Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 327

Didan Primary School.

Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived at the school early and stood guard at the gate to welcome the students.

There was no other way; the physical education teachers at Teitan Elementary School had the most free time, so Kitahara Natsuhiro had to work part-time as a security guard to protect the students going to school during his free time.

After all, this era isn't particularly safe, and this is Conan's world, so there are always some outlaws who will do illegal things.

For example, targeting elementary school students.

Fortunately, Teitan Elementary School is a key elementary school in Beika Town, and traffic police usually direct traffic and patrol the area.

So under normal circumstances there are no problems.

Good morning, Kitahara-sensei.

"Morning."

Kitahara Natsuhiro was already a celebrity at Teitan Elementary School, so students passing by would greet him.

After all, they didn't want Kitahara Natsuyu to come knocking on their door.

Moreover, Kitahara Natsuhiro might not remember who greeted him in the morning, but he would definitely remember who didn't.

Although Kitahara Natsuhiro has a good memory, he is not the kind of petty person who is calculating and stingy.

Don't you dare ruin my reputation!
Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!
Good morning, Xia Yu.

Just then, Ai walked in from outside, yawning as always, looking quite listless.

But in reality, Ai had already had a good night's sleep and was full of energy.

The reason she acts this way is entirely due to her habits within the organization; because she often stays up late, she yawns frequently.

Over time, it turned out like this.

However, Ai didn't think it was a big deal, so she didn't change it much.

So Ai Haibara looks listless, but she's actually quite energetic.

"Good morning, Ai." Kitahara Natsuyu said, "You're up pretty early today. I thought you were going to be on time for work again."

Because the school nurse isn't too busy, Ai usually arrives at work right on time and rarely comes this early.

Upon hearing this, Ai said, "I just went to bed early yesterday, and today is the first day of school, so it wouldn't be good to be late. That's why I came a little early."

"They look pretty good, especially the kids, they're very energetic."

Ai quite likes the children at these schools, although sometimes they can be very troublesome, even asking some very difficult questions.

Fortunately, Ai is very good at dealing with people, and she quickly subdued these little guys, who dared not resist in the slightest.

And Ai was just a little bit away from becoming a member of the elementary school students.

Without Kitahara Natsuhiro's help, Ai would probably be enrolled in school by now, quietly calling out "Teacher, Teacher, Kitahara-sensei."

Of course, Ai also called him "teacher" when they were at home.

These are some little romantic gestures between boyfriends and girlfriends.

It's just more exciting.

“You are indeed very energetic, but sometimes being too energetic is not a good thing.” Kitahara Natsuhiro shook his head.

At this age, kids are incredibly energetic, to the point of being frightening.

"It's alright, you're here."

"I'm going in now, see you later."

With that, Ai waved and left the school gate, then walked towards her office.

Shortly after Ai left, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko arrived together.

Upon seeing Kitahara Natsuhiro, they all sweetly called out, "Kitahara-sensei."

Kitahara Natsuhiro also greeted Conan and the others.

Not long
The school bell rang at Teitan Elementary School, but some students still rushed in from outside the school.

Kitahara Natsuyu did not stop the little guys from entering, and let them in anyway.

Anyway, all these kids' names will be recorded, and then their respective homeroom teachers will go and cause them 'trouble'.

One good thing is that no one in their class was late, all thanks to his guidance.

Congratulations, congratulations.

"Alright, you can close the door now."

Kitahara Natsuhiro muttered something to himself, then closed the gate of Teitan Elementary School, greeted the gatekeeper, turned around and went back to the school building, and began his patrol on the first day of the new semester.

Meanwhile, at the Suzuki Estate.

At this moment, Suzuki Shiro, the head of the Suzuki family, was at home and was receiving a visit from Metropolitan Police Department officer, Nakamori Ginzo.

Why would Ginzo Nakamori of the Metropolitan Police Department meet with the head of a zaibatsu? It's all thanks to Kaito Kid.

Because Phantom Thief Kid had sent out a notice beforehand, saying that he would take away the Suzuki Zaibatsu's heirloom, Dark Star.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department's decryption of the Phantom Thief Kid's notice, they now know the timing of the Phantom Thief Kid's operation.

That means the operation will take place between the early morning of March 31st and April 1st.

Inspector Nakamori of the Metropolitan Police Department was indeed right, but he was also wrong.

Because April 1st is April Fool's Day, Phantom Thief Kid chose this time to commit the heist specifically to have some fun.

After having some fun, he planned to leave a pre-announcement letter, letting the other party continue deciphering the message.

Of course, the second card wasn't really a decryption; it was already revealed, and its purpose was the Suzuki Zaibatsu's Dark Star.

I wonder what methods Phantom Thief Kid will use.

However, this has not yet happened, so after deciphering the notice from some time ago, he immediately led his men to the Suzuki Manor to meet with Suzuki Shiro.

And today is already March 30th, which means that Phantom Thief Kid will start his operation tomorrow night.

"Chairman Suzuki!"

Ginzo Nakamori and Shiro Suzuki met in the garden, with police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and servants from the Suzuki Zaibatsu also present.

"Inspector Nakamori, did you come here today because of that thief's notice?" Suzuki Shiro picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Nakamori Ginzo, seemingly not worried about the thief Kaito Kid at all.

This is understandable, after all, the Suzuki Group is a world-class conglomerate, how could they be afraid of a thief like Kaito Kid?

Although the Metropolitan Police Department would take full responsibility for this matter, Shiro Suzuki did not trust the people in the Metropolitan Police Department very much because the Metropolitan Police Department had a very bad reputation in Tokyo.

It's better to trust your own bodyguards than the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department.

After all, their bodyguards are trained and licensed, so dealing with a petty thief is no problem at all.

However, the matter of Kaito Kid also involved the Metropolitan Police Department's authority, which is why Shiro Suzuki involved them. But he still trusted his own bodyguards.

The Metropolitan Police Department officers were just an extra.

“Yes.” Nakamori Ginzo sat up straight and said seriously, “Based on our analysis, we already know when the Phantom Thief Kid will come to steal your Suzuki Zaibatsu’s heirloom.”

"Oh? When?" Suzuki Shiro asked with a smile.

Shiro Suzuki has this kind of personality; he is very gentle to everyone and doesn't seem dangerous at all.

But if you really think of Shiro Suzuki as a weak person, you'll only hurt yourself.

After all, he is the chairman of the Suzuki Zaibatsu; how could he only be mild-mannered?

Maybe this guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"It will be between 10 pm and midnight tomorrow night. Kaito Kid will definitely make his move then."

"But don't worry, Chairman, we will definitely bring Phantom Thief Kid to justice and make that guy repent in prison!"

"Let him know just how terrifying it is to mess with me, Nakamori Ginzo!"

As he spoke, Nakamori Ginzo stood up from his chair, clenched his fists, and flames began to rise from his body.

The Metropolitan Police Department officers standing nearby gave an awkward but polite smile upon seeing this scene.

There was nothing they could do; that was just how their boss, Nakamori Ginzo, was.

But this time, the person they were meeting was the chairman of the Suzuki Zaibatsu.

Officer Nakamori, aren't you being incredibly rude?

"Hahaha," Suzuki Shiro laughed as he looked at Nakamori Ginzo, still as amiable as ever: "It seems that Officer Nakamori is very confident in catching this thief."

"Then let's wait and see."

"However, our Suzuki conglomerate's security will also be involved, so I'm letting you know, Officer Nakamori."

It's about telling, not asking.

After all, Shiro Suzuki wields absolute power in Japan, and even the Metropolitan Police Department cannot defy him.

It's important to understand that the Suzuki conglomerate's influence extends to all sectors, including the Metropolitan Police Department.

Nobody knows how many police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department have connections with the Suzuki zaibatsu.

Furthermore, this item is a family heirloom of the Suzuki zaibatsu, so it's only natural that they would send people to protect it.

Even the Metropolitan Police Department wouldn't say anything.

Moreover, Nakamori Ginzo was aware of the power of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, so naturally he wouldn't refuse this offer, and he couldn't refuse it anyway.

However, he believed that he would eventually be the one to catch the Phantom Thief Kid.

After all, he's been a rival of Kaito Kid for decades!

They've been fighting for decades?
So why can't you tell that this Phantom Thief Kid is the second generation?
So, Nakamori Ginzo is really no good!
Furthermore, it would be very difficult for him to catch Kaito Kid. If he could catch him, he would have done so more than ten years ago. Why would he wait until now?

Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo will fail again this time.

“No problem.” Nakamori Ginzo came to his senses: “The security of the Suzuki Zaibatsu is world-renowned. With their involvement, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. Of course, I will not refuse.”

"I'll have to trouble Chairman Suzuki then."

"Oh, there," Suzuki Shiro said with a smile. "It's getting late, why don't you stay for lunch?"

"This"

"It's just some simple food, nothing special," Suzuki Shiro said. "Besides, you helped us catch that thief, so it's only right that we treat Inspector Nakamori to a meal."

"I hope you don't mind."

"Yes, yes, then I'll have to trouble Chairman Suzuki." Nakamori Ginzo bowed slightly.

At the same time, the two police officers behind him also bowed slightly to express their gratitude.

Shiro Suzuki had already given Ginzo Nakamori plenty of face; if he continued to refuse, it wouldn't be appropriate, as it would be disrespectful.

Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo readily agreed.

His two subordinates were already secretly delighted.

After all, this is the Suzuki Estate, the home of Shiro Suzuki, and the Suzuki family is a world-class conglomerate, so their lunch must be very lavish.

Thinking about this, the two police officers began to fantasize about what top-quality ingredients they would be able to eat here today.

And just as the two Metropolitan Police Department officers had thought, they really did have a top-notch meal for lunch today.

Although this kind of food can be found outside, it is too expensive for them to afford.

But today, they can actually get a free meal from the Suzuki conglomerate.

It's really great!

Didan Primary School.

Class A, Grade 1.

"Conan, have you heard? The Metropolitan Police Department seems to know the contents of Kaito Kid's notice and said they're sure they can catch him this time. Do you think they can?" After class, Ayumi came to Conan and asked excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Conan sat down and said softly, "I've read today's newspaper too, but I don't think the Metropolitan Police Department can catch that Phantom Thief Kid."

He was well aware of the Metropolitan Police Department's capabilities; they had the ability, but it wasn't enough.

To deal with such a top-notch thief, it takes high school detective Shinichi Kudo.

And before this, he had already clashed with Phantom Thief Kid.

That time, the one who lost was Kaito Kid, but unfortunately, they didn't manage to catch him.

But this time, he absolutely wouldn't let Kaito Kid slip away from under his nose again.

Similarly, he already knew the contents of Kaito Kid's pre-announcement letter and had deciphered it.

So on the night of the 31st, he was going to find Phantom Thief Kid to get close to him and catch that despicable thief.

Kaito Kid: Don't come any closer!
Kaito Kuroba knew of his cousin's existence and how troublesome he was.

However, he was still very confident in himself and did not think he would lose to his cousin.

He lost last time because he was a new phantom thief and not skilled enough, but this time, he can't possibly lose.

“That’s right. The Metropolitan Police Department has clashed with Phantom Thief Kid several times, but they’ve always ended up failing. This time will definitely be the same.” Genta said excitedly, “And, I might even be able to catch Phantom Thief Kid!”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Genta and then laughed.

"What do you mean?!" Genta blushed a little. He knew he was bragging, but those smiles were just too much!
"It's nothing, I just think Yuan Tai Ni needs to work harder!"

"Yes, that's it!"
