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

But he never expected that there would be someone who looked exactly like him who had joined the Black Organization; it was simply too absurd.

Gin from the Black Organization attacked him earlier. Didn't he know that there was someone in his organization who looked exactly like him? Couldn't he have dealt with that person as well?

The moment Conan was forcibly controlled, Death God withdrew.

As he fled, he suddenly pulled a photograph from his pocket and threw out a comment.

The photo flew towards Conan like a hidden weapon. Conan instinctively dodged it and saw the edge of the photo pierce into a crack in the wall. When he turned his head, Death God had already taken the opportunity to disappear from sight.

For Conan, who has mastered the mechanical bird as his field of vision, the pursuit is not a difficult task.

Even with just the mechanical bird, it's very likely that it would be shaken off by this one that looks just like it.

However, if he continues to use the mechanical bird to locate and pursue the person, he probably won't be able to escape from him. But... he is somewhat concerned about what that person just said.

Conan quickly pulled out a brand-new set of disposable gloves from his hidden compartment and put them on before pulling out the photo.

The photo later shows Matsumoto Kiyonaga tied up.

The other person seemed to be carrying a time bomb, and the situation looked extremely dire. There was an address written on the back of the photo, and considering what that person had said when they left, the current situation was self-evident.

"...They're actually using hostages to stall me?"

Conan's brows furrowed deeply.

The words of the Death God who had just escaped echoed in his mind.

[If you still want to rescue Matsumoto from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, go to the place in the photo now. I've set a one-hour detonation time, starting the countdown from the moment the Japanese Public Security Bureau troops depart.]

There are less than ten minutes left. If you're late, you'll be collecting corpses!

Chapter 1301 What if it's a remote-controlled bomb disguised as a time bomb?

Although Conan still felt somewhat resentful about letting that person escape.

However, he knew very well how to weigh the options between catching the criminal and rescuing the innocent hostages, so he did not hesitate to turn and move toward the address written in the photo.

Along the way, Conan didn't forget to send a distress signal to Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark immediately dispatched mechanical birds to continue tracking the black-clad organization member who looked exactly like him, while also sending drones to the address written in the photo to scout out the situation.

If it wasn't Matsumoto Kiyonaga inside, but rather some kind of trap...

At least we can be sure he won't be blown away with a bang the moment he pushes the door open.

The mechanical bird served as cannon fodder for mine detection.

Since these are mass-produced items, even if a few crash or explode, it won't be a big deal.

For Chen En, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Conan figured Chen En wouldn't mind the expenses incurred in dealing with criminals and rescuing hostages; he'd probably just give him a couple of flicks on the forehead afterward.

They might even praise him for doing a good job.

Conan rides his super skateboard, using the built-in battery inside to push it to its maximum speed.

He moved like a blue shadow, swiftly traversing the streets and alleys, following the navigation information provided by Noah's Ark, taking the fastest route towards Matsumoto Kiyonaga's location.

On the way, he didn't forget to adjust the power of his sneakers.

When he had already decided to give up the pursuit of the Black Organization member who looked exactly like him, Conan had already turned off the electric stimulation function of his sneakers.

While the shoes do indeed provide an extraordinary boost to his foot strength.

However, it also brings extremely heavy loads.

Even Chen En's inhuman physical abilities only reached the effect of immune current load after multiple improvements. For a primary school student whose physical abilities can be considered to be constant.

Continuously turning on the electric current stimulation from the sneakers is still a bit too much of a strain.

Conan predicted that he would soon arrive at the location where Matsumoto Kiyona was being held, so he slightly increased the power of the current to facilitate a quick movement and to prepare for kicking the soccer ball again.

Swish.

The skateboard made a screeching sound as it scraped against the ground.

He quickly brought his skateboard to a stop, his gaze falling on the seemingly ordinary abandoned warehouse in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

Why is it another abandoned warehouse?

This place is practically a strategic location that every military force in Beika Town must fight over.

He couldn't even remember how many heinous and extremely harmful incidents had occurred in this abandoned warehouse area. If Chen En hadn't said that it was better to guide than to block, he would have petitioned the Suzuki Group to just bulldoze this place.

In any case, given the financial resources of the Suzuki Group, buying up the entire area and rebuilding it wouldn't be difficult.

Conan paused briefly at the doorway, looked up at the mechanical bird flying out of the broken warehouse window, and asked about the situation of Noah's Ark through his earpiece.

"So? Are there any traps in the room?"

Despite asking this question, Conan felt that there were probably no traps involved.

After all, the mechanical birds sent in to detect mines all flew out of the warehouse unharmed.

Paro said that if there really were any traps inside, the mechanical bird obviously wouldn't have been able to circle in the night sky unscathed.

And the facts were exactly as Conan had predicted.

Noah's Ark replied with a hint of surprise.

"There is indeed no danger inside."

"Although Liu found the time bomb mentioned by the black-clad organization member you were talking to, the time bomb has not been detonated and remains in the off state."

"Only Matsumoto Kiyonaga's body was bound by iron chains, and he was unconscious on the ground."

...How come the time bomb didn't activate?

This situation surprised Conan.

In his mind, the members of the Black Organization were almost insane.

There have been countless instances of people choosing to blow up trains to cover up their actions, resulting in the deaths of thousands.

Now that you have the opportunity to directly eliminate the head of the Criminal Investigation Department's First Investigation Division, why not do it?

Moreover, this was done when the other party already knew about the Black Organization... and there was no benefit in letting him go. What exactly were those guys planning?

Although Conan was surprised, he did not hesitate too much in taking action.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and rushed to the spot where Matsumoto Kiyona was unconscious. With the help of the faint electric current from his sneakers, he displayed a speed that was completely unlike that of an ordinary elementary school student.

He quickly arrived beside Matsumoto Kiyonaga, squatted down, and looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

Just as Noah's Ark had predicted, the time bomb did not detonate.

However, just in case, Conan took out his special bomb disposal tools from his Robin belt and prepared to disarm the seemingly unactivated time bomb.

It's not that he's overly cautious, but rather that he has learned from past mistakes.

There was a mysterious dark-skinned man who was killed by a remote-controlled bomb disguised as a time bomb.

What if this bomb is also a remote-controlled bomb, or simply a time bomb that doesn't display the specific time on the dial? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

Just to be on the safe side, it's better to remove it first.

Conan quickly disarmed the time bomb that seemed to have been detonated.

Even after the demolition was finished, he was still not at ease, so he took out a scanning device from his Robin belt and quickly scanned the entire warehouse. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he feel relieved.

It seems he was indeed being paranoid.

The person who looked similar to him could be considered to have some conscience.

At least they didn't do anything awful.

After investigating potential safety hazards in the vicinity, Conan finally confirmed Matsumoto Kiyonaga's situation.

Drawing on the training he received from Chen En and his own experience of training in Hawaii with his father when he was a child, he quickly determined that Matsumoto Kiyonaga was currently only in a coma.

His heart rate and other conditions were quite stable, and he did not seem to be in danger.

In other words, Matsumoto Kiyonaga was simply knocked unconscious and left here.

Those people didn't torture Matsumoto Kiyonaga in any other way, nor did they inject him with any dangerous drugs that would kill him at any time...

"...In that case, let's wake him up first."

Conan stuffed all the instruments back into the hidden compartment of his Robin belt and muttered to himself.

Chapter 1302 Batman can appear anywhere in Tokyo

“Matsumoto Kiyonaga, open your eyes, I am Batman.”

A deep, hoarse voice rang in Matsumoto Kiyoshi's ears.

The officer in charge of the First Investigation Division subconsciously opened his eyes, only to be met with an unfamiliar ceiling and dusty warehouse furnishings. All he felt was a headache.

It was as if someone had hit him on the head with a club and knocked him unconscious.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga subconsciously held his forehead.

His previously fragmented memories slowly began to connect again, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

He remembered.

It wasn't like he'd been hit on the head by someone; he'd been hit on the head by someone else, and on his way back from a meeting at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department...

Who on earth would do such a thing?

Although Matsumoto Kiyonaga was not a high-ranking official or nobleman.

But he is, after all, a supervising officer of the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Whether it's kidnapping or revenge, the fact that they've targeted him, the superintendent of the First Investigative Division, is truly audacious. If something happens to him, wouldn't the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department launch a full-scale investigation?
