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

Chapter 645 Kuroda Hyōe's Resolve

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division is a bunch of opportunists, a fact that any yakuza boss knows very well.

This is why Furukawa Teng directly gave them money —

Never expect corrupt cops to consider past relationships.

These guys never care about old friendships, they only care about money. As long as you feed them, these corrupt cops will naturally stand on his side.

Just like now.

A message appeared on Furukawa Teng's phone.

This is the current location information of Hama Middle School.

After receiving a call from Hamaka Misao, the corrupt police officers in the Fourth Investigation Division did not hesitate to trace Hamaka Misao's signal location and then sold his location.

This behavior is somewhat callous.

However, Guhe Teng didn't care. He already knew what kind of people these were, so he didn't care about them at all.

Now that Hama-junction's location has been exposed.

Now it's time to capture Hamaka Misao, this traitor, and make this despicable guy pay the price he deserves.

As for the whereabouts of the Zorro bandits that Hamachu Misao is looking for?

There's no need to worry about that.

When Furukawa Tō learned that the Zorro Bandits were last seen near the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, he knew that the Zorro Bandits were finished.

These guys are really out of their minds, they actually managed to mess with the Suzuki Group.

I reckon Batman has already broken both his legs, and he's locked up in some dark room, waiting to be handed over to the police along with the other criminals after the incident is over.

That's always been how Batman does it.

He's already used to it.

"Do you really think Hamakachi would so easily reveal his location information?"

Ye Caisan's voice suddenly rang out.

He was still wearing that suit, standing diagonally behind Guheteng with Curaçao, and said in a low voice.

"Hamanaka is not an idiot."

"He probably already knows that someone is helping you deal with him, and he will definitely start paying attention to information that he previously overlooked due to carelessness."

"The Fourth Investigation Division must be one of them."

"The corrupt cops in the Fourth Investigation Division were recruited by you. Even if he paid them money and they did work for him, he could never truly trust them completely."

"The act of making a special call to the corrupt police to confirm the whereabouts of the Zorro bandits is completely unnecessary."

Ye Caisan's gaze fell on the information on his phone, and he continued speaking.

"That is to say."

"It is highly likely that Hamakasa deliberately leaked his location information to cover his tracks and achieve his other goals."

Hear this.

Guhe Teng frowned slightly.

He thought for a moment, but still spoke.

"We still have to go."

"This message was sent to us by corrupt police. Since Hamachu Misao can use corrupt police to transmit information, so can we."

"Didn't Hamakachi Koya intentionally leak his location information?"

“We’ll give him a hand, make everyone think that Hama-Chū-Cao is in that spot, and then we’ll go there and take him down.”

Sometimes, to kill someone, you don't need to actually kill them. As long as everyone thinks they are dead, even if that person is still alive, they are truly dead.

The Dongchen Association collapsed on its own because of this information, and it would be useless even if Hamachu Misao resurfaced.

His defeat was inevitable.

Unless this guy really has the courage to make a clean break and abandon his entire base of Tokyo's underworld, there is absolutely no chance of turning the tables.

However, if he really has that kind of courage.

Guhe Teng also had ways to deal with him, after all, Ye Caisan, whose rank was higher than his, was on Guhe Teng's side. ——————

The actions of the veteran officers from the Fourth Investigation Division could not be kept secret from those who were paying attention.

The current manager of the Fourth Investigation Division.

Kuroda Hyōe, who had been transferred from the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters, quietly observed these veteran investigators from the Fourth Investigation Division, a hint of suspicion appearing in his eyes.

He knew about the past of Section 4.

A large number of officers within the Fourth Investigation Division were corrupted by the Mud Ginseng Association, a criminal organization that had already been dismantled, and accepted substantial bribes to work for the Mud Ginseng Association.

Although all those police officers had been removed, Kuroda still believed that the Fourth Investigation Division was not completely clean.

This was precisely the purpose for which he was transferred here.

He wasn't originally a police officer at the police headquarters; he was transferred from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He is quite good at this kind of work.

Even though he had been in a coma for a considerable period of time due to past trauma and his memory had become unclear, these skills ingrained in his bones remained unchanged.

He has a record of the phone calls these officers from the Fourth Investigation Division just received.

And after that.

He was also aware that the officers from the Fourth Investigation Division had traced the phone signal back to its location and leaked that location to others.

no doubt.

These veteran police officers who survived the Great Purge were not innocent; rather, they were not corrupt enough.

Because they only collect money and don't do anything practical.

That's why these veteran officers were able to survive the great purge and become the senior members of the current Investigation Division 4.

If that's the case, then it's easier to handle.

Kuroda Hyōe quickly made a decision.

Simply by investigating these people's living standards and comparing them with their wages, we can find out whether these people have any abnormal income.

These people can't hide their money.

How much self-control can a group of corrupt cops have?
I guess they'll just hide it for a few days, and then they'll openly take it out and spend it.

In fact, given that the Fourth Investigation Division was riddled with corrupt cops, they didn't even need to put on an act; they could just spend the money directly.

However, this investigation is illegal.

However, it is well known that the Japanese Public Security Bureau never acts legally. If it were even slightly legal, its reputation would not be in its current state.

What was that saying?

Japanese public security officers have the power to decide whether their actions are illegal or not; it is up to them, not others.

Although Kuroda Hyōe is no longer a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he doesn't care about that.

Once we have the evidence.

What happens next is a matter for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's higher-ups; he only needs to do his job well and ensure that there are no corrupt elements within the Fourth Investigation Division.

He doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Kuroda quickly formulated an investigation plan in his mind, then turned and walked towards the conference room.

The highest-ranking officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Superintendent General Hakuba, is currently in the conference room, as is his deputy, Deputy Superintendent General Moroboshi.

This matter needs to be reported to them in advance.

However, the moment Kuroda Hyōe pushed open the door, he noticed that Superintendent General Hakuba and Deputy Superintendent General Moroboshi were standing behind Hakuba Saguru.

One on the left and one on the right, like door gods.

Superintendent White Horse noticed his arrival and gently placed his finger in front of his mouth, making a gesture for silence.

Kuroda Hyoue's gaze fell on Hakuba Saguru, noticing that this high school detective, who had made a name for himself at Scotland Yard, was currently investigating something.

It seems this famous detective is not just a name.
