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

Chapter 605 He's laughing too often; he's obviously not the real deal.
"Something seems off, Granny Chiyo, don't you think?"

Meanwhile, at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall.

Of the four guardians hired by Suzuki Jirokichi, the other two were not present at the time.

Hakuba Saguru and Senma Kazuyo have also arrived at the scene.

However, upon arriving at the scene, Hakuba Saguru and Senma Kazuyo, two renowned detectives who had previously encountered Chen En, immediately noticed that Kudo Yukiko's disguise as Chen En was somewhat off—

No, it's not that Yukiko Kudo acted badly.

As fellow disciples who trained in disguise under Kuroba Toichi just like Vermouth, Vermouth's acting skills were exceptional, and Kudo Yukiko couldn't possibly be any less skilled.

Simply impersonating Chen En is not difficult at all.

However, Hakuba Saguru and Senma Kōyo could still tell at a glance that something was wrong with Chen En, played by Kudo Yukiko.

—However, they only vaguely felt that way, but hadn't yet figured out what was wrong.

In response, Chima Kazuyo stroked her chin and asked tentatively.

"Tan, do you think it might be because of a difference in attitude?"

"Compared to the previous Mr. Chen En, the current Mr. Chen En seems to have less of a sense of boundaries, his actions with Suzuki Sonoko are more intimate, and even his expression has become much more cheerful."

Is that so? It seems that is indeed the case.

Hakuba Tan nodded slightly.

He noticed it too, but he only noticed the change in Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko's way of getting along. He didn't see anything wrong with the other thing that Chima Kazuyo discovered later.

The reason is simple: Bai Ma Tan had more time with Chen En earlier.

In his memory, when he first observed Chen En, Chen En was actually very cheerful and liked to laugh. This made him subconsciously associate Chen En's current behavior pattern with the Chen En in his memory.

The Senjō generation did not have this problem.

When she first met Chen En.

Chen En already had a serious and focused demeanor, easily solving the case and finding the real culprit, then coldly warned her, giving her an extremely dangerous feeling.

It's hard to imagine that someone like that could be so cheerful and playful.

Do you think he might be Phantom Thief Kid?

"Chikami asked in a low voice."

She was invited by Hakuba Saguru to become one of the four guardians who would fight against Kaito Kid.

In reality, Senma Kazuyo has no intention of dealing with Phantom Thief Kid, because in her future plans, she also wants to persuade the gourmet detective Oogami Kissen to invite other famous detectives to the Twilight Villa in the name of Phantom Thief Kid.

The Twilight Villa holds a secret that her father never uncovered, even until his death.

She is one of the few famous detectives in Japan, but after investigating for so long with Ogami Isuzen, she still hasn't found anything.

Therefore, she made up her mind to use the power of all the famous detectives she could contact, to gather everyone's wisdom, to unravel the secret of the Twilight Mansion—and then take everyone down with her.

Because of its remote location, there is actually no cell phone signal at Twilight Villa.

She will blow up the only suspension bridge leading to the Twilight Mansion after all the detectives enter, and drain the oil from everyone's cars, leaving no one with a chance to escape.

However, this plan is currently only a rough outline in the mind of Senma Kazuyo.

Even if it's just a prototype, she doesn't intend to be enemies with Kaito Kid. Otherwise, who knows, she might use Kaito Kid's name as bait, only to have him follow the invitation to the Twilight Villa and punch her.

"I don't think so."

“I know very well that Kaito Kid is male, not female,” Hakuba Saguru replied.

He noticed that Chen En's current behavior was somewhat feminine.

Sonoko Suzuki had no suspicion of Chen En's actions. If the two were not particularly close, then it could only mean that they were of the same sex.

He leaned towards the latter, because it was highly unlikely that anyone else could raise their favorability rating higher than Chen En's.

—Speaking of which, what's going on with Kyogoku Makoto next door?

From the very beginning, faint red things were floating out of Makoto Kyogoku's body.

Is this some kind of magic effect?

Hakuba glanced sideways at Kyogoku Makoto, quite surprised by his reaction.

He knew that Makoto Kyogoku had a certain fondness for Sonoko Suzuki.

However, given the current situation, it is impossible for Kyogoku Shinteki to win the competition with Chen En, as the abilities they are currently demonstrating are not even comparable.

Kyogoku Makoto is very strong in combat, no less than Chen En, but Chen En's business acumen has been recognized by Suzuki Sonoko's parents.

This is a huge advantage, since the Suzuki Group would never allow someone without business acumen to be their son-in-law.

"Honestly, the mother's acting is so out of place."

"Dad, did Mom often improvise during her performances when she was acting?"

Conan stood next to Yusaku Kudo and muttered to himself.

Yusaku Kudo, who was standing next to Conan, reached out and patted Conan's head, replying with a smile.

"It's true that such a situation exists."

"But in the movie, Yukiko's impromptu performances can bring her cheers and applause, so don't worry too much about it. Yukiko is just staying here for a while, and she'll be going to the control room of the robotic arm soon."

—Yes, the robotic arm. It's hard to imagine why Jirokichi Suzuki is still clinging to it.

Although Conan didn't go to the scene to investigate the situation last time because of the ghost story at Teitan Elementary School.

However, the mechanical arm that Jirokichi Suzuki bought did not pose any obstacle to Kaito Kid.

He had heard Sonoko Suzuki mention it before, and it was hard to imagine why Jirokichi Suzuki insisted on using the mechanical arm, and even insisted on having Chen En operate the mechanical arm, instead of having Chen En personally deal with Kaito Kid.

Seriously, who gave Suzuki Jirokichi the confidence to use a mechanical arm to deal with Kaito Kid?

Conan thought to himself.

At this moment, Jirokichi Suzuki finally appeared on the podium.

He glanced at the four guardians present, as well as Yusaku Kudo and Conan who had come to watch the spectacle, before finally fixing his gaze on Chen En and Sonoko Suzuki.

He knew that Chen En had something come up and couldn't come, so he had asked someone to fill in for him.

However, the robotic arm is of paramount importance in this capture of Phantom Thief Kid.

Even though Chen En said that this person in disguise could perfectly replace him in operating the robotic arm, he was still a little worried. However, now that things had come to this, it seemed that he couldn't be worried anymore.

Let's ask her after the speech.

"Sending a message at this hour?"

Hakuba Saguru took his phone out of his pocket, his brows furrowing slightly.
