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

“What’s so strange about that? If they can do it, they can do it. I remember there were blurry videos on the forums in the Izu Islands as proof, right? Besides, I also have video footage of Hawke’s crime scene.”

Inspector Zenigata casually rummaged through his pockets.

He handed the photo he had prepared to hand over to Superintendent Hakuba.

He didn't actually take these photos; he doesn't usually carry a camera. He just happened to run into some local police officers from the Izu Islands taking pictures, and he casually asked for a few copies to submit to the International Criminal Court later.

Upon seeing the photo in his hand, Superintendent Hakuba frowned.

This is outrageous! Is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department going to say after their investigation that the cause of the chain-reaction car accident caused by the truck overturning was that a man quickly cut open the truck chassis with an axe?

Even if it were true, no one else would believe it; it's too unconventional!

Oh, thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. At least it should be fine in Beika Town. Once Megure's investigation is complete, we can announce the news in Beika Town first as a transition, and then slowly spread it to other areas.

"But you mean there was someone using a white hang glider, and Batman was also involved in the battle?"

Superintendent General Hakuba decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

He then inquired about the part that had surprised him the most, and to Superintendent Hakuba's question, Inspector Zenigata nodded and answered matter-of-factly.

"Of course, and I saw it with my own eyes. Batman was hitting Hawke so hard he was about to kill him."

"If Goemon hadn't hitched a ride with me and arrived at the scene just in time, Hawke would probably be dead by now. I've always wanted to ask, why is there a Batman in Tokyo? Did you guys change your name to Gotham City?"

By this point, Inspector Zenigata finally realized that something was amiss with Batman's presence.

He touched his chin and asked curiously.

"Does the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have any information about Batman? I think he and Lupin III don't get along very well. If you have a Bat-Lantern that can summon him, could you lend it to me?"

"I'll return Lupin III to you after I've captured him!"

White Horse Superintendent: ?

What do you mean by "give it back to us"? You need to have something to lend to me first.

Where in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department do they have a Bat-Light to summon Batman? Do they think this is Gotham City? Our valiant Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers haven't stooped to relying on Batman like the officers in Gotham City!

Superintendent Whitehorse, with a somewhat serious expression, said...

"Although what Batman does seems to be helpful in solving the case."

"But his actions are still a serious violation of the law, so as a police officer, I feel it's necessary to remind you that Batman is also a lawbreaker. As for asking Batman for help..."

"You can spread this kind of thing privately, but don't say it in front of me, otherwise how am I supposed to handle this?"

Qianxing Police Department:?

Oh, so you still have to put on a show, right?

I see that your criminal investigation officers are all too used to Batman's presence, and they probably think that summoning Batman is a standard skill for Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers. Now it seems that we still need to do some research.

Inspector Zenigata yawned at this point, stood up, and said...

"In short, that's the situation. Is there anything else that needs to be confirmed?"

"Since Lupin III hasn't emailed me, it means he doesn't plan to steal anything in Tokyo. The Interpol agent who's going to arrest Hawke won't arrive until tomorrow. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep."

White Horse Superintendent: ?

Does Lupin III send you emails after stealing things?

The fact that Interpol didn't suspect you, a special agent with a near 100% failure rate in arrests, just like Ginzo Nakamori, was a Lupin III mole means Interpol really trusted you.

crunch.

Inspector Zenigata pushed open the door and left, while Superintendent General Hakuba sighed and put down the documents in his hand.

He reached up and rubbed his forehead, feeling that he had been dealing with a lot lately.

First came the frequent terrorist attacks perpetrated by the Iron Society, then the series of attacks that occurred yesterday and today, followed by a series of traffic accidents orchestrated by Hawke, Lupin III, and Batman.

As the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he felt immense pressure.

Did such a significant entity really exist in Tokyo before?

Superintendent Whitehorse couldn't help but ponder,

He remembered that Hakuba Saguru, who was in Canada, had just called him. The call clearly stated that Hakuba Saguru had been attacked and nearly died in Canada.

But this opportunity also served to prove to the International Criminal Court that the killer spider was Günther von Goldberg II.

Now, Hakuba Saguru calls to remind him that super-powered assassins from a mysterious organization will soon enter Tokyo, and he must be careful and make preparations.

Therefore, Superintendent Hakuba immediately connected the events of that evening with what Hakuba had said.

Perhaps Hawke and Goemon aren't superpowered, but their appearance proves that Superintendent Hakuba's previous belief that supernatural forces didn't exist in the world was wrong.

Hawke and Goemon's physical abilities are equivalent to a unique kind of superpower.

Under these circumstances, Superintendent White Horse couldn't entirely disbelieve the existence of other superpowered individuals besides these martial artists. Therefore, he said in a low voice...

"It seems we really have to proceed according to Tan's plan."

It's time for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's equipment to be upgraded.

Otherwise, as the capital of this country, are we to think that any criminal can run rampant and do whatever they want here? What about the reputation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? Where would his reputation as the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department be?

Superintendent General Hakuba said seriously.

"We must upgrade our equipment and strike hard against these criminals!"

Chapter 359 You really need to take responsibility!

At this very moment, at Mihana Central Hospital.

Kaito Kuroba leaned against the emergency room, feeling somewhat helpless as he watched Makoto Kyogoku undergo emergency treatment inside. His monocle, after being upgraded, now possessed the same magnifying ability as Conan's glasses.

Therefore, he witnessed the outcome of the real sword fight between Kyogoku Makoto and Hawke.

Hawke clearly didn't intend to kill Kyogoku Makoto at the time. It was only when Kyogoku Makoto insisted on fighting Hawke that Hawke decided to kill him. If Hawke hadn't arrived in time, Kyogoku Makoto would probably have died at Hawke's hands.

"Why would someone who's just a high school student have to fight a life-or-death duel like this?"

Kaito Kuroba scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

It's just that no other patients or doctors were passing by; otherwise, seeing Kaito Kuroba like this, they would probably all be wondering why he was behaving so boyishly.

To conceal his identity, Kaito Kuroba put on a woman's disguise mask near Beika Hospital.

He only remembered that Chen En had taken and used the male disguise mask he had prepared on the plane when he was almost at the hospital. Later, during his battle of wits with Hattori Heiji and his two companions in Hakodate, he completely forgot about it.

He couldn't possibly carry Makoto Kyogoku back to base and then bring over a disguise mask, could he? That would mean he'd be dead.

It'll do for now; it's just a matter of using a fake voice, which can be easily solved with a simple voice imitation.

As Kaito Kuroba thought about this, he couldn't help but think of the duel between Chen En and Hawke in the suburbs.

As a world-class magician, he couldn't even figure out how Chen En conjured up that several-story-tall Batmobile from nowhere; such a thing clearly didn't belong to the realm of magic.

If I had to say, it would definitely be magic similar to that of Akako, right?

This time, Chen En went all out against Hawke, driving the Batmobile straight into him. The force was so great that it probably turned the guy with the two axes into a two-dimensional version of himself.

"Could it be that he killed someone?"

Kaito Kuroba said in a low voice.

He glanced at the emergency room again, then suddenly sensed something was wrong. He abruptly turned to look beside him and saw Batman in his Batsuit standing there.

Immediately, a hint of surprise appeared in Kaito Kuroba's eyes.

"How did you get here? You were so conspicuous, didn't anyone see you?"

Chen En: ?

He pointed to the emergency exit beside him with his thumb and replied.

"Take the stairs."

Kaito Kuroba: ?

Without giving a detailed answer, Chen En looked at Kuroba Kaito with some confusion, sizing him up before asking, "..."

"By the way, why are you dressed as a woman again?"

"Does he/she have a cross-dressing fetish?"

Kaito Kuroba: ?

At this, Kaito Kuroba's lips twitched, and he said in a more serious tone,

"Yeah, because it's cuter that way. Did you think I'd say that?"

"It's because you took away the temporary male disguise mask I prepared earlier that I had to take the female disguise mask! Have you completely forgotten about this? You need to take responsibility!"

Chen En: ?

Huh? It's been several days, and you still haven't ordered more stock?

Chen En blinked and replied,

"The first thing to do after returning to base is to replenish your equipment. Isn't that common sense?"

"Riddler, you're not trained enough, you need to practice more!"

Kaito Kuroba: ?

He lost interest in arguing with Chen En for a moment, and instead frowned and asked,

"You killed someone?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's a mining cart, right? If it scoops something down from that height, it'll smash a person into mincemeat, won't it?"

He is a staunch non-killer.

As everyone knows, he never even touches a real gun; no one understands the importance of not killing better than him.

If we ignore the major event in a certain timeline where Phantom Thief Kid blows up the power plant.

Of course, Kaito Kuroba in the current timeline doesn't have this idea.
