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

Clearly, as he had predicted, Conan was unaware of what had happened that night.

"Death Shooter's Bracers, tsk, a bit more difficult to deal with than I expected."

Chen En frowned, thinking to himself,

Using the information provided by King, he successfully eliminated numerous members of the criminal organization, including Silver Fox, adding to Inspector Megure's workload and earning ninety points. It seems those assassins haven't been doing so well lately.

So much so that when he came knocking, only three assassins had triggered low-level security missions.

This is understandable. After all, given the strong sense of martial spirit among the citizens of Beika Town, and the recent chaos that has led to this situation, it's hard to imagine that the citizens of Beika Town would spend a lot of time and energy looking for the killer, rather than putting in a little effort to take matters into their own hands.

It is widely known that the citizens of Beika Town have a history of committing murders using methods deemed unforgivable by both natural and physical forces.

Even Tequila, one of the Black Organization's well-trained codenamed members, was mistakenly killed on the spot. Furthermore, what if the female athlete in the roller coaster murder case had intended to kill Gin and Vodka instead?

Chen En dared to bet that the moment the roller coaster crossed the tightrope, the Black Organization would suffer its biggest blow since the end of the century, losing a member of the Nine Gates of Detective Conan.

He didn't send the arms shop owner to jail because arms dealing is legal in Japan.

This country has a greater crackdown on guns than the United States, but this is mainly reflected in the strict control over gun ownership and potential gun owners. The gun shop owner even had a legal gun sales license.

Therefore, Chen En only installed a few cameras in the weapons shop before leaving, just in case.

In addition, it is foreseeable that he will most likely visit the weapons shop owner in the future and order some special ammunition. Dr. Agasa may help him manufacture cold weapons, but manufacturing firearms and bullets is impossible.

He didn't intend to make things difficult for Professor Agasa, but he did need ammunition.

Because of the attributes of the Deathstalker's Bracers.

Chen En's gaze fell on the system screen beside him, which displayed the attribute information of the pair of specially made metal wristbands hidden under his clothes.

[Item Name: Death Shooter's Bracers]

[Note 1: Floyd Lawton Jr. was one of the world's deadliest and most accurate shooters. Rumor has it that anyone who wore his wristbands possessed shooting skills comparable to the Dead Man's when using weapons attached to the wristbands.]

[Note 2: This pair of wrist guards comes with two small portable grenade launchers and two bullet launchers that can fire 9mm conventional bullets, armor-piercing bullets, and explosive bullets. These must be replenished manually once depleted.]

These wristbands are not quite the type Chen En remembers.

He pulled his sleeves in slightly, revealing metal wrist guards. With a slight twitch of his fingers, two small, portable grenade launchers rose from above the wrist guards, and the next moment, below the grenade launchers...

Two bullet launchers, connected end to end by metal chains, resembling a second layer of handguards, then appeared.

Chen En could operate the wrist guards on his hands with ease.

He was certain this thing had nothing to do with technological creations, but it did require bullets and grenades as fuel, and he was unlikely to give up such a portable, non-time-limited item.

Therefore, he really needs a gunsmith who can manufacture all kinds of bullets and replenish grenades.

King, who has partnered with the world's top assassins, is a gun master who meets his requirements. Even considering only the combat power of the [Death Shooter's Bracers] equipment, he cannot easily take down that gun master.

Extraintuitive abilities are still at play.

Chen En lowered his hands, his coat sleeves swirling down to cover the wrist guards that had been retracted, now concealing all the weapons. He turned his head to look at the laboratory room assigned to Ai Haibara, who then opened the door and looked at Chen En.

The former scientist from the Black Organization did not appear to be in good condition.

In Chen En's memory, Ai Haibara should have already gone to her room to rest before he set off to deal with the [Bermuda Triangle's undead]. He was slightly surprised that Ai Haibara was in the laboratory.

Unfortunately, mobile phones at that time had not yet advanced to the level of smartphones, so his phone could only be used to make calls.

Otherwise, Chen En would definitely have spared no expense in installing a dedicated app on his phone to access surveillance cameras—not specifically for monitoring the apartment, but simply to get immediate information about other things happening inside Beika Town.

"...Isn't what happens in the suburbs dangerous?"

Ai Haibara closed the door, leaned against it, stared at Chen En, and asked.

"Although I don't think Lupin III and his gang pose a threat to you without Ishikawa Goemon around, I'm still a little worried, so I took the skateboard that Professor Agasa gave me to the suburban highway area."

"But when I arrived, the area was completely cordoned off by police officers, and the level of danger was obvious at a glance."

"I searched the neighborhood for a while and only encountered a woman who tried to trick me into revealing the manufacturing method of APTX-4869. I couldn't find you, so I returned to the apartment and used a computer program to hack into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's internal files and surveillance."

Ai Haibara's brows furrowed slightly.

"You seem to be fighting an opponent who is already dead."

"His strength and speed are astonishing. He is one of the very few exceptional combatants in the organization's database. It's hard to imagine how you managed to defeat that opponent all by yourself after Kyogoku Makoto was hospitalized."

Fujiko Mine was also nearby.

Yes, Chen En knew this. He had noticed that Mine Fujiko had been following Ishikawa Goemon and Inspector Zenigata's car, seemingly protecting Ishikawa Goemon. However, he had no intention of making contact with Mine Fujiko.

Unexpectedly, Fujiko Mine didn't rush to leave after that, but instead went to find Ai Haibara, who had arrived at the scene.

Chen En was not surprised at all that Fujiko Mine was able to obtain the Black Organization's classified information.

Judging from the intelligence capabilities demonstrated by Lupin III and his gang in the movie, they have access to most of the Black Organization's secrets, including the true identities of Shiho Miyano, Kaito Kuroba, and others.

But he found the database file that Ai Haibara mentioned rather strange.

"You mean, in the Black Organization's observations, there are other individuals with similar files?"

Ai Haibara nodded slightly and said,

"Yes, but most of them are still missing. However, it is certain that Onimaru Takeshi, who has won the national high school kendo tournament for two consecutive years, has exceptional combat abilities. There is also Tekken, who was able to suppress Onimaru Takeshi in a head-on fight and is now missing."

"Although Onimaru Takeshi is not exactly missing, he only appears when participating in major competitions. He even refused the honorary citizenship awarded by Tokyo and Kyoto and refused to settle in the city, focusing solely on his training."

Are Iron Sword and Onimaru strong?

Chen En narrowed his eyes slightly.

If his whereabouts weren't a mystery, perhaps finding Onimaru Takeshi, who had integrated into the division, or even the Iron Sword, which never officially appeared from beginning to end, would also be a way to improve his strength.

Chapter 368 Eri Kisaki: Kogoro Mouri, are you really hungry?

As the night passed, dawn finally broke.

Conan sat up in bed, yawning, and groggily washed up. Then he sat at the dining table, while Kogoro Mouri, who had woken up earlier, was already energetically pressing the power button on the TV.

"I heard there's a special interview with Ms. Yoko this morning!"

Conan took a sip of miso soup, looked up at Kogoro Mouri, and a hint of speechlessness appeared in his eyes.

How could that be? Who schedules an interview program for the morning?

And since she's a popular idol like Yoko Okino, her interview program will definitely be scheduled for prime time in the evening, right?

"Dad, really..."

Ran Mouri muttered,

But I still didn't block Kogoro Mouri's remote control. Anyway, there weren't any programs to watch in the morning, so I figured I might as well watch an interview program. After all, it's better than watching the news.

However, while Ran Mouri's idea was good, reality was far from ideal.

The television screen wasn't showing the interview program that Kogoro Mouri wanted to watch, but rather a news program that Ran Mouri didn't really want to watch—a rebroadcast of an emergency news report from the early hours of yesterday.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri was stunned.

Even Conan, who was wolfing down his rice, was taken aback, instinctively putting down his bowl and blinking.

No, is there breaking news again this morning?

Are you kidding me? Has Beika Town gotten this chaotic lately? Who's stirring up trouble this time?

A figure holding a coffee cup subconsciously flashed into Conan's mind.

When he returned to the office yesterday afternoon, he sensed that Chen En seemed a little off, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason. He could only attribute it to his sixth sense acting up again in an intermittent way.

But given the breaking news this morning, does that mean Chen En really is working the night shift again?

At this very moment, the news program on Nichiri TV has already begun broadcasting.

This time it was a police report from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and there were two of them.

One incident involved a series of car accidents on the outskirts of Tokyo. The news anchor linked this incident to the sinking of an illegal trading ship near the Izu Islands, characterizing it as a manhunt for Lupin III.

The perpetrator who caused the series of car accidents has been apprehended by Batman in collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The other item concerns an incident that occurred near the headquarters of the Mud Ginseng Association.

Until today, the news media finally noticed the Mud Party's high-ranking members, who have been constantly dying and seemingly targeted for retaliation, and reluctantly added a few scraps of information about the Mud Party incident alongside the major news about Lupin III.

This was mainly to pad out the runtime, but the news made both Kogoro Mouri and Conan frown.

A horrific car accident occurred in the suburbs of Tokyo because someone was chasing Lupin III.

This caught Batman's attention, and Batman apprehended the criminal on the spot, getting Lupin III out of Tokyo. Sure, no problem at all. Neither Kogoro Mouri nor Conan were surprised.

After all, the fighting abilities Batman has demonstrated are far beyond what humans can achieve.

However, the latter's series of murders targeting the Mud Ginseng Association is alarming, because according to the police, the killer is a serial killer who uses sniper rifles, pistols, explosives, and other methods to commit murders.

No one knows what motivated this serial killer to commit murder.

Even the news anchors described him as ambiguous, unsure whether he was an anti-heroic superhero inspired by Batman or simply a gangster assassin fighting each other.

"It seems Inspector Megure is going to be busy again."

Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself,

He picked up the bowl of rice beside him, hurriedly shoveled down a few mouthfuls, and then, in front of Conan and Ran's surprised gazes, instantly stood up, startling Conan.

Does this mean that Uncle Mori is going to do what he did in Hakodate before, helping those in need?

Is he going to assist the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers in solving this serial murder case again?

Ran Mouri also said with some surprise,

"Dad, what's wrong...?"

"I have a feeling."

Kogoro Mouri said with a serious expression,

"I might get a big, well-paying job today, so I'm going to the office to wait for the money!"

He had barely finished speaking when he reached up and stroked his mustache with a smug grin, bursting into laughter.

"Hahahaha, my career as the great detective Kogoro Mouri shouldn't be far off!"
