"So Shinichi, regarding the news about the mysterious black organization, is there no breakthrough at the Uehara Police Department?"
"Ah, the people in that organization are very capable of mopping up the truth. Although I had my testimony about Tequila's death, there is basically no relevant evidence chain that can be found.
"That bomb took everything away..."
In the organization's base apartment in Yoneka-cho, Tokyo.
Wearing wired headphones and listening to the recordings automatically stored in the recording equipment during this period, Belmode, who was wearing a wine red nightgown, tapped her right index finger on the table regularly, her eyes closed and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Until the end of the recording.
Although he couldn't hear any useful news, Belmod's mentality was much more relaxed than before.
To be honest, in this sensitive period, if Kudo Shinichi really finds out something about Tequila and interferes with it, even she will have a hard time smoothing the situation.
After all, Miyano Akemi is now wildly testing Gin's minefield.
Over the years, members of organizations with such ideas have met with tragic consequences.
but……
"Baiganjiu?"
Whispering the only effective information extracted from this complicated recording, Belmode clicked his index finger on the table, opened his eyes and took off his earphones, picked up the goblet of red wine, and looked down.
On the laptop in front of me——
A list of those who died due to APTX-4869 was displayed on the bright screen, and Kudo Shinichi's name was clearly on the list.
"Shirley."
Looking at the signature confirming death, Bermod's eyes slightly swayed as she gently swayed the wine in her glass, as if the figure she hated appeared in front of her eyes again.
Change "unknown" to "confirmed death". What does this woman want to do?
She saw Kudo Shinichi die with her own eyes?
Or is she deliberately hiding that Kudo Shinichi is not dead?
"Boom!"
Outside the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, the dark sky was instantly split open by a bolt of lightning——
The bright electric light disappeared along with the density of dark clouds, and light rain gradually fell.
Late at night, Miyano Akemi, who was still awake, was still thinking about the time she had determined for the robbery. She was interrupted by the thunder outside the window, and she came back to her senses in an instant.
Pulling up the chair, she stood up and walked to the window. She looked up at the water droplets beating on the window glass outside. Miyano Akemi tightened her grip on her phone. An email she had already written but had not yet clicked to send appeared on the screen.
Extremely eye-catching.
"Shiho...
"Wait for me, I have found a new partner, as long as I complete this task.
"As long as I complete this task..."
Miyano Akemi repeatedly murmured the words to build her confidence, and instinctively thought of that man in her mind. Miyano Akemi raised her hand and glanced at the unsent content in the email on her mobile phone.
After hesitating for a moment, I added a PS below the email content.

"What did you say? Section 2 not only mobilized police forces from several surrounding police stations, but also dispatched more than ten helicopters?"
Police station, canteen.
The three groups of people sitting together listened to the latest news brought by Yumi Miyamoto, the king of gossip in the Metropolitan Police Department, and couldn't help but marvel.
"Not only that, I heard that this time, the second section manager Ochagi Shintaro, who has not been to the front line for a long time, personally led the team. He came here to complete his success in one battle and completely arrest Kidd."
Yumi Miyamoto, who is affiliated with the Traffic Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, shook her right index finger, obviously very satisfied with everyone's shock: "Now the Rice Krispies Museum can be said to be tightly covered by the police on three levels inside and outside.
, a jewelry exhibition was suddenly turned into a police drill scene by Kidd."
"I asked why there were so few people in the cafeteria at noon today. It's because Class 2 is planning a big move." Katsuki Uehara was chewing chicken leg meat and took two bites of rice. Looking around, there were obviously a lot less people than usual.
"This is probably the largest police force deployed in the history of Section 2, just to catch a thief." Thinking of the scene of more than ten helicopters taking off for surveillance, Takagi Wataru, who had eaten and drank enough, felt a little emotional.
"No matter how good he was when he was young, after so many years, his physical fitness has definitely dropped a lot compared to his peak period, just like those professional players.
"I think the second class is going to make a big contribution this time. This is the international thief who is taking on Lupine the Third." Shiratori Rensaburo was a little eager to try.
Although the White Bird Consortium has never been patronized by Kidd, this man's reputation is well known in the rich circle.
"That's not necessarily true. What if this Kaitou Kid is not the same Kaitou Kid back then, just like Lupine." Miwako Sato put down Taiko and took out a tissue from her bag, pulled one out and handed it over.
Katsumi Uehara was sitting next to him.
The latter took it over and wiped his mouth naturally: "Sato is right, I took a look and found that the scope of activities of Kaito Kidd who reappeared after many years is indeed very different from before.
"In the past, Kidd's activities were all over the world, but now Kidd has basically been operating in Japan since he appeared."
Not far away from a few people, a figure wearing a police uniform was about to get up and leave. After hearing this, he paused in getting up -
After moving his buttocks, he continued to pretend to eat, and sat still on the chair. He glanced at the group of people sitting together from the corner of his eye.
That policeman seems to be from TV before...
I see, are you searching for the people in the first class?
The side view caught Katsumi Uehara handing out chewing gum after the meal, and the man became interested.
"What do you two mean, Kidd II?" Miyamoto Yumi looked back and forth between the two of them.
"Who knows, maybe the son inherited his father's legacy."
Thinking of Kuroba Kaito's exaggerated disguise ability, Katsuki Uehara shook his head: "It's quite a headache to meet a criminal like this who likes to send notices. Fortunately, I'm not in the second class.
"I heard that there was a police department in Section 2 who has been arresting Kidd for more than ten or twenty years. He was arrested when he was in his twenties and now he is in his forties. It is also miserable."
"Really? You haven't been caught for so long?" Several people who didn't know the inside story were shocked.
How many twenty years can a person have in his life?
This kid directly took advantage of the most precious youth of the police force.
"I know, Nakamori Ginsan Police Department."
The Flower of Gossip Miyamoto Yumi's eyes lit up, this happened to be within her professional field: "I heard from the seniors in the traffic department that every time Kidd was arrested, the traffic department was also involved. I also heard that
He even invited Mr. Kudo Yusaku to help him capture Kidd before."
"..."
Listening to the police officers who began to criticize Kaitou Kidd's past actions, the figure who had been listening attentively twitched the corners of his mouth.
Dad did a lot of wicked things in the past...
"Speaking of which, Uehara, have you deciphered the crime warning letter sent by Kaitou Kidd?"
"I'm not interested in that kind of pretentious trick." Katsuki Uehara yawned after eating and drinking: "Anyway, Kidd's real goal is not the Rice Krispies Museum."
"..."
Pretentious?
Don’t speak human words…?
Kuroba Kaito turned slightly sideways, his eyes once tending to look like protractors.
Was his preview letter poorly written?
"Um?"
Sensing that someone seemed to be looking at him, Uehara Katsuki turned around and happened to catch the sight of the policeman disguised as Kuroba Kaito: "Yo Tasho, has your family matter been resolved?"
"Not yet. Things are more troublesome than I thought."
Being able to imitate the voice perfectly without relying on any tools, Kuroba Kaito sighed.
He just wanted to borrow a regular police uniform and see how many policemen were dispatched by the Metropolitan Police Department. How could he borrow it from someone who was an acquaintance of Katsuki Uehara?
