Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

Chapter 588 588.Cat's Eye, cat's eye?

Naturally, Sotakuya would not blame Kaitou Kid for a case that occurred within the jurisdiction of Inunaki Police Station.

Not just because Kaitou Kidd is one of his own.

Also, Kaitou Kidd's business scope is not as wide as this group of snitches.

Perhaps in the first generation of Kidd, the target selection of Kaitou Kidd in the first period of Black Feather Thief will involve paintings and artworks.

But Kid's second-generation goalkeeper Kuroba Kaito just wants to use this to find out about his father or the mystery of his disappearance.

So gems are Kaitou Kidd’s first target.

Even if Kaitou Kidd chooses some other targets, there are more or less other external factors involved.

For example, some people with ulterior motives want to use Kaitou Kidd's name to do some unseemly dirty deeds.

As for the operation of sending warning letters in advance, I don't know which thief got the good start.

Anyway, the famous phantom thieves on the market like to arrogantly send advance notice to their victims before taking action.

This behavior seems to show that the warning letters from the Phantom Thieves are like notices of water and power outages.

I just want to tell you that water and power outages are inevitable when the time comes.

"Manager Chagi is right." Sotakuya confirmed his subordinate's words and sent a hint of sympathy to Nakamori Ginsanharu who was far away in Tokyo:
"If it were Kaitou Kidd, there would be no shortage of Officer Nakamori.

But to say that Inunaki and his group of snitches are imitators of Kaitou Kidd, I don’t think it’s entirely true. "

As mentioned before, issuing announcements before taking action has almost become a standard feature for the Phantom Thieves in the world of Kexue.

It really cannot be judged that this group of thieves are imitators through the simple act of sending notices.

"Chief Utsumi."

"Roms!"

"Does your Phantom Thief have a code name?"

Under normal circumstances, the phantom thief who sends the notice letter will definitely leave his name on the notice letter. Otherwise, wouldn't the notice letter be in vain?
At that time, any cat or dog can pretend to be someone else's hard-fought action. Such unfair behavior should not appear among the Phantom Thieves.

"Yes, Counselor Zong, these snitches call themselves Cat's Eye!"

"Cat's Eye? Cat's Eye?"

Subconsciously, Sotakuya and his men looked at each other, and they all thought of the coffee shop that had left a deep impression on them just at noon today.

in case.

I mean if.
If that cat's eye is really this cat's eye, then they are really not as arrogant as usual.

Utsumi Section Chief of the Inunaki Department found that after he finished naming the code names of this group of Phantom Thieves, all the "big shots" from Tokyo were lost in thought.

He immediately thought of something, so he hurriedly explained: "Associate Zong, I think you must have some misunderstanding."

"Oh?"

"It's like this. Although the coffee shop opposite the police station is also called Maoyan, the two Maoyan are different.

I'll let the police officer responsible for hunting down the Phantom Thief Maoyan give you a detailed report, shall I? "

Section Chief Utsumi pointed out his subordinate Toshio Utsumi without hesitation, and he felt happy in his heart.

He is not afraid at all of Zong Takuya's investigation of the "Maoyan case". In the case of Maoyan, Section Chief Utsumi is completely public-minded.

It's better to focus on the cases than on the police department's funding.

As his subordinate, he knew Utsumi Toshio very well, and he was not the kind of person who would use power for personal gain.

Of course Toshio Utsumi is burning the funds of the police department like crazy, but there is still no progress in the investigation, which is very annoying.

It's time for that useless subordinate to feel the wrath of thunder that comes to this hall!
Under the arrangement of Section Chief Utsumi, a young police officer quickly came to the Section Chief's office.

Section Chief Utsumi began to introduce Sou Takuya: "Counsellor So, this is the police officer in charge of the investigation of the cat's eye case - Director of the First Investigation Department, Toshio Utsumi." "Utsumi? Please forgive me for taking the liberty of Officer Utsumi and Section Chief Utsumi. What’s the relationship?”

"There is no relationship at all, it just happens that the last names are the same!" Section Chief Utsumi said decisively, while his eyes showed more than a little dislike for Toshio Utsumi.

This is not incomprehensible.

If it had been anyone else, he would have had a subordinate who only burned money all day long, but had no output at all and could not be fired with New Year greetings.

I'm afraid I have to grit my teeth and wake up from the dream.

"Toshio, these are senior officials from the criminal department of our agency. This is the counselor who is leading the team. Zong Takuya is on the lookout.

Counselor Zong wants to ask you about some details of the case, and you must answer truthfully! "

Although Section Chief Utsumi disliked his useless subordinate, he still reminded him calmly.

Utsumi Toshio was shocked when he learned that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be about the same age as himself, was actually a police officer.

Fortunately, he is also a member of the police force. Naturally, he has heard of Zong Takuya's reputation, and he does not dare to have any thoughts of looking down upon him.

He saluted Zong Takuya honestly: "Counsellor Zong, please ask, I will definitely tell you everything you know!"

"Officer Neihai, since you are responsible for investigating Maoyan, I noticed that the adjective you used for Maoyan is 'guy'.
So how many people are there in this group of phantom thieves called Maoyan? "

Not all Phantom Thieves in this world are like Kaitou Kidd, not to mention that even Kaitou Kidd has his own helpers.

It's not impossible for a group of Phantom Thieves to share the same name.

Sotakuya's first question made Toshio Utsumi embarrassed for a while. After struggling for a while, Toshio Utsumi chose to tell the truth:

"This. Until now we can only confirm that Kaitou Maoyan is not a one-person operation, but how many people are there?
2 or 3, it's possible. "

"What about gender?"

"Judging from their body shapes during Operation Maoyan, they should be female."

"That means you can't be sure?"

"It is!"

“What are the characteristics of Maoyan’s target selection?

Is it a high-value artwork, a preference of certain fixed collectors, or a rare collection with a limited quantity? "

"Ah this."

Toshio Utsumi scratched his head in embarrassment, perfectly explaining what it meant to not know anything about everything.

Sotakuya understood this. In the final analysis, the Inuning Police Station is just a local police station under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Although Utsumi Toshio is the director of the investigation department here, he is just the inspection chief.

Takagidu from the First Search Division was on the same level as this young man.

In the past, the cases investigated by the Dog Ming Department were mostly robbery or serial thefts.

Facing such a well-prepared group of phantom thieves, the local police department is still powerless.

Feeling the tension of Toshio Utsumi in front of him, Sotakuya patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself, Officer Utsumi. It's normal to lack experience when facing a strange group of Phantom Thieves.

Next, study hard and I believe you will adapt to it soon. "

　This City walk is simply a hell of an activity.

　　Walking around Shanghai with Sister-in-law, I almost lost my life.

　　Tomorrow's trip is Disneyland, and I feel like I've lost another 2 pounds in one day.
