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

Chapter 231 Rei Furuya: He's the one being investigated, so why am I the one being transferred?

On the way home, Conan sat in the back seat of the car.

He glanced at the plane ticket Ran was holding, then at her enigmatic smile. He knew without a second thought what Ran was thinking—probably some way of subtly helping her parents out.

It's something like pretending to be sick and unable to go, and then having Eri Kisaki come and go in her place.

Conan is extremely familiar with Ran Mouri.

Therefore, even though Ran hadn't mentioned anything about this, Conan had already figured it out in his mind, and silently took out his phone from his pocket to send a message.

—At this point in time, besides Chen En, there is no one else who would be checking messages.

At this moment, Chen En had already said goodbye to Suzuki Sonoko, who was returning to the Suzuki family home.

He was on his way home when he received Conan's message, and immediately replied without hesitation.

"Resolve it as usual."

Conan's question was naturally about snipers.

At that time, Conan was chasing Kaito Kid.

Although he noticed the sniper's presence, Chen En flew directly in the direction of the sniper.

He didn't pay much attention to the situation there.

Then he asked Chen En for help to lower him off the roof of the train. He took a taxi and rushed to the Cosmic Theater before Xiao Lan became suspicious of his actions. Only now did he have time to calm down and learn more about the situation.

However, Chen En's answer was unexpectedly serious this time, and he did not give the standard answer he had given before.

"Leave professional matters to professionals."

“I have a friend who knows Prosecutor Reiko Kujo. I contacted Prosecutor Kujo and she went to the scene. I estimate that she has arrived at the scene where the sniper was unconscious, completed the evidence collection, and arrested the person.”

—Prosecutor Reiko Kujo?
A hint of surprise appeared in Conan's eyes.

Prosecutor Reiko Kujo is the "Madonna of prosecutors." Her position as a prosecutor is quite high. To be able to persuade Reiko Kujo to go to the scene to handle the case, is your friend some kind of particularly outstanding prosecutor?
Although I had doubts.

However, Conan had no intention of dwelling on this matter any further. After all, Chen En hadn't revealed who his friend was, so he definitely didn't want to say. If he absolutely had to, Chen En would have to reveal it.

I'm afraid they'll be able to maintain their current friendship.

"By the way, Chen En, I've got my plane ticket to Hakodate."

"These were given to us by that stage actress star named Maki Juri. There were so many that even if I, Ran, Professor Agasa, Uncle, and the Junior Detective League went together, we would still have extra tickets."

Conan typed quickly on his phone and asked,

"are you going?"

A new message popped up on my phone just seconds later, containing only a single, concise word.

"Don't go!"

Chen En has never been enthusiastic about this kind of travel.

Besides, this is a social engagement trip for celebrities, which is bound to be incredibly boring. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay in Tokyo, fight criminals, and wander around?

Do they really have to attend some kind of celebration banquet or a recurring tour?
—However, on the other hand.

This flight actually had a major safety hazard, which was the personal makeup artist of Maki, Sakai Natsuki. She used very crude methods to kill, but she did many things that others wanted to do but could not.

Natsuki Sakai poisoned the pilot.

She poisoned the cosmetics and gave them to Maki. As a result, Maki had the two captains kiss each other's hands, and the poison ended up in their bodies, causing a major crisis on the plane.

If Kid and Conan hadn't taken control of the cockpit first, the entire plane would probably have crashed.

This is the plot of the theatrical version of "The Magician of the Silver Wing".

Chen En hadn't realized it before, but upon hearing the mention of a plane to Hakodate and the keywords "Phantom Thief Kid," he instantly understood that this was part of the movie's plot. Therefore, he would resolve the plane problem beforehand. This wasn't difficult.

All he needs to do is talk to Natsuki Sakai.

------

The place where Chen En knocked Snake down.

Members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are going in and out here, investigating the situation at the scene.

Forensic officers were also constantly taking photos to ensure that the original appearance of the investigation scene could be reconstructed at any time.

But in reality, these people are busy for half a day, and nobody knows what they are busy with.

Prosecutor Reiko Kujo stood at the crime scene.

She was quite frustrated with the efficiency and capabilities of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but she was still surprised that a sniper had actually appeared there, because it was information that Makoto Kusakabe had told her over the phone.

This prosecutor from Kusakabe has always been able to obtain all sorts of special information that is not available under normal circumstances.

It seems to be the same now.

"What kind of weapon was used to make this?"

"stick?"

Inspector Shiratori Ninzaburo, who had been assigned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to participate in the investigation, raised his eyebrows and said with some puzzlement, "I've been looking at this for a while, and then it dawned on me. I clapped my hands."

"These injuries seem to match those on the members of the Five Senses Bandit Gang we found in the abandoned warehouse area before?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo quickly connected the dots and identified the key information.

However, as soon as he connected the dots with the crucial information, he sighed and couldn't speak.

Because the members of the Five Senses Bandit Gang pointed to the wound and gave all sorts of different explanations. Some said it was cut by a knife, some said it was cut by a whip, and some even said it was cut by a hidden blade!
—Those few extraordinary bandits even insisted that it was true, that they had seen it with their own eyes.

If that were true, he would have swallowed the sniper rifle whole!

"Alright, alright, let's take them back first."

"Seriously, how did a sniper suddenly appear out of nowhere in Beika Town?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo scratched his head, his confusion visibly apparent.

In fact,
Shiratori Ninzaburo wasn't the only one puzzled; Furuya Rei, a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau who had somehow appeared near the crime scene, was also observing the victim's appearance.

He was certain that, despite appearing severely injured, the man was actually alive and well.

He had seen this method of attacking without killing many times before, and it was in Bat's hands. However, his main concern now was not Bat, but the mole within the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

He has been investigating who the mole was who leaked Makoto Kusakabe's information, but he hasn't found them yet.

Frustrated, I came over to check on the situation. Unexpectedly, I made a surprising discovery regarding the bats. And, did Prosecutor Kujo come here because of Prosecutor Kusakabe?
Could it be that Prosecutor Kusakabe has already made contact with Bat?
Rei Furuya stroked his chin, pondering the next direction of the investigation.

The next moment, a message popped up on his phone.
[Rei Furuya, immediately cease all operations and proceed to Nishitama City to investigate the incident involving the red Siamese cat bombing the Tokyo National Institute of Microbiology and stealing the deadly virus!]

【Sender: ???】

Rei Furuya's expression changed.

Huh? Why were they suddenly sent to investigate this? Is there really a mole within the Japanese Public Security Administration?

And he was in a high-ranking position in the Japanese Public Security Bureau? Is that why they suddenly used that as an excuse to transfer him away?

This is troublesome...
