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

But now, perhaps we should prioritize this matter and ascertain Chen En's situation before his company becomes truly famous, to see if he is indeed the legendary Dark Knight.

On the other side, Hidemi Hondo from the CIA was also present.

She, who simultaneously holds the identities of a Black Organization codenamed member and a senior CIA investigator, has not appeared in Tokyo for a long time, and has even resigned from her position as a radio host for Nichiri TV.

Looking at the situation of Chen En Enterprise in front of her, she couldn't help but ponder.

Chapter 1056 The Various Forces Temporarily Cease Action

The reason why Ireland hasn't taken action yet is actually quite simple, there's only one.

That means there's another mole within the organization.

The organization only discovered now that the undercover agent who was stabbed to death for reasons unknown had a list of all the organization's peripheral members and the high-ranking government officials who colluded with them.

The news struck like a bolt from the blue, causing an uproar within the Black Organization.

The man and Rum were unusually in agreement at this moment, demanding that the Tokyo branch, where Ireland was located, retrieve the lost USB drive as quickly as possible to ensure no further complications arose.

Therefore, even though Ireland still harbors resentment towards the Dongchen Society.

However, under the dual pressure of that official and rum, he had no choice but to put aside his revenge against the Dongchen Society and make finding that list his top priority.

Hondo Eikai has been keeping a low profile lately, precisely because she's been helping Ireland search for that list.

However, her goal was not entirely the same as Ireland's. Although she also wanted to find the list, she wanted to make a copy of it and send it to CIA headquarters.

Even if it's just killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, using this list as a condition for exchanging benefits.

The benefits they can bring to the CIA should not be underestimated.

However, that list was really hard to find. After all, the black-clad member who was inexplicably stabbed to death in Beika Town had been dead for some time, and his belongings had been taken away by someone.

Even now, we only have a slight clue about the whereabouts of that list.

If Chen En, whom she vaguely remembered, hadn't suddenly become the focus of interviews by major news media, she probably wouldn't have stopped to look at the building of Chen En's company.

Instead, they went directly to the next location to continue searching for the list of peripheral members.

"...Is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like this person is becoming more and more like Batman?"

Hondo Eikai stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment, Ireland's message appeared on her phone again, providing a new address and urging her to go to the scene to investigate.

Although he was somewhat annoyed that as the second-in-command, he had no prestige whatsoever.

But the thought that she had only gotten the position of second-in-command by relying on others to ruin themselves made her feel much better. There was no other way; if she did nothing, she wouldn't make any mistakes.

Maybe if she keeps this up for a while, Ireland will ruin itself?

Hondo Emi quietly put on her hood and then disappeared into the crowd again. Many people did not notice Hondo Emi's appearance, except for the two who had been watching her.

"...Is it that woman who looks remarkably like Hondo Eisuke?"

Sera Masumi clicked her tongue in amazement.

"I heard he's a senior investigator at the CIA now. I don't see anything special about him. How did he get that position? Was it just luck?"

She was not an agent of any intelligence organization.

However, thanks to her older brother being an FBI agent and her parents being MI6 agents, she also knew quite a bit about the inner workings of these intelligence organizations.

Although she joked about it, she felt that it was absolutely impossible.

Her mother, Mary Akai, was roughly at the same level.

If one could rise to the position of senior investigator purely by luck, wouldn't that make Mary Akai seem particularly clownish?

Let's put this matter aside for now.

Having changed into a middle school uniform and completely disguised her identity, Mary Akai lightly tapped her fingers on the outer wall of the telescope, her gaze fixed on Conan Edogawa.

She and Sera Masumi have been trying to figure out whether this person's true identity is Shinichi Kudo.

However, there has been no progress so far. On the contrary, Conan may have become suspicious because of Sera Masumi's frequent visits. Therefore, she asked Sera Masumi to slow down her visits.

I'll talk about it later.

Meanwhile, Mary Akai is observing the interaction between Conan and Yukiko Kudo next to her.

Such intimate interactions, so unlike those between strangers, could not escape the notice of anyone with a discerning eye, let alone Akai Mary, who had met Kudo Yukiko and Conan before.

She was considering whether to find an opportunity to personally verify Conan's identity.

But then they saw that Conan's image in the telescope had been obscured.

Mary Akai was stunned for a moment, and then she was shocked when she saw what was in the telescope.

Suddenly, the main character of this press conference appeared beside Conan, talking to Eri Kisaki, and conveniently blocking Conan's view.

It was as if they knew she was looking in that direction with a telescope.

But how is that possible?

She was a high-ranking officer in MI6, a veteran of countless battles. Even though her body had shrunk and her combat abilities had declined, her experience and intelligence had not.

Mary Akai didn't think that the location she had chosen would be easily discovered by anyone.

A hint of hesitation crossed her eyes, and the next moment, she felt a chill run down her spine, because the figure who was talking to Eri had looked up and was staring at her across the distance.

An immense sense of crisis instantly descended upon me.

So much so that Mary Akai lost her grip on the binoculars and they fell to the ground on the rooftop of the building, startling Sera Masumi who was standing next to her.

As the saying goes, those who can accomplish great things remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them.

Although Mary Akai is not someone who does great things, as one of the veteran troublemakers and agents of Britain, she would have died long ago if she lost her composure. Why is she suddenly so out of control today?

Sera Masumi had just helped Akai Mary up and was about to ask what was wrong when she heard Akai Mary say in a low voice.

“Let’s go somewhere else… I’m afraid there’s something wrong with that guy named Chen En.”

Although Batman would never call himself Batman.

However, Batman has a history of using nested plans, meaning he anticipates your predictions and may therefore deliberately feign ignorance to mislead others... even though there is absolutely no way to prove that person's true identity.

But for veteran agents, all they need is a guess; they don't need to prove it.

Since the person who might be Batman has noticed their presence and cast a warning glance, they might as well stop for a while, investigate further, and gather evidence before drawing any conclusions!

Chen En's gaze fell on the rooftop of that building. Noticing that the person had stopped, he took a sip of coffee, turned to look at Eri Kisaki, and said calmly.

"...I'm not very familiar with legal treaties, and sometimes I need Attorney Fei's help to make some references."

The main purpose is to confirm how heavy the cut should be when the time comes.

We can't beat petty thieves and murderers into complete paralysis. We need to be reasonable, like only knocking out a few teeth or bones, and then classifying them accordingly!

Chapter 1057 An Unavoidable Banquet

"...It seems that there is no need to do much security work on the headquarters of the Suzuki Group and Chen En Enterprises."

"We should pass the security audit and assessment, so we can pretty much call it a day and leave. However, it's quite surprising that such a newly established conglomerate has such capabilities."

Inside the Chen En Enterprise headquarters building.

The members of the Gold Watch Group, who had already disguised themselves as internal cleaning staff, took notes on the situation at the scene in their notebooks. They made sure to exchange a few words with Ashiya, the Onmyoji who was standing next to them, and treated Kazami Yuya behind them as an outsider.

"However, I don't quite understand what kind of mystical protection this is."

"You're an Onmyoji, can you understand this?"

Ashiya, standing nearby, paused for a moment, then spoke seriously.

"I don't understand."

Gold Watch Group Members: ?

You little brat, what's the difference between having Yin-Yang magic and not having it?

The gold watch group members were speechless for a moment before they spoke.

"Take another look."

"You Onmyoji should have come into contact with the various mystical systems in East Asia and Southeast Asia, so do you really have no recollection of them at all?"

The Onmyoji system is a notorious failure system.

It was whipped like a spinning top by Buddhism, then by Taoism, and later it couldn't even defeat the Shintoism that evolved from Taoism here. After the Black Ships entered the sea, it was whipped like a spinning top by Christianity without stopping.

As the saying goes, one should remember grudges but not favors. How could I not remember the system of spinning tops in Onmyoji?

However, Ashiya shook his head again at this moment and said.

"It's definitely not. If I had to say, it would be a Western-style mystical technique."

"I can't identify the specific type of magic."

...Why didn't you say that earlier?

The members of the gold watch group immediately realized what was happening.

Didn't Hakuba Saguru bring a magician from the United States before?

It's said to be a notorious exorcist in North America; maybe it was that exorcist who set up the magic circle for Chen En.

He had thought this person was just a flashy but useless silver spear and candlestick, only good for showing off with magical props, but he didn't expect him to be a master craftsman with some real skills.

If Tokyo has any problems next time, just pull this guy over to take the fall. He's not a good person anyway, so if he dies, he dies.

Kazami Yuya, who had been suspended from his duties for taking unauthorized actions at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall, finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, somewhat confused, why he had been brought here.

He is still suspended from his duties, and he can't contact his original team members, leaving him completely alone.

Moreover, we finally managed to find Rei Furuya, but we don't know where he went with that weird hood. We can't find him now, and we're already annoyed. We don't have time to come and watch your performance here.
