Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

"Fishing lines, simulated inflatable dolls, and these controlled drugs." So Takuya, who appeared in Kuroba Kaito's room at this moment, was commenting on the props prepared by the Phantom Thief.

"To be honest, if I didn't know you were a thief, based on these configurations, I would even doubt who you were planning to kill.

Or is it that the excitement of sneaking into the women's locker room is no longer enough to satisfy you? "

The arrival of Sotakuya made Kuroba Kaito excited. After seeing Sotakuya's handsome face, he started to complain:
"Hey, you are a policeman after all, how could you break into a house so openly!
And that’s not called a thief, a phantom thief, a phantom thief, you know? "

Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes at Sotakuya, then turned around and fiddled with his props.

After a quick glance, Zong Takuya found it boring, so he found a chair in the room and sat down.

"I will answer your questions one by one.

First of all, I was able to enter your house not through detectives and thieves who slipped through the door and picked the lock, but because Mr. Zhongmori asked me to come to your house to see if you were sick and dying in bed.

So I have a valid reason. "

"Second question, you want a policeman to tell the difference between a thief and a phantom thief. With all due respect, this is really impossible.

The department responsible for chasing you is the Second Investigation Division of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. Judging from the results alone, the difference between a thief and a phantom thief is not very big for the police.

It's just that thieves are easier to catch, but monster thieves need more brains. "

"Of course there is the last point, Mr. Phantom Thief, I think you can take a rest now, because from now on you will not be able to use these carefully prepared props."

Kuroba Kaito was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Sotakuya: "What do you mean?"

"Remember when I told you that I was tracking down a criminal syndicate?

I have received intelligence that someone within them is planning an assassination operation against me. I need your help. "

Sotakuya said bluntly.

"When?"

"from now on."

"Now?!"

Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at Sotakuya and then turned to look at the props on his desk.

"Can't it be later? Brother, I have sent out the notice letter!"

Kuroba Kaito casually picked up a newspaper from the table and handed it to Sotakuya. It was a copy of Kaitou Kidd's warning letter.

It seems that Suzuki Jirokichi is not hiding anything in order to hype up this showdown with Kaitou Kidd.

After seeing this newspaper, Zong Takuya remembered the question that he had been curious about since just now:
"By the way, when did you offend this old man?

Why do you feel like this Suzuki consultant is so angry with you? "

Speaking of this Kuroba Kaito, his eyes darkened. He really had no impression of this old man at all.

Even Kuroba Kaito himself was confused when he saw Suzuki Jirokichi's provocation in the newspaper.

It wasn't until Suzuki Jirokichi took out the rare gem that Kuroba Kaito chose to accept the challenge, in addition to wanting to verify whether the gem was Pandora.

I'm afraid I also have the idea of ​​​​finding out.

"I don't even have an impression on you. That's really strange. It can't be because you stole his headlines, so he's targeting you like this, right?"

Sotakuya made a casual joke, but Kuroba Kaito didn't take it seriously.Is there really anyone in this world who would hold a grudge because he was robbed of headlines?
If this kind of thing could lead to enmity, Leather Pants Wang would probably be angry to death.
.
After chatting for a while, Kuroba Kaito finally decided to give up his action.

Of course, it’s not like giving up completely.

As a mature Phantom Thief, leaving more than one escape route for yourself is a professional quality unique to Phantom Thief Kidd.

Just like Batman has an old butler by his side, Conan has Dr. Ali by his side, and Sherlock Holmes has Watson by his side.

Kuroba Kaito also has a butler.

Although the old man is old, his skills are still agile, so the task of not falling into the glory of Phantom Thief Kid has been given to this gray-haired old man who is several decades old.

So Takuya is also deeply sorry for this. The old man who could have enjoyed his retirement life was forcibly rehired by Kaitou Kidd.
If this wasn't a matter of life and death, Zong Takuya wouldn't be so evil-hearted.

"So where are we going now?" Zong Takuza drove the car to a villa area and came to the largest villa in the villa area.

After parking the car, Sotakuya teased: "Does the majestic Kaitou Kidd know where this place is?
In this period of time, you have been coming to this place frequently, right? "

"Tsk, it's incredible that a guy like you can actually find a girlfriend."

Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt bored and got out of the passenger car and looked at the gorgeous building in front of him.

"One of the most famous wealthy areas in Tokyo is the residence of Suzuki Jiroyoshi, advisor to the Suzuki Foundation.

I didn’t expect you would take me here as your first stop.

By the way, you probably want to introduce me to that Suzuki consultant, right? "

After getting out of the car, Sotakuya threw the car keys to the doorman and led Kaito Kuroba across the garden lawn toward the villa.

"Consultant Suzuki is out today, so I can't be so boring as to introduce you two to each other.

It is enough for one police officer Nakamori to suffer in this world. There is no need to add another unlucky guy who is unkind to others. "

Seeing the Suzuki housekeeper who came to greet him, Sotakuya nodded and said, "I made an agreement with Consultant Suzuki."

The butler bowed slightly to Zong Takuya: "Welcome two guests, the master has told Officer Zong to do what you want."

"Okay, please take me to the collection room."

Under the guidance of the butler, Sotakuya and Kuroba Kaito came to Suzuki Jirokichi's collection room.

As soon as I entered the collection room, I saw the various trophies won by Suzuki Jirokichi.

Golf European Open Cup, American Open Cup, World Hamburger Eating Championship.
Judging from these aspects alone, Mr. Jiroji is really an all-rounder.

"You two, please take your time to appreciate it. If you need anything, you can call me." The butler took the two people to the collection room and then left.

Only Sotakuya and Kuroba Kaito were left in the collection room.

"The Suzuki Foundation consultant's collection room. Did we get in so easily?!"

Kuroba Kaito looked at the pure gold goddess statue in front of him with dumbfounded eyes. The huge gems held up by the goddess statue's hands were nakedly exposed in front of Kuroba Kaito.

"Of course, this is not a difficult task, especially for a police officer." So Takuya's profound words made Kuroba Kaito question his career development.

By the way, if the police can get close to these gems so easily, then why do you have to work so hard to be Kaitou Kidd?
At this moment, the temptation of Kuroba Kaito-san reached its peak. (End of chapter)
