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

The realm called "Visible Without Form" allows him to have an effect similar to future vision.

The reason why Ishikawa Goemon, despite possessing the Zantetsu sword, was completely at a disadvantage in his battle with Hawk and was even nearly killed by Hawk was because his understanding of this level was not yet sufficient, and Hawk predicted all his attack trajectories.

Now, Ishikawa Goemon is going to use this level of skill to compete with Chen En, who has not even reached this level.

However, the things seen in that realm were exactly the same.

This scene startled Ishikawa Goemon.

Regardless of the possibility, Chen En seemed to have no intention of letting go. His goal appeared to be to seize the Zanetsu sword, even if he used karate to attack...

Ishikawa Goemon was not only a top-level kendo master, but also an excellent karate master.

However, his karate skills are only at the intermediate to advanced level.

As for situations where the Iron-Cutting Sword is temporarily unusable and a surprise attack is necessary, this level of karate, which is at the intermediate to advanced level of combat expertise, is enough to produce remarkable results. However, it is different when facing Chen En.

This fighter truly achieved the feat of elevating over a hundred different fighting styles to an advanced level of mastery.

Karate, which is only at the intermediate to advanced level of combat expertise, is full of flaws for Chen En.

Perhaps because of their different levels of skill, Chen En was unable to dismantle Ishikawa Goemon's karate techniques, but it wouldn't be difficult to ensure that Ishikawa Goemon couldn't take the sword back no matter what.

Don't ask, the answer is simply that the numbers are high.

Seeing that Ishikawa Goemon seemed to be dead as well.

Seeing this, Lupin III finally sighed.

"Sigh, Bat, I'm really impressed by you."

"Why do you want that gem too?"

"I'll just give it back to you. You can return the Zantetsu Sword to Goemon."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the gem that had appeared in the photo taken by the Flying Dragon Warrior earlier, then threw the gem at Chen En.

And at the moment Chen En reached out to catch it.

The Zantetsu sword, which had been bound by his hands, was suddenly pulled out, along with the remaining konjac net, from Chen En's hand. Ishikawa Goemon even retreated while still holding the Zantetsu sword.

Almost simultaneously, Daisuke Jigen also opened fire with his revolver.

The bullet flew toward Ishikawa Goemon.

At that moment, Ishikawa Goemon lowered his body and the Zantetsu sword in his hand began to spin.

"Secret Sword Dragon Tornado Return".

"Ishikawa Goemon said in a low voice."

The next moment, the revolver bullets collided and rubbed against the konjac on the Zantetsu sword, sparking sparks and instantly blocking the konjac that was difficult to remove from the Zantetsu sword.

At that moment, Lupin III suddenly threw out another smoke bomb, and immediately disappeared from Chen En's sight with Ishikawa Goemon and Jigen Daisuke.

"...This gem may not be genuine."

Chen En glanced at the billowing smoke, then raised the Tang Emperor Gem in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He had only seen a photograph of this gem.

We can only confirm that the gem looks exactly like the one in the photo, but whether it's real or fake, we'll have to take it back to the Flying Dragon Warrior for identification...

If this thing is fake, then he'll have to upgrade Lupin III's strength next.

Chapter 1214 A Counterfeit That's Exactly the Real One

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?"

Near the underground passage.

Hattori Heiji, who came down with Inspector Zenigata, said with some surprise.

"Is this a mark left by a knife?"

"No way, really? How is it possible to cut through a wall like this with a samurai sword?"

He was surprised because there were obvious knife cut marks on the wall next to the entrance of the underground passage.

As a master swordsman, Hattori Heiji was confident that he could not mistake the marks left by his katana.

With just a glance, he was able to reconstruct the entire sequence of events: how the person wielding the katana cut through the wall to create an emergency exit before leaving.

But it is precisely because of this that Hattori Heiji cannot believe this fact.

Are you kidding me? This is a wall made of reinforced concrete.

If a samurai sword can withstand two strikes without breaking in two, it can be considered a high-quality samurai sword.

Not to mention cutting all the way through, leaving a door-shaped gap in the wall.

"You're still too naive, kid."

Inspector Zenigata said this without any surprise.

“This mark is clearly left by Ishikawa Goemon’s Zantetsu sword.”

"Seriously, do detectives these days not even know this basic common sense? The Zanetsuken is a demonic sword that can easily cut through anything, so what's a wall like this?"

...If you put it that way, it seems there are indeed rumors about this.

Hattori Heiji came to his senses but did not refute at this moment.

Lupin III and his companions are a world-renowned, decades-old gang of phantom thieves.

He had naturally heard about it.

However, from birth until now, he has never seen any trace of Lupin III's group's activities, so he had no idea that the Zantetsu sword was connected with the slash marks in front of him.

At this moment, all he could do was silently click his tongue and think to himself.

"He really is an extraordinary swordsman."

"Then who was Hawk, the axe-wielding killer who appeared in the news near Tokyo and chased Lupin III and his gang all the way from Izu to the outskirts of Tokyo?"

"I'm afraid even I wouldn't be a match for him..."

If Detective Zenigata were to say that he didn't know what Hattori Heiji was thinking, he would probably have to turn around and complain.

Let me tell you something you might not know.

If you can last two seconds in front of Hawke, then Hawke has already defeated you.

"In short, let's collect evidence from the scene first."

Ginjiro Toyama, who had come over, instructed the officers from the Osaka Police Headquarters to cordon off the scene and collect evidence. The forensic officers were as busy as ever, but it was unclear what they were doing.

Seeing the numerous forensic officers busy at work, Hattori Heiji shrugged, walked over to Inspector Zenigata, and asked curiously.

"Didn't you fight Lupin III for a long time, Uncle?"

"Can you tell now which direction Lupin III escaped from?"

Inspector Zenigata simply shook his head at this.

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

"Since Lupin didn't escape through the underground passage, but instead had Ishikawa Goemon open a door in the wall to escape, then he must have encountered some very difficult enemy that he couldn't break through head-on."

"But since this door can be opened by Ishikawa Goemon, it means that Lupin III and his gang can no longer be found."

"I guess the person who intervened let them go."

Based on his understanding of Lupin III.

If someone could chase Lupin III all the way to his emergency escape route before he could act, and directly block his escape route, preventing him from breaking through and escaping head-on...

That person most likely possesses the strength to prevent Ishikawa Goemon from even opening the door in time...

After all, the Zantetsuken and Daisuke Jigen's quick-draw gun are no joke.

If Lupin III and his crew were forced into a corner and were going all out, it would take at least the level of the Bermuda Triangle ghosts that had previously been chasing Lupin III and his crew to stop them on their escape route.

It's even more terrifying than the Bermuda Triangle ghost.

After all, the Bermuda ghosts were only chasing Lupin III and his crew, who were not accompanied by Ishikawa Goemon, and could not completely block their escape route.

This person managed to block the entire Lupin III group, including Ishikawa Goemon, from their escape route.

Purity, limitless...

"what is this?"

Heiji Hattori only listened to Inspector Zenigata's words for a moment before his attention was immediately drawn to the traces on the ground. He crouched down slightly, his gaze falling on the remaining items on the ground.

He then reached out and touched the unidentified substance, then sniffed it.

The pungent smell of burning immediately filled my nostrils.

However, besides the pungent burnt smell, he also detected a unique aroma that belonged to konjac.

"……what?"

Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

He never expected to smell this plant in such a war-torn place.

What's going on here?

When Lupin III and his gang were fighting Chen En, he casually tossed out a konjac flower to demonstrate his perfect handgun shooting accuracy? That seems a bit too far-fetched, doesn't it?

"What on earth is going on with these people...?"

The famous detective from Kansai muttered to himself.

……

The Osaka Police Headquarters, the meeting room where Inspector Zenigata and Hiryuji previously spoke.

The mechanical puppeteer known as the Flying Dragon Warrior has just received a new message.

He was somewhat taken aback when he received the news.
