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

The most ethical exorcist in all of North America?

Is this talking about morality from the opposite perspective?

Hakuba Saguru raised an eyebrow, realizing that the North American exorcist had an ulterior motive, and then said directly with a dark face.

"It sounds like you have something else to say."

"If you have anything else to say, you'd better say it now to avoid any unforeseen consequences due to inappropriate communication later."

"For example, Batman knocks on your door in the middle of the night, or your account is frozen for unknown reasons."

Upon hearing the name Batman, the North American exorcist coughed twice.

He was about to say something.

Then Hakuba Saguru immediately realized something was wrong and said with some suspicion.

"Your expression was noticeably off when Batman was mentioned just now."

"You don't have some kind of unpleasant experience with Batman, do you?"

The high school detective, who is quite famous in the British region, stroked his chin.

He quickly began to recall all the information he had heard about Chen En during this time, then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He looked up at the North American exorcist who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and said.

"Oh, so you're the one who lied to Batman?"

Upon hearing this, the North American exorcist showed a hint of shock.

Dude, how did you know that?

Did Batman also spread the news that he had been deceived?

However, now that Hakuba Saguru already knows, the North American exorcist has no reason to deny it.

He sighed, shrugged, and then said.

"Yes, just as you said."

"I tricked Batman a little with a magical material."

"So unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't plan to meet with Batman. Otherwise, something unforeseen might happen that neither of us would want to see. I'll stay behind the scenes for tomorrow's operation."

"Anyway, your operation needs someone to act as insurance, doesn't it?"

"If nothing unexpected happens to your plan, then I won't intervene."

However, to the surprise of the North American exorcists, Hakuba Saguru exclaimed in amazement.

"You tricked Batman a little?"

"I don't think that was just a small trick."

What do you mean by that?

A hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the North American exorcist.

However, before the North American exorcist could ask further questions, Hakuba Saguru stated directly.

"Based on what I know."

"You extorted a full $1.77 trillion from Batman using just one magical material!"

Do you think this is a very small number?

North American exorcists: ?

How much? One trillion seven hundred and seventy billion US dollars!?

Do you really think that if I had extorted $1.777 trillion from Batman, I would still be sitting here talking to you? I would have run away with the money long ago!

The North American exorcist instantly turned red.

You, Batman, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I thought you were an honest man.

I never expected them to pull this trick on me!

I treat you like a superhero, and you treat me like I'm settling scores, huh?

One trillion seven hundred and seventy billion US dollars?

Did you buy the entire Times Square in New York, or what?

His expression changed several times before he finally spoke.

"Hakuba Saguru, you understand me."

"If I had swindled a trillion dollars, I would have run away with the money long ago. There must be some misunderstanding here, or Batman is spreading rumors about me."

Even if you don't let me go to the event tomorrow, I still have to go!

"If my competitors really think I cheated them out of $1.777 trillion, how am I supposed to ever work in North America again? Wouldn't that be the end of me?"

His moral standards are among the lowest in the North American exorcist profession.

However, this does not mean that his colleagues are much more morally upright than him.

If he earns over a trillion dollars through his missions, his competitors might not bother with him. But if he swindles someone out of over a trillion dollars, his competitors will definitely rush to get rid of him.

Putting everything else aside, the more than one trillion US dollars that are not protected by law are incredibly tempting.

Why do these two words, "Chapter 919," seem to have their own background music?

"Shocking! Batman attacks biker gang late at night; biker gang leader, a young girl, cries out, 'Why?'"

"Is Batman's sudden attack on criminals who pose such a minor threat a sign of moral decay or a distortion of humanity? Let's hear what Kikuna Kentani, the young leader of the biker gang, has to say."

"Batman, I'm at 8 AM! I (voice muted)"

"Uh, sorry, there was a small mishap during the live stream. Let's move on to the next news item."

The living room of the Mori Detective Agency.

While having breakfast, Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and the others watched the morning news in Beika Town. They felt that the female leader of the biker gang named Kikuna Kagaya, who appeared in the news, looked somewhat familiar.

But I can't remember where I saw it right now.

But what if Conan were also watching TV in the living room?

He could immediately recognize that the so-called biker gang member being interviewed by the reporter was one of the three criminal suspects previously suspected by the police.

According to the police, Kikuna Kentani's attitude was quite arrogant at the time.

I never expected it to turn out like this in the blink of an eye. What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

"I wonder if Batman has had this much free time lately."

"Instead of dealing with heinous murders, you're going to target motorcycle gangs that are disturbing the peace?"

Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself as he ate.

"If Batman is really that free lately, when can he come and help me with all those missing cats I've got? I feel like I'm going to waste another day looking for cats."

His words aroused the curiosity of Toyama Kazuha, who was sitting next to him.

Kazuha turned her head to look at Kogoro Mouri and said with some surprise.

"Uncle Mori, as a nationally renowned detective, do you usually only handle small cases like finding cats?"

Mori Kogoro:?

Oh no, I forgot you were sitting here too.

Damn it, it's all that charcoal-headed guy's fault! He dragged Conan out first thing in the morning. I thought you went out with him too. I really miscalculated. Let me think of how to fill this gap...

An awkward smile appeared on his face as he tried to make amends.

"Oh dear, how could that be?"

"I am the number one detective in the country, Kogoro Mouri. How could I possibly do something like finding a lost cat? It's just that the old man next door is so pitiful that I couldn't bear to see him like that, so I helped him find his cat."

"This absolutely cannot be the kind of commissioned task that I'm usually busy with, absolutely not!"

Hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Ran Mouri nodded and said earnestly.

"Yes, yes, Dad doesn't usually look for cats."

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up.

Good, good, Xiaolan's emotional intelligence has finally improved.

Usually, when we get to similar topics, she's the one who sabotages me. But today she actually covered for me. That's really something. I'm curious to hear what kind of cover-up Xiaolan came up with for me this time.

Then he heard Ran Mouri say it with a straight face.

"My dad usually investigates other people's extramarital affairs."

"Don't let Dad's usual sloppy appearance and infrequent outings fool you; he's quite the expert at investigating extramarital affairs. He can easily uncover the truth behind infidelity and gather evidence."

Mori Kogoro:?

Then just say I'm usually looking for cats.

His face darkened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Kazuha, who was standing next to him, was also taken aback.

She doesn't really know much about the detective industry. The only detective around her is the high school detective Hattori Heiji, but Hattori Heiji obviously doesn't take on these kinds of cases involving extramarital affairs or finding cats.

Therefore, upon hearing that even a famous detective like Kogoro Mouri usually handles cases involving investigating extramarital affairs by finding cats.

For a moment, I felt a sense of shattering of my illusions about the detective industry.

The main thought was that if Heiji Hattori were to become a detective after he grew up, he might end up like Kogoro Mouri, searching for cats or investigating extramarital affairs...

However, before Kazuha could respond to Ran Mouri's words, the door to the living room was pushed open by someone.

"We've come to bother you again today!"

Instead, Sera Masumi and Hondo Eisuke appeared before Kazuha, Ran Mouri, and Kogoro Mouri.

Two transfer students from Teitan High School rushed to the Mouri Detective Agency, only to find that the second floor, which mainly received guests and handled business, was not yet open, so they went straight to the third floor.
