"What? You still can't bear to leave? Do you want to go to jail for a few days? If that's the case, I can arrange for you to live in a room with vodka and let you take revenge on your own."
Seeing the elevator door opening and Kuroba Kaito making no move, Katsumi Uehara glanced sideways at him and couldn't help but said. The latter who came back to his senses gave him a meaningful look: "You're a policeman, tell me this.
Is there really no problem with confidential information?”
"Do you and I have any issues?" Uehara Katsumi, who did not answer his question directly, put his hands in his pockets and asked with a smile.
"No."
Kuroba Kaito shook his head. Not only that, he even reached a brief cooperative alliance with Katsumi Uehara when he used Kid's identity to take the blame at the winery.
A policeman and a thief, two professions that were supposed to be on opposite sides came to the same front because of the existence of the winery. To a certain extent, Gin and the others were considered to have great merits.
"As I said before, I'm just a criminal police officer affiliated with the First Investigation Division. The things you committed are not under my jurisdiction."
Katsuki Uehara raised his eyes, with a pleasant leisurely look on his lips: "It was Mori Ginzo's business in the second lesson to catch you. To me, you are a useful informant. Next, I really need some information from the underground world.
information, you are my chosen target.
"Of course, if one day I am short of credit or in a bad mood and you happen to hit my gun..." The man rubbed his chin with one hand and smiled brightly: "Then I will turn my back on you."
"Are you threatening me, Officer Uehara?"
"I'm a person who always likes to tell ugly things first."
"Aren't you afraid that our cooperative relationship will be exposed or that I will use your name to slander others? As a police officer, shouldn't you be jealous of evil?"
"You may not believe it, but I have only become famous in the past few months."
Uehara Katsuki curled his lips: "Besides, for a thief like you who steals things and then returns them, the customers you stole from will probably smile crookedly.
"Among other things, Suzuki Jirokichi has earned a lot of popularity for his industry by binding you, a peerless thief, to his reputation. When the Suzuki Consortium opens a new restaurant and new industry, it will put something out to attract you, Kidd, to make the news.
I don’t know how much I saved on face and public relations expenses.
"As for the second class, to be honest, thanks to the blessings of you two generations of Kidd, Nakamori Ginzo has not made much contribution, but at least he has gained a lot of real power, and he does not have to worry about being underestimated when facing his superiors.
His attitude highlights his toughness.”
The Japanese police system is a very sick and rigid system. For non-professional police officers like Nakamori Ginzo to be able to get a position in the police department with real power is a blessing.
There are only so many powerful police positions in the Metropolitan Police Department. Each one is a carrot and one is a pit. How many people are staring at this fat piece of meat.
But Nakamori Ginzo's position was as secure as a mountain, even if he failed to capture Kidd time and time again.
Why?
Isn't it because Nakamori Ginzo is open-minded and willing to arrest Kidd?
The members of the professional team were unwilling to have their careers affected by the time it would take them more than ten or twenty years to catch Kidd. As a result, Nakamori was one of the most capable members of the non-professional team, and he made his career as a police officer by catching Kidd.
The first goal is never to cause trouble in private, so he is the perfect candidate to take the blame.
As long as Nakamori Ginzo doesn't cause trouble and seizes Kidd with peace of mind, and takes the blame for failure, the real power in his hands will always exist.
Not only does he have a large number of police officers under his command, he is also able to mobilize armored vehicles and helicopters on his own. This kind of treatment will make all the powerful police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department's son investigation class envious.
As for saying that if you can't catch Kidd, you won't be able to get bonus performance... The funds the Metropolitan Police Department receives every year are actually quite sufficient. If it were renamed as a special allowance, Nakamori Ginzo and his group of people would still not be able to get it.
few.
In other words, Ginzo Nakamori is indeed a good and upright policeman who only wants to catch Kidd. Katsuki Uehara estimated that if it were him, he would be able to lead his subordinates to earn the first pot of gold by collecting funds.
"Ring ring ring!"
Just as the two of them were looking at each other, Katsuki Uehara's cell phone suddenly rang -
"Uehara?! Where are you now?! Can you come back first?"
The moment he pressed the answer button, Sato Miwako's deliberately low voice floated clearly into the man's ear. The latter immediately shrugged at Kuroba Kaito, who was standing at the elevator entrance and had not left, shook his phone, and then turned around and left.
go.
In Miyano Shiho's ward, Miwako Sato hung up the phone and turned her head to look at the young figure on the hospital bed. The moment her face sank, she could vaguely see ten thousand alpacas roaring up to the sky.
Miyano Akemi's expression on the side was completely dull. She could only stare blankly at the sister on the bed who had regressed to an early stage, unable to say a word.
what is this……?
Transform into a living person?
Witnessing this scene that subverted existing scientific knowledge, Miwako Sato, who could barely maintain the calmness she should have as a police officer, closed the curtains and walked back to the bed, clutching her cell phone in one hand and placing one hand on her hip.
He bit his lip for a while, and his heart rate continued to increase.
This is so scary.
So scary...
"Sato."
While she was still recalling the incredible scene just now, Katsuki Uehara, pretending to be confused, pushed the door open - at first glance, he noticed the young figure wearing a large hospital gown on the hospital bed.
She has shoulder-length wavy brown hair with slightly curly hair, a young body, and sleeps soundly with her eyes closed.
"Uehara!"
"Uehara, Officer Uehara!"
The two figures who came back to consciousness almost at the same time turned their heads. The difference was that Sato Miwako had a solemn face, while Miyano Akemi had a nervous face, her head kept twisting, and her eyes moved back and forth between her sister and Uehara Katsumi.
As he stood up, his body subconsciously stood up and moved to the bed.
"Wait a minute, that child on the hospital bed...?"
"She is my sister! Shiho, Shiho, I don't know why she became like this!"
Before Sato Miwako could speak, Miyano Akemi, who seemed to be afraid of something, swallowed and explained the situation immediately: "I'm not lying to you. Officer Uehara and Officer Sato can also testify."
Perhaps because her voice was too excited, the eyelids of the child who was still sleeping on the hospital bed twitched slightly, and then he opened his eyes with difficulty——
The first thing that caught his eye was his sister whom he longed for day and night.
"Sister...sister?"
Miyano Shiho was a little confused for a moment, but the childish voice she subconsciously made made her even startled!
——?!
Sensing the abnormality, Miyano Shiho immediately lowered his head and looked at his own body. She was stunned on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning because of her young body, which was completely shrouded in a large hospital gown!
I...I became smaller?
"Shiho?! Shiho, you're awake!"
Miyano Akemi, who heard the movement behind her, turned around quickly, squatted in front of the hospital bed, put her hands on her sister's thin shoulders, and blinked to suppress the tears that were spinning in the corners of her eyes: "Shiho, I'm sorry, my sister didn't protect you.
,sorry."
"elder sister……"
Miyano Shiho, who was also the person in charge of A-drug, quickly thought of the white mouse experiments he had done in the past and the Kudo Shinichi who became smaller after being fed the drug. He quickly calmed down, and a look appeared on his childish face.
With a touch of calmness and maturity that did not belong to her age, she raised her head and said, "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine. This is probably a side effect of the drug that caused the cells in my body to degenerate to those of childhood."
"Drugs? Wait a minute? There are actually drugs in this world that can allow people to turn back time???" Miwako Sato, who was watching the two sisters communicating as if no one else was around, couldn't hold it back after all, and stepped forward to interrupt the sisters.
A passionate drama.
She wasn't questioning it, after all, she had seen the effect with her own eyes, but...how should I put it, that weird feeling——
"who are you?"
Although his tone was weak, the vigilance between Miyano Shiho's brows never faded.
"police."
The man stretched out his hand to stop his partner. Taking advantage of his height advantage, he looked at her condescendingly and said with a hint of teasing: "Hello, Miyano Shiho. No, maybe I shouldn't call you Miyano Shiho."
