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

Chapter 457 The Shadow Cabinet's Final Probing

Hamaka Misao, the vice president of the Dongchen Society, was completely unaware of whether the Black Organization was taking any action.

However, Hamaka Misao had already heard about what happened at the Dongchen Association headquarters building last night.

He hadn't expected Batman to be able to take down the entire Mud Ginseng Association all by himself.

Even more unexpectedly, Batman dared to rush to the Dongchen Society after taking down Muddy, and then to the top-floor office of the Dongchen Society headquarters to communicate with Furukawa Teng!

Hamaka Misao had no idea what Batman and Furukawa Teng had said.

If it weren't for Furukawa Teng inexplicably starting to arrange some things today, he wouldn't have thought about Batman at all. It wasn't until the security guard at the gate told him that Furukawa Teng's state was not quite right that he suddenly realized it.

Batman is most likely planning to take down the Muddy Gathering as well after dealing with the Eastern Star Society.

The best way to deal with the Dongchen Society is to directly control its leader, Guhe Teng, and then, in Guhe Teng's name, summon all the Dongchen Society's executives to the conference room.

Then they'll spout nonsense about getting paid at midnight without weapons, and then wipe everyone out in one fell swoop.

However, Batman did not do that.

Hamaka Misao would rather Batman had done that.

Because if Batman did that, he would realize something was wrong that very night, and then lead his group to break away from the East Star Society and go solo, emulating the Iron Society, to become another underground emperor.

The fact that Batman didn't do that, and didn't lay a hand on Teng Furukawa, can only mean one thing.

What agreement did he reach with Furukawa Teng?

From now on, Batman and Furukawa Teng will most likely be in a cooperative relationship. This top fighter in Tokyo's underworld will become Furukawa Teng's ally, and the effectiveness of his subsequent plans will be greatly reduced!
Hamaka Misao cannot allow this.

He's a modern-day Moriarty, never the type to be subservient to others.

From the day he joined the Dongchen Society, Hamachu Misao had been secretly expanding his power within the society, preparing to start a civil war, eliminate Koga Teng, unify the Dongchen Society, and unify the underworld!

This plan is now clearly impossible to realize.

Unless Hamaichi Misao can find a group of helpers, a group that can lend him a hand, allowing him to deal with Batman's powerful allies, and fortunately—

He does indeed have such a group of supporters.

Shadow cabinet.

As one of the true giants hidden behind the scenes in Tokyo's underground world.

The Shadow Cabinet's strength is beyond doubt. They are furious that they were fooled by the leaders of the three major underworld organizations and are considering how to make the only remaining one of the three major underworld organizations, namely the Dongchen Society, pay the price.

Clearly, the Shadow Cabinet ultimately chose him as their candidate.

Hamaka Misao thus became the new underground agent of the Shadow Cabinet in the underworld.

Having already won over hearts and minds within the Dongchen Society, and now with the financial support of the Shadow Cabinet, he has clearly become a force to be reckoned with. Overthrowing Guhe Teng and taking down Batman would not be particularly difficult for him.

He's a criminal mastermind who managed to survive in Beika Town for ten years.

He knew this city inside and out, knew exactly what Batman's weaknesses were, and had found an opponent who could ensure Batman's defeat.

Hamaka Misao sat on the sofa.

He gently touched his forehead with his finger, recalling the person's identity information.

—That was a master bomber who had orchestrated several bombings in Tokyo. He had previously caused the deaths of two elite officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the line of duty, and now, having witnessed someone imitating his methods to carry out a bombing, he had returned to Tokyo.

That was the bomber who used bombs to kill Matsuda Jinpei and Ogiwara Kenji in succession.

The bomber returned to Tokyo solely to make the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department pay the price.

However, under Hamaka Misao's employment, this bomber was happy to add Batman's name to his kill list, since killing Batman was not difficult for him anyway.

Ultimately, it's just a mortal body, unable to withstand the direct bombardment of high-value bombs.

If the bomb doesn't kill them, it simply means the explosive yield wasn't enough.

It is obvious that the issue of insufficient explosive yield is not within the scope of the bomber's considerations; he always has bombs.

"Ha, I'll let you know about this."

“I’m completely different from idiots like Furukawa Teng. So what if I take down Batman? I can easily send Batman to report to the Sanzu River with just a little effort.”

"You're getting excellent value for your money by hiring me."

Hamaka Misao said in a low voice.

------

Last night, the Shadow Cabinet held an emergency meeting to discuss matters concerning super artificial intelligence.

Because the Sindora Corporation was suffering from public opinion attacks within the United States and was besieged on all sides, it had no time to spare. This supercomputer capable of running super artificial intelligence was just what the Shadow Cabinet needed.

However, their plan failed.

Indeed, members of the Shadow Cabinet pressured the Sindora Foundation to keep the supercomputer in Japan.

To avoid creating more enemies, the Sindora Foundation would undoubtedly agree to leave the supercomputer behind in exchange for breathing room, but the Suzuki Foundation also wanted the supercomputer.

The members of the shadow cabinet were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they were no match for them and had no choice but to hastily back down.

As for what happened at the Mihana Municipal Building
There were indeed several members of the shadow cabinet present at the meeting. They proposed a plan to sanction the Muddy Association and the Dongchen Association, and to win over a new proxy. However, as it turns out, plans can never keep up with changes.

The Mud Ginseng Society was wiped out by Batman last night.

The fact that the Dongchen Society didn't have it suggests that the leader of the Dongchen Society made some dirty deal with Batman.

Therefore, the shadow cabinet began to look for new targets.
They set their sights on the ambitious Hamaka Misao, who was actively seeking to contact the Shadow Cabinet, and poured resources into him, hoping that he could quickly grow into an underworld overlord surpassing Furukawa Teng.

This is the Shadow Cabinet's final test of Batman.

However, those were not things that the members of the Shadow Cabinet who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Japanese Public Security Administration needed to consider.

This member was surprised by the sudden return of the Gold Watch Group's public security personnel to Tokyo.
He felt that something must have been leaked, and subconsciously suspected Furuya Rei, who was still in Nishitama City. However, Furuya Rei's investigation diary was being sent here every day, so he obviously hadn't returned to Tokyo yet.

This made the high-ranking Japanese public security official somewhat uneasy.

If we can't find out exactly what happened...

He might become another discarded member of the Shadow Cabinet, exposed and eliminated. He must act quickly to investigate and resolve the crisis.
