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

"The shop owner was initially unwilling to accept me, until he was moved by my sincerity."

"After becoming a motorcycle shop employee, I went back to the place I had arranged to meet Tomofumi. I waited for him by the park bench so he could share the joy of the game with me."

"...But Zhishi did not come, and he will never come again."

Kazuya Nakaoka glared fiercely at Kogoro Mouri.

"It's all because of you, Kogoro Mouri."

"If you hadn't been drunk and caused trouble, blocking the ambulance with your fans and causing Zhi Shi to miss the best time for treatment, how could Zhi Shi have died? It's all your fault!"

"It's all the fault of this world, the fault of this unjust fate."

"Why is it that every time we, the dream chasers, are about to achieve our dreams, we encounter setbacks at the very last moment, completely losing the possibility of realizing them?"

"I need to vent all this anger..."

"To tell you the truth, I originally planned to plant the C4 bombs in various locations around the Tokyo National Stadium after I left the detention cell."

"Then the day after tomorrow, I'll play a dangerous game with you."

"Regardless of the outcome of the game, I will detonate all the bombs at the Tokyo National Stadium the night after tomorrow, so that this football stadium, which carries the dreams of me and Tomofumi, will be buried with me and Tomofumi."

"Unfortunately, it seems I won't have that opportunity anymore."

The line between good and evil seems so thin at this moment.

Kazumasa Nakaoka was a psychologically fragile person to begin with. He was prone to doing irrational things if he suffered even a slight setback. The shattering of his dream with Tomofumi further changed his originally kind nature.

Even Kogoro Mouri was momentarily speechless.

But his gaze remained as firm as ever, because he knew that no reason should be used to take another person's life; he simply didn't know how to answer Nakaoka Kazumasa's question as an unintentional perpetrator.

"...Then the next part is the crime itself."

Hakuba Saguru spoke calmly.

It was as if Nakaoka Kazuya's words had not touched his heart. He simply took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number of a member of the Gold Watch Group from his contacts.

"Officer Sato, Officer Takagi."

"And Mr. Keiichiro, Detective Mouri, and the two girls behind Detective Mouri, please leave the detention room now. Our conversation from now on will be handled by the Japanese Public Security Bureau and is not within your jurisdiction."

...Aren't you the son of Superintendent General Hakuba? Why are you asking the Japanese Public Security Bureau for help?

Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi stared wide-eyed.

It felt as if we were about to fight to the death, but His Majesty surrendered first.

Sato Miwako frowned instantly and said.

"Even if you say that, it doesn't comply with the rules and regulations at all."

"Since this questioning took place inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and in its interrogation room, it is only natural that the entire process should be recorded by officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"And why was this Detective Hattori left alone beside you?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing next to him, also realized what was happening and said seriously.

"Yeah, yeah, why leave Hattori kid behind alone?"

"He's a detective, and so am I. Does that mean he's superior to me?"

Hakuba Saguru didn't say much, but simply took out his pocket watch again.

He seemed to be counting the time, which puzzled the others, before they heard Hakuba Saguru speak softly.

“5月23日星期天上午10点23分24秒。”

"Members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau have arrived at the scene."

Have members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau arrived at the scene?

His words made everyone subconsciously turn their heads to look at the door of the interrogation room.

As expected, the members of the Gold Watch Group and the Ashiya Onmyoji appeared at the door of the interrogation room. The professional Japanese police officer even took out his identification and spoke to Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru.

"I will explain the situation to Superintendent General Hakuba afterward."

"Furthermore, the matter concerning Mr. Nakaoka Kazumasa involves some public safety issues. In principle, these questions should be handled by members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau. Please leave now."

Having said all that, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru naturally had no room for negotiation.

The members of the Gold Watch Group led the Ashiya Onmyoji into the interrogation room.

Ashiya Onmyoji casually closed the door to the interrogation room after everyone else had left, then looked at the somewhat dark-skinned high school detective with some confusion and asked.

"Sir, are you a shaman from Africa?"

"They're quite fashionable; they've all changed into modern clothes."

Hattori Heiji:?

I work from 8 AM!

Dare to challenge me? Try to show off and I'll make you fly!

Just as Hattori Heiji's face darkened.

The members of the gold watch group recognized the famous detective who had once appeared at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Hakuba Saguru had some guesses about why he specifically kept Hattori Heiji behind, so he didn't say much, but instead pulled out a chair, sat down, and asked.

"Please tell me next..."

"What exactly is going on with those spells?"

Chapter 1121 The Most Troublesome Possibility

The topic has finally come to the crucial point: magic.

These esoteric matters should not be known to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers unless absolutely necessary.

This falls within the jurisdiction of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

The question from the gold watch group member made Nakaoka Kazuya's lips curl into a slight smile.

The criminal who nearly carried out a terrorist attack that endangered the lives of 8 people said without hesitation.

"I didn't expect you to know about magic. You're a discerning fellow."

"But since you know magic, you should know that the person who cast the spell is none other than me... I am the magician who created all of this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Endu, who had been standing in the shadows, frowned slightly.

Who would believe such nonsense?

He had certainly made a guess that Nakaoka Kazuya might be that magician who had encountered some extraordinary event during this period, thus gaining the ability to cast spells and create magical items.

But alas, the apartment of the magician who created this illusion of presence had a landlady.

Therefore, after asking the landlady, Chen En drew a portrait of the magician's appearance, which was completely different from Nakaoka Ichiya's. He showed Nakaoka Ichiya's photo to the landlady, and the result was the same.

Clearly, Kazuya Nakaoka could not be the magician who possessed the ability to confuse one's presence.

Seeing the situation, they suddenly embarked on the wrong course.

Hattori Heiji immediately frowned.

He certainly didn't know anything about magicians or anything like that. As a famous detective on the physics side, he was never very clear about these things, but he also knew that the possibility of Nakaoka Kazuya being a magician was extremely low.

Shouldn't magicians be able to fly around on broomsticks like Koizumi Akako? Why isn't this person carrying a broomstick?

Compared to Hattori Heiji, who is trapped in empiricism, Hakuba Saguru is much more normal.

The famous detective simply said in a calm voice.

"These spells are not used by you."

"I advise you to obediently explain everything clearly. Although the African priest and I won't do anything to you, the Japanese public security officer next to you is a different story."

"It is well known that secret police never hesitate to use any means necessary to solve cases."

Upon hearing this, the gold watch group member glanced at Hakuba Saguru.

That's slander.

You're making it sound like every Japanese police officer has some kind of memory recovery technique.

Who exactly gave you this wrong idea?

The members of the Gold Watch Group decided to investigate secretly to find out who had said those words to Hakuba Saguru.

However, at this moment, he had to cooperate with Hakuba Saguru and put on a little act, so he said.

"That's right, I advise you to quickly explain the specifics."

"Otherwise, you'll have to suffer a bit."

"For example, the surveillance cameras in the monitoring room might suddenly malfunction for a short time, and you might accidentally fall and get bruised and battered and end up in the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Nakaoka Kazuya said coldly.

"What? You believe that I single-handedly created so many C4 bombs, and that I could blow up the Tokyo National Stadium, but you don't believe that I possess magic, and that I am the owner of this magic?"

"You want to hear all the actual facts, right? I'll tell you."

Kazuya Nakaoka finally spoke.

"I am a magician, and also a bomb smuggler."

"I first left Tokyo and completed a deal with a weapons dealer from out of town. Then I found a person who died unexpectedly and used corpse manipulation magic to manipulate his body to transport the bomb to a warehouse on the outskirts of Tokyo."

"Then I went to the warehouse and used the Confusion Magic to take away the bombs."

"Because my magic that obscures presence can only be used on one person at a time, I abandoned that corpse, left it lying in the suburban warehouse, and went to the Teitan University laboratory to steal another corpse."

"Then, using the same method, I applied corpse manipulation magic to the corpse and added a spell to confuse its presence."

"Have that corpse blow up the black luxury car that Kogoro Mouri drove home, and have that corpse blend into the speeding car convoy to cover for me, so that I can be detained by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for speeding."

"I used Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers as my alibi."
