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

Chapter 110 Chaki Shintaro, who has already run away
Time passed quietly, minute by minute.

Outside the Suzuki Foundation's exhibition hall.

Reporters from various television stations had completely surrounded the area, all waiting for one person to appear.

—Kaito Kid.

The legendary thief, who had disappeared for quite some time, reappeared and used various dazzling magic tricks to steal, only to return the stolen items to the thief the very next day.

It can be said to be the hottest media spot in Beika Town today, and it is the source of livelihood for many TV stations.

Kaito Kid's opponent this time is Hakuba Saguru, the only son of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Superintendent General Hakuba, a high school detective who has returned from England. Whether it's hype or viewership, this matchup has already reached its peak.

Of course, the journalists in Beika Town are generally obsessed with reporting on heinous murder cases.

However, they've now also arrived outside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, ready to compete with television reporters for food.

This is not because they suddenly stopped reporting on heinous murders today, but because usually when Kaito Kid appears, there are no heinous murders in Beika Town.

Although this matter is somewhat mystical, it is indeed true according to certain patterns.

Therefore, in order to ensure that there is something to write about in tomorrow's news headlines, the reporters of those news stories had no choice but to abandon their original obsession with filming heinous murders and instead rush to capture the moment when Kaito Kid steals the treasure.

The cordon had been set up an hour before reporters arrived at the scene.

Numerous officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division stood solemnly beside the cordon, prohibiting any journalists, media personnel, or fans of Kaito Kid from entering the cordon.

They all knew that Kaito Kid's greatest skill was disguise.

Anyone attempting to infiltrate the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall could be the disguised Phantom Thief Kid.

The voice of Ginzo Nakamori could already be heard over the walkie-talkie.

"Strengthen vigilance. Once Phantom Thief Kid appears, we absolutely cannot let him escape this time!"

This time, Ginzo Nakamori's orders have changed somewhat compared to the previous orders for capturing Kaito Kid.

Originally, Ginzo Nakamori said that Kaito Kid should absolutely not be allowed to enter the scene to steal the jewels.

But now the problem is that we can't let Kaito Kid show himself and escape.

There are, of course, reasons for this.

Hakuba Saguru has made it clear that if Kaito Kid doesn't appear, then Kuroba Kaito is Kaito Kid.

Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo naturally needs to loosen his grip a bit.

The crackdown won't be as strict as before; at least we need to let Kaito Kid in.

Otherwise, if Kaito Kid doesn't show up and Kaito Kuroba gets arrested, he'll really become a laughing stock.

Of course, Nakamori Ginzo also knew that even if he didn't go easy on them...

The Phantom Thief Kid can still infiltrate in the same way, there's no big difference.

After all, he's been a rival for so many years, and Nakamori Ginzo believes he has a pretty good grasp of Kaito Kid's strength.

------

At this very moment, inside the Suzuki Foundation's exhibition hall.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers are patrolling around, and just by looking at them, you can tell that a large number of police officers have been deployed this time.

Meanwhile, Ginzo Nakamori wandered around, occasionally directing the police officers, displaying a commanding and assertive demeanor.

Normally, Chaki Shintaro should be on-site with Nakamori Ginzo to direct operations.

However, last time on the Queen Cerissa, Chaki Shintaro was already speechless at Nakamori Ginzo's way of handling cases, and this time Nakamori Ginzo is going against the son of the Superintendent General of Police.

He simply delegated all command authority to Nakamori Ginzo.

A normal police officer would definitely feel uneasy at this point, because it means that if the operation fails, Nakamori Ginzo will bear full responsibility. However, Nakamori Ginzo has been chasing Phantom Thief Kid for so many years and has never succeeded even once.

He wasn't afraid of any failed arrest operation. After all, he wasn't a professional. His position as a police inspector was the limit. He couldn't go any further, and the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't fire him. What was he afraid of?
"Once Phantom Thief Kid appears, we absolutely cannot let that despicable Phantom Thief Kid escape from here!"

Nakamori Ginzo, holding a megaphone, shouted loudly.

Seeing how serious Nakamori Ginzo was, Nakamori Aoko, who had accompanied Nakamori Ginzo and Kuroba Kaito to the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, whispered to Kuroba Kaito beside her,
"Kaito, I believe you can't be Kaito Kid!"

Kaito Kuroba remained silent on this matter.

The reason is simple: he's wearing a silver bracelet on his wrist right now.

One end of the silver bracelet was attached to Hakuba Saguru's wrist, essentially handcuffing him to Hakuba Saguru. Although unlocking the handcuffs was an easy task for him, it would be difficult to do so without Hakuba Saguru noticing.

He can only hope that when Koizumi Akako comes to steal the jewels later, the commotion will be big enough.

He'll sabotage the lighting system here, use the darkness to slip away and meet up with Koizumi Akako, and see if that so-called eight-eyed spider illusionist still comes.

If they're not coming, just go back to the main hall and chat with Hakuba Saguru and Aoko.

Kaito Kuroba's ears twitched.

He looked up, looking upwards.

There, leaning against the railing, Chen En was talking on the phone with someone.

The voice was too soft; even Kaito Kuroba couldn't hear what Chen En was saying.

------

Chen En put the phone to his ear and said with some surprise,

"What's going on? Huh? Campus adventure?"

On the other end of the phone, Conan, who had already climbed over the wall into the school with the Junior Detective League, said helplessly,

"Yes."

“You were absolutely right. When I came to school today, many students said that the students who were on duty late saw the dean of students with blood on his hands, as if he had committed murder, but when the police came, they found nothing.”

"Then, the members of the Junior Detective Club all said they would visit the school at night to see what was going on."

"I was worried something might happen to them, so I had no choice but to come along... Seriously, how come every school has these kinds of unbelievable events?"

Conan was utterly speechless.

He had originally planned to go with Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri tonight to stake out Kaito Kid.

The last time, I was tricked by Phantom Thief Kid on the Queen Cerissa.

He hasn't gotten it back yet.

The result was that the Junior Detective League dragged him to investigate the Seven Mysteries of Teitan Elementary School, which was absurd.

"Where are Uncle Mori and Ran? Are they there?"

Hearing Conan's question.

Chen En turned and glanced around the hall before replying.

"No, they didn't come either."

"I advise you to end your adventure tonight and go home as soon as possible. I bet Kogoro Mouri is waiting for you at the office right now, ready to give you a taste of your favorite Mouri God Fist."

Conan:?
You cold-hearted person!
How could someone with a mouth that's 38 degrees Celsius utter such heartless words?
