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

I believe that even if Mud God is completely powerless against Batman, he would at most be severely injured, just to the point of slightly breaking a branch, if he were to be ambushed by Batman.

Just as Guhe Teng was pondering,

He sensed something was wrong. It wasn't that he had discovered anything, but his intuition told him that something seemed off about the room. He instinctively turned around to look behind him.

This was his familiar office, every corner of which showcased his wealth.

However, this familiar office felt strange at this moment, as if something else had infiltrated it and was hiding in some shadowy place, something you knew but couldn't find.

This feeling usually only appears in supporting characters in horror movies.

Furukawa Teng never imagined he would become a weak supporting character in a horror movie.

Even if he were to become a character in a horror movie, he could only be the number one villain who brings killing and fear, and would never be some minor character who dies silently and only screams like a woman.

However, Furukawa Teng is now really feeling something is off.

His senses were screaming warnings at him, but he just couldn't find the problem.

Furukawa Teng's eyes narrowed slightly.

His fingers were placed on the hidden switch of the cane. If he wanted, he could instantly turn the cane into a deadly weapon, which, combined with his superb fighting skills, would be enough to easily kill many people.

Perhaps not enough to face Batman, but enough to protect oneself.

He slowly walked towards his desk.

Furukawa Teng installed an emergency button under his desk.

As soon as he presses the button, the other members of the Dongchen Society will realize that the office is under attack and rush to his aid, allowing him to escape danger.

Although it was late at night and there weren't many members left in the headquarters building, it was still about one-tenth of the usual number.

After all, this is Beika Town, and Furukawa Teng is well aware that the shadow of death and crisis always hangs over everyone. Therefore, he always maintains a certain number of people inside the headquarters building as a guard and security force.

Of course, this counts as overtime, and he will pay the corresponding overtime pay.

However, the moment Furukawa Teng arrived at the desk,

The lights went out instantly, plunging everything into darkness. A look of horror appeared in Furukawa Teng's eyes. He realized that if the person who made the move was indeed Batman, then Batman most likely did not intend to talk to him.

Based on his memory, Furukawa Teng quickly reached for the button, but his arm was grabbed and he couldn't move.

He subconsciously pressed the hidden switch on his cane.

Under the moonlight, the blade suddenly extended from the cane and slashed sharply towards the spot where someone might be.

However, the cane also stopped in mid-air and could not be moved.

"The president of the Dongchen Association, Guhe Teng."

I came for you.

Batman's voice is hoarse and deep.

At that moment, the moonlight finally illuminated the man's figure, revealing Batman's full form to Furukawa Teng.

This was the first time that Furukawa Teng had ever seen a real Batman and Batsuit in real life.

But as a weapon expert, he immediately noticed that the bat emblem on Chen En's bat suit chest seemed a bit off. It looked less like a bat emblem and more like a double-edged axe that hadn't been removed.

Batman who turned his bat symbol into weapons?

Damn it, he had never seen a Batsuit like this in comics or movies. This subtle difference seemed to be telling him that it was absolutely unwise to mistake the Batman in front of him for the Batman in the comics.

"What...what do you want to know?"

Guhe Teng asked in a low voice,

His voice trembled slightly, not as a pretense, but because he was genuinely frightened.

The fact that Batman was able to enter his office silently, without anyone reporting his whereabouts to him, suggests that if Batman intended to kill someone, he probably wouldn't see the sun rise the next day.

To express goodwill, Furukawa Teng simply released his cane and abandoned his weapon.

He took a step back, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at Batman in front of him, and awkwardly straightened his tie, seemingly trying to regain some of his mafia boss aura.

However, both Chen En and Gu Heteng knew that Gu Heteng didn't have such a thing at all.

Just as Chen En had previously mocked Professor Moriarty in the Cocoon game for being neither Moriarty nor the Joker, the current Furukawa Teng, as a mafia boss, was imitating the life of the upper class and had gradually become a hybrid of the two.

He has neither the air of a mafia boss nor the air of an upper-class person, making him seem like a mismatched pair.

This is precisely why both Takeo Miura and Natsufusa Kido felt that Toru Furukawa was nothing more than a comical clown, and could not be compared to them at all.

But Furukawa Teng doesn't need the approval of others.

He simply wanted to become the person he imagined himself to be, so he put his hands in his suit pockets, trying his best to maintain a composed demeanor, and then asked again.

"Batman, what do you want to know? You're not here to kill me, are you?"

Chapter 438 Reaping the Rewards Without Sowing

At this moment, the night sky shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the top floor of the Dongchen Club headquarters building.

Chen En stared at the powerful figure from the Dongchen Society before him, remaining silent.

He was considering it and waiting for the right time, because he had already used the Scarecrow's Fear Gas once today. If he wanted to use it again, he would have to wait until the status was refreshed at 00:00.

"Three minutes."

Chen En said.

There are three minutes left until midnight.

Furukawa Teng had three minutes to impress him.

Regardless of the meaning of the appeal, this was Furukawa Teng's last chance, and he immediately picked up his night vision watch. The dial emitted a faint glow in the darkness, allowing him to see clearly.

The three minutes Batman mentioned refers to three minutes until midnight, but it's probably also his final deadline.

Guhe Teng's expression changed several times, as if he had opened a dye shop, and he said,

"Batman, I don't know your true identity, but I want to say that we're in cahoots."

“You have an inseparable relationship with the Suzuki Group. You may be a mercenary for the Suzuki Group, or a special advisor or something similar. From this perspective, you should share the Suzuki Group’s fate, whether it prospers or suffers.”

"And I, and my Dongchen Society, are undoubtedly in league with the Suzuki Group."

"During the time you were away from Tokyo, I was assisting the Suzuki Foundation in dealing with the Steel Association. Without me, the Suzuki Foundation would have suffered far greater losses than they have now. On the Suzuki Foundation's side, we are on the same side!"

As he spoke, he observed Batman's expression.

Batman has no expressive features, so you can't judge his emotional state by looking at his chin, can you?

Realizing that doing so was pointless, Furukawa Teng didn't waste any time and immediately changed his story.

"I know you. You are both Batman and Phantom Thief Kid."

“What you’re doing isn’t for profit, but for fame. You want to gain fame from theft and crime fighting. You crave recognition, and so do I, except I need profit.”

"We can absolutely cooperate, each getting what we need, and the entire underground world can be controlled by you and me!"

As he spoke, Furukawa Teng glanced down at his watch.

Half of the three minutes had passed. His eyelids twitched, and he felt an immense crisis approaching. Without hesitation, he continued...

“I know you probably think that I and Steel are on the same side, both entrusted and supported by the same group of people.”

"However, I have long since severed ties with that group. From beginning to end, I have never done anything to harm you or the Suzuki Group. Moreover, I have now turned over a new leaf, and all my businesses are legitimate!"

The sex industry, pachinko gambling, and several counterfeit pharmaceutical companies.

These industries are all legal under the current laws of the country, and they are all highly profitable. Guhe Teng's claim that he has "cleaned up his act" and that his businesses are all legal is somewhat plausible.

However, Chen En was certain that Gu Heteng was still hiding a lot of things somewhere in secret.

Just like the Steel Society, which is dead but not dead, the remnants and legacy of Takeo Miura have not been fully found to this day. The Mud Society may have been weakened by the combined attack of multiple forces and was not well prepared, but the East Star Society is definitely not.

Time slowly ticked down to the final sixty seconds.

Leaning against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, Furukawa Teng continued speaking in rapid succession.

"Are you seeking revenge because I sent an inside agent to the Muddy Sandwich Association to contact Makoto Kusakabe? In fact, the information provided by that inside agent was completely true. The Muddy Sandwich Association is my opponent, so it's normal for me to use their strength against them, isn't it?"

"That shouldn't be considered deception, and I never intended to use that inside man to harm you."

Batman didn't say a word the whole time.

This left Furukawa Teng unsure whether Kusakabe Makoto had any connection with Batman, or whether Batman had discovered the true identity of the mole he had infiltrated. Revealing information like this was undoubtedly a losing proposition.

However, losing money is better than having no business at all. The Guhe family has always been a trading family, so he certainly understands this.

Therefore, Guhe Teng gritted his teeth and continued,

"The person who contacted me is most likely one of the powerful figures in Tokyo. I'm certain that among the guests at the Beika City Hall, there are definitely members of that organization. Moreover, I found out that the Mud Ginseng Association recently acquired a batch of equipment."

"I can tell you the location of that batch of equipment, but I haven't had a chance to take it yet!"

"Furthermore, if you kill me, the underworld of Beika Town will be leaderless. You should understand that order is necessary. You might be able to rebuild the underworld order after you kill me, but—and I mean, but..."

"There will definitely be a period of inactivity during this time, and some people will die because of it. Are you going to sacrifice those people?"

The last ten seconds.

Chen En grabbed Gu Heteng by the collar and lifted him up.

Furukawa Teng instinctively struggled in mid-air, his black and white formal attire making him resemble a comical penguin trying to break free from the clutches of an evil predator. He concluded by saying...

"I can provide you with information; you'll definitely need it!"

"Batman, you may know a lot, but you can't know everything, especially in the dark places where light can't reach! I will provide you with intelligence, I can maintain order underground, and I can help more people survive!"

"Trust me, keeping me here will only bring you benefits!"

thud

The clock struck midnight, signifying that it was now midnight.

Furukawa Teng instinctively closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, the office lights were back on. He landed on the floor, and Batman was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as his legs went weak and he was about to stand up,
