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

How did you do that?

Chen En simply said without any expression.

"Because I am Chen En."

Did you think I was going to spout some classic lines? Hehe, you're wrong.

All of this was exactly what I predicted!

Chapter 1140 The Flames of Displaced Anger

Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, Interrogation Room.

As an inspector from the Osaka Police Headquarters, Goro Otaki entered the interrogation room accompanied by officers from the Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters, his gaze falling on the man who had just woken up.

Although there was indeed a misunderstanding with Chen En at the beginning of the Koshien tournament.

But he wasn't stupid; he quickly figured things out and confirmed that the man before him was indeed the so-called "Devil of Koshien"...

Heiji Hattori stood outside the interrogation room.

He peered through the viewing window, wondering why this man named Shimamitsu Yukio would act at this time and commit suicide inside Koshien Stadium.

Because no normal person would ever think of giving themselves a cool nickname, then going to Koshien Stadium to pick a lucky audience member to play a game and then self-destruct, right? If you want to die, just find a place to die and don't drag others down with you, right?

The prefectural policeman sitting next to Goro Otaki coughed twice and then spoke.

"Hello, do you know what you've done wrong?"

He started by saying something that seemed like a lot of nonsense but actually made sense.

Then even the county police officer himself couldn't hold back anymore, coughed twice more, and then got down to business.

"Mr. Yukio Shimamitsu, why did you bring a bomb and detonate it inside Koshien Stadium?"

"According to Inspector Otaki and Detective Hattori's descriptions, you stated on the phone that after the second match point, you would show Detective Hattori your determination to do so..."

"What exactly is this determination you're referring to?"

This is also a question that Goro Otaki wants to know.

When the second match point ended, he and Hattori Heiji searched all over the Koshien stadium for a long time but couldn't find anything unusual. They almost thought the bomber was just playing a prank.

Shima Mitsuo paused for a moment before speaking.

"I thought your county police headquarters should be able to find it."

"Your police and fire department were already on the scene by then, on the Takano Transport Building side... The building exploded and started burning around the time the second match point ended."

"I thought you two would notice it, after all, the fire over there could be clearly seen even inside the Koshien stadium, but I didn't expect that your eyesight seemed to be a bit off, and you didn't turn around in the end."

...Dude, who would have guessed that this is related to this?

Goro Otaki's expression instantly turned somewhat strange.

He certainly didn't look back, so to be fair, he was indeed somewhat negligent.

But in reality, a guy who claims to be self-destructing inside Koshien Stadium and says he wants to show his determination to self-destruct inside Koshien Stadium should normally make some noise inside Koshien Stadium.

Who would have thought that the determination this person was talking about meant blowing up a building at least six or seven blocks away?

Would a normal person think like this?

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji realized what was happening.

He casually stopped a passing prefectural police officer and asked him about the matter between Shimamitsu Yukio and Takano Transport Company. The officer thought for a moment and then answered Hattori Heiji.

"About a month ago."

“A month ago, Mr. Shima Hikari came to the prefectural police headquarters to report that Takano Transport Company had deliberately murdered his son with a truck. At the time, the incident was even reported in the news.”

"Because Mr. Hikaru Shima's son, Hikaru Shima, was quite famous as a high school baseball player."

So that's how it is. No wonder.

Hattori Heiji nodded slightly, realizing what he meant.

He immediately pushed open the door and entered as if he were in his own home. He casually walked into the interrogation room, then slapped his hand on the table, looked seriously at Shima Mitsuo, and asked.

“I now fully understand your motivation for doing this.”

"Because your son, Mitsuhiro Shima, was hit by a truck from Takano Transport and died from his injuries, you harbored resentment towards Takano Transport. That's why you sneaked into the Takano Transport building during your holiday and started a fire with incendiary materials."

“I can understand your despair, but I cannot understand why you would detonate a bomb inside Koshien Stadium to commit suicide.”

Why did you do this?

The famous detective from Kansai asked, puzzled.

"Koshien is the dream destination for all high school baseball players."

“If I remember correctly, your son, Mitsuhiro Shima, was a key member of the Teito Industrial High School baseball team, and he fought against Daikin High School in the Koshien qualifying tournament this spring.”

"The Koshien stadium must be a place your son has always dreamed of, so why did you choose to destroy it?"

“I believe that if your son were still alive, he would not want you to do such a thing.”

Hearing Hattori Heiji's serious words...

Goro Otaki and the Prefectural Police Headquarters next to him also nodded slightly.

Hyogo Prefecture is the location of the Koshien tournament venue.

Baseball is naturally one of the most popular ball games here, so even ordinary police officers have a special feeling for baseball and will naturally empathize with it.

When Goro Otaki was in high school, he was also a member of the high school baseball team.

He once gave his all to get into the Koshien Stadium.

Therefore, Goro Otaki could not understand what Yukio Shima had done.

Upon hearing this, Shima Mitsuo chuckled coldly a few times before finally speaking.

"People like you can't understand, you can't understand my despair."

What's so good about baseball?

"If there were no ball sport like baseball, and no damn Koshien tournament, my son wouldn't have been so obsessed with baseball, and wouldn't have gone to such extremes from the Koshien qualifying tournament that he practiced until he was mentally unstable and ultimately died in an accident!"

"I want to take revenge on Koshien, and on these fans who love baseball."

"They are all the culprits who caused all of this!"

Although he said it, he knew in his heart that it was completely unreasonable to do so.

He had previously believed that the truck from Takano Transport Company had deliberately run over and killed his son, but after careful and repeated investigations, the police finally determined that his son had indeed entered the roadway due to overtraining, causing the truck to hit him in time.

It was a completely accidental incident, yet he still chose to retaliate against the Takano Transport Building.

The same applies to the Koshien stadium and its spectators.

Although his son overtrained due to the loss in the Koshien qualifying tournament, the fault did not lie with the Koshien tournament or the spectators; he was merely taking out his anger on them.

However, the last vestige of conscience in Shima Mitsuo's heart prevented him from detonating the bomb immediately.

He ultimately gave others a chance to find him.

Although he hadn't expected the opportunity to be realized in this way.

"..."

Goro Otaki and the prefectural police officer exchanged a glance, a complex emotion flashing in their eyes.

These kinds of emotional offenders are really difficult to deal with.

However, Heiji Hattori spoke earnestly as always.

"You're just taking your anger out on others."

"Saying that those people are the culprits is one thing, but it's another to deceive yourself... In any case, the fact remains that you put completely innocent people in a life-threatening situation."

"Don't even think about shirking your responsibility!"

Chapter 1141 Does the Batman title come with attribute bonuses?

"Heiji, you're out?"

Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters Lobby.

Kazuha Toyama and the others had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw Heiji Hattori come out, Kazuha Toyama immediately greeted him happily, but noticed that Heiji Hattori's expression did not seem very good.

Immediately, Toyama Kazuha felt a little uneasy and asked in a low voice.

"Heiji, what's wrong?"

Is something wrong?

Upon hearing Toyama Kazuha's words, Hattori Heiji snapped out of his daze.

He shook his head and simply said...

"No, no, it's nothing, just some feelings."

"I never imagined that pursuing my dreams would lead to something like this."

However, Shimamitsu Yukio's situation also reminded him of the gentleman from the football club in Tokyo.

Keiichiro Motoura and Yukio Shima both lost their sons in accidents. Their children also loved ball sports, but the choices they made after their sons' deaths were completely different.

Mr. Benpu chose to carry on his child's dream.

He founded a club to cultivate children's love of football, helping more children pursue their dreams in football and enabling his children to step onto the stage they had always dreamed of.

However, Yukio Shima directs his anger towards ball sports, seeking revenge against baseball.

He wanted to self-destruct at the Koshien stadium, using this extreme method to vent his anger, which would lead to the cancellation of the Koshien tournament and even cause baseball's status in Hyogo Prefecture to plummet...
