Furthermore, he has some knowledge of Kogoro Mouri and Shiro Suzuki, since his youngest daughter and Kogoro Mouri's daughter are good friends.

However, he didn't investigate further and only knew that he was an ordinary detective. He didn't expect that he would have such an experience as a police officer.

"President Suzuki, thank you very much for inviting me here to assist with the case concerning Phantom Thief Kid."

However, since Inspector Nakamori is here, I'll just provide support from behind. After all, he's the head of the police's Cybercrime Division, so he must know a lot about Phantom Thief Kid, and maybe he already has a way to deal with him.

Kogoro Mouri could sense Shiro Suzuki's high regard for him and his investment in his future, so he was very grateful to Shiro Suzuki.

However, he still had to give back to Nakamori Ginzo, since it was Nakamori Ginzo who revealed his identity from ten years ago, which made Suzuki Shiro value him more.

Chapter 533 Were you all stunned?

Everyone is praising each other, and the atmosphere here is quite nice.

But at that moment, a discordant voice rang out beside Kogoro Mouri.

"Officer Nakamori, since your police force has a department dedicated to combating cybercrime, why haven't you caught even a tiny bit of information about Phantom Thief Kid all these years?"

His actions this time have generated such a huge buzz and sparked discussion across almost all of Japan.

If we can't catch Phantom Thief Kid, then your police force will really lose face.

Even when Shinichi Kudo was still a high school boy, he didn't have a very good impression of the police, let alone his understanding of Kaito Kid. He rarely thought that Kaito Kid was just a thief.

The fact that the police failed to find crucial evidence to arrest Kaito Kid more than a decade ago, and that his comeback battle more than a decade later was so widely publicized, clearly indicates that he was being manipulated by someone with ulterior motives.

Whether it's the Suzuki Foundation or Kaito Kid himself, the police should control this behavior and limit the spread of the crime to a very short period of time in order to control its impact.

So Shinichi Kudo, that little brat, didn't hold back at all, directly accusing the police of incompetence, and almost pointed at Ginzo Nakamori's face and cursed him.

After hearing Shinichi Kudo's words, Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki immediately turned their attention to him.

Everyone was surprised to find out that he was a primary school student.

"Detective Mori, did you resign from the police force because of this brat?"

He looks like a primary school student. Did you have another son?

Nakamori Ginzo's tone was a little harsh. His impression of Kogoro Mouri came from word of mouth among the police more than ten years ago, and he thought that Kogoro was a good police officer.

Since Kogoro Mouri left the police force to become a detective, no news has spread, which suggests that Kogoro Mouri is not doing well.

If it were just Kogoro Mouri who got involved in this, Ginzo Nakamori wouldn't have had any objections.

However, bringing in an elementary school student to completely deny the police's capabilities demonstrates that Kogoro Mouri's education of Shinichi Kudo has been a failure.

If Shinichi Kudo were his own son, he would definitely be knocked to the ground with two punches.

“Detective Mouri, the invitation I gave you on the phone was for you to come alone to assist the police in capturing Phantom Thief Kid, not for you to come here and wander around with your son.”

Shiro Suzuki also stated his position: if Kogoro Mouri came alone, there would be no problem, after all, he used to be a police officer and is now a detective, and it is very likely that he and Ginzo Nakamori could complement each other.

However, bringing an elementary school student along while working seems a bit disrespectful to this matter.

Shiro Suzuki actually knew something about Kogoro Mouri; he should only have one daughter, definitely not a son.

It is true that the elementary school student is brought here by Kogoro Mouri, and the relationship between the two seems a little abnormal.

After hearing what Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Shiro said, Mouri Kogoro became slightly nervous.

If Shinichi Kudo, an elementary school student, cannot be by his side to offer advice, his detective abilities will be greatly diminished, easily provoking the two's resentment.

At that point, it will be absolutely impossible to get any more tasks or commissions from here.

In fact, Kogoro Mouri has always maintained contact with the police because he can get some missions from his former partner, but they are all small missions that do not enhance his reputation.

Recently, thanks to Shinichi Kudo's help, the speed and quality of his work on commissions have been improving at an unprecedented rate.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri values ​​Shinichi Kudo quite a bit. Today, having received a commission from the Suzuki Foundation and met with police officers, he still values ​​this mission highly.

That's why Shinichi Kudo was brought along, because Shinichi Kudo's original identity was a famous high school detective, and he could very well provide great help in this operation.

"This elementary school student is not my son, but a student who is staying at my house. His name is Conan Edogawa."

He has a high talent for detective work. After my long-term training, he has become adept at noticing details that can help me with my actions.

I've completed many cases recently, all with his help, which is why I brought him along. Maybe he can use his childlike innocence to see through the master thief, Kaito Kid.

Kogoro Mouri explained Shinichi Kudo's identity and acknowledged Shinichi's deductive abilities, thus seeking the approval of Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki.

Nakamori Ginzo and Suzuki Shiro were also a little surprised. The old man had been quiet for the past few years, so his words were a little hard to believe.

However, it's still a bit unusual for an adult to praise a primary school student so highly.

"Detective Mori, isn't it a bit embarrassing for a detective to praise an elementary school student so highly?"

Ginzo Nakamori is a bit straightforward, and since Kogoro Mouri is no longer a police officer, he didn't hesitate to ask such a question.

If a detective does a good job, the police may very well consult him.

However, a detective who trusts elementary school students so much will certainly not gain the trust of the police.

"I don't think your police or the Suzuki Foundation need to take Kaito Kid's actions tonight seriously. It's unlikely that he will steal the jewel."

Furthermore, I believe that what you are showing now is definitely not the real gemstone, because it is a family heirloom of the Suzuki Group, and it is impossible for it to be revealed all at once.

Moreover, the other party is a thief who has been quiet for over ten years; it's definitely necessary to engage with him before making any further decisions.

After being underestimated, Shinichi Kudo immediately launched into a series of deductions, which earned him the attention of Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki.

Kogoro Mouri is the real detective, but after arriving here, he only engaged in mutual flattery and did not reveal his true abilities.

However, after being questioned, Shinichi Kudo, an elementary school student, came up with such a shocking reasoning. Could it be that Shinichi Kudo is really a genius?

"Well? Were you all amazed by his reasoning ability? This is all thanks to my teaching."

Chapter 534 Conan's Influence

Kogoro Mouri is incredibly shameless. This was originally Shinichi Kudo's ability, but he's now stealing it and claiming it as the result of his guidance.

Shinichi Kudo looked a little unhappy, but he didn't object, because he knew that if he wanted to stay, he would have to get the approval of Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki.

If I were still a high school detective, I could easily earn more respect from the president of a large conglomerate and police officers.

But now that he's a primary school student, he can only raise insects and listen to Kogoro Mouri's breath.

Moreover, he can only remain by Kogoro Mouri's side after gaining the approval of Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki.

"Detective Mori, I don't quite trust your guidance abilities. Perhaps, as you said, this elementary school student has a natural talent for detective work."

Shiro Suzuki expressed his approval of some young prodigies in a fairly direct manner.

However, he still had some opinions about Shinichi Kudo.

"Detective Mouri, even if he is a child prodigy, if he is not guided successfully, he may very well grow up in the wrong direction."

Moreover, I believe that the detective profession may very well become a forgotten one in the future.

If you truly care about this child, you should promptly correct some of his/her viewpoints and then train him/her to become a police officer.

Because you used to be a police officer, you have a strong grasp of certain knowledge points.

If the police do find a capable person, Detective Mori, you'll definitely benefit from it.

Especially in the last two years, a high school detective suddenly appeared, which made our police lose face quite a bit.

As a former police officer, you should feel ashamed.

Now that most of the people here are practically on their side, Nakamori Ginzo really doesn't hold back when he criticizes Kudo Shinichi.

Thinking the other party is just a mere high school detective, yet considering himself the savior of the police, he really has too much audacity.

After hearing what Nakamori Ginzo said, Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo looked a little uneasy.

Because the person in question, as mentioned by Nakamori Ginzo, was right in front of him, only now he had changed from a male high school student to an elementary school student.

"I do have a bit of a problem with that high school student, Shinichi Kudo."

However, there's no need to overestimate the other party's abilities, considering that he hasn't been able to communicate with anyone for quite some time.

If the police utilize their own resources to cultivate their own talent, they will definitely be able to surpass that high school detective.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri made his stance clear, and then received a glare from Shinichi Kudo, who hadn't expected that Kogoro Mouri would actually want to surpass him.

Kogoro Mouri should know exactly what kind of person he is and what abilities he possesses.

However, Shinichi Kudo did not reveal his true feelings because he was currently a primary school student.

Even if he has just deduced some things, it doesn't directly change his image in other people's minds.

"Detective Mori, your profession is that of a detective. Now you're saying that the police can train people who surpass detectives. Aren't you going against your professional ethics?"

Suzuki Shiro was a little curious about why Mouri Kogoro could say such a thing, so he asked directly without beating around the bush.

"If a truly talented person emerges in the police force, the impact will be far greater than that of a detective."

I'm not just a detective, I'm also a former police officer, so I hope this society can be a better place.

Our detective profession will never decline. Even if the police produce super-talented individuals, there will still be fertile ground for detectives to thrive.

Kogoro Mouri has far more social experience than Shinichi Kudo, and knows how to speak in a way that pleases others.

After hearing Kogoro Mouri's explanation, both Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki nodded, indicating their agreement.

"Little friend, can you now explain why you made that kind of reasoning earlier?"

Since Kogoro Mouri had already adopted this attitude, Ginzo Nakamori saw no need to target Shinichi Kudo any further. So he directly asked why Shinichi Kudo had just made a deduction about Kaito Kid.

The family heirloom that appeared in this museum this time is fake. They just wanted to see if the Phantom Thief Kid was the same guy who disappeared more than ten years ago.

However, only the people at the core of the operation know about this kind of thing. When Suzuki Shiro extended the invitation to Mouri Kogoro, he didn't mention anything like this.

Shinichi Kudo, such a clever little devil, not only figured out that the family heirloom was fake, but also guessed their series of plans. He can be said to be a naturally perceptive little guy.

"When they came in from outside, I saw police officers and security guards. Although they were all from the same organization, they didn't have much of a serious expression on their faces. Obviously, they also knew some inside information."

In addition, after checking some information online, I learned that Phantom Thief Kid has been missing for more than ten years.

Even if he were to make a comeback now, his age would have increased, and the police certainly wouldn't act rashly.
