The question of how Conan or Kudo Shinichi would die was not within Fangzheng's consideration. He just cuffed Kid the Monster Thief, dragged him out of the detective agency, and escorted him to the car.
"Wait, wait, uncle!"
Who are you calling uncle?
"Big brother!"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Only then did Fangzheng sweep his gaze at Kidd. The latter laughed in embarrassment and hurriedly pressed his palms together to beg for mercy.
"Um, I'm really not Monster Thief Kid …."
"Oh."
"I'm really not. Although I'm disguised as Kudo Shinichi, I'm actually just an ordinary high school student."
With that said, Kidd revealed a smug smile and looked at Fangzheng.
"Or do you have evidence to prove that I'm Kid?"
"No."
Fangzheng looked very calm. In fact, he really did not have any evidence because no one knew what Kid looked like. Therefore, unless he was caught red-handed at the crime scene, it was impossible to catch Kid. This was also the reason why the police had not been able to find Gid even after tracking him down for so long.
However ….
"What does this have to do with me catching you?"
"…."
Kid was stunned when he heard Fangzheng's answer.
"Big brother, aren't you a police officer? You need evidence! "
"I'm a special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, but I'm not a police officer."
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Kid. He chuckled.
"Think about it. If I knocked you out, cuffed you to the entrance of the Metropolitan Police Department, and then stuck a 'he's Monster Thief Kid' note on your body and threw it somewhere, what would happen to you?"
"…."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Kid broke out in a cold sweat.
He was not afraid that the Metropolitan Police Department would really arrest him because of the note. Just like Kid said, the police needed evidence to arrest someone. Even if Fangzheng sent him to the police station, as long as he replied that he didn't know anything and indicated that it was just a joke between classmates, the police wouldn't hold onto him. They would definitely take a statement and question him before releasing him.
But the problem was … the police would investigate.
Even if they could not find anything on the surface, they would be suspicious behind his back. Why was this high school student sent over as Monster Thief Kid? Was he related to the Strange Thief Kidd? Otherwise, why would this happen?
With such suspicion, the police might secretly send someone to follow him. Of course, if he was not Monster Thief Kid, then there was no need to worry. He just had to live his life step by step.
But the problem was that he was Monster Thief Kid.
Being monitored by the police 24 hours a day, did he want to die?!
And he could not even protest, because the police must be secretly following him. Even if he discovered them, he could not say anything. He could not even pretend to discover them. Otherwise, the police would think, 'Oh, you're just an ordinary high school student. You can even discover the police's hidden sentries. You're quite capable. You're very suspicious ….'
What was worse was that every time Monster Thief Kid went out to commit a crime, the police would definitely keep an eye on his home! At that time, if he did not appear at the same time as Monster Thief Kid, then the police would basically confirm that he was Monster Thief Kid.
Monster Thief Kid had no doubt that the police would definitely do such a thing. After all, Monster Thief Kid had never had any clues to investigate, so they could only choose the day when Monster Thief Kid went out to confront him. If they could find any clue right now, they would pursue it to the end.
When that time came, he would be done for.
This was the difference between the police and the criminal. No matter how handsome Monster Thief Kid was, no matter how legendary he was, he was still a thief, a criminal. He could succeed once, twice, a hundred or two hundred times, but as long as he failed even once, it would be the end of him.
The police could fail one or two hundred times in a row, but as long as they succeeded even once, the other party would be dead.
This was why the police naturally restrained criminals, like a cat catching a mouse.
Shi Kaobing was actually the same. Before this, no one knew whether Shi Kaobing was a man or a woman, old or young. They only knew that he was a killer who liked to snipe people's right eyes. But now that he had been caught by Fangzheng, these problems were no longer a problem. Now, Interpol all over the world knew Shi Kaobing's fingerprints, identity, nationality, name, blood type, and various other characteristics.
If Shi Kaobing committed a crime again in the future, they would not need to look for a needle in a haystack. They could just use these characteristics to compare and arrest him.
The same was true for Monster Thief Kid.
Not to mention exposing his identity, just being targeted and suspected by others was enough to make Monster Thief Kid suffer.
So for Monster Thief Kid Kid, Fangzheng's move was not fatal, but it was heart-wrenching!
"Brother Fangzheng … I haven't offended you, have I …?"
This time, Monster Thief Kid was completely terrified. Obviously, he also understood that if he did not want to live a life of being watched by the police every day from tomorrow onwards, he had to give in now.
"Do you want me to steal something? Why don't you tell me? If it doesn't violate my principles, I can help you. "
"I'm not interested."
Fangzheng waved his hand, but since the other party was so cooperative, he would just say it.
"I only have one request for you."
"Tell me, tell me …."
"You're not allowed to appear as Kudo Shinichi in the future."
"… Huh?"
Hearing this request, Monster Thief Kid was a little surprised.
"Why?"
"Because Kudo Shinichi is now involved in trouble. You don't need to know what kind of trouble it is. In short, it's the kind that will be fatal. If you wander around as him, you'll only bring more trouble, understand?"
At this point, Fangzheng glanced at Kid coldly.
This was one of the most unjustifiable logical contradictions in the Detective Conan anime. In the anime, Monster Thief Kid had appeared as Kudo Shinichi more than once or twice. Most readers thought that this was just a means to make Lan not suspect Detective Conan, but was this the problem?
Of course not.
Lan was not the problem. The problem was the Black Man organization.
In addition, Monster Thief Kid dressed up as Kudo Shinichi several times and appeared in public. As long as there was someone in the Black Man organization who was not blind, as long as they saw the relevant information, they would be suspicious. "Huh? Isn't this guy dead on the organization's list? Why is he alive again? " When the time came, they would be suspicious and then investigate again. Oh, the Kudo family did not hold a funeral for Kudo Shinichi, and there was no report of Kudo Shinichi's body being found and buried.
This was not right.
Then, if anyone gossiped about it again, they would report it to Gin. "Hey, Gin, the Kudo Shinichi that was killed on your report was still alive and kicking three days ago."
Oh, it was completely over.
So it was not a matter of disguising as Kudo Shinichi, but whether Kudo Shinichi was still alive. So what if they found out later that it was Monster Thief Kid in disguise? Everyone knew that Monster Thief Kid was not a retard. He would not pretend to be a dead man, right?
If everyone knew that a person was dead, then wouldn't he be courting death by pretending to be this person?
So why did Monster Thief Kid pretend to be the dead Kudo Shinichi?
Because there was only one truth, and that was that Kudo Shinichi was not dead!
See, the problem was solved.
"Okay, I understand. I won't appear as Kudo Shinichi anymore."
Hearing the seriousness in Fangzheng's tone, Monster Thief Kid nodded hurriedly. He was not stupid. In fact, when Monster Thief Kid found out that the high school detective had inexplicably turned into a child, he felt that there must be something wrong with it. But if it was life-threatening trouble … Well, let's not join in the fun.
Furthermore, ignoring what others might not know, Thief Gid himself knew that he looked very similar to Kudo Shinichi. According to Fangzheng's words, if someone were to mistake him for Kudo Shinichi and attack him, Thief Gid would truly die a wrongful death.
Furthermore, from Fangzheng's tone, he could tell that the group of people staring at Kudo Shinichi were clearly not good people. They probably wouldn't be as principled as the police. Perhaps they would directly appear and shoot at him, who was disguised as Kudo Shinichi. Even if they accidentally killed him, the other party probably wouldn't take it to heart.
Huh? Thinking of this, Sheyan suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage.
He and Kudo Shinichi were enemies, right? It did not seem right to sacrifice his life for the enemy!
"Big brother, you won't arrest me again in the future, right?"
"I'll let you go this time because you're sensible enough not to do anything. Next time, if I catch you red-handed, you'll die."
Fangzheng unlocked Monster Thief Kid's handcuffs and glanced at him. In the movie version, the other Egg of Memory was stolen by Monster Thief Kid from President Suzuki and he kept it with him as Officer Shiratori. But now, this egg was kept by Fangzheng. In fact, Fangzheng had been waiting for Monster Thief Kid, who was disguised as Officer Shiratori, to attack him along the way. As long as he dared to attack him, Fangzheng would immediately catch him red-handed.
However, Monster Thief Kid was quite smart. He behaved himself from the beginning to the end, not giving Fangzheng a chance to catch him at all.
"Okay, get out of here."
After Fangzheng unlocked the handcuffs, he kicked Kidd out of the car. The latter also smiled bitterly and helplessly. Then, he turned around and returned to his original form, disappearing into the park by the roadside.
"This way, one thing is solved."
Only then did Xiao Ai, who was hiding in the back seat, lie down and look at Fangzheng in front of her.
"What about Edo? What are you going to say? "
"We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow."
Fangzheng yawned and stretched.
"Let's go back to sleep today. I'm afraid it'll be a problem if Conan can get out of bed tomorrow."
