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

Chapter 756 It doesn’t matter, I will take action
Kaito Kid's true identity is Kaito Kuroba, but it must be admitted that there is more than one Kaito Kid.

Although Nakamori Ginzo is quite amateurish.

But at least the fact that he fought against Phantom Thief Kid more than a decade ago cannot be faked.

The Phantom Thief Kid from over a decade ago still exists.

Furthermore, he is not the same person as the current Phantom Thief Kid, indicating that the current Phantom Thief Kid is the second generation.

Hakuba Saguru is investigating the original Phantom Thief Kid, because he obtained some very interesting information during his afternoon investigation.

If the information he investigated is correct.

And if it is confirmed that the true identity of the original Phantom Thief Kid is the person he imagined.

He would then be able to determine the exact time and location of Kaito Kid's next operation.

This will be an operation without prior notice, because the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid's target will most likely be those people...

"The original Phantom Thief Kid."

"If the person who can have a direct connection with Kaito Kid is Kuroba Kaito, then Kuroba Kaito's father, Kuroba Toichi, is obviously a prime suspect."

"Kuroba Toichi is a world-class magician."

"Moreover, the magician's uniform worn in a magic show more than ten years ago was quite similar to the magician's uniform worn by Kaito Kid."

"Furthermore, his death due to an unexplained performance accident roughly coincided with the time when Kaito Kid disappeared, so he is most likely the original Kaito Kid."

White Horse was calculating in his mind.

After concluding that Kuroba Toku was most likely the original Phantom Thief Kid, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes, and he then drew his conclusion.

"If the original Phantom Thief Kid was Kuroba Toichi, then the true identity of the Phantom Thief Lady, who was active around the same time as Phantom Thief Kid..."

"It should be Kaito Kuroba's mother, Chikage Kuroba."

Information about Lady Thief is available in the internal files of International Criminal Court.

It was an incident that occurred on the Eiffel Tower, where a group of people of unknown origin set a trap and trapped the Lady Thief on the Eiffel Tower platform.

Just when the Phantom Thief Lady was unable to escape.

Kaito Kid descends from the sky and, carrying Kaito Lady, uses a hang glider to leave the platform.

That was the last time the Phantom Thief Lady appeared.

This is also the first appearance of Phantom Thief Kid, and a little investigation will reveal the truth.

same time.

The world-renowned magician, Toichi Kuroba, happened to be finishing his magic performance at a nearby theater at that time, which perfectly matched the timing.

If it's because of the old-fashioned hero-saves-the-damsel trope that the Phantom Thief Lady and Phantom Thief Kid become husband and wife, leading to her retirement...

This is clearly plausible.

The group of criminals who were arrested by the French police for their involvement in the murder of the Lady Thief were among those arrested.

Their true identities were members of a transnational antiquities forgery syndicate, but this was not discovered at the time and they were simply considered ordinary gangsters.

After reading the relevant files, Hakuba Saguru investigated the subsequent events and discovered that these people had all been released from the detention center by others.

They also investigated the files from the International Criminal Court.

It was only in the end that it was determined that the person who rescued these people was a high-ranking executive of that transnational antiquities forgery syndicate, and these people were also members of it.

"At that time, someone inside the Suzuki Foundation's Grand Exhibition Hall helped Kaito Kid."

"That person was a woman, and she threw a hypnotic bomb at Yusaku Kudo and Jirokichi Suzuki in the control room, causing them to fall into a deep sleep."

"If I'm not mistaken, it's Kuroba Chikage."

"It would only take investigating whether Kaito Kuroba's mother returned to Tokyo to confirm... and she did."

Hakuba Saguru remembers it very clearly.

During Nakamori Aoko's conversation with Kuroba Kaito, Kuroba Kaito mentioned that his mother had returned to Tokyo from abroad.

Obviously, this retired phantom thief lady couldn't have suddenly returned to Tokyo for no reason.

If it's just to help Kaito Kid, there's no need to specifically choose this time to return, unless there's a necessary reason to return to Tokyo at this time.

For example, what issues need to be addressed?

The transnational antiquities forgery syndicate that nearly ambushed and killed the Lady Thief on the Eiffel Tower platform is clearly one of the candidates.

This is precisely what Hakuba Tansou wants to verify.

"If the Phantom Thief Lady returned to Tokyo to deal with that transnational antiquities counterfeiting syndicate."

"This transnational antiquities forgery syndicate is also scheduled to arrive in Tokyo tonight, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will make their move against Kaito Kid."

"After all, the relationship between Phantom Thief Kid and Phantom Thief Lady is the kind that can never be hidden if someone is determined to investigate."

"If we can't find the Phantom Thief Lady, we'll take action against Phantom Thief Kid, who has a close relationship with her."

"That's easy to understand..."

If Phantom Thief Kid had even a shred of filial piety, then, given that Phantom Thief Lady clearly stated her intention to take down that transnational antiquities forgery group, he would have shown it.

Kaito Kid will definitely lend a hand.

However, it's clear that this time, they can't send any warning letters to alert the enemy.

Therefore, this will be a Phantom Thief Kid operation without using any prior notice.

If the mysterious organization were to target Phantom Thief Kid, they would definitely choose this moment.

"Then all we need to do is wait there and wait for them to come to us."

White Horse slowly came to a conclusion.

He decided to take a group of people over to stake out the place and see.

If we could catch a member of the mysterious organization, that would be the best outcome.

If we can't find any members of the mysterious organization, then we should arrest the members of that transnational antiquities forgery group and hand them over to the International Criminal Court.

This will allow us to build good relations with the International Criminal Court.

It will be easier for him to access relevant case files from the International Criminal Court next time.

"...just to be on the safe side."

"Tell Chen En about this and tell him to keep it in mind."

Bai Ma Tan made a decision.

In Tokyo, if there was anyone as reliable as him, he felt that person could only be Chen En.

Whether it's combat ability or reasoning ability.

This Night Knight from Beika Town is perhaps no less skilled than him.

With Chen En present, he felt reassured, although he felt he could solve the problem using only his own tools and helpers.

However, what puzzled Hakuba Saguru was...

Chen En only gave a single sentence in response.

It doesn't matter, I'll take action.

Hakuba Saguru: ?

What does it mean to be able to take action?
I didn't even say when or where that multinational antiquities forgery group would arrive in Tokyo, so how come you seem to know it all?

You haven't already investigated this matter, have you?
Hakuba touched his chin.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this.

Since Chen En has indicated that he will take action, there is no need to worry about Chen En's side.

The most urgent task now is...

Get that exorcist with the bedding back.

If nothing unexpected happened, he figured the guy should head straight for Kabukicho Ichiban-gai.
