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

"However, as a magician... I really want to give it a try."

"Anyway, I'm already this old, and I don't have anything left to lose!"

Jirokichi Suzuki had just finished speaking.

The call came from the entrance of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

All three of them turned their gazes to the entrance of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

At this moment, a familiar face appeared before the three of them.

Conan Edogawa.

Chapter 885 Phantom Thief Kid, the Top Food on the Detective's Must-Eat List

As mentioned earlier.

The Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall, which is currently under construction, is not open to non-staff members in principle.

Previously, Chen En was able to enter the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall without any hindrance because the principle was next to Chen En, but Conan and Hattori Heiji obviously couldn't get past the security guards just by using their faces.

If Conan were to use Shinichi Kudo's appearance, it might be worth a try.

After all, Shinichi Kudo and Sonoko Suzuki were childhood friends.

Maybe they'll let Shinichi Kudo pass, since he and Sonoko Suzuki are considered close friends, but that wouldn't be the case for Heiji Hattori and Conan.

Although Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi look alike, he is darker-skinned.

He simply stood there in the darkness.

All you can see are his teeth and eyes.

Even a ghost could tell that he looked exactly like Shinichi Kudo.

And Conan goes without saying.

After he put on those non-prescription glasses that were comparable to those worn by Superman Clark Kent, even his childhood friend Ran Mouri couldn't recognize him, let alone the other security guards.

The two famous detectives were defeated right in front of the security guards at the entrance of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Chen En was at a loss for words.

He casually waved his hand, and the two security guards standing at the entrance of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall immediately made way, allowing Heiji Hattori and Conan to enter the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall together.

Upon entering the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Heiji Hattori immediately began to restlessly look around at various locations in the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

He was also very curious about the situation here.

Although Kaito Kid is a nationally renowned phantom thief.

However, the crimes were mostly committed in Tokyo.

Things like dealing with Tokyo's government agencies are only commonly seen in Tokyo.

Although the Suzuki Foundation also has a large exhibition hall in Osaka Prefecture.

However, Phantom Thief Kid never visited.

Each of these mechanisms used to deal with Phantom Thief Kid was novel to him, so he couldn't help but look around and stop to take a look.

Heiji Hattori sensed something was off after just a quick glance.

These mechanisms don't seem quite like the kind used to deal with Kaito Kid, do they?

Why not use cages, nets, or other miscellaneous things to restrict Kaito Kid's movements when dealing with him? Why are there things like hidden mechanisms or secret doors on the walls here?

Isn't this just to make it easier for Phantom Thief Kid to escape after stealing things?

Kaito Kid and Jirokichi Suzuki are mortal enemies.

What reason does Jirokichi Suzuki have for helping Kaito Kid so much? Is it a love-hate relationship? Or is it love born from hatred?

Just as Hattori Heiji was internally complaining...

Chen En looked up at Hattori Heiji and asked.

"How did you and Conan know I was here?"

Logically speaking, Heiji Hattori and Conan shouldn't know he's here.

Could it be that Noah's Ark reported his location to Conan?

Hakinoa seems to be lacking in love.

I want to give him a complete childhood!

"Oh dear, that's easy."

Hattori Heiji put his hands behind his head and said with a grin.

"This is all thanks to Kudo."

"I can't find you by myself."

Conan: ?

What are you saying, you naturally evil charcoal head?

He subconsciously looked up at Hattori Heiji, with an expression that said, "How did you say that?"

Heiji Hattori immediately realized that he might have let something slip.

However, Hattori Heiji couldn't make amends.

Sonoko Suzuki stroked her chin and asked with some confusion.

Why mention Kudo?

"This is all thanks to Kudo? But Shinichi Kudo hasn't been in Tokyo at all during this time. Ah, are you that close to that kid Kudo? I don't think so..."

"I've never seen the two of you together before."

Chen En: ?

Now you can see it.

He turned his head to look at Hattori Heiji.

Let's see how this Osaka pun king handles it?

Heiji Hattori certainly did not disappoint him.

The famous detective from Kansai said without hesitation.

"Ah, you misheard me, no, I didn't mean Kudo."

He glanced down at Conan, who was giving him a disapproving look.

In a moment of quick thinking, he said...

"I'm right!"

"You know, I can only maximize my reasoning ability when I'm excited. So, because I was so excited, I was able to find Chen En through my own efforts!"

(やくどう/yakudou), Kudo (kudo).

Although it's not quite right to put it together right now, it seems like this is the only pun that can be used in this situation.

"...?"

Sonoko Suzuki was somewhat puzzled.

She nodded as if she understood, without asking any further questions, only muttering to herself.

Why use such an easily misunderstood word?

Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko didn't press the matter further, Hattori Heiji quickly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Chen En, I came here to fight Phantom Thief Kid with you!"

"Oh my, isn't this gentleman next to me the famous Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki, the advisor to the Suzuki Foundation? I've heard that you're quite capable of dealing with Phantom Thief Kid. Please let me join your team!"

"To be honest, I'm a famous high school detective from Kansai."

"Compared to the famous Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, Shinichi Kudo... No, perhaps I have far surpassed Shinichi Kudo back then. I am absolutely in a class of my own as a top-tier high school detective!"

Conan: ?

I'm so angry, but I can't argue back.

Although he didn't care much about these empty titles, seeing Hattori Heiji taunting him so closely still made him want to give Hattori Heiji a good thrashing, or even a shot.

"Oh, so it's the famous high school detective from Kansai!"

Although Suzuki Jirokichi had never heard of Hattori Heiji's title or name.

But since Hattori Heiji is so discerning, even if this person is a fraud, he's determined to take him!

He spoke in a gentle and pleasant manner.

"Oh, I see."

"But why are you going after Phantom Thief Kid? And even teaming up with Arn?"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji turned his hat around.

Pointing to himself with his right thumb, he said confidently.

"Of course it's because I, the famous detective from Kansai, Heiji Hattori, have never fought against Kaito Kid."

"Dealing with Phantom Thief Kid is an essential activity that every famous detective has to do. It can be called the top of the detective's must-do list. How can I prove my worth if I don't deal with Phantom Thief Kid?"

"I believe that Chen En, who is also a famous detective, would not let this opportunity pass by, which is why I said that!"

"After all, he previously claimed in front of me that he surpassed Sherlock Holmes, the world's most famous detective... uh, I mean..."

He had barely finished speaking when he realized something was wrong.

However, before he could remedy the situation, he immediately realized that Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki seemed completely unsurprised, as if they already knew Chen En's true identity.
