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

Normally, this situation of not allowing her to participate in actions would also prevent her from rising in status.

And in fact...

Chen En is now somewhat suspicious.

If he waits until he returns to Tokyo and finds out and eliminates the new leader of this black-clad organization in the Tokyo area...

Could Hondo Emi be inexplicably promoted to head of the Tokyo region by Karasuma Renya or Rum without having done anything at all?

If that's really the case, then Hondo Emi will probably be the only one in this book who wins by doing nothing.

"...As expected, neither the FBI nor the CIA, none of these intelligence organizations of the United States are effective."

Chen En thought to himself, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

He shouldn't have expected Hondou Eikai to get any information about the new leader of the Black Organization in Tokyo. That guy couldn't even get intelligence about Ireland, let alone the new leader.

Let's go back to Tokyo and wait for news from Ireland.

He is, after all, the former head of the Tokyo region, and still controls the Raven Society's influence.

As a local strongman, even if Ireland isn't as capable as the new person in charge, he should still be able to gather some intelligence, right? He's definitely much better than Hondo Eikai, that mascot.

"Oh dear, we're almost in Tokyo."

"Ah-en, will you be greeted by a lot of people when you get to Tokyo?"

Sitting next to Chen En, Suzuki Sonoko braced her hands against the window, watching the scenery rushing past outside. Then she couldn't help but turn back to Chen En and ask him curiously.

"After all, the smartphones you made before were quite famous."

Such a thing is beyond my wildest imagination.

Chen En took a sip of coffee and said calmly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it probably will."

"However, my uncle has already arranged for people to wait for us at the station. We can just get off the train and travel normally... I heard that my uncle also said that he would use that train for future long-distance trips."

"Using the Suzuki Express would be too ostentatious, wouldn't it?"

As a behemoth in the Kanto region, the Suzuki Group's assets and strength are naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For example, the Suzuki Foundation owns the Suzuki Express, a private train exclusively for the Suzuki Foundation.

Jirokichi Suzuki's idea was to make the Suzuki Express a dedicated train for Chen En and Sonoko Suzuki when they went on long trips, and to integrate it into the regular train system for use.

Such a thing is naturally impossible under normal circumstances.

However, this is a novel, and the word "impossible" doesn't apply to novels.

Sonoko Suzuki nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, it would be too ostentatious to travel alone on the Suzuki Express."

"It's almost like..."

She paused when she spoke of herself.

However, as a couple, Chen En naturally knew who Suzuki Sonoko was referring to.

As far as he knew, the last person to use a train as a means of commuting was someone who was as radiant as the sun.

This topic wasn't discussed much.

The train soon pulled into the station.

Reporters from various television stations and media outlets aimed their cameras and microphones at the station gates, while the passengers on the train, unaware of who this scene was intended for, disembarked somewhat nervously from their respective doors.

Sonoko Suzuki and Chen En were the last to get off the train with their luggage.

He was immediately greeted by a large number of reporters lining the street.

However, just as Chen En had said to Suzuki Sonoko at the train station earlier.

Jirokichi Suzuki had already arranged for people to be stationed here.

The moment Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko got out of the car, the people arranged by the Suzuki Group immediately kept the reporters from the media aside and protected Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko as they got into the car and moved towards the Suzuki Group's headquarters.

Of course, Suzuki Jirokichi knew that Chen En did not need these people to protect him.

His purpose in doing this was to make others feel that Chen En was under protection.

After all, Chen En's identity and Batman's identity are actually separate.

Although Chen En has mentioned in various news reports that he has excellent fighting skills, it is best not to present these Batman-like characteristics to the media after Chen En has become famous, unless necessary.

The purpose of taking Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko directly to the Suzuki Group headquarters was quite simple.

Previously, Suzuki Jirokichi had mentioned that the head of the Yamato family, Yamato Nadeshiko, would arrive in Tokyo soon.

Right now, the Yamato Nadeshiko is visiting the Suzuki Foundation headquarters.

Before returning to Tokyo to serve as an advisor to the Suzuki Foundation, Jirokichi Suzuki was a world-renowned explorer, and thus had a close relationship with the head of the family. At this moment, he had come to visit his old friend.

He was also there to meet Chen En at the invitation of Suzuki Jirokichi.

After all, Chen En had previously mentioned that he wanted to confirm the distribution map of Japanese gems with this family head.

Sonoko Suzuki also had some expectations for this.

She naturally knew that those so-called Japanese jewels were extraordinary jewels possessing incredible power.

However, none of those extraordinary jade pieces have been found to this day.

Either there's something wrong with that map showing the distribution of Japanese gemstones.

Or perhaps these precious jades have already been taken away by someone beforehand.

The person most likely to take these precious stones ahead of time is, without a doubt, the head of the Yamato family who possesses the map of the distribution of precious stones in Japan, or his daughter, the Yamato Nadeshiko.

Perhaps this meeting with the head of the Yamato family will give me the opportunity to see those Japanese precious stones.

However, when the two met the head of the Yamato family in the reception room, things did not go as planned.

The other party seemed somewhat confused, then gave a clear answer.

"A map showing the distribution of Japanese precious stones? Although I do have one in my family's warehouse..."

"However, I have never searched for those precious jades."

Please take one day off.

My condition is terrible, sigh.

"What? You really didn't go looking for those precious jades?"

Sonoko Suzuki gasped in surprise.

It looks absolutely unbelievable.

How can there be people in the world who have obtained the location of a precious jade that can grant extraordinary power, but do nothing and just let it rot at home?

Don't they have any curiosity at all? Where is the spirit of explorer?

Mr. Yamato, a world-renowned explorer, reiterated his affirmative answer.

"...Don't look at me like that, I really didn't go looking for those so-called precious jades."

"On the one hand, it's because I have absolutely no interest in these precious jades that possess some kind of power, and on the other hand, it's because those places are very dangerous, and I might encounter something terrible."

Upon hearing this, Jirokichi Suzuki chimed in.

"Yes, to be honest, it is indeed very dangerous."

“Didn’t Arn say earlier that she was going to find the exact location of those precious stones? I sent people over to help, and after checking those drastically changed maps, we determined that some of the addresses on the precious stone distribution map no longer exist.”

"Either there has been a major geological change."

The Suzuki Group advisor stroked his chin as he spoke.

"If I hadn't been so skeptical, I would have gone to investigate in person."

"I can't believe that one of the precious jades is located inside an active volcano on the jade distribution map. This is absolutely suspicious no matter how you look at it."

"Who could possibly hide a precious jade inside an active volcano?"

Jirokichi Suzuki's words elicited a long "oh" from Sonoko Suzuki.

So that's how it is. No wonder.

Although I don't really understand what these so-called supernatural powers are all about.

But when it comes to active volcanoes, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the kind of active volcano in Lord of the Rings, right?

Throwing these supposedly powerful gems in is like throwing the One Ring into an active volcano and destroying them—either they'd be burned out, or the map would be out of sync with the real world.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for someone to be so imaginative as to hide something in here.

Although the others present all thought it was impossible for an extraordinary gem to exist in an active volcano, and that there must be a problem with the geological changes or the gem distribution map, Chen En did not think so.

He felt that Gosho Aoyama probably wouldn't consider such a thing.

Since there is a map showing the distribution of Japanese gems, it should be provided to the main characters as a compass to find those extraordinary gems. The possibility that the map is wrong is no less than the possibility that Kogoro Mori is actually Renya Karasuma.

At least back then, Kogoro Mouri had a genius who could come up with the theory that Karasuma Renya was a fake medicine.

If we were to say which of the seven precious gems on this distribution map is most likely still in its original place and hasn't been taken by anyone else, it would definitely be the so-called Fire God Pearl in the volcano.

Although Chen En, who possessed the Yellow Lantern Ring, could ignore the damage from the molten lava and enter to retrieve the Fire God Orb.

However, for ordinary people with extraordinary powers, it is almost impossible to enter the volcano and retrieve the Fire God Pearl. For the original owner of the Fire God Pearl who had fire resistance, it was even more difficult.

The lava posed no threat to him either, making it the least risky hiding place.
