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

Chapter 264 Rei Furuya Wears a Mask
Black Mask's men have undoubtedly already launched their attack in Tokyo.
However, the attack was thwarted by a combined effort from multiple forces that had already reacted, resulting in Black Mask achieving very little success. As a result, Takeo Miura, the real Black Mask, was furious.

Especially after hearing that SKJ865 had made a safe and successful emergency landing,
The man in the black mask was even more enraged.

—However, Takeo Miura's anger did not last long before he noticed something he had just overlooked: why the fifteen hijackers on flight SKJ865 had been eliminated.

Those members were the elite of the Steel Society, and the three black-masked officers were just as skilled in combat and shooting as he was.

How could those passengers, who were caught off guard, be able to turn the tables and eliminate the other hijackers? It doesn't make sense!
Takeo Miura then thought of that name.

【bat】----

The vigilantes of Tokyo.

This vigilante, who was considered a thorn in the side by the Shadow Cabinet, surprisingly did not appear in Tokyo to confront his men, despite the huge commotion that occurred tonight.

This is really incredible.

Since bats are often able to foresee crimes and eliminate criminals before they even make a move, does that mean that bats are not in Tokyo?

Takeo Miura thought of that unreliable rumor.

It is said that the reason why flight SKJ865 was able to land smoothly was because someone forcibly boarded the cabin of flight SKJ865 at high altitude, single-handedly dealt with all the hijackers, and successfully made an emergency landing.

If that person truly exists and isn't some fictional creation...

Therefore, in Takeo Miura's heart, there is only one person who fits the description: the bat.

Aside from bats, he didn't think anyone in Tokyo could do the same thing.

"Heh, bats are actually going to great lengths to save the passengers on the plane?"

"Could it be that the Suzuki Group has some kind of connection with bats? Or perhaps one of the passengers on the plane is connected to bats? That's not hard to figure out... We just need to copy down the list once, kill them one by one, and see how many bats appear after we kill them."

Takeo Miura's behavior is quite erratic.

He sat on the sofa, his eyes slightly narrowed.
I've come up with a way to get revenge on the Suzuki Foundation —

He only needs to tell the Shadow Cabinet the information about the Suzuki Foundation's connection to the bats, and the Shadow Cabinet will naturally investigate. However, given the bats' ability to hide, the Shadow Cabinet will most likely find nothing.

Therefore, the Shadow Cabinet might actually believe this conjecture to be true, and that the Suzuki Group is indeed connected to bats.

At that time, the Shadow Cabinet will naturally consider taking action against the Suzuki Group.

After all, the Suzuki Group is merely the leader on the bright side of the Kanto region, while the Shadow Cabinet is the true controller of the dark side. The Shadow Cabinet will not allow the Suzuki Group to extend its reach so far.

After Takeo Miura had this idea...

They immediately contacted members of the shadow cabinet; however, the shadow cabinet members angrily accused them.
"You bastard, don't even think about using us to interfere with your revenge!"

—I was rejected.

The shadow cabinet members didn't even ask "why," but simply stated that it was impossible.
And they believed it was his conspiracy.

Haha, Takeo Miura has already guessed why.

Someone is stirring things up in the shadows.

They're either old fogies from the Mud Ginseng Society or farcical clowns from the Dongchen Society.

—It's most likely the latter.

"It's time to make Dongchen pay a price."

Takeo Miura said in a low voice. ——————

The person who made the move was none other than Guhe Teng, the president of the Dongchen Association.

Since he was determined to cultivate a good relationship with the Suzuki Group
Therefore, he naturally wanted to stabilize this relationship.

Therefore, the moment Furukawa Tō deduced that the bats might be connected to the Suzuki Group, in order to prevent the Shadow Cabinet from taking action against the Suzuki Group and further damaging his interests, Furukawa Tō immediately reported this possibility to the Shadow Cabinet.

Furthermore, he added fuel to the fire, revealing Takeo Miura's background and general thoughts.
Although the shadow cabinet member did not explicitly state his opinion, his tone revealed his considerable anger. Therefore, Furukawa Teng already knew how the shadow cabinet member would respond to Miura Takeo.

"However, it's astonishing that the bat is connected to the Suzuki Group..."

"No, perhaps it's precisely because Bat is a subordinate of the Suzuki Group that the Suzuki Group felt comfortable letting Sonoko Suzuki travel to Tokyo alone on flight SKJ865? With such a ruthless subordinate, it's no wonder she's become so arrogant."

Guhe Teng gently gripped his walking stick,
This cane looks ordinary, merely meant to give him a more gentlemanly appearance, unlike the menacing figures of other gangsters. But in reality, it's no ordinary walking stick.

The cane contains various hidden mechanisms, allowing him to easily eliminate threatening individuals.

Including that modern-day Moriarty.

Furukawa Teng was always wary of this modern-day Moriarty, but he soon discovered the man's weakness: overconfidence.

As a result, he would even take it for granted that he would act according to his own ideas without considering the actual situation.

People with weaknesses can be controlled.

"I really hope I'll have the chance to meet a bat someday."

"As someone who also works on the dark side of the city and is barely considered a henchman of the Suzuki Group, I'm on the same side as you. I really want to see what you look like and why you're capable of doing such outrageous things!"

------

Just as the Dongchen Society and the Steel Society were engaged in open and covert struggles.

Rei Furuya has quietly returned from Seymourne City.

He remained behind the scenes, avoiding contact with other Japanese public security officers, and investigated alone. He eventually captured a masked executive, but the interrogation yielded no results.
Therefore, Rei Furuya simply ripped the mask off the other person's face.

The next moment, the steel association cadre went mad.

Seeing this scene before him, Rei Furuya felt a chill run down his spine.

He finally realized why the bats' torture of the Steel Society executives drove them insane—Black Mask doesn't beg for mercy or show fear, but those brainwashed into becoming Black Mask still possess these emotions.

When his fears conflict with his own understanding, he will become mentally unstable.

The same applies to the act of removing the mask now—the Black Mask will not be forced to remove its mask; if it is forced to remove its mask, then it is no longer the Black Mask.

This is a secretive method, cruel but effective.

Looking at the black mask before him, Rei Furuya tentatively placed it on his face, intending to see what was different about it. The next moment, everything changed.

He immediately took off the mask and threw it aside.

—He saw it.

Everything about the Miura family.

The action is gone.
