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

Chapter 349 The White Horse Scout's Narrow Escape
This was the most dangerous situation he had encountered since becoming a detective.

The comeback performance of Günter von Goldberg II, the world's greatest illusionist, was a highly targeted trap, aimed at eliminating any possibility of his identity being investigated and uncovered.

White Horse emerged from the alley, looking somewhat disheveled.

He had been pursuing the illusionist since the beginning, seeking evidence that Günther von Goldberg II was the illusionist killer and wanting to bring him to justice, but the illusionist killer had never taken him seriously.
It wasn't until this time, when the illusionist noticed that he had been chasing him all the way from Japan to Canada, that a trap was set and the killer was brought down.

Moreover, the person who made the move was not just the illusionist. Hakuba Saguru also encountered a strange phenomenon that could not be described by illusion, which shows that Günter von Goldberg II was not the only one who wanted to kill him.

There is at least one second assassin accomplice with supernatural abilities who works alongside him.

"I almost died at their hands this time."

Hakuba Saguru leaned against the wall, feeling the long-lost sense of solid ground beneath his feet, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly slid down to sit on the ground, took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and then said...

"At 20:35:23 PM, I escaped from the illusionist's attack."

He looked up and glanced at the falcon named Watson in the sky—

The illusionist's illusions only work on humans; the other assassin wouldn't notice anything unusual about the birds in the sky. Therefore, Watson's presence in the air serves as a warning.

Watson would warn the assassins as soon as they approached Hakuba.

Hakuba Saguru didn't initially plan to bring Watson along.
He chose to bring Watson out because someone warned him. Hakuba Saguru didn't know who that person was, but if he had to guess, it wouldn't be a definitive answer.

Hakuba Saguru thinks it must be a magician or a witch.

There was no reason why; it was simply a detective's intuition.

He has already contacted other people to come and help.
If nothing unexpected happens, the rescuer should arrive very quickly.

The vehicle appeared in front of Hakuba Saguru in the blink of an eye.

The person in the driver's seat was a stern-looking old woman with purplish-gray curly hair, a hooked nose, wearing a suit jacket over a black turtleneck sweater, and thin-chained glasses. She turned to look at Hakuba Saguru and said...
"Young Master White Horse, get in the car quickly, I'll take you away from here!"

Hakuba Saguru nodded slightly and said...

"Oh, thank you so much, Granny Shikibu."

—This old woman is Hakuba Saguru's housekeeper.

Her full name is Shikibu Shikazuko. She is one of Hakuba Saguru's most trusted people. Now that he is in mortal danger, Hakuba Saguru's first reaction is to ask Shikibu Shikazuko to come and help him. Apart from that, he does not trust anyone in Canada.

Shikibu Shikiko nodded and immediately led Hakuba Saguru towards the outskirts of the city. At this moment, Günter von Gothenburg II's expression was quite unpleasant.

The reason is simple: the assassination attempt against Hakuba Saguru failed. Not only did it fail, but it also exposed a huge flaw in his identity, revealing a real loophole that could be disproven!

The fact that Günter von Goldberg II was the illusionist assassin Spider of a mysterious organization...

It is estimated that the news will soon spread within major intelligence organizations. The speed at which it spreads is far beyond what Günther von Goldberg II's identity can be salvaged through public relations efforts. This identity is truly unusable now!
Even the money in this identity's bank card must be withdrawn immediately through other channels, otherwise there is a high possibility that it will be frozen!
After all, people from all over the world have been keeping a close eye on this mysterious organization.
If he is confirmed to be Spider, the assassin from a mysterious organization, then there will be plenty of people to deal with him. Even Swiss banks might not be able to withstand such pressure for an assassin from a mysterious organization!
"Damn it, why? How did Hakuba Saguru know about our attack all along?"

"Could it be that our mysterious organization also has a mole like the Black Organization next door? That shouldn't be the case. There are only three people who know about this plan: me, that gentleman, and you."

"Obviously, I couldn't be the mole, and that gentleman certainly wasn't either, so that means..."

The spider raised its head and looked at the witch before it, dressed in traditional magician's attire, her exposed body mostly wrapped in bandages—this was the helper the spider had found for itself.

After being chased by that witch all the way in Tokyo.

He pondered how to return to Tokyo and take revenge on Batman, Phantom Thief Kid, and the witch. However, he realized that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for him to face three powerful opponents at the same time: Batman, Phantom Thief Kid, and the witch.

Therefore, the spider decided to fight witch with witch, and found another witch.
He then planned to rehearse his revenge plan and set his sights on Hakuba Saguru, the famous high school detective in the British Isles.

Moreover, this guy is persistently tracking his whereabouts, trying to bring him to justice.

Therefore, the spider decided to target Hakuba Saguru first, intending to kill him to ensure the identity could function properly, but ended up suffering a crushing defeat.

Hakuba Saguru seemed to have known their plans in advance.
He was able to accurately evade fatal damage within the trap zone, even using a strategic retreat to advance, obtaining irrefutable proof that Günther von Goldberg II was indeed the Spider, and then left triumphantly.

Spider simply doesn't believe there wasn't an inside man acting as a liaison!
The spider eyed the witch before it with suspicion.
However, the witch merely glanced at him before speaking impatiently.
"I took your money, so naturally I'm helping you deal with Hakuba Saguru. Why should I help him?"

"This escape of Hakuba Saguru has nothing to do with me. Even if it was because of a leak, it could only be because of a leak on your side. I'm not like you, I would tell other people about my plans!"

spider:?
Could it be that the man's true identity is actually a mole planted by Phantom Thief Kid within the organization?
A crazy idea popped into the spider's mind.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought and fell into deep thought, wondering what the reason for all this was. To this, the witch replied...
"When you came to me before, didn't you say you wanted me to help you deal with the witch and Batman in Tokyo?"

"If that's the case, why do you still think it was me or you who leaked the secret, instead of thinking it was the witch of Tokyo who was behind it? You can't possibly not know that the prophetic magic of the crystal ball and the magic mirror is a required course in the witch's inheritance, can you?"

—The Witch of Tokyo?
A hint of surprise flashed in the spider's eyes, followed by a look of understanding.

This reminded him that the witch had a grudge against him, and there was indeed a possibility that she might deliberately try to annoy him!
