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

"...We're here to investigate, aren't we?"

Outside the Tokyo National Stadium, Conan said with a hint of helplessness.

He and Ai Haibara had come to the Tokyo National Stadium to watch a baseball game with the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa. After the game, he had planned to skip the final meeting and go straight to investigate what had happened yesterday.

Unexpectedly, Ai Haibara, disregarding all etiquette, secretly slipped into the fan lane and even got a bracelet signed by Ryusuke Higo.

Seriously, this guy is such a fanatical fan. Does getting younger age mean your mentality also gets younger?

If Conan hadn't already known that Ai Haibara's true identity was actually Sherry, a codenamed member of the Black Organization, he wouldn't have suspected that such a star-struck little girl could be such a heavyweight figure.

Ai Haibara was in a good mood after successfully getting Ryusuke Higo to sign her bracelet.

She glanced at the white bracelet on Conan's hand and then made a sarcastic remark.

"Even if you say that, wasn't your wristband given to you by a star player?"

Hearing this, Conan scratched his cheek with his finger, feeling a little embarrassed.

If you put it that way, then it makes sense.

But let's put it another way, at least I didn't ask anyone for an autograph, right?

Although the large number of people making it difficult to get in is one of the reasons...

"To be honest, we still haven't found any direction or clues about what happened last night."

"Great Detective, even if you say you're going to investigate today, what direction can you even begin to take? We haven't found a single Raven Society stronghold yet, have we?"

After carefully putting away her autographed bracelet, Ai Haibara finally got down to business.

As she spoke, she turned her head to look around and noticed that the Junior Detective League and Professor Agasa were not around. A look of doubt appeared in her eyes, and she asked.

"Have Ayumi and the Doctor returned from the meeting passage on Akagi Hideo's side yet?"

I don't know why, but Akagi Hideo seems to be very popular with children.

Aside from her and Conan, the members of the Junior Detective League are basically all huge fans of Hideo Akagi. So when she went to get Ryusuke Higo's autograph, the other members of the Junior Detective League all went to get Hideo Akagi's autograph.

Hearing this, Conan simply shrugged helplessly and then said directly.

Well, that's how it is.

"But didn't we already plan not to go back with the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa when we set off? We even brought our solar-powered skateboards, so we don't need to use Professor Agasa's car..."

While Conan and Ai Haibara were chatting in this place where hardly anyone passed by.

Unusual footsteps suddenly came from the end of the passage.

The footsteps instantly attracted Conan and Ai Haibara's attention. They both turned their heads to look in the direction of the passage and quietly reached into the hidden compartment of their Robin belts.

Whether they admit it or not, the two of them are now essentially like Batman and Robin.

Therefore, they had already begun receiving various training from Chen En six or seven hundred years ago to ensure that they could use the various tools on their bodies to guarantee their personal safety.

Chen En also shared his superhero skills without reservation.

He imparted almost everything he had learned from Batman to Conan and Ai Haibara, but because the time was too short, Conan and Ai Haibara have not yet reached Chen En's level.

But nowadays, simply identifying locations by sound and throwing hidden weapons is incredibly easy.

"Shinichi Kudo, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

The sound came from the darkness of the passageway.

The name, which hadn't been mentioned in a long time, immediately gave Conan a jolt.

Has his true identity been exposed? Who is emerging from the darkness now? Is it an enemy? Or perhaps someone familiar...?

Even though the other person's voice seemed to have been altered to sound like a fake voice, Conan, who has perfect pitch, couldn't tell the real timbre.

But the familiar tone of voice still made him feel as if he had seen it before.

However, Ai Haibara, who was standing next to her, didn't recognize the familiar tone of her voice.

After all, unlike Conan who runs around to various crime scenes every day, she doesn't have much contact with detectives and police officers. So at this moment, she has already pressed the switch of the hidden compartment and gently pinched a prop in the compartment with her fingers.

But in that instant, Conan suddenly realized who was speaking, and his face darkened as he said...

"Wait a minute, you're Hakuba Saguru, right?"

"What is this? Is it revenge for when I sneaked into your bedroom last time?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara was taken aback.

Is the speaker Hakuba Saguru?

If it's Hakuba Saguru, why use this kind of pseudo-voice processing?

Don't you know that doing this is very dangerous?

Of course, it's not that she and Conan are in danger, but rather that Hakuba Saguru is in danger, since their secret compartments contain more than just harmless gadgets like tranquilizer darts.

"If you put it that way, then you could say that."

Hakuba Saguru's figure emerged from the darkness of the passage.

His gaze fell on Ai Haibara next to Conan, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he felt that Ai Haibara looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, especially her brown hair.

After a moment's thought, he was startled to find that the person looked very much like Sonoko Suzuki.

Could it be that……

Hakuba Saguru temporarily put aside his thoughts on this matter, simply took out his pocket watch, glanced at it, and then spoke.

"At 4:23 PM on August 23, the famous detective Shinichi Kudo was so frightened by me that he lost his mind."

Conan: ?

Are you going a bit too far with your words, kid?

Is this something to be proud of? And where did you look so lost and disoriented? Don't use such demeanor and adjectives on me randomly. Where are your basic qualities as a famous detective? Where did you go?

Conan's face darkened, knowing that Hakuba Saguru was seeking revenge for a meeting more than 200 chapters ago.

Ai Haibara, standing to the side, silently took a step back, shielding Conan in front of her.

She and Hakuba Saguru were not familiar with each other at all, and had only interacted a few times, so she could leave the negotiation to Conan. She only needed to make sure that Hakuba Saguru didn't pay too much attention to her.

Although she wasn't familiar with Hakuba Saguru at all, she knew about his ways of doing things.

They take DNA samples at the drop of a hat, and then boast about opening the box as fast as lightning.

Whether it's Kaito Kid or Conan, their identities are always revealed by Hakuba Saguru in an instant. She doesn't want her true identity to be exposed by Hakuba Saguru so easily.

Otherwise, if Bai Ma Tan realized that her true identity was a codename member of the Black Organization, he would immediately shout "Golden Legend".

What if they send her straight to prison?

Chapter 1187 Specialization is Key

"Shinichi Kudo, I've come to you this time just to confirm one thing."

"So, is the criminal who attacked members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau with a gun last night, the one that Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo and Constable Chiba Kazunobu of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, was taken away by Batman?"

Hakuba Saguru's question was concise and to the point, directly addressing the situation of Calvados, the codenamed member of the Black Organization, last night.

It is clear that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department took over Calvados, but this was not contradicted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so much so that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was still unaware of it.

Otherwise, as the son of Superintendent General Hakuba of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it's impossible that Hakuba Saguru would be completely unaware of this.

Upon hearing this, Conan answered without hesitation.

"That's right, the person who shot and killed the Gold Watch Group member yesterday was actually a code name member of the Black Organization."

"His code name is Calvados. He was found by Batman in an alley and taken away immediately. He has now been taken to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for custody. You can check with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department later."

...Calvados, the codenamed member of the Black Organization?

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding appeared in Hakuba Saguru's eyes.

He stayed in Tokyo mainly to deal with the mysterious organization and the assassins associated with it, and occasionally to deal with Phantom Thief Kid. However, he discovered that the mysterious organization had not appeared for some time, and had been replaced by the Black Organization.

Hakuba Saguru had originally planned that if no more members of the mysterious organization appeared, he would go to other places to continue investigating the organization's whereabouts... But now that the Black Organization's actions were so arrogant, he probably had to deal with this matter before he could leave.

Hakuba Saguru nodded slightly, then raised his head and spoke directly.

"You were the one who handled this matter first, and then Batman rushed back to the scene to clean up the mess, right?"

Upon hearing this, Conan's heart skipped a beat.

How did Hakuba Saguru know about this?

Did Hakuba Saguru also install a surveillance system in the alley? Or is Hakuba Saguru's ability to unlock the Bat Cave's IP address so strong that he can directly view the surveillance records inside the Bat Cave?

Several ideas flashed through his mind, but he knew it was impossible.

There are indeed people in the world capable of engaging in electronic warfare against Noah's Ark.

But it's clear that Hakuba Saguru and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Cyber ​​Defense Division cannot do this.

That's probably...

"It seems I was right."

Hakuba Saguru said calmly.

“Last night I visited Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo and Officer Chiba Kazunobu at the hospital where they are recuperating. They described the situation at the scene to me.”

"After they chased Calvados into the alley, Calvados opened fire on them."

"At the most dangerous moment, they heard something whiz past them and hit something with a dull, but loud, impact sound, before the smoke began to move inward."

"When I heard this description, my first thought was of the kind of football you used to use."

"Besides that, I think if Batman himself were to take action, Inspector Shiratori and Officer Chiba would most likely not be injured, and Calvados would be captured as soon as he entered the alley."

"Purely in terms of superheroes, I think your purity is too low."

Conan: ?
