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

Upon hearing this, Officer Chiba hurriedly informed the other officers of the location information.

However, the man seemed completely unconcerned about the arrival of the other officers.

They moved unhurriedly toward the place where Shiratori Ninzaburo and Officer Chiba were hiding.

It seemed he intended to kill the two officers before moving on to other places, or perhaps use this alley to eliminate the first group of patrol officers who came to intercept him before making his escape.

However, just as the person's footsteps drew closer...

A black and white bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the shadowed part of the alley, heading towards the direction of the person's footsteps!

Chapter 1147 Unfair 1v1 Competition

The black and white ball tore through the air and flew fiercely toward Calvados.

This sudden turn of events caused even the codenamed members of the Black Organization to feel a sense of absurdity, and they instinctively stepped aside to avoid it.

Calvados has been a codenamed member of the Black Organization for several years.

He had carried out countless assassinations and faced numerous dangers and weapons, but he had never seen such a bizarrely shaped concealed weapon.

How could anyone use a soccer ball as a hidden weapon?

Aren't you afraid someone will grab the football, put it on the ground, stomp it out, and then add, "Still playing football?"

His thought flashed through his mind for only a moment before being instantly rewritten.

The reason was simple: the moment the football grazed past him, he felt its immense power, especially after it hit the car next to him, instantly denting a section of the wall.

At that moment, Calvados couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.

The same applies to weapons.

Whether it's a knife, spear, club, or any other weapon, anything that can kill is a good weapon. And this powerful and fast football in front of us is undoubtedly a deadly weapon that kills without drawing blood.

And no one would have guessed that someone would use a football to kill someone.

Just like if someone carries a stool around, no one would think they're going to kill someone with it.

A master, absolutely a master.

Not only Calvados's attention was drawn to the sudden football.

Even Shiratori Ninzaburo and Inspector Chiba were drawn to the direction from which the soccer ball was flying.

They didn't know why such a sudden change had occurred.

We have no idea who would use a football as a weapon to injure someone.

However, just as the three of them looked up at the direction from which the football was flying, they saw a small drone suddenly fly in from that direction, with white smoke spraying out from inside the drone.

Suddenly, the entire alleyway was completely obscured by white smoke.

Even during the day, visibility in the smog is extremely low.

Not to mention the dark night.

Calvadoston sensed something was wrong.

He grabbed his submachine gun and opened fire on the spot where the two officers had been hiding. However, Shiratori Ninzaburo and Officer Chiba had already realized that a turning point was coming, so they changed positions in advance.

After missing his target in this volley, Calvados showed no interest in continuing the fight and turned to retreat into the smoke.

Such smoke is not a bad thing for him?

Those two officers must have already reported his location to other patrol officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Then other officers arriving at the scene will also be confused by the smoke, including the person who caused the trouble... after all, the smoke obscures the vision of everyone equally.

It's more suitable for him to take advantage of the situation and leave.

If that person's only goal is to save the two police officers, then let him do it.

Killing two fewer or two more won't make any difference.

However, Calvados was unaware that while the smoke was indeed blinding to him and the patrolling officers around him, it was not the same for the attackers.

Super Soccer Hero races forward on his super skateboard.

He had deliberately faked a communication with Noah's Ark to distract the helicopter, thus giving him the opportunity to use his super-powered sneakers to make a crucial shot before Calvados could shoot Shiratori Ninzaburo and Inspector Chiba.

Now that they have rescued Shiratori Ninzaburo and Officer Chiba, their primary task is to conceal their identities.

Therefore, Conan immediately pulled out a smoke drone from his Robin belt and threw it into the alley.

Just as Calvados envisioned.

Normally, the long plume of smoke emitted by this drone would cause everyone in the alley to lose their sight.

But that's under normal circumstances.

As a member of the Mikazuki Bat Family, Conan is naturally not normal.

After kicking the soccer ball, he got back on his skateboard, activated the backup battery, and headed into the alleyway. Not forgetting to gently press the button on his non-prescription glasses frame to switch the lens mode to thermal imaging.

This competition was never a fair one from the start.

He could clearly see Calvados's figure in the smoke, which was not obscured by cover, but Calvados did not know his location, putting him at a severe disadvantage.

However, Conan wouldn't say anything about fairness or unfairness.

When dealing with evil heretics like you, there's no need to concern ourselves with fairness.

The fact that they didn't call on all the members of the Bat Family to gang up on you and beat you to your knees is already showing enough respect. Now that it's just an unfair 1v1 competition, you should be secretly happy.

Conan nimbly zipped past Shiratori Ninzaburo and Inspector Chiba on his skateboard.

The gust of wind that rang in their ears naturally alerted the two officers that something had just passed by.

However, the smoke was too thick, and the night was deep. Their flashlights had also been turned off during the recent firefight with Calvados, so they had no idea what they were seeing.

Shiratori Ninzaburo could only conclude that it must be the mysterious person who had just helped with the soccer ball.

He couldn't care less about those things right now, so he asked Officer Chiba to get the walkie-talkie again and call for help from the hospital, since his condition was quite dire.

If it weren't for the fact that the submachine gun's lethality is relatively low...

Those two bullets were enough to send him on his way.

Officer Chiba nodded hurriedly while calling for help on his walkie-talkie.

Meanwhile, the police helicopter, which had returned to its original position in the air, began to help locate the nearby ambulances. The helicopter pilot even spoke up to reassure Officer Chiba and Inspector Shiratori.

However, the driver seemed somewhat confused at this point.

Someone had just distracted him using a police channel.

This technique is typically used by Batman.

But if it really is Batman using it, then where is Batman right now?

While the driver was still pondering...

He suddenly felt that something was wrong with the things in front of him.

The driver immediately squinted and looked ahead.

I could vaguely see a black shadow flash past in front of me.

The driver was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his skin and quickly rubbed his eyes.

But when he looked again, he found that the place where the shadow had appeared was now empty.

"...What was that just now? Was it a UFO?"

The pilot muttered to himself as he checked the radar, only to find that there were no flying objects around.

In the end, it can only be attributed to a misperception caused by excessive pressure.

Chapter 1148 Suppression?

Calvados felt that the situation was a little bit bad.

Although he couldn't see anything in such thick smoke, his hearing as an assassin was not diminished; on the contrary, it became even more acute when his vision was impaired.

It sounded like something sliding on the ground, and it followed me around like a shadow.

He had to accept a fact.

The person who created the smoke seems to have some kind of ability to locate him within the smoke and track him down, probably looking for the right moment to strike.

He must eliminate the man while his line of sight is obstructed in order to escape this encirclement.

Calvados's expression darkened slightly, as he gripped a submachine gun in each hand.

He murmured to himself.

What exactly were the methods used?

'Could it be thermal imaging? That's really strange. What kind of person would be equipped with thermal imaging equipment in this situation? Even special forces wouldn't be equipped with such equipment without knowing that this scenario might occur.'

As he reviewed the events in his mind, he thought of the so-called legend in Tokyo.

That superhero who is considered to have stepped out of a comic book on the internet.

Batman, the guardian knight of Tokyo.

In the comics, Batman has always been an intelligent superhero who is always prepared and always omnipotent.

If the person chasing him were Batman, it might be possible that he had prepared thermal imaging equipment or something similar to fight back, but he felt that the possibility was not high.

It wasn't that Calvados thought his assassination of the Gold Watch Group members wouldn't attract Batman's attention.

Instead, he felt that if Batman had been targeting him, he might not have escaped until now.
