Chapter 185 - Thief (2)

As for the others…

No. 5 was not entirely sure about no. 8, but he remembered that the other party had mentioned that he had some dealings with the Black Organization. While he didn't know what it was, he could guess that no. 8 might not be in the righteous party completely. 

Well, his ID alone had already told him this much.

No. 6, no. 9, no. 11, and no. 12 could be said to be the most ordinary ones among them. 

And it was likely that they would not have any involvement with the red and black parties unless they were the one who took the initiative.

Well, no. 1 and no. 7 didn't need to be said.

They have long been involved in this matter due to their identities. 

No. 10…

No. 5 was not entirely sure about it.

[Megumi Aiko [4]: I hope so… Damn, it'll be embarrassing to have my entire past revealed in front of others.

Public Security Officer [5]: Haha, I'm sure that it'll be fun.

Megumi Aiko [4]: No. 5! 

Public Security Officer [5]: Don't worry, you won't be the only one whose past will be revealed in front of others. I'm absolutely sure of it.

Megumi Aiko [4]: Mhm… I hope that it wouldn't be anytime soon. 

Public Security Officer [5]: Hahaha.]

…

Even though this was what Megumi Aiko was thinking, she was stunned when she saw that the investigation section 2 suddenly called her and asked her to help them.

"I don't have that great ability to catch the thief, why are you calling me?" Megumi Aiko asked with despair.

"Inspector Nakamori feels that with your strong power, you can definitely deal with Kaito Kid," Takagi said with a weak tone.

He was the one being pushed as the shield by his colleagues.

Ahh, the angry Megumi Aiko is really terrifying.

Help!

"Me?" Megumi Aiko pointed at herself.

And seeing the other people nodded, she sighed deeply.

"I'm afraid that being strong alone wouldn't be enough to catch Kid.

In fact, everyone also knew that Megumi Aiko was right.

But even if they knew this, they still wanted her to step forward and helped the investigation section 2 to catch Kaito Kid.

Because they knew that hard power might be necessary.

Megumi Aiko: "..." should I thank you all for basically saying that I'm a violent policewoman?

She was pissed.

When they saw her appearance, everyone ran away and Takagi stumbled on the door.

Seeing this scene, Megumi Aiko really couldn't stay angry. They were all her colleagues and she couldn't really go around and beat them all up no matter how much she wanted to do it. 

So Megumi Aiko had to go to the scene and look at the thing that was said to be targeted by Kaito Kid.

"Is he so daring to steal from the museum now?" Megumi Aiko repeated her confusion as she looked at the sword on the platform. The room was so big and she only dared to watch from outside.

From what she heard, this museum was also donated by the Suzuki Family, so she didn't know if Sonoko's uncle had already started to make some weird designs once again. If he did… then it would be better for her to stay away. 

Why did she have the feeling that it was a bit outrageous?

"That kid will definitely dare to do anything!" Inspector Nakamori said in anger and when he saw Mouri Kogoro coming in, he immediately rushed forward and checked the other party's face to see whether it was a disguise or something.

"You're here, Conan." Megumi Aiko was not surprised when she saw Conan coming with Mouri Kogoro.

"Officer Megumi," Conan greeted. 

Seeing Megumi Aiko here, he seemed to guess that Inspector Nakamori should have borrowed her from the first investigation section. 

"So, how do you plan to capture Kid this time?" Mouri Kogoro asked while yawning.

Suzuki Jirokichi said, "I've learned my lesson from the last time. I had this room built, even stronger than a bank vault. Even if Kaito Kidd is so powerful, he can't get in and take the jewels." 

Inspector Nakamori disagreed. "Kaito Kidd is incredibly cunning. What if he's already swapped the jewel on the sword?"

Maori Kogoro rubbed his chin. "Officer Nakamori has a point."

"Impossible," Suzuki Jirokichi replied firmly.

Megumi Aiko was staring at the room through the window display and felt that it was impossible for them to even enter this room. It was tightly covered and they could only watch the sword and the jewel embedded on it from outside. 

"Ah, sorry, am I late?"

"Sister Yuki, you're not late." Mouri Ran looked happy when she saw Hikari Yuki coming.

Hikari Yuki gave a helpless smile.

She received a sudden mission this morning, so she had to 'kill' someone before rushing over to the museum. Thanks to that emergency mission, she didn't have time to confirm many things about the target.

Well, she heard that Inspector Megure went to the scene…

But she had already asked them to send over the 'ghost' to the public security and let them interrogate him. 

"We're about to take a look at the sword, you can come along too."

"Ah, right."

Megumi Aiko glanced and saw that Hikari Yuki's cheek was red. The other female police officer should have checked her not long ago.

Since she's not Kaito Kid, Megumi Aiko retracted her gaze with disinterest.

She had no intention of watching over other people all the time. Anyway, Megumi Aiko didn't have the ability to recognize other people's disguises in an instant like no. 1.

Even if she kept on staring at the other party, it would be utterly useless. 

Hikari Yuki naturally noticed Megumi Aiko's gaze, but she ignored it. Instead, she has been thinking whether it was time for Megumi Aiko's past to be revealed, which was why she kept on bumping with the other party.

Because normally speaking, Inspector Nakamori should not have invited Megumi Aiko here. 

'Haha, if it's really that time, then I would like to know how she's going to 'recover' her memory.' Hikari Yuki was now interested in what the game was planning for them.

She followed the others to check the room. 

Peering inside from the door, they could see the floorboards featured a common chessboard pattern. And at the middle of the room was the sword with the jewel, protected tightly with a transparent glass cover.

From the window outside, they couldn't see this floor at all.

Hikari Yuki looked at the floor and her eyes flickered as she stopped. 

It was a trap.

A carefully designed one at that.

No wonder Suzuki Jirokichi was so confident that Kaito Kid would be caught this time.
