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

Dr. Agasa blinked, recalling Chen En's words from back then.

[Professor Agasa, did you see that?]

This is what happens to riddle tellers, so please don't be a riddle teller anymore, okay?

It seems that Chen En was pointing to the portrait of the eldest master of the Jian Gong family when he spoke to him.

The patriarch of the Mamiya family created a riddle that led to the deaths of more than ten members of his own family and drove one of them insane; he was truly a treacherous individual.

Thinking about how she and Fusae were gradually starting to rekindle their old feelings for each other.

Dr. Agasa coughed twice and said...

"Ahem, well, then I won't tell you the riddle. This is actually..."

"Fuyuno and Furuno, right?"

Kaito Kuroba answered casually.

As a genuine riddle master, how could he not understand such a simple riddle? Conan nodded beside him and subconsciously explained in the same way.

Napoleon famously said, "The word 'impossible' does not exist in my dictionary." Land is also called "place," and "word" refers to the inscription on a doorplate (at the front door). Therefore, Napoleon's quote can also be interpreted as "There are no deep fields on my land."

Ran Mouri blinked, looking at Conan with some curiosity, and asked,

"Did Shinichi teach you this too?"

Conan subconsciously answered in a low voice,

"Ah, yes, yes... no, no... yes, yes."

He just remembered that Phantom Thief Kid was standing next to him disguised as him.

Isn't saying this now just asking to be exposed?

But upon closer reflection, he is Shinichi Kudo, not Kaito Kid. If he insists that Shinichi Kudo said those words, and Kaito Kid says he didn't say them, wouldn't that expose Kaito Kid's deception?

How could Xiaolan not believe him but believe this imposter?

I'm sure Ran will be able to tell whether the Shinichi Kudo next to her is the real deal or not!

"Ah, yes, I did say that."

Kaito Kuroba chuckled and ruffled Conan's hair beside him, then continued,

"The reason I came back specifically is because the announcement from Kaito Kid mentioned Josephine, which is the play being performed today."

The riddle is:

Romeo, Juliet, the Conqueror, cheers—amidst the intertwining and dancing of the 26 letters, I will come to steal the jewel of destiny, Phantom Thief Kid!

Napoleon, the protagonist of "Josephine," is undoubtedly a conqueror. He and Empress Josephine were a very loving couple, but their ending was not good. It is appropriate to use Romeo and Juliet as a metaphor for them.

Therefore, it is also plausible to interpret the story as Kaito Kid stealing the jewel during the applause at the end of the play.

However, Conan doesn't think this is the correct interpretation, because that's exactly how Kogoro Mouri interpreted it.

Rather than believing that Kogoro Mouri's interpretation is correct.

He might as well believe that a real Batman exists in this world.

Conan narrowed his eyes as he watched Kaito Kuroba chatting and laughing with Ran.

He gave a disapproving look.

That despicable Phantom Thief Kid dares to impersonate Shinichi Kudo (me)!

Suzuki Foundation Grand Exhibition Hall.

Makoto Kyogoku looked at the pile of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers in front of him.

I have some doubts.

It's been a while since I've been to Tokyo. Is this some kind of new trend in Tokyo lately?

Nakamori Ginzo was directing the other officers to disperse.

The next moment, the entire 'police officer mountain' scattered in all directions.

Makoto Kyogoku put his hands back in his pockets.

With those glasses, no one could tell that he was the one who had just made the move.

Nakamori Ginzo, standing nearby, turned his head in shock to look at Kyogoku Makoto.

Remembering that Suzuki Jirokichi had just said that Chen En was one of the experts hired to deal with Phantom Thief Kid, he immediately asked,

"Sir, are you also one of the experts hired to deal with Phantom Thief Kid?"

and also?

Kyogoku Makoto asked, somewhat puzzled,

"Is there anyone else besides me?"

Nakamori Ginzo immediately nodded and said,

"Of course, besides you, there's also Chen En, the boyfriend of the second young lady of the Suzuki Group."

Kyogoku Makoto:?

"Moreover, I've always suspected that Chen En's true identity is Kaito Kid!"

Kyogoku Makoto:? ?

"However, Mr. Suzuki just denied this statement."

"Perhaps Chen En is not Phantom Thief Kid, but the Chen En just now wouldn't let me test him. I think it's also possible that Phantom Thief Kid disguised himself as Chen En and has now infiltrated the exhibition hall to steal the jewels."

Kyogoku Makoto:? ? ?

A look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Huh? There is such a thing?

No, why? I hadn't heard of this before I came here.

Seeing Kyogoku Makoto's astonished expression,

Nakamori Ginzo asked curiously,

"Are you curious about why that person could be Sonoko Suzuki's boyfriend?"

"Let me tell you, Kaito Kid's greatest skill is all sorts of ways to win a girl's heart. Even my daughter, who is quite adamant about Kaito Kid, sometimes subconsciously says 'So cool' when she sees him perform."

"Think about it, if Phantom Thief Kid stayed right next to a girl, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to capture her?"

Kyogoku Makoto nodded thoughtfully.

That makes sense.

However, let's double-check.

He greeted Nakamori Ginzo, then casually stopped a nearby exhibition hall employee and asked,

"Excuse me, is Sonoko Suzuki's boyfriend a man named Chen En?"

Why hasn't anyone made this public?

The exhibition hall staff said matter-of-factly.

"Of course, it's because if it's made public, Mrs. Tomoko will cause trouble for Miss Sonoko's boyfriend!"

"Doesn't this mean that Miss Sonoko and Mr. Chen En have a very good relationship, so Miss Sonoko will wait until she has convinced Mrs. Tomoko before telling her about this relationship?"

Kyogoku Makoto:?

He looked up at Chen En, who was talking to Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki.

His expression changed instantly.

Is this even possible?!

That despicable Phantom Thief Kid dares to impersonate Chen En!

Chapter 222 It's time to give Phantom Thief Kid a good beating!

"Mr. Kyogoku, you've arrived."

Jirokichi Suzuki turned his head and saw Makoto Kyogoku coming over, his eyes filled with a complicated expression.

This young karate practitioner, who is about to achieve a 400-win streak in a short period of time since his debut, is no ordinary person.

It is said that it is possible to fire rubber bullets while multiple people are holding handguns.

Capture all the rubber bullets and eliminate the target.

Sigh, if only this time it was a real Phantom Thief Kid.

If Phantom Thief Kid dares to come, he's definitely in for a world of hurt.

Unfortunately, this time it was one of their own people disguised as Kaito Kid.

"I have something to tell you."

Suzuki Jirokichi coughed twice and said,

"You know, Phantom Thief Kid is very powerful and proficient in all kinds of gadgets."

"Even for you, it would be difficult to protect the jewels without getting hurt when facing Phantom Thief Kid."

Makoto Kyogoku nodded.

He didn't deny that, but he was somewhat puzzled as to why Suzuki Jirokichi was bringing this up now.

Then, Jirokichi Suzuki continued,

"Our Suzuki Group has always put people first."

"Considering people's health, Mr. Kyogoku, if you encounter any special circumstances, you can ensure your personal safety first. Gems are not that important."
