Jintaro Ochagi, who was notified that Kidd's fingerprint test report had come out, had just returned to the office. Before his butt was even hot, he received a piece of news that could be called a bolt from the blue——
Kidd, who was locked in the interrogation room, disappeared shortly after entering the interrogation room.
"Police, we don't know either.
"According to your order, we locked Kidd in the interrogation room and waited for you to interrogate him in person. During this period, we have been watching Kidd under surveillance. No one entered the interrogation room and opened the door.
"But Kidd, Kidd just disappeared under surveillance, like magic."
I felt as if I saw a fairy-like police officer describing the scene at that time with great zeal: "The surveillance videos are still there. If you don't believe Chamu Police, you can take a look."
"Search! Go out and search them all! Just don't disturb the special operations in the first class. Kidd won't be able to run far!"
!”
There was a hint of despair in Ochagi Jintaro's tone as he hammered the table in anger.
This kid from Section 2 has been caught for so many years, and he finally caught it thanks to the blessing of Section 1, and now something went wrong again when it was handed over to him...
He hasn't even entered the interrogation room door yet!
"Yes! Police!"
"Wait for the police. If you let all the policemen from Section 2 out now, you are undoubtedly creating an opportunity for Kidd to escape."
Just as he was talking, an uninvited figure pushed open the ajar door of the administrator's office, and a middle-aged man chewing a pipe appeared in front of Ochagi Jintaro.
"Nakamori?"
"The trick under surveillance is just a cover-up trick used by Kidd. I think the real thing is that he took advantage of the police officers who rushed into the surveillance room to confirm the situation after seeing this, and disguised himself as a police officer and infiltrated into our team.
.
"If I guess correctly, the first policeman who arrived at the interrogation room and opened the door was probably not anyone who saw the surveillance."
The man known as Nakamori relied on his experience of chasing Kidd on the front line for more than 20 years. He chewed his pipe and talked: "In other words, Kidd and his assistant who pretended to be a policeman, at this moment
You should be in Class Two, waiting to walk out of the Metropolitan Police Department after receiving the order to watch you."
"...Are you sure?" After thinking about it carefully, Ochagi Shintaro felt that it did make sense. He was a little hesitant.
"That's how Kidd is. He always likes to be one step ahead of the police, and then enjoys the police's performance under his own arrangement. This time, I, Nakamori Ginzo, will never let him escape again!"
The eyes of a middle-aged police officer named Nakamori Ginzo are burning with fighting spirit.
After accumulating accounts for more than 20 years, it is finally time for a showdown——
"Tell all the people in Class 2 to gather with me! I'm going to pinch them one by one! Find that damn Kidd!"
"Ah sneeze!"
In the first class area, a handcuffed figure being escorted by the police suddenly sneezed: "Well, Grandpa Terai, you came a little slow this time."
After stepping into the elevator where there were only two of them, Kuroba Kaito, who looked like a middle-aged man, wrinkled his nose and said.
"The main thing is that something happened here in the First Search Division. In order not to arouse their suspicion, I delayed a little time." The old policeman standing behind Kuroba Kaito smiled kindly: "This time the Metropolitan Police Department is in chaos.
It was a mess, and I saw several police officers being taken away."
"This is the Metropolitan Police Department. It would be strange if a few grasshoppers wandered in. That guy's father wouldn't be furious." Thinking of the white-horse detective in the class who was biting him and not letting go, he thought of what he heard in the bathroom before.
The news that I was laughing at was somewhat malicious.
Detective Hakuba's father is the highest officer of the Metropolitan Police Department - the Director of Hakuba Police.
"But, if this happens, will you also be involved?"
"If the organization behind it is powerful enough, it will definitely know the ins and outs of this matter. It can be regarded as an accident. However, this kind of thing does not matter."
Kuroba Kaito, who was already tracking down a terrorist force, didn't have any fear in his heart.
If he didn't have the guts, he wouldn't have inherited his father's legacy and resumed his identity as Phantom Thief Kidd, and continued to be active by stealing gems in an attempt to attract the attention of the mysterious organization that killed his father.
He has full confidence in his abilities.
The elevator went down to the first floor. Kuroba Kaito, who was still full of confidence, instantly changed into a dying prisoner. He walked out of the elevator with his head lowered and a gloomy expression, passing by a group of people.
Um?
Katsumi Uehara, who stepped into the elevator with a gloomy expression on his face, seemed to have noticed something. He turned to look at the combination of police and criminals, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Uehara, let's go, what are you looking at?"
Miwako Sato in the elevator urged: "The boss is urging us, we have to hurry up."
"Coming, right away."
Suppressing the thoughts that were racing in his heart, Uehara Katsumi stepped into the elevator and glanced at Miyano Akemi, who was obviously restraining her nervousness.
"Aren't you going to tell the truth, Miss Masami Hirota?"
A few minutes later, the third department interrogation room.
Uehara Katsumi, who pulled up a chair and sat down, looked at the handcuffed woman sitting directly opposite him, and his attitude was rare. Behind the one-way transparent glass, the elder Odagiri Toshiro was watching accompanied by Megure Jusan.
This interrogation.
"Tasho's identity as an undercover agent was exposed, and the two undercover agents who participated in the planning with him were also arrested. Now he has revealed everything, including covering up your bank robbery and creating a trap for you after the robbery.
Evidence that can prove that you died of suicide due to fear of crime."
Looking at Miwako Sato who was sitting next to him, Katsuki Uehara tapped the tip of his pen on the table and said, "This is why I was able to lock onto you so quickly."
Outside the glass window, Odagiri Toshiro frowned slightly: "Megure?"
Megure Thirteen coughed twice in embarrassment: "Chief Inspector, um, brother Uehara, his interrogation skills are always more flexible and easier to achieve results."
"I don't understand what you are talking about, Officer Uehara. In fact, I don't even know why you brought me here." Miyano Akemi pursed her lips and tried her best to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart and denied: "I do
I know Mr. Tadokoro, but that’s because I——”
"Sato."
Uehara Katsumi's words interrupted Miyano Akemi's vigilant defense. Miwako Sato, who was well prepared, opened the document at hand and pushed it in front of her.
Inside the folder was a photo, one of Tadokoro's and the other two that Kidd knocked out.
They all looked like they were explaining something.
"I know what you are worried about, Miss Hirota."
Miwako Sato, who showed her ability to empathize, pointed to the photo and said softly: "They had the same concerns as you at first, but we can assure you that as long as you can cooperate with the police, we will also include you as a witness.
Protection plan to protect your life.
"At the same time, we will also provide protection for the relatives and close friends you request."
"..."
Miyano Akemi frowned and wanted to say something, but when she thought of her sister who was still in the organization, she fell silent for a moment.
If she is hidden by the police at this time, what will Shiho do if she is inside the organization?
………………………………
Tokyo, brewery base.
After stubbing out the second cigarette butt, Gin held his gun, eyes filled with murderous intent.
Belmod, who had received the latest news, sat directly opposite him and looked at him playfully: "The news about the mole, this police action is probably an accident -
"The reason was that the thief named Kidd randomly pretended to be a policeman in order to get information from the Metropolitan Police Department. Unfortunately, the person he pretended to be was one of ours.
"What's even more unfortunate is that Kid's disguise was seen through by Uehara Katsuki, which led to the arrest of our people together with Kid. I think Miyano Akemi was arrested because of what those few people revealed.
news.
"Now, the police have taken this opportunity to start raids inside the Metropolitan Police Department, and our people have basically been cleared out.
"When you didn't use APTX-4869 to kill people, your actions of killing people, setting fires, destroying corpses, and destroying traces of corpses had already attracted the attention of the police. They have been secretly collecting the list of police officers who dealt with your aftermath, including the bar bombing not long ago.
"That is to say..."
Belmod tilted his head, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious: "You made a mistake, Gin."
