An infinite journey starting from paradise

After the ground forces were deployed, air support was added. Minister Odagiri urgently called in five armed helicopters to escort Kidd that day to prevent him from breaking through from the air. If necessary, they could open fire.

The last line of defense was also the most difficult. That was Lin Shangren. At the first combat meeting, he announced that next Saturday, he would carry the authentic Queen's Tear with him at all times. If Kidd wanted it, he could take it from Lin Shangren.

Best support Ginzo Nakamori had been kicked out of the task force, the police deployment had become far more rigorous than before, and they still had to deal with the unpredictable Hayashi Naoto. It was impossible for Kuroba Kaito not to be worried.

Fortunately, he still has nearly a week, which should be enough for him to formulate a new plan, collect intelligence about Lin Shangren, and replace a police officer from the task force, right?

Kuroba Kaito's plan was a beautiful one, but the actual implementation was a little different from what he had imagined. First, he had to formulate a plan. Breaking into the Kuchiki Pavilion wasn't difficult, but the problem remained: how could he steal the Queen's Tears from Hayashi Naoto?

Then there was the intelligence about Lin Shangren. Apart from finding out that in addition to being an inspector, Lin Shangren was also a wealthy man who owned countless properties and the owner of an entertainment company, no other past of his could be found, as if he had suddenly appeared.

Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito did not gain nothing. He successfully kidnapped, disguised and replaced a special task force police officer - Takagi Wataru.

While Officer Takagi was on a "date" with Asai Makoto, Kuroba Kaito knocked him out and used his identity to infiltrate Takagi's patrol unit. He spent three days living with Chiba Kazunobu, Komatsu Ryohei, and the police dog Caesar without revealing any flaws. Tonight, using Takagi Wataru's identity, he should have no problem infiltrating the Kuchiki Museum.

"It's not as difficult as you think. Even if idiots are armed to the teeth, they are still just idiots."

……

That night, outside the Ruimu Pavilion.

The streets were crowded with people.

Citizens eager to see the action and various media outlets gathered there, huddled outside the police cordon, excitedly anticipating the upcoming large-scale outdoor magic show.

Most of the people present were Kidd's fans, mostly young women. They held up a variety of light signs and chanted "husband," "brother," and "Kid-sama," making one think they were some cult welcoming their evil leader.

Especially a young girl with brown hair and a headband at the front of the crowd. From the way she was shouting at the top of her lungs, it was certain that she was a die-hard fan of Kaito Kid.

But her best friend next to her was much calmer.

"Sonoko, calm down a little. Kidd predicted that the time would be midnight, so it will take a long time for him to show up. He can't hear you if you shout like that," said Ran Mouri.

"Xiaolan, you don't understand. I'm cheering for Mr. Kidd. With my kindness, he will definitely succeed. Hehehe... hehehe... Mr. Kidd."

Looking at her best friend Suzuki Sonoko who was infatuated with her, Mao Lilan felt helpless, but there was nothing she could do.

Suzuki Sonoko had no idea that her idol, Kaito Kid, didn't actually meet her ideal partner. Nor did she know that Kaito Kid had already infiltrated the Kuchikikan under the guise of Takagi Wataru. And he was about to face the biggest test of his career.

The fully armed Kuroba Kaito followed Officer Chiba and others into the first floor of the Kuchiki Building. After confirming their identities, the guard at the door let them in.

Just when Kuroba Kaito breathed a sigh of relief, his feet suddenly sank into the mud.

"What happened?" Officer Chiba was also shocked.

The forensic officer sitting nearby explained, "No big deal. This is just an additional test requested by Inspector Lin today. It's a footprint rubbing. After that, we have to go over there and collect some biological samples."

"Huh? You never told me that before?"

"Oh, it's just collecting biological samples. It's better to be prepared." Officer Komatsu patted Chiba and Kidd's shoulders like an elder brother. "That's over there, right? Let's go there quickly."

"Yes," the forensic officer said, "We've finished collecting the footprints for this group and are taking them over there to make plaster casts."

“Is it so strict?”

Kidd thought to himself.

"They're going to collect hair, fingerprints, and saliva... We didn't prepare anything in advance. Forget it, let them collect it first. At worst, we can steal it later."

Thinking of this, Kidd, disguised as Officer Takagi, caught up with the team again.

The author says:

Author's words: I'm too lazy to divide it into chapters. There are more than 10,000 words in total, and one chapter is longer than three.

Chapter 150 I’m Super! Kudo Shinichi? !

"Shadow Control and all other magic are prohibited, as are system equipment and homemade alchemical items. Fortunately, Demon Hunter senses and firearms equipment are not prohibited, nor are physical fitness requirements suppressed to normal levels. These are more than enough to capture Kidd."

In other words, if he dared to show up at the Kuchikikan tonight, he would be doomed to use the iron rice bowl issued by the state. ” Lin Shangren thought so.

After all, the world mission did not require the Phantom Thief to be captured on the spot. As long as Kidd showed up in Kuchiki Mansion tonight, even if he eventually escaped, Lin Shangren could fabricate a bunch of charges and capture Kuroba Kaito, the man behind Phantom Thief Kidd.

This game was a one-sided fight with no fairness at all from the very beginning.

However, even so, Lin Shangren did not intend to let Kidd go easily after he appeared.

"It's a game, it's always fun to play it. Given this world's weird timeline, I don't know if Kidd can make it to the day he's released from prison. I'm curious to see his expression when he finds out that his childhood sweetheart, Aoko Nakamori, has already transformed into someone else."

Lin Shangren himself does not have much ill will towards Kuroba Kaito. He captured him just to complete the task and get the reward. After he gets in, whether he will flirt with his childhood sweetheart depends on Lin Shangren's own mood.

The ones who actually harbored great ill will towards Kidd were actually the Japanese police.

Before the operation officially began, Hayashi Naoto and Matsumoto Kiyonaga had a casual chat about Kidd's sentencing. The senior police officers unanimously agreed that a thief like Kidd, who had an extremely bad social impact, should be sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least, and the death penalty would not be a bad choice.

Although Kidd usually returns the stolen property to the original owner, the damage he causes is never a direct economic loss, but rather the extended impact of his theft: the occupation of public resources caused by Kidd's actions, the traffic congestion and stampedes caused by his fans, etc. These losses are difficult to measure in specific monetary terms.

What's more, Kidd's existence seriously damaged the credibility and social image of the Japanese government and the Japanese police: he might not die if he stole Mr. Huang's money, but he would be dead if he stole Mr. Huang's money and slapped the county magistrate in the face.

"Although Kuroba Kaito is only seventeen, still a minor, Japan's current minimum age of criminal responsibility is sixteen, and after the 'Drunken Rose Saint' incident, it was lowered to fourteen. In short, Japan's underage animal protection law can no longer protect him.

If nothing unexpected happens... twenty years? That's assuming he has a lawyer of Kisaki Eri's caliber defending him."

While thinking, Lin Shangren raised his head and happened to meet the eyes of the four people walking towards him.

Looking at the four fully armed men and one dog walking towards the sampling area, Lin Shangren stood up from his seat and said, "Take off your explosion-proof helmets and gloves first, and come here to collect hair, fingerprints, and saliva."

Looking at Lin Shangren not far away, Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as Takagi Wataru, was a little nervous: "This guy actually came to the front line to do this kind of work? Wait!" His eyes were fixed on the necklace on Lin Shangren's neck.

"The Queen's Tear? Is it the real thing, or a fake to lure me in? Since he's standing here so brazenly, the chances of it being a trap are higher... or is he deliberately doing the opposite?"

Instantly, numerous possibilities flashed through Kuroba Kaito's mind. He couldn't confirm whether the Queen's Tears on Lin Shangren were genuine, but one thing was certain: "We can't do it here."

He was surrounded by dozens of fully armed policemen and a dozen fat, strong and shiny police dogs. If he fought here, those dozen vicious dogs would be enough to eat him up.

"Let's cooperate first. At worst, we can find a chance to steal it back later."

If he hadn't sent out advance notices, hadn't held large-scale outdoor magic shows, and had simply been stealing things, there would probably be nothing in the world that Kaito Kidd couldn't steal.

Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito took off his gloves and helmet as ordered by Hayashi Naoto.

"Hey, it's you, Brother Gaomu." Lin Shangren greeted the police officers familiarly, "Come and collect fingerprints and do a nucleic acid test."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren placed four fingerprint test strips in front of the four people. He then lowered his head and began to unpack the cotton swabs and test tubes.

"How was it? Nothing unexpected happened, right? Oh, especially you, brother Takagi. You were assigned this mission during 'Hot Love' and stayed with Chiba and the others for three days. I hope your girlfriend Asai is not jealous?" Lin Shangren looked at "Takagi Wataru" with a smile.

"Haha, Inspector Lin, stop kidding me... To be honest, she's very reasonable."

Before kidnapping Takagi Shigeru, Kuroba Kaito had carefully observed his demeanor and language habits. He was confident that he could play the role of this slightly timid and uninteresting rookie male policeman vividly and without any flaws.

Seeing Takagi Wataru's reaction, Lin Shangren's smile widened. He patted Takagi Wataru on the shoulder, took out a cotton swab and said to him, "Let's start with you. Come on, Takagi, open your mouth."

After scraping the oral epithelium and throat with a cotton swab several times and collecting fingerprints and hair, Lin Shangren packed these samples into a special evidence bag instead of the evidence box next to the table.

Seeing this scene, Kuroba Kaito's heart tightened. It's over, he's exposed.

Although panicked, Kuroba Kaito maintained a poker face. He feigned composure and asked, "Can you tell me where I've revealed my weakness?"

Hearing this, the policemen around him immediately turned their guns towards him, and Officer Chiba and Officer Komatsu beside him had already pointed their guns at him, and Inukai had even loosened the leash of the police dog Caesar.

"Is there something wrong with my acting?"

"Two points," Hayashi Naoto said, "First, the shoe size is wrong. You only disguised your face and body, not the shoes. Takagi's feet are two sizes larger than yours. Second... Asai Makoto is actually a man. He and Takagi are just good friends who became friends because of the case."

Before Lin Shangren finished speaking, Inukai, eager to make a contribution, ordered Caesar to pounce on him.

"trouble."

Kuroba Kaito deftly dodged the police dog's attack and stuffed something into the dog's mouth. Caesar then fell to the ground and began to twitch.

"Don't worry, it's just chocolate."

"Beasts!"

Inukai pounced towards Kuroba Kaito, just blocking the net rope launched by Chiba.

"Actually, it's glutinous rice balls mixed with anesthetic." Kuroba Kaito said jokingly.

"How can it be repaired!!!"

Looking at this group of police elites beating up their teammates, Kuroba Kaito secretly felt amused. It seemed that there was nothing to be nervous about. Even if they were fully armed, idiots were still idiots.

Thinking this way, he was about to make a series of pretentious remarks such as "Let the dogs come over!" Then he saw the net rope guns firing from all directions.

"Open fire! Don't let him get away!"

"Hey, aren't you guys afraid of accidentally hurting your teammates?!"

Rolling to avoid the net rope that was coming towards him, Kuroba Kaito quickly threw out a few special smoke bombs from his sleeves, and then shot out the main light on the ceiling and the surrounding lights, and the light in the venue suddenly dimmed.

"Is the trapped beast still fighting?"

Lin Shangren picked up the black umbrella standing next to the table, casually pushed away several net ropes shot towards him, and lightly jumped back, leaving the range of the smoke bomb.

"Don't let him get away!"

A group of excited police officers rushed towards Kidd like crazy, trying to suppress him with human waves. It was no wonder they were so crazy. After all, the generous Inspector Lin added a 50 million yen bounty on top of the official 100 million yen bounty on Kidd's head, and promised to fulfill any small wish of the police who caught Kidd.

“Bounty!”

"get promoted!"

“Paid vacation!”

"Ms. Ikezawa's autograph!!!"

"I want to have dinner with Inspector Lin!"

"Fuck, there's Nantong!"

Amidst laughter and cheers, the police elite surrounded Kaito Kid. Kaito Kid had already donned his blast helmet again, hidden by a smoke screen, and blended into the perimeter of the officers surrounding him, waiting for the right opportunity to slip away.

Suddenly, Kuroba Kaito felt someone hugging his waist tightly, and hands began to touch all over his body.

"No...are there really gay men in the police force who take advantage of their colleagues?!"

This absurd thought flashed through Kuroba Kaito's mind, and then he found a very conspicuous fluorescent handprint on his right shoulder.

"That's when!"

Kuroba Kaito remembered the pat on the shoulder by Lin Shangren when he was testing him.

"Don't bet on the wrong guy, this guy is Kaito Kidd!"

"Grab the one with the handprint on his shoulder!"

"Tsk, what a difficult guy."

Fortunately, escape is one of the basic skills of a magician, and Kuroba Kaito has also made plans for similar situations. The inside of the explosion-proof suit has been equipped with a button that allows him to remove the armor instantly and escape.

Then, Kuroba Kaito slipped out of the arms of several policemen like a slippery loach, and his white cloak unfolded, revealing his flashy and eye-catching classic white suit.

In the past, when Kuroba Kaito showed up in this outfit, it was always for a grand appearance, but this time he was trying to escape in an embarrassing way.

"You police officers are so dishonest that all you've prepared are fakes. I'll wait until you're willing to display the real thing before I take it away."

Leaving behind a line of forced self-respect, Kuroba Kaito shot the dome of Kuchiki Hall with his grappling hook gun. As long as he reached the top floor, he would have a way to escape.

The Kuchikikan only had three stories, and at less than twenty meters, hang gliding was clearly not feasible. However, one of the helicopters patrolling the Kuchikikan sky had been replaced by Mr. Terai. A special wire mechanism connected that helicopter to the Kuchikikan roof, allowing for aerial walks and soaring magic.

Kuroba Kaito's original plan was for Mr. Terai to disguise himself as Kaito Kid at midnight and use his magic device to hover above Kuchiki Mansion, drawing attention. Kuroba Kaito would then blend in with the patrolling guards and wait for his opportunity. When the time was right, Mr. Terai would use a mirror device hidden in his cloak to become invisible and escape. He would then reappear inside Kuchiki Mansion in his Kaito Kid costume, pretending to have stolen the Queen's Tears, and then use his camouflage device to hide within the mansion. In this way, he would complete the magic tricks of "walking in the air" and "teleportation." Then, when the police were off guard, he could quietly approach Hayashi Naoto and steal the real thing from him.

Unfortunately, his identity was exposed when he sneaked into Kuchiki Hall in the first step of his plan. It seemed that he would have to cancel the magic show tonight.

"At least I can use a flying magic trick as a farewell, so that this failed operation won't be too embarrassing. Hiss... my foot!"

Just as he was mid-air, Kuroba Kaito felt something entangle his ankle. It turned out to be Hayashi Naoto, who had tied Kuroba Kaito's leg with the catapult grappling line on the front of his black umbrella.

"Come down you!"

Lin Shangren pulled with all his strength.

Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito reacted quickly and shot the rope that was wrapped around him with a poker gun. Otherwise, if he had been hit by Lin Shangren, his leg would have been severely dislocated at least even if it had not been broken.

"This gun is amazing. It can actually cut a rope of this strength. It's worthy of being the scientific equipment produced by Dr. Agasa." Lin Shangren exclaimed.

"Goodbye~"

Kuroba Kaito wanted to mock him, but he saw Lin Shangren leap directly to the third floor.

"No...is this still a human?!"

He was so shocked that he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. When he was about to rush to the dome, Kuroba Kaito shot and shattered the stained glass on the dome, rushed out of Kuchiki Hall, and rolled over a little awkwardly to the platform on the top floor.

"Saved, as long as we can reach that place..."

"Oh!"
