Chapter 736 Beika Town: An average of one serious incident every five hours

"Two serious hostage incidents have occurred today? And both of them happened in the Beika Town area?"

Ekoda High School, afternoon break.

Hakuba Saguru looked at the information displayed on his phone with some surprise. It clearly stated the two incidents that occurred in the Beika Town area this morning and noon.

Based on the frequency of less than one serious incident every five hours on average, there is a high probability that two more serious incidents will occur this afternoon and evening.

The incidence of these bizarre and grotesque cases is definitely among the highest in the world.

What's even more extreme in the world is the chaotic class schedules of schools in the Beika Town area.

Compared to Beika Town.

In the nearby Ekoda area, class schedules are barely maintaining normal levels.

This made Hakuba Saguru think.

Why is Beika Town so special?

Is there some hidden secret here? Or is there some other factor at play?
Was Chen En involved in both incidents?

Hakuba Saguru used his phone to browse the records related to the two incidents in the information.

The records inside are almost all of the same group of people.

The members of the Junior Detective League are Professor Agasa, Chen En, Shinichi Kudo, and Kuwatero.

The first four people were regulars.

But the one behind it, Kuvatro Bagina, was a completely new species that had never been seen before.

What's this guy's background?
A captain at a US military base? Are there really captains with that kind of personality at military bases?

Bai Ma Tan was somewhat skeptical.

If he hadn't been attending classes at Ekoda High School, he probably would have returned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department the moment he received the message.

He had a premonition.

This so-called Kuvatro Bagina is not as simple as he seems on the surface; there must be other shocking secrets or identities hidden behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Hakuba Saguru was immediately startled.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Kaito Kuroba beside him, wondering when this second-generation Phantom Thief Kid had appeared silently next to him.

To tell the truth.

He was quite surprised that Kaito Kuroba was able to escape from the trap he had set up the previous night, because Shinichi Kudo had performed better than him.

That soccer ball that could easily leave spiderweb-like holes in the wall, plus all sorts of wonderful little gadgets.

Shinichi Kudo's combat ability is no less than his, and is definitely much stronger than the tranquilizer darts strategy he used.

But Phantom Thief Kid still managed to escape.

According to Nakamori Ginzo's report.

The reason why Phantom Thief Kid was able to escape from the core area was because someone attacked Suzuki Jirokichi and Kudo Yusaku in the control room and opened the mechanism door.

Does Phantom Thief Kid have such an accomplice?
Theoretically speaking, yes.

Since Batman once fought alongside Phantom Thief Kid against the illusionist Spider, it's not impossible that he might help Phantom Thief Kid.

However, while Phantom Thief Kid is invading the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, Batman is dealing with bomb threats in various areas of Beika Town.

Therefore, Phantom Thief Kid should be isolated and helpless.

He shouldn't have an accomplice who can help him deal with Suzuki Jirokichi and Kudo Yusaku in the control room and allow him to turn the tide.

"nothing."

Hakuba closed his flip phone, and the light inside immediately went out.

But this obviously meant nothing to Kaito Kuroba, whose intelligence score of 400 in the test was no joke.

Kaito Kuroba had only glanced at the phone once, yet he had already memorized everything Hakuba Saguru had just looked at. Without a doubt, it was another serious incident in Beika Town.

In his memory, Hakuba Saguru had been dealing with a heinous murder case over there without engaging in combat with him.

It seems that if Hakuba Saguru hadn't been unable to ask for leave on his first day at his new school, he probably would have already disappeared.

That's good too. The busier this guy is, the better it is for him, since black and white are inseparable rivals.

He can relax a lot now.

"Well, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."

"After all, you're a renowned detective in Britain and a special advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. You must be incredibly busy every day, right?"

Kaito Kuroba put his hands behind his neck and said with a grin, completely unlike the poker face he had as the Phantom Thief Kid.

If it were an ordinary person...

Or perhaps because of Kaito Kuroba's performance, people already believe that Kaito Kuroba is not the always elegant and composed Phantom Thief Kid.

However, Hakuba Saguru will not change his mind.

Now that he has confirmed that Kaito Kuroba is Kaito Kid, he will never give up on this idea.

He only wants to catch Kaito Kid on the spot and prove that Kaito Kid is actually Kaito Kuroba.

"...Although I am very busy."

"But if we can free up our hands, catching that white-clad thief shouldn't be a problem."

Hakuba Saguru said without backing down.

His gaze fell on Kaito Kuroba's face, recalling the information he had previously gathered about the illusionist Spider returning to Tokyo.

Finally, he said...

"Kuroba-kun."

"I will soon find out who that accomplice who helped you deal with Mr. Suzuki at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall is."

"At the next theft scene where you issue a notice, I will catch you in broad daylight..."

"Don't die before that."

Having said that.

Suddenly, Nakamori Aoko intervened, appearing between the two. She looked around suspiciously before speaking seriously.

"Stop whispering!"

"Kaito, class is about to start, hurry back to your seat!"

"The same goes for Hakuba-kun..."

"Besides, Hakuba-kun, could you please stop claiming that Kaito's true identity is Kaito Kid?"

"After our bet, Kaito has already proven that he's not Kaito Kid, right?"

That was the bet Hakuba Saguru made with Nakamori Aoko when he first clashed with Kaito Kid.

Nakamori Aoko hadn't forgotten the contents of their bet, especially after hearing Hakuba Saguru say that Kuroba Kaito was Kaito Kid.

He immediately shielded Kaito Kuroba behind him and went straight to confront Saguru Hakuba, leaving Hakuba speechless.

The teacher's footsteps could be heard outside.

Nakamori Aoko, somewhat flustered, pushed Kuroba Kaito back to his seat, and then sat back down herself.

"What a boring guy..."

Sitting behind Kaito Kuroba, Akako Koizumi rested her right cheek on her hand, looking bored, her gaze fixed on Saguru Hakuba.

Why did this famous detective, renowned throughout the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, transfer to Ekoda High School...?

She already knew the reason.

The goal is obvious; there is only one.

That was the student, Mine Sayaka, who caused the entire channel communication blockage in the Ekoda area!
