Chapter 346: Out-of-court Matters: Crow the Phantom Thief
Chapter 346: Out-of-court Matters: Crow the Thief
—————May 23, 10:20 a.m.——————
—————Tokyo area, suburban forests——————
"According to the reasoning given by Brother Maori, those children should be nearby!"
"But everyone, please be careful. Maybe Sanhao Mazi's accomplices are here too!"
Inspector Megure led the criminal department officers forward very cautiously.
And Takagi Wataru next to him also became cautious all of a sudden.
I was afraid that something might go wrong and the children might get hurt.
As for Brother Maori’s reasoning, what’s going on?
This morning, Brother Maori fell asleep in the Metropolitan Police Department and enjoyed a good sleep.
Then he performed classic dream reasoning and pointed out the possible location of the Young Detective Team.
To be honest, Inspector Megure is a little envious of Kogoro Mouri's ability to sleep.
This kind of physique allows one to fall asleep anytime and anywhere, regardless of the occasion, and even reason in a dream.
It's so enviable. If possible, he also wants to have a physique like this.
A person whose reasoning is so nonsensical becomes extremely capable of reasoning once he falls asleep. It's simply a superpower!
If you insist on saying that this is a superpower, it is not wrong. After all, Conan, who is responsible for reasoning, is indeed not normal.
He did not follow Inspector Megure and his companions, but went to other places with Nanatsuki Koshimizu.
Because, in addition to finding out the location of the Boy Detective Team, the Death God Elementary School Student also did the following.
There is another [new] factor that must be determined now.
"Yeah, it's okay. I think that lawyer Xiang Yuan is very capable. He will be fine."
"Hmm? Do you think my disguise was discovered? Of course not."
On a mountain not far away, Kuroba Kaito was holding a telescope and looking in the direction where Inspector Megure and others were moving.
There was a headset hanging on his ear, and he seemed to be communicating with someone.
"Now we don't have to come over from Las Vegas. The matter is almost settled."
"It's just that, isn't it time for you to come back and meet Kaito?"
"It seems that he still thinks you are dead."
"I have a suspicion that if I delay any longer, he will say this to you when he sees you——————"
"[What? Kuroba Toichi? Aren't you dead? Why are you here now?]"
Black Feather Daoyi, who was far away in Las Vegas, shook his head.
It's impossible, absolutely impossible. How could his son be so filial?
Besides, in Kaito's eyes he was already dead, and it was impossible to address a dead man with such words.
Unless in Kaito's eyes, the dead can crawl out of the ground and PK with him in the imperial city.
But that is impossible, after all, reality is scientific.
Things like resurrection of the dead, spiritualism, and magic... none of them exist.
Hei Yu Daoyi sat on the chair, looking through the information obtained from the computer.
As for those special organizations with a lot of evil running rampant inside, I sigh every time I see them.
"I see. I'll go see Kaito sometime later."
"Just think of it as a test of his ability as Kaito Kidd."
"…Well, I'll have to change my nickname when the time comes, so he can't easily figure it out."
On this side, Kuroba Kaito was watching Inspector Megure and others moving in the forest in the distance.
He tapped his lips with his finger, as if he was thinking.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said with a gloating look.
"That lawyer Xiang Yuan is said to be able to perform magic tricks. He is known as a black magician."
"And the magic partner you tame is a crow, so how about you call yourself the Phantom Thief Crow?" The Phantom Thief Crow...? That sounds good.
Hei Yu Daoyi nodded thoughtfully.
This will also allow Kaito to mistakenly believe that he is the lawyer, Xiang Yuanguang.
This deepens his image as a master of disguise, making Kaito never imagine that Kaito Crow is his biological father.
"Okay, I'll use this name... Is the communication disconnected?"
He put down the headset and his eyes fell on the last message in front of him.
[The Phantom Thief Lupin III stole the Century Jewel in the United States, and the police were far behind~]
[The United States sent members to the Tokyo Diplomatic Embassy to negotiate regarding the death of the wealthy man Liebnand~]
(There are so many things going on.)
At this moment, under the telescope of Kuroba Kaito.
The rescue operation organized by Inspector Megure has begun——————
And it's over.
"…Where are Miyoshi Mako's accomplices?"
Inspector Megure blinked and looked at the Boy Detectives, who he was relatively familiar with.
The members of the Junior Detective League looked at each other, completely unaware of this.
"What accomplice? Who is Sanhao Mazi? Is he a bad guy?"
"If he's a bad guy, let him see how powerful our Junior Detective Team is!"
As the leader of the Junior Detective Team, Kojima Genta said proudly.
"Hehe, even though we look like elementary school students, we are actually quite capable."
Listening to the kid bragging here, Inspector Megure sighed.
What on earth is going on? Why do the Junior Detectives seem to be intact?
Now that the Boy Detectives are intact, what about Kujuku Fumino? Where is she?
"…Well, just drink this and everything will be fine."
"Didn't she say that she would go back this afternoon? She can go anywhere."
Takagi Wataru and Sato Miwako, who were coming from another direction in the forest, looked at each other.
Each of them saw the solemnity in the other's eyes.
The man in the tent sounded wrong.
There is a high probability that Kujuku Bunno is being held hostage... We must treat this with caution.
Miwako Sato took off the safety of her pistol just as Takagi Wataru passed in front of the tent.
She immediately rolled into the tent and was about to empty her magazine at the unsuspecting criminals.
Then she understood why Takagi Wataru didn't shoot when he passed in front of the tent to attract the criminals' attention.
Because the so-called gangster was a young student wearing glasses and looked non-aggressive.
He still had cold medicine and a kettle in his hands, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to move or not.
And the person sitting next to him was a cute little girl with an innocent face——————
That is the child that Jiujiu Yuankang had in his old age, Jiujiu Wennai, who was only seven years old.
"…I am Miwako Sato, a police officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division 1, Criminal Investigation Division 3."
"Please put down your weapons immediately... and put your hands up."
"We suspect you are involved in a juvenile abduction case. Please cooperate with the investigation!"
Looking at the muzzle of Sato Miwako's gun and the policemen with pistols appearing behind her.
The young student gave a smile that was uglier than crying.
"I, I just come here to work, it's not that serious, it's really not that serious, sister."
