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

"Release those mechanical birds equipped with other devices from the various temporary bat caves."

Chen En immediately issued instructions to Noah's Ark.

Before the bat cave beneath Chen En Manor is fully completed.

To facilitate Chen En's operations, Suzuki Jirokichi built temporary bat caves in several locations in Tokyo, where he placed various vehicles for transportation and emergency weapons.

Although the bat cave has now been completed, Chen En has not given up on those temporary bat caves.

With the help of Professor Agasa, those temporary bat caves were even upgraded to some extent.

For example, he could remotely control the opening of a temporary bat cave, activate the drones and mechanical birds inside, and have Noah's Ark operate them to carry out the operation.

Upon receiving the order, Noah's Ark immediately activated temporary bat caves throughout Tokyo.

At this moment, all the drones and mechanical birds that had been shut down inside also came out in droves.

As a super artificial intelligence far ahead of its time, Noah's Ark's ability to manipulate these mechanical birds and drones far exceeds the limits of ordinary people. It can even simultaneously control hundreds or thousands of drones and issue commands to hundreds of mechanical birds.

Of course, this is not the limit of Noah's Ark, but merely the limit of its production capacity.

If the Flying Dragon Warriors have even more mechanical birds in stock, it's not impossible to double the original number... but that's a matter for later.

Those inconspicuous flying objects, coated with optical stealth coatings, sped through the streets and alleys, completely invisible at night.

Neither the gangsters engaged in a firefight nor the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department police cars speeding by were aware that something extremely dangerous was passing overhead.

At one of the clashes between the underworld organization and the Raven Society.

Many gangsters were overwhelmed by the Raven Society's superior weaponry and could not even lift their heads.

If it weren't for the surrounding cover and their familiarity with the area, they would probably have been riddled with bullets by now by the Ravens, these well-trained members who don't seem like gangsters at all.

The leader of this criminal organization was seething with anger.

Damn it, why haven't the cops arrived yet?

This underworld leader never imagined that one day he would want the police to arrive at the scene of a gang fight more than ordinary people to stop the conflict.

Just as he was wondering why the police hadn't arrived yet and whether he should start running away,

He felt something flash past in the corner of his eye.

The leader of the underworld organization subconsciously raised his head.

Then, a dark shadow was seen hovering in the night sky above the center of the battle between the two underworld organizations. Before one could think about what it was, a dark object of unknown origin fell from the sky.

A very absurd thought flashed through his mind unconsciously.

What kind of bird is this, laying its eggs right in the center of the battlefield at this time?

Unfortunately not.

The hypnotic smoke bombs dropped by the mechanical bird exploded violently on the ground and spread with the wind, enveloping the people on both sides. The hypnotic gas instantly affected their nerves.

Even though the Ravens anticipated that Batman might come to the scene to deal with them.

Therefore, as instructed by their superiors, everyone carried a gas mask or face mask, but at this moment, faced with this clearly tampered hypnotic smoke bomb, there wasn't even time to put on a mask or face mask.

In just over ten seconds, the fierce battleground between gangsters fell silent.

Meanwhile, the mechanical birds and drones circling in the sky were also rapidly heading towards the next battle zone.

By the time the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's police cars arrived at the scene, it was all over.

Inspector Megure felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the scene of a gangland shootout, with members lying haphazardly on the ground, seemingly oblivious to what had happened. He sensed that something eerie was amiss.

Was it Batman who intervened?

No, it's impossible.

If Batman were to intervene, these gangsters fighting wouldn't just be lying on the ground in disarray; they would all be suffering broken bones.

But... if it wasn't Batman, then who was it that intervened at this time?

Inspector Megure asked other officers to help check on the condition of these people, called an ambulance, and then took out his walkie-talkie to report the situation to Toshiro Odagiri.

"This is Megure. We have just arrived at the scene of a gang fight mentioned in the 911 report."

"But for some reason, both sides of the gang fight at the scene were unconscious. The specific reason is unknown, but judging from the lack of external injuries, it shouldn't be Batman who was involved."

Inspector Megure's words caused Toshiro Odagiri, who was still in the Criminal Investigation Department Chief's office, to fall silent for a moment.

He was also puzzled by the situation reported by Inspector Megure.

However, before Odagiri Toshiro could respond to Inspector Megure, another channel on the walkie-talkie suddenly switched in. This time, it was Shiratori Ninzaburo who was leading another team to a scene of a gangland shootout.

The eldest son of the Shiratori family also gave a serious report of the exact same situation.

Moreover, it wasn't just Shiratori Ninzaburo; other police inspectors who were the first to arrive at the scene of the yakuza fight also reported encountering similar situations. For a moment, Odagiri Toshiro was startled.

Could it be that someone else besides them made a move?

Chapter 1284 Attack

"...I wonder what exactly is handling all these urgent cases?"

At that moment, Hakuba Saguru, who was listening to the handling of the incident beside Odagiri Toshiro after receiving the news, subconsciously touched his chin and then muttered to himself.

"Generally speaking, this kind of situation is where the exact circumstances are unknown, but it helps police officers deal with criminals."

"I think it's safe to say that Batman was behind it."

Odagiri Toshiro, who had just been pondering who was secretly interfering at this moment, looked up at Hakuba Saguru.

His eyes showed obvious confusion.

As the head of the Criminal Division, he always believed that reasoning required evidence.

Therefore, Toshiro Odagiri paused for a moment, and then asked.

"What's your basis for this, Detective White Horse?"

Hakuba Saguru answered this matter as a matter of course.

"Because he is Batman."

"So it's perfectly reasonable for him to produce something that would be impossible under normal circumstances."

Toshiro Odagiri: ?

Your reasoning is ridiculous, but I can't seem to find any reason to refute it.

After all, if I asked Batman himself, he would most likely give the same answer.

Toshiro Odagiri ultimately decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

Regardless, with the Criminal Investigation Department only able to mobilize the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division, the police force was severely insufficient to handle the urgent cases occurring in various parts of Tokyo.

Regardless of whether it was Batman or someone else who made the move.

As long as we can ensure that nothing happens in Tokyo tonight, everything else is a matter for later. We can investigate later; there's no need to dwell on this... Anyway, sooner or later, some die-hard Batman fans will be watching and taking pictures.

Then, after a while, they would post the corresponding news on the forum, saying that they had discovered something new about Batman.

...Isn't that how it's always depicted in comics and movies?

There's something to look forward to.

When I saw Odagiri Toshiro turn around and start arranging further tasks for the First Investigation Division and the Second Investigation Division.

Hakuba Saguru knew that Odagiri Toshiro probably didn't want to argue with him about this topic anymore.

So the famous detective, who had just returned from studying in England, could only shrug and tease Watson, the falcon perched on his shoulder, with a hint of amazement in his heart.

He wasn't joking with Toshiro Odagiri.

Rather, he genuinely believed that those gangland shootouts that were prevented without knowing the exact circumstances were actually happening.

It was mostly Batman's doing.

Batman is someone who won't tolerate repeating the same mistakes he made in the past.

He had already made a mistake once before because of this.

Therefore, if criminals were to use this tactic of spreading their influence everywhere to distract Batman and secretly carry out their plans, Batman would definitely devise a countermeasure and put it into action.

However, Hakuba Saguru did not expect Batman's response to be so efficient and swift.

Even he couldn't immediately figure out what methods Batman had used to deal with those gangster organizations fighting each other.

Could it be that they recruited a huge number of Robins all at once?

...Although Batman always hires child laborers, it's unlikely that he would actually hire elementary school-aged children as Robin. It would be difficult to find a high school student like Shinichi Kudo who has shrunk in size.

Hakuba Saguru wondered to himself when he could go and verify this with Conan.

Then attention shifted to the two Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department transfer teams.

Since that unknown criminal organization has already adopted this diversionary tactic, it means they are about to attack the Japanese Public Security Bureau's evacuation team in order to rescue people.

In other words, both Batman and Conan's side should have already started encountering attackers.

Now we're just waiting for concrete news to come back.

……

The situation was indeed just as Hakuba Saguru had imagined.

Since Ireland has already started having the Ravens attack various underworld organizations in Tokyo to create fight scenes and attract Batman's attention, it's clear that they're about to take action.

This wasn't the first time he'd clashed with Batman.

Last time, when Curaçao helped to plant a bomb in order to kill Shuichi Akai, bombs were scattered all over Tokyo, making the situation even more serious than it is now, because the locations of the bombs were not disclosed at the time.

It was impossible for the citizens of Tokyo to recognize that they had secretly planted a bomb and report it to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The time it takes for ordinary citizens to report a gang fight to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, attracting Batman's attention, and for Batman to take action to stop it, is not comparable to the time it takes for citizens to report a gang fight to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, attracting Batman's attention and for him to take action.

However, Batman still managed to defuse all the bombs that were about to explode in a very short time.

Given this known premise, Ireland speculates that Batman could probably eliminate those Ravens branch members much faster than he could defuse all the bombs in the city last time.
