Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

Chapter 192 The two detectives, looking disheveled and utterly humiliated, felt like they had comple

heaven.

Upon witnessing this, several helicopter pilots immediately reported: "We've spotted Phantom Thief Kid! He's using the same old hang glider as always. Should we give chase?"

"Nonsense, chase after them!" Inspector Chaki said.

Followed by.

All the helicopters and police cars on the ground began to chase the hang glider.

Not long after.

The helicopter pilot reported again: "Commander, Phantom Thief Kid has taken a hostage, a child of about seven or eight years old!"

"What?" Inspector Chaki went crazy.

Damn it.

Has Kaito Kid gone astray and started taking hostages?

but.

After a brief moment of thought, the order was still issued: "The capture of Phantom Thief Kid can only proceed under the premise that the safety of the hostages is guaranteed. This is an order!!!"

no way.

Tokyo is an international metropolis. If the Metropolitan Police Department disregards the safety of children in order to catch thieves, then if this matter is leaked to the newspapers, then the police superintendent will have to bow down and hand in his resignation.

Thieves don't need to be caught!

Even if he gains a reputation for incompetence, it won't affect his position in the slightest.

in contrast.

If a child were to die as a result of apprehending a thief, that would be a complete disaster for him.

that's it……

The helicopter and the police cars chasing below only dared to follow the hang glider from a distance, constantly trying to persuade "Phantom Thief Kid" to surrender, but they did not dare to forcibly arrest him.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Just as the main police force was chasing "Phantom Thief Kid", another group of police officers arrived on the rooftop and splashed a large amount of water on everyone, and Inspector Nakamori and the others slowly regained consciousness.

Followed by.

Upon waking, Inspector Nakamori immediately asked, "Where's Phantom Thief Kid?"

"They escaped using hang gliders; our forces are in pursuit."

"Oh, right."

"Kaito Kid kidnapped a child, so our police don't dare to easily launch a manhunt."

What?

Upon hearing this, Inspector Nakamori froze on the spot.

But then he realized something was wrong.

hostage?

Based on my understanding of Phantom Thief Kid, although his thieving behavior is despicable, he has never taken hostages or anything like that!

Not to mention taking hostages, even the jewelry was returned a few days after being stolen.

only.

Before Inspector Nakamori could figure it out, Hattori Heiji heard this, cursed "Damn it!" and ran straight downstairs from the hotel.

Nakamori Police Department: "..."

He watched Hattori Heiji running downhill, and for some reason, he felt that something seemed off.

But, in a short time.

He couldn't figure out what was wrong!

and so.

He could only order everyone to immediately chase after the hang glider.

but……

Sitting in the police car, Inspector Nakamori frowned the whole time, wondering what exactly was wrong with him.

Ten minutes later.

Inspector Nakamori's eyes lit up, then he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Wait a minute, something's wrong."

"There's something wrong with Heiji Hattori who ran away earlier. That guy is the real Phantom Thief Kid."

"As for that so-called Phantom Thief Kid on the glider, he's most likely the real Heiji Hattori."

"Everyone, heed my command!"

"Go after that Hattori Heiji right now!"

This moment.

Nakamori Ginzo has finally figured it out!

No wonder something felt off. How could Kaito Kid take hostages?

But, unfortunately.

Although he has now realized what happened, it's unfortunately a little too late.

Because by the time they found Professor Agasa, who had taken Phantom Thief Kid away, he had already been drugged with sleeping gas.

"Where am I?"

After being woken up, Professor Agasa let out a confused sound.

After the police briefly explained the situation, Professor Agasa quickly nodded: "Yes, that Hattori Heiji is a fake."

"He's the real Phantom Thief Kid; he knocked me out with sleeping gas."

"Oh, right..."

"Conan and the real Heiji Hattori, you two need to go save them!"

Nakamori Ginzan slapped his thigh.

Damn it!

I should have thought of this a long time ago, why didn't I think of it earlier?

That was the closest he ever came to capturing Phantom Thief Kid. If he had asked that fake Hattori Heiji a few more questions back then, he might have already caught Phantom Thief Kid completely...

but.

He quickly informed Inspector Chaki of the information and eventually rescued the unconscious Hattori Heiji and Conan.

……

It's 2:30 AM.

Beika Town, the doctor's house.

Conan and Heiji Hattori, looking like wilted eggplants, sat on the sofa in Dr. Agasa's house.

Dr. Agasa brought coffee to the two of them, a strange smile on his face.

"Cough cough..."

"Conan, Hattori..."

"It's all in the past, so don't dwell on it."

"Although Kaito Kid is just a petty thief, he is someone that has been impossible to catch in so many countries around the world for so many years."

"You only suffered one defeat, and your preparations were insufficient, so the failure is understandable."

"Get ready!"

"I believe you will succeed next time!"

After placing the coffee on the table, Dr. Agasa comforted the two of them.

But there was something strange about his smile.

Yes!

Kaito Kid is one of his biggest clients, how could he not know the other party's identity?

However, cough cough cough.

There are many things I can't say!

Moreover.

Kaito Kid hasn't done anything truly bad; at most, it's just a childish prank.

and so.

It's no big deal to help Phantom Thief Kid cover up!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Conan and Heiji Hattori, however, were unaware of Professor Agasa's thoughts. At that moment, they looked at the coffee in their hands, but had no desire to drink it whatsoever.

Shame!

What a shame!

Conan is a famous detective in the Kanto region, and Heiji Hattori is a famous detective in the Kansai region.

But what about tonight?

These two famous detectives were outsmarted by a thief!

Good heavens!

After they were woken up by the police, Conan almost shot a tranquilizer dart at Kaito Kid when he remembered Heiji Hattori staring at him.

fine……

Hattori Heiji's Osaka accent barely saved him.

otherwise.

Having already undergone hypnotic gas treatment, he might have to receive an anesthetic injection tonight!

"Phantom Thief Kid!"
