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

Chapter 285 Who is Batman?
The Suzuki Foundation, Chairman's Office.

At this moment, the core members of the Suzuki Foundation gathered together for the first time. Even Ayako Suzuki, who had left Tokyo, made a special trip back to participate in this "Trial by Three Judges" and stood with Shiro Suzuki and Tomoko Suzuki.

Sonoko Suzuki sat somewhat shyly opposite Tomoko Suzuki.
Jirokichi Suzuki stood behind Sonoko Suzuki, appearing as a completely trustworthy supporter.

—It seems that the situation is three against two, with the advantage lying with Tomoko Suzuki.

But in reality, this is not the case.
Ayako Suzuki has a naturally gentle personality and can't stand up for herself. Shiro Suzuki was already on Sonoko Suzuki's side, and only pretended to stand by Tomoko Suzuki's side to persuade her.
So, the situation was actually four against one, but Suzuki Tomoko was completely unaware of it.

"Sonoko, I want to know, who exactly was the person who saved you?"

"What Bear Grylls? There's no such person. It's a fake identity, but that's not important. What's important is that the person used your uncle's plane to rescue you, and he might even be the Batman from Hakodate City."

"Can you tell Mom who that person is? And what does he have to do with you?"

Tomoko Suzuki frowned and asked,
She wasn't ungrateful, of course; it's just that she had an innate insecurity about these things.
Therefore, I always want to get to the bottom of things.
To this, Sonoko Suzuki stammered, unsure how to answer Tomoko Suzuki for a moment.

Although she usually speaks to her mother in a very casual and straightforward manner,
However, the current situation really doesn't allow her to explain, and even making up an explanation is difficult.

Just then, Suzuki Jirokichi stepped forward.
He blocked Sonoko Suzuki's path and shouted.

"Tomoko, there's no need to investigate this further!"

"To be honest with you, that person is a friend I met in the United States when I was traveling around the world. He recently settled in Tokyo. I know Sonoko is in danger, and I feel that those rescue teams and Self-Defense Forces are unreliable."

"So, I specifically asked that person to come with me on the plane to rescue people, and then it's all over the place, you know what happened!"

—Jirokichi is indeed standing on the other side of the garden.

When Suzuki Tomoko saw Suzuki Jirokichi, her arrogance immediately subsided.
Then Suzuki Shiro, who was standing next to him, continued...

"In that case, this person has little to do with our Suzuki Group."

"Well, since they're unwilling to reveal their true identity, let's not delve into it. Let's just assume Batman is Bruce Wayne of Gotham City. Anyway, when the time comes, Jirokichi will naturally tell us!"

Shiro Suzuki put his arm around Tomoko Suzuki's shoulder and said,

"Besides, didn't we say before that when that person meets us again, it might be in an unexpected identity? Anyway, they won't do anything harmful to us, so let's look forward to it and have hope!"

Not only was Shiro Suzuki trying to persuade her, but Ayako Suzuki, who was standing next to him, also spoke earnestly.
"Yes, since that gentleman is a friend of my uncle's, he is unwilling to reveal his identity,"

"If you keep asking so many probing questions, won't that just worsen the relationship? Even just considering your uncle's interpersonal relationships, this isn't the time to be digging into this issue."

Tomoko Suzuki: ?
Why do I feel like I'm the only one being excluded?

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Superintendent General's Office.

At this moment, it was rare to have two Superintendents of Police gathered together in the Superintendent's office.

Superintendent General Whitehorse sat in the main seat.
Meanwhile, Inspector General Moroboshi stood by the window, looking towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department next door.

He no longer thought about things like "Japanese public security is really despicable."

He was just preoccupied with the football match.

—That was a football match held at the Tokyo National Stadium.

He has always enjoyed watching it, but he hasn't had much time lately. Now that the finals are coming up soon, Inspector General Moroboshi keeps thinking about taking his son, Hideki, to see what's going on.

That was a clash between the Tokyo Spirits and the Big Osaka team.

The Kanto and Kansai regions have always been at odds, let alone the final of a national football competition like this.

The scene is sure to be very lively.

Just as Deputy Inspector Moroboshi was pondering this,
The door to the Superintendent of Police's office was finally pushed open.

Inspector Megure, who had rushed back from his journey, arrived at the Superintendent General's office to report on his duties.
"Superintendent General Hakuba, Deputy Superintendent General Moroboshi."

"Inspector Megure, Third Division of the First Investigation Section of the Criminal Investigation Department, reporting for duty!"

In response, Inspector General Moroboshi turned and nodded to Inspector Megure.

Superintendent General Hakuba then inquired...

"Inspector Megure, could you please tell me about the situation in Hakodate City?"

"I heard from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters that the people who attacked you were actually from a local yakuza organization in Hakodate City. Is that true? And that the Hong Kong Police Department even colluded with Southeast Asian yakuza to let them into Hakodate City?"

These things are certainly true.

Inspector Megure nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

He gave a brief explanation of the situation in Hakodate City.
Upon hearing this, Superintendent Hakuba immediately frowned.

This situation sounds really worrying, and Hakodate can be seen as a cautionary tale for Tokyo.

Because of the previous frequent and repeated attacks on buildings owned by the Suzuki Group,

Even the people who hijacked that flight bound for Hakodate were members of the Steel Society.

This Steel Society was one of the illegal yakuza organizations that once existed in Kanagawa Prefecture.

In addition, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division, which specializes in dealing with yakuza groups, is now almost completely shut down.
Organized crime may become even more rampant than before.
It's hard not to suspect that Tokyo will repeat the scene in Hakodate.

In response, Superintendent General Hakuba immediately stated,

"Moroboshi, please inform Kuroda that he should report to me immediately upon his arrival. I need him to get down to business managing the Fourth Investigation Division right away. Thank you for your help."

Deputy Superintendent Morohoshi nodded in agreement.
He patted Inspector Megure on the shoulder before pushing open the door and leaving.
At this moment, Superintendent General Hakuba asked a rather serious question.

"Excuse me, Inspector Megure, it's said you encountered Batman in Hakodate City?"

What's your opinion of this Batman? What's his identity? Do you have any clue?

—It used to exist, but it's gone now.

Inspector Megure blinked.
He ran into Sato and Chiba when he returned.
Chiba mentioned that he was having lunch with Chen En at Poirot Cafe the previous afternoon.
Therefore, Inspector Megure replied,

"I know, it must be Bear Grylls!"

White Horse Superintendent: ?
