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

Chapter 222 It's time to give Phantom Thief Kid a good beating!
"Mr. Kyogoku, you've arrived."

Jirokichi Suzuki turned his head and saw Makoto Kyogoku coming over, his eyes filled with a complicated expression.

This young karate practitioner, who is about to achieve a 400-win streak in a short period of time since his debut, is no ordinary person.

It is said that it is possible to fire rubber bullets while multiple people are holding handguns.

Capture all the rubber bullets and eliminate the target.

Sigh, if only this time it was a real Phantom Thief Kid.

If Phantom Thief Kid dares to come, he's definitely in for a world of hurt.

Unfortunately, this time it was one of their own people disguised as Kaito Kid.

"I have something to tell you."

Suzuki Jirokichi coughed twice and said,

"You know, Phantom Thief Kid is very powerful and proficient in all kinds of gadgets."

"Even for you, it would be difficult to protect the jewels without getting hurt when facing Phantom Thief Kid."

Makoto Kyogoku nodded.

He didn't deny that, but he was somewhat puzzled as to why Suzuki Jirokichi was bringing this up now.

Then, Jirokichi Suzuki continued,

"Our Suzuki Group has always put people first."

"Considering people's health, Mr. Kyogoku, if you encounter any special circumstances, you can ensure your personal safety first. Gems are not that important."

"If Phantom Thief Kid uses a weapon like a playing card gun on you, then just give him the jewel."

"Your health is the most important thing!"

Listen to what Suzuki Jirokichi said.

Makoto Kyogoku nodded slightly.

Hmm, you're a pretty nice person.

Is it possible that they value my health more than that priceless jade emperor gem?
However, in other words, if Kaito Kid's weapon can't harm me, then I need to protect the Emerald Emperor Gem and give Kaito Kid a good beating, right?
Makoto Kyogoku said,
"I see."

"My health will be my top priority in this operation. If Phantom Thief Kid comes up with any item that could harm me, I will consider abandoning the mission as Mr. Suzuki suggested."

Giving up the mission was out of the question; it would be hard to vent my anger without giving Phantom Thief Kid a good beating.

He glanced at the Phantom Thief Kid disguised as Chen En beside him.

A hint of sharpness unconsciously surfaced in his eyes.

He wanted to see just what skills this nationally renowned legendary thief possessed!
Chen En glanced at it.

He felt that Kyogoku Makoto probably didn't understand.

But Makoto Kyogoku understood. He would probably pretend to catch Kaito Kid and then beat him up, just like he thought he was the real Kaito Kid. He was already prepared for this.

If all else fails, let's have a real fight, let's practice!

Do you think I, the Little Batman of Tangtang Rice Flower Town, am afraid of Little Bane of Rice Flower Town?
"Hey, why does it feel like there's so much tension between you two?"

Sonoko Suzuki, her hair disheveled, turned her head and asked curiously.

In response, Chen En simply replied,

"It's okay, we're all brothers."

Upon hearing this, Makoto Kyogoku managed a forced smile and nodded.

I didn't notice it at the entrance.

Now that he was closer, he noticed that Sonoko Suzuki's headband had been removed, and her hair was now loose.

Moreover, Sonoko Suzuki with her hair down seemed much prettier than when she was wearing a headband.

The thought that such a lovely girl had been tricked by Kaito Kid was unbearable.

Makoto Kyogoku felt a pang of heartache.

Damn it, why is it like this?

I was the one who arrived first, whether we met or got to know each other...

If only I had gone straight to her and exchange contact information when I came off the stage during the match! A fire ignited in Kyogoku Makoto's heart at this thought.

hateful!

It's time to give Phantom Thief Kid a good beating!

"Detective Kudo, it's so great to have you here!"

The client who made this entrustment.

Miss Maki grabbed Shinichi Kudo's hand tightly, looking very enthusiastic.

Upon seeing this, the reporters nearby immediately started snapping photos indiscriminately.

—Shinichi Kudo was a nationally renowned detective even before Kogoro Mouri appeared.

Even though it hasn't appeared for so long.

But its popularity is in no way inferior to that of Kogoro Mouri!

Now that Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo have both appeared at the Space Theater because of her request, this will definitely be a great publicity stunt to boost her value and make her a fortune!
"Haha...right, right?"

Kaito Kuroba said with an smirk.

For some reason, he felt the sense of danger behind him growing stronger.

Behind Kaito Kuroba, Ran Mouri was staring intently at him.

Meanwhile, Conan, who was next to Ran Mouri, was also staring at Kaito Kuroba because Ran was fixated on him.

—You despicable Phantom Thief Kid, I'll really show you what I'm capable of!

You lied to Xiaolan and Uncle, and now you're still ruining my reputation! How can I let you live?!

"Alright, everyone, let's go to the theater first."

"The performance is about to begin!"

In Mushuli, a single call elicits a hundred responses.

A large number of fans instantly swarmed into the theater following her, and Ran Mouri and the others who had brought tickets also followed. However, before following, Ran Mouri turned to Kaito Kuroba and asked,
"Shinichi, aren't you coming along?"

"Me? I'll stand guard at the door. No matter how powerful that Phantom Thief Kid is, he still has to go through the door to get out of the enclosed theater, right? Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, you can watch the show from any seat."

Kaito Kuroba put his hands behind his head and said with a grin.

I had just started walking forward when I suddenly realized something was wrong, and I quickly put my hand down.

I took the test, and for some reason, seeing Ran Mouri always gives me the same feeling as seeing Aoko.

I subconsciously switched back to my normal mode of action.

Why is this happening? That's so strange...

Conan kept his eyes on Kaito Kuroba the whole way until he entered the theater, sat in his seat, and could no longer see Kaito Kuroba.

He sat in his seat, his mind completely elsewhere than on the stage play before him.

Ai Haibara, who was standing nearby, also noticed this.
She said it softly.
"What's wrong? Great detective, you seem a bit distracted?"

"Although this theater troupe relies heavily on hype to gain popularity, their performance level is still quite good. It's much better than the Josephine performance I saw in the United States before. Don't you feel like you're missing out if you don't see it?"

Conan:?
Am I here to see a performance?

I'm here to catch Phantom Thief Kid! If he hadn't known that the other Phantom Thief Kid was Chen En in disguise, he would have simply put on a show of patrolling between two locations, never even entering a theater, until he caught Phantom Thief Kid!

"call……"

Conan forced himself to calm down.

He instinctively placed his hand on his equipment belt.

This belt is modeled after Chen En's bat belt, and it has many hidden compartments inside, with a launch port at the front for the football to be ejected and quickly inflated for attack.

Next, let's use the equipment in this belt...

"hateful……"

Conan whispered.

It's time to give Phantom Thief Kid a good beating!
