Chapter 1591: Kaito Kidd, the Thing in the Bag

This is destined to be a mystery that is difficult to solve.

Inspector Nakamori thought about it casually and quickly put this messy question behind him: Jiang Xia was not an outlaw, and had nothing to do with him as a policeman. He was only concerned about Kidd - this time, he must bring the bastard thief who trampled on the law and the police to justice!

Makiri was not surprised to see Inspector Nakamori come in. It seemed like she had communicated with this policeman before.

Dr. Agasa was a little surprised and looked at Nakamori Ginzo: "You can actually catch a thief across borders?"

Inspector Nakamori snorted coldly and raised his hand to signal the burly subordinates behind him: "We are just a group of enthusiastic tourists. We heard that Miss Makiri is troubled by the Phantom Thief, so we came to help her catch that bastard Phantom Thief, that's all."

Makuri nodded. This was one of the reasons why she chose to refuse when Yoko Kinoshita recommended the detective to her at first: after she received the notice letter yesterday, she immediately notified the donor of the ring to avoid the ring being stolen and her being held responsible.

The donor had a good relationship with her, and he comforted her and told her not to be afraid. Then he somehow found this group of professional police officers, and they rushed over overnight.

…

Inspector Nakamori walked into the lounge and saw the notice in Jiang Xia's hand. He laughed and said, "No need to read it anymore. After my professional interpretation, I already understand what Kidd wants to express."

Jiang Xia: “…Really?”

Conan also looked at him in surprise.

Inspector Nakamori nodded proudly. "These messy words above are actually telling us the time and place where he committed the crime. The hidden message in the preview letter is that he will appear at the end of the play, amid the cheers of the audience, and take away the Stone of Destiny!... Humph, stealing the limelight from others, this really seems like something he would do."

"Is it really that simple? You're not just guessing." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the preview letter and muttered, "By the way, have you not explained the picture in the lower left corner? A playing card split in half from the middle... Although I can't interpret it, since it's drawn on paper, it must represent very important information."

Inspector Nakamori felt a little embarrassed when being questioned by a little girl.

However, he took a look and recognized that the high school girl was the niece of Suzuki Kichijiro, and Suzuki Kichijiro was a big client who often competed with Kid and could provide the police with many opportunities to capture Kid...

Nakamori Ginzo didn't care. He just waved his hand and explained confidently, "What's so difficult about that card? Can't you see it? It's the 'V' for victory! It's represented by a playing card because that guy always likes to use magic to commit crimes. Playing cards are his symbol."

Conan listened to this plain explanation and silently raised his hand to press his forehead: "..." Is there no middle-aged man of this age who is reliable... Of course, except his Riddler father.

The young man remained silent about Inspector Nakamori's speculation.

Only the elegant adults showed some respect. Makiri and her assistant applauded and said admiringly, "Precise interpretation - as expected of you, an expert in fighting against phantom thieves."

Being praised by such a beautiful female star, Inspector Nakamori blushed and cleared his throat modestly: "After all, I have studied Kidd for so many years, so I can still understand a mere notice letter."

Makuri smiled politely: "..." In fact, she heard from her assistant that this police officer from the Second Investigation Division has never succeeded in catching Kidd once in nearly twenty years.

But Kidd usually returns things after stealing them, so it's not a big problem. And luckily this isn't her ring, but the ring of the donor - as we all know, if the holder is warned by Kidd, it's almost like a natural disaster, so theft is inevitable.

Since she notified the donor in time after receiving the notice letter, the other party would not blame her even if the ring was stolen from her.

In short, Maki was not nervous at the moment. On the contrary, thinking of the bouquet of beautiful roses dripping with dew in the morning light, she was actually looking forward to seeing what the gentleman thief with great taste looked like.

But someone couldn't help but say what Makishuri didn't say.

Conan felt that he was a detective after all and should stand on the side of the police, so he reminded: "I think you'd better think of another answer. Your conclusion may not be correct now. Although you have been dealing with Kidd for a long time, on the other hand, haven't you never caught him once in these nearly 20 years?"

“…”

The air suddenly became quiet.

The next moment, there was a dull "duang" sound, and Inspector Nakamori flicked his finger on his forehead, manually silencing this very disrespectful child.

Jiang Xia looked down at the bulge on Conan's head and tapped it out of itchiness: "Are you okay?"

Conan covered his head in pain: "...If you knock it less, maybe it will be okay."

"..." Jiang Xia thought about the case that Kudo selflessly provided to him, and restrainedly withdrew his hand. But he still looked at Conan's head twice more: What kind of magic is this head? Everyone knocked quickly. When Inspector Nakamori made his move just now, he was sitting so close that he didn't even react.

After beating up the annoying brat, Inspector Nakamori felt much calmer and got back to business: "Anyway, since the show is tonight, Kidd will definitely take action during the show. I will pass on my experience to the London police so they can prepare their defenses."

Maki Shuri smiled elegantly and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

They quickly confirmed the details.

…

When the two adults were chatting about the boring stage setting and the general rhythm of the play, Jiang Xia stood up and stretched his legs, then walked to the window and looked outside.

On the slightly raised edge of the building below the window, there was a fat white pigeon squatting, motionless, as if it was on duty.

Suddenly someone stuck his head out of the window, and the pigeon was startled. Its feathers fluffed up and it fluttered its wings and tried to fly away.

However, just as it took off, the detective at the window reached out and accurately caught the fat white pigeon in his hand.

Jiang Xia held the pigeon, spread its wings and looked at its legs, and found that there was a bug on its legs.

These are indeed the subordinates sent by Kidd.

Jiang Xia picked up the pigeon and looked at it: "..." It was amazing. How did Kidd make the pigeon so obedient? It was even more obedient than his ghost.

After all, when ghosts are stalking, they won't stay in one place, but will always float around the target. Although no one can see them, in the eyes of Jiang Xia, a psychic, they still look a little unprofessional.
