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

Ireland immediately made a decision and gave a signal.

Death God immediately understood and turned to leave the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

They decided to split up.

The leader of the Black Organization's peripheral members, Shiro, was tasked with tracking down the group that left through the back door of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to see if they could find and apprehend them, thereby determining who was transporting the people inside.

Ireland, on the other hand, moved toward the main force according to the previously planned reconnaissance operation.

He wanted to see if that red dot actually represented Pisker.

If the two sides split up now, one side will eventually be able to rescue the real Pisco, even if the main force's side is a trap, it will still be worth it.

Chapter 1278 The Empty Administrator's Office

Tonight, the atmosphere in Tokyo feels exceptionally dangerous.

If someone were to observe closely, they would notice that the number of patrol cars dispatched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department tonight was significantly higher than usual.

In reality, the additional patrol cars do not represent the full force of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

A large number of plainclothes police officers were also moving around the area along the transfer route.

After all, if they were really wearing police uniforms and driving police cars to help with the transfer, it would be tantamount to handing over the transfer route to the Black Organization and the Ravens.

Although the two officers in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department already knew that the Black Organization and the Ravens were aware of this operation.

However, at least on the surface, we still have to put on an act.

"Where are the Japanese Public Security personnel located now?"

The temporary command center of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for this transfer operation.

Kuroda Hyoue, who had just driven over, glanced at the relocation route map spread out on the table, then asked the technical officer who was watching the surveillance system nearby without looking up.

Meanwhile, the superintendent of the Third Investigation Division sat to the side, nervously rubbing the armrests of the table and chair.

He's really not qualified for this kind of work.

Otherwise, Toshiro Odagiri wouldn't have assigned the officers of Investigation Division 2 and Investigation Division 3, both departments within the Criminal Investigation Department, to assist Investigation Division 1 and Investigation Division 4, respectively.

Therefore, the main focus of the Third Investigation Division is trust.

He doesn't understand it, nor does he need to look at the current situation.

As long as Kuroda Hyōe knows what he's doing, just tell him where he's going and how he's going to act, and he'll take his men there.

When laymen instruct experts, it can actually lead to serious problems.

The technical officer, who was checking the newly installed surveillance system, quickly replied.

"The Japanese Public Security convoy is almost at the city center."

"However, according to the original plan, the convoy will only pass through the central area and take the shortest route away from the densely populated area to avoid the ravens attacking in that area and causing panic among the people."

Yes, if the Japanese Public Security Bureau could think of something like this, the Black Organization could too.

Kuroda Hyoue stroked his chin with his fingers, his brows furrowing slightly.

He felt that the Black Organization would most likely send people to attack the Japanese Public Security Bureau's transport convoy near the city center.

Their policing system has to consider situations like panic among the population.

However, a major criminal organization like the Black Organization would not hesitate to take action if necessary, and would stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

He frowned and asked.

“I remember that most of the police force was deployed in that area.”

"How is their deployment going? Can you see their current location from the monitoring system?"

Upon hearing this, the technical officer stared at the situation carefully for a while before answering.

"This... might not be visible."

"Most officers patrol the area in plainclothes, and even we can't easily pinpoint their location in crowded places."

The technical police officer's words were not unexpected by Kuroda Hyōe.

Kuroda Hyōe immediately turned to the superintendent of the Third Investigation Division and asked.

"I need to take charge of further command work here in the conference room, so could you please contact the Metropolitan Police Department's conference room and have Superintendent Matsumoto and Superintendent Chaki take people to the city center for further patrols and security?"

"No need to wear plainclothes, just drive there in your police uniform and police car."

The head of the Third Investigation Division found this idea rather strange.

Wouldn't that alert the enemy?

However, just as mentioned before.

The superintendent of the Third Investigation Division was not an expert in this field, and his view on it was limited to simply doing whatever Kuroda Hyōe said without holding him back.

Therefore, although he found it strange, the officer in charge of the Third Investigation Division did not ask any questions, but simply got up and left the command room.

Without saying a word, he called the office of the head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

At that moment, Toshiro Odagiri, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, had already picked up the phone.

He found it strange that someone would call him at this time.

Because the Japanese Public Security Bureau's convoy didn't actually have much time to depart.

Does this mean that the Japanese Public Security Bureau has already been attacked and needs backup so quickly?

Odagiri Toshiro listened as the superintendent of the Third Investigation Division explained Kuroda Hyōe's views on the matter.

He immediately fell into thought.

Do you really think the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division can just let this matter drop?

Going there fully armed might alert the enemy.

However, the current situation is that the Black Organization knows that they must already know about their relocation plan and may attack at any time... This can actually have a certain deterrent effect.

Furthermore, if either Matsumoto Kiyonaga or Chaki Shintaro is a high-ranking official who has been replaced...

Even if they are replaced, the officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department cannot be replaced.

Especially the officers from the First Investigation Division.

If either of them is an imposter, they would be apprehended on the spot by the police officers around them if they were to make a move in a crowded place.

If not, it can also ensure that the black-clad organization will not take action in crowded places, thereby causing unrest.

This suggestion is not entirely unacceptable.

Odagiri Toshiro quickly made up his mind and immediately notified Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Chaki Shintaro.

However, to Toshiro Odagiri's surprise...

Chaki Shintaro is indeed still in the office of the superintendent of the Second Investigation Division, discussing possible actions with his subordinates and giving them a heads-up.

However, no one answered the phone in the office of the officer in charge of the First Investigation Division.

He immediately sensed something was wrong and pushed open the door without saying a word.

Several police officers passing by immediately turned their attention to Toshiro Odagiri.

They didn't understand why the Minister of Criminal Investigation looked so rushed. Was there something he needed to do right now?

Toshiro Odagiri doesn't bring up anything else; he just takes what you've said as an example.

"Search the office of the section chief."

"I need to ascertain the current situation of Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the officer in charge of the First Investigation Division!"

Upon hearing this, the other officers exchanged glances and immediately sprang into action.

However, when everyone arrived at the office of the First Investigative Division's superintendent...

The administrator's office was empty.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was supposed to be here, has disappeared.

Meanwhile, Inspector Megure and his team, who were nearby and had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, also frowned at the sight.

Because they were quite familiar with their former superior, Matsumoto Kiyoshi.

Given his personality, it's highly unlikely that this former boss would leave at this crucial juncture without leaving any trace.

From this perspective...

Odagiri Toshiro's heart sank, because he had already come to a guess.

It is highly likely that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was indeed the disguised high-ranking officer of the Metropolitan Police Department.

But if we say that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was a high-ranking official in the Metropolitan Police Department who was actually in disguise.

So where is the real Matsumoto Kiyonaga now?

Chapter 1279 A Simple and Powerful Answer

"It really is just as Batman said."

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Hakuba Saguru watched the numerous officers from the Criminal Investigation Department bustling about, reached out and petted the falcon on his shoulder, and couldn't help but feel a bit more appreciative of Batman's earlier assessment, saying with some emotion.

"Perhaps Batman is even more talented than me at detective work?"

Although he was the son of the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he also held the empty title of advisor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

However, in reality, Hakuba Saguru had little room to intervene in such a large-scale operation.

When the bomber was planting bombs all over the city, Hakuba Saguru was able to act as a commander because the guy used puzzles to predict the location of the bombs.

However, the Black Organization and the Ravens will not give any prior notice of where or when they start fighting.
