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

Chapter 199 The Flying Coin

Fresh blood dripped onto the ground along the edge of the crowbar.

Frankly speaking, compared to the mobsters and masked men groaning and fainting on the ground, Batman, standing before them now, wearing his gleaming Batsuit and wielding the physics-based sword, seems more like the villain.

The smoke gradually dissipated through the cracks in the door until it disappeared completely.

Makoto Kusakabe stood in a corner of the dimly lit room.

The sparse moonlight shone through the cracks in the sealed window onto his face, vaguely revealing a hint of shock and disbelief in his eyes.

Batman is just a joke to fool kids.

However, this joke came true in reality, right in front of him.

—When someone calls himself Batman, dresses like Batman, and speaks, fights, and acts like Batman.

So, without a doubt, that person is Batman.

"Why did you save me?"

"How did you know I was here?"

Makoto Kusakabe asked subconsciously.

He watched as the Night Knight, standing in the darkness, slowly turned to face him.

"Are you the bat that the Japanese police were talking about?"

no answer.

Chen En simply turned to face Kusakabe Makoto.

He looked at the two-faced person in the system's assessment, and the system screen slowly appeared before his eyes, displaying the progress of this special mission. Undoubtedly, it was only fifty percent, not one hundred percent.

This attack does not entirely signify that Makoto Kusakabe has become a double agent in the system's assessment.

he said,
"As you can see."

Chen En stepped forward and came into the light, allowing Kusakabe Makoto to see him clearly.

—Just like a superhero in a comic book who emerges from the shadows.

Looking at Batman in front of him.

"Makoto Kusakabe, I have five minutes left."

"We need to talk."

------

These thugs dressed in black.

It comes from a criminal organization called the Steel Society, which seems like it can be easily dealt with, but in reality, it is not so.

Because the headquarters of the Steel Association is not located in Tokyo.

These were merely branch members of the Steel Society sent to resolve the issue. The masked man Chen En eliminated was only the number three figure in the Steel Society, as can be seen from the three scratches on his mask.

However, Chen En discovered the existence of the Steel Society after interrogating him.

This naturally triggered a brand new special mission.

This mission is about the supervillain Black Mask.

------

[Special Mission: Black Mask - Expansion]

Supervillain Black Mask, Roman Sionis, has become an extension of the Court of Owls. To gain their support, he has established a firm foothold in Gotham City and plans to further expand his influence, aiming to become the undisputed ruler of Gotham's underworld. As the guardian of Gotham City, you have a duty to thwart his plans!

[Reward: Two-way Batmobile]

[Note: Black Mask is incredibly cruel and ruthless. Never imagine that Roman Sinnis has any moral compass. From the moment he murdered his own parents to seize their inheritance, his moral compass completely disappeared.]

------

However, let's put the matter of the black mask aside for now.

Now, Chen En's task is to complete the mission of the double agent.

Surprisingly, it was Makoto Kusakabe who spoke first, even before Chen En.

The renowned prosecutor repeated his previous question, hoping to get an answer from Chen En.

Obviously, Chen En answered his question.

In a Batman-esque way.

"Because, I'm batman!"

Makoto Kusakabe: ?
Having just escaped death, a sense of doubt arose in his mind.

Could it be that this person saved him simply because he has a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

Makoto Kusakabe glanced at the yakuza members lying on the ground.

A sense of silence welled up in my heart.

He does not advocate vigilante justice and hopes that everything can proceed according to legal procedures.

However, the reason Batman is doing this now is...

Just to save him.

He would never blame Batman for being too ruthless.

—For the sake of justice, some necessary sacrifices are unavoidable.

This sacrifice could be the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters building, Makoto Kusakabe's life, or the physical and mental health of these criminals.

However, he has now begun to hesitate.

Can simply making the Japanese Public Security Bureau pay the price really restore order to Beika Town?
Does the Japanese Public Security Bureau truly have the capability to rebuild from the ashes?

If not, this loss of credibility for the Japanese Public Security Bureau will also affect the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, since the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are two adjacent buildings, and it is impossible for only one building to be affected.

At that time, criminals throughout Tokyo will be enraged by the severe disruption to order and will continue to commit crimes.

Tokyo is likely to become a true crime capital.

"Batman, someone has leaked my information."

"The same thing happened on the train that left Tokyo before, and it's the same thing happened with my infiltration investigation. I don't know who leaked my information, but... I think this can't go on."

Makoto Kusakabe had some conflicting thoughts.

He unconsciously rummaged in his pocket, hoping to grab something to play with in his hand, to help him sort out his thoughts. But there was nothing in his pocket except a coin left over from the vending machine he had just passed by.

Makoto Kusakabe held the 100-yen coin in his hand.

He unconsciously fiddled with it, muttering to himself.
"Batman, you're now acting as a vigilante, able to investigate and stop those dirty deeds. Have you ever considered... using even more ruthless methods?"

Makoto Kusakabe said somewhat uncertainly.

The coin spun in his hand, and he seemed to be weighing his words, unsure whether he should voice that extreme thought, which made him spin the coin faster and faster.

Finally, Makoto Kusakabe subconsciously tossed the coin in his hand with his thumb.

Then, Chen En caught the coin.

he said,
"Consider this hundred-dollar coin your payment for me, so I can buy a drink."

They did not continue with the topic that Makoto Kusakabe had just discussed.

Chen En simply said,

“Sometimes the law is still necessary, and killing is not the only harmless means.”

"Mr. Two-Face, have you ever thought about this...?"

"Could you have a second ally as a helper?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Makoto Kusakabe's eyes.
