"Kaito Kidd first appeared 18 years ago."
In the spacious restaurant, Sakaki Makoto's voice echoed softly:
"He specializes in stealing high-value art and jewelry and has committed crimes in 14 countries, including Japan."
"The number of cases reached 130, the number of stolen items exceeded 150, and the total amount was about 40 billion yen..."
"Before each crime, he would send a warning letter to the other party. He wore a white suit, a monocle on his right eye, and the cape behind him could turn into a hang glider. He had many props such as playing cards, pistols, smoke bombs, etc. He called himself a magician..."
Suzuki Shiro kept nodding:
"Yes, this is indeed the style of Kaito Kidd."
"What is the strange thing that Mr. Sakaki said?"
After taking a sip from the water cup on the table, Sakaki Makoto pulled out a document:
"Eight years ago, the once rampant Kaito Kidd suddenly disappeared without a trace."
"No matter how the police in various countries investigated, they couldn't find any trace of him and thought he had retired."
"As a result, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Kaito Kidd, who had disappeared for eight years, reappeared and started committing crimes again, but..."
His eyes narrowed slightly as the document was thrown onto the table.
Even the old butler who was listening stretched his neck. Under the nervous gaze of Suzuki Shiro and others, Sakaki Makoto stood up...
He grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and muttering:
"Huh?"
“It tastes good...”
Everyone was impressed!
Can you talk without panting...
You'll die if you say it all in one breath!
Suzuki Shiro's cheek twitched, he raised his chin to the butler and ordered:
"Hurry up and ask the chef to serve Mr. Sakaki Makoto."
"Mr. Sakaki, please tell me quickly, but what is it?"
After swallowing the bread, Sakaki Makoto continued:
"Since his comeback, his crimes have basically been committed in Japan!"
"Where did he go during those eight years he disappeared?"
"It's not like he has no money to spend and is forced to make a living!"
Sakaki spread his hands and said in confusion:
"But if he was short of money, why did he return the stolen items?"
After exchanging a glance with his wife, Suzuki Shiro's expression gradually became serious:
"Could it be..."
"He was bored after retirement, so he decided to make a comeback?"
Depend on!
Sakaki Makoto rolled his eyes.
This is simply the most unlikely possibility.
Anyone who has retired from the underworld will never return to the underworld again, unless...
There is a reason for everything.
Since Kaito Kidd disappeared for eight years, Sakaki Makoto could easily guess that he had retired.
As for why he made a comeback eight years later...
We can speculate from two major directions.
"The Kaito Kidd who appeared eight years later, is he an imposter or is he really him?"
Just like an underground party holding a private meeting, Sakaki Makoto waved his hand and asked the four members of the Suzuki family to come over and whispered:
"That leads to two possibilities."
"First, if Kaito Kidd is himself, then why did he give up his previous method of traveling around the world and stick to Japan?"
"Second, if the current Kaito Kidd is not himself, then what is the other party's purpose?"
"With such advanced stealing skills, you can just start your own business. Why would you use someone else's name?"
The Suzuki family looked at each other and saw the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
"oops!"
The most impatient Suzuki Sonoko shouted:
"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, please stop keeping us in suspense!"
"What is the purpose of Kaito Kidd's return to the arena?"
With the corners of his mouth raised, Sakaki Makoto sneered. Under everyone's expectant gazes, he leaned back and shrugged.
"I don't know either."
Several murderous glances shot over instantly.
have no idea...
I don't know why you are talking nonsense?!
We thought you solved the case!
What a waste of emotion!
"Well..."
Seeing the four people looking at him with contempt, Sakaki Makoto said depressedly:
"I just want to state my conclusion..."
"After all, I have never even seen what he looks like, and I am not a worm in his stomach..."
"But I do have two unconfirmed conjectures."
Adhering to the principle of getting to the bottom of things, Shiro Suzuki asked:
"What guess?"
"He stole something and then gave it back. What did this action remind you of, Mr. Suzuki?"
Instead of answering directly, Sakaki asked a question in return.
Don't steal things...
Suzuki Shiro thought for a moment:
"Don't you like it?"
Bang!
Sakaki Makoto snapped his fingers:
“That’s right!”
"If Kaito Kid committed the crime not out of interest, but because he thought it was fun to play tricks on the police..."
"Then his behavior of stealing something and returning it can only be explained by the fact that he stole it by mistake, or that he didn't like it."
Just like online shopping, the pictures people often see are all carefully edited, and the descriptions seem good too. People will only place an order if they think the product is useful.
But what if you find that the actual product is seriously different from the picture after you get it?
The vast majority of people will choose to return the product.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Kaito Kidd is doing it purely out of interest and treats stealing as fun.
But if you treat it as fun...
Why did he disappear for eight years?
Pulling out a map of Japan covered with red lines from the file, Sakaki Makoto rummaged around in his pocket and took out a fountain pen. He pressed the map with one hand, bit off the pen cap with his mouth, and said:
