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

Last night, when he fought with Ishikawa Goemon and the others, he personally witnessed Ishikawa Goemon using a secret sword technique called Tornado Reversal.

Although the officers at the Osaka Police Headquarters are unlikely to use live ammunition when dealing with Lupin III and his gang.

At most, they can only use blank rounds or unpowered rounds, but if they face that move, bullets will probably fly everywhere, and if they stand there for too long, they will easily be killed as cannon fodder.

There's no need to worry about Hattori Heiji.

Although Chen En could easily shatter Hattori Heiji's wooden sword with a single chop, it doesn't mean that Hattori Heiji's swordsmanship was insufficient to ensure his safety in the face of such ricocheting bullets.

At most, he couldn't deflect all the bullets back with his Zantetsu sword like Ishikawa Goemon.

"~I see."

Sonoko Suzuki, carrying a large bag of snacks and holding half a skewer of meatballs, simply smiled and said...

"Well, Arn, remember to tell me the details later."

"I'd also like to know what your duel with Lupin III would be like."

If all goes well, we'll not only be able to listen to the broadcast, but also watch the actual battle footage.

Given Arn's personality, he would definitely install surveillance cameras in this area in advance to ensure intelligence gathering before the battle and facilitate intelligence retaliation after the battle, right?

Kazuha Toyama, standing next to Sonoko Suzuki, looked somewhat worried.

"...Heiji, are you guys really okay?"

"Sonoko, you too... It would be really troublesome if you sneaked into a police-sealed area to fight Lupin III. If you got caught, you might be detained, you know?"

Detention? Arne?

Sonoko Suzuki blinked, unsure of what to say for a moment.

If one of the infiltrating duo is to be caught, it can only be Hattori Heiji, not Chen En... Don't ask, the answer is Black Flash, you can't catch him.

If someone could catch Batman in the complex terrain, Batman wouldn't be able to run rampant in Tokyo.

Hattori Heiji simply waved his hand dismissively, bypassed the blockade, and spoke directly.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

He had just bypassed the blockade when he grabbed the brim of his hat, turned it right side up, and then pulled the brim down slightly, instantly casting a shadow over half of his eye. His gaze sharpened, and he spoke earnestly.

"Lupin III, it won't take you too long..."

"Because I'll catch you as fast as I can!"

Upon hearing this, Chen En glanced at Hattori Heiji beside him.

He hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything more, just took another sip of coffee.

Respect individual destiny and trust in your own choices.

There must be a deeper meaning behind Hattori Heiji's actions.

Chapter 1230 The Controller of the Surveillance Footage

Recorded by the surveillance system installed at the scene by the Osaka Police Headquarters.

As a key figure in Lupin III's objective, the engineer, Hiryuji, was sitting in the center of a blank area intentionally marked out by patrol officers from the Osaka Police Headquarters, seemingly somewhat uneasy.

Officers from the Osaka Police Headquarters, stationed at a temporary command center near the scene, are diligently monitoring the surveillance footage.

They were terrified that something might go wrong and cause Lupin III to switch out the Flying Dragon Warrior in the blink of an eye.

Although this sounds absurd—after all, how could a living person be switched at will?—if it were Lupin III… well, it's Lupin III!

A legendary thief who was already active around the world when he was in elementary school!

However, what the police officer was completely unaware of was that the legendary thief was standing right next to him at that very moment.

Just as Hattori Heizo had thought, Lupin III had quietly changed into the uniform of an Osaka Police Headquarters officer and was now standing behind the technical officer, examining the surveillance footage.

For Lupin III, who possesses unparalleled disguise skills.

He could impersonate almost anyone in the world.

If he wants to.

Disguising himself as a police officer from the Osaka Police Headquarters was naturally no problem for him.

Moreover, not only has Lupin III disguised himself as a police officer and entered the temporary command headquarters, but Goemon Ishikawa and Daisuke Jigen have also done so... although they still act as if they're doing things their own way.

However, these two wouldn't normally be needed for the various thefts; they were just there to provide backup.

If it's just petty theft, and you're simply dealing with the Osaka Police Headquarters...

Lupin III didn't even bother his two good friends; he came all by himself.

The reason for this large-scale mobilization is entirely due to consideration for the legendary Dark Knight who came from Tokyo to Osaka.

Last night's fight with Batman fully demonstrated the combat power of Black Luck, whose mechanics, stats, and items are all maxed out.

He's not stupid; if he has teammates, he'll definitely use them.

To send him to fight Batman one-on-one, especially after Batman was informed in advance where he would appear?

Then all I can say is, don't try to make your Batman brother laugh; he's just a random guy on the street.

"Oh dear, it seems the old man has already arrived at the scene."

Lupin III smiled and stroked his chin.

"Looks like I need to take action too... right?"

He stared at the Flying Dragons on the monitor for a while, then pondered for a moment. After thinking it over, he nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the temporary command headquarters, preparing to say goodbye to his teammates.

And so Lupin III walked out of the temporary command headquarters.

The officer, who was constantly watching the surveillance footage and preparing to take notes, only noticed that another officer had been standing behind him. He was startled and patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Phew, that scared me to death... Thank goodness it wasn't Lupin III."

"Otherwise, my salary and professional title will be at risk."

He muttered to himself as he continued to stare at the surveillance footage.

However, a segment in one corner of the surveillance footage showed a completely different view from the actual situation.

Although the area appeared empty in the surveillance footage.

But actually there, Chen En had already put one hand into his suit pocket and was holding a coffee in the other hand, walking towards where Feilongshi was, while Hattori Heiji followed behind him in disbelief.

The famous detective from Kansai looked around suspiciously, then spotted the security camera not far away. He quickly grabbed Chen En's shoulder and whispered something.

"Hey, are you sure you want to go in like this?"

"Didn't we agree to sneak around?"

“You are a prominent figure in Tokyo and the chairman of such a large company. Even if you really go in, you can just spend a little money to bail yourself out without having to suffer at all.”

"But if I just swagger in like that and get caught on camera, I'll be in big trouble when I get home!"

Don't you ever consider my feelings?

Hearing this, Chen En turned and glanced at Hattori Heiji before speaking.

"This is stealth."

“From the moment we entered until now, we haven’t encountered a single patrolling police officer, not even a shadow of one, right? That’s because I had already calculated the patrol frequency and routes of all the patrolling officers in advance…”

“If you waste any more time here, the next patrol team will be here soon.”

As if confirming Chen En's words, the conversation of patrolling police officers could be faintly heard not far away.

Hattori Heiji felt a chill run down his spine and quickly followed Chen En forward, turning into a dark alley. He watched the patrol team of police officers passing by and smirked.

Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?

I thought this kind of stealth footage could only be seen in movies or games...

He sighed, put his hand to his forehead, and then spoke.

"I mean, even if you manage to sneak around and evade the patrol team, that's all."

"But there are surveillance cameras along the way, constantly monitoring the surrounding area. Even if we just walk by like this and avoid the patrolling police teams, we'll still be caught on camera, right?"

However, in response to such words, Chen En simply said...

"He can't get a picture."

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to ask further questions, he heard Chen En continue speaking.

"Because I won't allow it."

Hattori Heiji:?

That sounds so pretentious.

But will the actual situation change because of your personal will?

In fact, Noah's Ark had completely taken control of the monitoring system.

As a leading-edge super artificial intelligence with unparalleled computing power, Noah's Ark can easily modify the images displayed in the monitoring system using various image recognition functions.

Just like in the world before Chen En's transmigration, artificial intelligence could already generate images or faces so intelligently that they were indistinguishable to humans... If low-level artificial intelligence could do those things, Noah's Ark could naturally do them too.

He can easily make some people's actions disappear from the surveillance footage.

It can make people who are not present appear, and it can make things that are stopped move. It can be said that in the information age with its wide-ranging surveillance coverage, it can perform almost everything that humans can imagine.

Noah's Ark was within Chen En's control, which is why he could give such a confident answer.

"...Lupin III is about to enter."

Chen En looked up at the location indicated by the ruler, which was nearby, and then spoke.

"I need you to go to another place to protect someone."
