Chapter 790 What Is the Relationship Between Hiroki and Me?
Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters——
A circle of police officers gathered around the conference room, and Conan sat awkwardly with a stack of cookies and a juice bottle printed with animated patterns in front of him.
Mouri Kogoro struggled to explain to the Kanagawa Prefecture police why he was there. Unfortunately, even if he tried to break his words, the police still refused to let him go.
Nobushige had been listening to the police interrogation. He saw that time was passing by and that he and Kuroba Kaito were trapped in the police station and could not leave, so he had no choice but to say: "If I am not wrong, Mr. Mori You and Conan must have accidentally broken into the dragnet you set for Kidd, right?"
The policeman was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly turned unpleasant: "How did you know..."
"This is our internal secret and has nothing to do with you." Another experienced policeman quickly stopped him.
But Nobushige already understood. Sure enough, they were ambushing near the Miyama Art Museum just to capture the guy next to them.
Nobushige smiled and said: "The arrest of Kaito Kidd was originally the task of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Section 2. Where is Officer Nakamori? Why isn't he here?"
Quickly divert the police's attention to the right track, which will help Nobuhiro investigate what he should investigate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the person who came was none other than Nakamori Ginzo.
Nakamori Ginzo's face was ugly. As soon as he entered the door, he asked with a stern face: "I heard that you caught Kidd's accomplice??"
"Yes, this is it." The police pointed at Kogoro Mouri and said, "We found them in the place where Kidd had been. He still had the hood and pistol that Kidd used to commit the crime."
Nakamori Ginzo looked at Mouri Kogoro, and he frowned deeply: "That sleeping Kogoro? Although this guy is very unreliable, he will not be Kidd's accomplice."
"What did you say?!" Mouri Kogoro stood up and said through gritted teeth, "You are the one, Kidd has been committing crimes again for so long, and you still can't even find out his identity!"
Kaitou Kid is Nakamori Ginzo's reverse scale. Upon hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo's hair stood up on his body, and he angrily argued: "I will catch him one day, just wait!! "
"Why is there such a quarrel?" Officer Memaku walked into the conference room with a shy stomach.
Seeing him, Nakamori Ginzo restrained himself a little: "Memaku, I remember that Kogoro Mori was once your subordinate, but he was arrested as an accomplice of Kidd."
"What?" Officer Memaku looked at Asano Nobushige in confusion, "What's going on?"
Nobushige spread his hands helplessly: "It seems that Mr. Mori was unlucky enough to be involved."
Mouri Kogoro complained unconvinced: "Officer Memaku, why didn't you ask me directly instead of Asano?"
Officer Memaku looked like "Don't you know the answer?", but he did have a doubt: "I was accidentally involved in the investigation. I just need to explain it to the police and it should be fine, right? Why is Brother Maori still here? Under interrogation?"
"Because he still refuses to tell me what he went there to do!!" Jugo Yokomori rubbed his temples with a headache, "If you had told me clearly, I wouldn't have kept you here anymore."
Mouri Kogoro dragged his chin and said impatiently: "It's not like you don't know that the detective has the obligation to keep the client secret."
"If your client is Kidd, you are an accomplice." Yokomori Jugo tried to say whatever he wanted, but Mouri Kogoro's tone was so severe that he was frightened, and he couldn't say a single useful word for a long time.
Officer Memaku looked at Jugo Yokomori: "Speaking of which, why did you monitor the building where Brother Mori went?"
"We are not monitoring that building." Nakamori Ginzo replied for Yokomori Jugo, "President Miyama received a warning letter from Kaitou Kidd. The top floor of Miyama Art Museum displays the information that President Miyama collected out of his own interest. All kinds of jewelry. But unlike last time, Kaito Kidd didn’t steal anything this time.”
"Have you been broken into before?"
"Yes. A large diamond was stolen on April 4th this year. Later, President Miyama strengthened the anti-theft equipment in the museum." At this point, Nakamori Ginzo complained with a bad look, "Miyama is probably very satisfied with this incident. As a result, I am unwilling to cooperate with the police."
"But Officer Yokomori shouldn't be a police officer from the Second Investigation Section, right? What does Kaitou Kid's incident have to do with him?" Kogoro Mori stood up and said loudly, "I still have to complete the commission, and I have to leave first! "
Yokomori Jugo slapped Kogoro Mouri heavily on the shoulder and pushed Uncle Mouri back into his seat: "Please be patient for a moment. You cannot leave here even half a step until your suspicions are completely cleared."
Officer Memaku cast a comforting look at Mouri Kogoro, and then asked: "What Mouri said makes sense. Catching Kaito Kidd is not the job of the Search Division 1."
Nakamori Ginzo leaned against the wall of the conference room and said seriously: "That's because some strange people recently wanted to take Kid's life, and some people were even injured because of it. So the Search Division 1 also has to assist in the investigation."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Nobushige glanced at Kuroba Kaito cryptically. The boy had a bright smile on his face at this time, and seemed to be very interested in the police conversation and not guilty at all.
Even if Kaitou Kidd is an intelligent criminal who manipulates the police, he is also a citizen with the right to life and health, and the Metropolitan Police Department has the responsibility to protect him from death threats.
Yokomori Jugo added: "According to our investigation, it seems that there is more than one target of Kidd's group, but we have not found out the information about other people. Whenever we find something, the clues will suddenly disappear, Very weird."
This time it was Nobushige's turn to show an innocent expression.
What does Hiro Shugan's matter have to do with Asano Nobushige?
"Then how do you plan to protect Kidd?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
Ginzo Nakamori replied matter-of-factly: "Of course he was arrested. Is there any safer place in Japan than prison?"
Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito immediately became furious.
He can't stay in this place anymore, he needs to leave as soon as possible!
"Asano." Kuroba Kaito said with a smile on his face, "I suddenly remembered that there is something else that needs to be done. You should be fine even without my help, right?"
Nobuhiro showed a very "gentle" smile and asked, "What do you think?"
"I think there's no problem!" Kuroba Kaito answered quickly, stood up in full view of everyone, and quickly evacuated from the police headquarters.
Although everyone present felt that his behavior was very abnormal, they were originally accompanying Asano Nobushige and Mori Kogoro to accept the interrogation. Even the police had no reason to restrict the movements of innocent citizens.
