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

Let Conan and Ai Haibara eat together.

Conan smirked, casually put his phone back in his pocket, and simply said...

"It's as if we've never eaten with them."

The phone beeped again at that moment.

However, Conan figured it was another message from the Detective Boys, so he didn't bother to read it.

Instead, Ai Haibara stared at the information on her phone for a while before speaking.

"...That's really efficient."

Conan: ?

Is it really that efficient? How so?

Are you referring to how quickly Genta cleared the lunch trays inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?

That's indeed very fast.

In 10 minutes, you can stack it as high as someone else.

When Conan first saw Genta, he wondered if Genta had mutated, since he could eat so much food at once.

That's incredible.

However, Conan noticed that Ai Haibara's expression was a bit off, and then realized that the message that had just been sent was probably not from the Detective Boys.

He immediately asked.

Who sent the message? What did it say?

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara turned her phone to face Conan without any hesitation and then spoke.

"It's that phantom thief who's your nemesis."

...Kaito Kid?

Can't you?

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the information on his phone with some suspicion.

This is a defense deployment map.

Just by glancing at the information on the defense map, one can tell that it should be the defense map of a high-end hotel.

Conan, combining the information he knew, immediately deduced the answer.

This should be the defense map of the hotel in Tokyo where Princess Mira from the Kingdom of Vesbania will be staying.

How did Kaito Kid manage to scout out that hotel and find out its security layout?

Conan was somewhat surprised by this.

He carefully examined the defense map and felt that the defenses were indeed quite thorough, showing great concern for Princess Mira's safety.

So it seems that Princess Mira shouldn't have any problems?

The only factor that seems to be causing problems for Princess Mira is that Kaito Kid might sneak in at night to steal something.

That damn magic thief.

He is the only uncertainty.

Just as Conan was still mentally criticizing Kaito Kid, Ai Haibara continued.

“I heard Chen Enyou mention it last night.”

"He was going to investigate information about the Steel Society during the day, so he assigned the task of finding out the defense map of the hotel where Princess Mira was staying to Phantom Thief Kid."

"At the same time, we dispatched Phantom Thief Kid to steal the Vespania mineral that Princess Mira brought to Tokyo for display."

"Because we also need to ensure Princess Mira's safety, Phantom Thief Kid sent us a copy of the defense plan as well."

Conan: ?

How could I, a dignified and excellent detective, work with a mere thief?

Conan's face darkened before he spoke.

"...I won't help him steal that Vesbania ore."

Ai Haibara added a sentence.

"This is what Chen En wanted."

Conan added.

"However, for the sake of a noble cause, some material sacrifices are inevitable, and this is unavoidable."

Ai Haibara: ?

Why do I feel like you've become more flexible about your moral bottom line after spending so much time with Chen En?

Is this still a famous detective?

What did you give me?

Anyway, as long as it wasn't stolen by Kaito Kid, Conan felt he could barely accept it.

He knew that Chen En had taken the Vesbania ore and would definitely not do anything bad.

Moreover, since Chen En wants this Vesbania ore, there must be a scenario where he absolutely needs to use it.

Given that Chen En could use the Visbania ore to save more people, it's normal to allow him to do things that slightly overstep the boundaries.

It's like the Robin family in the comics, constantly putting pressure on Batman.

They can hardly be considered human anymore.

Conan thought to himself that he couldn't possibly be like the Robin family, those amazing people in the manga, could he?

After Conan carefully examined the defense plan, Ai Haibara put her phone away with some disdain and said something.

"You have it on your phone too, right?"

"Why don't you take a look at the deployment map on your own phone?"

Conan was taken aback by what he heard.

That's true.

He immediately took out his phone from his pocket and carefully observed Princess Mira's defenses.

He pondered where someone would start if they really wanted to kill Princess Mira.

Conan thought for a moment, then remembered that Princess Mira, as the crown princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania, did not have much power.

Even this trip was arranged by the Duke of the Kingdom of Vesbania.

If what Chen En said is true, and the Duke of the Kingdom of Vesbania is planning to kill Princess Mira...

Therefore, any of the personnel deployed in this seemingly meticulous defense map could be subordinates of the Duke of Vesbania.

This shows that it was not a well-defended defense at all, but rather a trap set for Princess Mira, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

Conan's heart tightened at this thought.

He said this with some apprehension.

"It seems we need to scout the location beforehand; we can't just make a decision based on the magician thief's defense map."

"And the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Japanese Public Security Bureau will also be mobilized at that time, right?"

"Perhaps the intelligence and personnel over there can also be used."

We can't expect the Bat Family to handle all the incidents that happen in Tokyo, whether they're terrorist attacks or heinous murders, can we?

What's the point of supporting the Japanese Public Security Bureau and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? Are they just there to freeload?

Chapter 1364

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The members of the Junior Detective Club had just finished giving their statements and were enjoying a hearty meal in the cafeteria.

Officer Takagi looked at the additional charges on his meal card and burst into tears.

Damn it, if this continues...

There's been another problem with this month's salary assessment.

However, just as Takagi Wataru was worrying about his life problems, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of several cars heading towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department next door.

Those cars looked somewhat familiar.

Takagi Wataru immediately became serious, touched his chin, recalled for a moment, and then realized that it seemed to be the car of the gold watch group member who had previously visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

What? The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has a mission today? Are they going to be deployed again?

He thought that after yesterday's terrorist attack, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department would take a break for a while.

After all, those Japanese Public Security officers seem to be doing nothing all day, don't they?

As Takagi Wataru noticed the familiar vehicle appearing near the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Ai Haibara and Conan had also noticed those familiar cars.

"Is it that person from the gold watch group?"

"After he brought the members of the Black Organization back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department yesterday, there has been no news about him."

"Did they go out to arrest people today after finding out about the Black Organization's strongholds in the Tokyo area?"

Conan muttered to himself from the side.

Hearing this, Ai Haibara, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should indeed be the case.

It wasn't that she looked down on Chianti and Cohen, who were codenamed members of the Black Organization.
