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

Chapter 272 A Nightmare Falling from the Sky

"No, how much longer until Tama's mobile unit arrives?"

"Mobility, mobility? This level of mobility is hardly what you call a mobile team. Back when you were suppressing the All-Student Union, you started with zero frames, but now you're dragging your feet when dealing with real thugs?"

Nishimura Kyōhei's face turned ashen.

Damn it, he got the coordinates of the underground headquarters of this illegal yakuza organization from the Hakodate Police Headquarters, thinking that the Hakodate Police Headquarters could finally play a little bit of a role. But you're telling me that it was a trap?
As expected, I shouldn't have trusted those useless, incompetent, and treacherous people at the Hakodate Police Headquarters!

Seeing the gangsters attacking from all directions,
Nishimura Kyōhei had only one thought in his mind.
How dare these guys? How much money did they get paid for them to fight so desperately? Did the Axe River Conglomerate chop themselves up for firewood to pay these gangsters to come and risk their lives?

—Impossible, right? Others might not know, but how could a local from Hokkaido not know?
The Fue E Group is a family business. Although Fue Takuzo is the chairman, he is still subject to internal constraints within the Fue E family and cannot act recklessly to this extent. So, what other shady things are going on in this illegal underworld?

Nishimura Kyōhei pondered to himself.

Suddenly, he twitched his nostrils, sensing something was amiss.

Before Nishimura Kyōhei could react, a feeling of drowsiness had already swept over him. By the time Nishimura Kyōhei realized what was happening, it was too late.

Hypnotic smoke bombs have already been spread throughout the area.

In his last moments before losing consciousness, Nishimura Kyōhei vaguely saw a figure wearing a black cloak walk past him. Then, only one unbelievable thought flashed through Nishimura Kyōhei's mind.

He then fell into a deep sleep.

By the time he woke up again, the police had already arrived at the scene.

The riot police, dispatched urgently from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, quickly arrested the few remaining, also unconscious, and mangled yakuza members. They then helped Nishimura Kyōhei to his feet.
The temporary leader of the mixed mobile unit asked in confusion,
"What happened? Inspector Nishimura, why have you all fainted?"

Hearing this, even Nishimura Kyōhei couldn't help but feel a sense of bewilderment.
He could only answer,

"I only vaguely saw a black figure flash by before I passed out."

Meanwhile, in Wulingguo,
To ensure that the powerful weapon did not fall into the hands of arms dealers.

Conan and Heiji Hattori arrived at Goryokaku with their Star Prism Blades.
However, they had only just arrived at the center of Wulingguo.

The presence of armed mercenaries from all directions already illustrates a serious and chilling fact.

—They've fallen into a trap!

"Oh? It's not Phantom Thief Kid who's here, but the two of you."

The voice of Brian D. Mencang, the "Death Merchant," rang out.
He stared at the two people in front of him.
More accurately, he was staring at the star-shaped scimitar in Hattori Heiji's hand.

Upon seeing this, Hattori Heiji frowned.
He held the star-shaped blade in front of him, preparing to fight these mercenaries.
However, Conan knew that if a direct confrontation were to break out, he didn't need to think too much about the final outcome—

Hattori Heiji's sword was very fast.

Perhaps faster than a pistol bullet.
However, it is definitely inferior to submachine gun bullets.

However, if the target of the attack is expanded from submachine gun bullets to bullets from several submachine guns...

That would make them incomparable!

Conan reached out and took the star-shaped knife, saying...
“Brian, let’s talk.” “You want the treasure left behind by Keizaburo Axe, right? I think the reason you’re still here is because you don’t know the exact location of the treasure, because you’re missing this Star Prism Blade that I have.”

"But even if you get this Star Prism Blade from me, you still won't be able to find the treasure in a short time, will you?"

Conan's words made Brian frown.
That's true. If it weren't for that old bastard Fukushiro Ryogoku climbing all the way here before he died...
He had no idea that this was the key location to finding Keizaburo Tokie's treasure.

Even if Brian now has the Star Prism Blade,

It will also take him quite a while to pinpoint the location of the Axe River Treasure.

—But now, the commotion caused by those idiots from the Fujiang conglomerate is too big.

He doesn't have much time left.

Hearing this, Brian frowned and said,
"Even so, so what? What are you trying to say?"

Hearing this, Conan said seriously,
"In that case, I'll wait until I crack the secret of the Star Prism Blade."

"Why don't you just go find Keizaburo Axe's location then? It will only take a little time. After all, if we didn't know that the Star Prism Blade could solve the Pentagram puzzle, we wouldn't have come here, right?"

After a slight hesitation, Brian nodded slightly.

He said without any politeness,

"Alright, you go and crack it for me, that kid stays behind!"

Heiji Hattori and Conan exchanged a glance.
Then, Conan stated directly,

"it is good."

He climbed to the highest point of the Five-Ridge Fortress, wielding his Star-Piercing Blade. He glanced at the moat surrounding the fortress, which formed a five-sided star. The next moment, he raised his blade, aligning the moat's path with the five ridges of the blade's hilt.

The next moment, Conan clearly saw a mountain of unusual height standing out in the distance.

—Mount Hakodate.

Keizaburo Onoe hides the Onoe Treasure in the Hakodate Mountains!

Noticing the change in Conan's expression,

Brian's lips curled into a smirk; he immediately realized Conan had found the treasure's location. He gestured behind him, and instantly, everyone raised their submachine guns and aimed them at Hattori Heiji.
However, before the guns could fire,
Two of the men suddenly dropped their submachine guns, and several tranquilizer darts immediately struck several mercenaries who had surrounded Hattori Heiji. Brian immediately realized something was wrong.
He instinctively stepped back, but this was all within his expectations.
Kaito Kid is a master of disguise, so it's possible that he might replace his bodyguards. Although he doesn't know why two people would be replaced, it was all within his expectations.

Because Brian had also deployed bodyguards at various locations nearby.

If the situation changes, the hidden guards will immediately open fire, riddling the Phantom Thief Kid and Hattori Heiji in the center with bullets.

No, why haven't the gunshots been fired yet?
Brian suddenly realized,
He was about to turn and run away immediately.

However, in the next instant, accompanied by the sound of the grappling hook retracting, a black figure descended from the sky, suddenly throwing a puff of smoke at Brian's face, followed by a terrifying hallucination.

The black figure transformed into a bat larger and more ferocious than a human, looking as if it would devour its prey.
It emitted a sound that seemed to come from hell.
"tell me."

The bat stared at Brian in front of him and said,
Where is Takumi Fue?
