Chapter Twenty-Eight: Toshio Utsumi
Zero handed the Egg of Memories to Aichi and asked him to return it to Chairman Suzuki, and at the same time said to Heiji, "If you want to call me the thief Kidd, you will trouble Detective Hattori to find more conclusive evidence of the crime." Besides, Kidd and I had a confrontation at the Babel Pavilion before, and there were a lot of witnesses, so you can go and investigate and you'll know that I'm not Kidd. β
Conan and the others left, apparently going to the Tsutenkaku to investigate whether what they said was true.
And after Conan and the others left, Zero dialed the mobile phone number of the man who had borrowed his bicycle before.
"Hey, who is it?" The man's voice came from the phone.
"Hello, I'm Kaneda Ichiko, the same person who asked you to borrow a bicycle earlier."
"Oh, that's you...... Miss Kanedaichi yes, hello, my name is Toshio Utsumi. β
Toshio Utsumi? How does this name sound familiar......
Then Zero suddenly remembered that Toshio Utsumi was not the male protagonist of "The Three Sisters of Cat's Eye"!
I didn't expect to find a man on the side of the road to borrow a bicycle, and I could meet a celebrity.
But if I'm not mistaken, Toshio Utsumi should be affiliated with the Inunaki Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, how did he appear in Osaka?
It's useless to think about it, maybe it's just the same name and surname?
"Hey, Miss Kanedaichi, are you listening?"
"Oh, listening, Mr. Utsumi, isn't it...... Where are you now? I'll come and return the car. β
"I'm at the Osaka Police Station right now, would you come over now?"
Osaka Police Station...... Regardless of whether the other party is the Toshio Utsumi he knows, but he is indeed a policeman.
"Well, I'll return the car now."
Zero walked over to the bicycle and was about to leave when Kidd's pigeon suddenly "cooed" and flew onto Zero's shoulder.
Zero wondered if this pigeon would stick to itself. She pointed to the sky, and regardless of whether the pigeon could understand or not, she said, "Go, find your master." β
Kidd shouldn't have gone too far at this point, and the pigeons should still be able to catch up.
However, the pigeon did not react at all to Zero's words, and only barked at Zero affectionately twice.
No, I can only take it with me.

Zero rode to the Osaka Police Station, where Toshio Utsumi was already waiting outside the police station gate.
Driving in front of Toshio, Zero got off the bike and took a look at Toshio's appearance.
When they first met, Zero didn't pay much attention to the other party's appearance, but now that he takes a closer look, he is indeed quite similar to the Toshio Utsumi in his impression.
Toshio Utsumi was also a little surprised at this time, how could this beauty have an extra pigeon on her shoulder?
Zero looked at the other party's stat value.
Toshio Utsumi β Force: A, Intelligence: B, Intimacy: E+.
Seeing this evaluation, combined with his appearance, Zero can basically determine that the other party is the Toshio Utsumi he knows.
If you have only watched the animated version of "The Three Sisters of Cat's Eye", then your impression of Toshio Utsumi may be just a very ordinary criminal policeman. But in the comics of "The Three Sisters of Cat's Eye", Toshio is not only capable, but also a handsome guy who is very popular with women.
Toshio was interested in martial arts, so he learned karate, taekwondo, and boxing in high school. Although I haven't been able to learn very much, it's not miscellaneous and not proficient, and each martial art has a certain degree of attainment, and my skills can be said to be quite good. And his shooting skills are also top-notch, but he doesn't like guns very much.
Once, Toshio entered a girls' school for work reasons, and as a result, all the girls in the school were fascinated by Toshio, and his attraction to women can be seen.
In the animation, only the next life of the three sisters likes Toshio, and the eldest sister will cry and the younger sister will love the most in the next life, that is, there will be some slightly ambiguous plots with Toshio. However, in the manga, all three sisters like Toshio.
In the manga plot, Toshio's home was burned down due to a fire, so he lived with the three sisters in the Cat's Eye Cafe, during which the three of them pursued Toshio in various ways. Xiao Hitomi won't talk about it, the eldest sister not only helped Toshio wipe his back when he took a bath, but even gave him her first kiss (which was also Toshio's first kiss). And the third sister Xiaoai often secretly climbs into Toshio's bed at night and sleeps with Toshio.
Despite this, Toshio is still devoted to Hitomi (Toshio is the passive one when he is rubbed and kissed by the eldest sister, and every time he finds that Xiaoai climbs into bed, Toshio will sleep directly on the floor).
In the anime, in order to highlight the character creation of the three sisters, Toshio's plot can be said to have been drastically cut, so that he looks like an ordinary police officer.
"Miss Kanedaichi, are you alright?" Toshio looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and couldn't help but wonder if the other party had taken a fancy to him. Although this is also a good thing, but I already have a small pupil, and it is impossible to accept other women.
"It's okay...... By the way, Mr. Utsumi, are you a police officer? But you shouldn't be from Osaka, and you don't speak with a Kansai accent. β
"Haha, as for not being from Osaka, Miss Kanedaichi must be the same. Is Kazumi Kaneda visiting Osaka? But tonight's city-wide power outage must be enough. Toshio Utsumi said with a smile, "Having said that, I'm indeed a criminal policeman, but I'm a criminal police officer in Tokyo, and this time I'm seconded to Osaka for a few days to deal with the strange thief Kidd." β
"Dealing with Kidd the Thief?" Zero was a little surprised, how could Toshio Utsumi get involved with the strange thief Kidd again.
"You should know about the strange thief 'Cat's Eye'...... I'll tell you the truth, when I was in Tokyo, I had many fights with Maoyan, so this time when the thief Kidd appeared, my boss thought I had experience in dealing with other thieves, so he asked me to come to Osaka to help arrest him. But the Nakamori Silver Third Police Department didn't like me very much, and after I arrived at the big version, he directly asked me to make a cold bench, so I naturally didn't have a chance to play. When the power went out in the city, I had a hunch that Kidd might be there, so I asked my colleague at the Osaka Office to borrow a bicycle to see if I could do anything about it. But at the end of the day, I didn't have any clues, so I could only wander around the streets like a fly without a head, and at this time, I met Miss Kanedaichi and asked me to borrow a car. I don't think I'll be able to contribute much to the capture of Kidd, so I'll lend you the car. β
Toshio seems to be very dissatisfied with the Nakamori Police Department's snubbing of him, and his tone is also very unhappy when he mentions the Nakamori Police Department, but he says such a big thing, which also makes Zero understand the reason why he appeared in Osaka.
After Toshio finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Kidd the thief was rumored to be very fond of pigeons, and often used a bunch of pigeons to hide his figure. This beauty suddenly has an extra pigeon on her shoulder, is it possible......
It's impossible, how can such a beauty be Kidd, I'm definitely thinking too much. This beauty may be a magician, which is why she has a pigeon on her shoulder.
"Thank you so much this time...... When I return to Tokyo, I invite you to dinner? Zero said to Toshio.
Although Toshio Utsumi is very attractive to other women, of course it is impossible for Zero to fall in love with each other, and it is not interesting to invite him to dinner, it is nothing more than to receive the favor of borrowing a car and reciprocating.
Toshio looked a little nervous, and hurriedly excused himself: "There's no need to eat, by the way, if you have time, go to the Cat's Eye Cafe and sit down, although the name of the cafΓ© has the same name as the strange thief Cat's Eye, but there is nothing to do with the two." The coffee there is still very good at ......"
Zero wrote down the address, but he was in his heart. Is cat's eye cafΓ© and cat's eye okay? It's a big deal, okay?
Although the business of Maoyan Cafe is okay, it is not hot, and Toshio, as Hitomi's boyfriend, naturally still has to help pull customers.
"Okay, I'll visit when I have time." Zero didn't fool Toshio, she herself was also very interested in the three cat's eye sisters.

As the night wore on, the Suzuki Group found a high-end hotel near the art museum and arranged a few rooms for a group of guests from Tokyo to stay and prepare to take a boat back to Tokyo the next day.
Naturally, Zero received a text message from the garden asking her to stay in the hotel, so she followed the address on the text message to the hotel. Zero is holding a packed snack in her right hand, and Kidd's pigeon is parked on her left shoulder, which is really a bit weird, and coupled with her original beauty, she attracts a lot of attention as soon as she enters the hotel.
Conan, Ichi and Heiji were sitting around a table in the lobby of the hotel discussing the case, and the discussion was very enthusiastic, but they didn't notice Zero entering.
At this time, the three of them had already found out about the battle between Zero and Kidd in the Tsutenkaku, and it stands to reason that Zero's suspicion should be cleared, but Heiji still insisted on his own reasoning.
"Even if Kaneda Zeroko is not the thief Kidd, then he must be Kidd's accomplice, otherwise, there is no way to explain the fact that she suddenly let Kidd go."
"But if that's the case, why do you have to fight like this in one fell swoop?" Conan wasn't so suspicious of Zero at this time, "As for her letting Kidd go, maybe it's not a complicated reason, maybe it's just because she suddenly broke her foot?" β
Zero, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, Conan, why are you so talented. My sister was on her feet at the time, yes, that's it.
Ah Yi didn't express an opinion on this, it was about his cousin, no matter what he said, it was better to avoid suspicion and keep silent.
Pingji still insisted on his opinion: "But ......"
"But what is it?" Zero appeared directly and interrupted Heiji's words.
Pingji was startled, his body instinctively shrunk, and he said to Zero: "You, don't mess around!" This is the lobby of the hotel, and people come and go, if you dare to hit me, there will definitely be more witnesses, and the impact on your Miss Zero will not be good at that time. β
While talking, Pingji glanced at the pigeon on Zero's shoulder, and brought the pigeon back directly, and dare to say that you are fine?
Zero was also helpless, and after leaving the Osaka Police Station, she tried several times to release the pigeon back to Kidd, but each time the pigeon flew in the air and then stopped on her shoulder. What can I do myself, bake it and eat it?
Zero walked up to Heiji, shook the other party's hand with a smile, and said close to the other party, "You also know that there are people coming and going in the lobby, what do you think will happen if I shout indecent now?" β
When Hattori heard this, cold sweat flowed from his face, and he could only whisper: "Miss Zero, Lord Zero...... Please also hold your hand high. β
This scene really made Conan dumbfounded, shouldn't Kaneda Ichiko be the image of a gentle big sister? He was already shocked by the violent beating of Hattori Heiji before, and now he is still making such a threat, is this character changing too quickly?
Zero snorted and let go of Heiji. Pingji was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say anything more. It's okay to be beaten up, but if you really get a reputation for indecency, then you're really finished. Especially if you let your dad know that he has insulted other girls, it is not impossible to be beaten to death.
