Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 116 110. Kidd: It is my "blessing" to have a fan like you

"Ms. Suzuki, Ms. Mori, long time no see." In the cafe, Hayashi Ryoma greeted Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran with a smile.

"Ha, it's been a few days since we last met, Uncle Lin!" Suzuki Sonoko, who was wearing school uniform and holding Mouri Ran's hand, let go of Mouri Ran's hand very naturally after seeing Hayashi Ryoma, and moved in front of Hayashi Ryoma.

"Please sit down. I just tried the cake from this restaurant and it tastes very good." Lin Longma stood up and greeted the two girls before calling the waiter to take the order.

After the waiter left, Lin Longma started to get down to business.

"After these days of Ms. Suzuki's commission, I have some ideas. But before I say anything, I want to ask, have you heard of Kaito Kidd?"

"Kaito Kidd?" This is Ran Mouri with confused eyes.

"Lord Kidd!" This is Suzuki Sonoko with shining eyes.

"I didn't expect that Miss Suzuki is also a fan of Kaito Kid?" Lin Longma was a little surprised. How could such a young lady be a fan of a thief?

It turns out that rich people have unique tastes.

When it comes to Kaito Kid, Suzuki Sonoko became extremely excited. Seeing that Mouri Ran didn't know who Kaito Kid was, she started to strongly recommend him to her.

“In short, Mr. Kidd is such a unique man who combines elegance and splendor.

If I could meet Mr. Kidd in person, I would be willing to marry him!"

Hayashi Ryoma didn't know what to say about Suzuki Sonoko's overly strong intention.

I can only say that she is worthy of being the daughter of a capitalist. She really does calculate the abacus beads without hiding anything from others.

“Uncle Lin, since you mentioned Mr. Kidd, is your plan related to Mr. Kidd?
Could it be that you want Mr. Kidd to represent our art museum? !”

She was a very clever girl, but when she mentioned Kaito Kid, she acted completely indifferent.

What can I say? I can only say that we should be rational when chasing stars.

Lin Longma spoke up and dispelled Suzuki Sonoko's dream: "Sorry, regarding the choice of the spokesperson for the art museum, Kaito Kid is definitely not a good choice."

How could a respectable art museum hire a thief who specializes in stealing artworks as its spokesperson?

"But Ms. Suzuki is not wrong. My plan this time does require the participation of Kaito Kidd."

Lin Longma took out his plan and handed it to Suzuki Sonoko, then explained:

“According to the company’s survey and analysis, Kaito Kid has a huge number of fans in the Tokyo area and even the entire island country.

These young fans have a high spending power. They don’t mind spending more money on their idols, and they are the best source of customers for art galleries.”

"In addition, Kaito Kid has been fond of various rare gems since his debut eighteen years ago. If there is an appropriate target, we can definitely decide the location of Kaito Kid's next action."

As Lin Ryoma spoke, he handed the information of the five art museums that turned losses into profits to Suzuki Sonoko.

These detailed investigative data prove that Kaito Kidd's contribution to the art museum is simply unparalleled.

"Another thing that needs to be paid attention to in the whole plan is the risk issue."

The reason why Kaito Kidd is called Kaito is because his style of doing things is weird enough.

The first thing a normal thief would do after stealing successfully is to sell the stolen goods and convert them into cash.

But that was not the case with Kaito Kidd. He returned all the things he had stolen with great difficulty.

Until now, neither the police nor his fans understand what the purpose of Kaito Kid's actions is. He seems to simply enjoy the act of stealing under the spotlight.

But just because it has always been like this doesn't mean it will be the same in the future. Lin Ryoma cannot guarantee that Kaito Kidd would return the things he stole before, and will do so in the future.

"I can't guarantee that Kaito Kidd will return the items after he succeeds, so this is the key to the risk of this plan."

"Oh, those are not important." Before Suzuki Sonoko could finish her words, she was pulled by Mouri Ran, and then she reacted.

Although this is what happened, you can't say it this way.

So he changed the subject: "So Uncle Lin, is there any way to reduce this risk?"

Lin Longma blinked, pretending he didn't hear or see the two girls' little movements, and spoke of the proposal he had already drafted:

"Professional matters should be handled by professionals. I don't have any good solution for Kaito Kidd.

But it would be different if we had some famous detectives.”

Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up: "Can the famous detective catch Kaito Kid?

Xiaolan, Uncle Maori is the famous detective, right? "

"This." Maori Ran was a little confused when she heard this. It was true that Maori Kogoro was a famous detective recognized by everyone.

But if we talk about catching Kaito Kidd
When Mao Lilan thought of her unreliable father at home, she always felt that this matter was a little risky.

Just when Mao Lilan was struggling with how to say something without pouring cold water on Suzuki Sonoko, Hayashi Ryoma spoke up to help her out.

“It would be difficult for a single famous detective to catch Kaito Kidd, otherwise Kidd would have been caught in the past 18 years.

Our goal is not to capture Kaito Kidd, right?"

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just make sure Kaito Kidd takes action in the newly built art museum and doesn't let him actually steal the gem?"

Lin Ryoma felt that Suzuki Sonoko was a bit too extreme. After all, Kaito Kid was also your idol.

If we catch him now, how sad Kaito Kidd will be if he finds out.

Although Lin Longma said this, Sonoko obviously had his own ideas.

"But the effect of placing the operation in an art museum may be limited, right? How about arresting Kaito Kidd in the art museum?
If Kaito Kidd was arrested in our art gallery, the effect would be better, right? "

"As for whether we can successfully capture Kaito Kidd..." At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko's body began to emit a golden light that symbolizes wealth:
"If one detective isn't enough, find two. If two aren't enough, find four!
At worst, we can call all the famous detectives in Tokyo. I don’t believe that we can’t catch Mr. Kidd!”

Even though Suzuki Sonoko was discussing the capture of Kaito Kid with others, she still addressed Kaito Kid as "Sir Kid".

Polite, very polite.

At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko exuded an impressive demeanor, but the next second her expression suddenly changed:
"If we can really catch Mr. Kidd, then wouldn't I be able to see Mr. Kidd's true appearance?
This is the first time for the mysterious Mr. Kidd! I, Suzuki Sonoko, accepted it without hesitation!"

Suzuki Sonoko spoke clearly, and every word was heard by Lin Ryoma. What else could he say?

I can only say that it is a blessing for Kaito Kid to have a fan like Suzuki Sonoko.

You said you usually steal things, so just steal things, why are you pretending to be so arrogant?
