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

Chapter 219 The Real Kudo Shinichi
Today, Beika Town is surprisingly harmonious.

Perhaps it's because the infamous Phantom Thief Kid, the god of survival, is going to carry out a theft tonight that the murderers in Beika Town have temporarily put aside their killing plans and joined the media in focusing their attention on reports about Phantom Thief Kid.

Under normal circumstances, most media outlets that attempt to record and report will be squeezed out and unable to get the news.

However, the media has no such concerns today, because Kaito Kid has sent out notices to two areas at the same time, which means that Kaito Kid will most likely choose to steal two precious gems one after the other!
They don't need to argue anymore.

Half the media were at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall, and the other half were at the Space Theater.

Everyone has a Phantom Thief Kid to film, and everyone can finish their projects successfully.

Because Kaito Kid had created so many magical scenes that seemed almost magical, when the two announcement letters appeared at the same time, not a single person suspected that one of them was a forgery.

These media outlets simply take it for granted that Kaito Kid could do such a thing.

Only one person is different.

That's Nakamori Ginzo.

The veteran police inspector, who had been chasing Phantom Thief Kid for over a decade, immediately realized something was definitely wrong when he saw the news report mentioning that Phantom Thief Kid had issued two notices at the same time!
He came to a conclusion without thinking.

—One of these two announcements must be fake.

There is no precedent for Kaito Kid to simultaneously select two different gems in two different regions to steal. No matter how skilled he is, he is just a magician thief and it is impossible for him to appear in two places at the same time!
"Hmph, Phantom Thief Kid, your tricks can only fool an old man like Suzuki Jirokichi at best."

"Trying to deceive me, your nemesis, is absolutely impossible!"

Ginzo Nakamori made full use of his more than ten years of experience in hunting down Kaito Kid.

Between the two notices that Kaito Kid was going to steal from the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall and the Space Theater, he resolutely chose to believe that the former was the real one, and then rushed to the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall!
As for the Cosmic Theater?

Of course, police officers also went to the Space Theater to arrest Phantom Thief Kid.

Although Nakamori Ginzo believed that the Phantom Thief Kid notice at the Space Theater was fake and that Phantom Thief Kid would never go to the Space Theater, he still sent someone there anyway, believing that one should always have a backup plan.

Ahem, actually, it wasn't someone he sent.

It was Chaki Shintaro who, after having a fight with Nakamori Ginzo last time, made up his mind not to go on missions with Nakamori Ginzo again.

I heard that Nakamori Ginzo is already overwhelmed with work.

Chaki Shintaro volunteered to take on the mission of dealing with the Phantom Thief Kid who might appear at the Space Theater. As for why?
the reason is simple.

Last time, Nakamori Ginzo said he had no experience dealing with Kaito Kid and thought he was no good at it. Now, Chaki Shintaro is actually planning to set up a trap at the Space Theater so that the magic thief can catch him and prove that he is good!
"Hurry up, send some people to keep watch over there, and set up another patrol team outside."

"I refuse to believe that with so many men under our command, we can't catch Phantom Thief Kid alone!"

Chaki Shintaro is issuing orders backstage at the Space Theater.

Hearing this, Conan, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but feel speechless.

If such simple preventative measures could catch Kaito Kid, then it would be incredible that Kaito Kid has been able to remain active all this time. Chaki Shintaro's capture plan seems impossible to succeed.

— Conan and his friends entered using tickets given to them by Maki.

The security personnel immediately recognized the unusual ticket and took Conan and his group to the dressing room to discuss the situation directly with Maki.

As a result, not long after Conan and his friends entered the dressing room, Chaki Shintaro came in.

He was still directing the police officers and preparing for the next plan to capture Kaito Kid, giving Conan the impression that this guy was just there to make a joke.

Conan sighed and said, "How could we possibly catch them this way..."

"How could we possibly catch Phantom Thief Kid this way!"

Before Conan could finish speaking...

Kogoro Mouri immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, shouting loudly,

"To catch Phantom Thief Kid, we need to use other methods! Officer Chaki, I have a brilliant plan that we can use to get close to Phantom Thief Kid and then arrest him!"

"However, we need Officer Chaki's help with this method!"

Ochagi Jintaro:?

Huh? I arrested Phantom Thief Kid? Really?
However, now that things have come to this point, could it be that Kogoro Mouri really has a brilliant way to catch Kaito Kid? If that's the case, then we'll have no choice but to cooperate with Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri took a few steps forward and immediately pulled Shintaro Chaki aside to whisper their plans.

Looking at the completely unreliable Kogoro Mouri.

Conan couldn't help but sigh, wondering when the reliable person could solve the problem and come to help.

After all, it would be quite difficult for him to catch Kaito Kid if he were alone.

However, it's just a bit of a struggle.

Now, his entire equipment has been modernized and is much stronger than before. Even his glasses have been equipped with scanning and locking features, making him a special target for Phantom Thief Kid.

Conan simply couldn't believe that even in his condition, Kaito Kid could still escape right under his nose!

"Hmm, if Shinichi were here, he would definitely have a way to catch Kaito Kid."

Ran Mouri sighed beside her.

I'm looking forward to Shinichi Kudo appearing near the dressing room to help the police catch the infamous Phantom Thief Kid.

However, Conan, who was standing nearby, was already thinking to himself,

"How could that be? I'm right next to you right now. How come I didn't know I had a way to catch Phantom Thief Kid?"

However, something unexpected happened in that instant.

Then, the door to the dressing room was pushed open once again.

The person who appeared in front of everyone in the dressing room the next moment was none other than the famous detective they knew all too well.

Shinichi Kudo, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era!

"Of course, Phantom Thief Kid is no threat to me."

"Shinichi Kudo" entered the room and said softly.

There is only one truth.

"The only one who can defeat Phantom Thief Kid is me!"

Conan:?
What? Who are you? Could it be Kaito Kuroba that I saw at the exhibition hall before?

Could Kaito Kuroba actually be Kaito Kid? But hasn't someone already proven that Kaito Kuroba isn't Kaito Kid? What's going on? Is it a disguise? Is someone using his identity to infiltrate the theater and uncover the police's plans?
