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

Chapter 319 Takeo Miura: Has My Plan Been Leaked?

—The Black Organization is clearly up to no good.

Takeo Miura was well aware of this, but now there was no other way to go. If he didn't take this opportunity to escape, he would only face certain death. Only then could he possibly extricate himself from this chaotic vortex.

"It's really troublesome."

Standing backstage at the Tokyo National Stadium, Takeo Miura said in a low voice,
He did not wear his signature black mask this time.
Because the effects of Batman's previous actions still linger inside the Black Mask, if he wears it, he will still experience the negative effect of mental confusion due to the bat. Furthermore, he has abandoned almost all of the Iron Man executives.

After all, while those steel industry officials were also him and could be trusted under normal circumstances, they also kept up with the news.

Once they discover that the main body has harmed their teammates or even directly erased their teammates' logical abilities, they will definitely turn against them. Although they may not necessarily stand on the opposite side, they will definitely not stand on the same side as them.

To prevent these clones from getting in the way, he simply erased all the information about Takeo Miura from the minds of these Steel Society executives whose thoughts were linked to his, thus turning them all into fools incapable of providing any information to the police.

Gunmen were loitering, or rather, patrolling, backstage at the Tokyo National Stadium.

They would ensure that no one would get in the way for a long time, which made it easier for Takeo Miura to have his gunmen plant bombs in various corners of the blueprints provided by Ireland, in preparation for the next operation.

Once all preparations are complete, and the time is right,
Takeo Miura will put on that black mask once again.

But this time it's not about controlling and brainwashing others, but about sending a signal to Batman, a signal for a final battle. When the time comes, an explosion, a collapse, will bury this only superhero of Beika Town under the ruins.

Everything should move in this direction.

Just as Takeo Miura was strategizing his next move.

Suddenly, a gunman ran over, and he said with some fear,

"Boss, officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department just arrived!"

"I know the leader. That guy is Inspector Megure from the First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He's always on the news. Do you think Inspector Megure's arrival means he's already figured out our plan?!"

Takeo Miura: ?
Are you kidding me? The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has that kind of capability?

All of this operation was planned offline, leaving no trace online. In other words, even Batman couldn't possibly uncover his plans using his incredible computer skills.

What exactly went wrong?

Takeo Miura's expression changed, and he said...

"Is the bomb almost installed? Give me the detonator."

"Now, take me out to see the world."

------

At this very moment, outside the Tokyo National Stadium.

Inspector Megure arrived at the scene with a group of officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi followed behind Inspector Megure, one on each side, seemingly acting as his bodyguards.
Inspector Megure himself said with some doubt,

"Someone shot a soccer ball at the Tokyo National Stadium? I know, but why?"

"What benefits can he gain from this shooting operation?"

He found it somewhat incomprehensible.
What's even more incomprehensible is that neither Mori nor Chen En were at the crime scene this time. Inspector Megure was a little troubled at the thought of having to use his long-sealed super intelligence, because his intelligence was just like the balance in his Swiss bank account!
He did not have a Swiss bank card.

"Well, I don't know either."

Noticing a hat had slipped off in the audience, I went over to pick it up.
But then they saw the field crew member on the ground with bullets lying around, and he said blankly,

"Look, this is the bullet."

He showed Inspector Megure the bullet casings he had dug out of the ground. As a veteran detective in the Criminal Investigation Department...
Inspector Megure knew the situation just by glancing at the type of the bullet casing.

He frowned and said,

"9mm pistol bullets?"

"The Beretta M92 pistol has a relatively short range, so the person who fired the shot must have been near the football..."

Before the words were finished, a flustered middle-aged man rushed out from the side.

He said nervously,

"I...I know what's going on!"

Mu Mu Police Department:?
Did you fire the gun?

Inspector Megure, Miwako Sato, and Wataru Takagi all turned their attention to the middle-aged man. Not only these three, but also the members of the Junior Detective League who arrived later, and Takeo Miura among the onlookers, were drawn to the attention.

Especially Takeo Miura.

He never dreamed that the reason the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's police cars arrived outside the Tokyo National Stadium before he even notified Batman was because some idiot was shooting a soccer ball with a pistol!
What is this guy trying to do? Is he out of his mind?
"Inspector Megure, this...this is a case of coercion!"

The speaker was Kaneko, a director at Nichiri TV.

The TV director said somewhat flusteredly,

"The criminal who just fired the shot called me!"

"He demanded that Nichibukai TV raise 50 million yen and place the money in the exit passage of Gate 18 at the Tokyo National Stadium, and that no one else be near the exit passage of Gate 18 during halftime!"

"Otherwise, he would randomly shoot and kill a spectator when the football match ends. All 56,000 people in the Tokyo National Stadium could be his hostages!"

Mu Mu Police Department:?
That's quite a move. Are you using a submachine gun? Why are you talking like that?

Although he harbored resentment, Inspector Megure knew that this matter was indeed difficult to handle.
After all, there are so many people inside the Tokyo National Stadium...

Inspector Megure frowned and asked.

"Couldn't you just stop the game and let everyone leave first?"

Upon hearing this, Jinzi's eyes widened, and she quickly said,

"No way! Whether it's Nichiri TV or anyone else, they've invested a lot of money in this football tournament. How can they just stop it like that? Besides, even if the tournament is suspended, there's still time to evacuate the crowd. What if the criminals kill someone during that time?"

—No, how could a criminal with the purpose of extortion possibly kill someone at that time?
Normally, after a failed extortion attempt, people would leave to find a new target, right? He dared to fire a shot at that moment, so there's absolutely no way he could have escaped from the Tokyo National Stadium unless he was planning a one-for-one trade, which is highly unlikely.

Inspector Megure smirked.
He picked up his watch, glanced at it, and said,

"There are still thirty minutes until halftime, let's go raise the money first."

"Since the killer fired from the audience, just called you, and no one else left the audience, it means the killer is still in the audience. I'll send plainclothes officers to keep watch."

"If he calls you again then, you can easily catch the criminal."

Takeo Miura's face was gloomy.

He quietly disappeared into the crowd. He had to think of a way to help the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department solve this criminal case and get these guys out of the Tokyo National Stadium as soon as possible. Otherwise, by the end of the game, it would be too late!

Would Batman really come to an arena without hostages to fight him?!
