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

“I am the real killer in this series of serial murders. From the very beginning, I joined the Osaka Police Headquarters to investigate the truth behind my father’s death.”

"But now it seems too late. Twenty years have passed, and the 15-year statute of limitations for criminal homicide cases has long expired. So even if I find those people, I can't bring the murderers to justice."

"So this is the only way I can take revenge."

Chapter 1183 Attempted Suicide

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yusuke Sakata finally revealed the reason why he had committed this series of murders.

Hattori Heiji and Hattori Heizo, who had already investigated the matter, had anticipated this outcome. Mouri Kogoro, standing next to Hattori Heiji, also frowned, feeling that the matter was indeed difficult to handle.

As a former elite criminal investigator with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he was naturally very clear about the crimes.

Whether as a police officer or a detective, he has always maintained the same principles.

Murder is murder, and no amount of justification can change that fact.

As law enforcement officers, their job is to arrest lawbreakers. Nothing else is within their purview, no matter how deserving the person being killed may be.

"...Are you saying that since there's no way to punish the murderer from back then through legal means, the only option is to resort to vigilante justice?"

At this moment, Hattori Heiji frowned and said.

“I have to admit that as an avenger, when the law cannot punish the other party, the only way to take revenge is through private acts of retaliation, but that does not mean that your actions are right.”

"Brother Sakata, don't forget who you are..."

The famous detective from Kansai had a serious look in his eyes.

"You are a police officer at the Osaka Police Headquarters, a well-known elite officer throughout Osaka Prefecture. You are the only officer allowed to carry a firearm at all times. You are an exemplary elite officer."

"This might be reasonable for others, but it's absolutely unreasonable for you to say it."

“If even exemplary elite police officers feel that the law is meaningless and can only punish others through vigilante justice, then the impact on all the police officers in the Osaka Police Headquarters will be almost immeasurable.”

"Even the cherry blossom medal on the police badge will lose its original color as a result."

"...You shouldn't have used your identity as a police officer to kill someone."

Upon hearing this, Yusuke Sakata was momentarily speechless.

As an avenger, he naturally couldn't care less about such things. As long as he could kill his enemy, other concerns were for others to consider, not for him.

However, it cannot be denied that he did use his identity as a police officer to commit murder.

For an Avenger, the identity of a police officer is simply too useful.

Using police uniforms and identification, one can easily gain the trust of anyone, and this method is highly effective except for cunning old foxes like Soutaro Goji, who suspects he might be the next target due to a serial murder case.

In this serial killing spree, he first gained the trust of all four victims by posing as a police officer before ambushing and killing them.

His revenge proceeded smoothly.

However, the reputation of the entire Osaka Police Headquarters will suffer a significant decline as a result, just as Hattori Heiji said, the impact on the officers of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters will be immeasurable.

To this, Yusuke Sakata sighed and simply said...

"In that case, I think there's only one way to solve this."

As he spoke, he reached for the holster containing his pistol.

This dangerous act instantly attracted the attention of many police officers in the vicinity.

Even Kogoro Mouri's expression turned serious. He subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist, but found nothing. He then remembered that he was no longer a police officer legally carrying a firearm.

However, Hattori Heizo did not react to this, but merely frowned slightly and turned his head to look at the gate of the mansion next to him.

He was unaware of the truth behind the accidental death 20 years ago.

Now, through Yusuke Sakata, he has learned the truth about the driving school instructor's fatal car accident 20 years ago.

In that case, we absolutely cannot let Goji Sotaro escape punishment.

Even if we can't punish him through legal means, we should punish him through social means. Fortunately, many members of the Osaka Prefecture council are watching him closely; it's time to get rid of this guy.

"Hey, you idiot, don't be impulsive!"

Hattori Heiji's expression also turned serious. Ignoring the danger, he took a step forward and got even closer to Sakata Yusuke.

The amulet he wore around his neck had somehow dangled down to his abdomen inside his coat, but he seemed oblivious to it, only trying to take Sakata Yusuke's pistol away.

Kogoro Mouri, standing nearby, instinctively reached out to help Heiji Hattori.

Although he was not familiar with the situation at the Osaka Police Headquarters.

However, if Yusuke Sakata is considered a model elite officer within the Osaka Police Headquarters, then his marksmanship must be quite good. If someone were to be shot by Yusuke Sakata at this distance, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The closer Hattori Heiji got to Sakata Yusuke, the greater the danger of death became.

Don't convince Heiji that he's someone you've known for some time.

Even if it's just a stranger, he couldn't just stand by and watch that stranger get closer and closer to death; he would definitely step in to save them and lend a hand.

Surprisingly, after taking out the pistol, Yusuke Sakata pressed the muzzle against his temple.

This sudden turn of events surprised even the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters officers who were prepared to open fire to ensure no innocent civilians or police officers were injured, causing them to react a beat slower than expected.

What... what are you trying to do?

"Since this matter started because of me, let it end because of me."

"It's a deep voice," Yusuke Sakata said, his finger already on the trigger.

"Well then, goodbye, Heiji-kun."

He had already slowly pulled the trigger with his finger, but at the same instant, he felt his body suddenly become numb and he couldn't muster any strength, causing the trigger he was about to pull to stop.

At that very moment, Hattori Heiji grabbed Sakata Yusuke's hand and pointed his pistol at the sky.

The bullet that was supposed to fly out of the barrel and hit Hattori Heiji's abdomen after splashing was blocked inside the chamber before it could be fired.

At that moment, Hattori Heizo flashed by and quickly took Sakata Yusuke's pistol.

Other officers from the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters then seemed to realize what was happening and stepped forward to help.

Looking at Sakata Yusuke, who had already been arrested by his colleagues, Hattori Heizo spoke earnestly.

"Now that you've done this, you have to take full responsibility. Don't try to escape your responsibility through death... You still have a chance in life, don't you?"

He had just said that, then glanced at Goro Otaki.

As a long-time subordinate, Goro Otaki immediately reacted and stopped Sōtarō Gōji, who was about to rush out of the mansion and attack Sakata Yūsuke with his spiritual needles.

The drones that were originally floating in the air also slowly moved towards the Osaka Police Headquarters.

The recycling operation is underway.

Chapter 1184 I'm Willing to Be Obsessed with Women

This series of heinous murders that had plagued Osaka Prefecture for some time has finally been solved.

The officers at the Osaka Police Headquarters have received the relevant information and are greatly shocked that it was Sakata Yusuke, a criminal investigation officer whom Osaka Prefecture regards as a role model, who committed this act.

As expected, this matter will become the headline news in various newspapers in Osaka Prefecture.

But that's a story for later.

Heiji Hattori was clearly not in a good mood after helping Heizo Hattori arrest Yusuke Sakata.

Therefore, after Hattori Heiji and Hattori Heizo returned to the Osaka Police Headquarters, Hattori Heiji temporarily gave up his interest in continuing to play with Chen En and the others, and only said apologetically that he would stay here for a while tonight.

Not only Hattori Heiji, but also Toyama Ginjiro were clearly not in a good mood.

Ginjiro Toyama is the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Osaka Police Headquarters.

Yusuke Sakata was handpicked and promoted by Ginjiro Toyama, and he is now a trusted police officer who received various honors with his help. Now this has happened.

Ginjiro Toyama, who was practically no different from a direct superior, must also bear some responsibility.

Kazuha Toyama stayed behind to accompany her father and Heiji Hattori at the Osaka Police Headquarters, partly to comfort her father and Heiji who were feeling down, and partly to see if there was anything she could do to help.

In contrast, Kogoro Mouri had also lost all interest.

The events that have happened to Osaka Prefectural Police Officer Yusuke Sakata are causing him to have some hallucinations, reminding him of his former friend who was also studying at the police academy.

The strikingly similar scene of people abandoning their original sense of justice and principles for revenge stirred his emotions, leaving him with no other thoughts, and he continued his tour of Osaka Prefecture.

To take care of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri had no choice but to take her leave first.

The original group of six people was now reduced to just Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En.

Sonoko Suzuki was also very troubled by this, rubbing her forehead and saying with some annoyance.

"Although I had already guessed, like the uncle, that Mr. Sakata was the culprit, I never expected that it would lead to such an explosive matter... Osaka Prefecture, like Beika Town, is full of talented people."

"By the way, Ahn, what do you think will happen to that Councilor Sotaro Goji in the end?"

Hearing this, Chen En paused for a moment, then spoke.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be removed from his seat as a member of parliament soon."

"Even if Sakata Yusuke is unable to take revenge personally, those who also suffered losses due to Goji Sotaro's embezzlement case six years ago will take revenge on Goji Sotaro."

"Moreover, there's also the targeting from Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro."

"I think he'll be close to being eliminated soon."

...What is the kill threshold?

Sonoko Suzuki blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She had never heard of this term before.

Could it be another unique term from some mysterious Eastern superpower?

Without elaborating on this somewhat distant concept for a wealthy young lady, Chen En simply pulled out a travel itinerary from his pocket, glanced at it, and then said...
