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

However, without the Scarlet Witch's collection of books, relying only on fragments of magical knowledge from the magic market...

Could this guy have developed a pointy head from training?

I'll remind you later.

Conan said confidently.

"Let's go."

Chapter 993 White Horse Scout: How did you get into my house?

White Horse Manor.

As the Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Superintendent General Hakuba naturally owns his own manor.

Although it is still slightly lacking compared to those large families, the White Horse Manor is quite impressive in terms of scale, especially considering that it has risen to prominence in recent years.

Inside the White Horse Manor's study.

Hakuba Saguru, the only son of Superintendent General Hakuba, is flipping through a book here.

Just as Chen En had been secretly observing.

Hakuba Saguru learned of the existence of the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) through members of the Gold Watch Group. Using the Onmyōryō as a springboard, he made contact with the mystical world and successfully found the whereabouts of the Magic Market.

Then, by leveraging the White Horse family's connections and wealth, they easily acquired a large number of books from within the Magic Market.

He wasn't really interested in those props.

After coming into contact with North American exorcists, he realized one thing: never think that mystical sorcerers have a moral bottom line. They will only tell you with an even lower moral bottom line that they have no bottom line at all.

The amulet given to him by a North American exorcist even had a hypnotic effect, and the exorcist attempted to steal his bank account password.

After that, Hakuba Saguru resolved not to use those random magical items.

If he absolutely had to use it, he decided to teach himself magic and make it himself.

Even if he absolutely had to use magical artifacts made by others, he would have them inspected by a trusted magician several times until he was certain that there were no hidden doors or traps before he would use them.

As for who this trustworthy magician is?

Needless to say, it was his classmate Koizumi Akako from Ekoda High School.

Although he is now a student at Ekoda High School, he has actually only been to Ekoda High School a few times because he has a lot of things to do and cannot stay in high school all the time.

Besides, he had already completed those courses on his own.

As for Koizumi Akako's true identity...

For Hakuba Saguru, an expert at unpacking boxes, opening Koizumi Akako's boxes is a piece of cake.

In fact, even the books on magic he is currently reading may not all be true; there are bound to be many pitfalls or detours left by predecessors.

But Hakuba Saguru doesn't expect to learn magic from these books on magical knowledge.

He simply wanted to read through all the books on magic and see if he could combine the knowledge within to create a special magic book that could be used to wield magic.

Just like the content of a board game called D&D that he had seen abroad.

Memorizing spell slots through a spellbook, and then using those slots to cast spells...?

However, this is just a conjecture, and it remains to be seen whether things will actually turn out as he predicted. But Hakuba Saguru is certain of one thing now.

Compared to the ethereal creation of magic books.

He needs to focus on reality, for example, to confirm who the person in front of him is.

Hakuba Saguru slowly raised his head and looked at Conan, who had appeared in his line of sight at some point and stood up from the chair. A look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Hakuba Saguru: ?

Conan showed no sign of panic despite Hakuba Saguru's gaze; instead, he waved in greeting.

"good evening."

"I hope you'll say good evening to me, instead of asking me the next second how you got into my house?"

Hakuba asked instinctively.

"How did you get into my house?"

Then he realized that Conan seemed to have predicted what he was saying.

His face immediately darkened, and then he said.

"It seems Batman must have brought you here."

"What? Is there something you need from me?"

Upon hearing Hakuba Saguru's words, Conan jumped off the chair, came to Hakuba Saguru's side, and spoke seriously.

"I want to use your access to help me look up some things and contact someone."

"Someone has sent a murder threat to Uncle Mori. It seems they want to take action against him, and they've already carried out one assassination attempt, but it failed."

"I need you to help me contact Kimura, the owner of the phone number that issued the murder warning, and find out his whereabouts yesterday."

"Then help me retrieve the files of criminals who were arrested or imprisoned by Kogoro Mouri but have since been released."

Hakuba Saguru: ?

You're really arrogant, kid.

However, Hakuba Saguru simply took out a pocket watch from his pocket, opened it with a bang, glanced at the time, and then said.

"At 10:35 p.m. on April 13, high school detective Shinichi Kudo asked me for help."

Conan: ?

You little brat, you still have the nerve to call me arrogant?

However, just as Conan had predicted.

Hakuba Saguru answered without hesitation.

“I can help you. Come with me, and I’ll take you to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.”

"But I need to tell Dad about this. Could you look after Watson for me? I'll be back in about 5 minutes... Although Watson is a bird of prey, it won't peck people. Just don't tease it."

...Watson?

Conan subconsciously looked around.

Then my gaze fell on the falcon perched on the very top of the bookshelf.

Conan: ?

Wow, why is your falcon still out at this hour instead of being kept in its cage?

I was so short that I didn't even notice there was an eagle there!

He watched as Hakuba Saguru prepared to leave the study to find Superintendent Hakuba.

Conan quickly flipped through the books on magic that Hakuba Saguru had placed on his desk.

He immediately noticed that these books on magic knowledge clearly conflicted with the magic collection in the Bat Cave in some aspects, and then hurriedly said this to Hakuba Saguru, who was about to push open the book door and leave.

"Many of the magic books you bought are problematic."

"If you want to acquire magic, don't do it this way."

Upon hearing this, Hakuba Saguru paused for a moment, then turned to look at Conan.

Then he answered softly.

"Of course I know that, you don't need to remind me, Shinichi Kudo."

"I'll ask someone from the Onmyoji Bureau to help me confirm the specifics then."

Is it the Yin-Yang Bureau?

This is the kind of network that detectives, who are born into the police force, can mobilize.

Conan thought to himself.

I just regret that my dad didn't try hard enough.

If my father could become a writer as great as H.P. Lovecraft, then people from the mystical side would naturally come to him, and he could have come into contact with the mystical side much earlier.

At that very moment, Yusaku Kudo, who was at the Kudo residence, sneezed.

Yukiko Kudo, standing next to him, rested her chin on her hand and sighed.

"Sigh, that's strange. Why would someone suddenly seek revenge against Mori?"

"And, honey, why are you sneezing again? Has your flu gotten worse?"

Yusaku Kudo tightened his mask and then spoke.

"That's not true."

"As for the person seeking revenge against Mori... their identity might be quite unexpected."

Chapter 994 Uncle Suzuki, a man of unwavering determination

The headquarters building of the Suzuki Foundation.

Jirokichi Suzuki, an advisor to the Suzuki Foundation, had been waiting for a long time.

He looked through the list and related materials he had prepared for Chen En, and was further screening the list, since these people would be working for Chen En's company later.

If there were a few corporate spies or double agents among them, it could be very troublesome.

When Chen En made the trial version, he also sent a few units to Suzuki Jirokichi.

Although he hadn't dealt with these business matters for a long time since becoming a consultant, the shock brought to him by that smartphone seemed to instantly transport him back to his glorious youth when he was handling business.
