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

However, upon hearing this, Gin merely chuckled and said...

"Vodka, what are you saying?"

"That idiot couldn't have taken the communication device beforehand. The device must still be in that building; you just haven't found it yet... Let's wait and see. He'll definitely show up eventually."

Chapter 1328

Inside the interrogation room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the results of the questioning came out quickly.

Most of these gang members are those who are not well-liked within their own organizations, have family members who are controlled by them, and are the type who are only used as scapegoats...

If it weren't for the fact that the person in charge of the interrogation was Kuroda Heiwa, who was originally from the Japanese Public Security Bureau and was an expert in the Great Memory Restoration Technique.

Others probably wouldn't even be able to get this much information out of them.

After all, these rookie officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division aren't actually very good at memory recovery techniques.

Sometimes, it still takes the veterans like them to do it themselves.

However, after receiving this interrogation result, Kuroda Hyōe frowned, because it seemed difficult for him to apply for an arrest warrant and a search warrant now, since he had obtained this interrogation result through torture using the Great Memory Restoration Technique.

There is no other empirical evidence.

It's unrealistic to think that you can just apply for two orders based on this alone, then go to the headquarters of these underworld organizations to find people, and casually invite the leaders or high-ranking members of those organizations over for tea.

After all, the leaders of these underworld organizations are quite influential figures in their respective territories.

If he were still with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, arresting him would be fine, but now that he's working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he has to be a little more mindful of the consequences. After all, while the Japanese Public Security Bureau may be shameless, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department still has its pride.

Chen En naturally heard all the results of Kuroda Hyōe's questioning.

He was now sitting inside the Batcave, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, using Noah's Ark and the eavesdropping devices he had previously placed to record the entire process of Kuroda Hyoue's memory restoration technique with those criminals.

The members of these organized crime groups who were arrested were all forced to come because their families were threatened or coerced into giving them leverage.

He had anticipated this.

Just as he said before, if gangsters dare to openly fight each other in broad daylight, they are disrespecting the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. In that case, it would be commonplace for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to use memory restoration techniques on them.

Unless they've lost their minds, they wouldn't dare do that.

Therefore, these underworld members who dare to engage in daytime shootouts with Raven Society branches either have a compelling reason to do so, or they've simply lost their minds...

It now appears to be the former.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is temporarily at a loss because it is unable to obtain both orders.

After a moment's thought, Kuroda Hyōe decided to apply for a search warrant, though he remained pessimistic about whether it would be able to find the person.

Those high-ranking members of organized crime groups actually dared to do something like kidnapping these people's families.

Without resorting to some kind of memory restoration technique, it's clear that the higher-ups in those underworld organizations wouldn't expose these people's families. After all, confessing means leniency and imprisonment, while resisting means severe punishment and going home for the New Year.

Even if it were only to avoid legal repercussions later, it would be impossible to hide someone in an easily accessible place.

That being said, what if those underworld leaders really have a brain fart and hide someone inside their own underworld headquarters? Anyway, applying for one and giving it a try won't hurt, and if you get one, you'll be lucky.

However, when Kuroda went to Superintendent General Hakuba to apply for a search warrant...

Chen En had already scheduled his evening visit to check the water meters of the high-ranking members and leaders of these underworld organizations, planning to have a good chat with them one by one.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department cares about its image; it doesn't need advanced memory recovery techniques.

I, Batman, never care about saving face.

From the moment he went directly to Moriya Teiji, Chen En realized something profound.

Sometimes, super intelligence does tell him to use super power.

According to his thinking, the old bat himself probably felt the same way.

If you can find someone who can use the Great Memory Restoration Technique, there will be absolutely no need for any roundabout methods. That would not be putting more stress on the criminals, but on yourself. Why bother?

Just as Chen En was sipping his coffee, pondering which underworld organization he should visit first that night to use the Great Memory Restoration Technique and Fear Gas to awaken their intelligence, Conan's figure quietly appeared beside him.

However, nothing the Blue Reaper Elementary School student did could escape Chen En's notice.

Chen En didn't even glance at Conan beside him before asking the question directly.

"What do you want from me now?"

Hearing this, Conan coughed twice and then asked seriously.

"Speaking of which, didn't you say you were going to find Koizumi Akako?"

"What did Koizumi Akako say about the props and such?"

This matter has indeed been put on the agenda.

Chen En turned his head to look at Conan, and then answered.

"I have already contacted Koizumi Akako when I had some free time."

"However, Koizumi Akako is currently performing some kind of magical ritual, so we'll have to deal with that later, probably within a day or two..."

"But I don't think you're here for this matter. If you have something to say, just say it."

Upon hearing this, the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student coughed twice and immediately spoke.

"When will Uncle and Xiaolan be back?"

"On the one hand, I feel that Tokyo has been quite turbulent lately, and there may be some big moves coming up. On the other hand... if they come back early, I can make some preparations to deal with it."

"For example, talking to Yuan Tai and the others in advance."

Upon hearing this, Chen En took a sip of coffee and then spoke directly.

"They will be back the day after tomorrow."

"But I told them to have another week to play outside, so you don't need to think about this for now. Just focus on doing what you want to do."

Conan looked up at Chen En in surprise.

"Let them play outside for another week?"

"Why? Do you think the situation in Tokyo has become so dire that sending Uncle Mori and Ran back to Tokyo would put their lives in danger?"

Hearing this, Chen En didn't say anything, but simply raised his head slightly, gesturing for Conan to look at another screen on the supercomputer.

Conan then looked up at another screen, on which Noah's Ark had previously displayed a news report about the Europa League's visit to Tokyo, Japan.

Conan glanced at the news headlines on the screen and then read them aloud, word by word.

"Sheir to the Kingdom of Vesbania, Princess of Vesbania."

"Mira Juliet, Tavis, Baland".

After reading it aloud, Conan scratched the back of his head and asked with some confusion.

What will happen when this princess visits Tokyo?

"Is it because the Black Organization is targeting this princess that they're increasing the frequency and intensity of their operations, and this is the reason they're doing this to avoid any problems?"

This time, Noah's Ark moved the news page down.

The photo of Princess Vesbania being interviewed by the media, which had been half-covered, came into Conan's view. Conan's eyes widened immediately, and he said in disbelief.

"No way, are you kidding me? Isn't that Xiaolan?"

Mira, Juliet, and Vespas, who appeared in Conan's field of vision, looked exactly like Ran Mouri.

If Conan hadn't clearly seen that this was a photo from the news and knew that Ran Mouri didn't actually have such a princess-like dress, he might have even suspected that Chen En was playing an April Fool's joke or had obtained fake news.

"...Is the reason for not letting Xiaolan return during this time period to avoid clashing with Princess Vesbania?"

Conan blinked, then muttered to himself.

"I really didn't expect Xiaolan to have such an average face."

"I thought there were only many people in the world who looked like me, but I didn't expect there were other people who looked just like Xiaolan."

As he pondered this to himself, he heard Noah's Ark continue speaking.

"In addition, we have determined that the FBI seems to have included Ms. Mori in their watchlist. If Ms. Mori were to return to Tokyo at that time, she might be used by the FBI as a stand-in for Mira Juliet Thavis Balland."

"Because we discovered that there was great turmoil within the Kingdom of Vesbania."

"The rebels of the Kingdom of Vesbania and the current regent seem to both intend to kill the princess, so there is a high probability that they will launch an assassination in Tokyo."

"Even if Ms. Mori returns to Tokyo, Ahn can ensure that she won't be replaced by the FBI, but there's no guarantee that she won't be mistaken for someone else and then assassinated as well."

As the saying goes, "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"Rather than taking such a risk, it would be better not to involve Ms. Mori in this matter in the first place."

Upon hearing Noah's Ark's words, Conan's expression became even more serious.

He truly had no idea that such a thing existed in the Kingdom of Vesbania.

Even if it was just because he looked exactly like Princess Ran Mouri of the Kingdom of Vesbania, he couldn't stand by and watch the princess of the Kingdom of Vesbania be assassinated by someone else in Tokyo.

However, he knew even better that Chen En would never allow such a heavyweight to be killed in the city he was protecting.

Now that this information has appeared on Noah's Ark's screen, Chen En must have already made preparations to deal with this matter. He just needs to follow the instructions.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He used to be the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the savior of the Japanese police.

A true intellectual.

Why does it feel like the longer you follow Chen En, the more he becomes like an emotionless soccer ball launcher? Is this how the other members of the Justice League feel when they see Batman?

With a powerful father, intelligence gathering, situation analysis, and planning can all be done perfectly.

So, simply abandoning thinking and handing it over to an external brain can solve all problems... It's hard to imagine that in a detective world that leans towards everyday life, there would be someone as supermodel as Batman.

However, at this moment, Conan remembered a potential safety hazard and frowned as he asked.

"By the way, what should we do with Curaçao?"

He never thought Curaçao was a trustworthy person.
