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

Chapter 242 Climbing Mountains? Chao Wenzhao?
————Dongchen Association, Mud Ginseng Association, Steel Association.

According to the files of the Fourth Investigation Division, the Mud Ginseng Association has recently returned to its peak, the Steel Association is an outsider with unclear motives who entered Tokyo, and the East Star Association is somewhat special.

There was no information related to the Dongchen Society in the Fourth Investigation Division.

Chen En only heard about the Dongchen Society once, from Matsuyama. It was said that every casino was backed by the Dongchen Society, so he made a special trip to Kabukicho's Tenkaichi-gai to see what this Dongchen Society was all about.

Then he discovered that the various strongholds of the Dongchen Society were not interconnected at all, and the Dongchen Society cadre he found was only in charge of the casino.

—This casino even uses small steel balls from Tamah.

Seriously speaking, even if the police do manage to locate this casino, there's nothing they can do about it. After all, the illicit profits associated with BBQ are a significant source of income for this country.

Mud Ginseng Associations are easy to find.

However, the Mud-Scented Association is currently in chaos due to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's raid, and the so-called high-ranking members of the Mud-Scented Association, such as Chairman Kido Natsufusa and others, have disappeared.

These three underworld forces each possess unique skills, making it difficult to capture either the thief or the kingpin.

------

The next day, during the day.

Chen En took a sip of coffee, pondering the current situation in Tokyo.

Now, three underworld forces have suddenly risen to prominence.

It's obvious that some powerful force behind the scenes is supporting this, and even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are completely unaware of this matter. At least, he didn't see anything when he hacked in yesterday.

Furthermore, what surprised Chen En even more was that Furuya Rei was transferred from Beika Town to the neighboring Seimodo City.

The reason is that Rei Furuya is investigating who within the Japanese Public Security Bureau leaked Makoto Kusakabe's whereabouts.

This made him wonder: Could it be that the Steel Society had an inside agent within the Japanese Public Security Bureau? Or perhaps it wasn't the Steel Society, but some other force that had sent someone to infiltrate the Japanese Public Security Bureau, fearing that Furuya Reizo's investigation would uncover it, and thus decided to strike first?
If this is true, it might be the Black Organization.

—Not necessarily. If it were the Black Organization, Furuya Rei would probably be dead by now. After all, some people within the Japanese Public Security Bureau know Furuya Rei's undercover identity, even Kuroda Hyōe, who was in the hospital ten years ago, knew.

It's hard to say how many people with similar backgrounds to Kuroda Hyoue are unaware of this.

crunch.

The sound of the door opening was barely perceptible.

However, Chen En didn't even bother to turn around and check who it was.
Because he knew without a doubt that the person who pushed open the door was Ai Haibara.

As a member of the Junior Detective League

Ai Haibara was also given a plane ticket by Ran Mouri, and since the members of the Detective Boys were all planning to join in the fun, she would seem out of place if she didn't go, so she naturally agreed to the trip to Hakodate.

However, she was puzzled as to why Chen En wasn't going.
"The second young lady of the Suzuki family will be there too."

"Since you and that second young lady are in a relationship, if you don't go, and if Miss Suzuki encounters any danger because of it, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

Ai Haibara leaned against the wall and said, almost teasingly,
In response, Chen En simply took a sip of coffee and raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing will happen."

"Besides, if I don't go, someone else will naturally go on that plane to act as an insurance agent."

—The matter concerning Natsuki Sakai has been resolved.

He called Kaito Kuroba early yesterday morning, waking him up. Kaito Kuroba then confirmed that he would indeed be taking the plane to Hakodate tonight. With the white dove representing safety present, the Magician of the Silver Wings will most likely have a smooth ending.

"Today I'm going to investigate the whereabouts of the batch of explosives that the Steel Society smuggled on the black market."

"I have a bad feeling about the purpose of that batch of explosives..."

Before Chen En could finish speaking, the phone rang.

He took his phone out of his pocket, pressed the answer button, and held it to his ear.

The next moment, Conan's voice came from the phone.
"The uncle has received another commission today."

"The client this time was a Mr. Wenzao. He said he thought he had stomach cancer, so he hired an assassin named Silver Fox to assassinate him. However, when he went to the hospital for a follow-up examination, he found that it was a misdiagnosis."

"Now he regrets it, but he can't get in touch with Silver Fox, so he has to come to Uncle for help."

"He's going hiking today, and Silver Fox is also going to assassinate him today. So, he wants me and Uncle to go hiking with him today to ensure his safety."

"Because if Silver Fox fails to assassinate him today, the commission will be automatically cancelled."

Mountain climbing? Cultural and creative design? Trendy cultural and creative design, perhaps?

The mission information he had seen on the dark web instantly flashed into Chen En's mind.

At that time, Chao Wenzao posted a message on the dark web, specifically asking Silver Fox to assassinate him. After that, Chen En's attention was diverted to other things, and he only spent a little time each day paying attention to it.

It seems that Chao Wenzao has already contacted Silver Fox, and Silver Fox has already accepted the mission?
—For such a divine being.

Generally speaking, Chen En's attitude is to put aside his desire to help others and respect their fate, but since this guy doesn't want to die now and has caused a blunder, he should theoretically lend a hand.

However, Chao Wenzhao was lying.

Assassination commissions on the dark web naturally need to be discussed with the assassin. No matter when, they can use the dark web as a channel to hide the true information of both parties to communicate. It is impossible for Chao Wenzao not to be able to contact Silver Fox.

He's lying, but why is he lying?

unknown.

However, a security mission message had already popped up within Chen En's field of vision.

------

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level: Medium. Completing this task will reward you with 50 points!]

------

This guy, he asked for his own death, and he even dragged so many people into it?
Chen En frowned and asked,
"Ask him for me, is he perhaps going hiking with a group?"

A few noisy sounds came from Conan's direction.

Then, Conan's voice came from the phone.
"Yeah, how do you know?"

Chen En: ?
What are you talking about? Call the police?
Are you really treating detectives like mercenaries? Are you suggesting that when Kogoro Mouri goes to protect Shio Bunzo from assassins, he'll bring his whole family along? If so, I really need to teach Kogoro Mouri a lesson!
