[Oh. Right. Look, it's hard to default to that still. He hasn't quite come to terms with it.
And D.I.C.E. has gotten up to quite a bit. A lot of files detail petty thefts, especially the earlier ones. Stealing food or toys from small shops that were easy targets and the like. There are files on stolen cases of cat food, various books from book stores, and everyday supplies you might need for your home too. There are also details about pranks presumably pulled by the gang from graffiti to defaced statues to disguised members toting water guns (noted to be the same ones stolen in a previous case) in winter and spraying people going about their day.
The further he goes through the files though, he'll notice a sudden change in the kind of capers they've pulled. Suddenly there are grand heists mentioned, notably from museums with the highest security. Paintings, jewels, smaller art and historical pieces. High class jewelry stores are victims too. But they read a lot more like fictional cases you might see in stories romanticizing criminals and detectives. The kind that are just impossible in real life. Not only that, but they're referred to as "phantom thieves" from time to time suddenly too. There are a much, much smaller number of these cases compared to the things they started out doing but...
How weird.
Kokichi, meanwhile, is delighted to have found the detective's desk. Even if he doesn't get to the other cabinets, his snooping will have been worth it to go through this stuff. Because really, he cares more about knowing what the detective got up to than what his uncle did. He wants to go through them thoroughly, determined to try and read every file in there. This is, after all, about his beloved Shuichi.]
