Chapter 269 Searching for Kaito Kidd

Now that Conan has guessed it, Nobuhiro doesn't mind giving him a few more hints.

So he said: "I guess that's the case. After all, Shi Kaobing is very interested in the cultural relics of the Romanov Dynasty. Since the Egg of Memory has appeared this time, he should follow us to the castle."

"Do you have any doubts about the candidate?" Although he asked this, Conan's expression told Nobuhiro that he had basically confirmed it.

"Probably." Nobuhiro said, "You know I know a little Chinese and have learned about Chinese culture. With all due respect, I don't think the name Pusi Qinglan looks like a Chinese name at all."

Conan nodded hurriedly: "I checked with Hattori, and it seems that Chinese names all have two or three characters, and they rarely use two-character surnames. And I didn't find any Chinese named Pusi. Unless her last name is rare, it's not impossible."

It's Hattori Heiji again...

Nobushige now seriously suspects that Conan and Hattori Heiji have an unspeakable secret, but if Hattori Heiji can see through Conan's identity in their daily interactions, Nobushige doesn't mind sending Conan over now.

"The other thing is the issue of accent. Pu Siqinglan said she is Chinese, but her Japanese is very fluent, but her pronunciation of Chinese is weird. But it cannot be ruled out that it is a local dialect."

"Mr. Asano, is your Chinese very good?"

Xinfan was slightly stunned: "Well, it's not bad."

"Then let's test Pu Siqinglan. If she is really Chinese, no matter what her accent is, she can always answer your questions fluently. And if she can't answer your questions, it proves that she has deceived us!"

"...I don't think it's okay."

Conan frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Because even if we can question her nationality through this, there is still no evidence that she is Shi Kaobing." Xin Fan explained warmly, "The police will not arrest her because of language issues. Doing so will easily alert the snake. "

"Then think of a way to make her throw herself into a trap."

Nobuhiro didn't answer, he wanted to think more.

The current situation is different from the original world line. Because of Ishikawa Yushi, Nobushige told the public security about Shi Kaobing's arrival in Japan very early. Knowing that Shi Kaobing would most likely be interested in the egg of memories, Nobuhiro did not believe that the police would not take action. After all, this was a well-known killer.

It's just unclear how much the police can find out, and what kind of welcoming ceremony they will arrange for Shi Kaobing. These things are unknown to Shinman.

The most important thing now should be to stop Shi Kaobing from killing people.

However, Nobushige apparently underestimated the efficiency of the police.

As the sun was setting, two police patrol boats suddenly stopped the Suzuki family's cruise ship.

Amid everyone's surprised and confused looks, several policemen climbed onto the deck.

Although Nobuhiro's normal contact with the police was cut off four years ago, he still cautiously stood diagonally behind a few people. This position allowed the police to see him but also allowed them to subconsciously ignore him.

After showing his ID and search warrant to Shiro Suzuki, the leading police officer said seriously: "We suspect that Kaitou Kidd is hiding in this oil tanker, and we are going to search here now."

"Kaitou Kidd?" Suzuki Shiro said in shock, "Didn't he fall into the sea already?"

"There is currently no evidence to prove that Kidd fell into the sea." The police officer looked around, his gaze resting on everyone's face for a few seconds. The exploration and suspicion in his eyes were also very appropriate.

If Nobuhiro was not an insider, he probably would not suspect that the real purpose of these policemen was Shi Kaobing.

"We can't rule out that Kaitou Kidd disguised himself as one of you, so everyone on the entire tanker will be searched." The police officer nodded lightly, "I'm offended."

Suzuki Shiro then turned around and said to everyone: "Please understand the police. Now everyone goes back to their rooms to cooperate with the investigation."

"Can I come with Brother Asano?" Conan immediately raised his hand and asked in a clear childish voice.

The leading police officer frowned and was about to refuse when he met Nobuhiro's eyes.

Those eyes were gentle and harmless, not even impatient to be searched. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the owner of these eyes must be a good person, and the kind of good person who is friendly and helpful to others.

Having seen a lot of criminals and outlaws, the police officer felt it was particularly valuable to see such a pure and kind look in his eyes, and the balance in his heart instantly tilted towards Nobuhiro.

In addition, Conan's childish voice and face were still shining in front of his eyes, so the police officer finally just coughed twice, acquiescing to Conan's request.

At least two police officers were placed next to each guest to prevent them from resisting or hiding evidence.

Pu Siqinglan's expression was relatively calm, but expression management master Asano Nobushige still saw a flash of tension in the calmness.

The police are bound to search the guests' luggage. Pu Siqinglan carries a lot of guns, but he may not be able to hide from the police's search.

On the way back to the room, Conan grabbed Nobushige's arm and lowered his voice and asked, "They are not ordinary police officers, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because ordinary police would not be able to get a search warrant so quickly. After all, this yacht belongs to the Suzuki family."

No matter where you are, capital is always linked to status, especially in a capitalist country like Japan. Being involved with Suzuki seems to bring you a protective umbrella. If an ordinary police officer wanted to apply to search the Suzuki family's cruise ship, it would be impossible not to discuss it with Shiro Suzuki in advance.

Unless the matter is really urgent, or the executing agency has a special status.

Conan didn't think capturing Kaitou Kidd was an urgent matter, so there was only one reason left.

Nobuhiro glanced sideways at the police officer following him, shrugged and said, "I don't know about that. If you're curious, you can just ask."

Conan Half Moon Eyes: "If they had confidentiality requirements, it would be impossible to ask this kind of question. But..."

His eyes flickered twice inconspicuously.

It's not that he belittles Kaitou Kidd, but if these police are really the agency responsible for national security...does Kaitou Kidd really have such a big weight that it's worth sending them out?

Conan felt that the answer was no, but if it wasn't Kaitou Kidd, there seemed to be no second possibility... Right! ! !

Conan's eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Nobushige: "It's for that person, right?"

Although it was a question, his tone was very firm, and it was obvious that Conan had made his own judgment.
