Chapter 138 The Phantom Thief Kid is Actually Quite Good

Thinking of Sonoko, a fan who trusted him completely, Kid hummed a little tune and slowly walked away with his signature smile.

But he didn't know that because he had to release that rushed announcement in order to meet Sonoko's expectations, he almost caused chaos in the Metropolitan Police Department.

After the notices kept popping up from printers all over the Suzuki family home, they were discovered by the police and soon reported to Inspector Megure's superior, Kiyoshi Matsumoto.

Upon learning that Kid had coincidentally appeared at the Suzuki residence, Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately thought of using this as a plausible excuse for the First Investigation Division to create this farce, allowing Inspector Megure to stay at the Suzuki residence to assist in the defense of the Egg of Memories.

After doing all this, a smile finally appeared on Matsumoto Kiyonaga's previously unpleasant face.

At the same time, he silently thought to himself, "This Phantom Thief Kid is actually quite kind. He knew they were in a difficult situation, so he came out to help them out."

So he made up his mind that once he caught Kidd, he would make sure that Kidd received the punishment a normal criminal deserved after being imprisoned.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Second Investigation Division.

Looking at his superior, Chataro Kamiki, the superintendent of the Second Investigation Division, who had just called him into his office, Nakamori Ginzo exclaimed in surprise, "News about Kaito Kid!"

Kamiki Chataro nodded, pointing somewhat helplessly to the phone call that had just ended, and said to Nakamori Ginzo, "That's right! According to our reliable intelligence, Phantom Thief Kid has reappeared, but for some reason, the First Investigation Division received the intelligence earlier than us and has already rushed to the Suzuki residence!"

"What?" Nakamori Ginzo asked, puzzled and somewhat annoyed, "Isn't Kid always handled by our Second Investigation Division? Besides, the First Division is too busy dealing with murder cases every day, why would they have time to concern themselves with Kid's affairs?"

Kamiki Chataro closed his eyes, recalling the reasons Matsumoto Kiyonaga had just told him, and sighed, saying, "The reason they gave was that there were some doubts in the 'Scoughing' case, and they wanted to capture Kidd to confirm it personally. These are Inspector Matsumoto's exact words."

"That First Investigation Division officer?" Upon hearing that this was Matsumoto Kiyonaga's intention, Nakamori Ginzo became furious, slamming his fist on the table and shouting angrily.
"What a joke! What do those guys know about Kid? They didn't even notify us. Do they think they can catch Kid on their own?"

Thinking of this, Nakamori Ginzo looked at Chaki Shintaro with a serious expression, hoping that his usually responsible and rule-abiding superior could step up and snatch the Kid case back from the First Investigation Division.

Chaki Shintaro shook his head regretfully, avoiding his subordinate's hopeful gaze, and refused, "I'm afraid it won't work. Inspector Matsumoto has refused the joint investigation by the Second Investigation Division."

Seeing Kamiki Chataro's reaction, Nakamori Ginzo asked anxiously, "Why is that?"

Opening his eyes again and looking at Nakamori Ginzo, whose face was full of dissatisfaction, Chaki Shintaro said with some helplessness, "The First Investigation Division reportedly received a tip that there were suspicious people near the Suzuki residence, so they investigated."

"Through investigation, they discovered that the suspicious person was actually Kaito Kid. In order to escape, Kaito Kid lured them into running into the Suzuki family's security guards. Although he was quickly exposed, he still managed to escape into the Suzuki family's house and disappear without a trace."

Nakamori Ginzo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Shouldn't we join forces? Kid's most familiar disguise technique has already been countered by our Second Investigation Division. As long as we block off the surrounding roads, Kid will be trapped." The countermeasure Nakamori Ginzo mentioned was simply to check if the person in front of him was the real person. So, he nodded speechlessly and reassured his capable subordinate, "You're right, but Mr. Mori is also there, and besides, the First Investigation Division has already thought of that."

"They've sent people to keep watch around the Suzuki house. Now, Kid is trapped inside the house by them and the Suzuki family's security guards. As long as we keep investigating, we'll definitely be able to catch the Phantom Thief Kid."

"Those notices were issued temporarily while Kid was trapped in the Suzuki house."

"They believe that Kidd originally didn't plan to send a notice, but sent one now because he felt he was about to be discovered, so he sent a notice to lure us into the Second Investigation Section and then take advantage of the chaos."

Nakamori Ginzo clenched his fists, widened his eyes, and shouted at Kamiki Chataro, "What do you mean? Are they saying we're a burden?"

"No, no, no, I believe the First Investigation Division definitely didn't mean that." Kamiki Chataro quickly stood up to reassure the somewhat agitated Nakamori Ginzo.
"Just to be frank, in this situation, Kidd probably can't escape, so it's definitely necessary for you to go and cause trouble... no, to go and help."

"..." Nakamori Ginzo looked at Kamiki Chataro, who was trying to comfort him but didn't intend to involve the Second Investigation Division, and was somewhat dissatisfied. He put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked out, saying to Kamiki Chataro, "I understand!"

As a police officer, since I was able to catch Kid, even if I didn't do it myself, I had no choice but to accept it...

Seeing Nakamori Ginzo's somewhat dejected expression, Kamiki Chataro sighed, it was unclear whether he was disappointed or in agreement with Nakamori Ginzo's performance.

After all, capturing Kid with his own hands was not only Nakamori Ginzo's wish, but also his deepest desire!

Moreover, the criminals that the Second Investigation Division had been unable to catch for so long were almost completely eliminated by the First Investigation Division. If word got out that this was going to get out, what would others think of them?

However, after Matsumoto Kiyonaga explicitly refused, they naturally couldn't forcefully intervene!
Sighing again, Kamiki Chataro thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said to the person on duty outside the door, "Call Nakamori Ginzo over. I have something to tell him."

"Yes!" The person on duty responded subconsciously, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ah... well, Officer Nakamori went to the restroom and isn't here right now. If Commander Kamiki needs anything, you might as well just tell me, and I'll go tell him now!"

"Going to the toilet?" Kamiki Chataro was taken aback, then smiled with his eyes closed. "Never mind then, let's wait until he gets back."

at the same time,

Ginzo Nakamori gritted his teeth as he drove towards the Suzuki residence.

As long as we can catch Kidd, even if we don't catch him ourselves, we can accept it.

As a policeman, he could certainly do it; but as Kid's nemesis, knowing all this, he, Nakamori Ginzo, could not just sit there doing nothing!
