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

Chapter 917 If Phantom Thief Kid dares to attack, he will surely suffer a crushing defeat!

Just as Koizumi Akako was agonizing over this for a long time, she finally decided to flip through the book again.

Inside the secret base of Phantom Thief Kid.

Kaito Kuroba and Chikage Kuroba are making final preparations for tomorrow's operation.

However, Chikage Kuroba was still somewhat surprised by the various strange and wonderful gadgets that Kaito Kuroba brought out, and felt that as a former phantom thief, she was indeed a bit out of touch with the times.

However, when I think back to how Kuroba Toichi was also startled by the flying glider that Kuroba Kaito brought out, I realize that Kuroba Toichi was also taken aback.

Kuroba Chikage then felt that this might not be so unacceptable after all.

However, even so, when it comes to the creator of these wonderful gadgets, namely Professor Agasa, Chikage Kuroba can't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"How exactly did Professor Agasa create so many amazing gadgets?"

Is this really scientifically sound?

Hearing this, Kaito Kuroba said without even looking up.

"Why aren't you studying Ke Xue anymore? I think it's very Ke Xue."

"Professor Agasa has a real doctoral degree."

“I’m a high school student and you’re a college student. The two of us combined haven’t studied as long as Professor Agasa. He’s talking about science, so how could we possibly know more about science than him?”

As he spoke, he hung his magical little gadgets on his belt.

It must be said that the all-purpose belt that Dr. Agasa provided, the same one used by Batman, is indeed very useful.

Storage capacity has been greatly improved compared to before.

If it weren't for Professor Agasa's all-purpose belt, he might have quickly fallen into a disadvantageous position in his gadget battle with Conan, and if that got out, he would probably be laughed at to death.

A well-prepared magician may not have as many props as a detective lying in wait.

"...What you're saying makes sense."

Kuroba Chikage nodded, seemingly understanding.

The moment he thought of her, Kaito Kuroba, and Toichi Kuroba—their combined education level didn't even match that of Professor Agasa—all his questions were instantly answered.

This is the power of expert authority.

She didn't need to pack up her own magic props.

Compared to the huge pile of miscellaneous magic props that Kaito Kuroba prepared, which looked to be twice his height, Chikage Kuroba only needed to carry smoke bombs, a grappling hook gun, and her most frequently used telescopic axe.

So, while Kaito Kuroba was still packing up his magic props, Chikage Kuroba sat down to the side and used her laptop to look through the interior layout of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall once again.

Although the Suzuki Group may not necessarily stand on the opposite side this time.

However, the Suzuki Foundation will definitely leave many traps and mechanisms inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

If those two phantom thieves hadn't been assassinated by the mysterious organization and crashed their plane, but instead accidentally fell into the traps and mechanisms at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, then it would truly be a case of "a moment's mistake leading to eternal regret."

"...However, this time the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will probably be on our side again."

"I get the feeling that Inspector Nakamori is going to cause trouble, Kaito. Do you have any good ideas on how to deal with Inspector Nakamori? You Phantom Thief Kid are the best at going up against Inspector Nakamori, aren't you?"

Kuroba Chikage rested her chin on her hand and muttered softly.

Upon hearing Chikage Kuroba's question, Kaito Kuroba answered without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter whether Uncle Nakamori is here or not."

"It's better to say that it's better with him around."

"If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department replaces Inspector Nakamori and lets another inspector take over the operation to arrest me, that would be really bad. He's my hidden ally."

...That's certainly true.

If Nakamori Ginzan hadn't brought Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers with him on the outside during the Four Gods Organization incident, Kaito Kuroba probably wouldn't have been able to quickly break into the Four Gods Organization.

If that monstrous high school student were to resolve all the issues at hand...

Then Phantom Thief Kid will really be fighting Kyogoku Makoto and Conan in an octagonal cage in a closed environment. After the fight, it will probably be a situation where everyone is waiting for their turn, and relatives and friends are waiting for the food to be served. It's a sight to behold.

"However, Inspector Nakamori has failed so many times in a row."

"Is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department still putting Inspector Nakamori in charge?"

Chikage Kuroba shifted her gaze from the laptop to Kaito Kuroba and asked curiously.

"He's inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, does he have some kind of connection?"

what is the relationship?

Does the fact that he and Chaki Shintaro, the superintendent of the First Investigative Division, shared a place in the intensive care unit count?

Kaito Kuroba thought to himself.

In a place unknown to Kaito Kuroba and Chikage Kuroba.

Ginzo Nakamori is in contact with Shintaro Chaki.

"This is what the supervising officer of the First Investigative Division said righteously."

"Brother Nakamori, don't worry about it, leave the rest to me."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. When it comes to dealing with Phantom Thief Kid, absolutely no one can take your place. Just go for it, I'll be your strongest support!"

The main concern is if Nakamori Ginzo is laid off, and no other police inspector is willing to fill the vacancy.

As the superintendent of the First Investigation Division, he was truly going to personally take up the post to fill the vacancy left by Nakamori Ginzo. Even if it was just to prevent a repeat of the consequences of dealing with Kaito Kid last time, Chaki Shintaro absolutely could not let Nakamori Ginzo fall.

Without Nakamori Ginzo to shoulder the consequences of Kaito Kid's actions, how will the First Investigation Division handle things?

Even if Nakamori Ginzo were to be replaced, it would have to wait until another inspector was willing to take over Nakamori Ginzo's position to deal with Kaito Kid. In any case, he would never fill the vacancy left by Nakamori Ginzo.

Ginzo Nakamori, who was at home planning how to defend the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall the next day, was quite moved.

He spoke earnestly to Chaki Shintaro on the other end of the phone.

"Manager Chamu, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down."

"It is our duty to restore the glory of the First Investigative Division."

"If Phantom Thief Kid dares to attack, I will make sure he suffers a crushing defeat!"

Ochagi Jintaro:?

I'm almost starting to believe what you're saying.

But so far, your win rate against Kaito Kid seems to be 0%, right?

Oh well, I don't really expect Nakamori Ginzo to be able to take down Kaito Kid anyway. As long as he's still holding off Kaito Kid, that's enough.

Chaki Shintaro immediately said.

"Then this matter is entirely in your hands, Inspector Nakamori!"

"By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, Hakuba Saguru will be going to the scene with you. Remember to follow Hakuba Saguru's instructions. I believe you should be quite familiar with that famous detective, since you've worked together before."

"That's all for now. I wish you all the best!"

...Why is it Hakuba Saguru again?

Nakamori Ginzo couldn't help but think to himself.

However, considering that Chaki Shintaro has treated him fairly well, he decided not to make things difficult for Chaki the manager. Anyway, it wasn't the first time, so it didn't matter. Bringing Hakuba Saguru along wouldn't make any difference.

Chapter 918 I treated you like a superhero, and you're using me to settle scores, huh?

There's no other reason why Hakuba Saguru would send such a message to Chaki Shintaro.

Because he had already received a text message from Chen En.

The text message contained information about the Dragon Horse Exhibition.

Just as Chen En had guessed, Hakuba Saguru would not let go of the opportunity to deal with the codenamed assassin of the mysterious organization, even if it wasn't for his own pursuit as a famous detective.

It was solely to avenge the ambush he suffered in Canada by the Spider and the Purple Witch.

He absolutely cannot miss the counter-ambush plan against Spider and the Purple Witch at the Ryoma Exhibition tomorrow.

Since it has been decided that I will participate in Chen En and the others' counter-ambush plan against the Spider and the Purple Witch tomorrow, I will naturally be present at the scene.

In that case, it would be necessary to contact Inspector Nakamori within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who will be in charge of the Ryoma Exhibition tomorrow.

However, based on Hakuba Saguru's limited experience of contacting Nakamori Ginzo, he could conclude that Inspector Nakamori, who was said to have been entangled with Kaito Kid for more than ten years, was completely an amateur when it came to dealing with Kaito Kid.

They are the type who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

Therefore, instead of contacting Inspector Nakamori directly, it would be better to contact Inspector Nakamori's superior, Chaki Shintaro.

It's said that a higher rank can crush a person, and if Chaki Shintaro is there to vouch for him, I believe that Nakamori Ginzo will follow his orders tomorrow on the spot, so as not to delay the counter-ambush plan against the mysterious organization codenamed Assassin.

"Tomorrow is the day to begin our revenge against the Purple Witch and the Spider."

"Once tomorrow's operation is over, our cooperation will be completely terminated, so you should be fine, right? If you are, you'd better speak up as soon as possible."

"If you come up with some random excuse tomorrow saying something came up unexpectedly."

"Then I cannot guarantee that your final payment will appear in your account at the originally scheduled time."

Hakuba Saguru made up his mind and then looked up at the North American exorcist beside him.

Although the person in front of me is the number one exorcist in North America, his magical abilities are beyond doubt.

However, because his personal character is so bad, even an honest gentleman like Hakuba Saguru has to be wary of North American exorcists to avoid being scammed by them like he was in Canada last time.

Upon hearing Hakuba Saguru's words, the North American exorcist shrugged and then casually replied, feigning indifference.

"Of course, of course, there will be no problem with tomorrow's operation."

"Why do you distrust me so much, Mr. White Horse? Our cooperation has been going on for almost half a month now. Don't you trust my abilities and character?"

"As everyone knows, I am the most ethical exorcist in all of North America!"
