In the end, Kuroba Chikage did not choose to go upstairs for dinner before leaving.
After leaving through the hidden door, she immediately rushed to her motorcycle parked by the roadside.
When I arrived at the destination, I saw that the motorcycle was still there. Its familiar black body looked especially welcoming under the dim light of the streetlights.
Kuroba Chikage also breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxing slightly.
The new car cost a lot of money.
In places like Mihua, if a car is parked on the roadside for days and no one takes care of it, it will probably be gone by the time you check back.
Or, if you're lucky, you might have two wheels left.
For her, who desperately needed transportation to get home, this was a life-threatening situation.
"Buzz~"
After starting the car, Kuroba Chikage put away the two axes she had retrieved from the basement, then eagerly got into the car and sped away.
All she wants now is to go home and take a nice shower.
The sticky sensation on her body and feet made her feel like she was making a "sizzling" sound with every step she took.
Half an hour later.
Ignoring all the red lights along the way, Kuroba Chikage arrived at his house as fast as lightning.
When she parked her motorcycle at the door, the Nakamori family next door hadn't even finished their dinner yet.
Inside the house, Aoko Nakamori, looking blissfully happy, was enjoying the dinner prepared by Ginzo Nakamori, who had returned home after a rare day off from overtime.
Today, Nakamori Ginzo finally got off work early and went to the market to select fresh ingredients, wanting to cook a sumptuous dinner for his daughter.
"Mmm, Dad, this fish dish you made is so delicious!"
Nakamori Aoko picked up a piece of sea bream with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. A satisfied smile instantly bloomed on her face, which was very similar to Ran's. Her eyes narrowed into slits, like two crescent moons.
Her favorite food is fish, and her father happens to be an excellent fish cook.
Every time Nakamori Ginzo cooks fish, Nakamori Aoko gets to enjoy a delicious meal.
"Haha, of course!" Officer Nakamori's face beamed with pride upon hearing his daughter's praise. "Daddy's cooking is superb!"
"It's just that Dad, you have to work overtime every day, so you don't have time to cook fish for me," Nakamori Aoko complained, pouting.
Officer Nakamori's smile faltered slightly, and he said with a hint of guilt, "Qingzi, this is just what Dad needs for work. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely make it for you more often."
"Really?" Nakamori Aoko's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Dad, you're not going to keep trying to catch Kid?"
Throughout her childhood, the seemingly endless entanglement between her father and Kidd was like a long, serialized legend, and she had been listening to this story since she was old enough to understand.
Her father embarked on a long journey of entanglement with Kidd in his early twenties. This story was like background music in the house, accompanying her growth, and she knew every detail by heart.
She didn't believe her father would just give up like that.
"Of course not!" Inspector Nakamori put down his chopsticks, straightened his back, and said confidently, "I said I would personally put that Kid in jail!"
After being played for so many years, how can I just give up?
"What happened?" Nakamori Aoko looked at her father with a puzzled expression.
"Sigh, Kidd has really messed up this time." Inspector Nakamori suddenly sighed, his expression becoming very serious. "This afternoon, the order came down that we could use firearms during Kidd's arrest. Now the police are all waiting for Kidd to make his move again. He has no way to escape now."
His voice carried a complex emotion, a mixture of exhilaration at Kidd's impending doom and a hint of worry for his longtime rival.
"Hmph, this thief deserved to die!"
Nakamori Aoko didn't think so. She snorted coldly, her face full of anger and disdain.
She had learned everything Kidd had done in Osaka from the news, and every detail infuriated her.
If her previous hatred towards Kid was more because Kid made her father work overtime every day and had no time to come home to be with her, then this hatred also carried a bit of childish willfulness and resentment.
After all, during her childhood, there were countless moments when she needed her father's company, but he was always absent because he was out chasing after Kid.
But what Kidd did to steal this time was, in her view, completely unforgivable.
Born into a police family, Aoko Nakamori has a natural strong sense of justice.
In her family environment, she received education in integrity, kindness, and upholding justice from a young age. The honor and mission of the police were deeply ingrained in her like genes.
She knew all too well the importance of electricity to a city, as it was a key factor in the normal operation of countless families, businesses, and public facilities.
Kid cut off the power to the entire city of Osaka for her own selfish desires. In her values, this is an extremely heinous act. It is not just a simple theft, but a harm to the residents of the entire city.
She now wishes she could personally participate in the arrest and give Kidd a good thrashing.
"Yeah, I didn't expect Kidd to be so crazy this time, actually daring to cut off the power to the entire Osaka Castle."
Officer Nakamori shook his head, utterly unable to comprehend what his old adversary was thinking.
His past experiences fighting Kid flashed through his mind. Although Kid used to be clever and use various ingenious means to steal those precious treasures, he always carefully avoided direct and intense conflicts with the authorities.
They always manage to cleverly find gaps in the many traps set by the police and slip away, which is infuriating, but at least they still have some restraint.
But this time, it's like he's lost his mind.
It's like a normally cautious chess player suddenly starting to make crazy, random moves, completely disregarding the consequences.
Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, Nakamori Aoko, who was picking fish bones, paused slightly, and her expression became inexplicably subtle.
Then he looked back, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the walls, staring straight at the Kuroba residence next door.
"Oh, right..." She divided the fish fillets between the two of them with gentle and skillful movements. First, she put a piece of fish in her daughter's bowl, and then added a piece to her husband's bowl. "I heard that when you were catching Kid in Osaka this time, a young man helped you out, right?"
"Hey, honey, how did you know?" Officer Nakamori subconsciously scratched his head, a look of surprise on his face. "It's true."
He nodded, recalling the scene, and the image of that young man appeared in his mind.
