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

If it weren't for the presence of Phantom Thief Kid and the mysterious organization, and the fact that Yukiko Kudo likes Ryoma's treasures, he probably wouldn't have come to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Instead of coming to see Ryoma's treasure, I'd rather stay home and watch the new episodes of Kamen Rider.

That way, we can go back and analyze the plot with the members of the Junior Detective Club...

Almost simultaneously.

Chen En glanced up at the clock displayed in the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, estimated the time, and immediately realized that Phantom Thief Kid had entered the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall and was preparing to take action.

He naturally knew how Phantom Thief Kid would resolve this farce.

The so-called use of heavy rain to cleanse the place of its filth was actually a plan to use flames to trigger the fire alarm inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, thereby causing the water in the fire safety mechanism to fall.

The water will wash away the forgeries and completely expose the true nature of Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke.

However, he made some preparations for this.

Because the mysterious organization codenamed Killer Salamander, whose true abilities are still unknown, seems to have the ability to control fire or be related to fire, it is necessary to increase the quantity and quality of fire prevention devices.

At most, Kaito Kid can only activate a portion of the fire safety mechanisms.

For the remaining fires, the safety authorities controlled the triggering devices, with him and Ai Haibara, who was far away inside the Bat Cave, respectively.

If the true ability of the member codenamed Salamander is indeed the ability to manipulate fire or something similar, then these fire safety agencies would definitely surprise him.

Before that, Chen En's gaze fell on Suzuki Sonoko beside him.

"Sonoko, it's almost time. Let me take you back to the control room first."

"The scene might get a little chaotic, and... I think with your physical condition, it'll be hard for you not to catch a cold during the upcoming Phantom Thief Kid operation."

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

What does it mean to say it's hard not to catch a cold?

Sonoko Suzuki was somewhat confused and couldn't understand what Chen En was referring to, but since Chen En had said so, she didn't intend to refuse.

The reason she came to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall to visit Ryoma's treasures was simply because she was bored in the control room.

Chen En accompanied her to stroll around the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall for this very reason. Otherwise, given Chen En's Batman-like personality, he probably would have been hiding in some shadowy spot preparing an ambush long ago.

Now that the baby is about to arrive, she can't waste any more of Chen En's time here.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Sonoko Suzuki nodded and readily agreed.

As Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En walked towards the stairwell leading to the control room, Hattori Heiji's eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately realized the problem and unconsciously placed his hand on his backpack.

Although it's not entirely clear whether the famous sword Ye Caisan got for him is the genuine katana used by Sakamoto Ryoma.

But since he's already been given the katana, he'll naturally use it.

If you're afraid to fight even if you have an antique sword, then what's the point of having a sword?

He glanced around the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall and saw that Conan had perfectly blended into the crowd and disappeared without a trace. He immediately smirked and cursed under his breath, "Cunning Kudo."

It seems he won't be able to get any help in this operation against Phantom Thief Kid.

It must be admitted that, despite Kudo's condition, there are many things he cannot do.

However, his size clearly allows him to blend perfectly into the crowd in most situations, much like the assassins in the Assassin's Creed series who can instantly eliminate hatred once they blend into the crowd.

"I think I'll just go and wait for people by the door."

Hattori Heiji muttered to himself.

The back door here is blocked; if members of the mysterious organization want to get in, they can only do so through the front door.

With his intelligence as a famous detective from Kansai, wouldn't he be able to see through the true identities of the mysterious organization members at a glance and then launch a surprise attack?

Don't ask, the answer is that the advantage lies with me.

However, Kudo has already disappeared from the side of Kudo Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku. The Phantom Thief Kid should have already entered the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall. Why is there no hint from Noah's Ark?

Couldn't they see through Kaito Kid's disguise on Noah's Ark?

Well, I heard Noah's Ark is only a 10-year-old child, so we can't be too harsh on him...

At this very moment, members of the mysterious organization had also set their sights on the entrance to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

This time, the mysterious organization has called upon all the assassins from the outskirts of Beika Town.

Although puzzled as to why the Suzuki Foundation would install such a high-precision security door at the entrance of the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, it did cause considerable trouble for the mysterious organization, which led them to change their strategy.

Bringing weapons directly into the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall would result in a direct confrontation with both the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Suzuki Foundation security personnel.

Why not send one person into the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall first, see that Kaito Kid has indeed appeared, and then notify the main force to rush in directly?

If we act swiftly and decisively, like a blitzkrieg, wouldn't there be far fewer problems?

With this in mind, we passed through the disguised spider and red hood and entered the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Chapter 931 The Malfunctioning Monitoring System

"The time is exactly 8 p.m."

Ginzo Nakamori, who had been keeping watch outside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, had already entered the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall. Standing in front of the treasure return area that Jirokichi Suzuki had marked out for Kaito Kid in advance, he scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"What's going on? It's already 8 o'clock, and the treasure still hasn't been returned?"

“Kaito Kid has never been late, could it be…”

Nakamori Ginzo muttered to himself, then suddenly realized something.

"Kaito Kid must be afraid of my strength as his nemesis!"

The other two officers from the Second Investigation Division standing next to Nakamori Ginzo exchanged glances, then wisely looked away, deciding not to stoop to Nakamori Ginzo's level.

This Inspector Nakamori is a veteran police officer transferred from the Hong Kong Police Force.

He used to specialize in dealing with Phantom Thief Kid; he's a veteran.

At first, the Second Investigation Division thought that Inspector Nakamori's strength should not be underestimated, which is why he could become the nemesis of Phantom Thief Kid.

In the first trailer for The Darkest Star, Ginzo Nakamori did indeed see through the Phantom Thief Kid's trailer and accurately caught him on the roof of the Beika Grand Hotel, only to accidentally let him escape.

However, he unexpectedly reached his peak upon his debut, and after that, he never saw through the contents of Kaito Kid's previews again.

If it weren't for the fact that no one wanted to deal with Phantom Thief Kid, Nakamori Ginzo would probably have been suspended and left to recuperate at home long ago. Rather than saying that Phantom Thief Kid was afraid of Nakamori Ginzo's reputation, it would be more accurate to say that he was afraid of Kudo Yusaku's reputation.

This world-class mystery novelist had his fair share of clashes with the Phantom Thief Kid when he was in Tokyo.

No matter how you look at it, Kudo Yusaku's strength is ten times, or even nine times, stronger than Nakamori Ginzo.

Seeing this scene, both Tarumi Inohiko and Hanamura Masanosuke felt their hearts sink.

Seriously? Dude, you're the nationally renowned phantom thief!

How could you give up after encountering such a small setback?

If you don't return these treasures, won't we really end up going to jail?

Just as the many onlookers were surprised that Kaito Kid had not yet made a move, a staff member from inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall suddenly exclaimed.

"It's a treasure! Phantom Thief Kid has returned the treasure!"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall immediately turned their attention to the location of the staff member.

Above the display case exhibiting Ryoma's letters and the Jewel Gun Belt, the three treasures that Kaito Kid said he would return were neatly arranged, leaving the onlookers in awe.

At that moment, Conan, who had just come out of the restroom, looked down at the threshold and silently took a step back, retreating from the main part of the exhibition hall.

Because he knew it was going to rain.

When Kaito Kid talks about using torrential rain to attack filth, he is referring to using water inside a fire-fighting security facility.

However, Conan had just taken a step back when he was grabbed by the back of his collar. He was immediately suspended in mid-air, baring his teeth and claws as if he was about to breathe on something, and then he turned around and found that it was Hattori Heiji.

Conan: ?

Why are you pulling on the back of my collar when you have nothing better to do?

"I was wondering where you went, but I didn't expect you to go to the bathroom."

"So, you were just talking to Phantom Thief Kid in the bathroom?"

Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow and said this.

Hearing this, Conan said in an annoyed tone.

Isn't that obvious?

"If Kaito Kid were to carry the bag into the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, it would attract too much attention. Therefore, Kaito Kid will only carry the three treasures he wants to return with him in a different way."

"That's just to create a fake big belly."

"As long as he hides the three dragon-horse treasures to be returned inside his stomach, no one will notice his existence, because there are just too many fat guys out there, so there's nothing to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji nodded in realization.

He did see a pregnant woman come in through the security gate, but he didn't notice that the pregnant woman first went inside the exhibition hall and then went around to the restrooms.

However, just as Conan was about to ask Heiji Hattori if he had seen the codenamed assassin from the mysterious organization,

Conan suddenly shivered.

A look of shock flashed in his eyes. His gaze swept left and right before finally settling on the two men in black who had disappeared into the crowd. A look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Conan's appearance, Heiji Hattori realized that something unexpected had happened. He immediately let go of Conan and let him fall to the ground. He then quietly placed his hand on the hilt of his katana in his backpack and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Kudo, has something unexpected happened?"

Hearing this, Conan nodded solemnly and then said.

"My Black Organization detection radar has activated."

"There are members of the Black Organization nearby. If I'm not mistaken, it should be former Black Organization member codenamed Bourbon Whiskey, also known as Furuya Rei, who has already entered the exhibition hall and is now wearing the red hood."

"That guy's skin is only slightly fairer than yours, so he's quite conspicuous here. We should be able to spot him."

Hattori Heiji:?
