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

Chapter 448 Chain Reaction

As it turns out, Tomoko Suzuki was not a fool.

No sooner had Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Jirokichi, and Chen En left the manor than Suzuki Tomoko realized that this group had set her up. Her face darkened, and she called Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko back.

As a result, Sonoko Suzuki's plan to take Chen En out for a celebratory outing today was completely ruined.

However, Tomoko Suzuki showed no intention of withdrawing the previous betting agreement.

After careful consideration, she felt that the deal was relatively worthwhile, and she had no reason to break her promise and withdraw the agreement, thus damaging her admirable image in front of her daughter.

Besides, this is just a matter of money moving from one hand to the other, so it doesn't cause any problems.

Before leaving, Jirokichi Suzuki, who had originally planned to go to the new corporate headquarters building with Chen En, told Chen En with a sigh that he had already delivered the Noah's Ark supercomputer to the new company.

When Chen En goes to the headquarters building, remember to unpack and test it to see if there are any problems.

In response, Chen En naturally prepared to head to the new company's headquarters to inspect the Noah's Ark supercomputer. As the saying goes, it's better to have the money in hand than to be caught without risk. The creation of a supercomputer capable of running Noah's Ark and Cocoon games was a matter of chance.

If it were truly destroyed, he estimated that it would take him and Noah's Ark and Professor Agasa quite some time to reconstruct it.

Although, relatively speaking, the macroscopic time frame of the Detective Conan worldview is worthless.

But his sensory time is still very valuable, and he doesn't intend to spend the extra time developing a new supercomputer, as that would seriously affect his development plans.

However, just as Chen En was preparing to go directly to the new corporate headquarters building,

His phone rang somewhat abruptly.

Chen En took out his phone, glanced at the messages, and then sighed.

It seems he has other things to take care of.

The timeline for checking the supercomputer capable of running Noah's Ark will have to be postponed.

This is a call from Shuichi Akai.

Tokyo, FBI Provisional Headquarters.

James Black is typing on the keyboard.

Shuichi Akai had already reported to him what happened at the Beika Municipal Building last night, so he was currently processing the investigation information on the three snipers online.

Although in some places, a dual-track information processing method has already been implemented at this point in time.

However, as a relatively advanced intelligence organization in electronic technology, the FBI naturally does not have enough trust in the confidentiality of information from online channels. Therefore, the FBI now uses a two-tiered information processing method.

This means that after an action or investigation is completed, the information is archived on paper and then an electronic copy is uploaded to the database.

This explains why Chen En hadn't found any information about the three snipers after scanning the FBI database several times.

The FBI did not use online channels to transmit information, but instead used a confidential fax machine. Personnel information was not archived. All of these were only archived and sealed after the security review was completed, just like the investigation files of Melancholy.

Unbeknownst to them, the FBI defeated Batman, who possessed advanced technology, with its inferior information processing methods.

Of course, James Black, completely unaware that the FBI had tricked Batman, simply kept filing the information.

Originally, Scott Green, Timothy Hunter, and Kevin Yoshino were only suspected of committing the crime. Headquarters ordered them to undergo a security review, which would normally be a very complicated process.

But that's no longer necessary, because all three have been officially confirmed dead by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

There's no need to investigate any information about a dead person; just mark them as deceased and that's it.

"James, was it Shuichi who made the shot this time?"

Judith Taylor asked hesitantly,

Normally, she should have been investigating the theft at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department last night with other FBI agents, but because of her previous investigation into the Mud Party, she discovered the connection between the three snipers, which proved to be a great help.

Therefore, James Black deliberately gave Judith Sterling a day off so she could rest a bit.

However, there are no classes at Teitan High School today.

Judith Sterling wasn't really interested in playing games, so she decided to harass James Black at the FBI's temporary headquarters.

What she's curious about now is whether the person who took action against the sniper near the Beika Municipal Building last night was Shuichi Akai. If so, then the person who infiltrated the local headquarters earlier was also Shuichi Akai.

Although she was merely Shuichi Akai's ex-girlfriend

However, she still harbored some unusual feelings for Shuichi Akai, after all, her breakup with Shuichi Akai was due to his need to infiltrate the Black Organization, something she had no choice but to do.

She was puzzled as to why Shuichi Akai had returned to Tokyo but hadn't come to see her, as if he was hiding something from her.

Shuichi Akai would never have done something like this before.

In response, James Black glanced sideways at Judy Stairyn.

He paused for a moment, then nodded and answered.

"That's true."

James Black knew Judy Stairland better than anyone else in the world today.

Twenty years ago, when Judith Stairland was consumed by anger and hatred after losing both her parents to Vermouth, it was James Black who persuaded her to join the witness protection program.

Even Judy Sterling's current inclusion in the FBI was arranged and orchestrated by James Black.

He naturally knew about the relationship between Judith Taylor and Shuichi Akai.

However, he couldn't say much. Should he say that after Shuichi Akai infiltrated the Black Organization, he deliberately approached Akemi Miyano to trick her into giving him information, but ended up getting himself caught up in the deception and risking his life to come to Tokyo to rescue Akemi Miyano?

He approved Miyano Akemi's witness protection program, and he knows the details of the matter very well.

Therefore, James Black simply rubbed his forehead and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, Akai said that when he was conducting a counter-sniping operation against three criminal suspects at the Beika City Hall, he encountered Gin, a codenamed member of the Black Organization, who was a formidable opponent."

"As you know, Akai is someone the Black Organization members would absolutely kill without hesitation."

"So, he's not coming to see you for your safety. I've already informed Akai to leave Tokyo temporarily to avoid trouble. He might come to see you in a while."

Although the possibility is not very high.

Hearing this, a hint of worry appeared in Judith Sterling's eyes.

All she can do now is hope that Shuichi Akai is safe and sound.

Chapter 449 Shuichi Akai's Fake Death Plan

"I'm going to fake my death to escape."

"The current situation is a bit complicated and difficult to handle."

"That's what the deeply sinful man said."

As the successor to the escape-type Newtype, Shuichi Akai is quite an authority in the field of escape. He has been chased and surrounded by the Black Organization many times, but he always manages to escape successfully and even turn the tables on them.

Previously, Vermouth had tried to kill Shuichi Akai but failed, and ended up almost being killed by Shuichi Akai instead.

That was the "Silver-Haired Serial Killer" incident. Vermouth almost fell to her death, and the people who saved her were Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri.

"You're faking your death to escape? What's your purpose?"

Chen En leaned against the wall and looked up at Shuichi Akai.

He was surprised by why Shuichi Akai suddenly made this decision, because Shuichi Akai didn't seem to have any reason to fake his death to escape, especially given his obvious hostility towards the Black Organization.

In the cat-and-mouse showdown, Shuichi Akai is able to stand on the cat's side and has no need to fear the mouse's threat.

Akemi Miyano has been sent away, Shiho Miyano is under his protection, Judith Sterling is surrounded by a large number of FBI agents, Hideyoshi Haneda's identity has not been determined, and Masumi Sera and Mary Akai have not yet arrived in Tokyo.

What reason did Shuichi Akai have for doing this?

Faced with Chen En's question, Shuichi Akai thought for a moment, then suddenly asked in return,

"Batman, I have something to ask you."

Do you know the true identity of the person who infiltrated the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department last night and stole information?

Upon hearing this, Chen En replied without changing his expression.

"The Black Organization's second-in-command, also known as Rum's confidant, codenamed Member Curaçao."

"The person who strafed the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department yesterday with an armed helicopter was probably a codenamed member of the Black Organization. I don't know exactly who it was, but I speculate that it was Ireland."

Ireland? Curaçao?

Shuichi Akai's brow furrowed slightly.

He knew about the Pacific Buoy Project and that the FBI had transferred information about its infiltrators within the Black Organization to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's database because this information from the FBI was not confidential to him.

The only FBI mole in the Black Organization is Shuichi Akai, the rye whiskey who has already defected from the organization.

However, he quickly used this to connect with other things.

Since the FBI did this, there's no reason why other intelligence organizations wouldn't provide the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with information on undercover agents. After all, this is a major global anti-crime project led by the United States, and the targets of the Curaçao theft are the undercover agent list.

Shuichi Akai turned to look at Chen En and asked,

"Batman, I'd like to know one thing: is bourbon whiskey on that list?"

He had already begun to suspect that Bourbon Whiskey was an undercover agent, just like Scotch Whiskey, and had focused his attention on the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Asking Chen En now was simply to confirm that.

Chen En simply replied...

"There should be, but it's not on the list that Curaçao took."

Akai Shuichi:?

What do you mean? You changed the list in the database?!

A hint of surprise flashed in Shuichi Akai's eyes.

From the moment he fled with Akemi Miyano and Chen En hacked their vehicle halfway through their escape, he knew that Chen En was highly skilled in electronics. However, he never expected that even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's confidential database would be completely useless against Chen En.

This guy's electronics skills are probably several stories high!
