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

Chapter 577 The Night Knight Still Watches
Beika Town, a city of vice.

It's hard to imagine how many cases occur in this city every day to support 96 crematoriums operating around the clock.

The common people here are like NPCs on the roadside, refreshing at fixed times every day, and their numbers don't decrease no matter how many people die.

Chen En knew the reason.

No matter how dangerous or terrifying Beika Town may be, it is still one of the districts in Tokyo.

Even though this country doesn't have a capital in name, the Tokyo metropolitan area, as one of the world's three major metropolitan areas, is itself the country's economic and cultural center.

It is [the capital that is not the capital city].

People will always flock to Tokyo from all directions, and the low housing prices in Beika Town due to the series of murders will create a siphon effect, continuously attracting other ordinary people to move in.

"It's really troublesome."

Chen En said in a low voice.

He hasn't had a break for a while, working almost non-stop every night as various events occur one after another.

Especially tonight.

Although the explosive trap at the Dongchen Society headquarters could not harm him in the slightest, it did cost him his current position as the president of the Dongchen Society.

What could possibly motivate this criminal organization to commit such heinous acts?

Just because they changed their leader and their backers, do they really dare to do such a thing?

Doesn't the current leader of the Dongchen Society realize that doing this will leave them with nowhere to stand in the entire city of Tokyo?
No matter how much money you have, you have to be alive to spend it. Their behavior is completely contrary to normal interests.

It's impossible that the modern Moriarty was a complete idiot who never thought of this, right?

"King has already made contact with Yuji Isehara's wife and children in Kanagawa Prefecture."

The voice of Noah's Ark echoed in my ears.

Chen En lightly tapped his earphones with his finger and asked in a low voice.

"How is it? Is he okay?"

"Regardless of whether what Yuji Isehara said is true or false, the hostages are real, and we cannot allow their lives to be in danger."

"Noah's Ark replied upon hearing this."

"Just as you guessed."

"Yes, Yuji Isehara did not get married. He simply modified the contents of the system archive and created a new photo."

"He used this method to make the Zorro Bandits think that they had his weakness and could threaten him into working for the Zorro Bandits."

"But in reality, it was just someone unrelated to him; King couldn't find any paper records about the marriage."

"King has rescued them. Both the adult and the child are safe and sound and have been taken to the hospital for treatment."

— Yuji Isehara is lying.

Chen En knew about this from the beginning, even though he had not received any training in interrogation.

However, martial arts itself contains a lot of techniques for judging the opponent's intentions and observing their subtle movements; he simply used these techniques in everyday conversations.

Clearly, this top hacker is not good at managing his facial expressions.

At least when facing Batman, his facial expressions were not well-controlled.

Therefore, Chen En had already realized that Isehara Yuji was lying at that time.

He was simply repeating the same old trick, trying to make Batman believe that he had grasped Yuji Isehara's weakness.

"Have King continue to maintain contact with the Zorro Bandits. I want him to make sure the Zorro Bandits don't know that the hostages have been rescued."

“I will transfer the final payment after everything is done,” Chen En said.

Extraordinary matters require extraordinary means, and he had no qualms about hiring King.

He had no pity for these thugs who used poison gas and arson to kill entire families. If it were him, he would at most spare his life and then be sent to a sanatorium to live as a lifelong vegetable.

As for Yuji Isehara?
Chen En had just activated his Oracle state for five minutes, and using the computer technology of the Oracle state, he had already gained a complete understanding of all of Isehara Yuji's electronic information.

This guy has a deposit in an overseas bank, and it seems he plans to settle things here and then flee far away with the deposit.

Chen En successfully transformed that deposit into something tangible but intangible.

If Yuji Isehara dares to use that deposit, it will be immediately frozen by the bank, and Chen En will then notice that Yuji Isehara is preparing to abscond.

However, Yuji Isehara himself was completely unaware of this.

Although this top hacker is already considered quite outstanding in the world of Detective Conan.

Standing before Chen En, who had entered a divine state, Isehara Yuji's skills were far behind, and he was no match for Chen En.

Once this incident is over, Chen En will send Yuji Isehara directly to prison.

Or he could stay and assist with the program development work on his side. Of course, he knew that a genius like Yuji Isehara would definitely leave a hidden door in the program.

However, the problem is that with the two-layer screening process of Chen En in his divine state and Noah's Ark, these secret doors can be eliminated immediately and are insignificant.

As cattle and horses, they are still good sources of labor.

"By the way, have you found out where Furukawa Teng is now?"

Chen En asked the final question.

Upon hearing this, Noah's Ark remained silent for a moment, seemingly searching for relevant information, before finally replying.

“Guhe Teng seems to have appeared in the alleyway area, but he was in a hurry, as if he was being chased by someone.”

"The specific details are currently unknown."

—It seems that we won't be able to find Guhe Teng, the former president of the Dongchen Association, anytime soon.

However, it doesn't really matter.

The comprehensive surveillance system monitoring the entire Beika Town is about 80-90% complete and will be fully completed tomorrow.

Even if we can't find Furukawa Teng, the former president of the Tōshūkai, the information Isehara Yuji provides will be false.

Chen En could also predict where the Dongchen Society members would go and what actions they would take tomorrow, and eliminate them all before they could act.

He wouldn't mind having a good fight with these guys.

I believe that once all these criminals are dealt with, Tokyo will be able to live in peace for a long time, and he will have time to do other things.

"Have any serious incidents occurred within the monitored area so far?"

"No, you don't need to tell me anymore, I already know."

The system screen had appeared in front of Chen En, with the information written clearly on it.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

"It's time to act."

Chen En said.
