Conan then reattached his bow tie to his collar, severed the connection with the internal communication channel of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice.

"Haibara, in the instant the mask exploded, I think I saw something..."

Chapter 1132 A Person Who Can Never Appear in Tokyo Again

"...Ye Caisan hasn't returned yet."

Inside Chen En Manor.

Conan casually placed his beloved soccer league ticket on the table next to him, gently rubbing his chin with his fingers as if deep in thought, his gaze constantly fixed on the supercomputer screen in front of him.

Although Ye Caisan is not considered the true steward of Chen En Manor, theoretically he does not need to stay in the manor every day.

However, he still remembered that Ye Caisan had made an agreement with Chen En.

The premise for their cooperation is that Ye Cai San can keep Curaçao under control and ensure that Curaçao does not suddenly regain her memories or cause harm to the Bat Family or Tokyo City after regaining her memories.

Under these circumstances, Ye Caisan would never have left Curaçao alone at the manor.

It seems that something must have happened on the side of the underworld organization, which made it impossible for Ye Cai San to be distracted by taking care of the situation at Chen En Manor, which is why he hasn't returned for two days in a row.

Hearing Conan's murmur, Ai Haibara frowned and said something.

"Although Ye Caisan had previously broken ties with Guhe Teng."

"However, the two still maintained a cooperative relationship. Ye Caisan helped Guhe Teng deal with the situation of the underworld gangster organization, and Guhe Teng reciprocated by giving Ye Caisan status and information."

"In other words, if Ye Caisan was dealing with the underworld, he should be with Guhe Teng right now."

"Then all we need to do now is contact Furukawa Teng."

Conan nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two little ones were of one mind, Noah's Ark then began to use the internal communication channels of the Bat Cave to send a contact request to Furukawa Teng. Before long, Furukawa Teng had already connected with the communication.

The nominal king of the Tokyo metropolitan area's underworld asked calmly.

"This is Guhe Teng. What brings you here?"

He didn't know who the person on the other end of the phone was.

But he knew that person could not possibly be Batman.

Batman isn't that friendly.

If Batman wanted to contact him, he wouldn't do it this way. Instead, he would suddenly appear in the shadows of his room one night when Batman was about to go to sleep, giving him a heart attack.

Upon hearing this, Conan and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance.

Conan then took off the red bow tie from his collar, adjusted it slightly, and then said in a hoarse voice.

What's wrong with the underground world?

That familiar, hoarse voice.

This immediately made Furukawa Teng on the other end of the phone stand at attention.

His former aura as the king of the underworld vanished instantly. He coughed twice and asked again, somewhat awkwardly.

"Why do you say that?"

"Everything is fine in the underground world, there are no problems."

Everything is fine, there are no problems.

You can fool yourself with this kind of nonsense, but don't fool your buddy.

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately asked another question.

"If that's really the case, then why didn't Ye Caisan return home all night?"

"Do I have to come to you in person tonight before you'll tell the truth? I guarantee you, when I come to you tonight, you won't be able to answer me as easily as you are now!"

Upon hearing this, Guhe Teng coughed twice and finally spoke.

"I knew there must be something wrong here..."

"Well, actually, our Dongchen Society has been expanding its influence during this period because the Tokyo underworld has recently experienced some turmoil, and the unused legacy of Black Mask from back then has been dug up again."

"The Iron Society members who were originally part of the Black Mask remnants have now become the target of everyone's attacks."

"Many emerging gangs have torn the current Steel Society to pieces, and their territory is practically within reach. As you know, I'm already prepared to abandon the name of the East Star Society and start afresh."

"These things are also beneficial for the expansion of my new gang."

"Ye Caisan has been helping me resolve these issues these past two days, laying the foundation for the development of the new gang."

The steel now will be torn to pieces by other gangs?

A hint of surprise appeared in Conan's eyes.

He hadn't expected the Steel Association's situation to develop in this way.

However, at this moment, Ai Haibara quietly explained the situation.

"The current Steel Society is just a reorganization of the original Steel Society's peripheral and lower-level members."

"Relying on the legacy left by the sudden death of the Steel Society, it inherited the name of the Steel Society and also manages a part of the former territory of the Steel Society, but in reality it is completely different from the previous Steel Society."

"When Hamaka Misao, the second-generation leader of the Toshinkai, attacked Tokyo, the Steel Society also appeared at that time."

"It's just bad luck that they ran into the old bat who had just returned from Jianggutian. As a result, the Reorganized Steel Society, which had just started to make some progress by plundering the resources of the Dongchen Society, suffered another heavy blow."

"It's not surprising that we're now being targeted by other gangs and attacked by them all."

That's true, but the situation is perhaps too much of a coincidence.

Conan frowned slightly.

He has never been particularly interested in the affairs of the underworld or organized crime.

Even as a high school detective, he didn't want to get involved in these matters, but now that Chen En has temporarily left Tokyo, he has no choice but to deal with them.

So Conan just said in a low voice.

"Don't you think the current situation at the Steel Association is very strange?"

"Just yesterday, there was an attempted terrorist attack at the Tokyo National Stadium, but these yakuza organizations have started fighting in the last two days. Don't they know I'm keeping an eye on things here?"

"Is the legacy of Black Mask really so great that they would dare to take such risks right under my nose?"

Furukawa Teng paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.

The leader of the underworld organization seemed to be thinking, and after a while, he tentatively spoke.

"You mean this is someone else's conspiracy?"

"But I don't understand why."

Guhe Teng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his office chair.

Ye Caisan, who was standing next to Gu Heteng, was also attracted by Gu Heteng's commotion.

As the shadow planner listened to the description in the familiar, husky, deep voice reminiscent of Batman, which had been switched to speakerphone at some point, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

It was only at this point that Furukawa Teng continued speaking.

"If someone deliberately stirs up trouble at this time, it's to lure you into a trap."

"So what do they gain? The underworld can handle its own affairs. Under normal circumstances, Batman wouldn't get involved. What's in it for him to deliberately draw your attention?"

"People who do thankless work are quite rare in our underworld."

"As far as I know, there is only one."

Koga Teng did not reveal the person's name.

However, everyone listening to the conversation knew who Furukawa Teng was talking about.

Conan spoke softly on the other end of the phone using a bow tie voice changer.

"Maybe it really is the person you're thinking of?"

...Are you kidding me?

A look of astonishment appeared in Guhe Teng's eyes.

He never expected Batman to answer him like that; it was simply unbelievable, because everyone knew that person could no longer appear inside Tokyo.

Ye Caisan, who was next to Guhe Teng, took the phone, put it to his ear, and whispered.

"If that's the case, how can we confirm it?"

Chapter 1133 The Super Villain Who Has Seemed to Have Returned

Inside the Bat Cave, Chen En could naturally overhear Conan's conversation with Furukawa Teng, Ye Caisan, and others.

He tapped his earpiece lightly with his fingers, switching the listening channel.

The next moment, a familiar voice came from the interrogation room inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

"I have to say, this kid is really stubborn."

“I have used multiple memory restoration techniques in succession, but he still hasn’t said a single word about the mastermind. I think that he must be a close confidant of the mastermind to be so stubborn.”

The gold watch team member stroked his chin and spoke near the interrogation room.

"Should we bring over a few more dark-colored ones next?"

The person speaking to the gold watch group members was a detective from the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He served as the direct superior of the Public Security Planning Section within the Japanese Public Security Service.

After the police chief, Yuya Kazami, a member of the Public Security Planning Division, arrested the suspect, he naturally had to find the person involved to further confirm the situation. However, he couldn't help but frown at this moment.

"Is he really that stubborn? But his file looks like he's just an ordinary thug."
