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

"Me, test? Are you kidding me? Are terrorists this brazen these days?"

"Black Mask? Challenging Batman? And blowing up the Suzuki Corporation's headquarters? Really?"

Inside the Mori Detective Agency,

Kogoro Mori, holding a can of beer, stared dumbfounded at the program broadcasting on TV, feeling nothing but shock. Damn it, the criminals in Beika Town are getting more and more outrageous, and the scale of their crimes is getting bigger and bigger.

Oh, so there were criminals who tried to blow up tens of thousands of people before, right? Well, never mind then.

Ran Mouri, who had just sat down next to him, also covered her mouth in a panic.

"W-How could it be the Suzuki Group headquarters building that was bombed?"

"Sonoko just parted ways with us, she wouldn't be going to... Ah, Sonoko never goes to the headquarters building... But, Uncle Suzuki and the others, at this time, shouldn't they still be working in the Suzuki Group's headquarters building?"

"If it explodes..."

Sonoko Suzuki has the qualities to become Batman.

In the case of the death of both parents.

Ran Mouri's words startled Kogoro Mouri, who turned his head away in surprise.

Mori Kogoro:?

No way, such a big entrepreneur is actually taking the lead and working overtime?

He never even considered the possibility that Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki were still inside the Suzuki Foundation headquarters at this point in time!

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Shiro Suzuki.

However, Suzuki Shiro did not reply for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but swallow hard.

No way? The Suzuki Foundation headquarters building has really been taken over by members of the Steel Society?

Even the chairman of the Suzuki Group, Shiro Suzuki, and his wife, Tomoko Suzuki, couldn't escape? This... this doesn't make sense, does it?

When Kogoro Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki parted ways at Dorobika Land,

He also mentioned the security issue to Sonoko Suzuki. Inspector Megure then said that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had known for some time that Steel was targeting the Suzuki Foundation, so they had increased the number of guards. Police officers were constantly patrolling the vicinity of the Suzuki Foundation's headquarters building.

They even claimed it was foolproof, but is this really a foolproof method?!

"No way, we've really been kidnapped?"

Kogoro Mouri quickly grabbed the remote and changed the channel.

Now that Black Mask is live-streaming his challenge against Batman, there must be other TV stations also broadcasting the live footage of the fight, or even the specific situation at the Suzuki Foundation headquarters.

This is tonight's ratings champion; if there's money to be made, the TV station can't possibly not make it!

After switching channels just two or three times, the live broadcast from TV Tokyo appeared, showing a view of the Suzuki Group headquarters building. At that moment, the area around the Suzuki Group headquarters building was surrounded by police cars.

Moreover, other police cars were arriving at the scene from time to time, and officers could be seen wearing bomb suits.

Furthermore, these police officers were all gathered at the entrance of the Suzuki Group headquarters building, and none of them went inside. Considering the earlier live-streamed threats from the man in black, this inevitably leads to the conclusion...

The Suzuki Foundation headquarters building was indeed hijacked by the Steel Society!

See here,

Ran Mouri couldn't suppress her worry either.

She took out her phone, dialed Sonoko Suzuki's number, and asked,

"Sonoko, are you alright?"

"I just saw on the news that the Suzuki Group headquarters building has been hijacked by the Steel Society. So now... Uncle Suzuki and Aunt Suzuki, where are they now?"

Faced with this problem,

Sonoko Suzuki replied somewhat dejectedly.

"Dad, Mom, they're both at the Suzuki Group headquarters right now. I'm with Uncle, and the bodyguards are protecting us..."

Upon hearing this answer, Ran Mouri quickly and quietly comforted Sonoko Suzuki.

Conan, who was sitting next to Ran Mouri, couldn't sit still any longer.

This was clearly a trap set for Batman.

Looking back now, Chen En's early departure from Dorobiga Paradise was probably because he had noticed some clues about Black Mask and was preparing to counter his moves, which is why he left.

Why does this guy... never invite him along?

Taking advantage of Ran Mouri's inattention, Conan quietly slipped out of the Mouri Detective Agency.

He didn't know where Chen En, as Batman, would be now.

Perhaps they are at the Suzuki Group's headquarters, or perhaps they have already gone to the arena designated by Black Mask.

However, either possibility is quite unfavorable.

Black Mask was determined to kill Batman here, and he never stopped!

We need to think of a solution!

He needs to find Chen En.

Although Conan himself said he didn't know where Chen En was, he knew who did, so that was enough. Sometimes, you don't need to know everything yourself to get things done; you just need to find someone who does.

Accompanied by a creaking sound.

Ai Haibara frowned.

She turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

The next moment, the elementary school student in the blue suit closed the door behind him, leaned against the wall, and looked at Ai Haibara's computer screen. He could tell at a glance that the screen displayed was the surveillance footage of the Suzuki Foundation!

"...Entering a girl's room without even knocking?"

"The great detective's manners are really low. Did he often use this method to go to Ms. Mori's room before he shrunk?"

Ai Haibara even had the mood to make a sarcastic remark about Conan.

It wasn't until Conan mentioned the Black Mask livestream that Ai Haibara was taken aback and realized something was wrong.

Chen En didn't tell her about it either.

She had been watching the surveillance footage the whole time and hadn't turned on the TV at all, so naturally she was unaware of the Black Mask livestream. She had been kept in the dark until Conan came knocking on her door, and only then did she learn what kind of predicament Chen En was facing.

"We can't just stand by and do nothing; we have to step in and help!"

Conan said with a serious expression,

He glanced at the internal surveillance footage of the Suzuki Group, pondering whether to infiltrate the Suzuki Group headquarters to help deal with the thugs, but then he looked closer...

This is a complete thug! What kind of thug chats and laughs with hostages?!

Conan immediately realized that Chen En had probably already dealt with the Steel Society members at the Suzuki Foundation headquarters, and this was just a smokescreen left by Chen En to mislead others!

Without saying a word, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara frowned slightly and asked,

"Shinichi Kudo, what are you doing?"

Conan answered without turning his head.

"Of course I'm going to help."

Ai Haibara paused for a moment before speaking.

"I think that, according to his thinking, if he didn't notify us to help, then he probably wanted us to stay put."

Conan turned his head and smiled.

Didn't he say that?

"Robin's biggest characteristic is that he doesn't follow orders!"

He calls me Robin, so if I still take his orders, wouldn't that be a waste of that title?

Chapter 309 A Fear of Violating Principles?

"Why? Baby, why won't you let us act?"

"I'll test you! What exactly is the Japanese Public Security Bureau trying to do? No, are you trying to repeat the Tokyo subway sarin attack? Human lives aren't something you can just throw around on a pedestal!"

Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was already at odds with the Japanese Public Security Bureau

Seeing the Japanese police officers still forcibly taking over command at the scene, his face darkened. He pointed at them, about to speak, but the officers beside him quickly restrained him, saying...

"Garlic birds, garlic birds, they have it tough!"

"The Japanese Public Security Bureau must have their reasons for doing this. After all, if something serious happens to the Suzuki Group, the Japanese Public Security Bureau will also be held responsible. They are probably still planning their next course of action!"

"Chief Odagiri and Supervisor Matsumoto haven't given any other instructions, so just follow the instructions from the Japanese Public Security Bureau!"

Shiratori Ninzaburo: ?

Why do I feel like the officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are treated like inferiors?

No, in civil cases, lawyers film and threaten people, leaving them too afraid to move. In criminal cases, the prosecutor's authority is paramount. In public safety cases, they are subject to the control of the Japanese Public Security Bureau!

I might as well become a beat cop at a local police station! Or maybe work at another headquarters in Tokyo!

Shiratori Ninzaburo sighed.

He could somewhat understand why that genius police officer, Morofushi Takaaki, had chosen to work in Nagano Prefecture instead of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Damn it, if it weren't for the Shiratori Group being based in Tokyo, he would have run away long ago!

"In short, this is an order."

"According to relevant regulations, in the event of a public safety incident, local police officers should fully cooperate with members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau who are carrying out the mission. We ask for your understanding."

Yuya Kazami, a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, took a handkerchief out of his pocket.
