The next two days.
As the traffic cipher, Kaitou Kidd attracted more attention than a certain brave and fearless detective.
Ye Gengyi learned from the grapevine that the Metropolitan Police Department had canceled the follow-up press conference on the serial murder case.
Because when you turn on the TV now, you can basically only see various news about Iron Tanuki vs. Phantom Thieves with the villa of Suzuki Jiroyoshi's family as the background.
To put it simply, two groups of so-called experts are found to argue between the pros and cons, and then they open a hotline for viewers to conduct voting and listen to speeches, so as to increase the ratings by creating conflicts.
No wonder... the three days of pre-heating attracted attention, and there will definitely be special reports the day after the action.
News pays attention to timeliness. After this excitement is over, will you go back and stir up Takagi Wataru?
Unless Nagai Nabei escapes from the detention center, Takagi Wataru arrests him again.
Just doing that becomes a pure creation of personal heroism, which is no different from promoting the spirit of a 'famous detective'.
Naturally, the Metropolitan Police Department will not do such a thankless task...
Ye Gengyi stood in the alley, holding a shopping bag in one hand and half-drunk instant coffee in the other. After briefly sorting out the information he knew, he glanced at a man in the coffee shop across the street who looked to be in his forties. , a thin man wearing glasses, turned to ask a certain Kaitou boy whom he met by chance:
"who is he?"
"Masuhiko Akitsu, his last job was as an administrative specialist, but he was fired by the president because of poor personal abilities."
Kuroba Kaito paused for a moment: "In the end... such a guy actually successfully applied for the job of Mr. Suzuki's assistant secretary."
From an unnoticed clerk to a chaebol's assistant?
"Where are the other doubts?" Ye Geng asked.
"That's all for now..."
Kuroba Kaito shook his head: "In addition to this person, Mr. Suzuki also recruited a bodyguard named Goto Zengo. However, that person moved directly into the villa after successfully applying. I have not found any contact with him yet. Opportunity."
Assistant secretary and personal bodyguard are all jobs that allow you to have close contact with Suzuki Jirokichi... Ye Gengyi thought for a moment and said:
"Actually, there is no need to investigate these. It is very simple to know what his purpose is."
"Huh?" Kuroba Kaito asked curiously: "How to do it?"
Ye Geng took a sip of coffee and gave a rather straightforward answer: "Call and ask."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."
Ye Gengyi continued: "I am just using the distress code that has been solved to obtain information. I am not asking you to believe his words unconditionally."
"But... that would be too boring."
The set of women's clothes he had already bought appeared in Kuroba Kaito's mind. He coughed lightly and explained in a low voice:
"Ahem...Besides, it's weird no matter how you think about Kaitou Kid calling, right?"
"Huh? Don't you know how to change your voice?" Ye Gengyi didn't understand.
A person who issues a distress signal will usually become partially dependent on the person to whom he seeks help.
If you call Suzuki Jirokichi directly, even if you are mistaken for the fake Kaitou Kid, you can still get valuable information from the other party's reaction.
Kuroba Kaito scratched his cheek with his index finger and looked sideways at the sky:
"That's what you're good at, brother. As for me...whether the old man really wants to ask for help or is taking the opportunity to lay a trap, the media has publicized it like this. In any case, it is necessary to confirm it in person."
Late stages of exhibitionism?
Ye Geng nodded to show his understanding and said: "So that's it... Then go ahead and don't overdo it."
After speaking, he saw the right moment, left from the alley, and blended into a group of bustling people.
…
Because Suzuki Jirokichi unusually did not invite a large number of onlookers to watch his duel with Kaitou Kidd.
Dr. A Li and Haihara Ai did not join in the fun.
As evening approached, Ye Gengyi drove and picked up Maori, his daughter, and Conan to the villa area.
Suzuki Sonoko was waiting for them in the yard without any airs.
"As expected of Kaitou Kidd..."
As soon as Mouri Kogoro got out of the car, he turned back and looked at the iron gate that he had entered before.
A huge crowd of media workers has blocked the originally spacious road.
If they hadn't called Suzuki Sonoko in advance and arranged for the security personnel of the Suzuki Consortium to clear the way, they might not have been able to get in smoothly just now.
Saying that, Mouri Kogoro adjusted his collar again, and then asked Suzuki Sonoko: "Are only a few reporters arranged to record this time?"
"No la……"
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand, "Uncle, he refused to record publicly this time. We have persuaded the reporters outside, but no one is willing to leave."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan were both startled.
Conan looked thoughtful.
Ye Gengyi didn't react at all, but the balance in his heart that weighed 'help' and 'trap' tilted a little more towards 'help'.
After Suzuki Sonoko invited everyone into the house, she lowered her voice mysteriously: "I'm telling you... the Kidd-sama who sent the notice letter this time may be a fake."
She immediately pointed out the doubts that the illustration of Kaito Kidd on the notice letter did not have slanted bangs but a hedgehog head, and that the writing method of the text was not horizontal but vertical.
"In that case... Forget it about reporters, why did the police come anyway?" Mouri Kogoro wondered.
"Maybe the Nakamori Police Department is thinking the same thing as me, thinking that Lord Kidd will definitely show up!"
Suzuki Sonoko smiled and led everyone outside the room where the iron fox was stored.
In front of the door on the corridor side.
Nakamori Ginzo is energetically reminding his mobile team members not to let down their guard:
"Tonight is the new moon night when the moon is hidden and the night is vast" as mentioned in the warning letter! Listen carefully, be sure to increase security around the room where the treasury is stored! Make sure there is no leakage!"
"Really, I have said it so many times, there is no need for the police to come and help..."
Suzuki Jirokichi came this way.
Behind him, there were two people following him, one on the left and one on the right. One of them happened to be Ye Gengyi who went out to buy coffee in the morning and happened to meet the assistant secretary Akitsu Masuhiko who was being followed by Kuroba Kaito.
Then the other one is the newly hired bodyguard Goto Zengo...
Ye Gengyi guessed and glanced around casually, but found no trace of the Kaitou boy.
Akitsu Masuhiko is too thin and Gotou Zengo is too dark.
The former is easy to see through when disguised, while the latter requires painting all the skin that may be exposed black. If it is not necessary, these two people are not a good choice.
