Chapter 72: Delivering warmth at your doorstep
Ekota High School, an ordinary middle school, suddenly became the focus of two "new ones".
In order to increase the success rate, Lin Xinyi simply included two junior high schools and one university in Jianggutian Town within the scope of the investigation.
Previously, only high schools were targeted because the workload of investigating all junior high schools, high schools and universities in Tokyo was too large, and the Metropolitan Police Department was simply unable to implement it.
Therefore, Lin Xinyi could only take a certain risk, exclude junior high schools and universities with lower possibilities from the scope of investigation, and concentrate on investigating high schools with the highest possibility.
But it's different now
Kudo helped narrow the scope of the investigation to Ekota Town, and the pressure of the investigation was suddenly reduced a hundred times.
Even if two junior high schools and one university are added, there are only four schools in total that need to be investigated.
Of course, the top priority target of investigation is Ekoda High School.
Because today is Sunday and the students are not at school, there is definitely no way to directly bring police dogs to search.
But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do now.
Lin Xinyi and Kudo were ready to seize the time and start with the most suspicious people:
So, they directly called the principal of Ekoda High School in the name of the Metropolitan Police Department and asked the principal to help him send over the list of male students who were responsible for cleaning the classrooms for the past two days.
after a long time
"Ekoda High School has sent over the list of students on duty for the past two days!"
Lin Xinyi and Kudo's fax machines spit out a thin stack of information.
High schools in Japan are generally small. Ekoda High School has three grades, with only 6 classes in each grade.
The principal contacted the head teachers of each class and compiled the names of the on-duty students for the past two days. After excluding the female on-duty students, there were only 17 male on-duty students left.
What the principal sent was the student status information of these 17 male students. It contained the names, addresses, and photos of these students, which was very convenient for the police to investigate.
"Let's check these 17 people today."
"If we can't find Kidd this time, we'll take the police dog to the school tomorrow to look for him."
Lin Xinyi and Kudo quickly reached a consensus on the investigation arrangement.
Then, they went together to sort out the 17 faxed student status information.
And then
The expressions of Lin Xinyi and Kudo showed extremely wonderful changes at the same time:
"Ekoda High School, 2nd grade Class B."
"Kuroba Kaito."
Seeing the photo attached to the student status information, the two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
"Kudo, do you have a twin brother?"
"No, no"
"Then your father made mistakes and had an affair?"
"No way, my dad is not that kind of person"
"What about your mother?"
"Hey, that's too much."
"Then you are actually a child adopted by your parents, and you also have a biological brother who stayed in the orphanage, but you don't even know it?"
"I'm definitely biological and I look a lot like my dad."
"Then your dad must have cheated on you!"
""
Kudo denied Lin Xinyi's series of malicious speculations one after another, but his tone was a little unfirm.
After all, this Kuroba Kaito
How come he looks so similar to me? !
"Ahem, anyway"
Kudo Shinichi calmed down and then said seriously:
"Now there is no need to check those 16 people."
"This Kuroba Kaito-san should be Kaitou Kidd himself."
"The face he showed in the camera yesterday was probably not a mask."
"indeed so"
Seeing this face that was exactly the same as Kudo's, Lin Xinyi finally came to his senses:
"Now that I think about it carefully, there was something wrong with the situation at that time."
"If Kaitou Kidd knew of your existence, Kudo, and even made a mask in advance, he wouldn't be so bold as to go to the top floor to continue committing crimes, and also use such a simple bait technique."
"It seems that Kaito Kid's face is always like this."
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but sigh:
If it is true as Kudo said, there is no blood relationship between the two.
It was like Liu Xing meeting Xia Yu, or Guo Da meeting Statham, it was a miraculous work of nature.
"It's really amazing." He sighed for a while, and then he came back to his senses: "Without further ado, since we have locked Kuroba Kaito, let's go arrest him now!"
"Yeah." Kudo nodded, habitually wanting to get involved in the case.
But then, his phone suddenly rang.
When he picked up the phone, there was no answer. As soon as he looked at the caller ID, Kudo Shinichi's expression suddenly changed:
"Oh no, it's Xiaolan!"
"I almost forgot that she and I made a date at Dorobiga Paradise at 10 o'clock!"
The appointment at 10 o'clock is almost here.
Detective Kudo almost let go of his childhood sweetheart again.
But he knew that this time, he really couldn't do it anymore.
Yesterday Tian Ge participated in a karate competition that was very important to Xiao Lan. Yesterday Xiao Lan performed another one of smashing telephone poles with her bare hands in front of him.
If we have such an important date today, will we ever think about falling in love again?
After all, this was an extremely rare serious date between a man and a woman in the 13 years since he and Xiaolan had known each other.
Kudo Shinichi originally thought that if there was no case today and the atmosphere was good, he could try to confess to Xiaolan.
And if Xiaolan agrees,
"Ahem!" Detective Kudo's cheeks turned slightly red because he didn't know what kind of bright future he was imagining.
"Well, I'm going to Xiaolan's side first."
"The matter of arresting Kuroba Kaito will be left to you and the Metropolitan Police."
Although he was worried about the Metropolitan Police Department, Kudo was still very relieved about Lin Shinichi.
Now that Kaitou Kidd's true identity has been exposed, with Lin Shinichi leading the team, it's impossible for anyone to escape.
"Okay."
Lin Xinyi also felt that the great detective needed a date to replenish his emotional intelligence, so he did not deliberately keep him.
However, before Kudo turned around and left, Lin Xinyi suddenly called out to him: "Wait!"
"Huh?" Kudo stopped in confusion.
But Lin Xinyi walked up to him very rudely and pulled out some of his hair.
"Hiss" Kudo touched his head that was missing a few hairs: "Why are you pulling out my hair?"
"Take it for DNA testing." Lin Xinyi replied calmly.
"Why are you using my DNA for identification?" Kudo asked with a surprised expression: "You don't doubt that I am Kaitou Kidd, do you?"
"No no no"
"I'm just curious, how can there be two people so similar in the world."
"So by the way, I'll do a test for you to see if you and Kidd are related by blood."
Lin Xinyi carefully put away those hairs and said with a gossipy smile:
"Kudo, don't you want to know whether your father made any mistakes?"
Kudo Shinichi: ""
After being told this, he was really a little curious.
Afternoon.
While Kudo Shinichi was already on a date with Ran at the amusement park, Kuroba Kaito was also accompanying his childhood sweetheart.
He is now at Nakamori Aoko's house, and he and Aoko are looking at her father. Nakamori Police Department sighs in disappointment.
Yes, the Kaitou Kidd, whom the Nakamori Police Department has always wanted to catch, actually often, or almost every day, openly visited his home to chat and have dinner.
In fact, the two of them have lived next door to each other for many years.
The Nakamori Police Department was not only unaware of this, but was now sitting slumped on the sofa at home, looking at his daughter and Kaitou Kid, saying to himself with a pale face:
"That Lin Xinyi Lin Xinyi"
"How can he know how to deal with Kidd better than me!"
"It only took him half a day to push Kidd into a desperate situation, but I was still able to be knocked unconscious by Kidd and used me. What the hell am I doing!"
Like a can of Coke that has run out of carbon dioxide, the Zhongsen Police Department has completely lost its soul at this moment.
"Dad, you have to cheer up!"
Nakamori Aoko worked hard to comfort her dehydrated salted fish daddy.
But even in the face of the sincere consolation from his beloved daughter, the Zhongsen Police Department still maintained his paralyzed posture, completely unresponsive.
"Damn this Kaitou Kidd!"
"It's so abominable to hurt my father like this!"
Nakamori Aoko clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth.
"Well" Kuroba Kaito's expression on the side is a bit subtle:
Why do you feel that all your father's resentment today comes from Lin Xinyi and has nothing to do with "Phantom Thief Kidd"?
In fact, it is still related——
The Zhongsen Police Department was stunned for a while, and then murmured:
"Why is Kidd so hard to catch when I'm in charge?!"
"Why did he behave so badly this time!"
Kuroba Kaito: ""
Hey, hey, I really tried my best.
There was a Saiyan throwing pillars with his bare hands on the opposite side!
If Hongzi hadn't helped with the cheating, he would have been sent to jail now!
"Surely it's because I'm too incompetent, right?"
"Actually, that Kaitou Kidd isn't strong in the first place. It's all because of my incompetence that I let him get away with it!"
Kuroba Kaito: ""
Why have you gone to the other extreme again?
I'm very strong!
The opponent I met this time was too perverted!
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito had another headache:
Indeed, this opponent is too troublesome.
Lin Xinyi's trace detection ability has always made people feel reassured.
Therefore, in order to cope with the possible follow-up investigation, he almost stayed up all night last night.
I hope those preparations can be put to use.
If the other party can really check it to that extent, even if it can escape the comparison of DNA and fingerprints, it will still be terrible.
"Alas" Kuroba Kaito rubbed the slightly visible dark circles under his eyes.
At this moment, when he thought of the names of Lin Xinyi and others and the dog, his eyes were as full of resentment as those of the Zhongsen Police Department who collapsed on the sofa.
And just then
"Woof woof woof!"
Suddenly there was a fierce barking outside the window.
Kuroba Kaito shuddered violently and subconsciously wanted to get up and run away.
"What's wrong with you?" Nakamori Aoko asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Isn't it just a dog barking?"
"Um" Kuroba Kaito smiled awkwardly:
The memory of being almost ridden by a dog yesterday was so terrifying that he had some vague psychological shadow.
Now when he heard the dog barking, he was even scared to death of his ancestral Poker Face.
"calm down"
"It's not even half a day."
"No matter how powerful Lin Xinyi and Kudo are, they wouldn't be able to find me so quickly."
Kuroba Kaito thought this in his heart, and soon sat back with a calm expression.
He continued to pretend that nothing happened and sat next to Qingzi, listening to her father's complaints with her.
Then, not long after
Ding dongding dong
The doorbell of Zhongsen's house was rang gently:
"Open the door, the town hall will send you warmth!"
