuing orders:

"Team One and Team Two, keep a close eye on Lupin III; you must not lose him!"

"Team Three, seal off the building's entrances and exits immediately. No one is allowed to leave. Without my orders, no matter what happens, do not leave your posts. Reply if you receive this!"

"Team Three received!" A voice came over the walkie-talkie, and then there was no further response.

Inspector Nakamori's heart tightened, and he immediately asked: "Team One, Team Two, please answer if you hear me! Please answer!"

A few seconds later, a lazy voice came over the walkie-talkie.

"Sorry, sorry, you guys have too many people, so I had to let them sleep for a while."

"What?! Damn it!"

Inspector Nakamori roared, looked at the police in the exhibition hall, and yelled:

"Split half the men immediately and go chase Lupin III! Also, go get gas masks; that guy might have released anesthetic gas in the building!"

"Yes!" In the exhibition hall, the police saluted together, and then half of them ran out.

Beside Inspector Nakamori, Nakamori Ginzo frowned and said: "Lupin III has appeared; I'll go out and take a look too."

Nakamori Ginzo walked out of the exhibition hall.

About half a minute later, Lupin was seen running into the exhibition hall.

He held an iron chain, locked the exhibition hall door, and waved at Inspector Nakamori and the others: "Hi! Good morning, officers, thanks for your hard work!"

As he spoke, he threw out an anesthetic grenade and put on a gas mask.

Inspector Nakamori was stunned for a moment, then roared, "Bastard, catch him!"

Unfortunately, without gas masks, under the effect of the high-efficiency anesthetic, they all collapsed to the ground before they could even reach Lupin.

Lupin chuckled, walked slowly to the display stand, and grinned at the ruby inside the bulletproof glass.

"What a great treasure; this thing is mine!"

"Is that so? Lupin III, you're thinking too wishfully."

A figure fell from the air and landed right on the glass of the display stand.

With a Space Gate in hand, how could anyone stop Akaso Kaze?

Looking at the police lying on the ground, Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

Does the police force have to be this weak?

They were taken down so quickly?

If the gem had been left in their care, it would have been lost without a trace long ago.

"Heh, Onmyoji-sama, you're too late."

Lupin III reached out his hand, and before anyone knew it, the ruby was already in his grasp.

"Heh, truly worthy of being an international thief."

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.

Mind Hand.

Whoosh.

Lupin III was stunned.

The ruby in his hand was gone. He looked up and saw it was already in Akaso Kaze's hand.

Lupin III was truly shocked this time.

To be able to snatch the gem from his hand so easily—this definitely wasn't something an ordinary person could do.

"It seems Onmyoji-sama is truly very powerful!"

Akaso Kaze tossed the ruby and smiled faintly.

"Lupin, my things aren't easy to take. Do you know why Kaitou Kid didn't come today?"

"Hmm? Why?"

"He's already overwhelmed. Next, it's your turn."

"How does Onmyoji-sama plan to deal with me?"

Lupin III spoke while secretly pulling out a handgun.

"Why don't you trouble yourself to sleep for a while."

He suddenly fired, shooting two anesthetic bullets.

But Akaso Kaze didn't even move.

Lupin III's eyes widened.

In that instant, a square black hole suddenly appeared at the muzzle of the gun.

Then, the two bullets disappeared into the black hole.

This is just too un-Conan-science.
