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

Chapter 490 Curaçao: I Avoid His Edge?
"Batman is moving towards the abandoned warehouse area!"

"While we are puzzled as to why Batman would go to such a desolate place to defuse the last bomb, based on our investigation and interviews, we can confirm that the infamous incident involving the 'Fellowship of Miracles' is related to this matter."

"The leader of the Miracle Magic Troupe, Motoyasu Tsukumo, died for unknown reasons."

"His daughter, seven-year-old Fumino Tsukumo, went missing this afternoon. We can suspect that Iron Man may have kidnapped this seven-year-old girl as a hostage to force Batman to go to her rescue!"

The presenter on Nichiri TV, gesticulating confidently and speaking earnestly in front of the camera, declared his authority.
So, will they be able to rescue this seven-year-old hostage? Let's wait and see!

—Wow, no, this is ridiculous!

Asako Miyoshi, one of the magicians in the Miracle Magic Troupe, stared blankly at the live broadcast on TV.

Beside Miyoshi Asako is the most outstanding and famous magician of the Miracle Magic Troupe, the "White Magician" Sanada Ichizo, who was invited by Suzuki Tomoko to confront Kaito Kid on the Queen Celeste.

Sanada Ichizo watched the television program for a while, then turned to look at Miyoshi Asako.
"Junior sister, I really have to advise you to turn yourself in."

"You can't be so unethical. How could you lay a hand on seven-year-old Wen Nai? And sell her to such vicious people as the Steel Society as a hostage? This can hardly be considered revenge anymore."

Others might not be able to see it, but Sanada Ichizo couldn't possibly not.

Although he is not as skilled in the field of magic as the top magician Kaito Kid, he is still a top-tier magician in Japan. He can tell exactly how someone uses magic techniques to kill someone with just one glance.

The leader of the Miracle Magic Troupe, whose teacher, Tsukumo Motoyasu, was killed by his junior sister, Miyoshi Asako.

However, Sanada Ichizo deliberately didn't expose her, and even helped Miyoshi Asako cover up her murder in front of the police, because he knew that Tsukumo Motoyasu being killed by Miyoshi Asako was purely karmic retribution.

Motoyasu Tsukumo killed Asako Miyoshi's brother, Yoshiro Kinoshita, who was known as a "genius among geniuses".

This led to the loss of her brother, who was only seven years old at the time, and she almost died. Now that Miyoshi Asako has grown up, she uses the magic skills she learned from Tsukumo Motoyasu to kill him and avenge her brother.

This is truly a case of cause and effect, a form of karmic retribution.

But to lay a hand on Fumino Tsukumo when she was only seven years old is a bit too cruel, isn't it? Back when Motoyasu Tsukumo assassinated Yoshiro Kinoshita, he didn't do anything to you.

"...I don't know."

"I just took Fumino on a picnic. Besides, Fumino went with her classmates. I just wanted to scare Madam Tsukumo. I didn't intend to hurt Fumino. That college student just called me to let me know he was safe."

Miyoshi Mako blinked and said, somewhat speechlessly.

Unscrupulous media outlets are reporting nonsense!
How could they possibly pin such a huge accusation on her? Have they no professional ethics whatsoever?

------

Ninety-nine coins will not be dangerous.

Chen En was well aware of this, because Kujuku was a classmate of the Junior Detective Club. They had gone on a picnic with the members of the Junior Detective Club, and it just so happened that their vehicle passed through the abandoned warehouse area.

However, the Black Organization did state in the previous explosion site that there were hostages at the final explosion site.

Therefore, Chen En decided to go and see what was going on.

—Shuichi Akai has just informed him that the plan has succeeded.

He is no longer in a hurry and has no worries.

Therefore, he can go all out and cause a ruckus. Without any worries, he is invincible in direct combat!

"Batman, your favorite Robin is at the apartment."

"He wants you to answer the phone, explain the situation, and how to handle it."

Ai Haibara's voice came through the headphones.

Chen En could vaguely detect a hint of helplessness in Ai Haibara's voice. Therefore, he simply replied,
"Tell Conan that I'm not here."

"This incident is almost over. We can talk about it when I get back."

------

Ai Haibara nodded, then turned to Conan and said,
Batman said he wasn't there.

Conan:?
Are you kidding me?

Can the person himself say he's not here?
Sometimes, people can actually laugh when they are very angry.

Conan was almost laughing in exasperation.

However, just as Conan instantly activated his Spinosaurus form and was about to unleash his fury on Ai Haibara...

Ai Haibara, skilled in training cats, uttered the second half of her statement.
He said the incident was almost over and that we could talk about it when he got back.

"There's no point in you rushing over there now."

"Why don't we stay here and wait for him to come back? Since Batman has said so, this matter should indeed be over. As one of the Robins that Batman trusts the most, you should trust Batman as much as Batman trusts you."

Conan:?
You make it sound like Chen En ever trusted me.

However, since Chen En has made it clear that he doesn't intend to talk about it, there's no point in dwelling on Ai Haibara's situation. Oh well, I'll just wait for Chen En to come back at the apartment. It shouldn't take too long.

Ireland has received a communication from Gin.

His eyes lit up.

Just as he had planned, sure enough, if Gin's operation went smoothly, then the delaying plan here would never have reached the final stage where Curaçao had to personally intervene.

He put his finger on his earphone and said,

"Curaçao, the plan has succeeded."

“Now you can take your men and leave directly from the warehouse. Rye Whiskey is dead, and you're no longer needed to hold Batman back. All you need to do now is—”

"No."

Curaçao's voice came through.

Her voice held a hint of hesitation as she spoke.
"Batman is here."

—What? So fast?
A look of shock appeared in Ireland's eyes.

Gin's actions were faster than he had anticipated, as was Batman's bomb disposal, to the point that both sides were able to achieve a synchronized pace of progress!
His sniper rifle was aimed at the black motorcycle.

However, the motorcycle was going too fast, and in the blink of an eye it crashed into the abandoned warehouse in Curaçao. Seeing this, Ireland gasped and quickly said...

"Curaçao, retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"The operation has been a success, and you have no obligation to face an invincible enemy."

Curacao:?

Batman is indeed very powerful.

But I'm not weak either, am I?
Should I avoid him?
