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

He immediately recognized that it was Koizumi Akako who had exerted her power.

"...I hope it will succeed."

Conan thought to himself.

……

As Koizumi Akako battles a makeshift alliance of magicians using her magic wand, members of a mysterious organization prepare to depart for their designated location.

Aeloozaki, who had previously told Pramia that he was in place, has also appeared on a high-rise building near the center of Tokyo.

What he was gazing at was the headquarters building of the Suzuki Group, the largest conglomerate in the Kanto region.

It is well known that the Suzuki Group has a close relationship with Batman. Therefore, by targeting the Suzuki Group, Batman could be trapped in a near-fatal scheme.

As the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king.

Yaelu naturally understood this principle.

He gently stroked his other, slightly closed eye with his finger, then took out a gold die from his pocket and casually tossed it onto the ground. The die immediately began to spin.

A number appeared when it landed.

The number five.

Ael Ozaki has a rule when he does things: he rolls a die before each operation to decide how many shots he will fire.

Since the number is five, it means he will fire five shots in this operation.

This isn't a mandatory rule; it's just that Aairu finds it more fun to do it this way.

"I found it."

"Your location."

Yael said this.

The next moment, his slightly closed eye opened, revealing itself to be a mechanical prosthetic eye made entirely of machinery.

This mechanical prosthetic eye isn't just for show; it's connected to a monitoring platform in the air. Using the platform, he can easily see things that are invisible to ordinary people.

Even now, in the top-floor office of the Suzuki Group, the figures of Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki are no exception.

Chapter 1408

After covering a vast area, the crimson magic circle vanished in an instant.

The infamous Scarlet Witch simply took a cup of coffee from the butler and sipped it.

He then took out his phone, found Conan's name in his contacts, and dialed the number to explain the situation to Conan.

"...It has been lifted."

"A magic that reduces one's presence."

Upon hearing this, Conan, inside the Batcave, was immediately startled and quickly readjusted the Noah's Ark's monitoring system to the locations where the two-color liquid bombs had been planted.

However, these two-color liquid bombs were clearly not planted by Pramiya himself.

After all, a normal person wouldn't tie two liquid containers together and think it's some kind of super bomb with immense power that could blow hundreds of thousands or even millions of people into the air in an instant.

Pramia could have easily found someone to help her place the bomb where she needed to.

However, through Noah's Ark and the city's surveillance system, it was possible to retrieve all the relevant information about everyone who helped Pramia plant the two-color liquid bomb.

But even the high school detective known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

Conan had to admit that only Noah's Ark, as a super artificial intelligence, could confirm all their identities and track them down today.

Human observation capabilities have limitations.

Normal people can only observe two or three lines at the same time, but super artificial intelligence can observe in multiple threads at the same time.

After all, Noah's Ark, as a super artificial intelligence, has far more computing power than humans, as well as more available observational perspectives.

"Noah's Ark, I'm counting on you."

After realizing that even if Noah's Ark displayed all the identity information of these people and their corresponding movement paths in small windows on the supercomputer's main screen, he still wouldn't be able to observe them simultaneously in multiple threads, and ultimately determine all their traces and commonalities, he would...

Conan then handed over this arduous task to Noah's Ark, which is a super artificial intelligence.

In response, Noah's Ark replied.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Hearing Noah's Ark's reply, Conan breathed a sigh of relief, pondering the new situations Chen En might encounter next.

Now that this magic that could reduce one's presence has been broken by Koizumi Akako, the magicians in the Criminal Alliance who created this magic should also be aware of this.

In other words, the criminal alliance's strategy is very likely to change again from its original form.

However, Conan had absolutely no idea what new evidence the Crimes Alliance might come up with.

After all, what these people did was truly insane, actually burying two-color liquid bombs in various locations throughout Tokyo.

If Chen Enlai had been even a moment later, or a little later, to defuse or move the bomb, the explosion of the two-color liquid bomb alone would have been enough to cause disaster to more than ten million people in Tokyo.

A bunch of complete lunatics.

Normal criminals are easy to figure out, as well as their bottom line and way of thinking. But it's much harder to figure out these crazy newcomers who are so ruthless.

Even a high school detective had no clue about it and could only review the situation.

By attempting this approach, we can see if we can find the next course of action for the Criminal Alliance by examining its previous arguments and actions.

……

Inside the laboratory of the bat cave.

Dr. Agasa has begun to examine the liquid composition of the two-color liquid bomb at full speed and is making observations and recordings.

Although he was mainly responsible for pharmacology, he was not as proficient in chemistry as Professor Agasa.

However, Ai Haibara was able to help in some way, supplementing and recording data for Professor Agasa and offering conjectures.

Dr. Agasa.

This Conan world can almost be considered a world-class scientist.

Seeing a bomb that could create an explosion covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters by mixing two liquids is truly astonishing.

He has developed and seen many cutting-edge technologies in his life, but this is the first time he has ever seen one that is this advanced.

"However, I don't think it's impossible to reverse engineer it, although there's one thing to be careful about..."

Professor Agasa muttered to himself.

He is usually careless when conducting experiments, so he often causes all sorts of bizarre explosions at home, leaving him covered in dust and dirt.

But for this experiment, he has to be 200% serious.

The explosive power of the dual-color liquid bomb was vastly different from the explosions caused by the broken gadgets that Dr. Agasa had previously tinkered with. If it were to explode inside the Batcave, it would be enough to engulf everyone inside.

Even if Professor Agasa were careless, he wouldn't want to gamble with his own life, Ai Haibara's life, and Conan's life at such a crucial moment.

Ai Haibara, standing nearby, was recording data while carefully observing this special chemical agent.

It's incredible.

Based on the data obtained from separating the two liquids, it can be determined that the chemical composition of these liquids is quite stable, and it is impossible for them to explode.

However, if these two stable liquids are mixed together, they will become extremely unstable and explode instantly within a short period of time.

This is precisely the most difficult aspect of studying the composition of two-color liquid bombs.

Dr. Agasa had absolutely no way to stop the chemical reaction of the mixed two-color liquid bomb before it exploded, thus preventing it from being fully completed.

Now we can only use a rudimentary method, testing the composition of the two liquids little by little.

Although this approach is quite safe, it will visibly take more time, so Dr. Agasa can only wait patiently.

Wait, and hold onto hope.

……

Criminal Alliance.

The local magicians from Tokyo's magic faction had already noticed that their previously combined presence-reducing spell had been interfered with and was about to fail.

These magicians were quite surprised by the result, because they were using compound magic.

Aside from mages who specialize in spells to enhance their presence, most mages focus on establishing various defensive measures, both physical and mental, and concealing their presence on the mystical side.

However, the opposing mage easily pinpointed their location and identities, and launched an attack at that moment.

This left the Tokyo-based magicians somewhat taken aback.

Although, through intelligence from the Criminal Investigators League, these local sorcerers knew that the sorcerer currently helping Batman fight them was most likely the Scarlet Witch, one of the Seven Witches.

However, this generation of Scarlet Witch has hardly ever appeared in the Tokyo magical world, which is completely different from her mother's style.

As a result, the local magicians in Tokyo did not actually think that the magic of this new generation of Scarlet Witch would be particularly difficult to deal with.

They believed that with the cooperation of many magicians, they should be able to completely resist Koizumi Akako's investigation and magical counterattacks.

But they never expected that Koizumi Akako would be able to stand up to them and pinpoint their location even under these circumstances.

Is the Scarlet Witch's magical power alone greater than the combined magical power of all the Tokyo magicians who came here as a group at the invitation of the Shadow Cabinet?

The mages invited by the Shadow Cabinet were all somewhat surprised by this.

"...Even the Red Witch, one of the Seven Witches, shouldn't be this strong, able to break through our complex magic even with the combined efforts of many magicians, and accurately find our identities and locations."

“I even feel that it’s possible that they first know our identity information, then use our identity information to deduce our current location, and finally break through our composite magic.”

At this moment, a Tokyo magician who had been invited shared his opinion.

However, the remaining Tokyo magicians exchanged glances, disagreeing with the guess, as their identities could not possibly be revealed.

Since they knew that the Scarlet Witch was connected to Batman, this time, dealing with Batman would most likely involve dealing with the Scarlet Witch as well. Naturally, when deciding to take action, they had already used relevant magic to conceal their identities, making it impossible for their identities to be found or confirmed from a mystical perspective.

Even if the Shadow Cabinet betrayed them and sold all their identity information to the Japanese Public Security Bureau and Batman in order to obtain preferential treatment, it would be of no use.
