And just then...

A strange piece of news was broadcast on Lin Xin's TV:

"Today is Friday, and there is only one short day left until the time set in the Kaitou Kid's notice."

"When the Nakamori Police Department of Section [-] of the search was interviewed by a reporter from this station in the morning, on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, he expressed his position to the society and the public that this time Kidd will be arrested and brought to justice."

Having said that, after a short talk, the host of the show also read out the notification letter left by the guy called "Phantom Thief Kidd" to the police:

"The night of the earth with the full moon (Saturday night)."

"I will be accompanied by the zero o'clock bell, and I will come to receive the towering bell from Your Excellency's arms."

"Phantom Thief Kidd, join us."

Lin Xinyi: "???"

He was stunned for a while before finally confirming that he was watching serious noon news, not some spoof entertainment.

"Who is Kaitou Kidd..."

"Stealing things and notifying the police in advance? So arrogant?"

Lin Xinyi was a little surprised and complained about this news that could never appear in reality.

Every time he felt that the world seemed a little normal, there would always appear this kind of immortal that shattered his worldview.

"Oh... so his name is Kaito Kid."

Kudo Shinichi suddenly thought of something:

"The Mumu Police Department mentioned to me before that I will go to help the Second Section of the Search Division to catch a tricky thief tomorrow night."

"I haven't bothered to ask his name... After all, it's just a theft, not a murder."

"Just drop by after school tomorrow."

Tomorrow is Saturday, when Kidd the phantom thief predicted that he would commit the crime.

Many high schools in Japan do not have weekends, and they have classes on Saturdays.

And listening to Kudo's meaning, he doesn't seem to know much about this phantom thief Kid, so he doesn't seem to take it too seriously.

He doesn't even plan to skip tomorrow's class, that is, he just catches the thief "smoothly" after school.

For Kudo Shinichi, catching a thief on Saturday night is far less important than Sunday's date with Xiaolan at Dorobica Paradise.

At this time, I heard the understated conversation between Lin Xinyi and Kudo...

Suzuki Sono jumped out at once:

"What...haven't you even heard the name of Lord Kidd?"

Just like finding out that millions of people have been diagnosed in a certain country and still don't know how to wear a mask when going out, Sonoko Suzuki's face was full of shock.

"Forehead?"

Lin Xinyi, Kudo, and Mao Lilan cast suspicious glances at the same time:

"This phantom thief Kid... is he famous?"

Only Kyogoku really behaved slightly differently.

He keenly captured what Suzuki Sonoko called the thief:

"Kid... 'Sir'?"

The same as the name for Lin Xinyi, even the tone is more enthusiastic.

Silently, Jing Jizhen's face darkened even more:

"Who is this?!"

"Don't you know Lord Kidd?!"

Suzuki Sonoko was shocked at first, and then said excitedly:

"Lord Kidd is the favorite male god of young girls now!"

"Huh?" Lin Xinyi became more and more surprised:

"A thief who steals things can also be a popular idol, what kind of social atmosphere is this?"

"Because Kidd-sama is not an ordinary thief!"

When he said this, Suzuki Sonoko's face was full of yearning and longing:

"He was personable, unrestrained and elegant, graceful, scheming, and intelligent. He was a world-famous jewel thief and a true legend."

"No one knows what he looks like, but I think he must be a handsome guy!"

"Like Harrison Ford, or John Lennon... Maybe Brad Pitt!"

Lin Xinyi: "..."

He always felt that Suzuki Sonoko was describing the thief Chu Liuxiang.

"But no matter how handsome he looks, he's still a thief..."

Lin Xinyi's three views can't accept this kind of worship of criminals:

"You can't ignore the harm he causes to society just because he looks good!"

"That's right!"

Jing Jizhen suddenly echoed Lin Xinyi's words.

At this moment, not only did the vague hostility towards Lin Xinyi disappear in his eyes, but he also gave birth to an understanding that seemed to be a common enemy.

"Girls should know how to respect and love themselves."

"How can you like this kind of rogue thief?"

Saying that, Jing Jizhen gently straightened the glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses quietly became sharp:

"A thief is a thief."

"To seduce young women like this should go to jail."

"What do you say!"

Hearing that idols were so belittled, Suzuki Sonoko was immediately excited:

"Master Kidd is not the kind of third-rate thief who will endanger society!"

"Every time he steals something, he will issue a notification letter in advance. After breaking through the layers of defense of the police, he will return the stolen things to the original owner afterwards."

"This is the legendary, maverick gentleman thief."

The more she talked, the more devoted she became, and even her expression seemed to be a little springy.

"Uh..." Lin Xinyi realized later that Miss Suzuki's name for the phantom thief Kidd was the same as when she called herself, an enthusiastic "adult".

How should I put it... It's like being hinted by the leader that he is doing a good job at work and that he has hope of being promoted to fill the vacancy, but he turned his head and found that he also painted this big cake for other colleagues...

This feeling is really indescribable.

Thinking of this, Lin Xinyi's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Cough cough... Garden?"

Mao Lilan noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, so she wanted to speak out to stop her best friend from continuing to be a nympho.

Speaking of which, Suzuki Sonoko has always been so active but still remains single, not just because she has been dealing with nasty people and scumbags.

Another very important reason is that her nympho temperament can't always be changed.

Just think about it... My girlfriend is always attracted to other handsome guys. How many boys can stand this?

Therefore, even if they happen to meet one or two reliable men, they will definitely be scared away by Miss Suzuki's character.

"Don't make the same mistakes again... Sonoko."

Mao Lilan reluctantly worries about her best friend's life-long affairs.

But Suzuki Sonoko obviously didn't understand Xiaolan's meaning, she still defended her idol with a devoted face: "Lord Kidd did not cause any harm to society at all."

"He's a magician, an artist, not the kind of thief who steals for money."

"Forehead…"

Lin Xinyi has some different opinions on this:

Return the stolen items in their original form, even if there is no social harm?

This is clearly a waste of social public resources!

The police force in a city is often very limited. If too many police resources are spent on a certain case, other cases will naturally not be taken care of.

If this strange thief Kidd has a large-scale performance from time to time, every time he has to force dozens or hundreds of police officers to spend several days preparing to catch the thief...

Is there really enough police force to be responsible for so many crimes happening every day in this mega city?

The most direct impact of the lack of police force is that the police will appropriately raise the standard of case acceptance according to the actual situation, and will not file a case for a case involving a small amount of money...

In the end, the victims of petty theft have nowhere to turn for help, and it is the common people who are unlucky.

"Kyoji is right... A thief is a thief."

As a former law enforcement officer, Lin Xinyi completely disagreed with Suzuki Sonoko's statement.

However, he would not refute it.

Because it's no use arguing with fanatical fans who are addicted to chasing stars... just keep your opinions and seek common ground while reserving differences.

And Lin Xinyi didn't speak or make a sound, and his expression wasn't too concerned.

But Jing Jizhen on the side had a gloomy expression, and there seemed to be a murderous aura hidden under his calm eyes.

He clenched his fists quietly, not knowing what to think, suddenly turned his head and asked Kudo Shinichi:

"Kudou-san, you just said that the Metropolitan Police Department invited you to help arrest Kidd the phantom thief tomorrow night?"
