Chapter 218 The Legend of the Phantom Thief (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"Kidd first appeared 18 years ago."

In the spacious restaurant, Sakaki's voice echoed softly:

"He specializes in stealing high-priced art and jewelry, and has committed crimes in 14 countries, including Japan."

"The number of cases is as high as 130, and the number of stolen items exceeds 150, with a total value of approximately 40 billion yen."

"Before committing a crime, he would definitely send a warning letter to the other party. He would wear a white dress, a monocle on his right eye, the cloak behind him could turn into a hang glider, and possess many props such as a poker pistol, smoke bombs, etc. He boasted that magician."

Suzuki Shiro kept nodding:

"Yes, this is indeed Kaitou Kid's style."

"Where is the strange thing Mr. Sakaki said?"

After taking a sip from the water glass on the table, Sakaki took out a document:

"Eight years ago, the thief Kidd, who was rampant for a while, suddenly disappeared without a trace."

"No matter how the police from various countries investigate, they can't find any trace of him, and they think he has given up the job."

"As a result, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, Kaito Kidd, who had disappeared for eight years, reappeared and started committing crimes again, but"

Eyes narrowed, the file was thrown on the table.

Even the old butler who was listening stretched his neck. Under the nervous eyes of Suzuki Shirou and others, Sakaki Makoto stood up.

He grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while muttering:

"Huh?"

“Tastes good”

Everyone was stunned!

Brother, can you speak without breathing heavily?

You can die if you say it all in one breath!

Suzuki Shiro's cheeks twitched, he raised his chin to the butler and ordered:

"Hurry and ask the chef to serve Mr. Sakaki Makoto."

"Mr. Sakaki, please hurry up and tell me, but what?"

After swallowing the bread, Sakaki continued:

"Since his comeback, the locations where he committed crimes have basically been in Japan!"

"Where did he go during the eight years he disappeared?"

"You can't come back just because you have no money to spend and you are forced to make a living!"

Spreading his hands, Sakaki said in confusion:

"But if he was short of money, why would he give back what he stole?"

Looking at his wife, Suzuki Shiro's face gradually became serious:

"Could it be."

"He was so busy after retirement that he decided to come back?"

Depend on!

Sakaki rolled his eyes.

This is simply the most impossible possibility.

Any person in the Jianghu will not come back to the Jianghu after washing their hands in the golden basin, unless...

Everything happens for a reason.

Since Kaitou Kidd has disappeared for eight full years, Sakaki Cheng can definitely guess that he washed his hands of gold.

As for why he came back after eight years.

It can be speculated from two general directions.

"Is this Kaitou Kidd who appeared eight years later an imposter, or is he himself?"

Just like an underground party holding a private meeting, Sakaki waved and asked all four members of the Suzuki family to come over and whisper:

"That raises two possibilities."

"1. If Kaitou Kidd is himself, then why did he give up his previous way of traveling around the world to commit crimes and stick to Japan?"

"Second, if the current Kaitou Kidd is not himself, then what is the other party's purpose?"

"With such superb stealing skills, you can start a new business, why should you replace someone else's name?"

The Suzuki family looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

"oops!"

The most impatient Suzuki Sonoko shouted:

"Mr. Sakaki, please stop showing off!"

"What is the purpose of Kaitou Kidd returning to the world?"

With the corners of his mouth raised, Sakaki sneered. Under the expectant eyes of everyone with their Adam's apples squirming, he leaned back and shrugged:

"I don't know either."

Several eyes that could kill were shot over instantly.

have no idea.

I don’t know why you are so ridiculous? !

We thought you solved the case!

What a waste of feelings!

"Well"

Seeing the four people looking at him with disdain, Sakaki said depressedly:

"I just want to express my conclusion."

"After all, I haven't even seen what the person looks like, and I'm not the roundworm in his belly."

"But I do have two unconfirmed conjectures."

Adhering to the principle of breaking the pot and getting to the bottom of the matter, Suzuki Shiro asked:

"What guess?"

"What does this act of stealing something and then returning it remind you of Mr. Suzuki?"

Without giving a direct answer, Sakaki asked instead.

Don't want something stolen

Suzuki Shiro thought for a while:

"Is it because you don't like it?"

Snap!

Sakaki snapped his fingers:

"That's right!"

"If Kaito Kidd committed the crime not out of interest and because he thought it was fun to play tricks on the police."

"Then his behavior of stealing something and then returning it can only be explained by saying that he stole something wrong, or that he didn't like it."

Just like online shopping, the pictures you often see are well-edited and the introduction is very good. You will place an order only if you think it is useful.

But what if after you get it, you find that the real thing is seriously different from the picture?

The vast majority of people will choose to return the product.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Kaito Kidd is purely interested in stealing as a matter of fun.

But if it's just for fun.

Why did he disappear for eight whole years?

Pulling out a map of Japan covered with red lines from the file, Sakaki took it out in his arms, took out a pen, pressed the map with one hand, bit open the cap of the pen with his mouth, and said:

"This map shows the crime locations where Kaito Kid has committed crimes in recent months."

"Among the dozen or so cases that have occurred across the country, there have been as many as 9 cases of jewelry theft and only 3 cases of artwork theft."

"From this we can see that Kaito Kid's main purpose is gems, and the stolen gems all have one characteristic!"

Sakaki Makoto's words successfully aroused the interest of the Suzuki family, and they came up again and listened curiously.

Touching the map with the tip of the pen, Sakaki Makoto licked his lips and swept his eyes across the faces of the four people:

"They all have a legend."

"Legend?"

The Suzuki family immediately shouted:

"Can this be called a common point?!"

"Just like famous paintings have authors, all precious gems will have corresponding legends!"

"No, no, no"

Sakaki Makoto shook his head:

"Legends are not rare. Kaito Kid's real purpose is the special power that gems carry in the legend!"

"For example, the dark star of your Suzuki family, this gem is said to bring good luck, right? ? "

Suzuki Shiro nodded:

"Of course, since my grandfather got the Dark Star, our Suzuki family's fortune has become prosperous."

"In other words, the Dark Star is the patron saint of the Suzuki family!"

"That's right."

Sakaki Cheng took out a few colored document papers and placed them on the table in order:

"Please look, everyone."

"The stolen gems include swan blood that is said to cure diseases, siren tears that bring wealth, and Satan's eye that represents misfortune."

Sakaki Cheng raised his head and smiled slightly:

"Is all this just a coincidence?"
