"I say... Inspector Nakamori is not really going to resign..."

On the way to the theater, Kaito Kid couldn't help but ask Fang Zheng.

"He should have gone away long ago."

Fang Zheng scoffed at Kidd's question.

"Besides, it's better for him to get out now."

"What do you mean?"

“Hehehe.”

Hearing Kaito Kidd's question, Fang Zheng glanced at him.

"A brat is a brat. Do you know why Inspector Nakamori has been fooled by you so many times, and the Metropolitan Police Department has turned a blind eye to it and never done anything about it?"

"Uh... I don't know."

"It's simple. They are trying to pass on the blame."

"Throwing the blame?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded and continued to look forward.

"Although Kidd has been committing crimes, most of them are just a lot of noise but little action. But this is just appearance. What if? What if Kidd commits a big crime? Who will the Metropolitan Police Department find to take the blame? It must be Inspector Nakamori. Do you think the Metropolitan Police Department is full of idiots? No, they are suppressing it and waiting to settle the score later. If the responsibility for that case is too big, then they can completely push it all onto Inspector Nakamori. You see, Inspector Nakamori has been chasing Kaito Kidd for eighteen years and has failed every time. If there is another big blame, he won't even be able to resign. With what he has done over the years, he is bound to be guilty of dereliction of duty. Just like I said..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced coldly at Kaito Kidd.

"Not being able to catch Kaito Kid is incompetence, but knowing that you can't catch him and still wasting a lot of police resources in the Metropolitan Police Department is dereliction of duty! The Metropolitan Police Department has never set up a special department to catch Kaito Kid, and Inspector Nakamori doesn't care about anything else except Kaito Kid's cases, so what kind of police officer is he?! Since he likes Kaito Kid so much, he might as well take off his police uniform and learn to be a detective like Kogoro Mouri!"

"Well……"

At this moment, Kaito Kidd really has nothing to say.

"The Nakamori Police Department has brought this upon itself. It would be fine if he was still handling other cases, but he ignored all the cases and only focused on Kaito Kid. This kind of person is not fit to be a police officer! The Metropolitan Police Department didn't let him wear this police uniform to catch Kaito Kid! In short, he should either resign or take the blame. He deserves it."

Fang Zheng snorted coldly. He had no sympathy for Inspector Nakamori. His fate was already determined.

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kaito Kidd just laughed dryly and was speechless. It would be fine if the other party didn't know the relationship between him and Inspector Nakamori, but Kaito Kidd knew that the father was his childhood sweetheart... Well, if he really resigned because of Kaito Kidd, wouldn't his childhood sweetheart hate Kidd even more?

What can I do...

Although he was wailing and sighing in his heart, Kaito Kidd still maintained his expression. He knew that the person sitting next to him was an expert in micro-expressions, and if he was too shaken, he might reveal something... However, Fang Zheng obviously didn't care about his intention. He just drove to the Space Theater and then took Kaito Kidd to the backstage.

There, he saw Maori Kogoro, Conan, Xiaolan, Sonoko and the Junior Detective Team...

Seeing the appearance of "Kudo Shinichi", Conan naturally couldn't help but directly point out that the other party was Kaito Kid, but Conan obviously never dreamed that Kaito Kid looked very similar to him, so he didn't react even when Maori Kogoro went up to him. Kaito Kid seemed to have regained his playful demeanor and began to greet everyone.

"Hey, what's going on?"

At this moment, Conan also came to Fang Zheng and questioned him dissatisfiedly.

"Why does Kaito Kidd appear here?"

"You can guess it already, why do you need to ask me?"

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you arrest him?"

"Well said, if you have evidence to prove that he is Kaito Kidd, I will arrest him now."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Conan stopped talking.

That's right, this is the biggest problem. Although they all know that the man in front of them is Kaito Kidd, they don't have any evidence to prove that he is Kaito Kidd. Therefore, even if Fang Zheng catches him on the spot, he can't produce evidence to prove that he is Kaito Kidd in court. What if it is Naruhodo who defends Kidd? If things go wrong, Fang Zheng himself might end up in jail, which would be a problem...

"Can't you think of a solution?"

Looking at Kid dressed up as "Kudo Shinichi" and smiling with Xiaolan over there, Conan was filled with anger. And unlike the original work, Xiaolan now knew that the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of her was a fake, so she looked to Conan for help from time to time, but Conan is now an elementary school student, what can he do?

"Leave it to me."

Hearing Conan's words, Fang Zheng nodded, then reached out and pressed Conan's head.

"Have your hat on."

"???"

Conan touched his head, looking confused.

Hat? You don't have a hat on?

At this moment on the other side, Kidd was also using his ancestral skills to seduce girls, and was "chatting and laughing" with Xiaolan. Although Xiaolan knew that this "Shinichi" was fake, seeing the face that looked exactly like Shinichi smiling at her and talking to her in a familiar voice, she felt a little bit fluttering in her heart.

"By the way, should we go to the roof and take a look? Is there an exhibition stand up there?"

"this……"

Faced with the invitation from "Kudo Shinichi", Xiaolan was also very embarrassed. However, at this moment, Fang Zheng came over and grabbed "Kudo Shinichi"'s hand.

"Kudou-kun, we are here to investigate a case. I hope you won't delay things."

"What's the matter? Lan and I are childhood sweethearts. There's nothing wrong with talking to each other, right?"

At this point, Kid winked at Conan proudly, making the latter so angry that he almost took out a tranquilizer gun to shoot him.

However, in response to the words of "Kudo Shinichi", Fang Zheng chuckled.

"We are just childhood friends, so please don't get so close to Xiaolan."

"What do you mean?"

“It’s very simple.”

In response to "Kudo Shinichi's" question, Fang Zheng reached out, grabbed Xiaolan's hand and pulled it gently. The next moment, he pulled Xiaolan directly into his arms!

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned!

"That's what I mean, do you understand? Kudo Shinichi?"

While holding Xiaolan in his arms, Fang Zheng looked at "Kudo Shinichi" with a smile.

"Childhood sweethearts are just childhood sweethearts after all...but I'm different."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng leaned close to Xiaolan's ear.

"I like Miss Xiaolan. Miss Xiaolan, don't worry about this mystery maniac. How about dating me?"

“——???”

Seeing this scene which seemed like a domineering president trying to steal the bride, everyone present was stunned. They subconsciously looked at "Kudo Shinichi", waiting to see how he would respond.

At this moment, "Kudo Shinichi" was also sweating coldly. He was just flirting with the girl instinctively, but if he really had to confess his love - and the other party was not his childhood sweetheart, how could he say it? Even if he was pretending to be Kudo Shinichi now...

Hey, what do you say we should do? !

At this time, Kaito Kidd could only look at Conan speechlessly, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

At this moment, Conan was also in a dilemma. Of course, he didn't want Kaito Kid to confess to Xiaolan. He should confess himself, but if he didn't confess, wouldn't everyone think he was a coward? But let Kaito Kid confess to Xiaolan on his behalf? Wait, even if they look alike, it's not him!!

At this moment, Conan was also disheveled and out of control.

"Wait, wait a moment, Mr. Fang Zheng."

At this moment, Xiaolan also reacted and quickly broke free from Fang Zheng's arms.

"Well... this is too sudden, and..."

"I know. It seems I was a little too impatient."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took Xiaolan's hand, kissed her fingers gently, and then smiled at her.

"But I won't give up. Please give me a chance, Miss Xiaolan. I promise to make you happier than this mystery geek... I hope you will consider it carefully."

After saying this, Fang Zheng turned and left, leaving Xiaolan standing there with a blushing face.

"Really? What the hell are you doing?"

At this moment, Sonoko also jumped out and shouted at "Kudo Shinichi" in dissatisfaction. As the leader of the "Shinran Party", she has always been betting on Shinran's stock, but now this stock is about to collapse? Can it still be cured?

Of course, Sonoko had no problem with Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng's bold display of love in front of everyone just now even made her heart flutter. However, what Sonoko was dissatisfied with was that "Kudo Shinichi" was at a loss when facing Fang Zheng's challenge, and did not react at all, as timid as a turtle!

If this continues, as the original shareholder of Xinlan shares, she will have to abandon Xinlan shares and switch to buying Fanglan shares!

“Really.”

"Nothing."

Not only did Sonoko complain, but even the kids watching the fun nearby, like Ayumi, also expressed their opinions - after all, in the eyes of everyone who didn't know the truth, this "Kudo Shinichi" in front of them had no reaction at all to Fang Zheng's bold move, which was simply a coward.

It’s a pity that Sister Xiaolan likes him so much!

At this moment, Conan really wanted to find a rope to hang himself...

"Sorry, I have to leave for a moment..."

At this moment, "Kudo Shinichi" also looked at Conan awkwardly, then turned and ran away. Conan walked up to Xiaolan and asked in a low voice.

"Are you okay, Sister Xiaolan?"

"Yeah, it's okay, I was just scared, that... nothing..."

Facing Conan's question, Xiaolan smiled and waved her hand hastily, but her face was still flushed at this moment...

Seeing this scene, Conan's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling...

At this moment, "Kudo Shinichi" also caught up with Fang Zheng.

"Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, wanna know what it means?"

Fang Zheng looked around, then opened the door of a nearby warehouse and waved to Kaito Kidd.

"Come on, come in and I'll show you something good."

"???"

Although he was puzzled by Fang Zheng's behavior, Kaito Kidd still walked in. However, as he entered the room, a pair of shiny handcuffs were handcuffed on his wrists with a "click".

"Wait, Mr. Fang Zheng, what are you doing? Are you trying to arrest me? You don't have any evidence to prove that I am Kaito Kidd."

"Yes, the police cannot arrest people without evidence, but I am not a police officer."

“…”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Kaito Kidd broke out in a cold sweat.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"It's simple. Punishment."

Fang Zheng said this without stopping his actions. He locked the door of the warehouse, picked up the person next to him, tied up Kaito Kidd, and then hung him from the ceiling.

"I think you are just itching for trouble. I told you not to dress up as Kudo Shinichi anymore, but you ignored my words, didn't you?"

"Well, look, but I already told you not to tell the media..."

"Haha, you're still making excuses for me. Have you never been beaten by your father since you were a child?"

"Well, my dad has been missing for a long time..."

"I knew it. Well, I'll let you make up for this lesson today!"

"…Wait, why did you take off my pants? And you whipped my belt?"

"Today I will treat you to our Chinese specialty, fried pork with belt!"

"Why?"

“Bang!”

“Wa ...

"You can scream, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"

“Bang!”

"Stop, stop it, even my father has never hit me!"

"So you deserve to be punished!"

“Bang!!”

"Wow, stop hitting me! My butt is getting swollen!"

"How can you learn your lesson if I don't beat you harder? Tell me, do you dare to do it again?!"

“Bang!”

"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again next time...!"

"There will be a next time?!"

“Bang!!”

"I don't dare anymore. I won't dare to do it again... "

Accompanied by the crisp sound of whipping, Kaito Kidd's screams gradually echoed in the small warehouse...
