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

The magician only needed to tell Ye Cai San how to dispel the magic; there was no need to tell him how to break it.

"...How did you manage to do that last time?"

Ai Haibara then asked.

"Those people Black Mask manipulated last time also used this kind of magic, but he still managed to find them in the end, didn't he?"

"Can't we replicate the method from last time?"

However, at this point, Conan rubbed his forehead and said somewhat irritably,

"According to the internal records of Noah's Ark, it should have been done by magical means."

"Koizumi Akako used divination magic to forcibly lock onto the unit that had used this magic that could make its presence less noticeable, and then traced it back."

"But we can't do it."

"Unless we immediately use the amulet that Chen En gave us to make a pact with the demons of hell, we cannot use the power of magic."

"Moreover, even if I were willing to sign a contract now to acquire magic power, it would be impossible to increase my magic to the point where I could deal with this level of weak magic in a short period of time."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Ai Haibara said something directly.

"In that case, let's contact Koizumi Akako."

"Although Kaito Kid has already left Tokyo at this point in time, Koizumi Akako has not. She should know a way."

However, Ai Haibara had just proposed this idea.

Noah's Ark has already provided a response.

"No, it's impossible."

What do you mean?

Communication with Koizumi Akako has been cut off, making it impossible to contact her.

Or has something happened to Akako Koizumi as well?

The incident involving Ai Haibara, Conan, and Ye Cai San immediately focused on the Noah's Ark screen, after which the Noah's Ark directly responded.

"In the immediate aftermath of the explosion, and realizing that it was likely a magical method similar to the one used last time, which could make one's presence less noticeable and thus escape from the surveillance system."

“Arn contacted Koizumi Akako immediately, but Koizumi Akako said that it would take her a long time to crack the code.”

why?

Could it be that this is not the same type of magic that Koizumi Akako dealt with last time?

Why not just do it the same way?

Conan was puzzled and immediately asked, but Noah's Ark answered directly.

"They are not the same."

"According to Koizumi Akako's answer to Arn, the magic that makes one's presence faint this time should be a composite magic made up of multiple magics."

"In terms of both complexity and difficulty of tracing, it far surpasses the last time that was a faintly perceptible spell used by a single mage."

Even as one of the witches.

"Koizumi Akako's magic power and magical skills far exceed those of ordinary people, but it will take some time to study and decipher how she can deal with multiple magicians casting spells at the same time."

Is there really no other way?

Conan frowned.

He knew very little about magic or similar methods, but he was well aware that if explosives were used…

It's impossible for it to happen without any warning.

Even if Pramia were able to smuggle the bombs through customs and into Tokyo, she couldn't possibly conjure up such a large number of liquid bombs out of thin air; many of them must have been purchased locally.

The only problem now is that he has no idea what the internal structure and materials of this liquid bomb are.

Even if Conan wanted to start from this point.

He planned to determine Pramia's disguised identity and modus operandi by identifying who purchased the materials for the liquid bombs.

This is completely impossible.

"We need at least one sample of a liquid bomb, but we haven't received any liquid bombs at all."

Ai Haibara added from the side.

Even the world's top scientists and chemists would not be able to deduce the principle from something that has no physical form, or even no theory, and they only know what it looks like.

Moreover, this is in the world of "Detective Conan".

Almost all the scientists in the Detective Conan universe possess their own bizarre and outlandish technologies that are almost incomprehensible to outsiders.

APTX-4869, which can even make Ai Haibara and Conan young again and shrink, is one of the components of Noah's Ark right in front of them.

"In any case, we need to get Professor Agasa to come over. Besides that..."

"Perhaps we can use a wide-net approach."

Conan said this.

He had his reasons for saying that. Since it was currently impossible to determine the location of the liquid bomb through the monitoring system...

Therefore, the only option is to conduct the search through coercive means.

The Bat Cave stores and mass-produces a large number of mechanical beasts, which are meant to be put to use at this time, aren't they?

Moreover, the smartphones and computers previously sold by Chen En Group actually had dedicated monitoring systems installed inside.

Noah's Ark could remotely initiate the monitoring processes of those smartphones.

We directly observe, in a physical way, whether there are objects around all users who have purchased smartphones that match the characteristics of a two-color liquid.

In this way, it might come in handy.

But at that moment, Ye Caisan suddenly spoke.

"However, since neither magic nor scientific methods can determine the location of the bombs' explosions in the first instance."

"How exactly does Young Master Chen manage to arrive at the scene precisely just before the liquid bomb is about to explode, and deliver it to the place with the least risk?"

Ye Caisan's voice suddenly caught the attention of Ai Haibara and Conan.

We all overlooked this point if you hadn't mentioned it.

Previously, everyone thought that Chen En, as Batman, was completely omnipotent.

No matter what Chen En did or what shocking things he did, they all considered it normal. But now they had to think about why Chen En was able to do it.

If they can replicate the method Chen En used to find those bombs, then they might also be able to find the finished product of liquid bombs.

This led to the analysis and reverse engineering of the liquid bomb's composition, ultimately determining where the liquid bomb's materials were sold and who was purchasing them.

Conan looked up at Noah's Ark and said.

"Noah's Ark, can you contact Chen En now?"

Upon hearing this, Noah's Ark remained silent for a moment, and then responded.

"no problem."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what happened next surprised him greatly, for no other reason than that.

Chen En on the other end of the communication didn't say anything; Conan only saw Chen En mouthing something on the other end of the communication network.

This situation surprised Conan.

What's going on? Why is he just mouthing the words instead of actually speaking? Is Chen En unable to speak right now?

Although Chen En sometimes likes to keep things mysterious or create suspense, he would never do it in this situation...

Fortunately, Conan, as a high school detective, is knowledgeable and experienced. He had also learned lip-reading skills from his father in Hawaii.

Therefore, when Chen En started lip-reading instead of actually speaking, he began to record what kind of lip-reading Chen En was making, in order to determine what Chen En actually wanted to say.

Conan repeated Chen En's words in a low voice as he recalled them.

"I can't speak?"

"The reason I was able to predict where the next bomb would explode is because I used some kind of special magical item that allowed me to gain superhuman intuition in exchange for the inability to speak."

"Because I don't want the bomb to explode, when I use this ability at the same time and look at the map of Tokyo, there will be a certain place on the map that makes me feel that something is about to happen, so I rush there to defuse the bomb as soon as possible."

Is it a magical item?

Upon hearing this, Conan and Ai Haibara, who had initially thought they could help Chen En in this way, were speechless.

They suddenly remembered that Chen En seemed to have suddenly taken out a ring and put it on his hand one day.

At the time, they all thought it was just a fashionable little toy that Chen En had gotten from somewhere, or a token that marked the beginning of his relationship with Suzuki Sonoko.

Now it seems that thing is probably the magical item Chen En is talking about.

Chen En's ability to find Curaçao, which defied common sense, was probably a result of using this magical item.

"...In that case, is it possible to spread mechanical beasts and drones all over the city, and then rush there the moment Chen En triggers the effect of the magic item?"

"So that the drone arrives at the scene before the bomb explodes, and can then recover the bomb in this way?"

Conan asked this question.

Chen En on the other end of the communication channel remained silent, and at this moment he didn't say a word, only nodding.

He didn't say anything, so take that as an agreement.

Conan immediately ended the communication and, following his own plan, ordered Noah's Ark to dispatch drones and mechanical beasts.

However, it will take some time for the drones and mechanical beasts to launch from the various temporary bat caves and cover all parts of Tokyo.

Moreover, to accomplish this plan, the current number of drones and mechanical beasts is actually not enough; they will need to transfer drones and mechanical beasts from the Bat Cave headquarters.

It will probably take much longer than they anticipated.

Now we can only hope that Chen En's side won't make a mistake and can hold out until the other mechanical beasts and drones arrive at the scene.

"...What is the purpose of these people?"

"Could it be merely a ploy to create a commotion, a diversionary tactic, to rescue those Shadow Cabinet members trapped in the Arkham series?"
