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

What happened?

Could it be that there are some special circumstances he's unaware of?!

"Mr. Chen En, could you please tell me what exactly happened?"

Ran Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Inspector Megure, why are you arresting Ms. Ozaki Midori?"

"What exactly happened?"

She was puzzled by this.

Since Midori Ozaki was the one who invited the Mori father and daughter to investigate the threatening letter, under normal circumstances, Midori Ozaki could not possibly be a criminal.

After all, Kogoro Mouri is a nationally renowned detective, and it's unthinkable to commit a crime in front of him.

Doesn't that mean it's the same as turning yourself in?

"Didn't the curtain just show the cause and effect?"

"The woman whose flower arranging skills were taken away by Okano Rika and Shiraki Daisuke, and who eventually committed suicide, also had the surname Ozaki. She was Ozaki Midori's older sister. Ozaki Midori planned to kill Shiraki Daisuke and Okano Rika to avenge her sister."

“I stopped Ozaki Midori from killing Shiraki Daisuke in the manager’s office, so she was arrested on charges of attempted murder.”

Chen En explained, then turned to look at Inspector Megure.

"According to the law, shouldn't there be a possibility of a reduced sentence for attempted murder committed out of revenge?"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure nodded.

As a criminal investigator in the Criminal Division, he would sometimes be present in court to present the facts of the case during sentencing hearings.

Therefore, Inspector Megure is quite knowledgeable about this matter.

I can guarantee that.

However, the matter is now closed, and Inspector Megure does not intend to discuss it further.

Now that Ran Mouri is here, he might as well talk about "that matter".

"Miss Mori, do you remember? On April 29th, you were involved in solving an assassination case."

"At the time, the murderer kidnapped a detective named Koichi Yamabe and attempted to assassinate a prosecutor who was traveling on a train."

"Inspector Megure said."

Oh, the episode about the mysterious message sniping incident.

Chen En, who was standing nearby, also recalled the relevant details of the case.

He remembered this because the murderer's actions were too incredible.

The murderer was a remnant of the violent gang, the Ghost Tiger Group.

In order to get revenge on the prosecutor who sent the entire Oni Tiger Group to prison, he plans to assassinate the prosecutor after his release.

Then, the killer's choice was neither to stab the prosecutor when he left the courtroom and then run away, nor to drug him somewhere, but to kidnap a police officer from Yu County from afar and have him snipe the prosecutor who was traveling by train.

This abstract method of murder is among the most outrageous in the world of Mikasa Shinjin TV.

Otherwise, Chen En would certainly not have any recollection of such an early murder case.

However, just as Chen En was recalling the plot, Inspector Megure continued,

"The prosecutor has just returned to the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office and is preparing to meet with you to express his gratitude."

"He asked me to ask you when you are free so he can express his gratitude in person."

Inspector Megure's words surprised Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri asked instinctively,

"Um... may I ask what the prosecutor's name is first?"

Inspector Megure gave the answer without hesitation.

"He is Makoto Kusakabe, the ace prosecutor of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office's Public Security Department."

Chen En: ?

What does it mean that Makoto Kusakabe has returned to Tokyo?

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Nine Gates of Ke Xue – the one that controls the situation, Kusakabe Makoto.

Makoto Kusakabe.

The Nine Gates of Detective Conan, which controls the situation, comes from the movie "Zero the Enforcer".

This extraordinary individual, who single-handedly pulled a satellite down and attempted to nuke the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, nearly brought the entire city of Tokyo to a standstill.

Upon hearing that the prosecutor was returning to Tokyo...

Chen En's expression immediately changed.

Dude, we're all still using flip phones.

You're telling me that Makoto Kusakabe has already evolved to the point where he can kill people using the Internet of Things and nuke the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with satellites? Are you going to tell me that the Zero the Enforcer movie is already about to start?

Rei Furuya hasn't even been released yet, and Makoto Kusakabe has already appeared?

"Is this Prosecutor Kusakabe?"

"I never expected him to be such a famous prosecutor. I'm sure Dad and Conan would be very happy to meet Prosecutor Kusakabe!"

Ran Mouri said with a smile.

For the residents of Beika Town, Makoto Kusakabe is not an unfamiliar name.

He is a top prosecutor in the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office's Public Security Department.

Makoto Kusakabe is a household name in Beika Town. The reason why a prosecutor who is in charge of almost all public security cases can have such a great influence is because Makoto Kusakabe is very effective in fighting crime.

Just like the Oni-Tiger Group, which was sent there by Makoto Kusakabe's entire family.

Makoto Kusakabe has imprisoned numerous similar violent gangs, loan sharking groups, and illegal pyramid schemes, but to this day, no one knows why he was able to obtain information about those illegal organizations.

However, if you ask Chen En this question...

Therefore, Chen En can give a very clear answer.

Makoto Kusakabe solves cases by going undercover.

He has an assistant named Futaba Nizoichi. Usually, Kusakabe Makoto prepares the indictment materials, and Futaba Nizoichi risks his life to infiltrate various illegal groups to collect evidence and play double agent.

Finally, Haba Nizo was arrested by the Japanese Public Security Bureau as a criminal.

As a result, Makoto Kusakabe became determined to make the Japanese Public Security Bureau pay the price for this, becoming a two-faced prosecutor who appeared to be impartial and incorruptible but actually committed multiple bombings.

"What? Makoto Kusakabe?"

"Huh? Is that the same Makoto Kusakabe who always goes against the Japanese Public Security Bureau and seeks help from the Criminal Investigation Department for every case? I thought it was some prosecutor who got arrested, but it turns out it's him."

Kogoro Mouri's voice came through.

Without turning his head, Chen En knew that Kogoro Mouri was most likely carrying a schoolboy who looked like a death god with a big bump on his head. He had just noticed that Kogoro Mouri seemed to be waking up.

I just assumed Conan would breathe on me when he came over, so I didn't remind him.

Kogoro Mouri has always been quite skilled at cooling down Conan's brain.

"If he's coming, then... tomorrow afternoon, I'm free tomorrow afternoon."

He said it casually.

He seemed completely unconcerned about the identity of the person he was meeting.

"I still have some things to do this morning, haha."

...You have nothing to do, you just want to catch up on sleep this morning, right?

Conan thought to himself as he was being grabbed by the back of his collar.

His sense of smell is far beyond that of ordinary people, comparable to that of a police dog.

He could identify chloroform and cyanide with just a sniff, and if the person wasn't dead, he could immediately pinpoint the smell. And he shared a room with Kogoro Mouri.

As a result, he smelled a peculiar odor as soon as he entered the room, and had no choice but to stay at Professor Agasa's house for the night.

Kogoro Mouri is probably making up this lie because he wants to catch up on sleep after what happened with Aunt Ki yesterday!

"Is there something you need to do...?"

Ran Mouri turned her head curiously to look at Kogoro Mouri.

How come she didn't know there were things to do tomorrow morning?

I haven't received any appointment requests all day tomorrow. Could it be that Dad is taking on side jobs?

However, despite her doubts, Ran Mouri didn't ask any further questions.

I'm sure Dad must have his reasons for doing this, right?

"Tomorrow afternoon... Okay, I understand."

"Brother Mori, I'll mention it to Prosecutor Kusakabe when I get back."

Inspector Megure noted this information down.

Then, he immediately waved goodbye to Chen En and Kogoro Mouri.

"Well then, I'll be going now. There are still quite a few cases at headquarters that I need to write reports for."

"Brother Chen En, Brother Mao Li, see you tomorrow... ah, see you next time!"

He almost blurted out "See you tomorrow."

Although these two brothers, along with Conan, are incredibly lucky—their luck is like a case-triggering machine, causing his performance to increase by one or two every day.

However, you can't necessarily encounter a heinous murder every day, right?
