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

Suddenly, he heard Ran Mouri scream.

"S-Shinichi?!"

Conan: ?

What is it? I think I heard Ran say that she met him in Shibuya.

Why are they calling him Shinichi again? Is that guy who looked so much like me that I saw in Shibuya Ward back then reappearing?

Conan quickly turned to look at where Ran Mouri was.

Inside the exhibition hall, Inspector Nakamori, whom they had met once on the Queen Celeste, appeared with a girl who looked remarkably like Ran Mouri and a boy who looked remarkably like the original Shinichi Kudo.

Conan: ?

What is this? Another version of myself in the world?

It's one thing for them to look similar, but how can their configurations be so similar?

"Who is Shinichi?"

Nakamori Aoko covered her mouth in surprise.

The next moment, she turned to look at Kaito Kuroba, put her hands on her hips, leaned forward, and asked,

"Kaito, have you been using other aliases to scam girls?"

"If that's the case, I advise you to tell me as soon as possible."

Kaito Kuroba: ?

It's one thing if other people don't believe me, but why do you say that too?

Kaito Kuroba waved his hand and quickly said...

"Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Shinichi Kudo."

"I am Kaito Kuroba from Ekoda High School. This is my classmate Aoko Nakamori. I also know the Shinichi Kudo you are talking about, but I am really not Shinichi Kudo. You have really mistaken me for someone else."

Such an explanation seems somewhat weak and unconvincing.

However, Nakamori Aoko, who was standing next to him, stopped teasing Kuroba Kaito and explained,

"Yes, he's not that famous detective, but my friend Kaito Kuroba."

“We grew up together since we were little. If he is Shinichi Kudo, how could I not know?”

Conan, who had quickly positioned himself next to Ran Mouri, looked up.

He looked at the person who looked exactly like him, somewhat taken aback, but still spoke up.

"Yes, Shinichi-nii hasn't returned to Tokyo yet."

"Just people who look alike, right?"

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing.

Ran Mouri nodded with some skepticism.

However, Sonoko Suzuki, standing nearby, looked at Kaito Kuroba with suspicion.

Because she remembers it very clearly.

When they came out of the Tokyo Budokan, Chen En jokingly told her about this.

[The face hidden under Kaito Kid's monocle looks exactly like Shinichi Kudo.]

At the time, Sonoko Suzuki even complained about how it was possible for two strangers to look exactly alike.

But now she's not sure.

Because Kaito Kuroba really looks exactly like Shinichi Kudo.

If Kaito Kuroba didn't lack the overtly pretentious detective aura of Shinichi Kudo, Sonoko Suzuki would probably have thought that Shinichi Kudo had changed his name and identity to cause trouble.

'Could this person be Kaito Kid...?'

"Kaito Kuroba, you must be Kaito Kid!"

Sonoko Suzuki was thinking to herself when she was startled.

She instinctively covered her mouth, thinking she had blurted out her true feelings.

But at that very moment...

She then noticed that everyone was looking in another direction.

That's where Hakuba Saguru is!

“6月23日下午3点27分42秒，真正的怪盗基德在我面前现身了。”

"Am I right, Mr. Kuroba?"

Hakuba Saguru stood beside Inspector Nakamori and Uncle Mori.

It's clearly a question, but it's expressed as definitively as a statement!

Chapter 102 The Detective Whose Data Processing Abilities Rival a Computer

In front of everyone, Hakuba Saguru revealed this shocking truth.

Immediately, the group of people instinctively turned to look at Kaito Kuroba.

Kaito Kuroba felt his mind explode with a buzzing sound.

Dude, this is our first time meeting today, and you've already opened my box?

How did you find out my real identity?

Could it be that Batman set me up?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Kaito Kid is clearly a man over forty years old, he could never be Kaito!"

Inspector Nakamori was the first to react.

He stood by Kaito Kuroba without hesitation.

He said loudly,

"Hakuba Saguru, don't think you can frame people just because you're the son of the Superintendent General of Police!"

"Let me tell you, I, Nakamori Ginzo, have been chasing Kaito Kid for so many years, I can never be wrong about people! Kaito grew up right under my nose, do you think I don't know whether he is Kaito Kid or not?"

Nakamori Aoko, who was standing next to her, quickly chimed in.

"Yes, Kaito could never be Kaito Kid!"

"Otherwise, how could Kaito not be angry at all if I talked badly about Kaito Kid every day?"

Kaito Kuroba fell silent.

That's because I have a poker face that can keep my expression straight, okay?

Hakuba Saguru raised an eyebrow at this.

he said,

"Inspector Nakamori, what's the significance of your knowledge of Phantom Thief Kid?"

Hakuba Saguru's tone was arrogant.

Conan, standing nearby, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This Sherlock Holmes cosplayer is even more arrogant in his reasoning than the real Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

"What did you say?"

Nakamori Ginzo's eyes widened.

He couldn't believe that Hakuba Saguru would say such a thing so openly in front of him!

Hakuba Saguru continued without hesitation,

"You've been chasing after Phantom Thief Kid for over twenty years, do you know his gender? Do you know his age?"

Have you ever seen what kind of face is hidden behind his monocle?

Have you checked all those random props he left behind?

“You have no right to speak without conducting an investigation. I invited you here simply to have Kaito Kuroba come to the scene as well. I don’t need your guidance on how to solve the case.”

These words were incredibly hurtful.

Nakamori Ginzo's expression changed repeatedly.

He couldn't hold it in anymore.

Lies are irrelevant; the truth is the sharpest weapon.

Every word Hakuba Saguru said was like a dagger to his heart, because he genuinely hadn't found any of the things Hakuba Saguru mentioned. He had simply earned his position through years of experience chasing after Kaito Kid.

"...Didn't you just say he was that brat Kudo?"

Somewhat bewildered by the situation, Kogoro Mouri quietly approached Ran Mouri.

He asked in a low voice, and then said,

"If I remember correctly, that brat Kudo and Kaito Kid appeared at the same time."

"It was the time when Kaito Kid claimed to be stealing time. He rode in a police helicopter to arrest Kaito Kid, and that scene was even broadcast live on TV. How could Kaito Kid possibly be that brat Kudo?"

Hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded, somewhat bewildered.

Oh, that seems to be true.

She just remembered that there seems to be such a thing.

Conan, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Well, although the way of solving the problem is unique, at least the problem is solved.
