At dusk.
When Fujiwara Yu drove to the Suzuki residence, he found a familiar white car parked next to it. Isn't this the type of car that Kogoro Mori often rents?
As he entered the house under the guidance of the housekeeper, he heard a voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar.
Maori Kogoro hunched his back slightly, stared with his half-moon eyes, and asked in a somewhat unhappy tone:
"Then why exactly did you call us here?"
He is the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, and he has no interest in thieves like Kaito Kid. If his daughter and the little kid with glasses hadn't clamored to come, he really didn't want to come.
Suzuki Sonoko blushed slightly, looking completely envious, wagging her fingers and smiling:
"Woman's intuition! I have a feeling that Mr. Kidd will appear! But it seems that I am not the only one who has this feeling."
Fujiwara Yu, who was quietly following behind them, had not taken a few steps when he heard the excited voice of Nakamori Ginzo. It must be said that this guy's voice was really loud. If everyone's voice was like this, all the speaker manufacturers in the world would declare bankruptcy.
"Listen up! Don't let your guard down just because it might be a fake! Tonight is the night of the new moon, 'when the bright moon is swallowed by the night,' as the letter foretells. We must secure the vault area with impeccable security!"
"yes!!!"
Fujiwara Yuu yawned lazily, walked forward with his hands in his pockets, and said calmly:
"Inspector Nakamori really becomes full of energy when he mentions Kid. Mr. Mori, I didn't expect you to be invited here too. It looks like... Kid won't dare show up tonight."
"Hahaha, of course, I, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, will definitely catch Kid with my own hands!" Mouri Kogoro laughed confidently, and Mouri Ran beside him couldn't help but feel shy on his behalf.
The corners of Edogawa Conan's mouth couldn't help twitching. If his uncle could really catch Kid, the sun would definitely rise from the west tomorrow.
Fujiwara Yuu forced an awkward yet polite smile. He hadn't expected a casual remark from him to provoke Mr. Mori to such a degree. But then again, it was thanks to Mr. Mori's personality that he suddenly became sleepy and became a famous detective. If it were anyone else, they would probably go to the hospital to check what was wrong with them.
"Sonoko, why did Inspector Nakamori ask all the police officers to guard the room just now? Didn't they always guard the treasure before?" Mouri Ran had come into contact with Kaito Kid twice before, and even her identity was stolen when they met for the first time, so she didn't have a good impression of Kaito Kid.
Before Suzuki Sonoko could speak, Suzuki Jirokichi walked out confidently and said with a smile:
"Because there's no need for that. Do you want to see with your own eyes the Iron Fox I'm so proud of?"
"May I?"
"Of course." Suzuki Jirokichi noticed Takashi Sosuke and walked over to him with a smile. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he whispered, "Officer Takashi, I invited you here today because I have a favor to ask of you. After you finish touring the Iron Fox, please come with me."
"Hmm? Okay, no problem."
Under the leadership of Jirokichi Suzuki, everyone came to the door of a room. After opening the ordinary wooden door, they saw a large vault with an exaggerated shape. It was even more exaggerated than the vault in a bank. There were many metal-textured things on it, and it felt like some kind of terrible mechanism.
There were no other facilities in the room except the large safe. However, what concerned Fujiwara Yu was that there was a window leading to the outside. It seemed that Suzuki Jirokichi really believed that this strongest safe could defend against all thieves.
Maori Kogoro couldn't help but whistled, and he said frivolously:
"What an exaggerated design, worthy of the Suzuki Group. Can we go inside and take a look?"
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Mori. I remember you should have the habit of smoking, right? Can you give me a cigarette?" Suzuki Jirokichi knew that Kaito Kid could disguise himself as many people. He couldn't help but show some vigilance in his eyes, but more of it was worry.
It would be terrible if Kogoro Mouri really stepped in.
"Hey? Okay."
Just as Maori Kogoro was about to hand over the cigarette, his wrist was clamped by someone. He looked up at the man who was half a head taller than him in confusion. The man checked the cigarette in his hand with a serious face, and only handed it to Suzuki Jirokichi after confirming that it was correct.
"He is my newly hired security guard. He doesn't talk much, but he is very strong!" Suzuki Jirokichi explained with a smile.
Kogoro Mouri shook his hand speechlessly. He did feel the strong force, and his wrist still hurt.
Suzuki Jirokichi took the cigarette without any intention of smoking it, but threw it directly into the room. Unexpectedly, the moment the cigarette hit the ground, the sound of gears turning could be heard in the room. Under everyone's astonished gaze, within a few seconds, the entire room was covered with iron bars on all sides.
Fujiwara Yu raised his eyebrows, and he felt in his heart the financial strength of the Suzuki Group. You know, the more expensive the weight sensor is, the lighter the object it can sense. Just like this cigarette weighs no more than 1 gram, which is much lighter than the weight of a human stepping on it.
He and Edogawa Conan couldn't help but look at each other. No wonder there was no furniture in the room.
Suzuki Jirokichi took out his phone and turned off the weight sensor system. The iron fence slowly retracted. He looked at the man with glasses beside him and gave instructions:
"Akitsu, go pick up the cigarettes in there and throw them away."
"But if I go in directly, I will be locked up like before!" The secretary named Akitsu Masuhiko suddenly hesitated when he reached the door. He frowned and looked at Suzuki Jirokichi and said timidly.
Suzuki Jirokichi twitched his lips speechlessly, then raised his voice and said unhappily:
"Are you an idiot? I've already closed it, why don't you go!"
"yes!"
"Really? He's a new hire who was recently hired. What a useless guy."
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. According to Suzuki Jirokichi's personality, he would take even a fake seriously, but now, whether it is a bodyguard or a secretary, he specifically chooses newcomers... It always feels a bit strange.
He held his chin thoughtfully. Could it be that Kaito Kid had some leverage over Suzuki Jirokichi, forcing him to let him go? He really couldn't figure out what this somewhat impish old man was thinking.
Seeing that the tour of the large vault was over, Jiro Suzuki was just about to ask Sosuke Takagi to go to the lounge with him, but the careless maid bumped into Conan Edogawa at the corner.
Fujiwara Yu took an unintentional glance and was petrified on the spot.
He felt like he saw something he shouldn't have... Wait, this guy is Kidd?!
