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

At the same time, he looked at the message that suddenly popped up on his phone with some surprise.

The information on the phone is simple and clear.

It's time to close the net.

The sender was Captain Kuvatrobagina, also known as Shuichi Akai.

The moment James saw the message, his eyes widened, because he knew what Shuichi Akai was talking about.

The one described by Shuichi Akai has intricate connections with the Black Organization.

Is Shuichi Akai about to uncover the mysterious criminal organization composed of high-ranking Japanese officials, nobles, and powerful figures?

James replied immediately.

If you need help, please contact us anytime. We'll be there whenever you need us.

Even after ending the call, James couldn't help but feel excited as he thought about it.

If such a criminal organization really existed, and it was the FBI who helped dismantle it.

So he might be able to advance further from the position of senior investigator, and could even help Akai return to the FBI.

This achievement even allowed Akai to become the head of the FBI's Tokyo branch.

He might even become a senior investigator.

From this perspective, the future looks bright!

……

After briefly explaining the current situation to James, Shuichi Akai closed his phone and put it back in his pocket.

He beat up his own sister last night, mistaking her for a member of the Black Organization.

After discussing the follow-up with Mary Akai, they successfully smoothed things over and then returned directly to the garrison base.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take advantage of his rare vacation time to explore Tokyo again; it was simply to further investigate the Shadow Cabinet.

It's not because I'm worried that Mary Akai will open the box and then have a physical confrontation with my own mother.

He hasn't reached the point of being so devoted to filial piety.

However, because of his early return, Shuichi Akai was able to seize the opportunity to learn about the Shadow Cabinet's impending actions.

As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.

This may also be a kind of cause-and-effect principle.

"...The Shadow Cabinet is about to launch another major operation. This is the best opportunity to wipe out the Shadow Cabinet in one fell swoop."

"Does Batman know that the Shadow Cabinet will be making its move in the next few days?"

Shuichi Akai pondered whether he should also inform Batman about the situation.

But after a moment's thought, he quickly abandoned the idea.

It wasn't because Shuichi Akai wanted to hide information about the Shadow Cabinet from Batman, but because he knew that Batman probably already knew before him.

There was no particular reason; it was simply because that person was Batman, and he could do it.

Just like the Gotham City supervillain said, Batman can do anything.

In Tokyo, people generally believe that anything Batman does is not surprising.

Shuichi Akai even considered asking Batman to help him smooth things over with his adoptive mother and younger sister.

In the end, I gave up.

Although he felt ashamed to say such a thing, Batman would most likely not agree to help with it.

Even superheroes don't do that.

He's Batman, not Spider-Man, and not some friendly neighbor.

How can they be responsible for family disputes?

……

Regarding the shadow cabinet.

Mary Akai and Masumi Sera were completely unaware of this matter, and did not even know that this thing existed.

Compared to the FBI and CIA, MI6's influence in the Tokyo district is much weaker.

His relationship with Batman is also much more distant.

Therefore, while the various factions that cooperated with Batman obtained relevant intelligence about the Shadow Cabinet, MI6 was completely unaware of it.

However, even if they knew about the existence of the Shadow Cabinet, they would most likely focus their attention entirely on the Tokyo branch of the Black Organization.

The most urgent task is to resolve the issue of MI6's branch of the Black Organization in the Tokyo area.

We can put aside things like the shadow cabinet for now.

They can't even solve Britain's own problems, how can they have time to help others solve Japan's shadow cabinet?

Sera Masumi was still complaining to Akai Mary about Shuichi Akai's physical altercation.

However, since it was already the next day, he naturally put the matter out of his mind.

Although it was a cheap older brother I hadn't seen in a long time, he was still an older brother, and at least he offered some compensation later.

Considering the gold coins he gave me, I'll let it go this time and argue with him next time.

The problem that Sera Masumi was talking about with Akai Mary this time was with Hondo Eisuke.

As everyone knows, Sera Masumi has always been the darling of the FBI.

The FBI agents had no idea of ​​Sera Masumi's true identity; they only thought she was Shuichi Akai's sister, so they took good care of her.

Therefore, Sera Masumi also paid close attention to the hero from the CIA, the FBI's archenemy.

And now...

"Hondo Eisuke has left."

Sera Masumi said this.

"Mom, do you think it's possible that Hondou Eisuke's older sister also left?"

"The CIA just happened to transfer a new senior investigator over..."

That's also possible.

Mary Akai nodded slightly.

She simply said,

"It's a good thing for us too, at least we don't have to worry about that kid getting in our way again."

"It will be easier for you to approach Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri later."

"As for meeting with Stout again, I'll have to leave that entirely to you. You need to remember the precautions I told you earlier."

"If something goes wrong again, it might not be so easy to solve then."

The mother and daughter had no idea that Hondo Eisuke's older sister, Hondo Emi, might be a codenamed member of the Black Organization.

What I never expected was that Sera Masumi's beating last night was inextricably linked to that senior CIA investigator.

Otherwise, things wouldn't be so calm right now.

Chapter 1388

"Shadow Cabinet?"

"I did hear you mention this organization before, but they seemed to have been quiet for a long time. Are they starting to make moves again now?"

Inside Chen En Manor.

Conan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"That sounds like a real hassle."

"Whether it's Pramia, Yael, or a mysterious organization."

“Each one is a top-tier problem.”

He couldn't help but sigh, recalling the theory that Uncle Mori had mentioned repeatedly before.

So, is Chen En really just unlucky?

Having been a famous detective in Tokyo for so many years, he had never encountered a situation where all sorts of incidents came at once like this.

It hasn't even been half a year yet, but we've already experienced almost ten Tokyo crises.

Chen En merely glanced at him.

"Didn't I say that didn't happen?"

"And if you're referring to what Kogoro Mouri said, didn't he call you a plague god back then?"

"Where is the logic in recognizing only half of a matter?"

Conan, who was about to say a few more sarcastic remarks, suddenly choked up when he heard this.

He coughed twice suddenly, and then said.

"This one……"

"One cannot generalize about the relationships between people."

Chen En has been in this world for several months now.

To put it simply, if we consider the longer term...

Two months?

Or close to three months.

The time system in this world is so chaotic that even he cannot accurately determine how much time has passed.
