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

Chapter 305 Rei Furuya? What are you doing in the building?

At this very moment, three-fifths of the team that Black Mask was sent to infiltrate the Suzuki Group headquarters building had already disappeared without a trace.

However, the remaining two-fifths were completely unaware of this.
They even thought that everything was proceeding according to plan.

The black-masked squad on the first floor looks like this.

The same applies to the armed squad on the seventh floor. There aren't many usable mechanisms in the corridor where this armed squad is located. Therefore, Chen En told Ai Haibara to stop fighting and let him deal with this squad.

However, the armed squad on the seventh floor was completely unaware of Batman's arrival.
They scanned the offices on the seventh floor, feeling something was off.
—Are there really so few people working the night shift at the Suzuki Group?

This is the largest conglomerate in the Kanto region. Shouldn't they all be unscrupulous capitalists?
What about heartless factories that exploit their employees without any compassion or mercy?

The armed squad dispersed, and the squad leader was prepared to take hostages and plant bombs.

But, in that very instant,

The squad leader sensed something was off.

He felt a bit quiet.

Although it was quiet before, it's now excessively quiet.
He subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, only to see a black figure standing there.

A cape, a metallic-looking suit, a black bat emblem, and a pair of pointed ears.

Without a doubt, this is the real-life superhero who almost single-handedly left all the Iron Society's vehicles behind in the abandoned warehouse area—Batman!

"It actually exists..."

A hint of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the armed squad leader.

He raised his gun, aimed it at Batman, and was about to fire, but after pulling the trigger several times, he heard no gunshot and felt no recoil. In astonishment, he looked down at the gun in his hand.

—The magazine inside the magazine disappeared.

"Are you looking for this?"

A hoarse voice sounded.

Chen En picked up the magazine in his hand; the metal gauntlets reflected a cold, metallic sheen.
In front of the squad leader, he lightly squeezed the magazine, and it deformed instantly. The squad leader stared in disbelief as the magazine fell to the ground, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Finally, the squad leader looked up and said,

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

Boom!
With a powerful, heavy bat-like punch, the squad leader was sent flying into the air before crashing heavily to the ground, motionless and unconscious.

Upon seeing this, the staff in the surrounding offices beamed with joy and cheered quietly.

"That's great, Batman! That's how you should fight! No, that's the only way!"

"Those who dare to cause trouble at the Suzuki Group headquarters are no ordinary thugs; we must strike hard!"

The members of this armed squad have been dealt with by Chen En at full speed.

Especially since they had split up and were preparing to take this layer of staff hostage,
That's incredibly simple.

Not much to say,
Chen En turned around and disappeared into the smoke.

Just seconds later, he reached the stairwell. The next moment, he vaulted over the stair railing and jumped down, grappling hook in hand, and pressed the fire button.

The grappling hook allowed him to return to the first floor silently and safely.

"—Now, it's time to take care of the remaining locations on the first floor and prepare to control the masked squad in the lobby." Chen En made his assessment.

He wrapped the large bag full of explosives he was carrying inside a bag he had exchanged for one point, and put it into the six-slot storage belt where he had already cleared space and discarded his wheelchair. Only then did he move toward the location reported by Ai Haibara.

However, just as Chen En punched the black-masked squad member next to him,

Ai Haibara said with some surprise,
"Bourbon whiskey?!"

"Batman, Bourbon Whiskey is on the first floor of the Suzuki Corporation building. He's attacking members of the Black Mask team... Why? How does he know the exact location of those team members without any prior information, allowing him to launch a sneak attack?"

Chen En: ?
Bourbon whiskey? Zero Furuya?
How did this guy end up here? Is the Japanese Public Security Bureau that capable? They even noticed this?

A hint of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He set aside the Black Mask Squad members beside him and moved towards the next location according to the point Haibara Ai had given him. Following this route, they would inevitably meet at the same point.

—That's the leader of the Black Mask Squad, Black Mask.

The cadres of this steel association are of paramount importance.

If the Steel Society's executives cannot be eliminated, given the Black Masks' ability to share information without knowing what's going on, this plan to lure them out will completely fail.
When the black mask disappears again, it will be difficult to find it.

------

"It feels so quiet on the first floor of the Suzuki Building."

"It feels like countless eyes are staring at me. Is it just my imagination?"

The Steel Society executive wearing a black mask frowned.
He subconsciously touched his black mask, feeling its texture, which calmed him down a little.

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

After all, the memories associated with the mask have recently been accompanied by some negative and confused thoughts.

Coupled with the mental confusion caused by removing the mask, perhaps the combination of the two factors led to this illusion in him.

However, just as Black Mask picked up the communicator,
When I was about to ask how the other squads were doing with their equipment,
Two figures appeared simultaneously behind the black mask.

The man in black didn't say a word.
He fell asleep without batting an eye, displaying remarkable integrity.

It was only at this moment that Rei Furuya truly saw this superhero who seemed like an urban legend.

"Batman..."

Rei Furuya looked rather unwell.
He looked at Chen En in front of him and said seriously,

"I'm here to help you, you can completely trust me!"

Chen En: ?
Trusting you is just asking to be sold out, isn't it?
Just as Chen En was dismissing this with disdain,
Rei Furuya suddenly said,
"I know you have terrifying skills that allow you to hack into hundreds of computers at once. Database defenses are probably no match for you. You may have already found out my identity."

"But aren't you curious? Curious as to why I'm here?"

Rei Furuya squinted his eyes.
“I know that Makoto Kusakabe must have some kind of connection with you, otherwise Makoto Kusakabe would not have changed so much after you saved him, and would have taken the initiative to participate in those social gatherings that he would not normally participate in to collect information.”

"Therefore, from any perspective, we have reasons to cooperate."
