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

Chapter 602 Inspector Nakamori Arrives Late But Sure
"Hmph, if the topic is dealing with Phantom Thief Kid, then naturally the first one to appear will be me, Phantom Thief Kid's nemesis!"

"This time, I will definitely catch Phantom Thief Kid and I will never let him get away from me again!"

"I can say that," Nakamori Ginzo said with complete confidence.

Although he hadn't led the Second Investigation Division out in action for a long time recently because he had been shot at the Hakodate Tsukasa.

However, when it comes to dealing with Kaito Kid, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department still decided to send him first!

What does this mean?
This shows that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department trusts his abilities! Even the superintendent of the Second Investigation Division, Chaki Shintaro, insisted on having him take the field despite opposition!

Thinking of this, Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but hum softly.

—Before going to Hakodate, Chaki Shintaro had a bad impression of him, but after returning from Hakodate…

Chaki Shintaro witnessed his strength firsthand and became a completely different person from then on, fully supporting him in dealing with Phantom Thief Kid.

He will not betray Chaki Shintaro's trust!
He had no choice before, but this time he's going to become the great hero who takes down Phantom Thief Kid!

"Dad, are you alright?"

"You were shot in Hakodate and have been recuperating for so long. You haven't recovered to your peak physical condition yet, have you?"

"Does it really have to be you who deals with Phantom Thief Kid?"

Nakamori Aoko said with some concern.

She felt that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was full of capable people, and it was not necessarily necessary for Ginzo Nakamori to take action to deal with Kaito Kid.

Kaito Kuroba, standing nearby, was inwardly grumbling.

Hey, what do you mean by trusting your abilities?

Stop making a big deal out of it; this is all completely fabricated.

The reason Chaki Shintaro asked you to deal with Kaito Kid is probably because he thought you would face the least danger in doing so.

Kaito Kuroba still remembers Chaki Shintaro's behavior on that flight from Tokyo to Hakodate.

This superintendent of the Second Investigation Division is actually considered one of the best among the police officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but he is not suitable for dealing with Kaito Kid.

This guy fought him twice.

As a result, two problems arose, probably because he developed a psychological trauma, feeling that getting close to him would bring misfortune, which is why he asked Nakamori Ginzo to deal with him.

However, this is also a good thing.

Kaito Kuroba has been the Phantom Thief Kid for some time now, and naturally he has clashed with Ginzo Nakamori more than once.

He was well aware of his future father-in-law's capabilities, and he might even feel pressured if Nakamori Ginzo were replaced.

After all, Nakamori Ginzo is a man who could be his teammate!

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind!"

"Now let me deal with Phantom Thief Kid and deliver the final blow!"

"I said aggressively."

He turned to look at Kaito Kuroba and asked.

"Oh, right, this time Aoko is planning to come with me to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall to deal with Kaito Kid."

"Didn't you always go with Aoko before? Why aren't you going this time? Is something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba chuckled awkwardly.

"Haha, yes, there really is something."

"I won't go this time. You and Qingzi can go. I'll be happy to hear your version of events when you come back later."

In response, Nakamori Ginzo's lips curled into a smile.

He pointed to himself with his left thumb and said loudly with great confidence.

"I'm now a Super Nakamori Ginzo, even better than before after my recovery!"

"Kaito, just wait until I get back and tell you about my heroic feats against Kaito Kid!"

Kuroba Kaito:?
It seems like you're going to start romanticizing your day as soon as you get back. Like how Ultraman Taro romanticized his fight against Belial... Anyway, who is Belial?
Kaito Kuroba scratched his head.

The thought that had just popped into his head seemed a little strange, but he didn't dwell on it. He simply raised his wristwatch and glanced at the time.

Then, he raised an eyebrow and said.

"Is it really okay if we don't go at this time?"

"Kaito Kid only has a little over an hour to operate. Aren't you guys supposed to go to the site and set up various defensive devices?"

Nakamori Ginzo:?
Huh? What? Time flies so fast?

Nakamori Ginzo quickly looked up at his watch, a look of shock immediately appearing in his eyes, and hurriedly said.

"Oh no, we're really going to be too late!"

"Aoko, let's go! This time we must give Phantom Thief Kid a good beating!"

"Let him know that Tokyo's jewelry is protected by our brave Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers!"

Nakamori Aoko:?
Although, I don't think I'm a police officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department...

However, since Dad is so happy, it's better not to argue with him.

Nakamori Aoko followed Nakamori Ginzo out the door. Before leaving, she glanced back at Kuroba Kaito's figure.

do not know why.

She suddenly remembered what Hakuba Saguru had said in front of everyone earlier.

Although Kaito Kuroba proved that he was not Kaito Kid during the incident at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

But for some reason, she still felt that Kaito Kid and Kaito Kuroba were very similar.

Now, Kaito suddenly has something to deal with while he's on Kaito Kid's mission, and this deliberate attempt to stagger the timing makes her hesitate.

What could Kaito Kuroba possibly have to do today? She hadn't heard anything about him having anything to do at school today.

However, just as Nakamori Aoko stepped out...

Kaito Kuroba's cell phone suddenly rang.

He took his phone out of his pocket with some confusion, a look of bewilderment on his face. He wondered who would call him at this time. Then, when he saw the message, he was immediately shocked.

—This is a phone call from his mother, Chikage Kuroba.

He hadn't contacted his mother for a long time.

Why did Mom suddenly call at this time? He told Aoko and Inspector Nakamori that he had something to do and that was why he couldn't go to the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall with them, but he didn't really have something to do!
However, Kaito Kuroba couldn't just hang up on his mother.

He pressed the answer button anyway, but before Kuroba Kaito could even put the phone to his ear, Kuroba Chikage's voice came from the other end of the line, and it was quite loud.

"Kaito, do you remember what your mother told you before?"

"If you don't have anything planned for tonight, hurry home. Mom has a surprise for you."

Kaito Kuroba scratched the back of his head.

Completely powerless against her mother's words, she could only sigh and reply,

"Got it, Mom."

He was utterly powerless against his own mother, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Just like Shinichi Kudo with Yukiko Kudo, he was suppressed by bloodline.

Nakamori Aoko, who had initially harbored doubts, witnessed this scene.

Immediately, I breathed a sigh of relief.

—As expected, Kaito Kuroba couldn't possibly be Kaito Kid.

It seems it really was just a coincidence.
