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

In a critical situation, Kaito Kuroba used his superior memory to quickly figure out what Chen En was referring to.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said,

"There were only fifty Easter eggs in total, and they have all been collected."

"Where did the Suzuki Group get these Easter eggs? The fifty-first? Even if it is the fifty-first, I have no reason to steal them. They're not jewels, why would I steal them?"

"Blowing up the substation is even more absurd. You can search my base and find some explosives, which I'll give to you."

Chen En stared at Kuroba Kaito for a while.

With a thought, he brought up the system.

I was puzzled when I realized that the system still hadn't displayed the security task completion page.

He certainly knew that in the Conan canon, "The Magician of the End of the Century" was like a dark chapter in history.

But now that Pu Siqinglan has appeared, how can the plot of this thing change?

Chen En turned to look at the people who had just entered the base.

Terai Kinosuke looked at Kuroba Kaito and Chen En with a puzzled expression.

The old housekeeper thought Chen En was doing some kind of performance art with a salted fish.

He put down the tray he was carrying and prepared to leave without making a sound.

"I...I won't bother you, I'll be going now."

"Wait, you can't leave."

Chen En called out to Terai Kinosuke.

Immediately, Terai Kinosuke turned around, hesitated for a moment, and then said,

“Young Master Chen En, your salted fish has no deterrent effect on me.”

Chen En: ?

Did I stop you because of the salted fish?

Chen En tossed the salted fish aside, patted Terai Kinosuke on the shoulder, and said seriously,

"Do you believe me if I say that Kaito Kuroba will blow up a substation in Tokyo soon?"

Terai Huangnosuke:?

I couldn't understand it, I was utterly shocked!

Terai Kinosuke wore an incredulous expression.

Before Terai Kinosuke could say anything, Chen En patted him on the shoulder and gave him some instructions.

"We absolutely cannot let Kaito Kuroba do that, do you understand, Butler Terai?"

"Otherwise, I'll really have to put him on a high level!"

Upon hearing this, Terai Kinosuke nodded repeatedly.

Even if Chen En hadn't mentioned that last part, he would never have let Kuroba Kaito blow up the substation.

If the whole city loses power, countless people will die in hospitals alone.

Including him, none of the three generations of Phantom Thief Kid have blood on their hands.

We absolutely cannot let Kaito Kuroba's generation break the tradition.

And this was all while Master Daoyi was still alive!

Seeing Chen En and Terai Kinosuke looking so serious.

Kaito Kuroba fell silent.

There's a feeling I can't quite describe.

Alright, after I finish this business, I'll take a few days off and go to the United States to visit my parents.

Batman can't just go crazy and say he's going to blow up the substation, can he?

During the time that Kaito Kuroba remained silent.

The doorbell rang abruptly.

This sound came from the front door of the Kuroba family's house, indicating that someone has come to visit.

"I'm not going to talk about this anymore. Okay, I'm leaving now."

"Officer Nakamori specifically asked me to come and accompany him to check out the security measures at the site."

Kaito Kuroba placed his hands behind his head.

He walked out without any of the air of a legendary phantom thief.

Watching Kaito Kuroba's shadow gradually disappear.

Chen En stroked his chin and then asked,

"Butler Terai, do you know what position the consultant the Suzuki family has hired, Urashi Seiran, holds?"

"It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign land, so I need to talk to her about something."

Terai Huangnosuke:?

Is it really true?

Chapter 101 Kaito Kuroba, you are the Phantom Thief Kid!

In the afternoon, at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall.

In the morning, I accompanied Chen En to visit the Suzuki Sonoko exhibition hall, and in the afternoon, I brought Ran Mouri and others to visit the second one.

Although Hakuba Saguru also received an offer.

But the destination is the same, so it doesn't matter who brings them in.

Kogoro Mouri moved among the exhibits in the various exhibition halls, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.

It must be said that the Suzuki Group's wealth is truly enormous.

If he were to collect the artifacts from these exhibition halls...

I'm afraid even if I worked as a detective my whole life, I wouldn't earn enough commission to buy the lowest-priced item among them!

"It's so good to be rich."

Kogoro Mouri remarked sincerely.

He said the exact same thing back then, in front of the villa of the Changmen Group.

However, there was a degree of flattery involved in speaking well of the housekeeper at the time.

This time, however, they were genuinely astonished by the Suzuki family's wealth.

However, as surprising as it may seem.

Kogoro Mouri, however, did not forget the important reason for his visit.

Enjoying the exhibits is something Ran and Sonoko, who came along, can do. He's still on the important task of helping the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department check the security measures here to see if they're adequate!

After all, he was Hakuba Saguru's senior when it came to dealing with Kaito Kid!

Standing next to Kogoro Mouri, Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri, who suddenly burst into laughter, somewhat speechless.

If he weren't an old acquaintance, he would have really thought that Kogoro Mouri had some kind of mental problem.

This guy probably just suddenly came up with a great idea to brag about.

Then he burst into laughter, ready to put it into practice.

Conan was too lazy to observe Kogoro Mouri's expression any further.

He quickened his pace, reaching the pink sapphire. He lay down on the safety line, curiously gazing up at what was considered the largest pink sapphire in history.

This thing is really big.

It's bigger than Conan himself; it's hard to imagine what method Kaito Kid would use to get this thing out of there.

This is not a typical small gem like the Black Star that you can carry in your pocket.

If Conan were to think about this problem...

He felt that Phantom Thief Kid might be about to use his old tricks again.

That was when Conan was still Shinichi Kudo, and it was his first encounter with Kaito Kid.

At the time, Phantom Thief Kid threatened to steal the clock tower's time.

And indeed, the hour, minute, and second hands of the clock tower disappeared into thin air.

Many people say that Kaito Kid really did steal time.

However, Conan snatched the policeman's pistol at that moment and fired at the clock tower.

As it turns out, Phantom Thief Kid couldn't steal something that big.

He simply found a clock with the exact same design, but without the hour, minute, and second hands, and hung it up.

To be honest, Conan didn't consider Kaito Kid a rival back then.

So much so that when Ran and the others mentioned the name Kaito Kid later, Conan couldn't remember who it was.

It wasn't until he first met Kaito Kid on the top floor of the Beika Hotel under the moonlight that things changed.

Conan suddenly remembered that he had already fought against the Phantom Thief Kid.

There are only two ways to steal the pink sapphire here.

They opened the skylight and pulled the pink sapphire up from the bottom, then carried it out through the gap in the ceiling. Otherwise, they used the usual trickery to make people think the pink sapphire had been stolen.

"What possibility could it be..."

Conan stroked his chin.
