I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

Chapter 100: The Movie - Top Criminal: Phantom Thief Kid
Pu Siqinglan.

A professional assassin who appears in the theatrical film "The Magician of the End of the Century".

Her target was the Romanov dynasty's royal treasure, the Memory Egg, which was on display at the Suzuki family's residence. Prior to this, Pu Siqinglan had been searching all over the world for any treasures related to the Romanov dynasty.

Therefore, Pu Siqinglan is an internationally wanted thief with a unique title.

Shi Kaobing.

He is a boss-level character in the theatrical version, just like Teiji Moriya.

Logically speaking, Pu Siqinglan should be worth at least 150 points, right?

Actually, that's not the case. Chen En deduced that the security mission on Pu Siqinglan was probably only of medium difficulty. In the movie "The Magician at the End of the Century", there was someone else who could reach the high level of security mission difficulty.

— Chen En decided to try and see if he could get the gold coins from this "other person".

If that doesn't work, we'll investigate Pu Siqinglan's location later.

Let's see if we can find and kill this notorious international thief today, so that we don't run out of points when dealing with the Eight-Eyed Spider Illusionist tomorrow. This is Chen En's backup plan.

------

In the afternoon, at Kaito Kid's secret base.

Kaito Kuroba sat on the sofa.

He leaned back, looking at the uninvited guest with an expression that seemed to say, "What are you trying to do?"

A salted fish was only three centimeters away from his throat.

"Kaito Kuroba, I have something to tell you."

Holding the imperial sword, Chen En spoke calmly and appeared extremely serious.

He asked,
"The Romanov dynasty's royal treasure, the Memory Egg, will soon be exhibited at the Suzuki Foundation Museum of Art in Tokyo."

What are your thoughts on this?

Kuroba Kaito:?
No, you put a salted fish to my neck just for this?

What kind of Easter egg is this? What are you talking about?
Kaito Kuroba stared at the salted fish in Chen En's hand with a look of utter displeasure.

he said,
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

—The other person Chen En mentioned earlier is Kaito Kid.

Because, in the movie, Kaito Kid steals the Romanov dynasty's royal treasure, the Memory Egg.

He chose to directly blow up the substation in Osaka Prefecture.

This resulted in a large-scale power outage throughout Osaka Prefecture.

It is estimated that the number of people killed in this operation alone is more than the total number of people killed by the Black Organization since its inception. No joke, this is almost a terrorist attack.

Previously, Teiji Moriya's plan to blow up several landmark buildings in Beika Town seemed relatively harmless.

If Moriya Teiji's actions can be considered a high-difficulty security mission.

Therefore, Kaito Kid's act of blowing up the Osaka Prefecture substation in "The Last Magician of the Century" can definitely be considered a high-difficulty security mission.

Sonoko Suzuki says the exhibition of the "memory egg" is now being held at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall in Tokyo.

That means the plot of "The Last Magician" will probably move to Tokyo, and the substation that Kaito Kid will blow up will be in Tokyo, which fits the requirements of the security mission!
"I only want to ask you one thing."

"Would you still bomb substations in Osaka Prefecture or Tokyo to create a city-wide blackout in order to steal the Memory Egg or other gems?"

Chen En pressed the salted fish in his hand forward a little.

I sensed the sharp edge of the salted fish.

Kaito Kuroba almost lost his temper.

Unfortunately, at close range, Kaito Kuroba had no way to escape from Chen En, let alone bristle and breathe fire.

"No, a flashback/recollection Easter egg?"

"What exactly are they... You mean the Easter eggs from Russia, right?"

In a critical situation, Kaito Kuroba used his superior memory to quickly figure out what Chen En was referring to.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said,
"There were only fifty Easter eggs in total, and they have all been collected."

"Where did the Suzuki Group get these Easter eggs? The fifty-first? Even if it is the fifty-first, I have no reason to steal them. They're not jewels, why would I steal them?"

"Blowing up the substation is even more absurd. You can search my base and find some explosives, which I'll give to you."

Chen En stared at Kaito Kuroba for a while. Then, with a thought, he brought up the system.

I was puzzled when I realized that the system still hadn't displayed the security task completion page.

—Of course he knew that in the main Conan canon, "The Magician of the End of the Century" was like a dark chapter in history.

But now that Pu Siqinglan has appeared, how can the plot of this thing change?

Chen En turned to look at the people who had just entered the base.

Terai Kinosuke looked at Kuroba Kaito and Chen En with a puzzled expression.

The old housekeeper thought Chen En was doing some kind of performance art with a salted fish.

He put down the tray he was carrying and prepared to leave without making a sound.

"I...I won't bother you, I'll be going now."

"Wait, you can't leave."

Chen En called out to Terai Kinosuke.

Immediately, Terai Kinosuke turned around, hesitated for a moment, and then said,
“Young Master Chen En, your salted fish has no deterrent effect on me.”

Chen En: ?
Did I stop you because of the salted fish?

Chen En tossed the salted fish aside, patted Terai Kinosuke on the shoulder, and said seriously,
"Do you believe me if I say that Kaito Kuroba will blow up a substation in Tokyo soon?"

Terai Huang Zhisuke:?

I couldn't understand it, I was utterly shocked!
Terai Kinosuke wore an incredulous expression.

Before Terai Kinosuke could say anything, Chen En patted him on the shoulder and gave him some instructions.

"We absolutely cannot let Kaito Kuroba do that, do you understand, Butler Terai?"

"Otherwise, I'll really have to put him on a high level!"

Upon hearing this, Terai Kinosuke nodded repeatedly.

Even if Chen En hadn't mentioned that last part, he would never have let Kuroba Kaito blow up the substation.

If the whole city loses power, countless people will die in hospitals alone.

Including him, none of the three generations of Phantom Thief Kid have blood on their hands.

We absolutely cannot let Kaito Kuroba's generation break the tradition.

And this was all while Master Daoyi was still alive!

Seeing Chen En and Terai Kinosuke looking so serious.

Kaito Kuroba fell silent.

There's a feeling I can't quite describe.

Alright, after I finish this business, I'll take a few days off and go to the United States to visit my parents.

Batman can't just go crazy and say he's going to blow up the substation, can he?
During the time that Kaito Kuroba remained silent.

The doorbell rang abruptly.

This sound came from the front door of the Kuroba family's house, indicating that someone has come to visit.

"I'm not going to talk about this anymore. Okay, I'm leaving now."

"Officer Nakamori specifically asked me to come and accompany him to check out the security measures at the site."

Kaito Kuroba placed his hands behind his head.

He walked out without any of the air of a legendary phantom thief.

Watching Kaito Kuroba's shadow gradually disappear.

Chen En stroked his chin and then asked,

"Butler Terai, do you know what position the consultant the Suzuki family has hired, Urashi Seiran, holds?"

"It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign land, so I need to talk to her about something."

Terai Huang Zhisuke:?

Is it really true?
