Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 276 270. This moment is just like that moment
Lin Longma looked at the intruder who was as cunning as a loach and was maneuvering among the guards of the Isshin Society, and gradually fell into deep thought.

It was nothing else, he just felt that this loach... oh no, the figure of this invader seemed to be something he had seen somewhere.

The last time I saw this loach figure was probably on the rooftop of Beihu City Hotel?
Yes, it’s him—Kaito Kidd!

The more Lin Longma looked at the intruder, the more the intruder's figure resembled the white figure on the roof of Beihu City Hotel that year.

But why would Kaito Kidd come to his base?
Revenge or...investigation?
Lin Longma felt that the possibility of revenge was greater, as Kaito Kidd suffered a severe loss at his hands last time.

"Well... this is troublesome..." Kaito Kid is different from others after all.

To put it nicely, he is a phantom thief, to put it bluntly, he is a thief. And he is a very capable thief who hides in the dark.

It is not a good thing for Lin Longma to be targeted by such a cunning guy.

In this world, the only good thief is the one who thinks about others.

"I have roughly guessed the identity of this intruder." Lin Longma said to Akita:
"The base's security measures must continue to be maintained, and the intensity of disguise detection must be strengthened.

In addition, the detection means must be replaced at regular intervals, and the replacement intervals cannot be regular. "

"Akita..."

"Big brother."

"Tell the guys below to pay close attention to Kaito Kidd's actions, and notify me as soon as there is any news about him in the market."

Lin Longma plans to solve the problem of Kaito Kid once and for all.

What kind of people are best at keeping secrets for an organization? Of course, dead people.

This can't be blamed on Lin Longma's cruelty, who made Kaito Kidd so blind that he had to rush into the muzzle of a gun? .
Looking at all the Phantom Thieves in Tokyo and even the entire island nation, Phantom Thief Kidd has the most fans and is the most popular. Why is that?
Of course it’s because Kaito Kidd often comes out to do business.

Being a thief is sometimes similar to being a star. If you don't come out for a long time, there may be die-hard fans who will miss you. But most of the "floating fans" will definitely go to follow someone else.

If you want to be popular and have many fans, the most important thing is to work more often.

Other thieves would hide for three to five years at the least, or ten to twenty years at the most, after committing a crime. During this period, they would almost disappear without a trace.

But this is normal.

After all, other Phantom Thieves are just after money, and there are only a few weirdos like Phantom Thief Kidd.

There are benefits to always having more business. At least it is not difficult for Lin Longma to get information about Kaito Kidd's actions.

Not even half a month after the base building was invaded, Akita got the news from the newspaper that Kaito Kid was "in business" again.

"Brother, Kaito Kidd is about to take action again." Akita put a newspaper on Lin Ryoma's desk.

"As expected of Kaito Kidd, he is really efficient." Lin Longma picked up the newspaper and saw that Kaito Kidd's preview letter was published in the news again.

This time, Kaito Kidd's target is a gem called "Blue Birthday".

“This Kaito Kidd is also quite strange, he only likes all kinds of gems, and he returns them to the people after stealing them.

What do you think he wants?"

After learning that the invader of the base might be Kaito Kid, Akita went back and got to know Kaito Kid better.

This understanding didn't matter, he just didn't understand the logic behind Kidd's behavior.

"What's the purpose? If he is looking for something, does this logic make sense?"

As early as when Suzuki Sonoko asked Hayashi Ryoma for help, he had already made an in-depth analysis of Kaito Kid. In the end, Hayashi Ryoma believed that Kaito Kid either enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention as a thief.

Or looking for something.

It is more likely to be both, but the latter is more likely to account for a larger proportion.

Lin Ryoma had no idea what Kaito Kidd was looking for, but after today it would probably be difficult for Kidd to find it even if he wanted to.

"Very good, now that Kidd has taken action, let's start preparing." Lin Longma threw down the newspaper and ordered:
"Akita, do your best to decipher Kidd's warning letter. If necessary, hire a famous detective to help interpret the contents of the letter.

Choose a good place for Kidd's burial place - I need to know his identity, so let him die as Kaito Kidd. "

"yes, Sir!"
.
It turns out that detectives are better at deciphering radio waves.

The Isshin-kai members, posing as fans of Kaito Kid, paid a large sum of money to hire a veteran detective to decipher Kid's warning letter.

The notice detailed the time, place and method of Kidd's action.

All I can say is that one with great skill comes great courage.

Thus began a secret ambush.

"Brother, there is a problem." Akita hurried to Lin Ryoma's office with a serious expression.

"What's going on? Our people have been discovered?" Lin Longma raised his wrist to check the time: "It's not time for Kidd to take action yet?"

"It's not that our guys were discovered, but that they found that the originally scheduled ambush position was taken by someone first."

"Someone got to the ambush position first?" Lin Longma didn't expect that Kaito Kidd would be so hated.

There are actually people who are eager to do the job of silencing people. Is this a good thing?
There is no need to dirty Isshinkai's hands, as someone will help to deal with Kaito Kid.

Is there really such a beautiful thing in this world?

“Interesting, no matter who wants to deal with Kaito Kidd, I, the Isshin Society, will definitely lend a hand.

Akita, tell me who is the one who took our place? Do you have enough weapons in your hands?

No, it’s not like we can’t play the role of an arms dealer…”

"Brother, those people are not right - there are probably nearly 20 of them, most of them are dressed in the same uniform, and everyone is armed with a gun."

Akita's words made Hayashi Ryoma's expression serious.

"Nearly twenty people, and everyone is armed with a gun?"

"Yes, brother."

"Twenty people, each equipped with a gun, what are they going to do?" Lin Longma's brows were furrowed like a mountain.

It is not a big problem if someone has a gun. Although the island nation is a country with strict gun control, guns are already so prevalent in Tokyo that ordinary people can definitely find a way to buy a gun if they want.

Twenty people would not be a big problem. The human wave tactic has no effect on the organization.

No matter how many people they have, can they be as numerous as the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department?
There is no problem if these two things are separated. But when they are combined, there is a problem, and it is a big problem.

If you think positively about this, it's just a dragon crossing the river that has crossed the line. If you think negatively...what the hell are these people planning to do?
The most popular bank robbery in Mihua only requires five or six people to form a gang, and this gang has more than 20 people.

Are they targeting the Superintendent of Police, or are they preparing to attack the Prime Minister's residence?
