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

Chapter 298 HERO is dead! HERO is dead!!!

"Alright, Brother Chen En, since you've already finished the work ahead of schedule, just ask me for a ticket."

"Then why are you still here? Do you miss me, your older brother?"

Suzuki Jirokichi stroked his chin, looked Chen En up and down, and said with some surprise,
He had previously mentioned that Chen En was the type of person with low emotional intelligence who would only visit someone when he needed something.

In other words, Chen En's visit this time was probably just to renovate the interior of the Suzuki Group's headquarters building and, incidentally, to give him a heads-up. Once that was all said, Chen En should leave.

However, the fact that Chen En is still in his room suggests that he seems to have something else to do.

Suzuki Jirokichi stared at Chen En for a while.

Chen En then magically put the coffee cup away.
He looked up and said,
"Uncle, I want to ask, which yakuza organization contacted the Suzuki Group to issue a warning?"

"What's the name? What are the specifications? And where is the base located?"

—You know this?
A hint of surprise flashed in Suzuki Jirokichi's eyes.
He remembered that this matter seemed to be handled by a high-ranking internal official, and only they should have some records of it.

Could it be that Chen En just finished renovating the Suzuki Group headquarters building and took a look at the records there?
Thinking of this, Suzuki Jirokichi's face darkened.
Suzuki Shiro is incredibly lucky to have such a son-in-law.
In every sense of the word.

"Dongchen Society".

Jirokichi Suzuki sighed and said,

"The Dongchen Society was the one that warned of the air disaster and the Steel Society attack a little later than you."

"But according to that high-ranking official's description, several days before the Steel Society chose to hijack the flight, the Dongchen Society had actually already found an opportunity to make contact with that high-ranking official, but it was not taken seriously and was only brought up now."

————Dongchen Society?

Chen En was no stranger to this name.

When Chen En investigated the Steel Society, he also stumbled upon the Dongchen Society.
However, like the Steel Society, the Dongchen Society has no publicly known headquarters.

Even their organizational structure is loose, and the headquarters of the Dongchen Society cannot be found at all.

Therefore, Chen En still harbored some reservations about the existence of the Dongchen Society.
Jirokichi Suzuki has now stated that the yakuza organization that connected with the Suzuki Group was the Toujin-kai.

This, on the contrary, made Chen En's eyes light up.

Once there's a breakthrough, things will be much easier.

The rest can be resolved using the five-minute Oracle state.
Since the Dongchen Association has indeed contacted the Suzuki Foundation and is an enemy of the Steel Association, the headquarters should be able to find out!
Chen En turned his head to look at the clock over there.
There's still a little time before midnight.

Suzuki Jirokichi then stood up.

He picked up the empty glass, turned around to pour himself a drink, and was still saying...

"Brother Chen En, since you're here, why don't you have a couple of drinks with me!"

"This is a fine, aged wine, I guarantee it..."

Just as Suzuki Jirokichi filled one glass and was about to pour the second,
It felt a little too quiet behind me.
He immediately turned to look behind him, and sure enough, Chen En, dressed in the Batman suit, had vanished without a trace. This Batman wasn't just dressed like Batman;
In terms of disappearing halfway through speaking, it is exactly the same as the original.

Watching Chen En disappear from sight,

Jirokichi Suzuki sighed.
He put the cork back in, then returned the wine and the empty glass to their original places, and sat down on the sofa.
Next, we observed the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's performance during the interview with reporters.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Jirokichi was not the only one watching the live television broadcast.
Dongchen Association's president, Furukawa Teng, was also watching the television broadcast.
He instructed his men to insert videotapes copied from other television stations into the television and rewind them.

The camera lingered on a corner of the footage taken by the television station's helicopter.

That was a broken bat symbol.

Guhe Teng was immediately startled.
The Shadow Cabinet ordered the three underworld factions to deal with Bat.
This wouldn't have been a problem for the three underworld organizations originally; the only issue was finding Batman. Now, it's been confirmed that Batman might actually be Batman, or even the legendary Phantom Thief Kid, and has some connection to the Suzuki Foundation.
Furukawa Teng immediately abandoned his previous plan to attack Batman.

—There is an old saying in this mysterious Eastern country: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

The Shadow Cabinet's sphere of influence is indeed quite vast, but it doesn't venture that far; it only operates within Tokyo.
Therefore, the Suzuki Group, which is the leading conglomerate in the entire Kanto region, is the one he wants to win over.

However, Furukawa Teng never expected that the Batman who stirred up trouble in Hakodate City would be hit by a bomb and die instantly during his first operation against the Steel Society after returning to Tokyo!

Even the Bat symbol was blown away; it's hard to imagine that Batman is still alive!

Guhe Teng leaned back in his chair.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself,

"This isn't right. Could it be that the Steel Society has some experts I don't know about?"

He bet he wasn't the only one who saw that fragment of the bat symbol.
Tomorrow, the forum will probably be filled with headlines and posts like this.
The title is: [HERO is dead! HERO is dead!!!]

"Oh well, Batman is dead, so be it. I was actually thinking of recruiting him."

Furukawa Teng sighed.
After all, Batman's true identity is Phantom Thief Kid.

As a legendary phantom thief, Phantom Thief Kid's thieving abilities are undeniable. If Phantom Thief Kid could be put to good use, he would surely generate enormous profits for him. Unfortunately, all of this has vanished like a dream with the death of Batman.

However, just as Guhe Teng sighed,
The phone rang suddenly from the headquarters of the Dongchen Society.
Guhe Teng frowned.
He picked up the landline phone and said irritably,

"I'm not in a good mood right now, so if you don't have anything urgent to tell me, don't bother me!"

"...What? Batman is here? Are you kidding me? Isn't Batman dead?"

I heard the voice on the other end of the phone.
Guhe Teng was taken aback.
He picked up his cane, stood up, and listened as the person on the other end of the phone described the visitor's appearance and elusive skills, and also mentioned which Dongchen Society cadre was stationed at the Dongchen Society headquarters that night.

————【A Modern Moriarty】Hamanaka Misaka!

Hamaka Misao, who is essentially the deputy head and head of management and operations of the Dongchen Society, appears to be talking to Batman in the conference room.

Guhe Teng felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he thought of this.

He had known all along that Hamaka Misao was rebellious, but he never expected that he wouldn't even be personally informed of something as important as meeting Batman! Damn it, he was going to headquarters right now to see what this Batman was all about!
