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

Chapter 273 The ultimate winner, Takuzo Akie...?
All the guards deployed by the Death Merchant vanished without making a sound.

Chen En didn't want to waste any more words with the Death Merchant.
He lifted the Death Merchant with one hand and sprayed the Fear Gas directly into its face, forcibly inducing a state of terror so he could extract information as quickly as possible. However, the Death Merchant was unable to utter a single word.

Brian, terrified, revealed all his trading information.

If the investigation were conducted according to Brian's words, not a single person from the Hakodate Port Police Station would be able to escape, but that's not what Chen En wants. What he wants is the current whereabouts of Takumi Onoe.

— Chen En has just visited the core building of the Axe River family.

The place had been bloodied and slaughtered, with not a single living person left, yet it remained brightly lit, which meant that no one noticed or called the police even though everyone there was dead. Naturally, Takumi Fue was not among the dead.

This is clearly abnormal. In the original movie, Takuzo Onoe did not have such great power, nor did he kill so many people.

Furthermore, according to the normal plot, Takuzo Axe should have been eliminated after being arrested by Ginzo Nakamori. It's impossible that he's still alive and kicking. There must be some deviation from the original plot.

"Tell me, where in Hakodate did you plant the bomb?"

Chen En asked sternly,

Hearing this, Kuroba Toichi and Hattori Heiji, who were wondering who this guy dressed like Batman was, as well as Conan and Kuroba Kaito, who had already recognized Chen En, were all startled by Chen En's words.

—Brian never mentioned that he had planted a bomb in Hakodate.

Did Chen En receive incorrect information? Or did Brian really do such a thing? If he did, how did Chen En know? Even the Black Feather father and son who infiltrated Brian's group didn't know about it!
"B-bomb..."

Brian, gripped by delusions of terror, finally revealed the truth under Chen En's persistent questioning.

To be on the safe side, in case he was unable to evacuate Hakodate City in case of danger, he had his subordinates buy bombs and plant them in many places in Hakodate City before he came to the city.

Brian would then threaten the police to drop their pursuit or investigation of him by detonating a bomb.

This was done before Brian arrived in Hakodate City, so Toichi Kuroba, who arrived in Hakodate City at the same time as Brian, was also unaware of it until now.

Having forced Brian to reveal his exact location, Chen En casually tossed him aside.

He drew his grappling hook, aimed it at the helicopter that had just appeared above Goryokaku with the sound of its rotors, and was about to pull the trigger when Conan realized something and shouted, "..."

"Batman! If nothing unexpected happens, Tokie Takumi should be going to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen En's figure had already disappeared from Conan's sight as the grappling hook gun retracted, causing Conan's eyelids to twitch, because he didn't remember that Chen En actually had a grappling hook gun.

This thing looks exactly like the grappling hook gun of Phantom Thief Kid, just in a different color.
Is it an illusion?

Watching the helicopter speeding towards Mount Hakodate,
Conan was momentarily speechless.
Since Chen En drove directly towards Mount Hakodate, it means that Chen En already knows that there is a secret treasure buried by Keizaburo Onoe in Mount Hakodate—but how did he know that?
Chen En was still lying in the hospital, unconscious, this morning.

Even if he woke up in the afternoon, without touching the Star Prism Blade or any related personnel, and conducting the investigation entirely on his own, how could he possibly find the location of the Axe River Treasure?

Kaito Kuroba was also somewhat surprised.
He pressed the switch, opened the hang glider, and the two small thrusters that appeared behind the hang glider made Kuroba Touichi, who was watching from the side, pause in surprise. He watched as Kuroba Kaito took off from the spot and flew towards Mount Hakodate.

—Huh? The hang glider has a propulsion unit at the back? Why doesn't mine?
I ordered all of these from Professor Agasa. Could it be that I haven't contacted Professor Agasa in a long time, and he gave me the basic version?
Kuroba Toichi's expression changed slightly. The next moment, he glanced at the person next to him, threw down a flashbang smoke bomb, and immediately disappeared in front of Conan and Hattori Heiji.

Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji's expression became even more astonished.
No, what is going on?

Why did a guy dressed like Batman just descend from the sky with a grappling hook and throw out a cloud of smoke, and then the infamous Death Merchant just answer all my questions?

What kind of smoke is this? Truth serum?

Behind him, Conan dropped the star-shaped scimitar.

He reached out and caught it. The next moment, to Heiji Hattori's astonishment, Conan also opened his hang glider and flew down, landing on the ground and looking towards Mount Hakodate with some worry.

Hattori Heiji:?
No, there are five people here, am I the only one who can't fly?
When did you guys secretly evolve without telling me?

------

At this very moment, at Mount Hakodate.

Several vehicles were speeding towards Mount Hakodate.

Just as Chen En had predicted,
Fu Jiangtuo San neither came to Wulingguo nor looked for Xinglingdao.

Then the only possibility is that this guy has already found the location of the Axe River Treasure.

"Grandpa's secret treasure is mine now!"

Inhuman greed shone in Takuzo Axe's eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot; he was still a gambler who had lost everything.

—He had indeed risked everything for the secret treasure of the Axe River.
He eliminated the Axe River family, who had stood in his way.
He ruined the entire Fujiang zaibatsu.
The criminal gangs, which had been developing for many years, were now using all their resources to control the police officers.
Apart from his few close confidants, he had nothing left.

But, so what?
If we can obtain the Axe River Treasure, everything will be reversed.

That was the ultimate weapon that Keizaburo Onoe claimed could change the course of the Second World War. Anyone who could get their hands on such an ultimate weapon could make a fortune no matter where they sold it!
He will take back all the losses and everything he has lost, a thousand times over!
Nearly.

The distance is getting closer.

The great treasure that the Fujiang family has been searching for for two generations is right in front of us!

Unable to contain his excitement, Takumi Fukie even wanted to sing a song for it.
However, at the same time, he noticed something red appearing on the horizon in the distance.

—Is that an airplane?

A look of horror appeared in Takuzo Akatsumi's eyes.

He considered the worst-case scenario.
