Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 282 276. Why didn’t you say it earlier?
Kuroba Kaito met the most unreasonable person at the most helpless age.

Before leaving school, I was taught a lesson by Lin Longma, a "social man".

Sometimes some people follow the rules when doing things, and sometimes some people don't.

There are also some people who decide whether or not to follow the rules depends on whether the rules are beneficial to them.

Obviously, Lin Longma belongs to the latter category.

Kuroba Kaito's poker face couldn't be maintained after all. After years of roaming around Tokyo, what had he not seen?

He had never seen someone like Lin Longma before.

It is beyond the scope of the syllabus.

Kuroba Kaito felt a little confused at this moment. There are policemen in this room. How can you frame me so blatantly? Isn't this a bit too arrogant?
My gaze shifted to Bai Niao's face. Bai Niao now had a righteous look on his face and did not look away.

The main point is that as long as I didn’t see it, I didn’t hear anything either.

As for the principles of criminal police... Isn't it good enough if the result is right? Anyway, there are no other colleagues here.

Lin Ryoma cast an encouraging look at Kuroba Kaito. He really hoped that Kuroba Kaito would say something.

In fact, Lin Longma made two preparations.

Either Kuroba Kaito agrees to their cooperation, and everyone becomes friends and stands on the same front from now on.

Or... Lin Longma will send Kaito Kid to prison himself and arrange an accident at the same time.

Isshinkai will never allow unexpected factors like Kaito Kid to interfere at any time.

The safety of many brothers' lives and property depend on the base, and the Isshin Society will never allow Kaito Kidd to covet the base.

Ultimately, it was Kaito Kidd's smooth operations that paralyzed Kuroba Kaito's nerves.

Especially the Suzuki Group incident.

He set his sights on the heirloom of the Suzuki Group and sent a warning letter to provoke them. Although he failed miserably at the beginning of the operation, he managed to escape successfully in the end.

The most important thing is that the Suzuki Group has no plans or actions to settle accounts.

The Suzuki Group's disregard undoubtedly made Kuroba Kaito feel that even if he went against these big companies, the consequences would be just this.

Or... there are no consequences at all?
This is the most essential difference between the Suzuki Group and Isshinkai.

As a comprehensive group, Suzuki Group's subsidiaries basically cover everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. This means that the consumer group they face is ordinary citizens.

How many citizens of the island country are fans of Kaito Kid?

There are countless fans of Kaito Kid, and most of them are young people.

If he stole something from the Suzuki family and then something happened to Kidd, wouldn't that be admitting guilt?

Given Kidd's influence among young people, there might be a wave of boycotts.

By then, the Suzuki Group’s reputation will be ruined.

Since Kidd didn't succeed anyway, the Suzuki family simply let Kaito Kid go.

The same logic doesn't work for Lin Longma and Isshinkai.

Because Lin Longma’s consulting company is essentially not doing business for ordinary citizens.

Take a look at Isshin Consulting’s partners: Suzuki Group, Shiratori Group, Shirakawa City Bank, and Mika City Bank…

There is no one here at all.

It’s not that there is no one. The last person who collaborated with Hayashi Ryoma was Moritani Teiji.

For Hayashi Ryoma, since Kaito Kidd has come to him for provocation, he cannot simply take a step back and let the world become broader.

He had to fight back, and fight back fiercely and forcefully.

The partners are all watching. Why would they cooperate if a thief is riding on their necks?
Just because the Suzuki Group didn't care didn't mean that Hayashi Ryoma didn't care. In the final analysis, it was because his actions were too smooth, and Kuroba Kaito was a little too proud.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Kuroba Kaito accepted his fate.

If the pirated Phantom Thief suit in the paper box was the yellow mud that Hayashi Ryoma used to frame Kuroba Kaito, then Kuroba Kaito would have no room for resistance.

Because there really is “shit” in his “crotch”.

The police were originally in a passive position because they did not know the true identity of Kaito Kid.

Now with Lin Longma's unethical assist...

An investigation without any clues is difficult, but once you have the results, working backwards through the process is a piece of cake when handling a case.

The most interesting thing is that Kuroba Kaito is really Kaito Kid. Once he is caught, he doesn’t even have a place to protest his injustice.

[Kuroba Kaito, oh Kuroba Kaito, tell me why you had to provoke him! ]

Kuroba Kaito was completely passive and felt that he had really lost his mind at the time.

Lin Longma was only doing his duty on behalf of others...why did he have to break into Lin Longma's company?
.
Kuroba Kaito's words made Hayashi Ryoma and Shiratori look at each other. The young man finally "spoke up".

Kuroba Kaito's words meant that he acknowledged the identity of Kaito Kid.

It also means that he is showing weakness to Hayashi Ryoma and Shiratori.

I am at the mercy of others. If Kuroba Kaito doesn't want to go to prison for further studies at such a young age, he has to admit defeat.

Kuroba Kaito also understood that if these two people really wanted to arrest him, they just needed to bring the police to his house.

There is no need to go to so much trouble.

The fact that they did this meant that these two people needed him - he just didn't know what they wanted him to do.

Kuroba Kaito pondered in his heart that he definitely couldn't refuse. He just had to pretend to be nice.

Lin Longma did not state his request directly, but took out his cell phone and called Jintian.

Soon, Jintian brought a tablet, handed it to Lin Longma, and disappeared quickly.

Lin Ryoma picked up the tablet, found the video, started playing it, and then handed it to Kuroba Kaito.

“Is this you?”

After seeing the video on the tablet, Kuroba Kaito suddenly realized that the entire conversation between him and Snake had been recorded by someone.

This person is too sinister!
The situation was close to a showdown at this point, and Kuroba Kaito had nothing to hide, so he said bluntly:

"Yes, it's me."

"Very good, this person is our target, and we need your assistance."

"I'm not your target?!" As soon as Lin Longma finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito was completely defeated.

No, man!
Since you don't intend to deal with me or use me, why do you frame me, trap me, and threaten me?
What is this for!
If you had told me earlier that you were going to deal with Snake, I would have obeyed! Why do you need to do so much psychological preparation?

"Of course our target is not you." The silent Shiratori finally had the chance to speak: "Capturing high-IQ criminals is the job of the Second Investigation Division.

I have no intention of stealing business from my colleagues in Investigation Section 2."

"But these people are a time bomb for stability in the Tokyo area, and I can't let them lurk in Tokyo."

"Do you know their identities?" Kuroba Kaito asked anxiously. If it was to deal with Snake, he would not only not resist, but would be very positive.

Hey, I didn’t expect that Kaito Kidd would one day cooperate with the police!
