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

In the blink of an eye, several hidden folders appeared in Yukiko Kudo's line of sight.

These folders were created a long time ago.

The earliest ones are even from ten years ago.

"Yusaku, what are these folders...?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Yukiko Kudo's eyes; she wondered what Yusaku Kudo's intentions were in showing her these folders.

The next moment, Yusaku Kudo opened the folder, and the contents were immediately apparent.

This is an investigation report about Phantom Thief Kid.

Kudo Yusaku also faced off against Kaito Kid back then, when Kaito Kid wasn't yet Kuroba Kaito.

It was actually Kaito Kuroba's father, Toichi Kuroba.

The reason why the original Phantom Thief 1412 became the current Phantom Thief Kid is because of that duel.

At the time, Kudo Yu had investigated a lot about Kaito Kid in order to deal with him, and he kept these files on his computer.

However, because Kaito Kid revealed his true identity to him later, and because of their blood relationship, Yusaku Kudo didn't need to use any of these things.

And now, Kuroba Chikage has appeared.

In addition, his elusive and unpredictable movements, along with his disguise skills which are no less than those of Kuroba Toichi, make him a formidable opponent.

Kudo Yusaku thought of something.

He opened the investigation records related to the first appearance of Phantom Thief Kid, which contained information about the relationship between Phantom Thief Kid and Phantom Thief Lady.

Yes, Lady Thief.

Other international situations and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers are all under investigation, neglecting the relationship between Phantom Thief Kid and Phantom Thief Lady.

but.

As a world-class mystery novelist and detective, Yusaku Kudo naturally couldn't ignore this aspect, and he investigated it in depth.

He then drew a conclusion.

There is an inseparable connection between Phantom Thief Kid and Phantom Thief Lady, but the last appearance of Phantom Thief Lady was the first appearance of Phantom Thief Kid.

The two never appeared together again.

Therefore, even Yusaku Kudo had no way of investigating the true identity of the Phantom Thief Lady, but today he has Yukiko Kudo's assistance.

He can now be fairly certain that the true identity of the Phantom Thief Lady is Kuroba Chikage.

"In that case..."

"Yukiko, I've now confirmed exactly why the Phantom Thief Lady came to Tokyo."

Kudo Yusaku said with considerable confidence.

These words startled Yukiko Kudo, who was standing next to her, because she hadn't yet realized that the Phantom Thief Lady was actually Chikage Kuroba.

after awhile.

Yukiko Kudo exclaimed in surprise.

"So, Master's wife is the Phantom Thief Lady!"

Yusaku Kudo: ?

It's enough to know this; there's no need to talk about it so loudly.

He didn't say much.

Yusaku Kudo opened one of the documents.

The content displayed above is very simple and clear.

That was the record of the Phantom Thief Lady stealing Ryoma's treasure, because the last time the Phantom Thief Lady appeared was also related to Ryoma's treasure when the Phantom Thief Kid first appeared.

So he also made a record of this.

This is exactly the kind of tool that comes in handy right now.

"The original owner of the treasure, Tarumi Inohiko, recently arrived in Tokyo for another auction and exhibition of the Ryoma Treasure."

"Obviously."

Yusaku Kudo provides the conclusion.

"The Phantom Thief Lady has come for her old rival, Tarumi Inohiko."

Chapter 688 Batman? It must be fake news!

"How are the plans coming along?"

"This time, we must make Phantom Thief Kid, who interfered with our plans eighteen years ago, pay the price!"

On the ferry to Tokyo.

The chairman of a multinational trading group and Chairman Kawazu, the leader of an illegal trading organization, are issuing orders.

His purpose in returning to China this time was simple and clear.

One purpose was to pave the way for the subsequent exhibition of counterfeit cultural relics, and the other was to make Kaito Kid pay the price.

Looking at the turbulent waves ahead.

Chairman Kawazu couldn't help but recall that night eighteen years ago, his first meeting with Phantom Thief Kid and his last meeting with Phantom Thief Lady.

The Phantom Thief Lady is a shameful thief.

Despite engaging in illegal activities such as theft himself, he meddles and criticizes others for forging and auctioning cultural relics and for smuggling cultural relics.

His plans were always ruined by the repeated theft of his treasures.

As a result, Chairman Kawazu had an extremely bad impression of the Phantom Thief Lady, and even went so far as to set a trap to kill her.

And that operation was almost a success.

Lady Phantom Thief was led into a deadly situation by his plan and was about to be shot to death, but at this moment, Phantom Thief Kid intervened.

The guy descended from the sky, rescued the Phantom Thief Lady with a hang glider, and disappeared before their eyes.

At that time, Kaito Kid had not yet officially debuted, so even if Chairman Kawazu intended to take revenge, he had no way of finding out who that person was.

It wasn't until later that he learned the magician who rescued the Phantom Thief Lady was actually Phantom Thief Kid.

Afterwards, Chairman Kawazu held a grudge.

He had been trying to get revenge on Kaito Kid to vent his anger, but Kaito Kid unfortunately died first.

That guy remained silent for a full ten years.

He made his comeback this year, becoming a famous phantom thief active in Tokyo.

Chairman Kawazu should have been able to return to Japan long ago to teach Kaito Kid a lesson, but he has been too busy lately, like a period of frequent accidents.

I've been putting it off until now, and only now can I finally free up my hands.

"That despicable Phantom Thief Kid."

"You saved the life of the Phantom Thief Lady back then, so you must repay the debt she owed!"

"I demand your life!"

Chairman Kawazu said through gritted teeth.

He considered himself a prominent figure in international crime, and believed that personally leading a team back to Tokyo to kill Kaito Kid would be a piece of cake.

After killing Phantom Thief Kid.

Then have his student, Tarumi Inohiko, hold a Ryoma exhibition and auction to lure out that damned Phantom Thief Lady and take her down with him!

"Boss, it will be a few more days before Tarumi Inohiko arrives in Tokyo."

"Are these few days enough for us to find out Kaito Kid's identity and take him down?"

One of the members of the international criminal organization said with some concern in his ear.

His concerns were not unfounded.

For so many years, so many talented people have failed to uncover the true identity of Phantom Thief Kid.

It's unrealistic to expect this group to cram at the last minute and uncover the person's true identity in just a few days, let alone take down Phantom Thief Kid.

As far as they know.

There are quite a few organizations that want to kill Phantom Thief Kid, the most notorious of which is that international assassin organization.

Some people called that assassin organization a mysterious organization, but even the mysterious organization failed.

Their personnel quality is not as good as the mysterious organization. They are better at making money and doing business than the mysterious organization, but in terms of combat power?

Hard to say.

"Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise."

"The mysterious organization is just a bunch of murderous brutes. What do they know about phantom thieves? We were able to corner Lady Phantom Thief, so we can corner Kid Phantom Thief too. Believe in yourselves!"

Chairman Kawazu said confidently.

At this point, he suddenly remembered that he had seen on the news before he set off that Phantom Thief Kid was going to make an appearance that night.

This time, the thief stole a big, fat sheep...

Ah no, it's the jewel of Suzuki Jirokichi, the advisor of the Suzuki Foundation. If nothing unexpected happens, Kaito Kid's operation will surely succeed easily.

I imagine the top news tonight will be about the deeds of Phantom Thief Kid.

Let's use a headline news item to confirm whether Kaito Kid is still active in Tokyo!

If this guy gets arrested by the Tokyo police tonight, then they can pack up and go do business somewhere else.

He said.

"Bring me the radio!"
