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

Then Suzuki Jirokichi said this.

"This Ryoma exhibition will be held at the Suzuki Foundation's Grand Exhibition Hall."

"This is a sure thing, there will be no surprises, and it has even been reported by the news media. We have also paid a high premium to the insurance company to ensure that the Longma Exhibition will proceed smoothly."

"If the two of you want to move the location of the Ryoma Exhibition at this time, or simply cancel the Ryoma Exhibition altogether."

“The interests of the Suzuki Group will be harmed as a result, and I will be very distressed about this.”

"I said with a smile," said Jirokichi Suzuki.

"I believe you two can understand my predicament, right?"

"Well, of course, if you two don't have enough empathy to understand my troubles, that's alright. Someone will let you experience my troubles in due time, so you can rest assured."

Tarumi Inohiko, Hanamura Masanosuke: ?

No, are you threatening both of us?

Tarumi Inohiko wanted to loudly rebuke Suzuki Jirokichi's behavior.

However, the Suzuki Group's power was simply too great.

So much so that he had to swallow back the words he was about to utter in anger.

The Suzuki Group is the most powerful financial conglomerate in the Kanto region in the public eye.

The sheer size of the Suzuki Group's economy is enough to rival that of the prime minister's family in the Kansai region. If the Suzuki Group were to really cause trouble for them, they would definitely not be able to leave Tokyo unscathed.

Moreover, Tokyo has been quite turbulent lately, and the exhibition hall is located in the Beika-cho area.

Just how strange and bizarre are the people in Beika Town?

Because of the numerous heinous murders previously discovered in Beika Town, they checked past news reports about Beika Town and found that the news they had seen before was nothing compared to the bigger picture.

What kind of yakuza forces are holding tens of thousands of spectators hostage at the Tokyo National Stadium? What kind of terrorists are trying to blow up Tokyo?

There were also all sorts of miscellaneous characters, including the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, each with a strange and grotesque appearance.

Even in the worst-case scenario...

If the Suzuki Group really wanted to take action against them, they might not even be able to leave Tokyo alive.

Therefore, Masanosuke Hanamura wisely put his phone back in his pocket.

He and Tarumi Inohiko exchanged a glance.

Each of them could see the helplessness and fear in their own hearts.

Tarumi Inohiko clapped his hands and quickly said.

"Yes, yes, yes, the Dragon Horse Exhibition is a must, we can't afford not to!"

"We must severely crack down on the arrogance of Phantom Thief Kid. The more advanced and comprehensive our anti-theft measures are, the better! Life without Phantom Thief Kid is truly a good life!"

However, after saying this, Tarumi Inohiko felt even more uneasy.

It seems that Suzuki Jirokichi's attitude towards the two of them hadn't been this bad before.

Could it be that they've found something?

It shouldn't be that bad... This isn't the first time a multinational counterfeit art syndicate has used this kind of tactic in Tokyo. They've never been caught before, so how could the Suzuki Foundation have discovered them in less than five days in Tokyo?

This time, all we can do is sincerely pray that Phantom Thief Kid is awesome.

If Kaito Kid is really as powerful as the legends say.

If all of Suzuki Jirokichi's elaborate security measures were rendered useless and all the treasures were stolen, that would be wonderful. He would not only have an excuse to escape from the control of the Suzuki Group together with Hanamura Masanosuke.

They could even use the stolen dragon-horse treasures to make a fortune by selling counterfeits, thus obtaining the initial capital to escape.

Go, Kaito Kid!

Tarumi Inohiko prayed in his heart.

He then gave an awkward smile and said...

"Well, since Advisor Suzuki already knows what's going on, we won't bother you any longer."

"We're leaving now."

After saying that, he hurriedly led Hanamura Masanosuke away from the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall as if fleeing.

Chapter 890 If you weren't my biological mother, I really would attack you.

"Tarumi Inohiko, antique collector. Hanamura Masanosuke, renowned appraiser."

Conan's gaze fell on the information sent by Professor Agasa on his phone screen.

You can find some of these online, albeit with some difficulty.

However, it is definitely not as comprehensive as the database that Professor Agasa found in Noah's Ark.

It doesn't contain such comprehensive content.

He had actually heard of Masanosuke Hanamura's reputation.

Although this appraiser is not well-known to the general public, he is still somewhat famous among people like Conan who have some knowledge of the subject. If Professor Agasa hadn't checked the Noah's Ark database and had just sent over some information found online...

Conan might still think that there's nothing wrong with Masanosuke Hanamura.

But after seeing the information that Dr. Agasa had sent him from the Noah's Ark database, he immediately realized that the famous appraiser, Masanosuke Hanamura, wasn't as professional as he seemed.

This guy seems to be a shady appraiser, specializing in turning other people's fakes into genuine ones.

The antique collector next to him, named Tarumi Inohiko, is even more of a heavyweight.

This person is suspected of trafficking counterfeit goods in other countries, but no legal evidence has been found to prove that he trafficked counterfeit goods. Moreover, this information has been buried under a massive amount of public opinion by the offensive of money.

All I saw was the combination of Hanamura Masanosuke and Tarumi Inohiko.

Conan and Heiji Hattori couldn't help but think of a possibility.

"...It looks a bit like a criminal organization that deliberately lets treasures go missing and then manufactures a large number of fakes to resell. I remember that the stolen Van Gogh paintings were resold in the same way."

Hattori Heiji said in a low voice.

In fact, Hattori Heiji thought that reselling counterfeit paintings would be much easier than reselling counterfeit antiques. After all, if someone buys a counterfeit, and they know a little about antiques, it's easy for them to tell that the counterfeit antique was from last week.

But forgeries are different, especially those forgeries of Van Gogh's masterpieces.

Because it is so classic, many people have created lifelike imitations. In fact, in a village in a mysterious Eastern country, there is a workshop painter who paints Van Gogh every day.

He can produce almost identical Van Gogh paintings as if they were wholesale...

"It's not just similar, it is."

Conan corrected Heiji Hattori's statement.

If what Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke did together was clearly a counterfeit goods trafficking ring's operation, then what Conan needs to do now is quite simple.

He then started texting Yukiko Kudo and Yusaku Kudo.

Meanwhile, Hattori Heiji's gaze turned slightly serious as he watched Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke prepare to leave.

He placed his hand on the brim of his hat and turned it slightly.

He was about to expose the trick that Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke were playing in front of everyone.

But then I saw Chen En's calm eyes.

The Night Knight of Beika Town merely glanced at him, which made Hattori Heiji abandon the idea of ​​exposing this in public, because he felt that Chen En probably already knew this.

Not only did Chen En already know this, but Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko probably knew it as well.

This explains Jirokichi Suzuki's hostile attitude towards the two men.

If it were anyone's own exhibition hall being used by counterfeiters for criminal schemes, they wouldn't be in a good mood either. Just being a little rude is already being the nicest of the nice; in a worse situation, they'd probably be sent straight to jail.

When Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke had completely disappeared from sight.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but ask.

“Old Bat, Uncle, and Sister Garden.”

"Those two were probably a group of dealers selling counterfeit cultural relics, right? You should have figured out their true identities by now, so why didn't you just report them to the police?"

"If this scheme continues, will many people fall for it?"

Hearing Hattori Heiji's question.

Suzuki Jirokichi was somewhat surprised, and nodded repeatedly, saying...

"Although I have already expressed my admiration for your detective skills."

"But now I have to say something more."

"I truly admire your talent as a detective. You were able to see that all the dragon-horse treasures around you were fakes, and you were able to tell at a glance that those two people were actually members of an antique forgery and trafficking ring."

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”

"However, the existing evidence is not enough to convict them both, so we want to use this Dragon Horse Show to catch them red-handed, which is why we asked them to continue holding the Dragon Horse Show."

"If we don't do this, it will be very difficult to find their fatal flaws."

Sonoko Suzuki, standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Conan's phone.

From the very beginning, Conan has been frantically sending messages to someone on his phone, and the speed is getting faster and faster, like he's on a fast-paced rhythm. Who exactly is he messaging?

Is it for that female Robin named Ai Haibara? Or for Ran?

Then Sonoko Suzuki noticed that Conan's face seemed a little red.

The reason Conan immediately sent messages to Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo after learning that it was a counterfeit goods trafficking group was because...

The reason, of course, is that Conan knows that his mother, Yukiko Kudo, is a die-hard Ryoma fan. If she knew there was a Ryoma exhibition here, she would definitely come to see it, and if any Ryoma treasures were found, she would definitely try to buy them.

This guy was the sucker chosen by the antiquities forgery and trafficking ring.

But no matter how much of a fool she is, she's still his mother, and he has to persuade her to go back.
