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

With her photographic memory, she was unmatched within the Black Organization in terms of memory; she memorized the entire layout of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department after just one glance.

Therefore, she had already planned her infiltration route into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and now it was time to put it to use.

Curaçao then donned a wig and colored contact lenses as a disguise.

Although she felt that her intrusion was unlikely to be discovered, if it were, she would have to present a disguised appearance, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if someone remembered her appearance.

Curaçao's physical characteristics are completely unlike those of the locals, so it's not difficult to identify them.

After completing his disguise, Curaçao immediately broke into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, just a few steps away, no one knew anything about this. Inspector Zenigata was still telling Officer Chiba and Officer Sato about the threat of Lupin III, trying to persuade them to become his teammates in the fight against Lupin III.

Faced with Inspector Zenigata's appeal, Officer Sato agreed to the request without hesitation.

Miwako Sato previously said that Lupin III was stronger, naturally because she grew up listening to stories about Lupin III and has a unique perspective on him, even calling him her first love.

However, just because Lupin III was her first love doesn't mean she wouldn't pursue him.

The facts are just the opposite.

Because Lupin III was Sato Miwako's first love, she was even more determined to bring him to justice. A free and unfettered first love was far less appealing than a first love imprisoned.

Miwako Sato was overjoyed to be able to assist Inspector Zenigata in capturing Lupin III.

In contrast, Officer Chiba didn't seem to have the same level of enthusiasm.

He doesn't have any special feelings for Lupin III because, as an otaku, he actually prefers anime phantom thieves, like Phantom Thief Mask from Sailor Moon, to real-life phantom thieves.

However, since Inspector Zenigata said he was going to arrest Lupin III...

Inspector Chiba nodded, ready to join Inspector Zenigata's plan to capture Lupin III. Putting everything else aside, he wanted to see if Lupin III was really as formidable as Inspector Zenigata had claimed.

If not, he'll just keep promoting the idea that Batman defeated Lupin III.

Meanwhile, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigative Division was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The Japanese public security officers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which was quite close by, were completely unaware of this. They were not only unaware of what was happening at the neighboring Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but they were also completely unaware that Curaçao had infiltrated the area.

Curaçao deployed the Night Baron for this attack.

In terms of hacking, the Dark Baron is just like the uninstaller in Girls' Frontline 2: Exile; it can wipe all the data in an area simply by starting it up.

It's perfect for dealing with firewalls; you can instantly remove the firewall and then take control of the monitoring system.

So even within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which is their own stronghold, the Japanese public security forces are completely blind, unable to see or know anything!

"Are you sure, Mr. Furuya? Investigate the matter concerning the Mud Ginseng Association?"

At that very moment, from a corner of an emergency exit inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the voice of Yuya Kazami rang out. This member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, a subordinate of Rei Furuya, frowned and said...

"What grounds do we have to investigate the Mud Ginseng Association?"

"Even though the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division is almost paralyzed right now, with Superintendent Kuroda Hyōe arriving in Tokyo this afternoon, it's not something we can do without consulting him later."

"Kuroda Hyōe is a senior member of our National Police Agency. He just transferred from the Japanese Public Security Bureau to the regular police officer system."

"Our system of requiring Metropolitan Police Department officers to cooperate unconditionally without showing relevant proof is something Kuroda Hyōe is more familiar with than we are. Trying to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later is completely impossible."

Upon hearing this, Rei Furuya placed his hand on his forehead.

He shook his head, trying to clear his head and prevent himself from being consumed by rage, before speaking in a deep voice.

"I am a member of the Public Security Planning Department. The management officer has assigned me to be fully responsible for matters related to the Black Organization."

"In public safety incidents involving the Japanese Public Security Bureau, as long as no one revokes my identity, I have the highest authority in this regard, and it is perfectly normal for me to request the cooperation of the Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division."

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yu was also taken aback, and said in disbelief,

"Are you trying to say that the Mud Ginseng Association is related to the Black Organization? But you and I both know that the Mud Ginseng Association has nothing to do with the Black Organization!"

Rei Furuya frowned and replied,

"No, the Mud Ginseng Association is connected to the Black Organization, because I said so!"

I am the Black Organization's undercover agent. Whether the Mud Ginseng Association has any connection with the Black Organization is up to me!

How can anyone else prove that the Black Organization is unrelated to the Muddy Sandwich Association? Are they going to find a second Japanese Public Security mole within the Black Organization?! Even if they're not connected, they are still connected! Besides, taking down the Muddy Sandwich Association would actually benefit public security!

"Wait... I suddenly feel uneasy..."

Rei Furuya frowned and said,

He felt as if someone had entered the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Chapter 403 Can't I be an oracle?

"...Please believe that the Cocoon Games Project is an absolutely groundbreaking and ambitious plan, a completely new type of game that is capable of changing the entire game market and creating a new blue ocean in the game market!"

"Alright, without further ado, please take turns entering the stage with your game badges and get ready to play!"

After using Yusaku Kudo's mystery novel to generate buzz,

Thomas Sindora then stepped down from the stage in high spirits. After exchanging pleasantries with the other celebrities, he headed backstage. Seeing this, Conan frowned, knowing where Thomas Sindora might be going.

Either go to the control room to adjust the game content of Cocoon, or go to the database to kill Tadaaki Mura.

He wanted to go and take a look, but as for the Cocoon Game, compared to the potential murders in reality, he figured it was better not to play it.

However, just as Conan was about to give up on entering and go backstage to check the situation,

Ai Haibara patted his shoulder and said softly,

"It's still in the planning stages, Detective. Shouldn't you try to trust Batman a little more?"

"After all, Batman always says you're his Robin, so you should at least look like Robin."

Conan: ?

I already said, I'm not his Robin at all!

When did I say I was Robin? Don't just randomly assign me this kind of character setting, just like the previous statement that I wanted to be a magical girl, it's completely fictional and baseless!

Just as Conan frowned, he suddenly noticed that Ai Haibara was wearing an earphone on one ear.

He was taken aback for a moment and asked,

"You were on a call with him? From the moment you connected?"

Ai Haibara nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Upon seeing this, Conan felt a strange sense of sadness welling up inside him.

Damn it, I was here first! Whether it's solving the case or deducing the truth, why... Chen En actually shares information with Ai Haibara but not with him? Is it because of Ai Haibara... Oh wait, could Ai Haibara have actually accepted the Robin title?

Conan blinked, glanced to the side, and, before it was their turn to enter,

He quickly moved closer to Ai Haibara and asked in a low voice,

"You didn't actually accept the title Chen En gave you, did you?"

Ai Haibara nodded slightly and replied.

"Yes, there's no loss involved."

Upon hearing this, Conan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

Ai Haibara is quite a character; she can accept this title? No wonder Chen En was willing to share information with Ai Haibara. If he were Chen En, with a female Robin like her, he would definitely agree to share the title as well.

Just as the two of them were about to go through security, Conan casually asked,

"Oh, by the way, what generation of Robin did he say you were?"

To this, Ai Haibara simply replied calmly,

“When did I say I was Robin? He said I was the Oracle.”

Conan: ?

An oracle? Not Robin? Not Robin???

Who is the Oracle? Is there such a superhero?

Conan froze for a moment, only snapping out of his daze when Ran called his name. He quickly followed, his face somewhat grim. He leaped into the game pod, still deep in thought.

Why is Ai Haibara given such a unique title?

How did it become Robin's turn? I'm furious. When will boys be allowed to stand up for themselves? Why can't he be an oracle? Uh… I don't know why, but this title feels a bit off. I'll look it up later…?

The game pod of Cocoon Games slowly closed.

Thomas Sindora's heart was already burning with murderous intent.

This Murakami Tadahina is really asking for trouble. At first, Tadahina only suspected that Murakami Tadahina had a genetic backup of a DNA tracing system; he hadn't planned to kill him so quickly.

But now, Cun Zhongbin actually dares to act disrespectfully in front of him, using this gene backup to blackmail him. This is outrageous!

Ever since Thomas Sindora learned that she was a descendant of Jack the Ripper,

He could feel the blood of Jack the Ripper resurfacing in his veins, and he was certain that Jack the Ripper's will was entwined around him, allowing him to transform into the deepest darkness of the nineteenth century at any moment.

(To be honest, I think 19th-century Britain was far darker than Jack the Ripper; they were utterly immoral.)

call out

While everyone's attention was focused on the opening ceremony of the Cocoon game livestream, Thomas Sindora snatched the dagger from the Jack the Ripper statue beside him.

This is a real knife, incredibly sharp, capable of easily taking a life.

He walked step by step from the bright hall into the dim backstage, his sharp knife flashing in his hand, performing a knife trick. Although he had hardly ever held a knife in his life, he felt as if the sharp knife in his hand was his own arm.

Thomas Sindora moved toward the database where Tadaaki Mura was located.

He lowered his grip on the dagger and walked step by step toward where Cun Zhongbin was. All of this was recorded by the hidden surveillance cameras installed in the corridor.

Chen En frowned slightly as he watched the surveillance footage.

He noticed that Thomas Sindora seemed to actually have some skills. Judging from the level of combat specialization, this guy should at least have a low-level specialization in a single combat style. But this was too outrageous!

This old man is fifty-two years old. He has lived a life of luxury and has never touched a knife. Yet now he is demonstrating this level of footwork.
