Chapter 553: The Fake Kaito Kid and the Unbreakable Vault
Polo Cafe downstairs from Maori Office.
Takagi Wataru, with a bandage on his face, was drinking coffee with the Mori family.
Mao Lilan was holding a newspaper and reading the report: "A brave police officer subdued the man after being shot..."
She looked at Takagi Wataru who was sitting opposite her with excitement: "That's it, right? The report about Officer Takagi!"
Takagi Shigeru touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "That's right, but it turned out like that because the criminal stole my gun."
Maori Kogoro said with empty eyes: "Shouldn't Officer Takagi be more careful? He lost his police manual before, and this time even his gun was stolen. Next time..."
The smile on Takagi Wataru's face froze and he didn't know what to say.
Kogoro Mouri took a bite of the sandwich and said leisurely: "You should thank me for this case, right? It was only thanks to the reasoning of a famous detective like me that we were able to find the criminal..." Although he still remembered nothing like before, since others said so, it must be the case that was solved by "Sleeping Kogoro".
Conan closed his eyes and thought to himself: Shouldn't I be the one who should be thanked?
He put on a full smile again and said, "But it's good that the case can be solved smoothly."
Takagi Wataru: "It's very good, in all aspects..."
He couldn't help but recall the time in the ward when Sato Miwako thought he wouldn't make it. But when she found out that the bullet was blocked by something and he wasn't seriously injured, her emotions went up and down, and she hugged him and kissed him. His face couldn't help but blush.
Mao Lilan saw that Takagi Wataru's face turned red, and she couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile: "Officer Takagi, Officer Takagi? Your face is so red."
Takagi Shigeru was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered, trying to get away with it.
Seeing Takagi Wataru's look, Mao Lilan confirmed her guess: "Did something good happen?"
Conan tilted his head and said innocently, "I know, I saw it with my own eyes!" His tone was ups and downs, and the Maori father and daughter immediately looked at him curiously.
Mao Lilan's gossip fire burned fiercely: "What, what did you see?"
"Hmph~" Conan drank a sip of juice leisurely, "He is in the ward, with Officer Sato..."
"Ahhhhhh! Wait, Conan!" Takagi Wataru shouted in panic, covering up what Conan was going to say next.
Suddenly, a melancholy sigh came from the side: "It's so happy."
Conan and his friends looked over in confusion and were surprised to find that it was an old acquaintance.
"Officer Nakamori?!"
Nakamori Ginzo sighed, "I really envy you guys who always win battles. I always have a bitter taste in my mouth when I drink coffee because I can't catch that cunning thief!"
At this time, Yuya and Miyano Shiho walked into the coffee shop together. He glanced at Nakamori Ginzo's table and said, "Officer Nakamori, the coffee is bitter probably simply because you didn't put sugar in it, right?"
"Ah?" Nakamori Ginzo was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously took a sip of coffee. As a result, "Ah, it's hot, hot, hot!"
Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at Yuya, as if to say, "See, you're the one who's talking too much."
Yuya smiled awkwardly and mouthed, "It's not my fault."
Hearing the guest's scream, Azusa Enomoto hurried over and asked with concern: "Guest, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay," Nakamori Ginzo said quickly, "For someone like me whose heart has already cooled to the bottom, this temperature is just right."
A question mark popped up above Azusa Enomoto's head. Just right? But you were burned and screamed? And what does "heart-broken" mean? Did this uncle break up with his lover?
But since the customer said so himself, she could only smile and turned back to continue cleaning the table.
Gao Mushi felt that he should care about his senior, so he asked: "What does 心冷 mean?"
Nakamori Ginzo sighed and said with a melancholy face: "It's because of that guy Kidd. There has been no news recently, which caused me to lose my fighting spirit."
Maori Kogoro looked up in surprise: "Didn't you read the newspaper?"
Ginzo Nakamori showed a confused expression.
Mao Lilan quickly turned the newspaper in her hand to the front page to show it to Nakamori Ginzo: "Look, it takes up a whole section! This time it's a challenge letter from Kaito Kid to his nemesis, Suzuki Shiro!"
"Eh? Eh, eh, eh?" Nakamori Ginzo's howling echoed in the coffee shop.
Youya picked at his ear which was almost pierced, and his brows couldn't help but twitch.
Kaito Kid, Suzuki Shiro... If he guessed correctly, he should be...
"Ding ding ding!" As expected, Youye's phone rang the next second.
Yuya opened the message and took a look, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Miyano Shiho came over curiously and saw the name of Suzuki Sonoko written in the sender column.
···
After receiving the invitation from Suzuki Sonoko, Yuya, Miyano Shiho, Conan, and Mori father and daughter came to the Suzuki family villa.
However, Suzuki Sonoko said that the Kaito Kid's notice letter was fake.
Mao Lilan was very surprised and asked what was going on.
However, Suzuki Sonoko said that it was Suzuki Jirokichi who said that.
Yuya put his hands behind his head and said in a bored tone, "The signature picture at the end of this notice is a little different from what Kid usually draws. In addition, Kid's previous notices were all written horizontally. This is the first time that a notice is written vertically."
Conan agreed, "Indeed, the writing style of the notice is also very old-fashioned, which doesn't quite match Kid's usual arrogant style."
Maori Kogoro complained somewhat dissatisfiedly: "If it's fake, why did you call us here?"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled and said, "Women's intuition! I feel that Mr. Kidd will definitely show up!"
Turning a corner, Suzuki Sonoko put one hand on her waist and said, "But there are more than one person who has the same idea as me!"
Everyone looked up and found that it was Nakamori Ginzo, who had made catching Kaito Kid his life's work. He was now ordering his men in a menacing manner.
"Listen carefully, don't let your guard down just because it might be a fake. Tonight is the night of the new moon as written in the notice, when the bright moon is swallowed by the night. Guard the vault room tightly!"
"Yes!" the police officers responded loudly.
Maori Kogoro was a little puzzled: "As expected, Inspector Nakamori is here too. If you want to guard, wouldn't it be better to guard directly next to the vault?"
“Because there’s no need!”
Suzuki Jirokichi walked over with his hands behind his back, looking confident.
"That was built by the famous engineer, Kichiemon Mimizu, before his death. It is a huge troll vault that no one else can contribute to!"
Kogoro Mori was a little confused.
Suzuki Jirokichi smiled proudly: "In that case, do you want to see the Iron Raven that I am so proud of with your own eyes?"
