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

Chapter 277 Phantom Thief Kid, we, the Three Musketeers of Kansai, are determined to rip your hood off the ground!

"Chief Chamu, what a coincidence that you're in the hospital room too, haha."

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Where did you bring my Second Investigation Division men? Is this still Hakodate City?"

In the intensive care unit, Chaki Shintaro met with Nakamori Ginzo, and they glared at each other.
He looked like if he wasn't still recuperating, he would be eager to go down and pull Nakamori Ginzo up and beat him up.

In response, Nakamori Ginzo could only laugh awkwardly and change the subject.

Aoko Nakamori, sitting next to him, was peeling an apple, listening to the two veteran police officers arguing.

—What's surprising is that both Manager Chaki and Dad recovered very quickly.
He can return to police work in three to five days at most.

Although it's hard to believe, that's the conclusion the doctor told her.

Nakamori Aoko finished peeling the apple, somewhat lost in thought.

Last night, my mother received an urgent lawsuit. She said that Prosecutor Kujo was too busy to attend to the case and had to take a flight back to Tokyo overnight. I heard that Tokyo has been a bit chaotic lately, and I don't know if my mother is safe.

And Kaito... I didn't see Kaito at school yesterday morning.

She received a call at school and was urgently summoned away. She had originally planned to take some time to go to Kaito's house to see if he was home, but unfortunately she didn't have the time. She really wanted to know what Kaito had been doing yesterday.

"The recovery looks pretty good."

The doctor, holding the medical report, walked into the ward.

He glanced at Chaki Shintaro and Nakamori Ginzo, smiled slightly, took a box of medicine from his white coat pocket, placed it on the table next to Nakamori Ginzo, and said,

"Inspector Nakamori, remember to take your medicine later. I'll come see you again in a while."

The doctor's voice sounded somewhat relaxed.
"I'm still waiting for you to show up again at the scene of capturing Phantom Thief Kid."

Upon hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo was taken aback.
Wow, I'm so famous now! Even the doctors in Hakodate know that I'm an expert at dealing with Phantom Thief Kid.
Nakamori Ginzo instinctively wanted to boast about his abilities.
However, the doctor had already turned around and left in a hurry.

Upon seeing this, Nakamori Ginzo muttered to himself unconsciously.

"Oh, it was just a polite remark."

However, Nakamori Aoko, who was standing next to her, felt that the doctor's back view looked very familiar.

I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

She touched her chin and murmured softly.

Meanwhile, Nakamori Ginzo opened the medicine box, tilted it, and prepared to pour out the blister packs inside.
However, when the medicine box tilted while the patient was asleep, it didn't dispense the blister pack that slid out.
Instead, it was a notice of advance notice.

A blank notice with the Phantom Thief Kid's logo!

The three people in the ward were immediately startled.

Nakamori Ginzo even sat up instinctively, pointing down the corridor and saying,

"It's Phantom Thief Kid! Don't let him get away!"

The officers from the Second Investigation Division sitting in the corridor were immediately startled.
I instinctively ran towards the doctor in the white coat who had just come out.

However, the doctor seemed to have anticipated this scene.
He smiled slightly, and several flashbang smoke grenades slipped from the sleeve of his white coat.

In the next instant, the white figure had vanished.

The last thing the officers from the Second Investigation Division saw was Kaito Kid standing on a telephone pole, bowing to them before flying into the sky—what was that? A mocking gesture after the curtain falls?
Grabbing the IV stand, Inspector Nakamori, who had arrived late,
Watching the Phantom Thief Kid's hang glider disappear into the distance, he jumped up and down angrily, shouting,

"That despicable Phantom Thief Kid! I'll definitely catch you!"

However, this scene in the ward,
This only strengthened Chaki Shintaro's belief that Nakamori Ginzo was the one to deal with Kaito Kid.
He only participated in two encounters with Phantom Thief Kid.
As a result, he was sent to the emergency room during the second treatment. Such a dangerous job should be left to Nakamori Ginzo.

Chaki Shintaro leaned back on the hospital bed.
He pondered how to explain the situation to Superintendent General Hakuba when he returned to Tokyo.

You can't just brush it off with a simple "I'm lying in the emergency room and I don't know anything," can you?
— Phantom Thief Kid departs on a hang glider.

He landed on the roof of a nearby building, then turned to look at the city of Hakodate before him.
I felt a little emotional.

Although it was only a short two-day trip to Hakodate City
But the intensity here is indeed too high; even he would have difficulty coping without preparation.

Kaito Kuroba put his hands in his pockets.
He had originally planned to return to Tokyo this morning.
I was just worried about Inspector Nakamori and Supervisor Chaki, so I came to check on them in the hospital.

The two veteran police officers now look very energetic.

He could then return to Tokyo with peace of mind.

Furthermore, since Aoko will be staying in Hakodate for at least a week,
He could also use this time to freely scout locations in Tokyo.
Prepare for your next move.

—Kaito Kuroba currently has no intention of giving up his identity as Phantom Thief Kid.

Because his father, Kuroba Touichi, said he was currently in Las Vegas investigating the whereabouts of a mysterious organization.

If someone can attract the attention of the mysterious organization,

This will greatly facilitate his investigative efforts.

Therefore, Kaito Kuroba still intends to maintain his identity as Phantom Thief Kid.
Until the mysterious organization is destroyed, or the legendary Pandora Gem is found.

Although, it is clear that this goal will take a very long time to achieve.

However, isn't it precisely because goals are difficult to achieve that they have meaning?

"Now that we're here, we should probably visit some of Hakodate's classic attractions."

"I'll take some photos then and send them to my mom later..."

Kaito Kuroba muttered to himself, turning around.

Just as they were about to leave,

The next moment, the door to the top floor of the building was suddenly pushed open.

A figure carrying a wooden sword appeared before him.

"Kaito Kid, now you have nowhere to run, don't you?"

Hattori Heiji said with a grin,

Upon seeing this, Kaito Kuroba raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to say that Hattori Heiji was nothing special,
From behind Hattori Heiji
Two more figures carrying wooden swords emerged.
—One of them looks exactly like him no matter how you look at it, while the other is a high school student who looks like a ghost.

So much so that Kaito Kuroba's first reaction was that Shinichi Kudo was coming to cut him down with a wooden sword.

But upon closer inspection, he realized something was amiss.

He just seems to be someone who looks remarkably like him and Shinichi Kudo.

"The legendary phantom thief, number 1412?"

Okita Souji VI picked up his wooden sword and said,
"I am Okita Souji VI, a second-year student in the Kendo Club at Izumi High School. Nice to meet you."

Onimaru Takeshi, standing beside him, took down the wooden sword he had been carrying.

The tip of the knife pointed diagonally at the ground as he spoke.
"Come on, Phantom Thief 1412."

Hattori Heiji gripped his sword with both hands and shouted.
"Kaito Kid, don't run away, charge at us!"

"Let me show you the strength of the Three Musketeers of Kansai!"

They've ripped all the hoods off the ground!
Kuroba Kaito:?
If you tell me not to run, and I don't run, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
Moreover, why are you three not busy with the Kendo Tournament, but instead coming to block my way?
Was the kendo tournament canceled at the last minute because Fukujo Sei was arrested? Are they making fun of me?!
