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

Chapter 263 Weren't you dead? Why did you come back?
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department police cars are still patrolling the city.
It wasn't until he reached the edge of Hakodate City that Nakamori Ginzo could no longer see the Phantom Thief Kid, and he had to admit that he had indeed lost track of the Phantom Thief Kid in the sky again.

As for the phantom thief Kid who was brought along by them, he was driving a car.

Nakamori Ginzo finally realized what was going on.
Kaito Kid's driving skills are so bad; he's never used such a lame escape method before. Now it seems that this Kaito Kid might really be a fake, just someone hired by Maki Juri to create hype.

"Sigh, you can't trust anonymous tipsters, they can be deadly."

Nakamori Ginzo sighed.

He turned to Shinjō Kō and said,
"Judging by the time, Mu Shuli's plane should have landed by now. Make a call and have Mu Shuli verify your identity, then you can leave after giving a statement."

Hearing this, Shinjō Kō couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He picked up his phone as if granted a pardon and dialed Mu Shuli's number.

The next moment, someone answered the call, but it wasn't Maki's voice that came through.
"I am Inspector Kyohei Nishimura from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters. You are involved in a hijacking case. Tell me where you are. No matter where you are, you must come to the Hokkaido Police Headquarters for an explanation!"

—Airplane hijacking incident?
Xinzhuang Gong:?

Then I'll admit I'm Phantom Thief Kid, okay? How can I possibly handle such a huge label being put on my head?

Nakamori Ginzo, standing nearby, frowned, snatched Shinjo Isao's phone, and held it to his ear.

"I am Inspector Ginzo Nakamori of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

“I can tell you definitively that Shinjō Ko has been with me since 6 p.m. He couldn’t possibly be involved in any hijacking case. I think you’ve picked the wrong suspect.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone after hearing this.

Then, Nishimura Kyohei asked in surprise,
"You said you're Nakamori Ginzo?"

In response, Nakamori Ginzo stated matter-of-factly,
"Of course, who else could I be but Nakamori Ginzo?"

"I will not change my name or surname!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

The silence left Nakamori Ginzo feeling bewildered.

Just as he was about to hang up the phone,
Inspector Megure's voice rang out.
"Brother Nakamori, it's me, Inspector Megure!"

“Why didn’t you answer my call earlier? Let me tell you, Superintendent General Hakuba is furious about your unauthorized actions and has ordered me to take control of you.”

"If you are still in Hakodate City, please bring Shinjo Isao to the Hakodate City Police Headquarters."

"Inspector Nishimura and I are waiting for you here."

—I'm starting with zero frames.

Completely controlled by his younger brother's Devil Fruit ability, Nakamori Ginzo listened helplessly to Inspector Megure's entire message before hanging up the phone. He turned to Shinjo Isao and sighed.
This is it, we're doomed.

Originally, they said that poor Shinjo Ko would not have to go to the local police headquarters, but now not only is Shinjo Ko not allowed to go, but he himself has to go to the Hakodate Police Headquarters. This is too outrageous!
He glanced at the bewildered Xinzhuang Gong beside him.
Nakamori Ginzo looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, then he said loudly,
"That despicable Phantom Thief Kid!"

"This is all Kaito Kid's fault! I must bring Kaito Kid to justice!"

------

Kaito Kid had no idea what Nakamori Ginzo was talking about.

I don't even know which generation of Phantom Thief Kid it is.

Right now,

Kaito Kuroba is standing on the maintenance platform at the top of the radio tower.

A white cloak fluttered in the wind, complementing the snow-white magician's costume, hat, and monocle.
Under the moonlight, he was enough to captivate countless girls in the world of Detective Conan.

However, the person standing in front of him was no less impressive.

Clothing in contrasting colors to Phantom Thief Kid's, and the same monocle.
And the inexplicable mustache, along with the black cloak fluttering in the wind, were enough to show the elegant demeanor of the person in front of him.

"Kaito Kid, you've arrived."

"The recolored version of Phantom Thief Kid said in a low voice."

He looked at Kaito Kuroba in front of him and said in a serious voice,

“I know you’ve inherited the mantle of Phantom Thief Kid, but so have I.”

"Therefore, let's have a contest. The winner will inherit the name of Phantom Thief Kid and continue to live in the world, while the loser will relinquish the title of Phantom Thief and return to an ordinary life—"

However, before he could finish speaking,
Kaito Kuroba stated it directly.

Why should I make this bet with you?

Hear this,

The recolored version of the phantom thief lowered his head, his fingers pressing against his monocle.

The next moment, he took off his monocle.
He spoke to Kaito Kuroba.

"Because, I am You wrong!"

This was reminiscent of Darth Vader's words to his son Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. Toichi Kuroba was certain that this scene would be enough to shake Kaito Kuroba's soul, making the Kaito who doubted whether he was still alive utter that unbelievable answer.

However, the next moment, Kaito Kuroba sneered and replied,
"Weren't you dead? What are you doing back here?"

Kuroba Touichi: ?
The whole family burst into laughter at the sight of the deceased.

Cold words really hurt my heart. Why say such hurtful things?
Kuroba Toichi fell silent after being defeated.

To this, Kaito Kuroba sighed and simply said,
"I want to know what exactly happened back then."

"Do you and Mom really live in Las Vegas? Why haven't you come to see me all these years? You haven't even replied to a single email. And..."

"here."

Kaito Kuroba pointed to the ground below.

After a brief pause, he continued to ask,

"I want to know what the legend of the five-pointed star in Hakodate is all about, and why you came here back then?"

Why leave the message "Do not disturb the sleeping lion"? What is the real secret treasure of Axe River?

—The real treasure of the Axe River?

Upon thinking of this, Black Feather Thief was speechless.

the reason is simple,
Back when smartphones weren't yet widely available, he thought the Axe River Treasure was indeed something that could influence the entire world order, but given the rapid advancements of the present era, he was simply worrying unnecessarily.

The Axe River Treasure is not a weapon.

Even in this day and age, it's worthless. Oh, maybe you could make a little money reselling it as an antique in the Middle East, but getting rich from it is impossible.

"The Engni Code Machine."

Kuroba Toichi, who was trying to repair his relationship with his son, answered Kuroba Kaito's question.

He added,
"An entire cave."

Kuroba Kaito:?
This is ridiculous! A cipher machine? Or is the Tamar some kind of ancient relic from World War II?
He investigated and found that Southeast Asian mercenaries had been transferred here, and the Axe River Conglomerate had spent a lot of money on the investigation. And this is the result? Seriously, stopping them from finding the Axe River Treasure is a waste of time!
