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

Chapter 193 The Raven's Feather

"The person who attacked Masuyama Kenzo this time is probably that 'Bat' again."

In the pitch-black conference room, a screen suddenly lit up.

A masked person spoke from behind the screen.
"I don't believe that someone who is being pursued by the Japanese Public Security Bureau would attack Kenzo Masuyama the moment after escaping their pursuit, and then disappear without a trace after attacking Kenzo Masuyama."

"This is illogical."

As this person spoke.

Inside the conference room, all the screens lit up one after another, and a large group of masked people gathered together.

Someone said,

“Masuyama Kenzo seems to be an extension of the Karasuma family’s influence…”

"We cannot allow the Japanese Public Security Bureau to continue investigating the Masuyama Kenzo case, nor will the Karasuma family allow us to do such a thing. Besides... if the person who did it really is Bat."

"Then we probably have to plan ahead."

—The Karasuma family.

The Karasuma family is a massive clan whose wealth surpasses the combined wealth of all other conglomerates in the entire country. Even a single outstretched tentacle of theirs is enough to stir up a storm. There are even rumors that the Karasuma family has purchased a great deal of weaponry and military equipment.

There are even Apache attack helicopters from Tamar and military submarines capable of launching torpedoes!
This is only the force that the Karasuma family has deployed in the Tokyo area. If the Karasuma family had similar armed forces deployed in other regions, then the Karasuma family would be more powerful both militarily and economically.

They all possess the ability to instantly dismantle the entire national order.

The many powerful figures in the conference room, realizing this, had no choice but to remain silent.

They are the shadow cabinet.

Unlike the cabinet members who are officially selected, they are the real cabinet members who have the ability to lead the country's direction. Their voice comes from their wealth and power.

The Karasuma family's influence was simply too deep and too wide.

Every powerful figure in the Shadow Cabinet has an inseparable relationship with the Karasuma family.

"Bat doesn't care whether his target is a powerful or famous person; as long as he is certain that the target has criminal intent, he will act directly."

"Teiji Moriya is like that, Seiran Urashi is like that, and Kenzo Masuyama is like that too."

"It doesn't matter that the first two have fallen and died, but Masuyama Kenzo, who is related to the Karasuma family, dared to disguise himself and attack directly. What about us? Will he attack one of us one day?"

A powerful figure in the shadow cabinet said,
"Such destabilizing factors cannot be allowed to continue to exist in Tokyo."

Tokyo does not need a single vigilante.

What they need is public safety.

What is public safety? Public safety is not about right or wrong, good or bad, but about order or chaos.

What they want is urban stability, even if the crime rate is a little high, but they will not allow the city to have any tendency towards chaos, even if such a tendency towards chaos might lead to a decrease in the crime rate.

"Crimes are a privilege of the powerful and wealthy, and we should not be too harsh on them."

The Shadow Cabinet Speaker today said,
"As long as it's not exposed to the light of day, crime is never wrong. Doesn't that bat like to target guilty people? If that's the case, then let's give him a guilty person, shall we?"

Arrange an explosion, a gas attack, or a hostage situation.

It's easy.

Since bats can detect the slightest movement and eliminate threats in advance, they can do the same this time. They just need to lure him out and then capture him or kill him directly.

However, at this time.

One of the shadow cabinet members said hesitantly,

"Is this really good?"

"Kill him? Is it really necessary to do something like that?"

Upon hearing this, many of the shadow councilors on the screens simultaneously turned to look at this shadow councilor.

They said in unison,
"Are you completely innocent? Don't you have any connection with the Karasuma family?"

"The Twilight Villa forty years ago—that's the sin we all share!"

—The tragedy at the Twilight Villa. Karasuma Renya, the head of the Karasuma family, summoned numerous celebrities, dignitaries, and scholars.

In the end, all the scholars died at the hands of Karasuma Renya.

What about those powerful and wealthy people?

They died, many died, only they survived.

Because they became an extension of the Karasuma family's power.

It became a crow's feather.

Therefore, in order to ensure the secrecy of the Karasuma family and to maintain their status, they did everything they could to suppress this tragedy, and most people didn't even hear a word about it.

Many important figures died in the Twilight Villa.

Their deaths were erased, along with those of their families.

no longer exists.

—The entire Tokyo metropolitan area.

Only the bigwigs of the Suzuki Group, Shiratori Group, and other conglomerates missed the Twilight Villa incident because they started their businesses too late and did not become part of the crow's feathers.

Because, after the death of Karasuma Renya, the then master of the Karasuma family.

The number of members in the Shadow Cabinet was no longer increased.

"Within this month."

“We will devise a plan to kill the bats.”

The Shadow Cabinet Speaker made the decision today.

he said,
"Reboot the dark web, release the message, and let others know."

"Let those self-proclaimed underworld bigwigs, their puppets and pathetic wretches, clash with the bat first. Let us see just how much power the bat really has, and how much force we need to mobilize to ensure a stable and decisive defeat of it."

"Besides, the mysterious organization..."

The speaker's mention of the mysterious organization today made me hesitate.

—How powerful is this organization?

Not strong.

Not to mention compared to the Karasuma clan, they are not strong enough even compared to the Shadow Cabinet.

However, the Shadow Cabinet remains wary of the existence of the mysterious organization.

The assassins of the mysterious organization mostly use skills beyond human imagination. There are even eyewitnesses who say they have seen members of the mysterious organization use incredible alchemy to instantly disintegrate the decaying main beams, causing the building to collapse.

Their power is great.

But you only have one life. Bullets can kill the assassins of the mysterious organization, but the assassins of the mysterious organization can kill them all before the bullets arrive.

The speaker concluded today by saying,
"Just leave it alone!"

"Anyway, the mysterious organization only made a fleeting appearance in Tokyo, and Lupin III was just taking a leisurely stroll. After dealing with that serial killer, he will continue to wreak havoc on the cities of Europe!"

"The bats have already been removed from the list of the mysterious organization. We only need to kill the weakest of the three, the bats!"

Today, the Speaker placed his hand on his mask.

he said,
"Then, today's meeting is adjourned."

"Seven days later, at this time, the meeting will resume."

"Goodbye, everyone."

The speaker's screen went black instantly today.

At the same time, the other screens also went out, one after another.

Finally, the entire conference room was plunged into darkness.
