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

If we're talking about who within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has had the most contact with Batman and is most likely to be identified by him as the mole, then it would only be this undercover investigator from the Public Security Planning Division.

The fact that the person opposite can still stand here unharmed proves that he is not.

Although there have been previous instances where Ireland impersonated Matsumoto Kiyonaga and managed to fool Batman.

But the same trick won't work a second time on Batman. After successfully disguising himself in Ireland, Batman should conduct a second test on the investigator to confirm that he couldn't have been disguised or had an inside job.

Hakuba Tan simply asked.

"If that's the case, then what exactly is the deal with the second transport convoy that departed from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Why would they be attacked? It makes no sense. If there was no leak, could there be a mole among the Japanese Public Security personnel in charge of the second transfer operation?"

Obviously not.

After all, what mole would risk their own life?

The Japanese Public Security officers in charge of that transfer operation were all elite members of the Public Security Planning Section, people that the Investigator could absolutely trust. If we could get such people to work alongside the Investigator...

Wouldn't it be too wasteful to treat them as disposable items?

The investigator shook his head slightly, but before he could explain, he did not.

The Onmyoji's voice came from the other end of the passage.

"The answer is magic."

"Although magic is not on the same level as technology in terms of pure destructive power, nor can it compare to it in terms of killing efficiency, it is much more convenient than technology in other aspects."

"And at that time, the undercover agent who disguised himself as a high-ranking official in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department happened to be in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, didn't he?"

"If he has noticed the second wave of teams dispatched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and he happens to have manpower available to intercept them, it is not impossible."

"If I remember correctly, that underworld organization called the Raven Society is larger than any other underworld organization, isn't it?"

Ashiya and the members of the Gold Watch Group came out from the logistics department.

The appearance of this professional put the investigators at ease a little.

After Abe no Seimei's descendants had already left this country.

Originally, Ashiya Dōman, a folk Onmyōji (yin-yang master) who had always opposed the official forces of Abe no Seimei, was a descendant of the Onmyōryō and became its legitimate successor.

The Onmyoji standing before me is the successor of the Onmyo-ryo (Yin-Yang Bureau).

He may not be very experienced, but in terms of strength alone, he is definitely one of the top people in the mystical world. With him involved, this incident should not be resolved.

However, before the investigator could even open the champagne, the Onmyoji spoke bluntly.

"We can talk about the other things later. Let's talk about this mask first."

He held a black skull mask in his hand and spoke earnestly.

"Your Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department should have already had these black masks tested and confirmed that they no longer have the same effect as before... The reason for this is that the nature of these masks has changed."

These words immediately caught the attention of Hakuba Saguru and Investigator Satoshi.

What do you mean by the nature of these masks changing?

These masks have been stored in the logistics department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department from beginning to end. They have never been taken out or touched by anyone. How could their nature have changed?

Although they had doubts, they did not ask.

After all, the mystical aspects of life are beyond the understanding of laymen like them.

Onmyoji Ashiya then continued.

"The reason why you use these masks is only to allow communication between different masks is because..."

"The current Black Mask only has one main mask and one secondary mask that can perform the same function as before, which means that only one corpse can be controlled by the mask at any given time."

If a main face and a secondary face can work together, shouldn't it be two corpses?

Hakuba Tanji mentioned before that the main mask can also be placed on a corpse, allowing the corpse to be resurrected in some form based on the original wearer's personality.

Or is it that this effect cannot be achieved from the surface?

White Horse posed his question, and the Onmyoji readily provided an answer.

“I did say that before.”

"But as I mentioned before, the personality remaining in the deceased cannot fight against the personality of a living person, so the deceased cannot possess a living person."

"In other words, the previous method of having others put on black masks and then assimilate their personalities is no longer working. They can only use their own personalities to manipulate the users of the masks."

"The users of this product are limited to corpses, and corpses themselves have no personal identity."

"Therefore, the user of the main face projects their own personality onto the corpse wearing the secondary face, and the corpse of the main face they are using will lose control. That is why I said that only one corpse can be manipulated at a time."

"And this also affects the other secondary aspects that were originally derived from the primary aspect."

"This caused the Black Mask to become a mysterious tool that could only be used by the dead. As a result, other people using the Black Mask could only achieve telepathic communication within a certain distance and could not do anything else."

However, after explaining the changes in the nature of the black mask, the Onmyoji said with some worry.

"Although I think we can use Yin-Yang techniques to track the location of the main mask."

"But I'm not very familiar with magical techniques. The holder of the main mask seems to have magical means as a barrier, so much so that I can't even complete the most basic lock."

"If only there were another master magician who could cooperate."

"However, I think there aren't many great magicians in Tokyo's mystical world who can achieve this level of skill..."

That's hard to say.

If you ask me about other things, I might say no, but if you're talking about the Great Magician...

Hakuba Saguru happens to know one of them.

That was Lorenzo, North America's number one exorcist, who came from North America.

Putting aside everything else, just in terms of magical skills alone, this person is absolutely outstanding.

He could be considered a great magician.

And they're very easy to talk to; they'll do anything for money.

He might be able to call Lorenzo over to help.

In that case...

Chapter 1326

Ireland was completely unaware of the progress made by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

After discussing the events of the previous night with Shiro, he decided to focus on dealing with Gin and reclaiming the position of the Black Organization's leader in the Tokyo area.

Compared to the successor of Takeo Miura who is now hidden in the shadows and cannot be found at all.

Gin is clearly a more difficult opponent, and one that must be dealt with first.

“I checked the internal surveillance records of the various temporary local headquarters that were set up earlier, and I did find information about the movement of organization members. However, this is not enough to track down Gin.”

"Based on the descriptions from the peripheral members I apprehended."

"Gin seems to have some concerns about Batman's existence, so he set up multiple temporary contact points in Tokyo to contact other peripheral members without informing them of the location of the temporary headquarters."

"It's obviously unlikely that we can determine Gin's location by relying on outsiders."

"If we want to find Gin by capturing his tongue, we need to find someone of importance..."

Before Ireland could finish speaking, Death God raised his head and asked directly.

"Whether it's vodka, Chianti, or Cohen."

"These people are Gin's confidants, and they basically act in concert with Gin. It's very difficult to find their location, so it seems that the only member of Gin's group we can contact is Gil."

"You mean we should go and grab Kiel right now and question him?"

Ireland paused for a moment before speaking.

"If I didn't know about the new information coming back from Batman, I would definitely have made that suggestion."

"Because Batman had already found Gil beforehand and confirmed with Gil that even though she has now joined Gin's side, she still hasn't found the location of the temporary headquarters in the Tokyo area."

"Trying to find Gin through Kiel is going to be extremely difficult."

"Instead of relying on Kiel, you might as well say that we find Curaçao, then return Curaçao to Rum, and then let Rum help us turn the tables and take down Gin."

...Is Kiel's status really that low?

After hearing this, Death God also fell silent.

He truly hadn't expected that Kir, as a codenamed member of the Black Organization, the nominal deputy in Tokyo, and a senior member of the Gin Group, would have such a lowly position, not even knowing where the temporary local headquarters was.

Although they didn't tell Giles where their regional headquarters in the Tokyo area was located...

But can these be the same?

They've only known Gil for less than a month, while Gin and Gil have known each other for years. How come their relationship seems worse than theirs with Gil?

"...So, let's contact Rum Bar directly."

"Just as you mentioned before, the relationship between rum and that person has long since reached a freezing point, and they could break off relations and become adversaries at any time."

"As Gin is that lord's capable henchman, if we can get rid of Gin, it will also help Rum's power development. There's no reason for Rum not to help us get rid of Gin."

"The most urgent task right now seems to be to retrieve the special equipment that communicates with rum."

Death God rubbed his forehead and finally spoke.

After Batman demonstrated his remarkable electronic skills.

Both the Black Organization and the Shadow Cabinet have raised their level of vigilance towards Batman several orders of magnitude, and even simple information exchanges that were originally just conducted by phone have had to be upgraded.

Therefore, although Ireland has some connection with rum, it is based on the special equipment sent by rum producers.

Now that the position of the Black Organization's Tokyo regional head has changed hands, that special device has naturally fallen into Gin's hands as well, and it will be quite difficult to get it back.

After all, they don't even know where Gin's headquarters are located.

Ireland also strongly agrees with this.
