Chapter 270 Batman

A conflict has erupted, centered around the secret treasure of the Axe River.

Members of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Hokkaido Police Headquarters who were investigating the Fuezae Zaibatsu's public enterprises and yakuza forces were attacked simultaneously. It was a hail of bullets that caught the police force off guard and caused them to suffer heavy losses.

At this moment, Inspector Megure crouched behind the wall, which was serving as cover.
His face showed visibly astonishment and disbelief.
—Has Takuzo Fukie gone mad? Have the rest of the Fukie Zaibatsu gone mad with him?

They actually dared to send people to intercept the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's team? What exactly are they trying to do?
Inspector Megure's expression immediately turned serious.

He gestured to Wataru Takagi to hand his pistol to Kogoro Mouri, while he picked up his phone and contacted Superintendent Hakuba, who was in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's office and was troubled by the sporadic terrorist attacks.

"Superintendent White Horse, we've been ambushed!"

"As you know, the officers in the Second Investigation Division are responsible for intelligent crimes, unlike our First Investigation Division which specializes in criminal cases. Their skills are simply not as good as those of the officers in the First Investigation Division!"

"The officers in the Second Investigation Division have already suffered casualties as a result, and we need backup!"

—What?! Daring to openly attack police officers? This is no ordinary citizen!

Must hit hard!

Upon hearing this, Superintendent Hakuba's face immediately turned red, and without saying a word, he transferred the call to the head of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters.

However, the head of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters was even more powerful than him.

Because the attacked team was not just the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's investigation team.
The investigation team dispatched by the Hokkaido Police Headquarters was not only attacked in the same way, but the attack was even more severe!

"Damn it, Mobile Squadron, move out!"

The head of the Hokkaido Police Headquarters slammed his fist on the table and shouted.

At this very moment, mobile units from various locations and departments quickly armed themselves, equipped with riot shields, bulletproof vests, batons, and firearms, and sped towards Hakodate City in various vehicles.
Even if the head of the Hakodate Police Headquarters is slow-witted...

Upon seeing the order from the head of headquarters, he turned ashen-faced and slumped into his chair, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams—given this incident, he, the highest-ranking officer of this local headquarters, was the first to bear the brunt.

This is the end of both his career and his life!

However, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is still facing attacks from gangsters.

I've already gotten the pistol from Wataru Takagi.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who was firing continuously at the attackers, each shot capable of taking down a target, couldn't help but frown.
This won't work; given this trend...
He, Inspector Megure, and Wataru Takagi might not die, but the other officers definitely wouldn't be able to hold out until the SWAT team's reinforcements arrive.

We need to do something more!
Kogoro Mouri peeked out and glanced at the location of the yakuza members.

He was immediately forced to pull his head back by the bullet.

He couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Damn it, what's going on at the Hakodate Police Headquarters?"

"Are the yakuza countermeasures team here just sitting around doing nothing? Why is the rate of gun possession among yakuza so high? They even dare to commit drive-by killings in broad daylight in downtown Hakodate? These bastards are a disgrace to their police badges!"

Why are the anti-gang task forces in every region all like this?

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division is like this, and so is the Hakodate City Organized Crime Countermeasures Unit. Is it really true that you become corrupted by those you associate with? As long as you come into contact with organized crime, you will be assimilated and become complicit with them?

Just as Kogoro Mouri was angrily cursing,
Takagi Wataru, however, raised his head.

He pointed to a spot in the sky and said incredulously,

"Mr. Mori, Inspector Megure, look!"

"What is that?!" ————What the hell are you looking at? You have time to look at other things?

Kogoro Mouri didn't even bother to glance at it.
But then Inspector Megure's voice rang out.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department inspector said with a hint of disbelief,
"Could it be that... such a thing really exists in this world..."

Kogoro Mouri finally looked up.
His pupils gradually contracted, revealing an expression of disbelief.

And the rest of Inspector Megure's words reached his ears as well.

"...Batman?"

A black hang glider tore through the sky and arrived with a whoosh.

However, to Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure's keen eyesight, it became clear that it wasn't a hang glider at all, but rather a cape unfolded and used as a hang glider, and this cape—

It's Batman's cape!

He was dressed in a metallic battle suit with a bat symbol on his chest and a bat helmet on his head.

Although he is different from the Batman seen in recent movies and comics, this Batman who suddenly appears in the sky and is rapidly approaching this way does indeed fit their image of Batman!
But how is this possible?
Batman is just a character in comics; how could he possibly exist in the real world?
A figure flashed through Kogoro Mouri's mind in an instant.

That was Chen En.

He remembered the first time he remembered Chen En as Batman. It was three days after they disembarked from the Queen Cerissa, when he and Chen En went to the Long Gate Group villa, and Xiao Lan said that Chen En was Batman.

At the time, Kogoro Mouri thought it was just a childish joke, a case of "iconic second-generation kid" behavior.
But what they were seeing proved it wasn't a joke. Could this Batman be Chen En, who claimed to be Batman? No, impossible. Chen En was clearly in Tokyo, he hadn't come to Hakodate at all!

—Did Chen En really not come to Hakodate City?

The scene he had witnessed on the plane flashed through Kogoro Mouri's mind.

After the flash ended, he noticed that Sonoko Suzuki had a high-quality black blanket on her, but the blanket was gone when he came to first class with the bomb.

At the time, Kogoro Mouri thought he had misread it.

Looking back now, that blanket was probably the cape that Batman wore as a hang glider, and the person who did the aerial jump battle back then was the Batman in the air now! He actually returned from his long slumber of death!
"...Chen En."

Kogoro Mouri said it instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure was startled and turned to look at Kogoro Mouri, saying,

"You mean that's Brother Chen En?!"

—Damn it, no wonder I'm so unlucky!

So that night, Brother Chen En, little Conan, Brother Mori, and the three unlucky guys all gathered together!

The black glider abruptly retracted the moment it reached the center of the battle, returning to its cape-like shape.

A black figure descended from the sky.

Everyone was speechless with astonishment at what they were seeing.

Because what appeared before them was...
He was a hero who only existed in comics.

—Batman!
