Fang Zheng did not consider how Conan or Kudo Shinichi would die. He simply handcuffed Kaito Kid, dragged him out of the detective agency, and put him in the car.
"Wait, wait, uncle!"
Who are you calling uncle?
“Brother!”
"Um, what is it?"
Fang Zheng then glanced at Kaito Kidd beside him, who laughed awkwardly and quickly clasped his hands together begging for mercy.
"Um, I'm really not Kaito Kidd..."
"oh."
"Really not. Although I am disguised as Kudo Shinichi, I am actually just an ordinary high school student."
Having said that, Kidd revealed a smug smile and looked towards Fang Zheng.
"Or do you have evidence to prove that I am Kidd?"
"No."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm. In fact, he really had no evidence. No one knew what Kaito Kid looked like. Therefore, unless he was caught red-handed at the crime scene, it would be impossible to catch Kaito Kid. This was also the reason why the police had been tracking down Kaito Kid for so long but had not made any progress.
However……
"What does this have to do with me arresting you?"
“…”
Kidd was stunned when he heard Fang Zheng's answer.
"Brother, aren't you a policeman? You need evidence!"
"I am a special adviser to the Metropolitan Police Department, but I am not a police officer."
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Kidd, then chuckled.
"Just think about it, if I knock you out, handcuff you to the Metropolitan Police Department entrance, and then put a note on you saying 'He is Kaito Kidd' and throw you somewhere, what will happen to you?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kaito Kidd broke out in a cold sweat.
He was not afraid that the Metropolitan Police Department would really arrest him because of this note. Just like what Kaito Kidd said, the police would also need evidence to arrest people. Even if Fang Zheng sent him there, as long as he said he knew nothing and said it was just a joke between classmates, the police would not arrest him. They would definitely take a statement and question him and then release him.
But the problem is... the police will investigate.
Even if nothing can be found on the surface, there will be doubts behind the scenes. Why is this high school student sent here as Kaito Kid? Is he related to Kaito Kid? Otherwise, why would such a thing happen?
With such suspicion, the police might send someone to follow him secretly. Of course, if he is not Kaito Kidd, then there is no need to worry and he can just live his life as usual.
But the problem is that he is Kaito Kidd.
Being under 24-hour surveillance by the police, is that a waste of life?!
And he couldn't even protest, because the police were definitely following him secretly. Even if he noticed, he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't even pretend to notice. Otherwise, the police would think, "Oh, you, an "ordinary high school student", can even spot our secret police sentry. You are really good at it. You are highly suspicious..."
What's even more terrible is that every time Kaito Kid goes out to commit a crime, the police will definitely keep an eye on his house! By that time, if he doesn't appear at the same time as Kaito Kid, then the police will basically confirm that he is Kaito Kid.
Kaito Kidd had no doubt that the police would definitely do such a thing. After all, there had been no clues to find about Kaito Kidd, so they could only choose the day when Kaito Kidd was out to confront him face to face. If they could find any clues now, they would chase them to the end.
By then, I'll be finished.
This is the difference between the police and the criminals. No matter how handsome and legendary Kaito Kid is, he is still just a thief and a criminal. He can succeed once or twice, a hundred times or two hundred times, but if he fails once, it will be his doom.
The police may fail one or two hundred times in a row, but as long as they succeed once, the other party will be dead.
That’s why the police naturally restrain criminals, like a cat restraining a mouse.
The same is true for Scoobing. Before this, no one knew whether Scoobing was a man or a woman, old or young. They only knew that he was a killer who liked to snipe people's right eyes. But now that he was caught by Fang Zheng, these questions are no longer a problem. Now the criminal police organizations around the world know Scoobing's fingerprints, identity, nationality, name, blood type and various characteristics.
If Shi Kaobing commits a crime again in the future, they won't have to look for a needle in a haystack. They can just use this feature to match and arrest him.
The same is true for Kaito Kidd.
Not to mention exposing his identity, even being targeted and suspected would be enough to make Kaito Kidd pay the price.
So for Kaito Kidd, Fang Zheng’s move is not fatal, but it is heartbreaking!
"Brother Fang Zheng... I haven't offended you, have I?"
Now Kaito Kidd was completely scared. Obviously, he also understood that if he didn't want to live a life being tailed by the police every day starting from tomorrow, he had to give in now.
"Do you want me to steal something? Tell me what you want. If it doesn't violate the principles, I can help you."
"I'm not interested."
Fang Zheng waved his hand, but since the other party was so sensible, he would just say it directly.
"I only have one request of you."
"You said, you said..."
"You are not allowed to appear as Kudo Shinichi again."
"……Why?"
Kaito Kidd was a little surprised to hear this request.
"Why?"
"Because Kudo Shinichi is now involved in a trouble. You don't need to know what kind of trouble it is. In short, it is a fatal kind. If you wander around as him, you will only bring more trouble. Do you understand?"
Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced at Kidd coldly.
If we talk about the most inexplicable logical contradiction in Conan animation, this is actually one of them. In the animation, Kaito Kid appears as Kudo Shinichi more than once or twice. Most readers think that this is just a means to prevent Xiaolan from suspecting Conan. But is this the problem?
Of course not.
Xiaolan is not the problem; the problem is the Black Organization.
In addition, the few times that Kaito Kid dressed up as Kudo Shinichi, he appeared in public in a swaggering manner. If there was a person in the Black Organization who was not blind, as long as he saw the relevant information, he would be suspicious, "Hey? Wasn't this guy listed as dead in the organization? How come he is alive again?" At that time, they would be suspicious, and then check again, oh no, the Kudo family did not hold a funeral for Kudo Shinichi, and there was no report of Kudo Shinichi's body being found or buried.
This is not right.
And if someone gossips about this and reports it to Gin, "Hey, Gin, the Kudo Shinichi that you wrote was killed in your report, I saw him alive and kicking three days ago."
Oh no, it's all over.
So it's not a question of whether to disguise as Kudo Shinichi or not, but whether Kudo Shinichi is still alive. Even if it is later revealed that it was Kaito Kid who disguised himself, so what? As we all know, Kaito Kid is not a mentally retarded person, so he can't pretend to be a dead person, right?
If everyone knows that a person is dead, then isn't it courting death for him to pretend to be that person?
So why did Kaito Kidd disguise himself as the dead Kudo Shinichi?
Because there is only one truth, that is, Kudo Shinichi is not dead!
See, problem solved.
"Okay, I understand. I will not appear as Kudo Shinichi again."
Hearing the seriousness of Fang Zheng's tone, Kaito Kid also nodded hurriedly. He was not stupid. In fact, after Kaito Kid found that the high school detective had inexplicably turned into a child, he felt that there must be something wrong. But if it was a life-threatening trouble... well, let's not join in the fun.
Regardless of whether others know it or not, Kaito Kid himself knows that he looks a lot like Kudo Shinichi. According to Fang Zheng, if others mistake him for Kudo Shinichi and attack him, then Kaito Kid would really be killed unjustly.
Not to mention that from Fang Zheng's tone, it can be heard that the group of people staring at Kudo Shinichi are obviously not good people, and they are probably not as principled as the police. They might just pop up and shoot a volley of submachine guns at me who is disguised as Kudo Shinichi. Even if they kill me by mistake, I'm afraid they won't take it to heart.
Hmm? When I think about it, I suddenly feel that I am at a disadvantage.
I am an enemy of Kudo Shinichi, so it doesn't seem right to risk my life to cover for the enemy!
"Brother, you won't arrest me again."
"I'm going to let you go this time, because you're smart enough not to do it. If I catch you red-handed next time, you'll just have to prepare to die."
Fang Zheng opened the handcuffs of Kaito Kid and glanced at him. In the movie, the other egg of memories was stolen by Kaito Kid from President Suzuki, and then he kept it with him as Officer Shiratori. But now, Fang Zheng has been keeping this egg. In fact, Fang Zheng has been waiting for Kaito Kid, who is disguised as Officer Shiratori, to make a move. As long as he dares to make a move on him, Fang Zheng will immediately catch him red-handed.
However, Kaito Kidd was quite smart. He behaved well from beginning to end and did not give Fang Zheng any chance to catch him.
"Okay, go away."
After Fang Zheng uncuffed the handcuffs, he kicked Kaito Kidd out of the car. The latter gave a helpless smile, then turned around and returned to his original form, disappearing into the park on the side of the road.
"That way, one thing is solved."
It was not until this time that Xiao Ai, who was hiding in the back seat, lay down and looked at Fang Zheng in front of her.
"What about Edogawa? What are you going to say?"
"We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."
Fang Zheng yawned and stretched.
"Let's go back to sleep today. It might be a problem whether Conan can get out of bed tomorrow."
