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

However, Hirai Kenichi was unaware that the real assassin already knew about his multiple visits to Danbara Mountain and was preparing to take action against him.

The group quickly climbed upwards.

To Chao Wenzhao's surprise, the route that Hirai Kenichi led everyone on was one that was quite easy to climb. Normally, he should have led everyone down the cliffside route.

Why did this experienced mountaineer suddenly change his mind?

Chao Wenzao pondered in his heart.

He had met Hirai Kenichi before and was certain that the other party could not be Silver Fox in disguise, so the only possibility was that this mountaineer had suddenly changed his personality.

This is rare, but not impossible.

The two mud-collecting party members following Hirai Kenichi were completely unaware of the problem with the route.

For them, as long as they could reach Tanbara Village, find Tanaka Iwa, and get the 100 million yen from Tanaka Iwa, they could live a life of luxury and run away from Tokyo.

Other routes are fine; in fact, avoiding dangerous areas is a good thing.

A dark figure followed far behind.

Silver Fox frowned, looking at Chao Wenzhao's figure. He knew that at this much faster-than-expected speed, he would soon arrive at the mountain cabin where he was disguised. As soon as he met Hirai Kenichi, his identity would definitely be exposed.

He absolutely had to find an opportunity to get rid of Hirai Kenichi, but this guy didn't seem to be giving him that chance at all...

Trouble.

A cabin in the mountains.

Kenichi Hirai glanced at the location on the map and confirmed that it was indeed the house in front of him.

He then knocked on the door and asked,

"Mr. Iwata, are you there?"

There was no response from the mountain cabin.

Kenichi Hirai frowned, turned around, and said...

“Strange, Mr. Iwata doesn’t seem to be home.”

"We've walked for so long, we should take a rest. You all rest here for a bit, I'll go check if Mr. Iwata is in any danger, I'll be right back."

Chao Wenzao nodded warily.

His attention remained focused on Kyoko Saegusa and Akira Kawabe beside him, vaguely suspecting that the assassin Silver Fox was hiding between them. His hand was on his pistol, ready to kill at any moment.

However, the next moment, gunshots rang out in the mountains.

Chao Wenzhao, Saegusa Kyoko, and Kawabe Akira all instinctively looked in the direction of the gunshot.

That's the direction Kenichi Hirai went!

Chao Wenzao instinctively went over there to see what was going on, intending to help if he could.

However, Kyoko Saegusa and Akira Kawabe fled directly towards Tanbara Village without a second thought, completely disregarding Kenichi Hirai's life or death. Just as Fumio Shio cursed inwardly for the two of them for not helping him in his time of need...

A zipline suddenly wrapped around the legs of Kyoko Sane and Akira Kawabe, causing them to fall to the ground instantly.

"There's no need to keep you around."

Chao Wenzhao turned his head in shock toward the direction from which the sound came.

Suddenly, a figure approached from afar, seemingly dragging another figure towards them, like a crazed killer from a movie. Chao Wenzao's heart trembled at the sight, and even the hand holding the gun became unsteady.

As the figure drew closer, a look of disbelief appeared in Chao Wenzao's eyes.

It's not a silver fox.

It was Kenichi Hirai.

This frequent hiker was dragging another middle-aged man along with one hand as they walked towards them. It seemed completely out of character for him, and this scene left Chao Wenzao stunned.

"It's solved."

Hirai Kenichi tossed the middle-aged man he was dragging over, letting him land on the ground.

he said,

"This is the silver fox you're looking for. Also, I've just called the police, but they'll probably be a little late arriving."

"I advise you to hide your handgun. You can hand it over to the police later and turn yourself in. I won't interfere. But now that the person has been caught, there's no need for you to use such extreme means to take revenge."

Chao Wenzhao raised his head and looked at Hirai Kenichi.

The next moment, Kenichi Hirai casually tore off the disguise from his face, revealing Chen En's face.

he said,

“I have some questions to ask those two members of the Mud Ginseng Association next to me.”

"So, I advise you not to kill anyone, or I'll send you, along with those two yakuza members who are still untying the ziplines on their feet, to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chapter 245 Chen En's Promise

It seems that the Mud Ginseng Association is planning something big.

Chen En obtained further information about the Mud Ginseng Society from the two members, learning that someone had even witnessed this group of lawless thugs treating retired members of the United States Navy SEALs as honored guests.

Given that the Steel Association purchased a large number of bombs, it's unclear what their purpose was.

He immediately realized that Tokyo was on the verge of a major upheaval, and that a huge change was likely to occur in the city in the near future. He needed to investigate the details of the matter as quickly as possible.

"The current time is 5:35 PM."

Chen En glanced down at the wristwatch on his wrist.

He spent the afternoon dealing with Silver Fox and Chao Wenzhao's affairs, traveling back and forth to Danyuan Mountain. By the time he returned to downtown Tokyo, it was probably already 6:30.

If the time was not miscalculated.

Sonoko and the others' flight SKJ865 was scheduled to take off at 6:15 PM, so it seemed he wouldn't be able to get to Haneda Airport in time to see Sonoko off.

However, there was still time to call Sonoko before boarding the plane.

Meanwhile, in the waiting area of ​​Haneda Airport.

Sonoko Suzuki was scrolling through her phone's text message list, trying to find the message that might appear at any moment using some kind of mystical method.

However, it still hasn't appeared.

Ran Mouri, sitting in the seat next to me, was about to share some of her experience.

The next moment, the phone rang.

"I am Chen En."

A voice came from the other end of the phone.

He said somewhat apologetically,

"I'm sorry, I'm still on my way back to downtown Tokyo and may not be able to get to Haneda Airport in time."

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki said somewhat discouragedly,

"How can this be? It's one thing if you won't come with me, but now you don't even have time to see me off?"

"I heard from Ai that you went to climb Mount Danyuan with that person who is said to be assassinated by an assassin, in order to prevent that person from having an accident... If I am in danger, will you come to protect me just like you protected that person?"

The question had barely been asked when the answer was given without hesitation on the other end of the phone.

"Of course, if you are in danger, I will get to your side as quickly as possible, no matter where you are."

"I've always been here."

Ai Haibara, standing next to Sonoko Suzuki, looked up at her phone, lost in thought.

She suspected that Chen En might have joined some mysterious organization.

They get money or something else for stopping crime; otherwise, why would they be so enthusiastic about stopping all kinds of crime?

People who are purely driven by passion, like Shinichi Kudo next to him, are probably a minority.

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara glanced at Conan, then turned her head back.

Forget it, I'm not going to watch it.

The current Conan has been fully integrated into the segmented gameplay.

He was having a blast playing with the members of the Junior Detective League, it was as if the effects of APTX-4869 had reduced his intelligence back to that of an elementary school student.

"The whole Sakai Natsuki thing... is completely fabricated."

Maki forced a smile and chatted with the other passengers about the things that had been revealed because of Sakai Natsuki.

While explaining to the other passengers, she inwardly cursed Sakai Natsuki for her lack of sportsmanship in exposing such a thing.

Even if she wanted to spend money to reconcile with Sakai Natsuki now, and get Sakai Natsuki to publish a clarification statement, it wouldn't work. After the prosecutor decided not to prosecute, Sakai Natsuki flew directly to the United States.

She can't get through on the phone now, and it seems like they've completely broken off relations, leaving her helpless.

The only thing I could do was curse Natsuki Sakai in my heart to vent my anger.

Meanwhile, the other members of the theater troupe performing "Josephine" were chatting with celebrities in the lounge. Among them, the one being surrounded and talked to was the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, who was at the center of the crowd.

A genius at spouting nonsense.

Even though Kogoro Mouri himself doesn't remember how he solved the case, he still boasts about his abilities in front of many passengers, using a bizarre yet inexplicably plausible reasoning process that leaves many passengers in awe.

In contrast, Chaki Shintaro is not as popular.

He could only say that it was fortunate he had asked for leave early; otherwise, if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division had run into serious trouble, he, as a manager who could barely be considered a high-ranking official, would have been pulled back to work.
