It didn't take long for the other end of the line to answer.
"Moses Moses?"
It's an unfamiliar number, but the person who called must be someone I know.
"Director Hakuba, I am Ichiro Takayanagi, the head of the Takayanagi family. I am currently at home observing the situation outside the Beika Museum and I have some things I would like to discuss with you."
Takayanagi Ichiro called out the identity of the person on the other end of the line, and of course, revealed his own identity as well. He then explained the purpose of his call: to talk to the other party about the current situation of Kaito Kid.
"The new head of the Takayanagi family?"
After learning Takayanagi Ichiro's identity, Superintendent Hakuba was somewhat surprised.
He had certainly heard about some of the things that had happened to the Takayanagi family, since the police and the Takayanagi family did have some business dealings.
However, even if the other party's family has some dirty secrets, he will not interfere, because the two sides are roughly equal in strength.
"I didn't come to visit Director Bai Ma directly before for some reasons, and I hope you won't mind."
It's not work time now, so I wonder if you'd like to talk to me about Phantom Thief Kid?
"Of course there is no problem. I am also keeping an eye on the situation over there."
However, I wasn't broadcasting live, so I don't know what kind of connection you, Head of the Takayanagi family, have with this matter?
The fact that Takayanagi Ichiro specifically sought him out to discuss this matter indicates that Takayanagi Ichiro is somewhat involved in it, though the extent of his involvement is unknown.
If Takayanagi Ichiro is connected to the thief, then Superintendent General Hakuba will consider having Nakamori Ginzo handle this matter slowly.
Moreover, the police chief of police did not see the live broadcast, while Ichiro Takayanagi, an outsider, did. This is enough to show that Ichiro Takayanagi's abilities in some aspects far exceed those of the police.
"If your police force really wants some citizens to become fans and worshippers of thieves in the future, then we can get to the point."
The director of the White Horse Warning Office did not expect Ichiro Takayanagi to speak so seriously, that it was a problem of national character.
"Master Takayanagi, please speak freely. I am all ears." Director Hakuba immediately became serious on the phone.
Chapter 539 Changes at the Scene
There is an unspoken understanding between the police and the Takayanagi family that they will not contact each other unless it is an emergency.
Now that Ichiro Takayanagi has become the head of the Takayanagi family, he made an exception and contacted the police's chief of police, saying that it was a problem of national character and that the chief of police had to take it seriously.
The girls on the side showed no surprise when they learned that Takayanagi Ichiro had contacted the highest levels of the police with a single phone call.
Because in their hearts, Ichiro Takayanagi is the most perfect and invincible person.
Even now, it's perfectly normal for Ichiro Takayanagi to contact the Japanese Prime Minister and give him some tasks.
"Kaito Kid is a thief who has been silent for more than ten years, but I know that the guy who has suddenly come back now has definitely inherited Kaito Kid's abilities."
"If your police officers weren't fully prepared, they certainly wouldn't have been able to apprehend him."
At this moment, Takayanagi Ichiro belittled the police's capabilities without provoking the police's warning director's malice, because he knew what kind of power the Takayanagi family, which Takayanagi Ichiro represented, possessed.
If the Takayanagi family were to become enemies of the police, then it would definitely be a state of emergency.
Furthermore, Ichiro Takayanagi knows that the Phantom Thief Kid who has suddenly returned is almost identical to the original Phantom Thief Kid, which means that Ichiro Takayanagi has a very powerful intelligence network.
Perhaps Ichiro Takayanagi knows some other information about the police, so there's absolutely no need to offend him.
"Master Takayanagi, I received a report about the Intelligent Crime Division's operation this time, but I didn't think it was a crisis before."
But now that we've learned this news from you, the head of the Takayanagi family, it seems our intelligence is lagging behind.
I don't have any live stream content on my end right now. Could you please answer my question, Mr. Gao Liu?
Instead of remaining aloof, the police chief of police asked Ichiro Takayanagi for help.
Because Ichiro Takayanagi was able to see the live broadcast, he definitely knew much more than he did.
Even if the police wanted to report to him later, there would still be a time lag.
Therefore, if he could get detailed information from Ichiro Takayanagi, he could make many arrangements.
"The thing is like this..."
Takayanagi Ichiro made no attempt to conceal anything and directly explained the situation at the scene.
After listening to Ichiro Takayanagi's account, the police's chief of police finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
If the Phantom Thief Kid who is making a comeback this time is the successor to the Phantom Thief Kid, then he will definitely gain a lot of fans.
Many of them are young people, who are considered the future of Japan.
If these people become the pillars of Japan, wouldn't Japan become a nation of thieves?
No wonder Ichiro Takayanagi set such a high bar before; it really is a matter of national character.
"Master Takayanagi, thank you very much for reminding me this time. You are definitely a benefactor to the police."
The police chief thanked Ichiro Takayanagi over the phone and then hung up immediately.
"After this initial incident, any similar incidents will definitely be dealt with more strictly in the future."
"If you go out to play again, you won't encounter any more bad things." Takayanagi Ichiro put the phone away and spoke to the group of high school girls.
Ichiro Takayanagi was well aware of what those high school girls were thinking.
He was certainly willing to help them solve some problems.
"I had thought about visiting the Mihana Museum before, but I would feel very uncomfortable if it were occupied by some evil people."
Hopefully, the police can act quickly, otherwise, things could really get messy.
At this moment, Takayanagi Mitsuka spoke up, believing that Takayanagi Ichiro was doing it for her sake, and she was deeply moved.
I plan to teach more things to the four high school girls in my family so they can serve Takayanagi Ichiro well in the future.
Since Ichiro Takayanagi helped the girls accomplish some things, they should naturally receive some reward in return.
"Brother, it seems you've already learned to see through people's hearts."
"My mom hadn't even said anything, and you could already tell. That's really amazing."
At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi praised Ichiro Takayanagi, after all, Ichiro Takayanagi had genuinely helped her mother.
“I don’t have that ability, but I know what you’re thinking because you are all people I care about.”
When Takayanagi Ichiro said these words, all the women's hearts softened, because they had struck a chord with them.
However, they will have more time together, so there is nothing to worry about.
"I just don't know when the police will make changes." Gao Liu Mihua asked this question when she saw the still somewhat enthusiastic fans at the scene.
"Someone else must have come in; the crowd seems even more agitated now."
At this moment, Kasugano Sora pointed to the live broadcast screen and found that the previously frenzied crowd had indeed become agitated.
Then, the people watching the live stream saw more police officers appear and separate the frenzied crowd.
If we let them continue their madness, things will only get more outrageous.
At first, the frenzied onlookers intended to confront the police, since the officers who had been maintaining order there couldn't do anything to them.
However, they were quite surprised to see that these trusted officers were armed and had other control equipment on them.
You should know that this kind of equipment only appears in extremely important situations. Now they're treating them like members of a terrorist organization's anti-terrorism team.
"It's quite impressive that the police have such a strong ability to act; it seems they have excellent leadership within the police force," Sonoko Suzuki acknowledged the police's actions.
If left unchecked, it will definitely cause trouble.
It won't be this time; the next time Phantom Thief Kid acts, it will definitely be even crazier.
"We'll just wait and see what happens."
............
"What? The police and officers have come here, but I didn't receive any warning at all."
When Nakamori Ginzo received the message from his subordinates, he was stunned. As the highest-ranking officer on the scene, any changes should have been reported to him first.
Just then, Nakamori Ginzo's phone rang. When he took it out, he was surprised to see that it was the warning director calling.
Chapter 540 Kid, you're still too green.
This time, with the Phantom Thief Kid's return to the police force, some arrest plans were indeed reported, but there was absolutely no need to alarm someone as high-ranking as the Director of Police.
Perhaps the changes reported by my subordinates just now are related to Director Bai Ma.
This forced Nakamori Ginzo to answer the phone, and it also made him feel a little uneasy.
Before we've even started taking action, a big shot like the Director of Warning has already shown interest. Could it be that there's something wrong with our operation?
"Director Hakuba, this is Nakamori Ginzo. What are your instructions?"
Actually, everyone around Nakamori Ginzo was a little surprised when he received the message from the walkie-talkie.
Unexpectedly, a disturbance broke out among the crowd, and it even came from police action.
Could it be that the police are trying to incite some riots and create an incident?
But the police had absolutely no need to do that, because it would not benefit them at all and could easily provoke more conflict.
Unexpectedly, Nakamori Ginzo received a call from the head of the police force. Was he being questioned?
Both Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo felt a chill run down their spines. They had indeed come to help capture the thief Kaito Kid in order to make a name for themselves.
But now that the police's top leaders are paying attention, Shinichi Kudo is worried that his identity will be exposed.
If his true identity is discovered by the highest-ranking police officer, he will likely be sent to the Academy of Sciences for dissection and research.
Kogoro Mouri will be exposed for what he truly is, and the popularity and connections he has painstakingly built up over the past few days may very well vanish in an instant.
Suzuki Shiro wasn't surprised by Director Hakuba's identity, as they were on equal footing. What he was marveling at was the information from his youngest daughter.
Because his youngest daughter had told him on the phone that this time the Phantom Thief Kid might be the real deal, he agreed to let the police join the defense, and also brought along Kogoro Mouri.
The fact that even the highest-ranking police officials are paying attention is enough to show that this time, the Phantom Thief Kid is not an imitator, but very likely his successor or the thief from back then.
