People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 837 Joint Action
Heiji Hattori had previously agreed to ask Minamoto Mitsu for help.

Although Ai Haibara has already been rescued and he can't be of much help in that regard, he can still help investigate matters related to the Omi Federation.

Of course, it's unlikely that he could easily travel from Osaka to the Tokyo area to help with the investigation.

However, it wouldn't be a problem for the police headquarters in Osaka Prefecture to look through those dusty or rather secret documents, since his father—the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters—had already granted permission.

The text message sent to Amuro Tooru's phone was delivered by Hattori Heiji.

He sent the same text message to Xiang Yuanguang, as well as to the other person who provided him with further directions for the investigation—a renowned detective on par with him.

Even the shrunken Shinichi Kudo received a copy.

"This operation seems to be quite large in scale."

Inside the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, in the chief's office, Hattori Heiji leaned against the wall, looking at a downloaded document on his phone and muttering to himself.

If he hadn't investigated the matter, he wouldn't have known that the yakuza forces in the Kansai region could be so rampant. He had originally thought that such bizarre yakuza forces could only exist in the Hokkaido region.

After all, the Hokkaido-based Fue Zaibatsu is notorious for having connections in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Logically speaking, given that the Ooka family, a local power in the Kansai region, was unwilling to cooperate with the yakuza, it would be impossible for a yakuza organization like the Omi Federation, whose influence in the Kansai region was even greater than that of the Tojo Clan in the Kanto region, to emerge.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really strange that this thing even exists.

Although Hattori Heiji lowered his voice, the entire headquarters office was only so big, so even if he spoke very softly, Hattori Heizo, as the headquarters commander, could hear him clearly.

The highest-ranking officer of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters looked up and stared at his eldest son.

"Heiji, you still lack experience."

"I told you long ago that you are still a little lacking in the talent of a detective. If you want to truly become a name that can represent the Kansai region like Shinichi Kudo, you can't do it just by relying on the police."

—Dad always liked to dampen his spirits at this time.

Hattori Heiji's lips twitched slightly; he was too lazy to argue with Hattori Heizo.

After all, his father caught him investigating the Omi Federation on his own, and it was his father who granted him investigative authority. Otherwise, he would probably be in detention right now, facing a tearful Kazuha.

She watched as her eldest son remained silent, only looking down at the information on his phone.

Hattori Heizo nodded in satisfaction, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts and focusing on the files on his computer.

He is currently investigating information related to the Omi Federation.

Regardless, the Omi Federation is a representative yakuza group in the Kansai region. Now that members of the Omi Federation have infiltrated the Tokyo area, it's time for the Kansai police headquarters to show their strength.

Otherwise, it would be too late if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department called to inquire.

Although, in Hattori Heizo's opinion, the Superintendent General of Police Hakuba shouldn't have done such a thing.

"...It's time to establish a joint investigation headquarters and a special investigation headquarters." Hattori Heizo thought to himself, setting the tone for the upcoming operations of the police headquarters in the Kansai region.

Although he was only the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, in reality, the area he could influence was far more than just the area of ​​the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

With the overt and covert support of the Ooka family, his influence has expanded considerably.

Other police headquarters chiefs would give him face no matter what, especially since this operation was one that every police headquarters could profit from, so they had no reason to refuse.

However, to mobilize most of the police headquarters in the Kansai region to launch a simultaneous attack on the Omi Federation, half a day is not enough to plan; at least a day and a half is required.

In other words, the simultaneous crackdown on the Omi Association by multiple police headquarters in the Kansai region will be postponed until around tomorrow afternoon.

Although the timing may have been somewhat delayed, according to Hattori Heizo's plan, this operation should be foolproof, since the current chairman of the Omi Federation could never have imagined...

In a retaliatory operation against the Tojo Clan in the Kanto region, the first to retaliate were not the Tojo Clan and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but the police headquarters of various cities in the Kansai region!
"Wait, Dad, I've got some interesting stuff here."

Just as Hattori Heizo was typing on the keyboard, making general plans for the next operation, Hattori Heiji's voice suddenly rang out, immediately interrupting Hattori Heizo's thoughts.

He frowned at Hattori Heiji, about to say something.

But then he saw Hattori Heiji walk up to him in a few steps, turn his phone around so he could see part of the contents of the electronic document on the screen.

Hattori Heizo frowned immediately.

"Is this transaction information from the Omi Federation in the Kanto region?"

"Although it's a rather old transaction information, it should still be able to bring considerable profits if used properly. However, Heiji, where did you find the document? Is the source reliable?"

He didn't quite believe that his eldest son would be reliable in such a crucial matter.

Because Hattori Heizo had encountered Hattori Heiji messing up several times, and last time Hattori Heiji's slipping on the chain even caused quite serious consequences, he even used a corrective punch on Hattori Heiji for it.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Hattori Heiji that it was actually part of his plan—to make him mess up, thereby revealing the criminal's weakness and making it easier for the police to arrest him.

"...It's news from a member of the Public Security Planning Division within the Japanese Public Security Bureau at the Tokyo Regional Headquarters."

Heiji Hattori was somewhat dissatisfied with his father's distrust.

He deliberately paused for a while before giving his answer.

“This is the contact person Xiang Yuan told me about. I think it should be trustworthy. After all, in my impression, Xiang Yuan is not the kind of person who would lie. He has never deceived or hidden anything from me.”

—Is he the grandson of Genji Seido?
A knowing glint flashed in Hattori Heizo's eyes.

Since he is Xiang Yuanzhengtang's grandson, he can be trusted. Besides, he has heard about Xiang Yuanguang's previous performance. So... let's investigate the authenticity and activate him after confirming it.
