Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 114 Looking forward to our next meeting

The white gas mist is thinning because the window was broken.

The reporters and fans outside cheered with joy.

Police, helicopters, white fog, and a gunman in a black trench coat—the scene was quite grand, and the audience was already aroused and highly enthusiastic.

Is this the kind of pomp and circumstance Kaito Kid has?

One of the girls was the most enthusiastic, and her loud voice was the most eye-catching.

"Ran! Look, this is Lord Kid! We even need to deploy a helicopter to capture him, and he always manages to escape!"

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up, her heart pounded, and she wished she could enter right now and witness the spectacular moment when Kid stole the Brilliant Flower.

"Sonoko, you're being too loud! My ears are going to go deaf!"

Xiaolan was dizzy and helpless, feeling like she was seeing stars as the garden shook her head.

If this continues, we'll lose all our own people!

She vowed that she would never come with Sonoko to watch Kid steal the jewels again.

She didn't know if Kid would be arrested, but she was sure Sonoko would ruin her.

"Hey! Sonoko-neechan, are these really police officers?"

"Of course, what do you know, kid? Driving a helicopter in broad daylight, who else but the police could do that?"

Conan's expression was serious, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

He remembered that the Metropolitan Police Department's helicopters all had cherry blossom symbols and the words "Metropolitan Police Department" painted on their fuselages, but these two did not.

Something is wrong!
Furthermore, even special forces shouldn't wear black trench coats; black combat uniforms would be more in line with the special forces' style of operation.

These guys in black trench coats, why do they look like members of the Black Organization?

Thinking of this, Conan's expression changed drastically.

"Sister Xiaolan, I really need to pee. I'm going to find a restroom. You and Sister Yuanzi can go ahead and I'll come back to you later."

Conan dashed away, sensing the case calling to the great detective.

"Conan!" Ran called out, but Conan didn't turn around at all.

Sonoko put her arm around Ran's shoulder, seemingly unconcerned, and said:

"Forget about Conan, Lord Kid might be coming out soon. You've definitely never seen a white glider soaring through the night, a magic thief hovering in the moonlight, or an elegant and polite gentleman!!!"

The officers on the perimeter looked puzzled when they saw the helicopter.

(⊙_⊙)?
Contrary to what was agreed upon, no helicopter was requested today, and what's with all those black trench coats?

These guys aren't from the Metropolitan Police Department at all!

The astute police officers sensed something was wrong and kept calling Inspector Nakamori over the radio.

However, Nakamori Ginzo was already lost in his dream and couldn't extricate himself from it, let alone answer their calls.

Several police officers strode towards the exhibition center's main entrance, intending to enter and investigate. However, the entrance had already been locked by Officer Nakamori and could not be opened in a short time.

In the exhibition hall, a dazzling flower stands alone, shimmering in the white mist, which further enhances the dreamlike quality of the gemstone.

Kaito shifted his gaze from the gemstone and locked it onto the man walking towards him.

"Let me see if you really are Kuroba Toichi."

The man in the police uniform reached out to tear off his mask.

Kaito remained completely unfazed and pressed the button on the small remote control in his hand.

Instantly, four or five grayish-white cylindrical objects fell from the exhaust pipe.

The man in the police uniform turned his head, and the curiosity in his eyes gradually turned into surprise and panic.

"Get down! It's a flashbang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light filled the entire exhibition hall, and everyone went blind.

There were only two exceptions.

Kaito Kuroba leaped up as if unaffected by gravity, landing directly on the Brilliant Flower display stand.

Xia Chuan, without suspecting anything, fired directly.

The target wasn't Kidd, but the men in black trench coats who had just broken in through the window. Blinded by the flashbang, it was the perfect opportunity to take them out. Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots echoed through the exhibition hall, and one by one, the trench coat men collapsed.

At the same time, Kaito Kuroba, who had just won the Brilliant Flower, pulled out his playing card gun and fired at the man in the black trench coat on the other side.

The playing cards swished and swished across the deck. The men in black trench coats, having just regained their sight, suddenly felt their arms go numb, and the assault rifles in their hands clattered to the ground.

"Hey! That's a real gun! You know you're killing people!"

Kaito Kuroba's expression was grave. After confirming that all the men in black trench coats had fallen, he pointed his gun at Natsukawa.

This guy is going too far! These are living, breathing human lives. Even if they were illegally possessing guns, they should be judged by the law, not by some unknown person.

Although he had just stood next to Inspector Nakamori, he was certain that this guy was definitely not one of the police. Don't ask why; his IQ of 400 told him so.

"They deserve the judgment of the law, not to fall under your gun!"

"Oh, excuse me, but I represent the law now! And this is my jewel, I have the right to protect my property from harm, right, Phantom Thief Kid!" Xia Chuan produced an ID card and waved it in his hand.

Kaito Kuroba has perfect vision in both eyes, so he immediately saw the graphic above.

Japanese National Tax Agency credentials.

When will the IRS be allowed to carry guns on duty?

"It's a new cabinet policy, but it's still in the trial phase. If you have any questions, you can complain to the Ministry of Finance or the National Police Agency. But given your status, you'll probably be arrested and thrown in jail before you even get a chance to file a complaint."

"Therefore, I advise you to be kind."

Xia Chuan retrieved the identification documents, which Frank had given him.

According to him, he got it from his father-in-law.

The person who was coming was Natsukawa Shin, after all, the other party had already told him about it before, but the word 'father-in-law' was still on his mind.

This is open to discussion.

He didn't believe Frank had a girlfriend!
Now he had a legitimate government identity and was no longer an unemployed bum.

As for the policy he mentioned, it was indeed not unfounded. It is a new IRS regulation that is currently being piloted, granting some special investigators the legal right to carry firearms in case of unforeseen circumstances during investigations.

After all, those who don't pay taxes are not to be trifled with.

In particular, special investigators are always investigating conglomerates and yakuza groups, so carrying a gun gives them some self-defense capabilities.

Gunshots rang out again, this time not from Xia Chuan, but from the man in the police uniform.

"Damn bastard!"

When the police officer spotted the flashbang, he took cover behind a pillar, which put him just out of Xia Chuan's line of sight, thus saving him from injury.

After emptying a magazine, not a single bullet hit Xia Chuan.

"Look, if I don't shoot, I'm the one who will die."

Hiding behind the display case, Natsukawa still had the mood to chat with Kaito Kid: "Also, the Yakumoto Foundation has already given me this gem. I'm sorry, you can't take it with you."

As he spoke, he swiftly snatched the gem from Kaito Kuroba's hand.

Holding the gemstone, Xia Chuan could clearly feel that there was something wrong with its texture.

It was soft, warm, and even struggled a little.

Looking down, I realized that the gem in my hand had somehow turned into a pigeon.

Then he saw that the pigeon had pooped on the ground; obviously, he had squeezed too tightly and scared the pigeon so much that it defecated.

"No matter who it belonged to before, it now belongs to me!"

Kaito Kuroba smiled contemptuously, knocked the policeman's pistol away with his playing card gun, then leaped up and stood atop the broken high window, his gaze fixed on the other phantom thief, Kid, who had just taken off.

"Sir, I look forward to seeing you again."

Kaito Kuroba gave a farewell bow, opened his arms, leaned back, and disappeared above the high window.

Xia Chuan chuckled, watching their glamorous departure.

It has to be said that Kaito is very talented; at least when it comes to showing off, he's no less skilled than Toichi Kuroba.

"You funny little devil, but I hope you like the gift I sent you."
