Upon learning that Hakuba Saguru was the son of Superintendent General Hakuba, Nakamori Ginzo immediately became enthusiastic.

"Kid! If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me!"

He walked up to Hakuba Saguru, who had just finished his interview, and patted him on the shoulder. "After all, this is your first time dealing with Kaito Kid. Don't be shy if you don't understand something."

"In that case, I'll begin by asking you questions."

Hakuba Saguru, his head bowed, asked, "Do you know the gender of Kaito Kid?"

"Well?"

Nakamori Ginzo paused for a moment, then said, "It's probably a man..."

Hakuba Saguru pressed on, "So, do you know your age, height, birthday, blood type, weight, body type, personality, hairstyle, and preferred type of woman?"

"?"

Nakamori Ginzo's expression turned strange.

"This really shocks me..."

Hakuba Saguru raised his head and looked at Nakamori San: "You don't even know these things? Have you been chasing Kaito Kid for nothing all these years?"

"That's not how you put it, Detective Hakuba."

Just then, a sound came.

Nakamori Ginzo turned around and saw Fujino walking slowly over, trying to smooth things over for him. "Kaito Kid's methods are very special. Through his superb disguise skills, he can impersonate almost anyone. Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to obtain any useful information."

Brother Fujino!

Suddenly, he felt inexplicably moved.

"Oh?"

Hakuba Saguru's reddish-brown eyes turned to Fujino. "You must be Detective Fujino."

"You know me?"

Fujino met his gaze into her dark eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, as gentlemen locked eyes in a fierce battle.

Finally, Hakuba Saguru was the first to give in. He took a deep breath and explained, "I've heard my father mention you a lot these past few days since I returned to Japan. He speaks very highly of you."

"Superintendent General Hakuba has a very high opinion of me?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I've done some research on the cases you've solved in the past... Last time, you should have crossed paths with Kaito Kid."

Hakuba Saguru did not answer Fujino's question. Instead, he asked in return, "Is this all the information you've gathered? Nothing at all. If that's the case, I'm very disappointed."

"What do you think intelligence is?"

Fujino narrowed his eyes and a slight smile played on his lips. "A phantom thief who can change his voice at will, disguise his height, perfectly impersonate others, and even fake his personality—how do you plan to gather information about him?"

"Anyone who has fought with him will definitely have some real information about his identity."

Hakuba Saguru said expressionlessly.

Fujino turned his gaze back to Hakuba Saguru and launched a frantic interrogation. "Then how do you know that the information is true?"

When dealing with Kaito Kid who can change his own characteristics, even his height, appearance, and personality, don't you ever doubt that the information you've gathered is fake?

If it's false information, then is the truth derived from it necessarily correct?

Hakuba Saguru fell into deep thought.

Hakuba Saguru found Fujino's words difficult to understand.

Hakuba Saguru somewhat understood what Fujino meant.

Hakuba Saguru thought Fujino made sense.

Hakuba Saguru has fallen completely silent.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hakuba Saguru sighed, "You're right. If it's about dealing with Kaito Kid, just gathering information might not be very effective... Anyway, I have absolutely no interest in that boring thief like Kaito Kid... The person I really want to capture..."

"Alright, you can have that boring thief. I have other work to do."

At this point, Hakuba Saguru suddenly stopped talking and then turned and left.

The rooftop of Beika Town, the Mori family.

[Kaito Kid vs. Police, High School Great Detective]

High School Detective Fujino and High School Detective Hakuba Saguru up to fight Kaito Kid!

Tonight, will Kaito Kid be arrested?!

"That Fujino guy actually went to help the police fight against that Kaito Kid?!"

In front of the television, Conan stared blankly at the content on the screen for a moment.

After regaining his composure, he sighed.

If he were still the High School Detective Kudo Shinichi, then he would definitely be one of those people fighting against Kaito Kid on the big screen right now, right?

Why do I feel inexplicably envious?

Damn it, it's all the Black Organization's fault!

Soon, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Fujino and Nakamori Ginzo were in the monitoring room.

At this moment, Fujino was still holding the Wooden Sword he had just taken out from a secluded spot.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

The heavy, black laptop suddenly started beeping.

The police officer in the gray suit pointed to the flashing red dot on the computer screen and said anxiously, "Inspector, there's an intruder in the basement!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon Nakamori Ginzo exclaimed in shock, "Kaito Kid is actually going to sneak in from the basement?!"

Afterwards, the group went to the exhibition hall of the Bronze Statue with purple pupils.

Upon arriving at the exhibition hall, Fujino noticed white smoke billowing from beneath a section of the floor.

A figure rose from the smoke beneath the floor.

"Sunday, September 2nd, 8:04:31.07 PM".

Hakuba Saguru's voice came from within the smoke. As the smoke cleared, he pulled off the gas mask he was wearing. "Kaito Kid has been arrested by me, Hakuba Saguru!"

"Well?!"

Everyone present gasped in surprise.

Fujino, meanwhile, squinted at Hakuba Saguru.

With the help of Vision Enhancement Glasses, he easily discovered some flaws.

His pupils were not reddish-brown, and his hair was not golden but a brownish-coffee color.

Although the voices are similar, the intonations are completely different.

Yes, Hakuba Saguru has probably been replaced by that old Kaito Kid.

Where is Kaito Kid?!

Nakamori Ginzo stepped forward and asked impatiently.

"He's in the basement, fast asleep right now."

"Everyone assemble in the basement! We absolutely cannot let him escape!"

At Nakamori Ginzo's command, all the police officers rushed into the basement.

"Detective Hakuba, please share your thoughts on the capture of Kaito Kid."

A young female reporter stepped forward and began interviewing Kaito Kid.

"Oh... well..."

Before he could finish speaking, the female reporter exclaimed in surprise, "Detective Fujino, what are you doing?!"

Hakuba Saguru turned around and saw Fujino standing behind him with a sinister smile on his face, raising his Wooden Sword and smashing it down towards his head.

Depend on!

Kuroba Kaito was completely dumbfounded.

He dodged to the side, barely managing to avoid the attack.

After dodging the attack, he recovered his senses and immediately went to Bengbu.

Why is Fujino here too?

What are you doing!

Kuroba Kaito spoke to Fujino in Hakuba Saguru's voice, "Even if I caught Kaito Kid first, you don't need to hold a grudge, do you?!"

Holding a grudge?!

The female reporter nearby immediately seized the opportunity, waving her hand to signal the photographer to point the lens at Fujino, and asked from a distance, "Detective Fujino, was your attack on Detective Hakuba because of the fact that Kaito Kid was stolen?"

Fujino glanced at the female reporter but didn't pay her much attention.

"You are not actually yourself. After you leave the basement, you become a different person."

With the Wooden Sword in his hand pointed at Kuroba Kaito voice, "Am I right, Kaito Kid?"

"Kaito Kid?! Kaito Kid has finally shown up!"

The female reporter looked bewildered, then waved her hand and pointed the camera at Kuroba Kaito.

"Why are you leaving it here?"

After saying that, a metal device popped out from behind Kuroba Kaito. On top of the device, a hot air balloon continued to expand with the sound of air being added.

As the hot air balloon expanded, he leaped onto the Bronze Statue, which was nearly two or three meters tall.

As the hot air balloon inflated, he squeezed his legs tightly around the Bronze Statue's head.

Then, the Bronze Statue slowly rose up along with Kuroba Kaito's figure.

"Will he be able to steal the Bronze Statue this time?"

The female reporter standing nearby became increasingly excited, and the cameraman's lens gave Kuroba Kaito shot.

Just as the Bronze Statue had flown less than fifty centimeters into the air, it suddenly stopped.

Kuroba Kaito looked down and saw that the bottom of the Bronze Statue had been chained up.

"Was this the work of that guy?!"

Kuroba Kaito frowned and glanced at the night sky above the Museum's dome.

Seeing that the moon had appeared, he removed the purple gem from the Bronze Statue's eye and then aimed it at the moon.

However, nothing happened.

"Looks like all that work was for nothing again?"

Kuroba Kaito sighed.

"So, this is really troublesome."

Fujino took a deep breath, reached into his pocket, and popped the Enhancement Card he had prepared beforehand.

[Advanced Strength Enhancement Card used, 200% Strength, Time remaining: 9 minutes...]

[Detective Enhancement activated, 225% physical ability, seven minutes remaining...]

As the system notification sounded in his ear, Fujino strode forward.

With one foot planted on the base of the Bronze Statue, he leaped high into the air, wielding Wooden Sword that pierced straight into the hot air balloon.

"What the hell?!"

Kuroba Kaito was a little dumbfounded as he watched Fujino's figure gradually approach.

He remembered that the Bronze Statue was about two meters tall, and now his hot air balloon, carrying the Bronze Statue, was flying about a meter high...

Holy crap, he just jumps from three meters high like that?

This doesn't make sense!

What exactly is the structure of this thing?

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Kuroba Kaito's hot air balloon suddenly burst open.

"Boom!"

The Bronze Statue crashed onto the Museum floor.

Because Bronze Statue are made of bronze, they are very durable and resistant to impact.

But the floor suffered the consequences, as it was smashed to pieces by the massive Bronze Statue.
