Chapter 83 I Just Want to Be Your Brother, But You Want to Be My Mom (First Order)
The Useless Police Let Kaito Kid Escape Again

"We should reflect on why Kidd, who even a security company could catch, escaped from the police many times?"

"Did the police protect Kaito Kid's many performances?"

"With the Absolute Security Company, I'm no longer afraid of Kidd stealing my gems."

"Inspector Nakamori, is he incompetent, or something else? Who is the person who protects Kidd?"

The 'Absolute Security Group' building.

"What a great opportunity this is! We must make our Absolute Security Group famous. I want the whole of Japan to hear this name!"

Tanigawa was in high spirits.

With Kidd's reputation as a springboard, compared with the incompetent police, doesn't it seem that their "Absolute Security Group" is more powerful and professional!
That guy Gin suppressed me and prevented Tanigawa from training his trusted followers in the brewery.

Then he would just raise some younger brothers outside. Sooner or later, he would lead these younger brothers to counterattack the distillery, occupy the magpie's nest, and make Gin a lonely man. Only a younger self could lead the organization to glory.

"Yes!"

The bald man stood respectfully in front of Tanigawa.

I didn't expect that he, who was only good at petty theft, could become a big boss and even act arrogant in front of the police. This feeling is so good.

"The one who took the blame should arrange his funeral. We can't let others feel disappointed."

"Yes."

After Tanigawa's efforts to smooth things over, in the end only the younger brother who took the blame was sentenced, and the 'Absolute Security Group' only had to pay a fine.

After the bald man left, Tanigawa leisurely stirred the coffee in the cup and smiled slightly at the scenery downstairs.

Xiao Ai, who was reading a magazine nearby, saw Tanigawa's cocky look and couldn't help but sneered, "You look like a big boss now."

"No, no, I'm still far from it." Tanigawa waved his hands modestly.

He is just getting started now. It is a real pleasure for him to have that cold-faced man Gin nod and bow to him and do what he wants.

"Tanigawa."

Conan was brought in by his younger brother.

"Conan, what's going on?"

"Did you see how Kaito Kid escaped that night?" Conan asked, lying on the table.

"of course."

Tanigawa sat back in his chair, put his legs on the table, and pointed his size 42 shoes at Conan.

"Kid used smoke to make everyone lose their sight, and then Kid simply changed into police clothes and blended in with them." Tanigawa said casually.

"Kid is among the police, so even if they are confused, they will know there is one more person, right?"

"Why doesn't Kidd knock someone out in advance and replace his identity?" Tanigawa continued to stir the coffee.

Conan continued: "Kid has already disguised himself as Sonoko."

"It's simple. He just needs an accomplice. When his accomplice, played by a policeman, rushed into the collection hall, he quietly left. The atmosphere was so tense that no one would notice." Tanigawa took a sip of coffee.

Conan thought about it and, out of his persistence in seeking the truth, he decided to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask if there were any policemen who were knocked unconscious by Kid and were hiding yesterday.

Before leaving, Conan asked, "Since you already know how Kid escaped, why don't you expose him to the police?"

"Why should I expose Kidd and catch him?" Tanigawa asked.

This question choked Conan. Isn't it normal to catch a thief? Why?
"After catching Kidd, Officer Nakamori will be rewarded and possibly promoted. As an outsider like me, the most I can get is a pennant or a tiny bonus."

"But Kidd ran away. He escaped from the police after being caught by us. Both Kidd and the police have become stepping stones for our security group. We have truly won this time." Tanigawa said proudly.

Moreover, Kidd who is active outside is more useful. His security group can rely on Kidd for support.

"You're so selfish!"

Conan looked angry and turned to leave.

"Wait, this is for you." Tanigawa threw a ball of paper to Conan. Conan went downstairs and opened the ball of paper that Tanigawa threw to him. On it were ten names of people that Tanigawa had 'investigated' and were related to the organization.

Conan's eyes were a little moist, and he regretted the argument he had just had with Tanigawa.

No matter how Tanigawa treats other people, there is nothing to say about him. Tanigawa treats other people like that because he has lived in an indifferent environment since he was a child, and is wary and indifferent to other people.

Once you become friends with Tanigawa, you will be moved by his enthusiasm.

"I'm going to apologize to Tanigawa, right now!"

After Conan left, Tanigawa kept staring at Ai, which made Ai a little nervous.

"Do I have anything on me?"

"Why don't you praise me?" Tanigawa said.

Xiao Ai:?
Xiao Ai blinked her eyes and asked, "What did I praise you for?"

"Praise me for being smart! So many policemen and Conan, the former famous detective, didn't figure out how Kid escaped, and I was the only one who saw through everything. Shouldn't you praise me? At least say something like 'Brother is awesome' or 'I admire you the most'."

Tanigawa's expression was artificial and Ai looked disgusted.

"Are you disgusting? You're just a kid and you want me to praise you."

Xiao Ai continued to bury her head in the magazine and ignored Tanigawa's unreasonable behavior.

"You have to learn to praise your baby. Whenever there is an opportunity to praise him, you should praise him. However, when praising, there must be certain methods..."

The more Tanigawa spoke, the more Ai felt something was wrong.

She closed the magazine and looked at Tanigawa with embarrassment.

"Did you hear it? Did you hear that this is the content of your book '0-3 Years Old Parenting Classics'?" Tanigawa looked at Ai with a half-smile, and then continued:
"Whether it's playing with ducklings or chickens in the bath, Ai is really good and can apply what she has learned. Tanigawa, do you want spinach or lettuce for dinner?"

Faced with Tanigawa's sarcastic tone, Ai was a little ashamed to raise her head.

"Do you think of me as your son? Or the kind of son whose mental age is less than three years old?" Tanigawa was so angry that he laughed.

I had long felt that Ai's attitude towards me had changed, but I didn't expect her change to be so complete and outrageous.

Xiao Ai didn't say anything, she really didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, when I got your identity card, I only filled in that we were brother and sister, not father and daughter. But what about you? You actually want to be my mother!"

"I didn't." Xiao Ai retorted in a low voice.

"That book was given to me by Ayumi, and I haven't really read it."

"You haven't seen it, have you?"

Tanigawa took out the book from the drawer and opened a page at random.

"Look, look, there are your notes on it. How seriously did you read it?" The handwriting on it betrayed Ai, leaving her with no way to refute.

"Why are you touching my books?" Xiao Ai, knowing she was in the wrong, started to make a scene with a red face.

Xiao Ai herself didn't know what was wrong with her, and she even used some unreasonable tricks.

"Is it possible that you forgot to take the book back to your bedroom when you were reading in the living room?" Tanigawa felt a little funny.

Xiao Ai became angry and embarrassed.

Tanigawa continued to tease Ai. He had finally seized this opportunity and had already prepared a lot of unequal contracts for Ai to sign.

For example, 'Call him brother gently when he wakes him up in the morning', 'There are so many beautiful clothes at home that they can't be wasted, let Xiao Ai try on a few of them', 'Massage him with your little hands before he goes to bed', etc.

"Tanigawa, I'm back again!"

Ai turned her head and looked at Conan. She had never wanted to see this stupid detective come to find Tanigawa as much as she did now.

Tanigawa also turned his head away. It was the first time he didn't want to see Conan so much.

"Lock Conan outside and don't let him in."
