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

However, doing this would at least allow her to get more juicy gossip tonight, making the trip worthwhile. Besides, she was also very curious to know just who those mysterious organizations' codenamed assassins were.

Koizumi Akako was no match for Haibara Ai's cute charm offensive and finally broke through her defenses, agreeing to stay and help confirm the identities.

Meanwhile, Conan is also on the move.

……

Conan has persuaded the Tokyo City magicians to defect and join the Batcave's territory to assist in the operation.

He himself acted as a monitor and guide.

After all, any mage can easily cause a big commotion if not strictly controlled. It can only be said that although these mages seem to be easy to deal with due to their high attack and low defense, they are actually not easy to handle.

Upon receiving the information from Noah's Ark, Conan was immediately overjoyed.

This was undoubtedly an unexpected bonus.

Conan originally thought that Noah's Ark would no longer be able to detect the whereabouts of the mysterious organization codenamed Killer that had suddenly disappeared.

I never expected it to reappear now.

Conan immediately checked the coordinates Noah's Ark had sent him, then frowned slightly and asked in surprise.

"Is this information accurate?"

Conan's voice instantly caught Noah's Ark's attention, and Noah's Ark, amidst its busy schedule, spared a moment to reply.

"Of course it can't be wrong."

"That codenamed assassin had great confidence in the effects of his Confusion Magic; otherwise, he wouldn't have swaggered away from the surveillance cameras, step by step, without employing any means of concealment."

Why do you ask that?

Upon hearing this answer, Conan immediately frowned.

As the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the famous high school detective, Shinichi Kudo's reasoning ability is naturally extraordinary.

Even though he has shrunk and become Conan Edogawa, his reasoning ability has not diminished.

The mysterious organization's broadcast was quite loud, so everyone heard the details, including Conan.

Although Conan only spared a portion of his attention for the mysterious organization's broadcast.

However, he remembers the key information perfectly, and there is absolutely no possibility of forgetting it.

Therefore, Conan naturally overheard information about the so-called mystery surrounding the final duel between the mysterious organization and Batman.

He solved the mystery in a very short time inside the bat cave, and knew the exact location.

The location Noah's Ark just sent him was clearly different from the location where Conan deduced the mysterious organization's codenamed assassin met Batman.

If the message Noah's Ark sent him was true, then there are only two possibilities.

Either the mysterious organization codenamed Assassin sent a large number of people, so that the remaining people could still split into two groups to buy them time.

The true identity of the mysterious organization codenamed "Assassin" that Conan and Noah's Ark have uncovered is actually just an ordinary member.

So the other party was just bait to attract other people's attention and would never actually go to the agreed location to fight Batman.

Besides that, there is another possibility, and it is the worst one.

That was the codename assassin from the mysterious organization, who never intended to talk to Chen En at that designated location from the beginning.

Their goal from the very beginning was to kill Batman.

Therefore, that place wasn't even a trap; it was a complete and utter deadly snare. All the codenamed assassins from the mysterious organization weren't there at all, but were elsewhere, lying in wait to ambush and kill Chen En.

This ensures that even if Chen En arrives at the location and discovers it's a trap, he will have absolutely no chance of escaping from that area.

In Conan's mind, the second scenario is most likely the case.

There may be many codenamed assassins in mysterious organizations, but the number of codenamed assassins with supernatural abilities is definitely not that many.

The codenamed Assassin Spider, who previously clashed with Chen En and was rendered mentally impaired by him in the museum and sent to Arkham Asylum, is a codenamed assassin with supernatural abilities from a mysterious organization.

Based on their limited knowledge of the mysterious organization, they can determine that Spider belongs to the top tier among the organization's codenamed assassins.

If a codenamed assassin with supernatural abilities can be considered top-tier, then the top assassins of a mysterious organization couldn't possibly be so cheap, right?

Not many people should be coming.

At most, three to five people will be ranked.

In this situation, it is known that three codenamed assassins from the mysterious organization, along with a witch, were defeated by Batman: one was crippled, one was killed, and one disappeared.

If they had any mental issues, they wouldn't have continued to divide their forces under these circumstances.

Therefore, the only possibility is the second one...

"We must inform Chen En immediately."

Conan made a decision immediately.

Chapter 1420

While Conan and the others were taking measures to investigate, Chen En had already arrived at the place corresponding to the mystery.

It was the abandoned warehouse area he had visited many times before, which made him reconsider whether or not to demolish the abandoned warehouse area.

Chen En had previously considered removing the abandoned warehouse area directly on several occasions.

With the Suzuki Group and Chen En Enterprises as his backing, Chen En is absolutely capable of doing this if he wants to.

But in the end, Chen En did not do that.

Of course, it's not because removing the warehouse area will have a significant impact on the Suzuki conglomerate or Chen En Enterprises.

This area is abandoned, so it definitely won't have any impact.

It was simply because Chen En knew very well the principle that gambling is not as good as taking things easy.

If all places in Tokyo where criminals might gather were eliminated in one fell swoop, then criminals and those who want to become criminals would be scattered like stars throughout Tokyo.

Even though the city's surveillance system is already in operation, there's also Noah's Ark, a super artificial intelligence, keeping an eye on things.

However, Chen En could not guarantee that he would be able to apprehend all the criminals through the city's surveillance system.

No matter how fast he is, he is still only within the realm of human speed.

However, if a place like an abandoned warehouse area is preserved, it will subconsciously attract all criminals to gather and live in close proximity.

In this way, if any troublesome criminals appear, or if any criminals are on the run, we can simply search the surveillance footage of this area and catch them without any problems.

In fact.

When Chen En first saw the puzzle, his immediate thought was that the mysterious organization had once again chosen the abandoned warehouse area as the location.

This is a place he specifically reserved.

However, Chen En's usual conservative habits led him to recalculate and verify the results.

Then we found out that it really was this place.

However, even if he knew that the mysterious organization was located in the abandoned warehouse area, he had no better way to deal with the situation.

After all, with the surveillance system malfunctioning, even Chen En himself could only use the Cassandra Ring and rely on the super intuition granted by the Cassandra Ring to find the location of these people little by little.

Although Chen En had set up some traps in the abandoned warehouse area, he could only activate them when he knew where those people were.

It cannot be triggered automatically.

And this place...

After Chen En determined the exact location, he sent the nearest drone or mechanical bird to check the situation. To his surprise, they found that there were hostages inside.

The mysterious organization codenamed Assassin is not nearby.

Or perhaps they possess some kind of spatial teleportation ability that would allow them to quickly enter the scene, but this is unlikely.

Spatial abilities are among the most overpowered of all superpowers.

If there are indeed individuals with supernatural spatial abilities within the mysterious organization, then they wouldn't even need to cooperate with others.

They were all killed in the blink of an eye.

Who would choose to cooperate with a group of people who are far inferior to themselves and whom they cannot rely on?

This warehouse is most likely a trap.

Although the mechanical bird couldn't see anything like the two-color liquid bomb through its narrow field of vision, Chen En could say with certainty that the two-color liquid bomb or other highly lethal items must be nearby.

This is a death trap set for him.

The mysterious organization's codenamed assassin had no intention of talking to him.

He knew he could never collude with the mysterious organization, nor could he ever abandon the effort to bring them to their knees. And the organization's codenamed assassin was well aware of this as well.

What I said earlier was merely for show.

The mysterious organization couldn't mislead him.

The other party probably just wants to mislead the citizens of Tokyo or other places and create some public pressure.

It meant nothing to Chen En.

The other party most likely planned to let him get close or enter the warehouse, then immediately detonate a hidden trap to kill him.

However, the mysterious organization members were likely to have guessed that Chen En would think of this, so they added another bait on top of that.

Those are hostages.

Although Chen En didn't know who the hostage in the room was, he would definitely go to rescue him no matter who it was.

He was aware of this, and the people in the mysterious organization should have been aware of it as well, otherwise they wouldn't have set up such a trap.

Batman's most fatal weakness is his insatiable urge to save the weak.

These criminals are becoming increasingly aware of this, and are targeting it more and more frequently.

However, as these criminals increase their activities, the probability of Chen En repeating the same mistakes is decreasing.

Perhaps one day, he'll become the kind of Batman who isn't threatened at all. But not now...
