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

Putting everything else aside, at least Zhufu Gaoming wouldn't try to have his cake and eat it too.

……

"I was originally planning to visit the manager, Matsumoto Kiyonaga, in the next ward."

"But judging from your appearance, have you already visited?"

On the Batmobile moving toward the hidden entrance to the Batcave.

Conan asked Chen En, who was driving, directly.

In response, Chen En recounted what had just happened in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's room.

Hearing this, Conan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said.

"So, does that mean Matsumoto Kiyonaga wasn't impersonated or replaced?"

"If even you don't think there's anything wrong with Matsumoto Kiyonaga, and Hakuba Saguru and I found nothing wrong with our investigation of Kuroda Hyōe, then the problem must lie with the other three supervisors?"

Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri; Superintendent of the Second Investigation Division, Shintaro Chaki; and Superintendent of the Third Investigation Division.

However, the moment Conan raised this possibility, Chen En answered directly.

"The three of them are fine."

"I went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department before coming to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Conan was speechless.

He felt that Chen En might have some serious mental illness.

However, Conan still highly approves of what he does.

High and low are also the Batman of the real world.

If Batman is unreliable, wouldn't he become like that novice Batman in the DC One universe?

"So after investigating everything, who do you think is at fault?"

Conan stroked his chin and asked.

Faced with this question, Chen En pondered for a moment before giving a firm answer.

"Matsumoto Kiyoshige has a problem."

“I will continue to follow up until he reveals a weakness.”

Chapter 1206 Better to Be Prepared Than Crowded

Inside the Bat Cave, Conan pondered for a long time before finally unable to resist asking again.

"You still think there's something wrong with Matsumoto Kiyonaga?"

"But why? You're not going to say it's because you've seen this scene in a comic book or movie, or that it's just your gut feeling or something like that, are you?"

The Grim Reaper Elementary School student had just returned to the Batcave when he threw aside his green Robin uniform and changed back into his classic skin.

Ai Haibara, who was originally in the laboratory, also came out at this moment.

Although she used the excuse of experiments to get away from going to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with Chen En and Conan to find firsthand information on the scene, she was actually using listening devices and the special training provided by Noah's Ark to monitor the situation in real time in the laboratory.

Although there is no direct video footage, it is only from the conversation between the two parties.

She also gained a pretty complete understanding of the situation Conan and Chen En were facing.

The girl, who used to be a scientist for the Black Organization, also said with some confusion.

"Do you still think it was Vermouth or some other Black Organization member disguised as Matsumoto Kiyonaga?"

"But this kind of thing just seems strange no matter how you look at it."

"When you were explaining to Conan on the Batmobile, you mentioned that you had verified that Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face did not have a disguise mask... Even Vermouth couldn't possibly look exactly like someone else just by using makeup, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En simply took out his coffee cup, took a sip, and replied directly.

"Of course, it can't be done by disguise alone."

"Even the disguise mask used by the person suspected to be in black to drive those corpses would break with the slightest force, making it impossible to use for disguise under those circumstances."

"But considering that the person who appears to be wearing the black mask may possess magic, and the prophecy within the Black Organization regarding the silver bullet."

"I think the Black Organization might use magical means to complete this infiltration."

In a sense, magic is not omnipotent, yet it is also omnipotent.

After all, she can even make magical items that can alter one's presence. Previously, Koizumi Akako also stated that she herself can make magical items that can manipulate other people's consciousness and change their ideas.

If someone develops in this direction, and others subconsciously think that he is Matsumoto Kiyonaga, then...

Even without a disguise mask, it can still be done flawlessly.

Ai Haibara muttered something under her breath, but did not object.

As an internal scientist for the Black Organization, she had never heard of the existence of magic within the organization.

Of course, it's also possible that because she was mainly in charge of the ABTX4869 research and development, she didn't get involved in the affairs of the organization's higher-ups... She was naturally aware of the prophecy about the silver bullet.

However, before she truly witnessed magic, Ai Haibara never thought that such a prophecy was obtained through some mysterious means.

She simply thought that whatever that person believed could destroy the Black Organization was called the Silver Bullet, hence the name. Otherwise, she might have already used her connections within the Black Organization to determine the source of the prophecy.

"If that's the case, why don't you suspect Kuroda Hyōe?"

"What works on Matsumoto Kiyonaga will work on Kuroda Hyōe just as well. Why do you only suspect Matsumoto Kiyonaga and not Kuroda Hyōe? You must have some other clues, right?"

However, such words did not fool Conan.

The elementary school student dressed in a blue suit, who was the Grim Reaper, said suspiciously.

"Just tell me, is it another comic book you saw before you time-traveled?"

"I find it strange that the content of those comics or movies you've seen shouldn't still be developing along the original trajectory... How can it be considered copyright infringement if a character like Batman appears in an anime?"

"So the plot should have been completely disrupted."

Conan's words were certainly true.

The reason why the Night Owl in the Hanzawa worldview did not disrupt the plot of each movie was to ensure that the plot would develop normally according to his memory, so that rum would appear next to the Mouri Detective Agency as usual.

Therefore, both Night Owl and Batman should be huge variables in the plot. Once they truly get involved in the development of the plot, the resulting butterfly effect will be unimaginable.

"...But even so, I found that the plot still unfolds in part as I remember it."

Chen En corrected Conan's statement.

He glanced towards the stairwell, where Ye Caisan and Curaçao's footsteps were coming from...

The best proof of this is the trusted subordinate of Rum, the second-in-command of the Black Organization.

Although Curaçao's experience is almost completely different from the movie, she still suffers from amnesia for some reason and is eventually taken in by someone.

The only difference is that in the original story, it was the Junior Detective League who picked up Curaçao, but now it's Ye Cai San.

Just as you said.

"In the theatrical films I've seen, Ireland chose to disguise himself as Matsumoto Kiyonaga to infiltrate the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to investigate. I think he would most likely do the same now."

"Moreover, I don't just suspect Matsumoto Kiyonaga, I suspect Kuroda Hyōe as well."

"To be more precise, I suspected all five high-ranking officers of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division who were attacked. Therefore, I installed tracking devices and listening devices around them, including Kuroda Hyōe and Matsumoto Kiyōchō."

"Although such precautions are probably unnecessary, it's better to be prepared."

As Chen En spoke, he turned his head to look at the supercomputer screen.

At this opportune moment, the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark released the wiretapped recordings and current locations of five high-ranking officers in the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, diverting Conan and Ai Haibara's attention.

The head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Toshiro Odagiri, is still directing officers to handle the aftermath of tonight's shootout.

Meanwhile, the two supervising officers from the Second and Third Investigation Divisions huddled together, discussing the perilous nature of the day's events and lamenting why they, who had no connection to the incident, had also been attacked.

Kuroda Hyōe and Matsumoto Kiyōga explained to Hakuba Saguru and the police officers patrolling nearby what had just happened in the ward.

It seems that none of them are problematic.

"...I have some suspicion that you may have also planted listening devices and tracking devices on me and Haibara."

Conan stared at the screen for a while, then turned to look at Chen En.

"I hope there aren't any like that on my clothes?"

Chen En took a sip of coffee but didn't say anything.

Chapter 1207 I Avoid His Edge?

"...There doesn't seem to be anywhere on him where I could put a listening device or a tracking device."

Ai Haibara stood beside Chen En, watching Conan disappear like the wind into the direction of the stairwell.

This seemingly hopeless elementary school student, whose mental age is a mystery but whose height is worrying, realized something after asking the question and immediately headed to the manor's guest room.

She could understand what Conan was trying to do.

It's likely that Conan felt he had a listening device or tracking device on him, so he wanted to find an empty hotel room to check whether he actually had one, and it wasn't convenient to check in front of other people.

"It seems like it was just a false alarm."

Ai Haibara held the coffee cup in both hands, took a sip, and felt her mind clear up a bit.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked up at Chen En with some suspicion.

"You didn't sew listening devices and trackers into your clothes, did you?"

She remembered that Chen En had done something like this a long time ago.

At the time, she was even wondering if she should wear thinner clothes in the future, so that if a bugging device or a tracking device was sewn inside, she would be able to feel it immediately when she put on her clothes.
