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

“Manager Matsumoto, even if you say that, it was many years ago when I worked for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.”

"This kind of disguise technique may be a new technology that has only emerged in the last ten years. It may have never appeared before, and I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyoshi was momentarily speechless.

Although everyone knows that Kuroda Hyoue definitely still has connections with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and that he is even currently holding a position there.

However, since there is no concrete evidence for these matters, no one can say for sure that Kuroda Hyoue was actually working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Getting Kuroda Hyōe to investigate this matter would be extremely difficult.

However, Kuroda Hyōe only knew part of the facts about this matter.

The things he said to Matsumoto Kiyonaga were not all lies he made up on the spot.

The Japanese Public Security Bureau is not the Ministry of Magic, and there's no such thing as every magician registering with the Japanese Public Security Bureau... That would be giving the Japanese Public Security Bureau too much credit.

Even the statistics on ordinary people are incomplete, let alone the magicians with all sorts of magical abilities.

"...In any case, let's focus on dealing with that missing member of the criminal organization first."

“We are under pressure from the outside world to tell us who the unidentified prisoner being transported in the convoy is.”

"Moreover, some people have speculated that the unidentified prisoner is very likely the car company chairman, Kenzo Yama, who was previously arrested inexplicably and has not been heard from since."

"Even if this is most likely a ploy by a criminal organization to put pressure on us, we still have to answer this question directly to the public..."

Instead of mediating the two managers' daily bickering, Toshiro Odagiri simply spoke seriously.

"Superintendent General Hakuba will contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department afterwards to make negotiations. You will also need to go with him, Chief Inspector Kuroda."

"We need to know at least the specifics of this incident, and what we can explain to the public later."

Upon hearing this, Kuroda Hyōe naturally had no choice but to nod.

He simply said.

"In that case, Minister Odagiri, may I make a phone call after the meeting?"

Odagiri Toshiro nodded slightly and said.

Please make yourself at home.

……

While Hakuba Saguru was at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Superintendent's office talking with Superintendent Hakuba about the Raven Society.

Heiji Kuroda, a double agent for both the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is also talking with an investigator from the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He knew very well that since Toshiro Odagiri had said he would take him to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for negotiations, he must want to use his double agent identity to provide some convenience.

In this kind of situation, we need to ask the investigator for his opinion first before deciding what to do and what to say.

However, at this moment, the Japanese Public Security Bureau's investigator was also somewhat agitated.

Although to outsiders, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and even most members and high-ranking officials of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, the Black Organization member codenamed Pisco had already escaped from the Japanese Public Security Bureau's pursuit range.

After being chased by Batman, he disappeared without a trace. His fate and exact location are unknown, and it is even possible that he has escaped.

But Investigator Li knew that Pisco hadn't escaped at all, because Batman had contacted him afterwards.

Batman intercepted Pisco.

Just in case anything goes wrong, after Pisk was intercepted and given emergency treatment, he was temporarily detained at Arkham Sanatorium.

Once this incident is completely over, Batman will send Pisco back to the Japanese Public Security Bureau, where he will be handed over to the Tokyo District Court for trial before being formally transferred into custody.

However, the investigators considered this action completely unnecessary.

One of the privileges of the Japanese Public Security Bureau is that it can violate the law and take action when necessary.

Arresting first and interrogating later, killing first and questioning later, none of that matters. Now that Pisco has been arrested, we'll just lock him up directly, without going through any procedures.

Besides, the mole within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department still hasn't been found. If the mole isn't found by the time this incident is resolved, wouldn't sending Pisco back mean he'd be discovered by the mole?

Thinking about this made Inspector Li even more agitated, but he couldn't say anything to Batman...

Of course, it's not necessarily hard to say.

His communication with Batman was entirely one-way; there was no way for him to communicate with Batman in return.

Unless he's willing to do what Gotham City's Chief Gordon did and install a Bat-shaped searchlight on the top floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

He could install one if it were useful, but I doubt Batman would be there instantly like in the comics, just by turning on the lights.

So after careful consideration, the investigator decided against this tempting decision, lest he be taken for a fool and then have an excuse to transfer him from the Public Security Planning Division.

Now, when Kuroda Hyōe called to inquire about what to say when the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department sent someone to ask about Pisco, Investigator Riku simply expressed some annoyance:

I will handle this matter later.

At that time, all you need to do is fulfill your duties as the superintendent of the Fourth Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and say what you are supposed to say.

After all, Kuroda Hyōe was a double agent between the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and a key link in their cooperation.

We can't make things difficult for Kuroda Hyoue no matter what.

Otherwise, wouldn't this person have gained free access to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for nothing?

It would be better to let him remain in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as he was before he fell into a coma, working as a director or logistics officer.

"Sigh, I wish that guy from the gold watch group had been discharged from the hospital by now."

The investigator couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As a member of the gold watch group, that person can be described as the most professional among professionals, excelling in both talent and action.

If he hadn't been sniped by someone before this operation, he wouldn't have ended up in the hospital for emergency treatment.

If we could participate fully in the entire operation, we would certainly be able to obtain many more clues than we have now.

He no longer needs to consider multiple aspects and can do everything by himself.

My dear, I miss you. Please come back.

……

What exactly does the investigator think of him?

The members of the gold watch group were completely unaware of this; they were simply lying in bed, feeling rather bored.

On the table next to it were the news articles from various newspapers that were being sold that day.

He actually had a habit of reading every newspaper he could buy every day. Ironically, it had to be said that sometimes the media's information gathering was indeed faster than the intelligence systems of these special agents.

However, this good habit was lost after I came to Tokyo.

It's not that the Japanese Public Security Bureau's information gathering channels and speed are faster than the media after he came to Tokyo; it's just that one thing after another happened in Tokyo, and he simply didn't have time to read the newspapers.

Now that he is hospitalized due to the severity of his injuries, he has found time to read these newspapers, which is quite ironic.

"...I really didn't expect it to have turned out this way. Is the newspaper saying that the Metropolitan Police Department is taking the blame for the National Police Agency again?"

The member of the gold watch group flipped through the newspaper and couldn't help but make a comment, while the Onmyoji next to him calmly replied.

"This matter is unremarkable and nothing to worry about. Rather, it's more accurate to say that, apart from those things that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department simply cannot avoid, all the other troubles fall on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's shoulders."

"If those media outlets had any sense at all, they wouldn't think that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was responsible for this kind of thing..."

"Moreover, based on my observations during my time in Tokyo, it seems that the traffic to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is greater than that to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

...Has the world suffered under the Japanese Public Security Bureau for too long?

The members of the gold watch group didn't know what to say for a moment; they couldn't very well accuse the other party of spreading rumors and making baseless accusations.

They were just repeating what the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had done.

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

As for how the mountains came to be, don't ask.

"...So do you have any Yin-Yang techniques that can speed up the healing of injuries? Hurry up and give me a set, I think it's about time I went back to work."

"My intuition tells me that it's almost time to close the net on that big fish inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..."

The member of the gold watch group narrowed his eyes slightly and said this.

Chapter 1314 Isn't this just sending her to her death?

"Is the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania going to visit Tokyo in the next few days?"

"Why did she have to choose this time to come to Tokyo? Couldn't she have gone at other times?"

When the Black Organization in Tokyo was embroiled in a power struggle between its two leaders.

The FBI, the intelligence organization from the United States, was not paying any attention to the Black Organization. They were currently busy with something else entirely: the Kingdom of Vesbania.

On a global scale, the Kingdom of Vesbania is not particularly prominent.

It is just one of the countless small countries in the European Union.

One more of her makes no difference, one less of her makes no difference either.

Logically speaking, even if something unexpected happens to the heirs of such a small country, the FBI should still go about its business as usual, pretending nothing happened. If the higher-ups want an investigation report, they can just make up one and submit it.

However, the Kingdom of Vesbania, a small European country, is not quite like that.

The kingdom has a small population and a weak economy, but it possesses a particularly extraordinary mineral resource.

That's Visbania ore.

This ore has the ability to instantly paralyze and short-circuit all electrical appliances connected to a circuit once it is connected, until the ore is removed again.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Vesbania has always been under blockade by various countries.

Even obtaining just a small piece of this ore could determine the outcome of a small-scale local war.

After all, compared to the two World Wars, modern warfare is more electronic and sophisticated, making minerals capable of instantly paralyzing all of the enemy's electronic equipment extremely important.

Such important mineral resources should not be allowed to fall into the hands of any single country.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Vesbania was also an innocent victim of this disaster.
