Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

She had called him several times, but he didn't react at all. I wonder what he was thinking?

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "I mean, would you like to have lunch here?"

Bai Shixiu's spirits lifted:

"no problem?"

"Of course!"

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and nodded.

Sonoko teased, "Shu, you're being so hypocritical, I can tell."

Kimie Shimabukuro laughed and said, "I think he's just being reserved, after all, he has to act like a gentleman."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "You two, stop joking with me. Otherwise, you might say something really outrageous."

"Hehe, Sonoko laughed happily, then said seriously, "I wonder if Kaito Kid will show up tonight. I've never seen him before."

Shimabukuro Kimie said, "I have seen his picture in the newspaper before; he always wore a white top hat and a white cape."

Sonoko nodded and said, "That's right. I heard he appeared more than ten years ago. Judging from this, he might be forty years old already. At such an old age, to still be stealing things, he must be having a hard time at home."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Osamu almost burst out laughing.

This statement makes a lot of sense, and it's also quite interesting.

(Good Zhao) If he really is a master thief, and he's still risking his life to steal at the age of forty, it must be because he's not doing well at home, or he's too wasteful.

Unfortunately... the machine...

This is not the original Phantom Thief Kid, but the next generation of Phantom Thief Kid who has grown up.

It's not a complete failure yet.

[I'm just speeding things up a bit, writing for a few more days to see if it works, then we'll see. Maybe it'll pick up again.]

[Just a heads-up, but Feilu Books really can't withstand the drain of time. After all, subscriptions, recommendations, and money are all tied to it, and I'm a full-time user, so I can't afford to wait... it just killed me off.]

Okay, enough joking around, let's speed things up.

[I genuinely couldn't support myself with my last book, which is why I started a new one; otherwise, it wouldn't have ended so poorly. I just wanted to say that with subscribers, it won't end badly. Consider this me just playing the victim… *crying*]

Chapter 0080: Miwako arrives

It's 3:30 PM.

Ekota Town.

In front of the station, beneath the 100-meter-tall old clock tower, Shiraishi Osamu and his group arrived.

The place was bustling with activity.

Police were everywhere, we were under a lot of spotlight, and there were even three helicopters patrolling overhead.

The crowd below was even larger, with people shouting "Kidd" as a nickname, they were practically a group of fanatics.

Surprisingly, the area around the clock tower was surrounded by a ring of construction fabric, and it was unclear what was going on.

"Wow, so many people!" Shimabukuro Kimie looked around at the crowd in surprise, she really hadn't expected there to be so many people at the scene.

"Of course! This time, our opponent is Kaito Kid!" Sonoko said with a smile, taking pictures of the surrounding area with her camera.

Shiraishi Osamu looked up at the huge clock face on the clock tower and asked doubtfully, "Is Phantom Thief Kid really going to steal this clock? Can he really steal it?"

Xiaolan nodded and said, "That's right. It would be so much trouble to take down such a big clock. If he wanted to steal it by himself, 337 definitely couldn't do it, especially with helicopters around."

Sonoko laughed and said, "It's precisely because Phantom Thief Kid often accomplishes these impossible things that he's so popular."

Listen to what she has to say.

Shiraishi and the others looked at the enthusiastic crowd around them again, and now that they thought about it, it did seem to make some sense.

Especially those repeated shouts of "Kidd!" were truly awe-inspiring.

Kimie Shimabukuro chuckled, "It's just a thief, but they're making it sound like a fan meeting. I really don't understand it."

Sonoko pondered, "It's probably related to Kaito Kid's behavior! Although he often steals things, he also often returns what he steals. Also, he never seems to hurt anyone, which is why he's so popular."

"That might be true!"

Shiraishi Xiu nodded in agreement, looking at the enormous clock, and said with a faint smile, "Unless there is real magic, I don't believe he could steal something like this right under everyone's noses."

Sonoko smiled and said, "This big clock is quite famous. I heard it was designed by the mayor of this city fifty years ago. There are also several gemstones inlaid on the clock, so it can be said to be one of the treasures of Ekoda Town. However, I heard that the current owner of this clock is planning to move it to a theme park."

"There's still half an hour left, it's so hard to wait!" Xiaolan felt that it was getting a little noisy around her, but she still wanted to see how Phantom Thief Kid would steal things.

Suddenly...

A hand rested on Shiraishi Xiu's shoulder.

He turned his head and saw a ring on the ring finger of that fair hand, and the ring looked quite familiar.

"what……"

When Shiraishi Osamu turned his head again, he saw a very serious expression and asked in surprise, "Miwako, what are you doing here?"

Sato Miwako's expression changed, and she smiled: "Because Inspector Megure also got involved in this matter, we came along."

Shiraishi Osamu asked curiously, "I only remember that you are from the Criminal Investigation Department's First Investigation Division, Violent Crimes Investigation Section 3, right? Catching thieves isn't your responsibility, is it?"

"Of course, so I'm just here to watch the fun."

"And who is Inspector Megure?"

"He was completely fooled by a boy named Shinichi Kudo."

When Sato Miwako got to this point, she also showed a helpless expression.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

It's ridiculous to think that such a grown man could be tricked by a high school student into meddling in other classes. Shiraishi Osamu suddenly realized, "So you're not going to join in? You're just going to stay down here and watch with us (badj)?" Sato Miwako laughed, "Of course. What, aren't you welcome?"

"Welcome!"

Osamu Shiraishi had a smile on his face.

The two of them just stared at each other, oblivious to all the sounds around them.

Although I was fantasizing about a time alone with my partner, unfortunately, there were other acquaintances here.

Several women couldn't help but turn around and glance at her. They immediately spotted Sato Miwako and gathered around her with smiles, successfully pushing Shiraishi Osamu to the other side.

Shiraishi Osamu: ...

Shiraishi Osamu chuckled wryly and touched his nose, suddenly realizing that having too many women around him wasn't necessarily a good thing; it made it difficult to even deepen their relationship.

Kimie Shimabukuro smiled and said, "Miwako, you're here too."

Sato Miwako said, "Yes, I didn't want to come either, but our team leader was coming, so I had no choice but to come along."

After saying that, she looked at Ran and Sonoko and smiled, "Although I've known about you two for a while, this is the first time we've met. My name is Sato Miwako."

"Suzuki Sonoko".

"Ran Mouri".

Ran and Sonoko greeted each other very politely.

This wasn't the first time the two women had met Sato Miwako, but they hadn't had a chance to greet her before. Now they finally had the opportunity to get to know each other.

Sonoko, ever the friendly type, came over and said excitedly, "Miwako-nee, you're a police officer, right?"

“Of course.” Sato Miwako nodded smugly: “If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask me for help. I can help you sort things out.”

Xiao Lan smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Sister Meihezi, but we generally don't cause trouble."

"Hahaha..." x2

Shimabukuro Kimie and Sato Miwako immediately burst into laughter, instantly bringing the group closer together.

Sonoko looked around and whispered, "Miwako-nee, you're a police officer, do you have any inside information about the Phantom Thief Kid incident?"

"News..." Sato Miwako thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Actually, this isn't our department's responsibility, and we don't know much about it. We just heard that Phantom Thief Kid is coming to steal this clock, and that's all we know."

"Oh dear, that's such a pity."

Sonoko shook her head in disappointment. She had brought her camera with her tonight, hoping to see how Kaito Kid would steal the giant clock from the 100-meter tower.

If it really was stolen in full view of everyone, it would definitely be big news tomorrow, news that would make the whole city tremble.

As Shiraishi Osamu listened to their conversation, he glanced around at the crowd.

Suddenly his eyes lit up as he saw a familiar girl shouting loudly over there.

Chapter 0081: A Group of Women

In this square, which is dark yet brightly lit.

In one corner of the crowd, a girl was holding up a sign and shouting loudly:

"Kidd, get back here! Daddy, you better do your best!"

A girl standing nearby, listening to her best friend's words and glancing at the enthusiastic fans of Kidd around them, whispered:

"Qingzi! Keep your voice down, it's so embarrassing! Besides, you're the only one here who's against Kid reading, don't you feel lonely?"

“But…” Nakamori Aoko looked around at the crowd supporting Kid and fell silent. Then, thinking of her father, she pouted unhappily: “By the way, Keiko, have you seen Kaito?”

Keiko Momoi looked around. "I don't see him. I don't think I've seen him at all. Maybe he's not coming tonight. Oh right, I remember now, he said..."

It seems like they're going to watch a magic show on TV at home.

"I see..."

Nakamori Aoko slowly lowered her head, her eyes filled with sadness.

The reason she was so opposed to Kid stealing the clock was because this was the place where she and Kaito Kuroba first met.

She didn't want anyone to ruin that beautiful memory, but it seemed that only she remembered it, while the other person had forgotten it.

of course……

If Kaito Kuroba, who is currently inside the Clock Tower, knew that he was being thought of this way, he would definitely cry out in grievance.
