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

Chapter 755 An Exorcist Without Professional Ethics
"It's a bit strange..."

"The Spider and the Purple Witch's purpose in coming to Tokyo should have been to take down Phantom Thief Kid or Batman, so why didn't they make a move before?"

In an empty office of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Hakuba Saguru stood by the window, gazing thoughtfully at the street scene of Tokyo outside.

He found this rather strange.

If the mysterious organization was after Kaito Kid or Batman, then they should have made their move inside the Suzuki Foundation's Grand Exhibition Hall.

Although Batman was not in the exhibition hall.

But Kaito Kid is there.

If the mysterious organization seizes the opportunity for Phantom Thief Kid to sneak into the Suzuki Foundation's Grand Exhibition Hall and steal the Kirin Horn and the Amber Emperor.

If the attack were carried out directly at that time...

It is highly unlikely that Kaito Kid will escape from the siege of the mysterious organization.

Unless those two people have some concerns.

"Is it because of concerns about the Scarlet Witch?"

Hakuba Saguru stroked his chin thoughtfully and offered his guess.

After all, the Scarlet Witch is the strongest of the Seven Colors Witches. If the reason for not taking action at that time was out of consideration for the Scarlet Witch's existence...

It's not that it's unreasonable.

However, this will lead to new problems.

Now that they already know the Scarlet Witch will help Phantom Thief Kid.

If they didn't want to be enemies with the Scarlet Witch, there would be no need for them to come to Tokyo to attack Kaito Kid again.

Could it be that……

"There was a mysterious building collapse inside the Suzuki Foundation's Grand Exhibition Hall, right?"

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

The white horse turned its head to look behind it.

The person who came into his line of sight was his assistant from the Canadian region, or more accurately, from the North American magical community.

A North American exorcist.

The exorcist helped him deal with the Purple Witch and the Spider, but then disappeared without a trace, only reappearing after he left Canada.

how to say?

This person's abilities meet the standards.

And they'll do anything as long as you pay them.

But you can't rely too much on this person. He's the type who has no professional ethics but only abilities. If you throw trouble at him, he'll really run away.

They might even turn around and sell out their employer.

However, Hakuba Saguru still invited the exorcist to Tokyo to accompany him in his next operation against the Spider and the Purple Witch.

There is no other reason.

Previously, when dealing with the Purple Witch and the Spider in North America, he had no allies to help him, but the situation is different in Tokyo.

Batman and Phantom Thief Kid are the two men's natural enemies, but also his natural allies.

These two are there to deal with the Purple Witch and the Spider.

There's no need for the top exorcist next to him to take the lead, so there's basically no need to consider the possibility that this person might betray him at this time.

"what do you mean?"

White Horse Scout asked casually.

As if showing off his abilities, this top North American exorcist said with a smile.

"I went to the site and saw it for myself."

"The inexplicable collapse of the building inside the Suzuki Foundation Grand Exhibition Hall was the effect of the Red Magic; the Red Witch made her move at that moment."

"She caused the ceiling to collapse, thus preventing someone from chasing after Phantom Thief Kid..."

At this point, the exorcist raised an eyebrow.

He was quite puzzled by the Scarlet Witch's behavior.

Generally speaking, for a great mage of the Scarlet Witch's caliber, she could easily entangle someone with a few spells, so why would she need to resort to this method?

Is that person really that difficult to deal with?
He did his research.

The fighter that the Scarlet Witch stopped was just a recent high school graduate; there are countless people like that.

They actually had to resort to such methods?
Sure enough, it's because this little girl has no experience that she made such a judgment, right?
"all in all."

The North American exorcist coughed. "The Scarlet Witch's actions this time have allowed another witch of equal caliber to see through her, to get a feel for her abilities."

"If that's really the case."

"The next time Phantom Thief Kid strikes again, the mysterious organization will probably really take action and kill him outright."

"Boss White Horse".

"You're not so naive as to think that the Purple Witch would ruin her reputation and give up the assassination mission just because the Red Witch made a move once, are you?"

Unlike mourners like him.

The Purple Witch is still young.

She values ​​her reputation highly, especially for commissions that don't require her to take risks, since that's not her main role.

"Will it be Kaito Kid's next move?"

Hear this.

Hakuba Saguru stroked his chin, his brows furrowing slightly. He somewhat agreed with the North American exorcist's assessment.

After all, Batman wasn't in the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall at the time, so if the mysterious organization wanted to take down Phantom Thief Kid, that would have been the perfect opportunity.

There must be some other reason why they didn't take action. This reason could be either the red hood that appeared in Tokyo at the time, or the Red Witch.

However, the red hoods have now disappeared.

After the Scarlet Witch made her move, the Purple Witch likely saw through her secrets.

No matter which aspect you start from.

It seems that Kaito Kid is out of luck; his next operation will be the last one of his career.

Unless Batman and he lend a hand.

"You also know divination magic, right?"

"Is it possible to find out when Phantom Thief Kid will carry out his next operation?"

"It will be too late by the time Phantom Thief Kid sends out a notice."

Hakuba Saguru turned to ask the North American exorcist.

The exorcist simply shrugged indifferently and then answered directly.

"What divination? I don't know how to do that!"

"I can only use contract magic to summon demons to ask about the situation, but I won't be able to use that for a while."

"My credit score has been a bit off lately."

"If I summon a demon, it will probably kill me first, but boss, I might as well sign your name..."

"Close the door."

Hakuba Saguru turned around and said directly.

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in the exorcist's eyes. He then went to the door and was about to close it when he heard Hakuba Saguru's words.

"Close it from the outside."

North American exorcists: ?

Since you're the big spender, I won't hold it against you. Let's see what fun places there are in Tokyo first.

After the North American exorcists left.

Hakuba Saguru sat back down at the computer, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he began investigating the files from that year.

He already had a vague idea in his mind.

For example, investigating who the original Phantom Thief Kid really was, or investigating the identity of the Phantom Thief Lady who disappeared at the same time as Phantom Thief Kid...

These things must not be known to the exorcist.

Otherwise, this guy would definitely use this identity information to make money.

"If you peek again..."

"I can guarantee that you will only receive 70% of the original payment."

The white horse peeked out without even looking up, and said...

I was originally planning to use a little magic to see what was displayed on the computer inside.

After hearing what Hakuba Saguru said.

The North American exorcist gave up with some regret.
