"What?! The middle school detective who single-handedly solved a heinous murder case three years ago, did good deeds anonymously, and was incredibly impressive in my eyes was actually you, Kudo?!"

Conan: ?

My parents were there taking photos, and you still didn't recognize me?

Conan couldn't hold back for a moment.

How come they actually had contact a long time ago? Why does he basically remember nothing about it?

Are these really not settings added later?

Chapter 921 Isn't my Bat Cave going to fall into the hands of villains?

"Oh, why didn't you say so sooner? It was Yusaku Kudo who helped you solve the case back then?"

"I still think you solved the case on your own, and I'm too ashamed to face you."

"Didn't Uncle Pingzang remind you about your situation too? Same here."

Heiji Hattori and Conan went over the details of the Yuki-onna murder case from three years ago, exchanged greetings, and then temporarily put the matter aside.

He then turned his gaze to the large screen on Noah's Ark, looking at the various monitoring images on it with some shock.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit illegal, Brother Chen En?"

Chen En: ?

I feel like I've heard this phrase somewhere before.

Chen En turned his head to look at Hattori Heiji, his eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a hint of disapproval.

"Was it legal for you to eavesdrop on other people's houses last time?"

Hattori Heiji:?

Oh my, I tested it, how did you know?

He awkwardly scratched his cheek and then said sheepishly.

"Haha, what kind of detective work is that? Can you call it eavesdropping?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Heiji Hattori subtly changed the subject.

He then asked with some curiosity.

"I never even dared to think about things like dealing with superpowered assassins from mysterious organizations before, but these kinds of things are very dangerous, and they might even affect civilians."

"Was this discussed with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department beforehand? Without police involvement, there could be casualties, right?"

Hearing this, Conan shook his head slightly.

Well known.

The Bat Family never works with the police.

Unless it's a city-wide bombing caused by that genius from the Dongchen Society last time, and the commotion is so great that the Bat Family simply can't handle it on their own, they won't notify the police.

However, just as Conan was about to answer Hattori Heiji directly, Chen En said something.

"Of course, we need to settle accounts with the police first."

"With the help of the police, this plan could be described as achieving twice the result with half the effort."

Chen En's words prompted Conan, who was standing next to him, to type a few question marks.

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

You never call the police for help normally, why did you only call them this time? It makes me look stupid. Did you call Inspector Nakamori? It would have been better not to call him at all.

Not only Conan frowned, but even Ai Haibara asked with some confusion.

"Who in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department did you notify?"

"Superintendent Hakuba, or Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi?"

When faced with this question, Chen En simply answered calmly.

"Of course it's Hakuba Saguru."

Upon hearing the name Hakuba Saguru.

Hattori Heiji scratched his head and said with some confusion.

"Hakuba Saguru? Who's that?"

"I don't think I've ever heard of this person. What's their connection to Superintendent General Hakuba? Some other high-ranking official in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? That's strange. If so, I should have heard of them before."

His father, Hattori Heizo, was the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters.

Although he himself was not very concerned about the situation at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he had learned about the high-ranking officials there through his own observations.

He didn't recall having a high-ranking officer in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with the surname Hakuba.

"Hakuba Saguru is the son of Superintendent General Hakuba of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"Although his fame in China is limited to Tokyo, he is a well-known high school detective in England. His abilities should not be underestimated; he may be no less capable than me."

Conan glanced at Heiji Hattori, then began to introduce the relevant information about Saguru Hakuba.

"However, compared to you, Hattori, it should be slightly higher."

"Moreover, he is highly regarded by Superintendent General Hakuba. Several operations by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were commanded by Hakuba, including but not limited to the bomb crisis that involved the entire city of Tokyo last time."

Hattori Heiji nodded blankly.

If that's the case, then Hakuba Saguru seems to be really amazing.

Although he is the son of the highest-ranking officer in the local police system, he does not have such authority at the Osaka Police Headquarters. If he dared to tell his father at the Osaka Police Headquarters that he wanted to control the Osaka police force, he would be in a different position.

His own father would definitely take out a wooden sword and whip him until he's spinning like a top.

...Wait, what do you mean by "not below you, but a bit taller than me"?

Heiji Hattori finally caught the key words in Conan's words.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately spoke.

"We are both famous high school detectives of equal renown. There is no question of us being inferior to you or superior to you."

"If he's stronger than me, then he's definitely stronger than you. If he's on par with you, then he's definitely on par with me. You little brat, you're trying to lower my standards as a detective, aren't you?"

That being said, let's just look at the industry of high school detectives.

If Conan and Hakuba Saguru are considered to be at the top tier (T0) in the industry, then Hattori Heiji would likely be relegated to the top tier (T0.5).

Chen En, who was standing next to him, secretly complained to himself.

However, his emotional intelligence isn't so low that he would say these things directly.

Although Hattori Heiji's wooden sword posed no threat to him, he didn't intend to fight Hattori Heiji unless absolutely necessary.

As everyone knows, I, Batman, am not a fighter; I prefer to defuse conflicts.

He is a true pacifist.

"Do you need our help with this operation?"

A familiar voice echoed inside the bat cave.

Ye Caisan, who was temporarily serving as the steward of Chen En Manor, appeared in everyone's sight, while Curaçao followed closely behind Ye Caisan and came over together.

Ai Haibara's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Curaçao's scheming, evil hand.

She took a step back, coming behind Chen En, and using Chen En's powerful intimidation as Batman, successfully made Curaçao abandon her original plan to pat his head, leaving him dejected.

"We don't need your help this time."

Chen En said in a rather polite tone.

"The situation isn't that dangerous yet, so I'm asking you to stay in the bat cave."

Of course, Ye Caisan and Curaçao couldn't possibly be of no help.

After all, the former was a criminal strategist who was famous in Tokyo 20 years ago, while Curaçao was the second-in-command of the Black Organization, an elite member of the Black Organization in the absolute sense.

But if Conan brings the two of them along, he'll have to breathe on them.

Last night, Conan learned the true identities of Ye Caisan and Curaçao.

He directly requested that Ye Caisan and Curaçao not participate in their operation. In order to take care of the silly roe deer at home, Chen En simply let Ye Caisan and Curaçao stay at the bat cave.

Conan, standing nearby, was still staring at Ye Caisan and Curaçao, his eyes showing disapproval.

In fact, he felt that leaving the two bat caves behind was not a very safe option.

What if Ai Haibara and Noah's Ark, the two members of the Bat Family, are left to guard the Bat Cave and can't defeat Ye Cai San and Curaçao? Wouldn't my Bat Cave fall into the hands of villains?

How can this be allowed? We must take decisive action!

"If there are no problems, let's confirm today's action plan."

Chen Enshun reached out and patted Ai Haibara's head, who was hiding behind him.

Then, ignoring the question mark that appeared above Ai Haibara's head, he spoke directly.

Chapter 922 Chen En's Plan

"Today's main venue is the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall, which I won't go into too much detail about."

"Let's talk about the enemies we might encounter today."

"Three assassins with supernatural abilities who do not hesitate to kill without hesitation."

"One of them is codenamed Spider. His real identity is Günter von Goldberg II, the world's number one illusionist. Under normal circumstances, his illusions can only control dozens of people, but with prior arrangements, he can control up to several thousand people."
