Finally, Officer Nakamori did not resign.
Not because he caught Phantom Thief Kid, but because... that night Phantom Thief Kid didn't show up at all.
That's right, they wasted an entire evening, and Phantom Thief Kid vanished without a trace.
This left Nakamori and the others puzzled; they couldn't figure out why the usually punctual thief didn't show up this time. Maybe he learned the bad habit of being a no-show?
Only Fang Zheng knew that Phantom Thief Kid wasn't absent; he came but couldn't show up. After all, the belt stir-fried meat left him incapacitated, unable to get out of bed for three to five days. Unless Phantom Thief Kid planned to appear limping in front of everyone, he'd better not show up at all, and just say that Officer Nakamori and Kogoro Mouri misinterpreted the code.
