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

He would repeatedly test the trust and credibility of those around him, but he was decisively different from those testers who were ready to smash the glass.

Chen En knew when to stop the test.

Therefore, even though his tests come one after another, they never cause anyone trouble or anger.

"Matsumoto Kiyonaga, were you really replaced?"

"If you really have been replaced, then where is the real Matsumoto Kiyonaga now?"

Hakuba Saguru stared at Matsumoto Kiyonaga on the screen, somewhat lost in thought.

He was somewhat worried about Matsumoto Kiyonaga's current condition.

However, he felt that the Black Organization members should know what was going on.

After all, Kiyonaga Matsumoto was the superintendent of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Even if they did kidnap Matsumoto Kiyonaga, they shouldn't have killed him.

If someone is killed, then the incident becomes a completely different matter.

At that time, it won't be the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department or the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Agency that will be deployed, but the Self-Defense Counterattack Force.

He pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision.

Since he didn't completely trust Chen En's ideas, he needed to find another opportunity to subtly ask others to help test Matsumoto Kiyonaga's reaction.

If this person was indeed replaced, then their reaction could not possibly be exactly the same as that of Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

If we just bring a few of Matsumoto's cronies, we'll see him slip up sooner or later.

Although tomorrow will only be daytime, it will be relatively insufficient.

But if it's just to verify a hypothesis, that should be enough...

Just as Hakuba Saguru made his decision and was about to get up to use his connections to obtain a defense map after the meeting, an unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared on the conference room screen.

That was a police officer on the hotline in the main lobby.

He pushed open the conference room door and immediately gave a serious report.

"Batman has reappeared."

"He handled a robbery that happened in Beika Town. The people who tried to rob a jewelry store were all wearing Kamen Rider masks... well, it had nothing to do with the Raven Society, but..."

"Because you mentioned before that whenever Batman appears, the incidents he handles must be reported here immediately."

"So I came straight here, I hope I didn't disturb your meeting."

The five high-ranking officials from the Criminal Investigation Department in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the end, I didn't know what to say anymore.

There are always oddballs every year, but this year there seem to be an unusually large number.

No, it's been particularly high in the last six months.

But seriously, why do so many people use Kamen Rider or Gomera props to commit crimes? How many times is this? Are children's tokusatsu dramas really that appealing to people?

It seems like blowing up Toei would be safer...

Hakuba Saguru looked at the conversation on the screen and couldn't help but feel speechless.

What to say?

Batman is definitely a man who can't sit still.

He just left the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and immediately went off to do more good deeds.

He works non-stop day and night, as if he doesn't need to sleep. It's hard to imagine that such a guy is actually a human... No, could he be some kind of monster in disguise?

I'll go back and confirm with that Onmyoji named Ashiya.

I believe that identifying the true form is not a difficult task for an Onmyoji.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is separated from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department by only one wall.

The investigators have already received Batman's message.

The attitude of this Night Knight from Beika Town was very clear.

He has roughly determined who the high-ranking mole within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is.

He also promised to personally intervene and help resolve the potential threats during Pisco's transfer operation tomorrow night.

Therefore, it is best to proceed with the transfer of Pisk as scheduled tomorrow night.

Upon seeing this, the investigator's expression turned slightly serious.

No wonder he's a world-famous detective.

His abilities in this area are truly outstanding.

The mole's true identity was discovered in just one day.

Unlike Kuroda Hyōe, who still has no clue.

No, even Kuroda Hyoue himself could be a mole who was replaced...

The investigator was about to sigh, lamenting the unreliability of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Then, thinking about how Batman had almost exposed the high-ranking mole within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, while the high-ranking mole within the Tokyo Police Department was still nowhere to be found, I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over me.

Alright, let's not talk about the second brother anymore. He should hurry up and arrange the detailed operational procedures for tomorrow.

If the Raven Society and the Black Organization really don't intend to rescue Pisco, then he can simply transport Pisco to a secret prison; he won't lose anything either way.

However, upon thinking of this, the investigator suddenly paused.

Oh no, this is bad.

He didn't ask Calvados what to do next.

Although he is not as high-ranking as Piscow, this person is also a codenamed member of the Black Organization.

Should we bring Calvados along and transport him out of the city together?

Or rather, it's a feint...

After all, he's a codename member of the Black Organization, so he must be able to offer some value, right?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department doesn't keep idle people around.

Chapter 1248 Your Sister Misses You

"...These have been truly eventful times lately."

"Even I'm getting a bit too tired to handle this. I'm starting to have the idea of ​​confirming Shinichi Kudo's true identity, finding out how he turned back into his original form, and then just going straight back to Britain."

In her newly rented hotel room, Mary Akai spoke softly.

She clearly saw Hondo Emi as the host on television.

I originally thought that this senior CIA investigator had resigned from her position as a host on Nichiuri TV and gone into hiding, but I didn't expect that she would be rehired, or rather, she never left in the first place and has now gone even further.

This may mean that the Black Organization or the CIA have bigger schemes or plans in Tokyo.

However, this MI6 agent was completely unaware of this.

There was simply no way to obtain information.

Even the FBI is the same.

There was indeed an undercover agent within the FBI who had infiltrated the Black Organization, but that agent's name was Shuichi Akai, her eldest son, and he had already left the Black Organization.

They might have even less intelligence over there than MI6 does, so we can't count on them.

Otherwise, Mary Akai wouldn't have sent Masumi Sera to the Mouri Detective Agency at this time, intending to try and get information from Conan or talk to Kogoro Mouri.

Unfortunately, Kogoro Mouri and his family had already left Tokyo and gone on a trip to other places with Chen En and Sonoko Suzuki.

She hasn't been home for the past few days, leaving Sera Masumi empty-handed.

"Mom, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Although Japan is a country with strict gun control, I always feel that the number of guns here is no less than that in the United States. It's hard to imagine that Tokyo has become so chaotic."

"It's like a tornado has swept through Tokyo, attracting all sorts of random things to the city."

Sera Masumi, sitting next to Akai Mary, offered words of comfort.

"Moreover, the fact that the FBI has not sent any information may not be because they have no channels of information access within the Black Organization, but rather because they have other matters to attend to."

"Lupin III has always been a target of the FBI."

"And the princess of Queen Vesbania, who is said to have a close relationship with Lupin III, will arrive in Tokyo soon. There is also a commotion about Lupin III in Osaka Prefecture. The FBI suspects that Lupin III will come to Tokyo."

"So now we are making security preparations for dealing with Lupin III and Princess Vesbania later."

"They might be able to find the relevant information when they have some free time."

By the time they had some free time, the strange storm had ended.

Mary Akai was at a loss for words.

However, the FBI's inefficiency is already well-known.

It's hard to imagine that the FBI branch in Tokyo is actually her eldest son's most capable intelligence-gathering and mission-carrying unit.

But speaking of my eldest son...

Mary Akai couldn't help but think of Shuichi Akai, who had already taken the alias Kuvatrobagina and joined the United States military base in Japan as an officer, secretly investigating information.

Come to think of it, it's been quite a while since she's seen Shuichi Akai.

I wonder what this filial son is up to at the military base.

He is, after all, her son.

Although he had previously fought her in the Imperial City in order to join the FBI.

She also cared about Shuichi Akai to some extent.
