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

Chapter 448 Chain Reaction
As it turns out, Tomoko Suzuki was not a fool.

No sooner had Suzuki Sonoko, Suzuki Jirokichi, and Chen En left the manor than Suzuki Tomoko realized that this group had set her up. Her face darkened, and she called Suzuki Jirokichi and Suzuki Sonoko back.

As a result, Sonoko Suzuki's plan to take Chen En out for a celebratory outing today was completely ruined.

However, Tomoko Suzuki showed no intention of withdrawing the previous betting agreement.
After careful consideration, she felt that the deal was relatively worthwhile, and she had no reason to break her promise and withdraw the agreement, thus damaging her admirable image in front of her daughter.

—Besides, this is just money moving from one hand to the other, so it doesn't cause any problems.

Before leaving, Jirokichi Suzuki, who had originally planned to go to the new corporate headquarters building with Chen En, told Chen En with a sigh that he had already delivered the Noah's Ark supercomputer to the new company.

When Chen En goes to the headquarters building, remember to unpack and test it to see if there are any problems.

In response, Chen En naturally prepared to head to the new company's headquarters to inspect the Noah's Ark supercomputer. As the saying goes, it's better to have the money in hand than to be caught without risk. The creation of a supercomputer capable of running Noah's Ark and Cocoon games was a matter of chance.

If it were truly destroyed, he estimated that it would take him and Noah's Ark and Professor Agasa quite some time to reconstruct it.

Although, relatively speaking, the macroscopic time frame of the Detective Conan worldview is worthless.

But his sensory time is still very valuable, and he doesn't intend to spend the extra time developing a new supercomputer, as that would seriously affect his development plans.

However, just as Chen En was preparing to go directly to the new corporate headquarters building,
His phone rang somewhat abruptly.

Chen En took out his phone, glanced at the messages, and then sighed.
It seems he has other things to take care of.

The timeline for checking the supercomputer capable of running Noah's Ark will have to be postponed.

This is a call from Shuichi Akai.

------

Tokyo, FBI Provisional Headquarters.

James Black is typing on the keyboard.

Shuichi Akai has already reported to him what happened at the Beika Municipal Building last night, so he is currently processing the investigation information on the three snipers online.

Although in some places, a dual-track information processing method has already been implemented at this point in time.

However, as a relatively advanced intelligence organization in electronic technology, the FBI naturally does not have enough trust in the confidentiality of information from online channels. Therefore, the FBI now uses a two-tiered information processing method.

This means that after an action or investigation is completed, the information is archived on paper and then an electronic copy is uploaded to the database.

This explains why Chen En hadn't found any information about the three snipers after scanning the FBI database several times.

The FBI did not use online channels to transmit information, but instead used a confidential fax machine. Personnel information was not archived. All of these were only archived and sealed after the security review was completed, just like the investigation files of Melancholy.

—Without anyone noticing, the FBI defeated Batman, who possessed advanced technology, with its inferior information processing methods.

Of course, James Black, completely unaware that the FBI had tricked Batman, simply kept filing the information.

Originally, Scott Green, Timothy Hunter, and Kevin Yoshino were only suspected of committing the crime. Headquarters ordered them to undergo a security review, which would normally be a very complicated process.

But that's no longer necessary, because all three have been officially confirmed dead by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

There's no need to investigate a dead person; just declare them dead. "James, was it Shuichi who made the move this time?"

Judy Sterling asked hesitantly,

Normally, she should have been investigating the theft at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department last night with other FBI agents, but because of her previous investigation into the Mud Party, she discovered the connection between the three snipers, which proved to be a great help.

Therefore, James Black deliberately gave Judy Stairyn a day off so she could rest a bit.

However, there are no classes at Teitan High School today.

Judy Sterling wasn't really interested in playing games, so she decided to harass James Black at the FBI's temporary headquarters.

What she's curious about now is whether the person who took action against the sniper near the Beika Municipal Building last night was Shuichi Akai. If so, then the person who infiltrated the local headquarters earlier was also Shuichi Akai.

Although she was merely Shuichi Akai's ex-girlfriend

However, she still harbored some unusual feelings for Shuichi Akai, after all, her breakup with Shuichi Akai was due to his need to infiltrate the Black Organization, something she had no choice but to do.

She was puzzled as to why Shuichi Akai had returned to Tokyo but hadn't come to see her, as if he was hiding something from her.

—Shuichi Akai would never have done something like this before.

In response, James Black glanced sideways at Judy Stairs.

He paused for a moment, then nodded and answered.
"Indeed."

James Black knew Jodie Starling better than anyone else in the world today.

Twenty years ago, when Jodie Starling was consumed by anger and hatred after losing both her parents to Vermouth, it was James Black who persuaded her to join the witness protection program.

Even now, Judy Sterling's joining the FBI was arranged and orchestrated by James Black.

He naturally knew about the relationship between Jodie Starling and Shuichi Akai.
However, he couldn't say much. Should he say that after Shuichi Akai infiltrated the Black Organization, he deliberately approached Akemi Miyano to trick her into giving him information, but ended up getting himself caught up in the deception and risking his life to come to Tokyo to rescue Akemi Miyano?

— He approved Akemi Miyano's witness protection program, and he knows the details of the matter very well.

Therefore, James Black simply rubbed his forehead and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, Akai said that when he was conducting a counter-sniping operation against three criminal suspects at the Beika City Hall, he encountered Gin, a codenamed member of the Black Organization—a formidable opponent."

"As you know, Akai is someone the Black Organization members would absolutely kill without hesitation."

"So, he's not coming to see you for your safety. I've already informed Akai to leave Tokyo temporarily to avoid trouble. He might come to see you in a while."

Although the possibility is not very high.

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry appeared in Judy Sterling's eyes.

All she can do now is hope that Shuichi Akai is safe and sound.
