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

According to Chen En's guess.

The hostages that the mysterious organization initially planned to place in the warehouse were likely Shiro Suzuki, Tomoko Suzuki, or Sonoko Suzuki from the Suzuki Foundation.

Everyone knows that Batman has intricate connections with the Suzuki Foundation.

Therefore, if the goal is to find hostages, the best targets are undoubtedly members of the Suzuki Group. And the fact that Ael, a world-class assassin, would appear near the Suzuki Group at that time is naturally for this reason.

Perhaps the plan was to surround and ambush him, luring him to the vicinity of the Suzuki Foundation, and then having others capture Sonoko Suzuki or Jirokichi Suzuki from another location.

But in the end, Ael was sent away by Noah's Ark before the mission even began.

The mysterious organization's feint attack failed, and they were unwilling to take the risk of being discovered by Chen En to arrest someone. Therefore, they chose to randomly grab a citizen of Tokyo as a hostage.

This is undoubtedly risky for the mysterious organization.

After all, if the person they captured was a member of the Suzuki Foundation, then they could be certain that Batman would risk entering the warehouse to rescue him.

But if he were just an ordinary citizen of Tokyo, then given Batman's information technology capabilities, if he really wasn't that morally upright and unwilling to risk his life to save a stranger...

Batman could simply leave it alone and use his superhuman electronic skills to instantly alter the information the mysterious organization was about to release regarding that ordinary citizen of Tokyo, thus creating confusion.

The mysterious organization could only suffer in silence.

But the mysterious organization ultimately achieved its goal.

Chen Enqie made thorough preparations to save people.

However, just before Chen En was about to enter the warehouse to rescue that person, Conan's communication appeared in Chen En's earpiece.

Conan said somewhat anxiously on the other end.

"Chen En, don't go over there yet."

"This is a complete trap. The mysterious organization's codename assassin isn't even in that warehouse. If you go there, you'll definitely be caught in their trap and killed!"

"They won't talk to you."

However, when faced with Conan's somewhat anxious question, Chen En simply replied calmly.

"Of course I know that."

"However, I still have to go in, not because I'm stubborn, but simply because there are still hostages inside the warehouse."

Do you think I would leave hostages inside unattended?

Upon hearing this, Conan fell silent.

As a detective, it's impossible to ignore hostages whose lives are in danger.

What about Batman, the superhero detective? What about Chen En, who identifies as Batman?

Chen En has risked his life to fight for people he doesn't even know more than once. If there really are hostages inside, is there any other way to rescue them?

Then it seems that Chen En himself will have to go in and make the trip.

That being said, even faced with such a hopeless situation, Conan still wanted to persuade Chen En to wait and see.

But he also knew that if the mysterious organization was unwilling to wait and instead detonated the bomb as soon as the time was up, then the consequences would be...

That is, innocent lives will be sacrificed in vain in this confrontation.

The mysterious organization will definitely seize on this point and make a big deal out of it, revealing the so-called true face of Batman to people all over the world, putting Batman at a complete disadvantage in the war of public opinion.

Although with the electronic technology demonstrated by Chen En and Noah's Ark, it wouldn't be difficult to reduce such a large issue to a small one, or even eliminate it altogether.

But consider it from another perspective.

Since the mysterious organization was able to capture an ordinary citizen of Tokyo as a hostage and put him in a house with deadly traps...

It is obvious that the mysterious organization could capture a second, a third, or even an unknown number of people as bait for the next operation.

Conan even suspected that the mysterious organization might have prepared new hostages as bait for the next step, in order to create pressure and public opinion.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but finally said...

"With the help of Koizumi Akako and the defected Tokyo magicians, we have successfully broken their magic that could confuse our presence. We can now determine their location and track them through the monitoring system."

"Chen En, be careful over there. We will continue to track the locations of those codenamed assassins from the mysterious organization to ensure that the number of such chain kills is reduced to a minimum."

Have those Tokyo magicians defected?

Chen En was naturally not surprised by this.

The Tokyo magicians are ultimately opportunists. If their information shield is broken and their true identities are revealed, it would be perfectly normal for them to switch sides.

With Koizumi Akako's help, the effects of the confusing magic were broken, revealing the true nature of the previously hidden scene and allowing Noah's Ark to continue its pursuit.

This was something Chen En hadn't anticipated.

After all, surveillance footage affected by magic is like footage with a pixelated overlay. To say you can remove the pixelation and restore the footage before it was pixelated is simply a joke.

He didn't really have much hope for this, but since Conan said that Koizumi Akako had indeed resolved the matter, he was intrigued.

Therefore, Chen En naturally chose to believe.

Belief needs no reason.

Besides, they are their own teammates.

Chen En simply placed his finger on his headset and then spoke.

"Then I need you to find the exact location of those mysterious organizations' codenamed assassins while I'm holding them back, even just one of them."

“You don’t need to take action yourself; that would be too dangerous for you. I will go there as soon as I’ve dealt with the situation at the warehouse and take care of that mysterious organization codenamed Assassin.”

These words startled Conan on the other end of the phone.

Once we resolve the situation at the warehouse, can we get there immediately? Is that really possible?

Conan couldn't even imagine what method Chen En would use to ensure his survival in the ever-present possibility of the two-color liquid bomb exploding and to take the hostage away.

Although he was confused about this and wanted to persuade Chen En, he ultimately chose to believe Chen En.

Chen En has created miracles more than once.

Although he is not the real Batman, in everyone's mind, he is already the real Batman.

Conan simply said it seriously.

"In that case, please be careful and pay attention to safety."

"I don't want Sonoko to come and ask me where I went... Although I've told many small lies, this kind of big lie..."

I don't want to tell my friends.

Chen En didn't say much, just gave a brief reply.

"I know."

"Don't worry."

……

After ending the communication with Chen En, Conan was still somewhat uneasy about what Chen En had just said.

This Batman from Tokyo is like an old general on a stage, with flags lined up behind him, ready to head south at any moment.

Just like a certain white-haired prison guard.

However, Conan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he relayed exactly what Chen En had just told him to Ai Haibara and Noah's Ark in the Bat Cave.

Inside the bat cave, Ai Haibara, who was working with Noah's Ark to investigate the most likely whereabouts of other mysterious organizations' codenamed assassins, was taken aback.

Did Chen En really say something like that?

Koizumi Akako, who was using magic in conjunction with Noah's Ark to detect and screen faces, couldn't help but look up and say something with some curiosity.

Is Chen En really in that much danger?

"I have this feeling that even if everyone in Tokyo were to die, Chen En wouldn't be in any danger. Am I overthinking this?"

Ai Haibara: ?

Although Chen En and you haven't had much contact, you seem to be the person among us who trusts Chen En the most. How is that possible?

Is there some hidden plot I don't know about?

Although Ai Haibara was somewhat surprised by this, she still answered Conan directly.

"I see."

Chapter 1421

The trap has been set.

Just like Batman's fatal weakness, which has been repeated several times before, the mysterious organization knows exactly what Batman's fatal weakness is.

After all, compared to those from Pramia, Ael, and the Tokyo magicians, the mysterious organization is the truly experienced top-tier assassination team.

They naturally know when and what means to use to achieve their goals.

The mysterious organization's initial target was clearly members of the Suzuki Foundation.

However, Ael's crucial defeat forced them to lower their standards, thus choosing ordinary citizens of Tokyo as hostages.

To the codenamed assassin of the mysterious organization, this was undoubtedly a major blunder.

Batman's urge to save the weak will always put him in dangerous situations. However, the real-world Batman and the comic book Batman are clearly not the same person. Their principles may be the same, their appearance may be the same, but they may not be entirely the same in their choices in these areas.

But since things had come to this point, they had no way to change it, so they had no choice but to use ordinary citizens of Tokyo as bait.

Of course, the mysterious organization's codenamed assassin also considered the possibility that Batman might actually abandon that ordinary citizen of Tokyo.

They naturally prepared for public opinion manipulation, and in addition, they took other Tokyo citizens hostage.

It's like a nesting doll.

If Batman doesn't fall for it, he'll blow up the entire area around the previous hostage's location and then broadcast the location of the next hostage to the entire city.

This cycle continued until Batman could no longer withstand the pressure of public opinion and took the initiative to save people.

Such methods may seem cruel and inhumane to ordinary people.
