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

Chapter 332 On How Many People Were Lying Around When Kiel and Bourbon Whiskey Met
—Black Mask, no, the Steel Society is not functioning properly.

Rena Mizunashi, a CIA agent codenamed Kir, was fully aware of this.

There must be a powerful backer behind this group of extraordinary individuals; otherwise, even if a criminal organization were to transform into a terrorist group and specifically oppose the Suzuki Foundation, it wouldn't have the financial resources to support their numerous large-scale operations.
Moreover, during last night's hostage situation,
Rena Mizunashi clearly sensed that Black Mask's attitude toward the live-streaming helicopter had suddenly changed.

She originally thought Black Mask was planning to blow up the live-streaming helicopter as soon as Batman arrived, and she was already prepared to take advantage of Black Mask's inattention and kill him and the hijackers.

However, after receiving a phone call, Black Mask's attitude changed abruptly, and he abandoned his original plan.

Therefore, Rena Mizunashi did not make a move from the helicopter.

That night, she kept thinking about why Black Mask's attitude had changed so drastically, and who was secretly supporting the Steel Society, giving this group of Black Masks in the Steel Society the capital to be so arrogant.

Until this morning, when I saw Black Mask trying to blow up the Tokyo National Stadium in order to lure Batman out —

Rena Mizunashi immediately understood what was going on.

This is undoubtedly the work of Ireland, the current head of the Black Organization's Tokyo district.
Even though she had a low profile within the Black Organization and little contact with other members, she had heard a little about the father-son relationship between Ireland and Pisco.
Pisco was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese Public Security Bureau, while Gin, who was initially believed to be the murderer, has been released.

Ireland will definitely search again for someone who might take action against Pisco. With disguise, voice imitation, and knowledge of some of the organization's inner workings, the candidates will be narrowed down. Excluding Vermouth, the most likely candidate is Batman.

—This Batman possesses an inexplicably bizarre and eccentric intelligence system.
She is able to accurately locate and eliminate criminals before they even make a move, nipping danger in the bud. She is also proficient in voice imitation and may even possess disguise skills similar to Vermouth's.

If Batman were to disguise himself as Gin and attack Pisco, that would indeed be a possibility.

"But if Ireland was supporting the Iron Men in attacking Batman, why was I, the deputy commander in Tokyo, completely unaware of it? Even if I knew this now, what would I gain from it?"

Rena Mizunashi couldn't help but start thinking.
It wasn't until she noticed a new message on her phone, from Bourbon Whiskey, the codenamed member of the organization who was close to Vermouth, that she was invited to meet.

The location is inside Poirot Cafe, located below the Mori Detective Agency.

Upon seeing this, Rena Mizunashi's eyes narrowed slightly.
She didn't know what Bourbon Whiskey's purpose was in contacting her, but just to be on the safe side, she should bring more people with her. If her identity was exposed, they could close the net and take Bourbon Whiskey with them.

After all, she's already the deputy head of the Tokyo regional organization, and it's impossible for her to rise any higher.

Polo Coffee Shop.

Rei Furuya greeted the mascot and received a warm welcome.
He sat calmly by the window in the coffee shop, waiting for Kir to appear, his gaze sweeping over other secluded spots—he had brought along quite a few members of the Japanese Public Security Bureau to ensure the meeting would go smoothly.

If this situation is difficult to handle and is somewhat special, then we should just kill Kiel; at least we can capture one of the cadres.

Then, Furuya Rei would pin the blame on the CIA or FBI, getting himself injured as well, to get close to Ireland and implement another plan.

Just as Rei Furuya was pondering, Rena Mizunashi pushed open the door and entered.

She glanced around, then sat down in front of Rei Furuya. The two faced each other, and for a moment, both Rena Mizunashi and Rei Furuya felt inexplicably awkward. They instinctively turned their heads to look elsewhere.
Noticing that there seemed to be some people who didn't belong to their side lying in ambush nearby, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

—What? Bourbon Whiskey/Kier actually brought people over?
Could it be that he/she knows what I want to do?!

Rena Mizunashi and Rei Furuya both gasped simultaneously.
To break the deadlock, Rena Mizunashi coughed twice and said...
You don't look well, is something wrong?

Upon hearing this, Furuya Rei's face darkened.
Although his complexion was naturally dark, any changes wouldn't be noticeable; he simply said...

"I don't feel very well, but it's nothing serious, don't worry."

“Kier, I’ve called you here today to talk about Ireland. I believe even an optimist like you has already noticed this overwhelming fact—” “Ireland is the one pulling the strings behind the Steel Society.”

Rei Furuya's words caused a look of surprise to appear in Rena Mizunashi's eyes.
The CIA undercover agent coughed and replied.
"I already know."

"Bourbon whiskey, is this all you called me over to say?"

Jiangu Ling:?

How did you know... Oh, you were the unlucky guy whose TV station was hijacked last night?

Rei Furuya just remembered that Kir's real name was actually Rena Mizunashi.

The name is exactly the same as the host who was kidnapped by the masked man last night. He didn't notice it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he only has one thought to say: "Wow, it really is you."

"Ahem, I've come to see you, but I only have one thing to say."

"Cooperation."

Rei Furuya leaned forward and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Rena Mizunashi also leaned down and asked,
"Do you think Ireland went too far by bypassing our two deputies and taking it upon themselves to avenge Pisco?"

"I had the same thought, but what do you mean by cooperation?"

Hearing this, Rei Furuya's lips curled into a smile, and he said,

"We unite!"

"Although Ireland was jointly appointed by that lord and rum as the Tokyo manager, he is ultimately a country bumpkin from out of town who came to Tokyo to beg for food. The two of us are the original code name members from Tokyo!"

"Look, we have common interests, common hidden dangers, and common goals. Can't we become friends?"

Rena Mizunashi nodded, feigning seriousness, and asked,
"You mean we should join forces and use this incident as an opportunity to take down Ireland?"

"So, after we take down Ireland, how will we handle the interests?"

Hearing this, Furuya Rei said in a low voice,

"We will return all the benefits that sir gave us!"

"We'll split the profits generated by the Tokyo City organization 50/50! We have two leaders, you're in charge, and I'm in charge too!"

—You're really something, you dare to think so big!

Rena Mizunashi pondered for a moment, then nodded. She extended her hand, and Rei Furuya did the same.

The two shook hands and said,
Our alliance is unbreakable!

Once I, Tamar, destroy Ireland, your death is nigh. x2
Tokyo only needs one person in charge; there's no need for a second person to share the profits! x2
The CIA agents and Japanese Public Security personnel crouching nearby fell silent.

Should we fight or not?

Let's go back and rest instead of fighting, today is a holiday!
