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

"Was what you told me earlier true?"

"Is Makoto Kusakabe really the kind of person who's so obsessed with nuking the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?"

"What were you pointing out to Makoto Kusakabe? A person?"

Conan has many questions he wants answered.

Chen En answered calmly and affirmatively.

"of course."

“I saw a blond man with dark skin, only slightly paler than Hattori Heiji, standing there watching.”

“Originally, I couldn’t be sure of that person’s identity, but Makoto Kusakabe reacted very quickly, which made me know the identity of the stalker, his name… and even his code name.”

Batman in Beika Town already knows the identity of the stalker.

Bourbon Whiskey of the Black Organization, Zero Section member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and Furuya Rei, who goes by the alias Amuro Tooru.

This refers to the period during which this person was active in Tokyo.

It happened earlier than Chen En had anticipated.

Perhaps it's due to the butterfly effect caused by his actions since his transmigration, or perhaps it's because this world isn't entirely the same as the comics and anime records from his previous life.

That's not important; he only needs to confirm that the part of the information he needs hasn't changed.

"A code name?"

Conan muttered to himself about this somewhat novel term.

If what Chen En said is true.

Makoto Kusakabe harbors deep hatred for the Japanese Public Security Bureau, so the person who elicited such a strong reaction from him must undoubtedly be a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

However, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department does not normally use code names, unless they are agents carrying out special missions.

It seems that the Japanese public security officer who was tracking Makoto Kusakabe is quite influential.

Conan frowned and asked,

"Who is he?"

"Acquaintances you will frequently encounter in the future."

Chen En said casually,

"The Japanese Public Security Bureau's undercover agent in the Black Organization, codenamed Bourbon Whiskey, is a good guy, I guess. His current name is Amuro Tooru, and his real name is Furuya Rei. You can write this information down for now; it might come in handy if you run into him again in the future."

"For example, if you're about to be killed by bourbon whiskey one day, shouting 'Rei Furuya' three times might just get you released."

In his memory, although Furuya Rei was on the red team and could be considered a good person, his style of doing things was actually similar to that of Kusakabe Makoto.

The main approach is to do whatever is most advantageous.

In order to lure out Makoto Kusakabe, they used their status as Japanese public security officers to forcibly arrest Kogoro Mouri, falsely accuse him of being a bomber, and almost sent him to the Ministry of Public Security's court for sentencing.

In order to elevate her status within the organization, after confirming on the train that Ai Haibara's identity was Sherry, she planned to notify Vermouth to bring Ai Haibara back to the organization, almost causing Ai Haibara to be sent to her death along with the train carriage.

In the manga, Conan was very open with Shuichi Akai of the FBI early on, but treated Rei Furuya of the Japanese Public Security Bureau like a thief.

The reason is here.

The reputation of the Japanese Public Security Bureau is notoriously bad in Japan. To be honest, Chen En also doesn't trust this kind of intelligence organization that even its own people can't trust. Unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't plan to contact Furuya Rei.

After all, his actions against Teiji Moriya as Batman were actually in a gray area.

In Furuya Rei's eyes, he's probably the type who can be sacrificed. If he gets in touch with him, Furuya Rei might sell his information to the Black Organization as a bargaining chip for promotion one day.

Although that probably wouldn't kill him, it's still disgusting.

"...Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask this before."

"Why are you cooking with Ran at the office? And Uncle Mori looks really tired, what did you two do this morning?"

Conan stopped discussing the topic.

Then the topic turned to what happened that morning.

In response, Chen En raised his eyebrows and recounted the story about Tsukigata Ryutaro.

Then, he saw Conan say in surprise,

"It's Mr. Saruhashi and the others? I remember them; they visited Uncle Mori at the office back then."

Chen En: ?

Do you remember them? Kogoro Mouri said they came about six months ago.

Did you shrink and live in the Maori office six months ago?

Never mind, I won't ask anymore.

In any case, people with the Detective Conan worldview will have a confused sense of time if the time span exceeds one month or if a specific date and time appears in their memories.

Chen En did not intend to explore this topic further.

His sense of time might also become confused, and he might become one of the few Batmen to be sent to an asylum.

"strangeness."

A hint of doubt appeared in Rei Furuya's eyes.

He had already changed his identity and clothes, and was once again disguising himself and hiding.

of course.

In Chen En's eyes, if Furuya Rei's blond hair and brown skin couldn't be disguised, then changing his clothes would be no different from not changing them at all; at most, he could only fool the locals of Beika.

At this moment, what Furuya Rei was naturally puzzled was how his tracking had been discovered.

The reason he followed Makoto Kusakabe was...

It wasn't actually to harm Makoto Kusakabe or to exchange any benefits.

He was simply ensuring Makoto Kusakabe's safety.

Back then, Rei Furuya was in charge of interrogating Makoto Kusakabe's assistant, Fumiichi Haba.

After inquiring about the specifics, he discovered that Makoto Kusakabe, the prosecutor with thick eyebrows and big eyes who always went against the Japanese Public Security Bureau, had also learned from the Japanese Public Security Bureau to engage in the practice of assisting others in illegal investigations.

Moreover, Makoto Kusakabe is exceptionally unethical in his actions.

In Japan, assistants to public security officers are formally employed and bound to their posts. There are regulations that require each public security officer to be responsible for their assistant, and they may even violate the law to a certain extent for this purpose.

In other words, the Japanese Public Security Bureau can cover up the wrongdoing of those who assist them.

However, Kusakabe Makoto couldn't cover it up. His assistant had no backup plan at all. Therefore, after Furuya Rei confirmed Haba Nizoichi's identity, he was dumbfounded. If this guy was released directly, he would probably be chopped into mincemeat by the others.

If we don't release him, this person will be going to court and sentenced immediately.

With no other option, Furuya Rei had to help Haba Nizoichi fake his death and escape, allowing him to start over under a new identity and be included in the list of people who could assist the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

The reason he ensured Makoto Kusakabe's safety was...

This was naturally due to the entrustment that Haba Nissan had given him back then.

However, the current situation seems to be a bit special.

"Who is the person who reminded Makoto Kusakabe?"

"When I ate at Polo Cafe, Kogoro Mouri seemed to know him... Should I find an opportunity to work another job at Polo Cafe, disguise myself as a waiter, and observe him up close for a while?"

Rei Furuya stroked his chin, deep in thought.

However, he abandoned the plan.

The main objective of the Japanese Public Security Bureau now is to thoroughly investigate the matter of Teiji Moriya and find out what the "bat" that Moriya mentioned is. Other matters will have to wait.

He had already done more than enough to ensure Kusakabe Makoto's safety along the way.

Next, we need to get back to our regular jobs.

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Nearly Completed Bat Suit

As the sun begins to set, inside the secret base of Phantom Thief Kid.

The famous second-generation Phantom Thief Kid, one of the world's top magicians.

Kaito Kuroba was examining the disguise mask in front of him at that moment.

Well, Chen En's learning progress is very fast.

It's progressing much faster than he expected.

At this rate, Chen En's disguise masks should be usable in actual combat within two weeks at the latest.

"You really didn't have any prior training in disguise techniques?"

"That's strange. I can see you have a background in magic. Normally, any magician's troupe should have some disguise techniques. How could you really not have any foundation at all?"

Kaito Kuroba stroked his chin, looking somewhat puzzled.

To this, Chen En could only say that it seemed like you were making me laugh.

Can the magic of your worldview be the same as the magic of my hometown?

Which magic school teaches disguise techniques?

"Young Master Kaito, Young Master Chen En, your juice."

Kuroba's butler, Terai Kinosuke, carried a tray into the secret base.

As the 1.5th generation Phantom Thief Kid who temporarily filled in between the first and second generation Phantom Thief Kids, Kaito Kuroba, Terai Kinosuke also has his own insights into disguise techniques.

He saw the disguise mask Chen En had made and praised it.

"Young Master Chen En's abilities are far greater than I imagined."

"If the master had seen a promising newcomer like Young Master Chen En when he was still active as a magician, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist taking him on as a disciple or giving him guidance."
