"Has the news spread?"
In a separate compartment, Makoto Sakaki held a bowl of hot eel rice and sat around the table with Kid and others.
Although there was only an hour and a half left until dinner time, they were so hungry that they obviously couldn't wait that long, so they asked the hotel to prepare dinner for them in advance.
"Yeah, it's already been done."
Kidd held a fried chicken steak in his mouth and said incoherently:
"You have no idea how surprised those people were when I told them the news of the discovery of diamonds!"
Under police surveillance, only a few of them could move freely. No other members of the program team, including Yoko Okino and Rena Mizunashi, could leave without permission.
At noon, Kidd deliberately spread the news that the police found diamonds in the body, which immediately caused an uproar.
Diamonds are big news for Nichiren TV, so the program crew was eager to include the 300-carat diamond in the program.
Of course, Kyokichi Ishimoto disagreed. All signs showed that the two cases were related to diamonds. Diamonds were evidence, and evidence could not be exhibited.
Because of the temporary withdrawal of Makoto Sakaki and his men, the case came to a standstill and there was no breakthrough. Ishimoto Kyokichi could only have the body taken away to the hospital for examination with more professional equipment. As for the diamond...
I kept it, who knows if I will use it next time?
“When those people heard about the 300-carat rough diamond, their eyes turned green, just like wolves seeing food!”
Kidd poured the dark sauce over the golden chicken fillet and said:
"Is it too risky for us to do this?"
"If other thieves hear about the 300-carat diamond, they will take the risk and give it a try even if the diamond is in the hands of the police!"
In the face of huge interests, the police and the law are nothing but decorations. Criminals will not give up the idea of committing crimes because of the police or the law. Only when the butcher's knife is placed on their necks can they realize that death is so close to them.
But usually by this time what should have happened has already happened.
"Do you think everyone is Kaito Kidd?"
After drinking the flavor-enhancing soup, Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"There's a cordon outside, so ordinary residents can't get close, let alone thieves?"
"Then how can we carry out our plan?"
Kidd shouted:
"A thief can't get close to a diamond, and neither can a criminal! To lure a snake out of its hole you need bait. Now you have the bait, but you've blocked the entrance to the hole, so the snake can't get out either!"
"Don't be so excited. People come up with solutions. How do you know you can't do it if you don't try..."
Glancing at the other untouched chicken steak on Kidd's plate, Sakaki licked his lips and asked:
"Your chicken steak..."
"What are you looking at? I won't give it to you!"
With his hands around the plate, Kidd, like a wild cat protecting its food, placed the plate in his air control circle to ensure that no one could steal the chicken steak under his nose:
"The eel rice set meal you ordered is much more expensive than mine!"
"But I see you can't finish it..."
“Nonsense!”
With eyes wide open, Kidd raised his bowl:
"I'm waiting for more food!"
“Okay, okay, okay…”
Sakaki Makoto didn't want to argue with him, so he turned his gaze to Conan, who was eating his meal with rice grains on the corners of his mouth:
"You will have to take action later."
"Know."
While the waiter came in to add more rice to Kidd's plate, Conan also raised his small bowl:
"Sister, I want a bowl too!"
The waiter took the porcelain bowl with a smile, turned around and left the room. As soon as she left...
The innocent look on Conan's face disappeared. He leaned back, stroking his belly, and a sense of laziness spread out:
"It's really troublesome. Although I like solving cases, I can't eat all the time every day!"
“No matter how good the food is, if you eat it every day and every night, you will get tired of it!”
"Fortunately, Xiaolan is not here. If she saw you like this, her jaw would drop."
Kidd expressed his feelings.
"Hey, hey, hey, acting is tiring, okay?"
After complaining, Conan lay weakly on the table and said in a muffled voice:
"I usually go to school, and after school I have to follow the uncle to the crime scene. After I'm done, I have to do my homework. Occasionally I have to work overtime. I work diligently all year round without a break, but there is no benefit at all. At the crime scene, I have to take the uncle's fist, avoid Xiaolan's gaze, find Dr. Agasa to replenish supplies, and compete with a group of adults in acting..."
"well!"
“I’m having a hard time…”
Sakaki Makoto and Kidd looked at each other and laughed at the same time:
"Isn't this the life you've always dreamed of?"
"What?!"
Conan straightened up suddenly and said in surprise:
"Are you serious?"
"At least you can take a bath with Xiaolan!"
“That’s true…”
Conan curled his lips and said:
"Speaking of this, I don't know why, every time I come out of the shower with Xiaolan, the uncle always rolls his eyes at me, and I get beaten up the next day... for all sorts of reasons..."
"By the way, it seems like we haven't seen Maori Kogoro all day!"
Kidd suddenly reacted:
"Where on earth has he gone? He has been missing since this morning."
"Oh, at noon, Xiaolan called him and the uncle said he was out collecting clues."
"It won't take a whole day!"
"Oh, why bother with him? You all know how powerful the uncle is. He may not be good at other things, but he is an expert at stirring up trouble! If he were here, Inspector Ishimoto and the others would probably be led into a ditch, just like Inspector Megure. I've seen many similar situations!"
Conan waved his hand disapprovingly:
"Instead of talking about him, let's discuss what benefits Mr. Sakaki Makoto asked for..."
"benefit?"
After a moment of hesitation, Sakaki Cheng said blankly:
"What's the benefit?"
"Don't act stupid!"
Conan slapped the table and stood up:
"Just now we clearly saw you dragging Inspector Ishimoto into the yard and talking for a long time. When you came back, Inspector Ishimoto looked very distressed. You must have taken advantage of the situation!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Kidd quickly agreed:
"I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to go to bed. You are just waiting to sell your feelings. Bah! Despicable capitalism! If all detectives are like you, when will the great Internationale be realized?!"
"I have already prepared your rewards."
Facing the criticism from the two Corgis, Sakaki Makoto smiled calmly:
"As the saying goes, one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. I don't think so."
"We three each have our own strengths. Have you ever seen Tom and Jerry?"
"After the rats, cats and dogs reach an agreement, they will no longer fear any enemy!"
"So I think that the three of us should form a wartime alliance and fight against foreign enemies together!"
