Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 124 118. The trouble of insufficient firepower

On the evening of March 23st, 45:.

Lin Longma appeared at the entrance of Beihu City Hotel on time.

In the hall, seeing Lin Ryoma coming, Chamu and his men walked to the door to greet Lin Ryoma.

"President Lin, we've been waiting for you." The management officer Cha Mu was very enthusiastic. After politely bowing and greeting, he introduced to Lin Longma the subordinates behind him who had a unhappy look on their faces.

"President Lin, let me introduce you. This is Inspector Ginzo Nakamori of the Second Investigation Division.

Officer Nakamori and I will fully cooperate with Chairman Lin's actions tonight!"

"Hello, President Lin." Ginzo Nakamori shook hands with Lin Ryoma reluctantly and wanted to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, the management officer Cha Mu's eyes forced him to stop what he wanted to say.

"Officer Nakamori, I've long heard of your name." Lin Ryoma had actually heard of Officer Nakamori from the Second Investigation Section.

When exactly did you hear about it?

When the Isshin Clan was investigating Kaito Kid, they discovered that every time Kaito Kid committed a theft, it was Officer Nakamori who was responsible for catching him on the spot.

The Isshin-kai once believed that Officer Nakamori was Kaito Kid's accomplice in the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, since Kaito Kid always returns the stolen items to the original owner, Lin Ryoma really couldn't think of any benefit that Officer Nakamori could gain from the operation.

As for the money, it seems unlikely. Did Kaito Kid pay Officer Nakamori out of his own pocket after sending the stolen goods back?
But if you want to talk about merit, then there is even less. Kaito Kid returned the stolen goods to the victim, which at most can ensure that Nakamori Ginzo will make up for his mistakes, but if you want to talk about merit, then there is no merit at all.

There were no advantages at all, but a lot of disadvantages. The accomplice's speculation was rejected by Lin Longma.

At that time, Lin Longma had no idea about this, but since he met the management officer Cha Mu, Lin Longma seemed to understand why Officer Nakamori was defeated again and again.

A boss who doesn't take responsibility, plus his own abilities are a bit weak. It would be strange if he could catch Kaito Kidd.

But at least Nakamori's attitude is good. Although he has been defeated time and time again, from another perspective, can't we also say that he keeps fighting despite repeated defeats?
This kind of spirit of becoming more courageous after facing setbacks is something that most people cannot do.

Lin Longma smiled and said to Cha Mu, "President Suzuki asked me to be in charge of the guarding of the Black Star, and I am under a lot of psychological pressure.

I have never done anything like this before.”

"If Administrator Chamu is willing to help, I can definitely hand over the command to Administrator Chamu!"

Hayashi Ryoma did not mention Officer Nakamori at all, but he seemed to be planning to hand over the command to the police.

Cha Mu became very anxious when he saw this.

This blame that fell from the sky was finally thrown away, and now Lin Longma wants to throw it back?

Not to mention there is no door, there is not even a window!

Chaki knew his men too well. Just when Hayashi Ryoma suggested that the police should take charge of the command, Nakamori Ginzo stepped forward and was about to agree.

As a result, Chamu waved his hand and firmly held down Ginzo Nakamori.

We can't let Ginzo Nakamori take the blame at this time.

"President Lin, you are really too kind! After all, it was President Lin who was entrusted by President Suzuki, and we really can't take over. But please rest assured, if there is anything you need help with, we, the police, will do our best to help!"

The arrest team at Beido City Hotel was mainly composed of members of the security company under the Suzuki Group.

The detectives brought by Manager Chaki are still at the Suzuki Museum of Contemporary Art, guarding against the possible arrival of Kaito Kid.

But there is another small group of police officers inside the Haido City Hotel. These are the people that Officer Nakamori deployed here in advance after cracking the warning letter from Kaito Kid.

Now, this group of detectives are all on standby at the spot under Cha Mu's order. Their main goal is not to get involved if they can.

Lin Longma gave Officer Nakamori a helpless look. This was the best he could do this time.

The entire "capture team" of Kaito Kid is led by people from the Suzuki Group, and the commanders are the famous detectives Kogoro Mori and Nozomi Okami, who were found by Hayashi Ryoma.

Lin Longma did not put any people from Yi Xin Hui into this team because he was trying to prevent too much joint liability caused by the failure of the operation.

In the current situation, if there is any failure, the responsibility will either be on the Suzuki Group's operatives or on the two famous detectives.

Lin Longma was just the organizer of the party, can we really blame him?
This is not reasonable either.

So unless Cha Mu steps forward and chooses to take responsibility, if Lin Longma stuffs these policemen into the team, who will be responsible if something goes wrong with them?
To deal with a slippery "partner" like Chamu, the responsibilities of all parties must be clarified before taking action.

Otherwise, this guy would definitely not mind stabbing Lin Longma in the back when he encountered a crisis or setback.

“Then can I ask Officer Chamu to keep an eye out for any suspicious persons around and inside the hotel?

I will go meet up with Mr. Maori and the others first."

Lin Ryoma nodded to Nakamori Ginzo and walked towards the elevator.
.
Inside the presidential suite of Beihu City Hotel.

This presidential suite has been temporarily "transformed" into a makeshift command center. The Mori family, Okami Zhushan, and some executives of Suzuki Security Company are busy making arrangements.

There is not much time left until April 1st, and the time for Kaito Kidd to take action as deduced by Okami Zhushan is about to come.

From midnight to 4 a.m., everyone will remain on high alert during these four hours.

"Mr. Maori, Mr. Okami, how is the arrest team preparing?" Lin Longma took off his coat after entering the suite and asked the two.

"President Lin, rest assured. We have made all the necessary preparations this time. We will make sure that Kaito Kidd will never come back!"

As soon as you hear this extremely confident speech, you know that it is Maori Kogoro who is speaking. Maori Kogoro has never fought such a rich battle in his many years as a police officer!

Since when did it take so many people to catch a thief?
The veteran detective Okami Jozen is more cautious. Since Kaito Kid has been able to operate for so many years without being arrested, it is obvious that he is a capable thief.

There was only one thing that was not good about the security guard of Suzuki Security Company, Da Shang Zhu Shan:

"The fact that we can't use non-lethal weapons is somewhat restrictive, so we can only use our numerical advantage to offset our equipment disadvantage."

Okami Zhushan's words shocked Kogoro Maori. He said, "You are not my buddy, what's wrong with you?"

If the situation allowed, would you still be prepared to use a gun to greet Kaito Kid? !

Are you going to beat him to a pulp?
