Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
The 20th floor of Ono Bank was surrounded by officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division. Surrounded by them was the target of Kaito Kid's theft - the Moon Child.
Ten minutes before the scheduled time, Fujiwara Yu opened the car door and prepared to enter the building where Ono Bank was located.
After showing his police officer ID, he was escorted to the 20th floor by two police officers. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard the prompt tone after the elevator arrived at the floor. Before he saw anyone, he heard the loud voice of a police officer.
"The white cloak and white silk hat are the symbols of Kaito Kidd. If you see any of them, report them immediately. No, capture him immediately. Everyone, remember this. Do you understand?!"
“I understand!
!”
Hiss, are all the police officers in Investigation Section 2 so passionate?
Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but gasp. Besides, this voice doesn't even need a speaker to make the sound resound throughout the entire floor, which is a useful skill. I just don't know if it will work on Kaito Kid.
He barely managed to break through the encirclement by swerving sideways, and when he reached the loud-voiced policeman in a dark green suit, before he could frown or speak, he took the initiative to interrupt his questioning, took out his police officer ID and introduced himself:
"Hello, I'm Sosuke Takashi from the Investigation Division. I'm sorry to interrupt your work, but I'm quite interested in Kaito Kid. Can I participate in the arrest process?"
Purple hair, a single earring, a height of 1.9 meters, and this familiar name.
Ginzo Nakamori quickly realized who the young man in front of him was. If it were someone else, he might have refused directly, but when he thought of Sosuke Takashi who was constantly active in the Investigation Division, he wondered if with his abilities he could really help him accomplish the feat of arresting Kaito Kid.
When he thought of Kaito Kidd being arrested, a look of joy appeared on his face. However, in Fujiwara Yu's eyes, the way he stared at him with a perverted smile was really a bit scary, causing him to take a half step back with a sullen face, ensuring that the distance between them could ensure his own safety.
"Oh, it's Officer Takashi. This is our first meeting, isn't it?" Nakamori Ginzo coughed dryly and put on a serious look. He straightened the hem of his suit and said, "I'm Nakamori Ginzo, an inspector in the Intelligent Criminal Investigation Division of the Second Investigation Section. I'm very grateful for your guidance."
Fujiwara Yu nodded politely. He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the Moon Child Gem in the display case, saying with interest:
"Officer Nakamori, do you know Kaito Kidd very well?"
"Of course! After all, I have been competing with him for such a long time. If you ask me, I am the person who knows him best in the world except Kaito Kid himself!" When Nakamori Ginzo said this, there was a little pride on his face. After all, Kaito Kid is a headache for detectives all over the world.
Fujiwara Yuu smiled knowingly. It seemed that Nakamori Ginzo still hadn't found out the connection between Kaito Kid and Kuroba Toichi. He was declared dead eight years ago, so what was the reason for him to reappear now?
Or, you are not Kaito Kidd, and there is just some coincidence between you and him.
I don’t know if it’s due to his occupational disease, but Fujiwara Yu has never really believed in the word “coincidence”. If he wants to confirm that his guess is correct, he can find out by meeting Kaito Kid.
He looked at his watch and saw that there was only one minute left until the predicted time.
"Everyone, get ready! The time predicted by Kaito Kidd is almost here. Be on high alert and guard the Moon Child Jewel well. Don't let Kaito Kidd succeed. Do you understand?"
“Listen carefully!
!”
After shouting this, Ginzo Nakamori fell silent. He was still very nervous. Kaito Kid had disappeared for such a long time. This was a long-awaited contest. He must seize the opportunity and find a way to arrest him.
However, when there were only three seconds left in the preview, the lights suddenly went out and the surroundings became pitch black.
The pitch-black environment caused the already tense police officers to whisper to each other. Nakamori Ginzo, who had been counting down in his mind, immediately realized what was going on. It must be a trick of Kaito Kid!
"Turn on the emergency lighting, aim in the direction of the glass display cabinet, and be quick!" Nakamori Ginzo waved his hand and quickly gave the correct instructions to his subordinates.
Fujiwara Yuu, who was standing by, had just put on the night vision glasses he had prepared in advance, when he saw a slap coming towards him. He quickly dodged to the side to avoid the accidental injury almost caused by Nakamori Ginzo.
He pushed his glasses and looked towards the glass display case. Unexpectedly, he saw a man in police uniform and a white mask holding up his baton, ready to hit the fragile glass display case.
Several flashlights shone over and batons fell at this moment. The loud sound of glass breaking made all the police officers feel nervous. They all knew that Kaito Kidd was stealing the Moon Child under their noses!
"Kaito Kidd! Stop right there!" Nakamori Ginzo turned around immediately after hearing the voice. Seeing Kaito Kidd picking up the Moon Child and running towards the floor-to-ceiling glass, he hurriedly followed.
Witnessing all this, Fujiwara Yuu hesitated to act. He rested his chin in thought for a moment, but he felt something strange about the Kaito Kid before him. Even though he was masked, the deep wrinkles on his exposed neck were unbelievable for a man in his forties.
Moreover, judging from his running posture and speed, it doesn't seem like a speed that ordinary people can't catch up with. If the police officers around him were not just exclaiming "Kaito Kidd is really back", they would probably be able to catch him easily.
Strange? Could it be that this guy isn't actually Kaito Kid, but is simply pretending to be Kaito Kid to trick the police?
Bang!
Seeing the man falling rapidly after smashing the floor-to-ceiling glass, Fujiwara Yu ran in the opposite direction without hesitation. It was impossible for a man with that physique to fall at such a speed, so this should be a trick of "Kaito Kid", and his real purpose was to go up.
He walked slowly into the fire escape and headed up to the rooftop, where he was sure to see "Kaito Kidd" who had climbed up with great difficulty.
No matter what the purpose is, and no matter who his identity is... it is natural for the police to arrest the thief. Once he has committed the act of stealing, they cannot sit idly by.
However, just as Fujiwara Yu arrived at the door to the rooftop and was about to push it open, an unexpected sound came from outside the door.
"Throw the Stand down and then climb back up yourself? Such an old-fashioned trick! This will only damage the reputation of the Phantom Thief. Is that really okay?"
