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

Chapter 434 Furukawa Teng: Oh no, my plan!
Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!
Guhe Teng's pupils contracted.

He considered himself to be among the most unruly criminals, second only to the Steel Society, but the scene before him still left him speechless, unsure of what to say.

—Even the Steel Society wouldn't be this crazy!

The Steel Society's target was solely the Suzuki Group; the target was clear and unambiguous. However, the Beika City Hall is currently filled with celebrities from all walks of life. How dare this attacker directly make a move?

If that explosive bullet had detonated in the crowd, countless celebrities would have perished as a result!
This attack can be considered more significant than the Steel Society's previous attack on the Suzuki Foundation headquarters, second only to the Steel Society's desperate attack on the Tokyo National Stadium. Regardless of who the sniper was...
After this shot is fired, he will definitely become the target of the powerful and wealthy in Tokyo!
No one can be an exception, not even the members of the shadow cabinet who previously supported him. In fact, the members of the shadow cabinet may be among the powerful figures whose lives are threatened!

"Who on earth did all this? It's insane, it's unbelievable!"

Guhe Teng exclaimed in surprise.

But his attention quickly shifted from the attack itself. His focus wasn't on who carried it out, but rather on confirming if anyone had been injured, so he could find an opportunity to approach.

However, to Furukawa Teng's dismay, it seemed that no one was injured as a result.

The ambulance didn't come.

It's impossible that they didn't call an ambulance because it was too expensive and they couldn't afford the fare, right? That's impossible. The powerful and wealthy people in Tokyo are all incredibly rich. How could they possibly be unable to afford an ambulance?

It appears that no one was injured in the attack.

Several police cars that had driven away earlier from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department quickly returned. Inspector Megure stopped the car at the main entrance of the Beika City Hall, then, with his bulky frame, he quickly got out and hid behind the vehicle.
He carefully observed the direction the sniper might fire, but to no avail.

At this very moment, Chen En appeared at the entrance of the Mihua Municipal Building.
This person, Guhe Teng, knew, though only on one hand.

He knew this person, but this person did not know him, because when Furukawa Teng was investigating the Suzuki Group, he noticed Suzuki Sonoko's little-known detective boyfriend, and then the many powerful figures inside the Beika Municipal Building.

Looking at this scene before him, Furukawa Teng felt a little envious.
Because Sonoko Suzuki was hiding behind Chen En, receiving his protection, there was a sense of reluctance to part with her.
He's the heir to the Suzuki Group, the most powerful conglomerate in the entire Kanto region. Cultivating a good relationship with Sonoko Suzuki, even if it's just a marriage into her family later, would be a huge stroke of luck, a meteoric rise to power.
Unfortunately, he never got that chance.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers are confirming the situation with relevant personnel, while Suzuki Foundation bodyguards are hovering around Sonoko Suzuki, Chen En, and Jirokichi Suzuki to prevent any further danger.

However, against long-range sniping, these people are meaningless and are simply throwing their lives away.

Fortunately, no longer any beyond-visual-range snipers will be able to snipe at this time, because the three snipers who would be sniping at this time have all been taken out by Shuichi Akai and Gin.

Looking at the scene of the crime, Furukawa Teng couldn't help but ponder it to himself.
In this situation, who is behind it? Generally speaking, such a large-scale operation could not possibly be the Shadow Cabinet. After ruling out the Shadow Cabinet, the next first choice would be the Steel Society, but the Steel Society is no longer around.

Therefore, even if Guhe Teng hadn't thought of it that way, it seemed that among the forces he knew of, there was only one left.

That's the Mud Ginseng Gathering.

If it wasn't the Mud Ginseng Society, then it was someone from the Dongchen Society who did it behind his back. Guhe Teng preferred to believe the first possibility; if it were the second, he might be overwhelmed by the pressure and trigger a massive purge within the Dongchen Society. But if it was the Mud Ginseng Society…

For some reason, Furukawa Teng suddenly remembered his attempt to connect with Kusakabe Makoto through an informant in the Mud Ginseng Association. If the Mud Ginseng Association were suddenly attacked and destroyed, would that informant still be of any use?
Is it possible for him to get close to Makoto Kusakabe and obtain information about Batman's whereabouts?

—Wait, Batman, something's strange.

Batman has close ties with the Suzuki Foundation. Now that the Suzuki Foundation's second daughter and her advisor have been assassinated, Batman should soon launch a heavy attack on the Muddy Sand Society. Wouldn't that mean the end of his informants in the Muddy Sand Society?
Buhao, my plan!
------

The headquarters building of the Mud Association.

As the headquarters of the Mud Sankai, the largest yakuza organization in Tokyo, the Mud Sankai headquarters building appears exceptionally grand, although there seems to be a slight shortage of young and promising personnel, which is to be expected.

Because the Mud Ginseng Festival had previously been attacked by festival killers,

Many of the Mud Conference cadres were assassinated by the holiday killers. Even those cadres who could sit in the top-floor conference room were mostly dead. If the Mud Conference could still appear so vibrant, there was only one possibility.

The Mud Ginseng Society has mastered the core technology for cloning gangster replicants.

Those with foresight within the Mud Sand Association could see that it was declining and might withdraw from the Tokyo scene at any time. Therefore, many were already preparing for their exit.
However, Ryotaro Ishida doesn't need to.

There is no other reason,

He was an inside agent planted in the Mud Ginseng Society by the Dongchen Society. In other words, Ishida Ryotaro didn't need to prepare an escape route; the Dongchen Society would naturally provide him with assistance to return to the Dongchen Society. He didn't need to worry about that at all.
If it weren't for the mission of collaborating with Seirin Kusakabe,
Ishida Ryotaro is probably already considering whether to leave the Muddy Ginseng Association and return to the East Star Association, since the Muddy Ginseng Association no longer has any information worth obtaining for him as an inside agent. He might as well return to the East Star Association as an executive as soon as possible.

—Yes, a mission in cooperation with Makoto Kusakabe.

He knew he was chosen by Furukawa Teng as his assistant. In fact, his background was real, but some details were deliberately concealed to avoid informing him of his collaboration with Kusakabe Makoto.

For example, the fights he got into after joining the Dongchen Society.

Completely oblivious to any potential crisis, Ishida Ryotaro was pondering what to eat later when he received a message from Furukawa Teng. It contained only one sentence:

Batman might be coming; get out of here immediately!

—Batman?

Ryotaro Ishida raised an eyebrow.
What are you talking about? How could Batman possibly come to the mud meeting? The chairman has been unusually quiet for the past few days. If Batman were to come to the mud meeting, he would eat this phone on the spot!
The next moment, shadows enveloped Ishida Ryotaro, who stiffly turned his head and then saw a horrifying scene.

Batman is really here!
