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

Chen En focused his attention on driving.

The Batmobile is already very fast these days; to outsiders, it's like a black lightning bolt. If it were to hit something at that speed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He was heading to the Ekoda area via the shortest route, and as if they knew exactly which way he would go, all the intersections along the way had green lights.

In fact, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department did know.

He works as a police officer in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

After contacting Yuya Kazami, Inspector Megure immediately reported to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department upon obtaining the location of the bomber's last explosion site.

Meanwhile, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department noticed that Batman was moving from the abandoned warehouse toward the Ekoda area.

They couldn't keep up with Batman's speed.

However, they don't need to keep up with Batman's speed; they only need to know which route is the shortest.

Before Batman arrived, officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had already dispatched nearby traffic police officers and traffic patrol cars to the scene to direct operations.

Ensure the Batmobile does not encounter any obstacles on the road to avoid delaying the best time for rescue.

Looking at the unobstructed roadway.

Ai Haibara said with some emotion.

"how to say?"

"Judging from this situation, it seems that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is not as useless as I had imagined."

If even vehicle condition management is not working.

Then the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department could just be declared disbanded.

My feelings about Ai Haibara.

Chen En didn't take it to heart.

However, he still asked.

"It seems you have something you want to ask me."

"Just ask. With no cars around, I can spare a little energy to answer your questions."

Upon hearing this...

Ai Haibara wasn't surprised that Chen En knew her true thoughts, and instead asked him directly.

"What's with that red hood?"

“I just asked Noah’s Ark, and he told me that the red hooded man’s true identity is bourbon whiskey.”

"But didn't you discover during your previous investigation that Bourbon Whiskey was already dead?"

Bourbon whiskey may be dead.

However, it's rather unlikely that bourbon whiskey is dead.

Chen En thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Before Chen En could answer, Ai Haibara asked again, her attitude serious.

"I can tell that his physical fitness and combat ability seem to be stronger than before."

"Back when we were at the Suzuki Foundation headquarters."

"You can take him down in one move and disable his fighting ability by fighting bourbon whiskey."

"But you've been struggling to defeat Bourbon Whiskey even with the red hood on. Could the red hood grant Bourbon Whiskey some special power, making him stronger?"

Her doubts were impossible to conceal.

And she linked the unusual behavior of the bourbon whiskey to the mysterious aspects that she had previously been quite interested in.

"Is this magic?"

"The magic you mentioned to Koizumi Akako earlier, was it something like a magical item with magical effects?"

Chen En was also unable to answer this question.

He didn't know what the thing on the red hood was all about, but he could guess that it was probably the hood that gave him the power.

This conclusion is drawn from the fact that there is a witch in a mysterious organization.

The witch was clearly an expert in crafting magical items.

Koizumi Akako once crafted a variety of mysterious and wonderful gadgets with special effects.

The Purple Witch, like Koizumi Akako, is one of the Seven Witches.

Creating magical items that produce other effects shouldn't be a problem either.

Therefore, the obviously unusual headgear of the red-headed hood is most likely a genuine magical artifact.

But to find out the truth, we'll have to ask Koizumi Akako, an expert in magic, when we have time.

I'm sure that Scarlet Witch would be happy to answer.

"I can only say it's probably a magical item."

Chen En answered calmly.

"But I can't give you a definite answer."

"Because I need to confirm it afterward. Only when I confirm that the red hood on Furuya Rei's head is indeed a magical item will I officially tell you that it is a magical item."

what is this?

Is it Batman's characteristic meticulousness?

Ai Haibara was at a loss for words when faced with this.

However, since Chen En said it's most likely a magical item, let's just assume it is.

That's truly enviable.

He even managed to encounter someone like Bourbon Whiskey, narrowly escape death after a dangerous encounter, and even gain magical items as a result.

How did I end up here with her?

Previously, he was locked in a gas chamber by the Black Organization. Not only did he not obtain any magical items, but he was also forced to use APTX-4869 to transform himself into the size of an elementary school student to escape.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

"Why is there signal jamming in the Ekoda area? This is too strange..."

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters Building.

Hakuba Saguru frowned.

I was quite surprised by what happened in the Ekoda area, because it just didn't make sense.

Where did this signal jamming come from?

What exactly could cause a district in Tokyo to enter a signal-blocked state, making normal communication between the inside and outside impossible?

"If that's the case..."

"Will it have some kind of magical effect?"

Hakuba Saguru said in a low voice.

Chapter 657 A Curse of Misfortune from Beyond the Planet

Is this the effect of magic?

"How strange, why is there suddenly such a large-scale magical influence?"

Koizumi Akako knelt in front of the magic circle.

To make casting spells easier, she had changed back into her usual mage uniform.

At this moment, she turned her head to look at the sky outside the window with some surprise, her brows furrowing slightly, wondering what exactly this magical effect, which could only be felt within the Ekoda region, was all about.

She originally intended to use magic to help Kaito Kuroba escape from being relentlessly pursued by members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

But the current situation is too alarming.

As a result, Koizumi Akako's attention was immediately diverted.

Kaito Kuroba is the second-generation Phantom Thief Kid.

Having escaped the clutches of masters such as Kyogoku Makoto, Chen En, and Hakuba Saguru.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department alone shouldn't be able to catch him, even if she doesn't pay much attention to it now.

However, the effects of this magic are different.

Is it possible that curse-type magic effects can have such a wide range of influence?

But this magical effect only interferes with communication? Why is that?

Could it be that simply interfering with communication could cause the target of a cursed spell to pay a heavy price, or even die?

Koizumi Akako couldn't understand it.

The butler, who was waiting outside Koizumi Akako's room, felt the magical fluctuations gradually disappear.

So he sighed and knocked on the door.

"Miss Hongzi."

"Have you completed the spell and helped the thief escape from the crime scene?"

"Although it was a bit disappointing."

"However, I still have to remind you that you don't need to invest too much energy in that phantom thief; it's not good for you."

Magicians and sorcerers are natural enemies.

"Each generation of the Crimson Witch has her own family precepts..."
