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

Chapter 283 The Most Powerful Person in This Country
"Shinichi, you're back."

Yusaku Kudo looked at his eldest son, his eyes filled with concern.

He had originally planned to come back with Yukiko to see Shinichi and attend the class reunion, but something came up and he couldn't get away, so Yukiko had to come back alone. Now he finally had the time and opportunity to meet Shinichi.

He asked,
"By the way, what was that photo all about? Are you planning to pursue a career in entertainment lately? Don't worry, your mother and I will always support you, no matter what path you choose!"

Conan:?
What are you doing?

What photo? You're not talking about that photo from chapter 100, are you?

How do you still remember? It's been so long!
Conan suddenly turned red.
Spinosaurus form, activate! Super Special Move: Huff!

"I said, let's not mention that photo anymore!"

The atmosphere at Professor Agasa's house was initially somewhat oppressive due to the heavy topics being discussed.

The situation eased up again immediately.
The air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Conan sat on the sofa with a sour face.
It was clearly because he was somewhat annoyed that his own parents were still bringing up his dark past.
This attitude clearly indicates they are related by blood.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare do this; children who aren't their biological offspring are more likely to have their oxygen tubes removed in their old age.

"Alright, Mr. Chen En, I have done as you suggested regarding the matter concerning Hiroki Sawada."

"It's a real shame about the timing of the Cocoon Games launch event. It was originally scheduled to take place in the next few days, but due to the terrorist attack by the Steel Society, the Cocoon Games launch event was also postponed."

"Chairman Thomas told me that he would not hold the Cocoon Game launch event again until the steel industry is eliminated."

Kudo Yusaku finally got down to business.

Chen En nodded in response, showing no surprise whatsoever.

He knew that although Thomas Sindora had Jack the Ripper's blood and fundamentally believed in solving problems through violence, he was, in reality, still a businessman incomplete.
Human nature is driven by profit, so it's normal to choose to postpone the event given the threat of a terrorist attack by a black-masked figure on the day of the press conference.

Chen En only had one sentence to say about this.

"Black Mask won't be around for much longer. At the latest, within a week, Black Mask will completely disappear from Tokyo."

Previously, the man in black had remained hidden, making no move whatsoever.

Chen En was still searching for a specific trace of the Black Mask.

Now, with the hijacking incident triggered by the black mask, just by recognizing the identities of the hijackers...

He could already more or less confirm the range of Black Mask's activities.

Finding the exact location of Black Mask in Tokyo is only a matter of time.

In response, Yusaku Kudo adjusted his glasses.
He became serious and said earnestly.

"I've also done some research on this."

"According to the investigation results of a friend of mine, Black Mask... I mean the chairman of the Steel Association, his true identity should be the young chairman of the Miura Group, which was acquired by the Suzuki Group more than ten years ago due to bankruptcy."

"His real identity should be Takeo Miura, who was active in Kanagawa Prefecture before, gathering people."

"However, Miura Takeo's power should not have developed to this point, because just a few years ago, Miura Takeo tried to squeeze into the Tokyo underworld as a member of the Steel Society, but was driven out by the Mud Ginseng Society and suffered a great loss."

“A normal yakuza organization should at least be completely crippled.” Kudo Yusaku’s voice grew increasingly serious.
"However, Miura Takeo inexplicably rose to prominence again and even returned to Tokyo. This time, the Mud Sand Association even abandoned its previous grudges and tacitly agreed that the Steel Association could occupy a part of the Tokyo underworld."

"This is not normal; someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Conan, who was originally in his Spinosaurus form,

Upon hearing the two discuss those secrets that would normally be unheard of, the underlying code of curiosity finally triumphed over the underlying code of yawning, and the person returned to normal.
He stroked his chin and asked, puzzled.

"Is it the Black Organization?"

—To be frank, Conan's understanding of various secret matters is not as good as Yusaku Kudo's.

Even if Yusaku Kudo has already settled abroad, it's still the same.

Therefore, when mentioning the possibility that someone might be manipulating things behind the scenes, deliberately causing the steel industry to return,
Conan's first reaction was that the Black Organization had succeeded.
Kudo Yusaku shook his head slightly at this.
"No, it shouldn't be the Black Organization."

“Shinichi, the Black Organization you mentioned is indeed powerful, but not powerful enough to control the Tokyo underworld. If they could do that, you wouldn’t have been able to witness the transaction.”

They have plenty of ways to make transactions legitimate.

There's no need to resort to such a risky method, let alone do something as outrageous as knocking Shinichi Kudo unconscious and then drugging him. The level of sophistication is simply incomparable.

"The Black Organization is unlikely, so what about Karasuma Renya?"

Chen En suddenly said,

Upon hearing this, Yusaku Kudo was stunned.

He looked up at Chen En, repeated the name Karasuma Renya, and then asked,
“Mr. Chen En, you mean Karasuma Renya? Karasuma Renya is already dead.”

"If he were still alive, he would have lived to be over 140 years old, which is impossible!"

Why would you suspect Karasuma Renya?

Hearing this, Conan finally had a chance to speak.
he said,
“When Chen En and I first met, he told me that the true leader of the Black Organization was Karasuma Renya, and that his current situation was unclear. He might have turned into an infant or something else to prolong his life.”

"So, who exactly is Karasuma Renya? I can't find this name online?"

—Of course, Karasuma Renya's name cannot be found online.

Karasuma Renya died before Earth entered the Internet age. The only thing that could be associated with Karasuma Renya is probably the "Twilight Villa Massacre," which has been concealed by celebrities and the powerful.

Yusaku Kudo's expression turned serious.

“I once investigated the Twilight Villa Massacre, which mentioned Karasuma Renya.”

"He is the head of the Karasuma family. It is said that the Karasuma family possesses a vast fortune equivalent to the combined wealth of all Japanese conglomerates. However, they are currently living underground. If he were still alive, he would most likely be the most powerful person in all of Japan."

"If Karasuma Renya really is the leader behind the Black Organization,"

"If the Black Organization is backed by the Karasuma family, then... Shinichi, your hypothesis isn't impossible. However, I don't understand why the Karasuma family would mobilize the yakuza in this way?"

"I don't know what he can get out of it."
