Simultaneous Time Travel: Am I the only normal person among them?

After all, it's not like Phantom Thief Kid doesn't return the jewels he stole.

The Suzuki Foundation gained money, the detective gained fame, the citizens gained entertainment, and the phantom thief got the jewels he wanted.

Aside from the Metropolitan Police Department, which is routinely criticized as incompetent, everyone has a bright future.

"Is this the jewel that Phantom Thief Kid wanted to steal?"

Kogoro Mouri bent down to examine the jewels in the display case, which shone brightly.

Its black luster seems to reveal endless mystery, truly like its name, resembling a pitch-black star.

“That’s right. Ever since my grandfather gave us this pearl, our Suzuki family’s fortunes have been soaring.”

"In other words, it is the guardian deity of our Suzuki family."

Shiro Suzuki bent down and approached the glass cabinet to explain.

This sounds like Suzuki Shiro is deliberately trying to inflate the value of this gem.

Mr. Mori, this gem is quite precious. You must do your best tomorrow night.

It will give the audience a fantastic showdown between a detective and a phantom thief!

"But tomorrow is the day the phantom thief is going to steal the goods, right? The security here is way too tight."

Kogoro Mouri glanced behind him.

A group of police officers were running around, but it was unclear what they were busy with.

It could also be simply to show them that we're already busy, so don't blame us if we miss out tomorrow!

"Yes, that's why we made preparations in advance and took strict precautions against his intimidation, precisely because the notice mentioned tomorrow."

Conan's gaze sharpened. Was this phantom thief really that powerful?

How could someone successfully steal a gem from so many police officers and leave unharmed?

"Kazama, we're here!"

Suddenly, after a long silence, Sonoko finally saw the man she had been longing for day and night.

Conan froze.

That man, he came too?

Looking up, I saw a man wearing a black overcoat and a black top hat, with the hat and bangs covering most of his face, walking over calmly.

Thankfully, Sonoko has an exceptional ability to recognize handsome men; otherwise, a normal person might not have been able to recognize that this person was Luke.

Conan subconsciously glanced at Luke's hand to see if he was holding any round, stick-like objects.

Does this outfit look familiar?

Conan didn't react at first.

Upon closer inspection, the elementary school student was drenched in sweat.

That’s not right!

Could this guy really be...?

Conan's memories of the "main storyline," which had been sealed away by everyday events, have returned.

He was sweating profusely, swayed, and grabbed Xiaolan's clothes.

Xiao Lan lowered her head in confusion.

"Conan, what's wrong with you?"

Conan's face turned pale, and he shook his head.

He couldn't let Ran worry, nor could he reveal his unusual behavior to Kazama.

"Kazama, why did it take you so long to get here?"

Sonoko's face was beaming with happiness as she jogged over to Luke and asked him solicitously.

"A colleague suddenly contacted me, and I had to deal with it, which caused a delay."

Although Luke's outfit today leaned towards a somewhat ascetic (hellish) style, his personality hadn't changed much; he remained as gentle as a warm breeze.

"You've been waiting long, haven't you, Sonoko?"

"No, no, I just arrived a little while ago."

This is a lie. Sonoko got up very early today, dressed up, and waited at the museum early.

"So you are the 'Spiritual White Fox Child' Detective Kazama? Meeting you today, you are indeed a man of great talent!"

Suzuki Shiro's eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

Sonoko's recent activities could not be kept from her loving father.

Luke's past experiences had already been thoroughly exposed by him.

Previously, he was just a handsome high school boy. After his parents fled overseas due to huge gambling debts, he was left alone to face a gangster organization that resembled a pack of wolves and tigers.

Forced into the gray industry of male escorts, he not only did not succumb to it, but instead fought his way out of the industry.

Regardless of whether his methods are dirty or not, he must have the ability to reach the top of the industry.

At the very least, if you were to switch Shiro Suzuki and Luke together, Mr. Suzuki thinks he would most likely choose to restart the business.

It was precisely because of this tragic experience that Shiro Suzuki did not immediately stop Sonoko from contacting Luke.

The middle-aged and elderly people here, regardless of gender, are always very tolerant of young people.

For example, a large-headed doll that frequently breaks into crime scenes, eavesdrops, drugges others, and possesses and uses controlled weapons.

“Mr. Suzuki, you flatter me. It’s just that the reporters are overpraising me. I don’t have any psychic abilities.”

Luke grasped Shiro Suzuki's outstretched hand.

Although he wasn't very interested in Sonoko, he was quite interested in Mrs. Suzuki.

"Detective Kazama, don't be so modest. Sonoko said back then that you were the only one who could capture Kaito Kid."

"I see. Thank you for your trust, Sonoko. I will do my best for the Dark Star."

Sonoko scratched her head sheepishly.

Actually, you don't need to work so hard.

If it gets stolen, Kazama, you can compensate me in other ways.

Chapter 106 Encounter with Tomoko Suzuki

"Mr. Mori, let me introduce you. This is Detective Kazama, who is also a detective hired by our Suzuki Foundation to solve this case."

"I don't need to introduce the names of Detective Kazama and Detective Mouri, after all, he is already a senior figure in the industry."

Luke nodded.

He was not only familiar with Detective Mouri, but also with Detective Mouri's family.

"Mr. Mori, it's been a long time."

Luke smiled and reached out his hand.

Kogoro Mouri snorted coldly.

He didn't know who the man who was with Eri Kisaki that day was.

However, Luke, who had a rather ambiguous relationship with Eri Kisaki before, has clearly become one of Detective Mouri's potential suspects.

Naturally, Kogoro Mouri wouldn't give a friendly look to the man who might have cheated on him.

"Xiaolan, let's go!"

Kogoro Mouri turned and walked away, completely disregarding social etiquette.

"father!"

Xiao Lan called out.

Detective Mori didn't turn around; he walked straight out.

Xiao Lan had no choice but to look apologetically at everyone.

"I'm sorry, my dad hasn't been in a good mood lately. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Xiao Lan skillfully bowed and apologized.

Suzuki Shiro was taken aback. He hadn't expected Detective Mouri to react this way. He had originally planned to invite the two detectives to dinner together.

Could these two be enemies?

"No, no, Xiaolan, Uncle has been sick for a long time, we all understand!"

Yuanzi, though seemingly carefree, quickly helped Xiaolan up.

She would never let her best friend suffer for someone else.

Even though that person was her best friend's father, in Sonoko's eyes, no outsider could compare to her best friend, Ran.

Um... except for Kazama.

"It's alright, it's alright. Capable people often have eccentricities, and Sonoko's mother is like that too."

Shiro Suzuki naturally wouldn't really hold a grudge against a little girl.

Moreover, Sonoko and Ran have been friends for many years.

After making a lighthearted joke, the tense atmosphere that had just been tense became lively again.

"Hmph, Dad, I've remembered everything you just said. I'm going to tell Mom when she gets back!"

Yuanzi stands with her hands on her hips.

"No, Sonoko, I was wrong!"

Shiro Suzuki quickly apologized.

Despite his outward appearances, everyone treats him with the respect due to a host of people, always referring to him as "Chairman" or "Chairman at home."

At home, however, Shiro Suzuki undoubtedly held a subordinate position.

Sonoko Suzuki > Tomoko Suzuki > Ayako Suzuki > Jiro Suzuki > Lupin (Jiro Suzuki's dog) > Shiro Suzuki.

If Tomoko finds out, he'll definitely be sleeping in the study this month.

Wait, this seems like a good thing?

Shiro Suzuki is over fifty years old, with a large belly, and is increasingly unable to keep up with his strength.

"Dad, I need to see your sincerity first!"

As Yuanzi spoke, she fidgeted with one hand.

I can keep quiet, but Dad, you definitely have to give me some hush money.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Sonoko, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Shiro Suzuki gave him a wink.

He was signaling to the gardener to give him some face, since there were outsiders present.

Sonoko was smug and ignored her father's pleading eyes.

There were no outsiders present.

Kazama and Ran are her beloved friends and family in Sonoko.

"Kazama, come on, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Having already made a hefty profit, Yuanzi generously invited his friends out for a shopping spree.

Shiro Suzuki sighed.

Daughters grow up and leave home; now they're thinking of using their own money to support outsiders.

What should we do then?

"Xiaolan, don't mind that old man, I'll treat you to a big meal."

The gardener called out.
