It has been three days since he returned from Kyoto. During these three days, Fujiwara Yu has also reviewed all the case files he has handled in the past, but has not found anything suspicious. Could it be that there is something wrong with his inference, and the mastermind behind the scenes is not related to the case?
Dolphins and two-headed snakes, what exactly do these mean? Is it just a code name, just like the code name of the Black Organization?
I have absolutely no idea. It seems I can only wait for the "bat" that Daisuke Saijo mentioned to appear.
Fujiwara Yu drove home and quietly opened the door, only to see that the lights in the living room were on. He changed his shoes and walked into the living room, only to see Miyano Akemi curled up on the sofa and already asleep. It seemed that she hadn't been able to resist the sleepiness while waiting.
He carefully picked up Miyano Akemi and walked towards the bedroom. However, before he put her down, a sirens sounded outside, successfully waking up the person in his arms.
I don’t know if it was a subconscious reaction or because she was really alert, but Miyano Akemi raised her hand and punched the person who was hugging her without even seeing clearly who was hugging her.
Even though his chin was hit hard, Fujiwara Yuu did not let go because of the pain. He put Mingmei on the bed and rubbed his chin and said:
"Mingmei, it's me, not anyone else."
"Hey? Sorry, Yuu, it must be painful." Miyano Akemi apologized with a slightly blushing face while half asleep. She reached out to turn on the bedroom light and looked at the window with some confusion. "Yuu, it's so noisy outside. Did something happen?"
"I'll go take a look."
Standing at the window, Fujiwara Yuu noticed a large number of police cars driving from east to west. This late at night couldn't be a murder, so it had to be a pursuit of a fugitive. But when he looked up into the sky, he spotted a large, fluttering white moth.
This familiar white suit and white hang glider, who else could it be but Kaito Kidd?
He couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had been too busy recently and hadn't looked for Kuroba Kaito. When he thought of his superb disguise and voice-changing skills, he would always think of a certain annoying woman... It seemed like he had to go to Investigation Section 2.
"It's nothing, just a thief. Go to bed early."
"Well, there's some curry rice I made in the fridge. If you're hungry, put it in the microwave for a minute."
"Okay, good night."
After enjoying the spicy curry rice, Fujiwara Yu had no plans to stay up late. After washing up, he went straight back to his room to rest.
——
The next morning, I woke up naturally, a rare sleep.
Fujiwara Yu habitually got up and looked at the calendar on the bedside table. Ever since he experienced time going backwards, he felt that it was not strange to wake up in winter.
May 26, Tuyao day.
Well, the difference is not that big. It seems that whether the date goes back or forward is completely random.
It was a rare occasion that Fujiwara Yu didn't receive a call from the Metropolitan Police Department. Since it was a holiday, he naturally didn't want to work overtime, so he simply accompanied Akemi to Polo Coffee Shop. There were more customers on weekends, so it would be nice for him to go and lend a hand.
Sitting at the dining table and enjoying a delicious breakfast, the TV next to me is broadcasting the morning news, which is undoubtedly related to Kaito Kid.
——"Kaito Kidd has actually issued a challenge to Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki of the Suzuki Group. Now our reporters have rushed to the Suzuki residence to see how Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki will respond!"
Fujiwara Yu took a sip of his coffee. He disturbed the people late last night and issued a challenge this morning. This Kaito Kid is quite busy. I wonder how Ginzo Nakamori of Investigation Section 2 is doing... Well, he is probably fully prepared for the fight.
——"Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi, what exactly is going on? Excuse me, could you please explain in a little more detail? What exactly is Kidd planning to steal this time?!"
The atmosphere on the scene as shown on TV was extremely bad. The scene of dozens of reporters crowding around was really a bit funny.
Suzuki Jirokichi in the camera had no expression at all. He put his hands behind his back and said words that confused the reporters.
——“Who knows.”
——"What? Who knows?"
"The notice says this... Please prepare yourself, Advisor Suzuki. Please stop struggling in vain, letting yourself be manipulated like a baby. When the bright moon is swallowed by the darkness, I will appear in your family's heirloom vault. Please await my arrival. Kaito Kidd, that's it."
Fujiwara Yuu twitched his lips speechlessly. It was a Kaito Kid-esque warning letter, the kind only someone in the late stages of chuunibyou could write. But something seemed off. Didn't Kaito Kid steal gems? When would he be so high-profile as to publish a challenge in a newspaper, just to crack a large vault?
——"The vault? Could it be?"
"That's right, it's the Iron Fox, the huge, impenetrable treasury built by the famous mechanic Kichiemon Mimizu before his death!"
The final masterpiece of the engineer Kichiemon Sanmizu? It seems quite interesting.
Miyano Akemi noticed the change in Fujiwara Yu's expression, and she covered her mouth and laughed secretly:
"Ayou, are you interested in this vault?"
"Well, a little bit. Besides, I've never seen the master's work, so I'd really like to see it."
"Then go ahead." Miyano Akemi stood up and took out a white envelope from a nearby drawer. She smiled and said, "Actually, a letter arrived last night, signed by Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi."
"Hey? Mr. Suzuki sent me a letter?"
Fujiwara Yu took the envelope and looked at it carefully, realizing it was an invitation to a dinner party. He glanced at Nakamori Ginzo who suddenly appeared on the TV. This didn't look like an ordinary dinner party at all. Was it an invitation to capture Kaito Kid?
No, the time this letter was written is abnormal!
Kaito Kid just sent out the notice this morning, so how come he already knew about this yesterday?
Miyano Akemi swallowed the last bite of fried sausage and asked with a smile:
"Ayou, do you think this notice letter could have been written by Mr. Suzuki himself?"
"Who knows? I always feel something is weird. It can't be that Mr. Suzuki forgot how to open the safe and wants Kaito Kid to help." Fujiwara Yu held his chin and looked at Nakamori Ginzo who was about to curse on TV. He suddenly felt that being in the Investigation Division was not bad.
"So if you're interested, go ahead. It's fun to spend your rare day off with a Phantom Thief~"
"Hmm? But I always feel like I'll run into some people I don't want to see on my day off anymore."
Far away at the Maori Detective Agency, Conan Edogawa couldn't help but sneeze. He rubbed the tip of his nose and wondered, "Strange? I don't seem to have a cold. Is someone scolding me?"
