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

Damn it, that brat is unreliable. I have to take matters into my own hands!

He reached out and ruffled Conan's hair roughly.

She stood up again, recalling the etiquette she rarely used, then coughed twice and adjusted her tone.

She asked,

"Sir, I am Sonoko Suzuki from the Suzuki Group. May I ask who you are?"

Taking a sip of coffee, Chen En answered subconsciously.

"I'm batman!"

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Huh? So the kid wasn't lying after all, he really is Batman?

The way he looked at Sonoko Suzuki suddenly became strange.

Chen En then realized he might have slipped up, and quickly coughed twice to correct himself.

"Ahem, just kidding... I'm Chen En, nice to meet you."

Seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki blinked.

I felt that my first impression had been completely overturned.

Wasn't he supposed to be a brooding or mysterious handsome guy? How come the filter shattered the moment he opened his mouth?

...What type of handsome guy is this? A comedian?

"Yes, we must catch Phantom Thief Kid!"

"Even if it means sending police helicopters to patrol the nearby waters, we must find that guy!"

A furious voice rang out from the side.

He walked past Chen En and his group with a squad of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

Then, Nakamori Ginzo stepped back and his gaze fell on Chen En.

To be precise, it landed on the conspicuous white coffee cup in Chen En's hand.

He might not remember a stranger he'd only met twice, but he would never mistake this coffee cup.

Because he was the only person on the entire Queen Cerissa Bermes who could hold a coffee cup!

"Well, you little phantom thief Kid, I didn't even look for you, but you still delivered yourself to my doorstep, huh!"

Nakamori Ginzo rolled up his sleeves and immediately prepared to take action.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki's eyes widened instantly, as if sparkling stars were shining in them.

What? This mysterious coffee shop guy is Lord Kid? Is this for real?

The rumors say that Kaito Kid is a handsome middle-aged man in his forties... Ah, thinking about it carefully, a handsome young man in his early twenties at most seems to fit her aesthetic more, isn't that better?

However, if it really is Lord Kid, even if he is discovered, he should be able to get away unscathed, right?

After all, he's the world's number one phantom thief!

"...I'm not Phantom Thief Kid, Inspector Nakamori. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Chen En shook his head and sighed.

“If you ask anyone at the scene, they’ll know that Mrs. Suzuki’s Black Star was stolen after I left the banquet hall, okay? I was chatting with the crew outside at the time.”

"If you don't believe me, just ask the crew members who brought Miss Mori up here."

Hmm...that makes sense, after all, a person can't be in two places at the same time...

Nakamori Ginzo nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked up sharply.

He pointed at Chen En and said loudly.

"Wait a minute! If you weren't in the banquet hall at the time, how would you know when Madam Suzuki's Black Star was stolen by Phantom Thief Kid?!"

"As expected, you are Phantom Thief Kid! Just take him down and we'll talk about it!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing? He's Phantom Thief Kid, why are you bringing me up???"

Before he could finish speaking, two police officers grabbed Nakamori Ginzo's hands from either side and dragged him away on the spot.

The police inspector, who had just been transferred from the Hong Kong Police Department to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, yelled and screamed.

"I really am Nakamori Ginzo! I'm not Kaito Kid, he's the real Kaito Kid!"

"You've arrested the wrong person!"

Not far away, the police chief in charge of this operation, Chaki Shintaro, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

I should have known better than to transfer this guy from the Hong Kong Police Force to deal with Phantom Thief Kid.

Why does it seem like Nakamori Ginzo has become obsessed with arresting Kaito Kid after all these years?

The person getting the coffee has already had their ID checked twice, and they want to check it a third time? Aren't they afraid of getting a complaint letter?

He chuckled sheepishly and waved in their direction, indicating that everything was alright.

Then, when Nakamori Ginzo was brought here by the police officers, his expression changed completely.

Nakamori Ginzo was stunned.

When had he ever seen such amazing face-changing technology?

"Enough, Nakamori! I'm the commander!"

"Chaki Shintaro said loudly."

Upon hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo broke free from the restraints of the two officers beside him and responded angrily.

"Chaki, you'll regret this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Watching Nakamori Ginzo's retreating figure, Chaki Shintaro remained silent for a moment.

Maybe next time we should let this genius deal with Kaito Kid alone.

Otherwise, if he offends some big shot next time, wouldn't he have to take the blame for Nakamori Ginzo? That won't do!

"W-what happened?"

Ran Mouri finally woke up slowly.

She stared blankly at the familiar faces gathered around her, and at Kogoro Mouri, who was squatting beside her looking extremely worried.

"Xiao Lan, you're awake!"

Kogoro Mouri excitedly grabbed Ran Mouri's hand and said,

"The banquet is over, Phantom Thief Kid has escaped, and the Dark Star has been found!"

"We're almost at the port of Tokyo now!"

Ran Mouri: ?

Why do I feel like I missed a whole episode?

Chapter 8 The Greatest Robin of All Time

The Queen Cerissa White slowly docked.

Many guests who had suffered on the ferry hurriedly disembarked.

Only Chen En seemed calm and unaffected.

He was indeed unaffected.

He wasn't in the banquet hall when the smoke bomb exploded, so he didn't get a single cigarette.

The system shop was laid out before me, and today's random items included Batman's Batmobile, mechanical dinosaurs from the Batcave, and... the Brothers Eye System.

Can this third one be put together with the first two? Seriously?

Chen En used his mind to flip through the ordinary items below, and sighed inwardly that he didn't have enough points to exchange for items.

"Ran-neechan, Professor Agasa is here to pick me up!"

"I'm staying at Professor Agasa's house today!"

The sound of the Grim Reaper elementary school student clipping his ear rang in my ears.

Chen En's body trembled instinctively, and the light screen in front of him disappeared instantly. He quickly took a sip of coffee to calm himself down before looking towards Conan.

Kogoro Mouri, who was still exchanging pleasantries with someone, looked quite surprised and turned around to ask,

"Huh? Professor Agasa? Why is he here to pick you up at this hour..."

"Ah, yes, yes, I am Kogoro Mouri, nice to meet you!"

Before he could finish speaking, another celebrity who hadn't been able to strike up a conversation with him at the banquet hall came over to befriend him.

Regardless, Kogoro Mouri is a nationally renowned detective.

Moreover, his business scope is quite extensive. If you befriend him, you might be able to resolve some issues later.

With more people around, Kogoro Mouri was busy with pleasantries and had no time to care about the trivial matter of where Conan lived.

Since Kogoro Mouri has no objection to this, Ran Mouri naturally won't either.

Ran Mouri, standing next to Kogoro Mouri, looked at him with a hint of helplessness, as he seemed somewhat irresponsible.

She sighed, knelt down, patted Conan's head, and gently instructed him.

"Well then, be a good boy/girl at Professor Agasa's house today, and don't make him angry."

"I know!"
