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

She was completely baffled by the identity of the new leader of the Tokyo Black Organization who had taken over Ireland's position, and had no clue what to think about, because she didn't know much about the elite members of the Black Organization.

The Black Organization clearly has many elite members and leaders, but they are scattered all over the world.

It's understandable that she, a former back-office technician specializing in scientific research within the Black Organization, wouldn't pay attention to or understand these matters, given that the organization has many elite soldiers comparable to those from Ireland.

However, it has now become a weakness in intelligence, giving one a sense of fate.

She simply said.

“I’m more interested in Pisco and Ireland than this.”

"Isn't Arkham Sanatorium a relatively recent opening?"

“Although Pisco’s current condition clearly makes it impossible for him to recover his health or commit further crimes, don’t you think it’s dangerous and troublesome to send him to Arkham Asylum?”

Ai Haibara's thoughts are mainly focused on Ireland and Pisco.

She asked, as worried as ever.

"Given the Black Organization's modus operandi, if they suspect anyone of potentially leaking the organization's secrets, they will not hesitate to eliminate them completely, let alone someone like Pisco."

"I think in the eyes of the higher-ups in the Black Organization, the only people who can keep secrets are the dead."

"Even a person in a vegetative state has the possibility of recovering, but they will not allow this tiny possibility to exist; they will nip it in the bud."

Although the buildings in the Arkham series were built with the sponsorship of the Suzuki Foundation, it has only been about two hundred chapters since then.

Can these functional buildings, which have not stood the test of time, really play the role Chen En predicted? Can they really stop the members of the Black Organization, preventing them from entering and preventing those inside from leaving?

In addition, Ai Haibara then asked.

"And Ireland..."

"Never mind, I won't ask about that."

She swallowed back the question she was about to ask.

"You must have some backup plan with Ireland, so that you can find him as soon as possible after he defaults and put him in jail. Making this decision shows that you know what you're doing."

"And your seven-day trip to Osaka and Kyoto prefectures is almost over..."

"If you come back, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

When this topic came up, Conan also turned his attention to Chen En.

Speaking of which, Chen En was indeed about to officially return from Kyoto Prefecture with Suzuki Sonoko.

Although the frequency and duration of Batman's appearances in Tokyo during this period could largely eliminate the possibility that Chen En and Batman are the same person, the possibility that those intelligence organizations still harbor suspicions cannot be ruled out.

In a sense, Chen En will have even more to do after returning to Tokyo from Kyoto Prefecture than he does now.

After all, there are plenty of people who want to investigate and spy on him.

"...Sonoko and I will return to Tokyo tomorrow."

Chen En didn't say anything else, he just said this.

"It just so happens that the head of the Yamato family is about to return to Tokyo with Yamato Nadeshiko, and the national kendo tournament that Onimaru Takeshi will be participating in will also be held in Tokyo soon."

"It's a good opportunity to handle all the various issues that have come together in Tokyo at once."

Many elements of the Dragon Ball universe do not exist in this world.

Although he rarely sought out Gosho Aoyama, the manga artist with the same name as him in the real world, Aoyama continued to produce Dragon Ball-related settings and artwork during the time he was away.

Although the artwork produced by the other party can never be exactly the same as the real-world Dragon Ball manga.

But since it's the author's character in their own work, given certain background information, deducing highly similar content shouldn't be too difficult...

Therefore, Chen En only needed to make a slight comparison with the drawing to reach this conclusion.

He sought out the Yamato Nadeshiko and her father to confirm the distribution map of the Japanese precious stones, planned the subsequent route to find Kyogoku Makoto and the Thunder God Sword, and then consulted Onimaru Takeshi to learn about the Wind God Sword.

The matter concerning the Nine Dragons Pearl can now be temporarily put to rest.

As for who exactly is the temporary leader of this black-clad organization...

It would be a pipe dream to determine the identity of the new person in charge by relying solely on conventional methods, but it would not be difficult to do so by utilizing the people Chen En knew.

For example, Hondo Eikai.

Although the other party was just a mascot and deputy in the Black Organization in the Tokyo area, he was still a deputy at least.

The new person in charge should at least put on a show of it.

Could it be that Hondo Eikai doesn't even know the name of this new person in charge?

Chapter 1307 A makeshift troupe

"...Oh, your trip really is only 7 days long?"

"I see you guys are pretty free most of the time. Why don't you spend a few more days relaxing in Kyoto Prefecture? Look at me, even though I'm a famous detective with countless cases waiting for me to solve, I'm having a great time right now!"

"You need to know how to distinguish between life and work. When it's time to live your life, live it to the fullest."

At the entrance of an inn in Kyoto Prefecture, Kogoro Mouri spoke casually.

"I only spent a day in Kyoto Prefecture, and I didn't get to see anything interesting!"

However, compared to Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri does understand this.

She said it somewhat apologetically.

"Then, Mr. Chen En, if you return to Tokyo, could you please check on Conan's situation for me?"

"Although I think Conan should be fine with other people helping to take care of him, I'm still a little worried about him since I haven't seen him for so long... Thank you for your help."

Chen En naturally did not intend to refuse.

After all, Conan was nominally staying at his manor, being looked after by the old butler.

Although the old butler is currently busy with underworld affairs and doesn't have much time to return to the manor each day, it wouldn't be difficult for him to go back and confirm with Ye Cai San and have Conan help him fabricate a situation to fool everyone.

After Chen En readily agreed, Ran Mouri reluctantly spoke to Sonoko Suzuki.

"Sonoko, be careful on the road."

"If we find anything interesting in Kyoto Prefecture, we'll fax it to you!"

Sonoko Suzuki smiled and nodded, about to readily agree, when she suddenly felt something was off.

Hmm? Send it to me by fax?

What era are we living in? Why are we still using fax machines?

She looked at Ran Mouri with a hint of helplessness, but still answered with great enthusiasm.

"Okay, okay, but Xiaolan, you need to learn to keep up with the times too."

"I'll have Arn send you a new model phone for internal testing then. Smart touchscreen phones are the future!"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji, who was seeing them off, poked his head out and chimed in.

"What do you mean by keeping up with the times? Fax is not something outdated."

"Many intelligence organizations use fax as a means of communication, don't they?"

Kazuha Toyama, who was following Hattori Heiji, asked a different question.

"But Heiji, you're not a member of any intelligence organization, how would you know these things?"

"Would your uncle really tell you something like that?"

In response, Heiji Hattori raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly.

"Is there even a need to think about this?"

“Fax, as a popular tool for transmitting text and images in the past, is a fairly reliable means of information transmission. Many countries have stipulated the legal rights of fax. Intelligence personnel use fax to transmit intelligence in order to ensure the legal interests of their intelligence.”

"If you, Kazuha, frequently follow news in this area, you must have seen many insiders revealing such things, right?"

Kazuha Toyama nodded as if he understood, but couldn't help asking again.

"If that's the case, then tell me about an intelligence organization that uses fax as a means of information transmission?"

Hattori Heiji blurted it out without thinking.

"For example, the FBI in the United States?"

"Kazuha, how come you don't even know this? I thought it was common knowledge."

Looking at her childhood sweetheart, it seemed like they were about to start bickering again.

Chen En shook his head, somewhat disapproving of Hattori Heiji's habitually playful personality.

It's not that he disliked Hattori Heiji's personality.

It's simply because... Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga are already watching from the sidelines.

Is it really a bad idea to keep trying to increase Ooka Momiji's affection level now?

As expected, Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji, who had just been bickering about this matter, simultaneously felt two unfriendly gazes. They then turned their heads stiffly and saw Ooka Momiji and Iori Muga standing next to them.

This young lady from the Ooka family was making quite a show of herself, with Iori Muga holding a parasol behind her and luxury cars following behind.

Compared to Sonoko Suzuki standing next to Chen En, they didn't even seem to be on the same level.

"...Hey, when did you get here?"

Hattori Heiji's voice faded into the distance.

Both the red leaves and the white leaves slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. Perhaps it was for the sake of tourism in Kyoto, or perhaps they were simply using Hattori Heiji as a prize for the competition...

Sonoko Suzuki could only sigh helplessly.

"They have a really good relationship."

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri: ?

What's so good about it?

Chen En didn't say anything more and turned to get into the car with Suzuki Sonoko.
