This person is really awful. At such a tense moment, he's still gossiping.
Not only do they gossip, they also expose each other's shortcomings.
Yoruichi Toyama angrily nudged him, then stepped forward with the cat in her arms and, at Taro's instruction, kept a close eye on the officer who was third to last in line.
It's definitely not an option for me to personally capture Kidd; Taro would probably stop me too.
But helping Kidd escape isn't a good option either.
We can only wait and see what Kidd decides to do.
It didn't take long for all the police officers to introduce themselves.
There was nothing suspicious about the other information except for the alarm number Conan mentioned, which led to a disastrous outcome.
Of the 13 people, only 4 got their badge numbers right in the end, 2 got a single digit wrong, and 6 got up to five digits wrong.
The worst one crashed after only memorizing the first three digits.
Inspector Nakamori's hawk-like gaze was fixed on him.
"Ah, that..." The police officer named Koike felt like he had a thorn in his side. He wanted to move but didn't dare, so he could only stand there at attention.
"You are..."
Before Inspector Nakamori could even utter the words of identification, Conan interrupted him.
"This police officer, he can't be Kid, right?"
"If Kidd were disguised as a policeman, and he had even memorized his name and job information, how could he not know his badge number?"
Hakuba Saguru also came up.
"That's right, Kidd is an incurable perfectionist."
"So Inspector Nakamori, you shouldn't doubt the people who can't memorize their badge numbers. On the contrary, you should be paying attention to these four people who can memorize their badge numbers."
"Wh...what?"
Although Inspector Nakamori hadn't quite grasped the logic behind it, the increasingly confident tone of these people made him involuntarily turn his attention to the four people who should have passed the first round.
One was a burly man who was over 1.8 meters tall.
Both of them are over 170cm tall, and at first glance they look about the same size, with moderate builds.
There was another one who was only 160cm tall, thin and small, and looked more like a student than a proper high school student like Hakuba Saguru.
Hakuba Saguru eliminated him with a wave of his hand.
"It's a very simple principle. When a person is disguising themselves, unless they use special methods, they can only pretend to be someone taller or fatter than themselves. It's impossible to pretend to be shorter, especially by less than 10cm."
Upon hearing this, Yoruichi Toyama suddenly remembered Takato disguised as Akemi Miyano when they went to Tsukikage Island.
What do you mean by "wearing height-increasing insoles"?
That guy really knows how to spout nonsense...
I wonder if the puppeteer far away will suddenly sneeze in the middle of the night.
Then, Hakuba Saguru casually shook hands with the burly police officer, patted him on the shoulder and arm, and dismissed him as well.
"The muscles are real, and the hands are the right size for someone of this build."
All that was left were the two officers who were about the same height as Kidd.
“I…I’m not fake…” one of them said in a panic.
"What?! I'm the real one... You, you're Kid!" another shouted, shrinking back in fright.
Hakuba Saguru and Conan exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and simply stood behind the two men.
The final decision was handed over to Inspector Nakamori.
"Baka!" Enraged by his subordinate's lack of understanding, Inspector Nakamori unleashed a string of profanities.
"You're police officers, right? How can you back down in the face of a mere thief!"
"Do you really need me to teach you how to prove yourself?"
The two people looked at each other blankly.
The one on the left suddenly jumped up and pounced on the one on the right.
"Whoa! Phantom Thief Kid, I'm going to catch you!"
With a "poof" sound.
The officer on the right vanished in an instant, as if evaporated.
When everyone turned around, they found Kidd standing on the edge of the rooftop, smiling, having removed his mask.
He was still wearing that uniform, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Oh dear, you people really are pushing people to the brink."
"Then there's nothing we can do..."
With his last words, his body suddenly slumped over the rooftop railing.
In the blink of an eye, they fell into the void.
"Hello!……"
Everyone lunged toward the railing, but no one could grab him.
In front of so many detectives and police officers, Phantom Thief Kid, all alone, was driven to a dead end.
But it disappeared again, like a soap bubble.
There were no ropes on the railings, and no figures could be seen flying upwards or downwards.
Moreover, this time, everyone watched him fall off the railing.
With one person missing from the police team, it's impossible for anyone else to be Kid in disguise.
This is really...
"What a wonderful magic trick!" Mingzhi exclaimed first, regardless of the looks his colleagues were giving him.
Anyway, Kidd's escape had nothing to do with the First Division administrator who was on vacation.
That person is so annoying!
Even Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but mutter a complaint on behalf of the police officers in Section 3.
Then he stroked the Taro in his arms.
Don't ask me, I don't know what he did...
Taro seemed a little unhappy because he watched Kid disappear without understanding the mystery behind it.
I can only pinpoint his location to be a guest room on the 20th floor...
"Guest rooms?" Yoruichi Toyama leaned over the railing and looked down for a while, but she didn't see any guest room windows open.
