Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 169: Comrade Kidd is actively joining the organization

"Hey, this is not a joke, right?" The conversation between Yuya Kazami and Yusaku Kudo naturally would not be heard by Shizue Tachibana and Kaito Kuroba.

So the two were sent to another room to rest.

After the public security police who took them to rest left, Kuroba Kaito started to get nervous.

"Why are you so panicked? You're Kaito Kidd, after all. You've seen the world. Why are you so impatient?"

Shizuka Tachibana was very disgusted with Kuroba Kaito's sudden and unexpected behavior, and the status of Kaito Kid in Shizuka Tachibana's heart was getting lower and lower.

"How could I not panic?! Those were Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko, and these guys locked them up just like that.

If you want to lock me up, isn't it just a matter of one word?"

Normally, Kuroba Kaito wouldn't be that panicked. As for Kaito Kidd, he was known for his elusive appearance and disappearance, leaving no one knowing what he looked like after he put on his outfit.

But that’s not the case now.

Yuya Kazami knew his true identity, that he was Kuroba Kaito. If they wanted to lock him up, there seemed to be no other way except to flee to the ends of the earth and become a wanted man nationwide.

Tachibana Shizuka expressed great envy of Kuroba Kaito's rich imagination.

"Look, it's urgent.

Don't you see who they are holding in prison? Yusaku Kudo is a world-class mystery writer. When he gets older, you can even call him a national treasure.

"Kudo Yukiko is just a bonus; the couple deserves such 'special treatment'."

"As for you, don't you think about why you're a thief? Even your father-in-law didn't know how much he let you off when he was chasing you."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Tachibana Shizuka stopped Kuroba Kaito from refuting and continued, "Let me ask you, Kuroba, you said you're so powerful Kaito Kid, but can you dodge a gunshot?"

"Of course not. I'm a Phantom Thief, not Superman. Unless the gunman points a gun right in front of me, I'll have time to react and find cover."

If you get shot from behind, you'll be injured, even if you don't die."

"Not bad, you're still pretty calm." Tachibana Shizuka reminded Kuroba Kaito, "But you have to know that your childhood sweetheart, Nakamori Aoko's father, Nakamori Ginzo, is also a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department.

The detectives from the First Investigation Division are armed with guns, so shouldn't the detectives from the Second Investigation Division also be armed with guns?"

"You've been in action so many times, Inspector Nakamori has arrested you so many times, but have you ever used a gun?

Strictly speaking, Inspector Nakamori should have gone easy on you. I don't understand why Inspector Nakamori would go easy on you even if it meant his police career would never see any progress."

"But isn't that why you underestimate the police?"

Shizuka Tachibana always felt that Kaito Kuroba seemed to have been "assimilated" by this group of criminals in Beika Town at some point.

It's one thing for those conceited, single-minded murderers to underestimate the police and detectives, but how could the great Kaito Kidd also have such a moment of confusion?
You should know that Japan is not a country that bans guns, it is a country that strictly controls guns.

This means that in Tokyo, as long as one has strong enough connections, it is very easy for a private individual to obtain a gun license.

In other words, for some large families and companies, it is not difficult to get a small armed team. You can't guarantee that their drivers and personal security personnel are armed with guns.

But not everyone is willing to pin their hopes on the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Uncle Nakamori." Tachibana Shizuka's words deeply touched Kuroba Kaito. Now he finally remembered that this uncle next door who was often fooled by him was actually a serious detective.

But as Tachibana Shizuka said, they had fought so many times and Ginzo Nakamori had never used a gun once.

Uncle Nakamori knows his identity?
Reason told Kuroba Kaito that this was impossible. He was also in his second year of high school and had just inherited the name of Kaito Kid.

Before this, he had no idea what Kaito Kidd was.

But reason is reason, and emotion is emotion. He always felt that Nakamori Ginzo seemed to know something, otherwise he would not do such a thing.

You're not related to me. Why are they so willing to let you go? Even if your crimes aren't serious enough, what about Kaito Kidd's provocation of the police?
No matter which country's police force is faced with such a provocation, they would not remain indifferent. If it were someone else, they would definitely use whatever tools they have and use whatever tools are most effective.

As for whether Kaito Kidd is dead or alive, who cares? If he's dead, it's just a few more pages of reports explaining that Kaito Kidd was shot dead on the spot after resisting arrest.

Maybe I can even get administrative leave approved.

"What should I do? Do you have any suggestions?" At this moment, Kuroba Kaito really didn't know what to do.

His skill tree was basically focused on magic, pretense, flirting, and stealing. He had never thought about dealing with official agencies before, and he didn't have time to avoid it.

As expected, no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

"That's easy. You have Officer Kazami's contact information now, right? Just ask him every now and then if he needs help.

Don’t be afraid of embarrassment or trouble. How can your leader remember you if you don’t show up?
Also, from time to time, reveal what you know to Officer Kazami. You have to let him know what you are good at, right?
You are a unique technical talent."

"Also, if you ever encounter a greedy businessman committing insurance fraud, an official colluding with a businessman, or a fugitive criminal, please report it to the police officer.

This isn't about troubling Officer Kazami, you're giving them credit."

"Even if it's not Officer Kazami's responsibility, can't he just use it as a favor?

Wouldn't Officer Kazami remember the favor when the time comes?"

"After a long time of this, won't you become one of us? Will you still be Kaito Kidd by then?"

Kuroba Kaito's brain short-circuited: "Am I not Kaito Kidd?"

"Hey, of course you're not. You're just a technical genius trying to infiltrate the enemy to eliminate crime. Where's the Phantom Thief Kid? Isn't that just bait to lure out the criminal gang?"

"Since the purpose is to lure the criminal group out, we naturally need the cooperation of other departments. By then, Officer Nakamori will not only be guilty, but he will also be credited with merit, and a great merit at that.

Do you understand what it means to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, young man?"

After hearing all this, Kuroba Kaito felt dizzy. It was a good thing that he debuted as a phantom thief in high school.

If society is full of people like this in the future, what will happen to him, a simple boy, if he is deceived by others?
After hearing what Tachibana Seiji said, could a bad thing turn into a good thing?
But he still had one last question: "No, what are you trying to achieve, brother?"
