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

"Sindora Foundation, Cocoon Game".

Ai Haibara came out of the room at some point.

She sat on the sofa and said calmly,

"This is most likely a publicity stunt based on false advertising."

"Initially, the organization thought that Thomas Sindora or his IT engineers were some kind of unparalleled geniuses who were ahead of their time and leading the world. So the organization used the Dark Baron to hack in and find the development records."

The answer is no.

"Those IT engineers are just collecting their salaries or doing modeling and creating 3D game scenes. They have no idea what kind of super artificial intelligence they are developing, and the organization thinks that this is a complete waste of their time."

That's for sure. Noah's Ark was adaptively growing; one year there was equivalent to five years for humans.

The idea that the Black Organization could find the Noah's Ark program in the engineer's development log is pure nonsense. As for why Chen En was able to find the Noah's Ark program at Professor Agasa's house and use it to open a secret door...

That's actually part of the Cocoon game program, used to integrate with the main Noah's Ark program to start the game.

Furthermore, the Cocoon game was completely outsourced to Professor Agasa, so it's understandable that the Black Organization couldn't even find the Noah's Ark development program related to the Cocoon game and would think that the Sindora Foundation was simply trying to scam funding.

Chen En seemed unconcerned about it.

Ai Haibara paused for a moment, then said,

"Anime/Manga".

Chen En: ?

What did anime/manga do to you?

Even the fate of those in the world of anime and manga is a fate!

"In short, I just received a call from Sonoko and I have to go out for a bit."

"For lunch, you can find a restaurant to eat at later. Of course, you can cook for yourself if you want, or you can go to the Mori family next door for a meal."

Chen En stood up and glanced at his watch.

Then, he put on his coat and casually gave a few instructions before leaving.

"Oh, by the way, Moroboshi Dai is currently handling some matters in Nishitama City, and will most likely be back in a few days."

"Would you like to meet him?"

Ai Haibara: ?

It's best not to meet with Moroboshi Dai unless absolutely necessary.

She's not the older sister, and she doesn't have the older sister's romantic mindset. If Moroboshi Dai is targeted by other members of the Black Organization, then getting close to Moroboshi Dai will also attract the attention of the Black Organization, which would be dangerous.

Ai Haibara simply gave a cold reply.

"Don't look for me."

I wonder what Miyano Akemi, who is in the United States, would think if she heard this.

Chen En shrugged and pushed open the door to leave.

He glanced at the quiet Mouri Detective Agency, then greeted the sign girl at the Poirot Cafe next door, and immediately drove to the place Suzuki Jirokichi had mentioned.

That was the place that Sonoko Suzuki and he had arranged to meet.

It's said that Suzuki Jirokichi's big ship was parked there before. He previously suspected it might be the Belcherie II airship from "The Lost Sky Ship," and now he finally has a way to find out.

After Chen En drove away.

Conan finally sat up from the tatami mat, with some dark circles under his eyes, and wondered what was going on.

Damn it, why is Phantom Thief Kid using my identity?

Who is this guy? Is it really Kaito Kuroba? Should I go to the Ekoda area tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow and wait for him?

"That damned Phantom Thief Kid...!"

He said indignantly.

Suzuki Foundation, private parking lot.

"Huh? An airship? Brother Chen En, how did you know?"

"I do plan to build a large airship called the Belcher II, but it's not finished yet. How did you know? Your information network is incredibly efficient! I really underestimated you!"

Jirokichi Suzuki patted Chen En on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

He led Chen En and Sonoko forward, and a huge object covered by a canvas appeared before them. The next moment, he clapped his hands, and many Suzuki Group employees immediately grabbed a corner of the canvas.

Suzuki Jirokichi then said,

"Look, this is the big toy I recently bought!"

The canvas was torn off.

The next moment, a look of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

Because it's an airplane, a private plane!

No wonder Jirokichi Suzuki said it was a big guy.

Now it seems that this was indeed the case.

"With this plane, travel will be much more convenient in the future."

"I said with a smile," Suzuki Jirokichi said.

As for things like flight qualifications.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems for the Suzuki Group.

The Suzuki Tower, a landmark building constructed by the Suzuki Group in Tokyo alone, cost over 40 billion yen. An airplane and some licenses are nothing compared to this behemoth.

"That's true..."

Chen En nodded, but his thoughts drifted to the special mission of the Black Mask.

Once the black mask is dealt with, the system will give him a dual-purpose Batmobile.

Generally speaking, when we talk about a dual-purpose Batmobile, we're referring to the kind that can be used both in the air and on the ground, right? The kind that can transform into a bat-shaped aircraft. When the Batmobile is issued, it can become a flying bat!

Wait a minute, this title doesn't seem quite right.

Chen En stroked his chin, before he could recall what place this title referred to.

The phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, held it to his ear, and heard Kogoro Mouri's voice.

"Hey Chen En, a senior colleague of mine invited me to go eat barbecue. Are you coming?"

"Weren't you investigating yakuza cases lately?"

"This senior officer is an inspector from the Fourth Investigation Division, which specializes in investigating yakuza groups. Come here, you won't regret it!"

Hearing the voice, Sonoko Suzuki was about to say, "I'll go too," but the next moment, Jirokichi Suzuki placed his hand on Sonoko's shoulder and whispered,

"You can't go. You have to come with me for a bit, Sonoko. Have you forgotten about Tomoko's situation?"

"It's time to have a proper discussion."

Chapter 236 The Steel Society

The Fourth Investigation Division is a unit within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division that specializes in combating organized crime.

This violent group actually refers to the underworld, gangs, and organizations, just with a different name. The Oni Tiger Group that Makoto Kusakabe dealt with earlier, and the Steel Group that Conan mentioned, are both under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Investigation Division.

Kogoro Mouri had previously heard from Conan that Chen En was investigating yakuza groups.

Then, his senior, Inspector Teraoka Katsutoshi, called and asked him to bring a few trusted friends over for a barbecue. So, Kogoro Mouri invited Chen En along.

"Let me tell you, that senior colleague doesn't care about anything else, he only cares about food and cars."

"It's such a treat to be able to eat barbecue at his house now. Besides, he entered the industry many years before me. When I first graduated, Terai-senpai took great care of me. He's such a kind person!"

Chen En: ?

I've always been skeptical of your judgment of character. Are you sure this Teraoka Katsutoshi you're talking about is a really good person? Don't wait until I get there and see him in person, and then the issue of maintaining order suddenly pops up.

Conan whispered to himself,

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division has been dispatching more and more frequently lately. This division was originally on the verge of being disbanded and merged into other divisions due to its decline, but now it has been reinstated due to the frequent occurrence of yakuza activities."

"If you think steel would actually appear in the Tokyo area, then Inspector Teraoka definitely knows."

Chen En nodded slightly.

He agreed, while Kogoro Mouri in front continued his incessant chatter.

"Don't say I'm heartless."

"Last time you helped me solve the mystery of Detective Samonji, I originally planned to take you out for a meal, but I saw that you never had time, so I asked you to come along this time."

"Oh, by the way, I also know a little about yakuza."

Kogoro Mouri's eyes were fixed on the road, but he said,

"Back when the culture of chivalry hadn't yet faded away, Kabukicho was a place where gangsters would raid and sweep the streets every day. The violent groups that rose up in that chaotic environment were called the Mud-Sham Association."

"He's capable of any kind of bad thing, and the chairman is incredibly arrogant, but he behaved himself after being surrounded by the SMET squad once..."

Ran Mouri, sitting in the passenger seat, looked somewhat helpless.

Sometimes, when Dad starts talking about the past, he goes on and on, especially about his time as a police officer.

That said, she still finds it a little strange.

Why did Chen En suddenly want to learn about yakuza groups?

In her memory, Chen En had never had any contact with members of the yakuza or even buildings protected by them. Was he simply trying to fight crime as Batman?

That's a very high level of morality.
