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

She and Nakamori Ginzo had been married for many years, so they naturally knew each other's personalities very well. Although Kusakabe Makoto told Inspector Nakamori not to mention it to anyone else after informing him of the matter.

However, if Inspector Nakamori could really refrain from telling others, he wouldn't be Inspector Nakamori.

In this way, she owed Makoto Kusakabe a favor.

However, Makoto Kusakabe was well aware of this.

Although he was a top prosecutor in the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office's Public Security Department.

He has hardly been involved in handling cases in the Criminal Investigation Department, so he doesn't know much about what happens there, but Inspector Nakamori is an exception.

Inspector Nakamori, as a police officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is a true star officer.

Every now and then, he would appear on television programs because of news reports about the capture of Phantom Thief Kid. For someone as perceptive as Makoto Kusakabe, he could get a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on just by looking at the other person's expression during television interviews.

He was not good at pretending; he could be described as careless and sloppy.

Since that inspector knows about such a secret, he will definitely leak it to others.

However, what Makoto Kusakabe didn't tell Aoko Nakamori was...

Even if he didn't tell Nakamori Aoko or have her relay the information to Nakamori Ginzo, Nakamori Ginzo would soon find out that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department would be reassigned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

After all, the current superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division was originally a director of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

As a double agent for both the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, if there were any important matters on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's side, he would most likely contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department first.

Although Ginzo Nakamori did not hold a very high position within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

But as a star police officer, he would inevitably get some hints from his superiors... This favor was something he gained for free.

Even if it wasn't revealed, it wouldn't be a loss.

After all, Makoto Kusakabe's position as the Ministry of Public Security's top prosecutor wouldn't be easily shaken; he was trusted by the public and was the "face" of the Ministry of Public Security.

"Shadow Cabinet".

After the other prosecutors left their offices, Makoto Kusakabe's gaze fell on the computer files in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he murmured to himself, marveling at the power of the Shadow Cabinet.

He has essentially finalized the members of the shadow cabinet.

If he went door-to-door according to the list he had drawn up, he might arrest everyone and there would be innocent people among them, but if he released them one by one, there would definitely be people he missed...

If it weren't for Makoto Kusakabe's particular obsession with bringing them to justice.

If this list were given directly to Batman, he might be able to resolve everything in one night.

After all, Batman's efficiency is undeniable, and once he locks onto a target, he will not hesitate to go all out, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, and if he kills the wrong person, he will provide full treatment and compensation as an apology."

Batman, backed by the Suzuki Group, could definitely do it.

Makoto Kusakabe investigated the names on the list of shadow cabinet members.

It was discovered that almost all of these people had been to the place known as the American Island.

American Island is the location of the famous Mermaid Festival, and most of the high-ranking officials on that list are members of the Shadow Cabinet, although many have retired due to the passage of time.

Otherwise, the influence of the shadow cabinet wouldn't be as easy to investigate as it is now.

If he, a prosecutor in the Ministry of Public Security, were to face the Shadow Cabinet at its peak, he would probably be caught very quickly and then concoct some kind of suicide plot involving being shot seven times in the back.

They didn't even need to take action themselves; they only needed to put pressure on the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

The Japanese Public Security Bureau naturally knows what to do, after all, it is an out-and-out intelligence organization, capable of using anything. In the end, only a minority of Japanese Public Security Bureau officers have a conscience.

However, just as Makoto Kusakabe finished packing his things and left the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office...

He noticed something amiss, narrowed his eyes slightly, and noted it down, deciding to investigate it later to see what was going on.

……

Makoto Kusakabe's investigation into the Shadow Cabinet's activities is relatively covert.

However, not all members of the Shadow Cabinet were fools. One or two of them noticed Kusakabe Makoto's somewhat unusual change in attitude and began to suspect that he might be investigating something.

The existence of the shadow cabinet must not be known to outsiders.

Just like the shadow cabinet member who was previously inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, when he discovered that Furuya Rei was investigating the internal affairs of the Japanese Public Security Bureau and might find out about him as a shadow cabinet member, he immediately transferred him to another city.

The Shadow Cabinet noticed that several of Makoto Kusakabe's members were also considering whether to find an opportunity to transfer him away.

After all, the power of the shadow cabinet is not what it used to be.

If a prosecutor like Makoto Kusakabe, who is a face of Tokyo's judicial system, were to be killed directly, it might be difficult to quell public opinion, and Batman might even track him down.

They didn't think their methods could fool the Dark Knight of Tokyo.

Especially given that guy is highly likely to have a deep partnership with the Suzuki Group and can probably leverage the Suzuki Group's information network... doing so while Batman is focusing his attention on Tokyo is too risky.

Therefore, the best solution is to simply transfer Makoto Kusakabe away.

As for how to transfer Makoto Kusakabe at this crucial juncture without being discovered, it's not actually difficult. Kusakabe had already been transferred out of Tokyo once before.

Because at that time, Kusakabe had sent an entire yakuza group to prison.

Some members of yakuza groups who were released early showed signs of retaliating against Makoto Kusakabe, so in order to ensure Makoto's safety, he was temporarily transferred away from Tokyo.

They don't need to release some gang members early; they just need to bribe a few people.

They created the illusion that Makoto Kusakabe's life was in danger.

This is a good opportunity to send Makoto Kusakabe out of Tokyo.

However, to achieve this and ensure complete secrecy, they would need to hold an internal meeting, but it seems unlikely that Batman is powerful enough to eavesdrop on such meetings.

Therefore, internal meetings should be held sooner rather than later.

Next week.

Chapter 1316 Unpredictable Logic of Action

For Ireland, the current situation is very clear.

In general, it can be summarized in four words.

That means a quick and decisive victory.

The Raven Society is a criminal organization he built from scratch. Although it is in a superior-subordinate relationship with the Black Organization, it is not entirely under the control of the Black Organization. Even if the person in charge in the middle changes, it still has to go through him first.

Even so, the Raven Society still has a fatal flaw.

Why is the Raven Society so powerful and has such a large number of members?

Is it because of his outstanding Irish charisma that so many people flock to him? Are you kidding me? Few members of these underworld organizations are truly loyal.

The key lies in the resource support from the Black Organization.

Ireland was previously the head of the Black Organization in Tokyo.

He can mobilize all the Black Organization's influence and resources in Tokyo to ensure that his Ravens can execute his orders at the fastest speed, in their full glory, and without any worries.

However, control of the Black Organization in the Tokyo area has now changed hands.

It is highly unlikely that the new head of the Tokyo Black Organization would provide resources to the Ravens.

Furthermore, since Ireland had not handed over any information about the Raven Society to him, and Death God had been by his side the whole time, the new leader couldn't find anyone to provide resources to the Raven Society even if he wanted to.

Therefore, the Raven Society's resource supply has actually been completely cut off since yesterday.

He had to eliminate the new leader as quickly as possible and take back control of the Black Organization in Tokyo, otherwise he might not be able to complete his revenge.

The Raven Society would either mutini or disband.

This timeline could even be fast-forwarded to within three days... because when Ireland still controlled the Black Organization's resources in Tokyo, the allocation of various resources was never delayed or hesitant.

The fact that it's now being postponed for three days is enough to raise suspicions.

If Ireland hadn't built up its prestige during this period, it probably wouldn't have lasted even three days; the massive Ravens' Society would have simply scattered and disintegrated.

"The most urgent task right now is to determine who that guy is."

"While there are indeed quite a few Black Organization codenamed members worldwide who could replace me, within Japan, and those considered capable of taking my place..."

"There are probably only a handful left."

Inside a hotel, Ireland looked out at the Tokyo cityscape through the floor-to-ceiling windows and muttered to himself.

However, he wasn't talking to himself.

Although from the window it seemed that he was the only one in the room, in reality, Death God had been staying in the shadows, quietly waiting for Ireland to ask what he wanted to know.

The former head of the Tokyo-based black-clad organization turned to look at Shirajin and said in a low voice.

"Do you think it's possible that Rum came in person?"

rum.

The second-in-command of the Black Organization, and the chief steward of the Karasuma family.

As a true veteran of the Black Organization, Rum clearly possesses the ability to instantly take over the Tokyo Black Organization, both in terms of strength and influence...

Ireland has no intention of getting involved with rum.

On the one hand, rum is far more powerful than it, and on the other hand, rum has done him a favor, so he is unwilling to fight rum because of it.

Although he promised to help Batman find the group of people who were suspected to be the successors of Takeo Miura.

However, if he cannot mobilize the Raven Society or the Tokyo Black Organization, he would rather investigate alone than go against Rum.

However, as soon as he said this, Death God immediately retorted.

"It's obvious that this is impossible just by thinking about it."

"As the saying goes, a person of noble birth should not sit in a humble abode. No matter how bold Rum is, it is impossible for him to rashly come to Tokyo to do such a thing when Batman is very likely to be based there permanently."

"None of the organization's past leaders in the Tokyo area have gotten away with anything good from Batman."

"Even you are the same."

Death God then spoke.

If I had to guess who it might be, then I think that person might be...
