Chapter 280 The Ghost of the Crystal Palace (Part )
At the jewelry exhibition, the wax figures with elegant postures and exquisite retro clothing have been adorned with various kinds of jewelry, highlighting the unique texture of all the jewelry.
Even the gardener, who had seen grand scenes, marveled at the sight: "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Madam Red stood in the center of the booth and clapped her hands gently. "Then, please enjoy the jewels. Of course, there's also the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which everyone is most eager to see!"
The central stand slowly rose, and a huge, bright, white diamond appeared on the stand.
"What? This is impossible!" Duke White Crow gritted his teeth.
Conan looked at the wax sculptor with a puzzled look: "Is that the real Mountain of Light?"
"In order to prevent accidents, the Baroness bought countless huge zircon ores and made countless imitations of the Mountain of Light after carefully polishing them. This one may be one of the more outstanding imitations." The wax artist admired his work.
Duke White Crow was furious. "Damn it! They actually had this trick up their sleeve! Damn it! But it's just a replica. The master is not like these tourists with poor eyesight!"
Conan said, "It seems that your relationship with that lady is not good. Is your so-called cooperation just mutual benefit or are you competing for something?"
Duke White Crow said angrily, "You! What do you know, little brat? I finally stood out from those mediocre people, but that woman was born with a transcendent status!"
"As long as I can bring down this pretentious guy, and then gain the master's appreciation and obtain a code name, becoming a senior executive will be a piece of cake!"
The wax figure sneered, "You? I thought you were really working hard for the Crystal Palace. It seems you don't know the kind of people around Melody. Otherwise, how could you have the illusion that he would appreciate you?"
Duke Bai Ya was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You, you who got the code name so early, what right do you have to question my efforts!"
The wax figure artist paid no attention to the angry Duke of White Crow. "Poor fellow, guess how many codename members of the Crystal Palace came to see you make a fool of yourself today?"
"But using the 'Queen' to eat the 'Pawn' is really boring, right?"
"Mr. Philip, I don't like playing chess. Don't describe my plan in this way." Madame Red walked to the wax sculptor with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Okay, sorry. But you're welcome back to our camp."
Duke White Crow was furious. "You! You all! No, as long as the Koh-i-Noor remains a fake, I still have a chance to turn the tables. You're a fake too! I'm the only one who's special!"
At this moment, the mechanic pulled a mechanism on the side, raising the curtain on the booth. The setting sun was reflected through the windows and mirrors onto the Mountain of Light in the center of the booth, and the gem emitted a rainbow-like light.
"Oh my god, it's a rainbow!"
“The Koh-i-Noor really shines!”
The crowd watching screamed.
Xiaolan and Sonoko were also very surprised: "Oh my God, this is amazing!"
Madame Red stood before the crowd and announced loudly, "Everyone, please remember that today, the Koh-i-Noor shines its most magnificently in the Crystal Palace!"
Conan shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the gem is fake."
Xiaolan was also a little surprised: "Hey, it's fake?"
Duke White Crow's expression was distorted: "Nonsense! That luster, that rainbow, how could it be a fake!"
Duke White Crow pushed through the crowd and ran up to the booth, holding up the jewelry box and carefully examining the gems. Madame Red shouted angrily, "Duke, please put down my exhibits and don't obstruct the guests' viewing."
“I want to buy this replica of the Koh-i-Noor!”
"Sorry, this is not for sale." Madam Red said seriously.
"What? You won't sell it? Why? Well, it doesn't meet safety standards! It has bacteria, it will explode... Anyway, damn it, give me this Koh-i-Noor now, or I'll confiscate your jewelry store's license!"
[Prisoner: Hahaha, it happened, a famous scene.]
[Mechanic: Koh-i-Noor! I want the Koh-i-Noor! My Koh-i-Noor!]
[Novelist: Fortunately, I wasn't the one to act, otherwise I would have been completely embarrassed.]
"Hmph, are you planning to snatch my exhibits in public? Please respect yourself!"
"Damn it! I'm the one in charge of the Crystal Palace. This exhibit should belong to me. Guard! Guard! Where the hell are they?"
The Savage pointed to a wax figure holding an umbrella and said, "Mr. Duke, that wax figure is alive!"
"What? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Everyone looked in the direction the savage pointed, and the wax on the surface of the wax figure fell off, revealing the mechanical body inside.
[Prisoner: Supermodel Doll Flywheel Top Wax.]
[Wax Artist: ...]
[Mechanic: Stop talking nonsense and take cover!]
[Savage: Oh oh!]
The Savage cried out, "It's really a ghost! The ghost has appeared!"
In the shocked eyes of the crowd, the robot jumped up, snatched the Mountain of Light from the hands of Duke White Crow, and fled away at a rapid speed.
"It, it took away the Baroness's Mountain of Light!" The Savage was still serving as the on-site commentator.
Duke White Crow was extremely angry: "Chase them now! Bring back my Mountain-of-Noor!"
Afterwards, a large group of staff followed Duke White Crow from the left corridor to the right corridor.
"Wow, what a farce." The prisoner sighed as he watched the chaotic scene.
Sonoko complained dissatisfiedly: "What? Isn't that ghost just a robot? It looks pretty powerful."
Xiaolan asked in confusion, "But why would it take away a replica of the Koh-i-Noor?"
Conan gave the answer: "Because that is the authentic Koh-i-Noor."
Maori Kogoro hit Conan on the head: "What are you talking about? Didn't you just say it was a replica?"
"Because of Duke White Crow's reaction, he is obviously very familiar with the Koh-i-Noor gem and naturally knows how to distinguish the real thing from the fake. The rainbow that just appeared should prove that the so-called imitation is the real thing." The prisoner explained the truth.
"Also, the ghost that appeared in the Crystal Palace two days ago should be that robot. It's very light, so it can use a hang glider to land safely from the fourth floor."
Although he knew that the gem was the real thing, Conan was still a little confused. Why did Madam Red display the real thing as a replica and then send someone to snatch it away in full view of everyone?
"Eh? Where's Miss Tracy?" Conan looked around but couldn't find any trace of the mechanic.
Xiaolan also looked around: "Strange, it seems that Miss Tracy was still operating the mechanism next to the booth just now..."
The prisoner frowned: "I have a bad feeling..."
Sure enough, the next second, the Weeping Clown stumbled over and said, "Annie, where is Miss Anne? The fireworks I was planning to use for the fireworks show tonight are gone!"
Conan and his group immediately gathered around: "What's wrong, Mr. Qiu Ke, what happened to your fireworks?"
The Weeping Clown had a dejected expression on his face. "Originally, the Duke of White Crow sealed a large batch of my fireworks, saying he was worried about accidents at the exhibition. So I wrote a new report and submitted it, explaining my desire to set off fireworks over the Crystal Palace at night, and the Duke agreed."
"But, but the fireworks that were supposed to be set off at night are now gone!"
