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

The three detectives successfully blocked all of Flying Dragon's escape routes.

The old man felt immense pressure, swallowed hard, and finally recounted the whole story.

Chapter 1219 Batman's Suffering

Tokyo, a new day.

The J-League, held at the Tokyo National Stadium, a national focal point, has finally come to an end.

According to the original schedule, the end of the J-League was supposed to be postponed by a few more days.

However, due to the recent spate of troubles and problems in Tokyo.

The organizers of the event condensed the original schedule and ended the league before the next major incident involving a ghostly face broke out in Tokyo, in order to prevent fans from all over the country from getting injured and causing a decline in the popularity of the entire league.

"...The game is over, what a pity."

The rooftop of a bungalow near the Tokyo National Stadium.

Conan, holding his binoculars, watched the football league teams parade through the city, surrounded by fans and escorted by traffic police, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Seriously, don't those people watch football leagues?"

Why choose this particular time to do something like this?

"I've been so focused on the safety of Tokyo lately that I haven't had a chance to properly watch the exciting soccer league matches... Haibara, how's the view over there?"

Somewhat helplessly, he asked Ai Haibara, one of the members of the Junior Detective Club who was near the parade, through the walkie-talkie.

I went to bed really late last night.

This caused Conan to oversleep this morning and miss the opportunity for the Junior Detective League members to go to the parade area to watch the soccer league teams parade. In the end, he could only find a high place to watch from a distance, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Ai Haibara on the other end of the walkie-talkie did not answer.

Without much thought, he probably felt that answering his questions using a walkie-talkie in the midst of a large crowd would be too troublesome, so he simply gave up answering.

And the scene was visibly lively.

Conan finally used his binoculars to carefully search for the location of the Junior Detective League members.

Finally, using Professor Agasa's somewhat large figure as an anchor point, they successfully located the location of the Junior Detective League members, where Ai Haibara was standing next to Professor Agasa watching the Osaka BIG team's parade.

...Damn it, this guy is such a womanizer.

Conan couldn't help but think to himself.

But now that the football league is over, he can finally focus all his attention on the upcoming major event in Tokyo, the new Shinjukugan.

Last night, he and Chen En went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to obtain firsthand information.

He then went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and a hospital, where he visited the five high-ranking officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division who were injured in the attack, and reached a consensus on cooperation with Hakuba Saguru.

Hakuba Saguru has now begun secretly investigating whether there is anything unusual about the three high-ranking officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.

He was in this position partly to observe the football league parade through binoculars.

On the other hand, this location also provides a direct view of the condition of the Beika Central Hospital where Kuroda Hyōe and Matsumoto Kiyonaga are staying...

Although both injured high-ranking officials from the Criminal Investigation Department said they would be discharged from the hospital today.

"According to the surveillance footage inside Mikasa Central Hospital."

"Conan, both Matsumoto and Kuroda, the two superintendents, are ready to be discharged from the hospital."

The sound of Noah's Ark came through the headphones at just the right moment.

Conan's attention was instantly drawn back by the sound of Noah's Ark. He quickly turned his binoculars towards the direction of Beika Central Hospital and saw a police car from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department parked outside the hospital.

The group that came to pick up Matsumoto Kiyonaga was undoubtedly his old subordinate, Inspector Megure and his entourage.

The officers who came to pick up Kuroda Hyōe were from the Fourth Investigation Division.

Although Conan, as Yusaku Kudo's son, is very familiar with the internal structure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he has very little contact with the Fourth Investigation Division. The only person he has contacted is the former inspector of the Fourth Investigation Division.

The reason he is called the ex is because Uncle Mori's old friend has already been imprisoned for corruption.

Apart from that, I don't know anyone in the Fourth Investigation Division.

Not to mention the Fourth Investigation Division, which was thoroughly purged by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department after the last major reshuffle of the underworld organizations. Even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's own people probably wouldn't recognize which officers were in the Fourth Investigation Division.

"...Are the listening devices next to Mihana Central Hospital still functioning properly?"

Conan gently rubbed his earphones with his fingers and asked in a low voice.

Although no one else nearby could hear his conversation with Noah's Ark, he did it instinctively anyway.

What if the mysterious mechanism that makes their secret plot overheard is triggered?

Although Conan felt that with his distinctive facial expressions, he shouldn't be noticed by the Black Organization even next to Beika Central Hospital... just to be on the safe side, he thought it was still necessary to guard against Ireland.

Therefore, as a backup measure, listening devices were installed near Mikasa Central Hospital.

In this way, even without being near Mikasa Central Hospital, he could obtain the conversations between the two suspected high-ranking officers of the Criminal Investigation Department and other police officers, thus determining whether they were indeed involved in any problems.

……

"Manager Matsumoto, I never expected you to be attacked."

Next to Matsumoto Kiyonaga was Inspector Megure.

He said it with some disbelief.

"Normally, no one would do something so stupid, right?"

Inspector Megure couldn't understand the perpetrator's psychology at all, and could only make sarcastic remarks.

"Seriously, the probability of our Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers being attacked has been a bit high lately... I really admire that Supervisor Chaki from the Second Investigation Division, even though he was just beaten up and hospitalized in Hakodate City."

"He's truly a person with a strong will despite his physical disability."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga merely smirked at this, inwardly grumbling to himself.

The phrase "disabled but determined" probably doesn't apply to Chaki Shintaro.

I think that guy simply felt that since he had already been attacked, staying at Beika Central Hospital would only put him in greater danger, so he might as well hide at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for a couple of days. That way, when Batman made his move, he could go home and sleep soundly.

Batman suffers, and he bears the blame.

"After we get back..."

Without delving too deeply into the topic of Chaki Shintaro, Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke only to Inspector Megure, then, as if sensing something, abruptly turned his head to look in another direction. He swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Over there was Manager Kuroda, who had just returned from the pharmacy under the protection of officers from the Fourth Investigation Division.

"...Megure, let's talk about it when we get back."

Chief Inspector Matsumoto simply said this before turning and moving toward the police car outside, showing no intention of paying any attention to Kuroda Hyōe. Inspector Megure, who was standing nearby, had no choice but to follow with officers including Takagi Wataru.

Kuroda Hyoue stroked his chin thoughtfully and finally decided to contact the undercover investigator first.

Let's see what the Japanese Public Security Bureau's next plan is.

Chapter 1220 Decoy Tactics

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, in the Public Security Planning Division's office.

The investigator rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled.

He didn't sleep a wink last night.

Don't ask, the big one is coming. As the head of the Public Security Planning Department, how could he fall asleep so easily? In the end, the big one didn't come, and he almost wore himself out.

Feeling a headache from not sleeping all night, Investigator Ke Li couldn't help but wonder if he should take a break during the day while there was nothing to do. Just then, his phone vibrated.

Someone sent him a message.

It's strange, who would send him a message at this time?

The investigator was somewhat puzzled, but he still picked up his phone and pressed the view button.

The next moment, what appeared in his field of vision was a message from Kuroda Hyōe.

This police officer, who was once a veteran of the Public Security Planning Division, has now risen to the position of supervising officer in the Criminal Investigation Division 4 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He provided considerable assistance to the Japanese Public Security Bureau during the previous investigation of the Raven Conference.

The message being sent now is to inquire about the Japanese Public Security Bureau's next steps regarding the Ravens Society and the Black Organization.

However, upon seeing the news before him, the investigator hesitated.

He's certainly not a fool.

An incident occurred at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department last night.

At first, he didn't know what had happened, but later he learned that all five high-ranking officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division had been attacked, but there must be something fishy about it.

Especially considering that before leaving, Rei Furuya left information about the disguise techniques of the Black Organization member codenamed Vermouth in the internal confidential database of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Last night, Batman messaged him, asking him to cooperate with the transfer operation, and he also mentioned it.

He suspected that one of the five high-ranking officials in the Criminal Investigation Department had been replaced by Ireland, the head of the Black Organization in Tokyo, with Kuroda Hyōe and Matsumoto Kiyōna being the prime suspects.

Should we tell Kuroda Hyōe about the subsequent relocation plan?

The investigator tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.

Of course, we should tell Kuroda Heibei.

He knew very well that tomorrow's Pisk transfer plan was just a smokescreen, or rather, a bait to lure the snake out of its hole. And the bait naturally had to spread its aroma in order to catch the fish.

After all, the headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau is located in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

What sense would there be in transferring key criminals from headquarters to other branches? Even for security reasons, no other branch could be safer than the Tokyo branch with Batman...

After a moment's thought, the investigator edited and sent the message to Kuroda Heibei, and then sent a message to express his condolences to the Gold Watch Group members who were still lying in the hospital.

However, the gold watch group member lying in the hospital room did not reply with any text, but only typed an ellipsis.
