Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

Chapter 835 Kaito Kuroba: I feel like that policeman is weird.

All I can say is that Lin Chia-yu is indeed very lucky...............................

Matsumoto Kiyonaga had always worked as a police officer in the First Investigation Division, and there was actually very little overlap between the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division.

Furthermore, Matsumoto Kiyonaga had already served as an administrative officer for over a decade, further reducing his opportunities to interact with these lower-ranking police officers...

Although he was transferred to the Second Investigation Division, he didn't actually get much involvement in the cases there.

the reason is simple--

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's arrival at the Second Investigation Division clearly indicates he's been demoted...

It's inappropriate to continue involving him in the Second Investigations Division's cases, both due to public opinion and his own emotional state...

This resulted in Matsumoto Kiyonaga not having a close relationship with the officers of the Second Investigation Division, and no one really knew what kind of person he was...

At this moment, Lin Jiayou left them with their first impression of this newly transferred Matsumoto manager...

At this moment, not only Nakamori Ginzo, but also other ordinary police officers had begun to spontaneously express their respect for Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

"Manager Matsumoto truly lives up to his reputation as an elite member of the First Investigation Division; his observational skills are simply amazing..."

"Yes, with Manager Matsumoto leading the way, we'll definitely be able to catch Phantom Thief Kid..."

"We are so lucky to have Manager Matsumoto come to our side..."

Everyone chimed in with their own comment, and it was hard to tell whether they were genuinely expressing their thoughts or just flattering each other...

Perhaps, it's half and half...

Some people were genuinely sincere, while others saw everyone else saying it and worried that if they didn't, their superiors would remember them, so they joined in.

However, there were one or two sentences that sounded rather unpleasant to the ear............................

Nakamori Ginzo heard half of it, then turned around and glared at the guy who said, "It's lucky that Manager Matsumoto came..."

Can't you speak properly, kid?

The manager, Matsumoto, was formerly the head of the First Investigation Division; he was demoted and sent here as punishment!

You say it's our good fortune, but Matsumoto's manager certainly doesn't see it as good fortune...

"Go away, what are you saying!"

Nakamori Ginzo quickly spoke up, afraid of giving his new boss a bad impression, and said...

"Manager Matsumoto's arrival here was simply due to bad luck..."

"Today, whether for our years of hard work or for Manager Matsumoto, we must capture Phantom Thief Kid............................."

"Catch Phantom Thief Kid!"

Everyone shouted again, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Lin Jiayou, disguised as Matsumoto Kiyonaga, couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated upon hearing these words...

These Metropolitan Police Department officers are quite cunning too.

"OK OK,"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga waved his hand dismissively, saying...

"If these are unnecessary, let's save our attention and focus on the important things..."

Let's move on to the next location...

"Since Phantom Thief Kid left a trap here, it means this is one of the escape routes he's been eyeing..."

"Since it's an escape route, there couldn't possibly be only one mechanism left behind..."

"We'll find them. I can't guarantee what will happen elsewhere, but at least here, we need to make sure everything is foolproof..."

"Absolutely, absolutely we cannot let Phantom Thief Kid escape from here............................."

"Otherwise, I will really get angry.............................."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga's expression turned serious.

His scarred face, under such a serious expression, appeared even more ferocious............................

Seeing their superior so serious, the surrounding police officers couldn't help but lower their own faces as well...

The group continued searching the vicinity, attempting to find other mechanisms left behind by Phantom Thief Kid...............................

Their superiors had just arrived and were already so helpful; they, the police officers focused on capturing Phantom Thief Kid, couldn't afford to lag behind...

Otherwise, wouldn't it make them seem rather useless...?

And so, the Metropolitan Police Department officers began a comprehensive search of the area........................

This area is located within the airship's internal structure, so no tourists ever come here, resulting in a very empty surrounding area. Apart from the Metropolitan Police Department officers, there's nobody else around.

In the silence, a policeman's shout could be heard every now and then—

"Manager Matsumoto, I think I've found a key!"

"I also found one......................."

"Me too........................."

I don't know why, but under Matsumoto Kiyonaga's leadership, everyone's enthusiasm is higher than ever before...

Places that would otherwise go unnoticed are gradually being discovered by everyone............................

Perhaps this is the meaning of "a cowardly soldier is a coward, but a cowardly general leads to a cowardly army."

Um, that's not quite right either........................

It should be said that the importance of a good leader and a good role model...

Previously, when they followed Nakamori Ginzo, they didn't have this kind of observational ability...........................

As Nakamori Ginzo watched his old subordinates betray him one after another, he was at a loss for words.

He wasn't unhappy at all; on the contrary, he was quite happy about it.

However, Nakamori Ginzo began to doubt his own abilities again...........................

Okay, actually there's no need to doubt him too much; he knows what he's doing...

Nakamori Ginzo shook his head inwardly, deciding not to think about it any further.

Just as everyone continued their search, Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke up, saying something to Nakamori Ginzo beside him.

"Nakamori, that's enough..."

"We've been searching this area for far too long, and we don't even know when Phantom Thief Kid will arrive. We can't waste this much time..."

"Yes,"

Nakamori Ginzo nodded, agreeing with Matsumoto Kiyonaga's assessment.

"So, what does Manager Matsumoto mean...?"

"In three minutes, we'll finish searching this area and then start dividing into groups..."

"We need to save some time in the other areas..."

"At that time, you'll be with one of the groups..."

Lin Jiayou, disguised as Matsumoto Kiyonaga, briefly explained something to Nakamori Ginzo.......................

In short, the officers were divided into several groups, A, B, C, and D, with Nakamori Ginzo and Matsumoto Kiyonaga acting as the two leaders, responsible for coordinating personnel deployment.

If any problems arise in the various groups, they can go directly there...

Shortly after completing the search of this area, the officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division began to operate in groups...

.............................................

While Lin Jiayou, disguised as Matsumoto Kiyona, was conducting a thorough search with the police.....................

On the other side, Kaito Kuroba, who had already disguised himself as a waiter and infiltrated the airship, ready to act at any moment, was now facing a dilemma...

According to the original plan, I should be heading to the Sky Observation Deck now, to examine my target – the 'Lady of the Sky' gem........................

but.........................

Kaito Kuroba frowned slightly, a strange feeling flashing through his mind...

Why did he always feel that the tall, strong policeman he'd seen from afar, but whom he was meeting for the first time, looked a little strange...?

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange, he just felt something was off...

Perhaps this is... one's own sixth sense?

Kaito Kuroba silently pondered whether he should proceed with the original plan to examine the gem, or...

Follow your instincts and go meet that new police officer beforehand...
