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

Chapter 297 Bomb you, otherwise what else can you use to bomb me?
"Regarding the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's operation in the abandoned warehouse area today, what is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's reaction? Officer Shiratori, could you please provide some details? Are there any new results?"

Reporters with their cameras and microphones had completely surrounded the entrance to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Shiratori Ninzaburo, who was a step too late in fleeing, fell silent.

At this point, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department can no longer admit that, apart from picking up two vans following Batman and arresting a group of traders who had been taken down by Batman, they accomplished nothing else in this operation.

The television was broadcasting live footage of a reporter's interview.

Looking at Shiratori Ninzaburo's embarrassed appearance on TV, Suzuki Jirokichi, sitting in front of the television, knew without asking that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department probably hadn't done anything of merit in this matter, relying entirely on luck.

However, Jirokichi Suzuki was not surprised by this situation at all, and even said he was used to it.

Expecting Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers to play high-level games is unrealistic to begin with.

After all, compared to police officers in other places, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers, who have a relatively lower crime rate, are also less capable. They already struggle to deal with ordinary gangs, let alone the terrorists of the Steel Society.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Jirokichi changed the channel.

This time, the television station's helicopter risked being summoned by the police to broadcast footage of the abandoned warehouse area. Although they were quickly warned to leave by officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department,
However, the sharp-eyed Jirokichi Suzuki was still taken aback.

There is no other reason,

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, Jirokichi Suzuki still noticed the tattered bat emblem beside it.
That seemed to be the Bat-modified car that he had arranged to be placed in the temporary Bat Cave near Chen En's apartment. How come the car was blown to pieces, and even the toughest bat symbol was damaged like this?
What happened?! The Tokyo Steel Society is actually more formidable than the Southeast Asian mercenaries of Hakodate?!

Jirokichi Suzuki's face immediately darkened.

He was a little worried that Chen En might also be in danger. After all, even his car was blown to pieces, so it was hard to imagine that the person sitting in the car could be unharmed.

Even disregarding the fact that Chen En saved Sonoko's life, just looking at his relationship with Sonoko...
Suzuki Jirokichi could not stand idly by and watch Chen En possibly encounter danger.

Just as he picked up his phone, preparing to dial Chen En's backup phone to check on Chen En's situation,
The phone rang.

However, this wasn't just on Jirokichi Suzuki's phone, but also on his back.

Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

The next instant, Suzuki Jirokichi abruptly turned his head to look behind him.

Sure enough, Chen En, wearing his perfectly intact Batsuit, was standing there sometime earlier.

He pressed the call button on the phone he had just taken from his bat-shaped belt and said it to Suzuki Jirokichi,
"Is there something you need, Uncle?"

Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

Is this some kind of ritual?
You're already standing right in front of me, so don't bother pressing the call button. Just say what you want to say.

Jirokichi Suzuki was speechless.
He looked Chen En up and down, examining his bat-themed suit.

The suit appeared to be undamaged.
Immediately, Suzuki Jirokichi breathed a sigh of relief, gestured to the side, and said,

"Sit first."

Hearing this, Chen En finally sat down.
He looked at Suzuki Jirokichi, who asked first,

What happened in the abandoned warehouse area?

"Why did the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department mobilize so many personnel? Why was your Batmobile blown to pieces? Did you encounter some extremely difficult and special situation?"

Hearing this, Chen En took a sip of the coffee cup he pulled out from somewhere and said,
"It's just that the Steel Society bought a batch of explosives that could blow up at least ten Suzuki Group headquarters buildings."

Jirokichi Suzuki nodded slightly.
Oh, I thought it was something else, but it's just explosives...

Wait, how much explosives did you just say?
Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

"So much explosives?!"

"The amount of bombs used by the Steel Society in the previous bombings is inconsistent with the amount of bombs that disappeared on the black market. Logically, the Steel Society shouldn't have run out of their previous bomb stockpile!" "Why would a criminal organization like them buy so much explosives?!"

To this, Chen En replied matter-of-factly.

"Of course it's used to bomb you, otherwise why would I be bombed with it?"

"The Steel Society doesn't know where I am. Moreover, judging from the Steel Society's targeted attack on the plane Sonoko was on and the attacks on multiple Suzuki Group companies, it's clear that the Steel Society's goal is to eliminate the Suzuki Group."

"As for why my Batmobile was blown up... well, another group of people were behind it."

Chen En narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke.
“I investigated the steel industry association and the traders involved, and they didn’t plant any explosives in the warehouse area. Therefore, these explosives could only have been planted by someone else,”

"As for why it exploded right when I got there, it could be due to accidental killing, or it could be that it was aimed at me."

"It's not easy to tell, but the sniper who attacked me later was definitely an assassin sent by another group. I plan to finish my business and then go find that sniper to see if I can get any information out of him."

—How could it be an accidental killing? They were clearly after you!

Would ordinary citizens of Beika Town just randomly plant bombs and accidentally injure passersby?
Suzuki Jirokichi thought to himself,

He didn't quite agree with Chen En's idea, but suddenly realized the crux of the matter and said with some doubt,

"You said 'after we finish getting things done'? What do you mean by 'after we finish getting things done'?"

"What do you want to do?"

Although I didn't have much contact with Chen En,

However, Suzuki Jirokichi had a general idea of ​​Chen En's personality.
This person is the typical type who only visits the temple when they have a reason.

His emotional intelligence isn't very high, so it's unlikely he'd come specifically to let him know he's safe.

So, is there something else you want to do during this visit?

Hearing this, Chen En took a sip of coffee, looked up at Suzuki Jirokichi,
Then he said,

"I plan to install hidden cameras in various locations within the Suzuki Group headquarters building, and leave some remotely controllable mechanisms to prevent Black Mask's men from targeting the Suzuki Group headquarters building."

"To avoid any misunderstanding, Uncle, let me tell you something first."

Jirokichi Suzuki blinked.

He had just been thinking that the Suzuki Group headquarters building didn't already have surveillance cameras, when he realized that Chen En meant to install a separate surveillance system exclusively for Chen En as a double safeguard.

After a moment's thought, Suzuki Jirokichi finally spoke.

"Alright, go ahead. If any problems arise later, I'll handle Shiro and Tomoko's situation."

However, Chen En did not move.

Upon seeing this, Suzuki Jirokichi's heart skipped a beat, and he said,

"You were planning to tell me before you set up the traps and hidden cameras, right?"

Chen En blinked.
Doesn't speak.

Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

What?! Acting first and asking questions later? Is this what you call high efficiency?

So you're just telling me that regardless of whether I agree or disagree, you can install the same security devices and cameras as before, right?
