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

The North American exorcist was talking to Hakuba Saguru with a grin.

Just as the Gold Watch Group members were eavesdropping on Kazami Yuya's conversation, the North American exorcists were also eavesdropping on Morofushi Takaaki's conversation. Therefore, the entire conversation between Morofushi Takaaki and Kazami Yuya was in the hands of the North American exorcists and the Gold Watch Group members.

Of course, there were actually more than two. Chen En was also using a bugging device to eavesdrop on the conversation between Morofushi Takaaki and Kazami Yuya, and he had installed bugging devices on both of them.

However, Chen En's actions were a professional habit; he subconsciously placed two.

This is completely different from the actions of North American exorcists and members of the Gold Watch Group. How can superheroes' eavesdropping be called eavesdropping? That's called gathering useful intelligence to serve the public!

"Hard to say."

Hakuba Saguru said casually.

Upon hearing this, the North American exorcist frowned and asked in confusion.

"Oh, what do you mean by that? Are you questioning my professional abilities?"

"Let me tell you, you can question my professional ethics, but you absolutely cannot question my ability to question. The so-called 'word magic' should be used to induce drastic emotional changes in the controlled person through words, thereby breaking the magical control."

"But that red-hooded one is either controlled by the Purple Witch or by that spider."

"You encountered the Purple Witch and the Spider in Canada before. You know how strong their control abilities are, otherwise how could I have run away so quickly?"

"What's so hard to say? It's as if you've ever seen someone break free from magical control without using magic."

Upon hearing the North American exorcist's words, Hakuba turned his head to look at the North American exorcist.

He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.

The North American exorcist's expression changed several times before he said incredulously.

"are you serious?"

"Is it really possible for someone to break free from magical control through sheer willpower? Who are you talking about? You're not telling me it's that superhero who jumped out of the comics, are you?"

After the North American exorcist gave a clear answer, Hakuba Saguru nodded slightly.

About a month ago.

"Spider ambushed Phantom Thief Kid and Batman on the rooftop of the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall. A fierce battle ensued, and in the end, Batman broke free from Spider's illusionary control without relying on any magical effects and banished Spider."

"Although I didn't witness everything that happened on the rooftop, based on what I learned later, it should be pretty much the same... Sometimes you can't be too certain about what's going on."

"Perhaps Rei Furuya could do it too; after all, he's an elite member of the Japanese Public Security Forces."

There's also the Japanese "Wolf Warrior."

The North American exorcist was speechless at Hakuba Saguru's words.

Don't you want to laugh at yourself for saying that?

Although I don't know exactly what Rei Furuya did, it's hard to believe that he could break free from illusion control just by relying on his willpower, like Batman.

Do you really think Batman is even human?

He thought to himself.

But in the end, he still didn't tell Hakuba Saguru what he knew about Batman.

This is extra information and intelligence, which can be released at a crucial moment and sold for a good price. There's absolutely no need to give it away to Hakuba Saguru for free; that would be a huge loss. He's not the kind of person who would lose money.

"Let's go to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall now and meet Batman first."

"That most famous detective of the 20th century has probably already figured out how to deal with the attack from the mysterious organization, and if I'm not mistaken, Inspector Nakamori has already rushed over to set up a perimeter. We can't afford not to keep an eye on things."

At this point, Hakuba Saguru muttered to himself.

This Nakamori Ginzo has always been more trouble than he's worth.

If he hadn't kept an eye on things, this guy might have created a huge mess and completely ruined Batman's plans. In a sense, that's a powerful talent.

And the situation turned out exactly as Hakuba Saguru had predicted.

Ginzo Nakamori, along with members of the Second Investigation Division, sped off from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in a police car, completely ignoring Hakuba Saguru and the North American exorcist who were still sitting at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

When it comes to dealing with Kaito Kid, Hakuba Saguru is simply an amateur.

At most, he risked his novice protection period and let Phantom Thief Kid suffer a slight loss.

But to truly defeat Kaito Kid, you still have to rely on Ginzo Nakamori.

He is the archenemy of Phantom Thief Kid, and has been fighting with him for more than ten years!

No one knows better than him how to face Phantom Thief Kid!

That's the value of seniority!

He had originally planned to bring along the batch of newly acquired American equipment that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had previously provided, but after being scolded by Superintendent Chaki Shintaro, he gave up on the idea.

There's no other reason, mainly because Chaki Shintaro couldn't withstand the pressure from above.

The last time Ginzo Nakamori applied for these equipment, it was completely useless, and it even allowed Kaito Kid to escape along the Tsutsumi River. Giving it to him would be a complete waste, and it would be better to keep it for future needs.

Although Inspector Nakamori was indignant about this, he ultimately gave up on pursuing the matter.

There aren't many bosses as good at taking the blame as Chaki Shintaro anymore.

Every one you use is one less, so use them while you can.

Fortunately, Aoko wasn't planning to go to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall this time to see how he dealt with Kaito Kid. Otherwise, she would probably be very disappointed if he didn't bring out those American-style gadgets...

It's quite a coincidence that Qingzi's classmates invited him out for a team-building activity.

I heard that the team building event was organized by a transfer student named Koizumi Akako in her class. I'll have to find a chance to meet Koizumi Akako next time and see what this popular student in the class is like.

However, what Nakamori Ginzo didn't know was that there was a team-building event at Ekoda High School.

Although this team building activity was spearheaded by Akako Koizumi.

However, Koizumi Akako herself was not present at the team-building event, which left Nakamori Aoko, who was there to participate, somewhat bewildered. But seeing that her classmates seemed to be enjoying themselves, she decided not to dwell on it anymore.

Don't ask, the answer is just keep playing the music and keep dancing!

I'm so happy here, I don't miss home at all!

Koizumi Akako herself was naturally preparing a magical ritual, ready to confront the Purple Witch later.

If it weren't to prevent Nakamori Aoko from attracting Kuroba Kaito's attention at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, she wouldn't have bothered to organize any team-building activities and even have her butler host them.

"With that, the preparations should be complete."

Koizumi Akako muttered to herself.

Chapter 927 What? The katana in my hand is the genuine article?

"Oh my god, is this the Dragon Horse's treasure?"

Inside the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall.

Yukiko Kudo stood in front of the display case, admiring the Ryoma treasures inside.

Although she had previously said that she would decide for herself whether the dragon-horse treasures here were fakes.

But in reality, Yukiko Kudo has no idea how to appraise antiques.

Otherwise, as Yusaku Kudo mentioned earlier, Yukiko Kudo would not have frequently bought counterfeit Ryoma Treasures, and the frequency was so high that Yusaku Kudo decided to tell Yukiko Kudo to stay out of Ryoma Treasures.

"I think it looks authentic, so why would anyone say it's a fake?"

Yukiko Kudo looked at the calligraphy and paintings inside and said softly.

She spoke softly because there were many visitors inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Of course, fewer people like Sakamoto Ryoma, but more people like Kaito Kid.

Everyone's actually here to see how Kaito Kid returns Ryoma's treasure, hoping to get in early and secure a good spot so they don't have to squeeze in around 8 o'clock...

However, they were clearly disappointed.

Generally speaking, the security measures at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall are not so strict that each person can only visit for one hour and the number of visitors is limited.

Unfortunately, with Chen En and Noah's Ark in charge on-site, they could precisely remove visitors who exceeded the time limit.

This is to ensure that the number of exhibitors inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall is kept within a range that can be locked in one go by a robotic arm.

Therefore, those who came in only to find out that they couldn't stay here until 8 pm for the exhibition had no choice but to think that since they were already here, they might as well take a look at the Dragon Horse Treasures before going back, which would be a good way to get their money's worth, so they wandered around and looked around.

If Kudo Yukiko's words were to reach the mouths of these exhibitors, things would get very complicated.

That would be like stirring up trouble and alerting the enemy.

"If you ask whether it's true or not, then it is indeed quite true."

Yusaku Kudo stood beside Yukiko Kudo, his gaze fixed on the letter from Ryoma in front of him.

As one of the world's top mystery novelists, he made his statement with a single glance.

"These were all written by machine, piece by piece, according to the handwriting left by Sakamoto Ryoma. As for whether they are real or not, they are definitely real, but the time may be last week."

After all, in this world, the vast majority of so-called calligraphy, paintings, cultural relics, and antiques are...

In fact, the techniques involved are all within the range that machines can reproduce.

The reason these things seem expensive is not because they are so rare now, but simply because of their long history and the human craftsmanship involved.

You can make as many copies as you want, and they'll only be more durable and robust than the original.

"The week before last?"

Yukiko Kudo covered her mouth in surprise.

She still found it hard to believe; clearly, she was out of touch with the times. Even though she looked like a young girl, she had actually become an old woman inside.

Conan, who was standing nearby, muttered to himself.

Why should an old woman pretend to be a virgin?

However, although he thought this way, he wouldn't say it out loud.

It wasn't because he was afraid of Yukiko Kudo's authority, but simply because he respected his parents.

Not everyone can be like Heiji Hattori, directly calling their own mother "old lady."
