Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight Reverse Three Choose One
"Police Department, the surveillance equipment was destroyed, and we can't get any useful footage."
"The police department has asked. The scene was too chaotic at the time. Mrs. Suzuki herself didn't know who took away the pearls and gems she wore on her chest. There were too many people close to her during that time."
"Police Department..."
After ending this chaotic dinner, the cruise ship was sailing back to Yokohama Port. The police who had completed all investigations were reporting to their superiors one by one.
The two leaders, Megure Thirteen and Nakamori Ginzo, respectively looked at the information related to the cases compiled on their hands and looked at each other with solemn expressions.
"Nakamori-kun, judging from the information we have so far, I am more inclined to think that she may have seen the true face of Kaitou Kidd inadvertently, and that is why Kidd wanted to murder her.
.
"Don't forget, she was once a big star traveling all over Europe. It is entirely possible that she has met Kidd."
Wearing a brown and gray ceremonial suit, Mu Mu Thirteen pressed down the top hat on his head and said in a deep voice: "Because it involves the murder of Chris Binyard, our three departments will be responsible for this case next.
Hope you can understand."
"I see."
Nakamori Ginzo, who has been a policeman for so many years, is not the kind of person who is ignorant. Although he is shocked as to why Kid would kill people, if his true identity has been accidentally broken by someone, this reason is not impossible.
.
After all, Kidd suddenly disappeared eight years ago and only reappeared in Japan this year.
No one can say for sure whether anything happened to Kidd in the past eight years that changed his philosophy and personality.
"Police Department! A person suspected of being unconscious due to Kidd was found on the lifeboat!"
"who is it?"
"According to family identification, it is Mao Lilan."
"……What did you say?!"
Who never expected Kidd to be able to pretend to be Mao Lilan's eyes widened in an instant——
At the lifeboat, Conan, who arrived at the scene with Mouri Kogoro, looked livid.
"She's fine, she just fell asleep. Kidd didn't do anything to her." The policeman who discovered her handed over the sleeping Maori Lan to Kogoro Mori, who looked worried.
"Kaitou Kidd, this bastard, don't let me catch him next time!"
Kogoro, who had never thought that his daughter would encounter such a thing, his eyes changed, and his tone of gritted teeth was extremely firm.
After confirming that Xiaolan was indeed fine, Conan stepped aside, recalling everything that had happened before, and was horrified by Kidd's terror——
He was obviously a man, but he played the role of Mao Lilan perfectly. Neither he nor Uncle Mao Li could detect anything unusual.
Outside the crowd of onlookers, Belmode, who had just asked for police protection, turned cold and his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The ability to disguise is really scary. I didn't expect that the person played by Kidd would actually be Mao Lilan. It was really unexpected."
Uehara Katsumi, who was dragged over by his partner after hearing the news, leaned on her shoulder and sighed: "Are you sure our next opponent will be him? Can I apply for a substitution?"
"Get serious about Uehara."
Seeing the busy figures of the second section police officers, Miwako Sato could not help but poke the man in the abdomen with her elbow: "Megure Police Department said that we need to go back to have a meeting to formulate a strategy."
"What if, I mean what if. What if someone really wants to put the blame on Kidd?"
Uehara Katsumi's words immediately caused Conan, who was thinking, to turn around——
The man blinked at him, and a trace of confusion flashed across the latter's eyes.
Belmode, who had taken in all of this, narrowed her beautiful eyes and glanced at the two people who were interacting in a subtle way from the corner of her eyes, becoming more and more sure of the guess in her heart.

"Grandpa Terai, how are you? Do you still have an impression?"
"Master Kaito, Master Toichi did accept two students before, namely Yukiko Fujimine and Sharon Binyard."
In the parking lot of Yokohama Port, in an inconspicuous black car, Kuroba Kaito, who had torn off his guest disguise, revealed his true face in front of the old man he trusted most, and the expression on his face was no longer the poker face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Face: "Fujimine Yukiko? The one from the Kudo family?"
"That's right, it's Kudo Yukiko. When she was 20 years old, she got married to Kudo Yusaku and retired. Speaking of which, Master Kaito, you met her when you were a child, and Master Touichi once took you to meet her.
.”
The old man who was driving smoothly recalled the past with the two beautiful celebrities who came to study with Black Feather Pirates: "As for the other one, Sharon Binyard did have a man named Chris Binyard.
My daughter is the one you met on the cruise ship."
"It seems that organization can't bear it anymore, Grandpa Terai."
Kaito Kuroba, who took over his father's mantle and brought Kaito Kidd back to earth, had a flash of excitement in his eyes: "Sure enough, even though they killed their father, they will definitely take action when they see Kaitou Kidd appear again.
.
"Someone in the magic club that Chris Binyard attended may have had contact with that organization, and she may have said something she heard from her mother, Sharon Binyard, which led to the organization
Take action, in the name of Kaitou Kidd."
"Are you going to check, Master Kaito?"
After hearing what Kuroba Kaito saw and heard on the cruise ship, the old man, who was a senior assistant to Kuroba Pirates, couldn't help but look a little more solemn: "Since the other party can tamper with those pearls, they will definitely leave traces.
"
"No, Grandpa Terai, if the other party is really that organization, we will only fall into their trap if we follow the Pearl line to investigate."
Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito objected: "Since they will use this method to make me take the blame, it means that they don't know my true identity, and they can't find any clues about me.
"Once you go to investigate, you will undoubtedly be trapped in a trap. They are just waiting for us to reveal our flaws."
"...Then what should we do? Just let this clue go?"
"No, there is another person."
"Alone? Master Kaito, you mean-"
"Yes, Chris Binyard, the big star."
The corner of Kuroba Kaito's mouth raised: "However, to be cautious, I cannot contact her as Kid or even in other identities in real life. It would be terrible if she is also the bait thrown by the other party."
"Also...bait?"
Tokyo, Cupido Town.
In the Porsche 356A driving on the road, Vodka opened his mouth in surprise: "Brother, is this true?"
"If the thief is from the police, then this arrangement will not be used.
"Assuming it's not the case, then he will have two choices: to investigate or not to investigate.
"If he doesn't check, Belmode's only mission is to find Miyano Akemi's location.
"But if the thief is afraid that his power will be exposed, he plans to appear next to the woman in person and wants to find out who is framing him as a police officer..."
Pulling a cigarette out of the cigarette box and biting it in his mouth, Gin turned on the cigarette lighter in the car, with a cold smile on his lips: "The criminal case will definitely be handed over from Section 2 to Section 1, and at that time
The closed environment on the cruise ship determined that the case would not be handed over to other members of the Investigation Division, but would only be handled by members of the three departments who were on the cruise ship at the time.
"That is, one of the five people: Megure Juzo, Uehara Katsumi, Shiratori Rensaburo, Sato Miwako, Takagi Wataru, and Chiba Kazanobu.
"Considering the issue of police rank, Kidd's target of disguise can only choose one of Megure Thirteen, Uehara Katsumi and Shiratori Rensaburo."
