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

"Then, we just need to see which of the false intelligence locations the Black Organization goes to, and we can determine who the mole is..."

It's not very feasible, but it's worth a try.

Chapter 1203 The White Horse Scout's Fault?

Meanwhile, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and Batman had just resolved the gangland shootouts throughout Tokyo.

Hakuba Saguru and Conan have also arrived at Beika Central Hospital.

Their target was naturally the two officers who had been injured in the previous attack.

The supervising officer of the Fourth Investigation Division, Kuroda Hyōe, and the supervising officer of the First Investigation Division, Matsumoto Kiyōga.

As for the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri, he only suffered minor injuries. He immediately bandaged his wounds and rushed back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to direct officers to cooperate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau in dealing with those yakuza organizations.

Chaki Shintaro and the elusive superintendent of the Third Investigation Division felt that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was safer.

Since their own injuries weren't too serious, they simply slept on the floor in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's management office, determined to live and die with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Hakuba Saguru and Conan's first visit is to Kuroda Heiwa, the officer in charge of the Fourth Investigation Division whom they suspect.

The seemingly unapproachable officer from the Fourth Investigation Division was peeling an apple for himself.

Upon seeing Hakuba Saguru and Conan enter the ward, a hint of surprise appeared in his remaining single eye. He hadn't expected that this famous high school detective would come to visit him.

And the green-clad little black man following Hakuba Saguru should be... Robin, right?

Kuroda Hyoue used his limited knowledge to try to understand the situation before him.

If it really is Robin, then he is Batman's henchman.

It seems that Hakuba Saguru and Batman have some connection, otherwise Batman wouldn't have sent his sidekick, who has never officially appeared in Tokyo, to come with Hakuba Saguru to investigate the situation.

"Chief Administrator Kuroda, we've come to you to ask about some things."

Hakuba Saguru said calmly.

He pulled out a chair and sat down next to Kuroda Hyōe's hospital bed.

The hawk that had been perched on Hakuba Saguru's shoulder also turned its gaze to Kuroda Hyoue at this moment, making Kuroda Hyoue feel quite uneasy.

As for Conan, who's always with Hakuba Saguru...

Because he was too short, Kuroda Beibei subconsciously ignored him.

"What do you think was the motive behind this attack on high-ranking officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division?"

This question is relatively tricky.

A thoughtful look flashed in Kuroda Hyoue's eyes before he answered directly.

"Even if you ask me this, I can't answer you."

"After all, I went straight to the hospital room after the attack and didn't participate in the follow-up investigation at all. Besides, less than an hour has passed since I was attacked."

"Even if I wanted to ask officers from Investigation Division 4 to help with the investigation, I wouldn't have the time at all, would I?"

However, Hakuba Saguru was not satisfied with this answer and asked further questions.

"What if it's just your opinion?"

"Who do you think would choose to attack high-ranking officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division at this particular time? And why specifically target high-ranking officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division?"

Sitting in a chair, Conan struggled to sit up, his upper body leaning against the edge of the hospital bed, and he seemed to have regained some of his energy.

He was also curious to know what Kuroda Hyoue, the most suspicious person, would think about this.

Meanwhile, the investigator in charge of the investigation, who had close ties with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, chuckled a few times.

There was no time for Hakuba to ask Hyoue why he was laughing.

Kuroda Hyōe then stated it directly.

"I guess they just don't want us to continue investigating things related to the Raven Society?"

“Detective Hakuba, I guess you already know that the reason why the Japanese Public Security Bureau did not ask the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to cooperate with the investigation was because the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department directly liaised with me, the superintendent of the Fourth Investigation Division.”

"In that case, the reason they chose to attack the high-ranking officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division was probably because of your remarks in the meeting room, right? Because before you spoke, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division hadn't openly launched an investigation into the Raven Society, hadn't they?"

"I suspect it might be the Criminal Investigation Department's actions that made Raven feel threatened by them."

"That's why they used this kind of decapitation tactic to attack all the high-ranking officers of our Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division in advance, ensuring that the Criminal Investigation Division could not immediately launch a further investigation into the Raven Society."

"So, Detective White Horse, you also bear some responsibility, don't you?"

Oh? They actually put the pot upside down on the white horse's head?

...This answer is barely acceptable.

Conan mentally gave his assessment.

Although there are moles within the Black Organization or the Shadow Cabinet at the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the matter concerning Kuroda Hyōe was directly handled by the undercover investigator in the Public Security Planning Division.

In other words, if the Ravens or the Black Organization knew that Kuroda Hyōe was helping the Japanese Public Security Bureau investigate the Ravens.

Therefore, the mole within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's upper echelons can basically be identified as an undercover investigator in the Public Security Planning Division, because apart from that undercover investigator, no one else knew that Kuroda Hyōe was also investigating this matter.

After negotiating with him, Hakuba Saguru frankly pointed this out in the conference room.

This led to Criminal Investigation Department Chief Toshiro Odagiri explicitly requesting Heiji Kuroda's assistance in investigating matters related to the Ravens, which was tantamount to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department openly investigating the Black Organization and the Ravens.

Given the arrogant behavior of the Black Organization and the Raven Society, it's not surprising that they would launch an attack.

However, Conan always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

The Black Organization is ruthless when it comes to killing.

If Kuroda Hyōe really wanted to teach the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department a lesson or to intimidate them and prevent further investigation, why didn't he just kill them directly?

Anyway, the Raven Society or the Black Organization's current goal is to rescue Pisco from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, right?

If a decapitation strike is employed, Kuroda Hyōe and Matsumoto Kiyōnaga can be eliminated directly.

Given the chaotic state of affairs within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, even if someone else were to take over, it would still take at least a week to integrate the entire Criminal Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, no matter how fast they could do it.

This is more than enough time for the Black Organization to carry out a rescue operation...

"...Is that really the case?"

Hakuba Saguru seemed to disbelieve it either, his voice ringing in Conan's ears.

The Shinigami Elementary School Student subconsciously looked up at Hakuba Saguru.

Then Hakuba Saguru asked directly.

"Chief Administrator Kuroda, do you really think things are going to develop in such a simple direction?"

"Although you are in direct contact with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, in theory, it shouldn't be possible for your investigation into the Raven Society to be leaked. But the problem is, when you investigated the Raven Society, didn't you also mobilize the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division?"

“If you just pay a little attention to the personnel deployment of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, I guess anyone who is interested can easily see it.”

Let's be frank and speak openly.

"Why do you think the Black Organization believes that attacking high-ranking officials in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division will help them gain access to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and rescue the Black Organization member codenamed Pisco?"

Chapter 1204 Let me see who's hiding behind that face!

It is well known that Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Kuroda Hyōe have never gotten along.

Even though the two were both sent to Mikasa Central Hospital after the attack, they were not placed in the same ward, but in two adjacent single rooms.

This is also a precautionary measure to prevent attackers from launching a counterattack, for security reasons.

After all, both Chief Inspector Matsumoto and Heiwa Kuroda were supervising officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, and in every sense, they were among the highest-ranking officials in the department.

What if I get shot by a gang for investigating their activities?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers are confident that this will be the headline news in Tokyo for the next week.

It helps Tokyo become a real-world Gotham City.

Although they did not want this development to happen.

While Hakuba Saguru and Conan were still questioning Kuroda Hyoue in his hospital room, numerous Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers were still patrolling outside, completely unaware that anything was amiss.

However, unbeknownst to them, a figure had already quietly appeared in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's hospital room.

"Matsumoto Management Officer".

A deep, hoarse voice rang out.

Lying in the hospital bed, Matsumoto Kiyona immediately recognized the voice. He looked up at the figure and immediately recognized him as Batman, Tokyo's most famous superhero.

Frankly speaking, although he is the superintendent of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department.

The officers in their First Investigative Division have had plenty of dealings with Batman.

However, this supervisor had hardly ever seen Batman before, so seeing him now felt somewhat novel. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to press the call bell to have other officers come to protect him.

"The superintendent of the First Investigation Division asked in a low voice."

"I never expected that a superhero like you would visit my hospital room."

"So, is there something you want to ask me?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke crisply and frankly.

"If you're asking about the attack, then unfortunately, I've been in my hospital room the whole time and haven't had much opportunity to learn about the investigation."

"If you want to ask about this, you'll have to wait until I'm discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to investigate."

His voice sounded strong and clear, with no sign of falsetto.

Chen En's gaze fell on the supervising officer of the First Investigation Division, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he spoke in a low voice.

"I need to confirm something."
