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

Chapter 633 Are the police officers just sitting around doing nothing?

"I am Hakuba Saguru."

"Has the bomb inside the Ferris wheel at Beika Department Store been defused? Judging from your tone, it seems there were no injuries."

The communicator rang.

Hakuba Saguru pressed the answer button, placed the communicator beside him, listened to the report from the other end, and said the following.

Batman?

"Batman found the bomb inside the Ferris wheel beforehand and replaced it?"

"How did he do that?"

A look of surprise flashed across Hakuba Saguru's eyes. He believed that his reasoning and planning abilities were already excellent enough.

However, Chen En seems to have the upper hand.

That doesn't make sense. How did he know? Did he deduce it?
No, it's impossible.

The criminal sent the fax to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Chen En was not at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so he shouldn't have known the contents of the fax, let alone been able to deduce it.

Unless Chen En has installed surveillance cameras or listening devices inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, or has an inside accomplice here.

Think of this.

Hakuba Saguru paused for a moment, stroked his chin, pondered the possibility that Inspector Megure might be an inside man, and then ruled out that possibility.

Forget it, it's better not to doubt him.

Chen En wouldn't hire an inside agent of this caliber, so it must be someone who installed a listening device or surveillance camera inside the Tokyo alarm system.

This is not surprising.

Previously, Chen En had hacked into the internal systems of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department multiple times.

As it turned out, the electronic defenses of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were ineffective against Chen En.

You could say that people are like public toilets to him; they can come and go as they please.

It's normal to install a few listening devices and surveillance cameras.

"That's a good thing."

"Officer Takagi, Officer Sato, what was the last clue the bomb left for you?"

On the other end of the communicator.

Officer Takagi quickly replied.

“Rewot Abihs”.

He was confused about the two words and didn't understand what they meant at all.

Hearing this, Hakuba Saguru was also taken aback.

What is this? A randomly spelled word? Is it really a hint?

He frowned.

Then he quickly wrote two words on the draft paper next to him, stared at them quietly for a while, and then immediately said them.

"Go to the East Capital Iron Tower."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a bomb planted somewhere in the Tokyo Tower. Please evacuate the tourists as soon as you arrive at the scene."

East Tower?

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

Takagi Wataru was taken aback.

He had absolutely no idea what these two strange words had to do with the East Tower, but Bai Ma Tan said it all made sense.

"Reverse the words."

"The second word reversed is Shiba, and the first word reversed is Tower."

"Tower means tower."

"Shiba is a shortened version of a complete noun; the full name should be Shiba Park."

“If we combine Shiba Park and the tower, then it only points to the Tokyo Tower,” Hakuba Saguru explained.

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru and the others immediately realized what was happening and, without waiting for Hakuba Saguru to say anything more, the group immediately sprang into action.

After confirming that Inspector Megure had begun his operation, Hakuba Saguru rubbed his forehead, looking at the second fax.

[I'm the ace of the Major Leagues, and this overtime game is about to begin. The game will officially start at noon tomorrow and end at 3 PM. Even if I prepare high-quality brakes, it'll be a waste of effort; I will ultimately come back and win.]

If you want to stop this game, come find me. When you cops arrive, treading on blood-stained bases, I'll be waiting for you in the steel batter's box.

The roads where the perpetrator planted the bombs three years ago are extended and intersect at Minamibei Station on the Toto Chuo Line.

"Stop" refers to the level crossing barrier; "steel strike zone" means iron box, referring to the tram car; "bloodstains" refers to the red tram, indicating that the bomb was on the red tram at Minami-Beihu station.

"The red trolley?"

"Just checking every single red tram inside and out would take all night, it's such a hassle..."

Bai Ma Tan said in a low voice.

The second fax had already reached the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and Hakuba Saguru had already drawn his conclusion after only a quick glance at its contents.

All the red trolleys need to be investigated.

Unlike the previous minor incidents, this time the criminals were clearly going all out, planting a number of bombs with far greater power than ever before.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers who had previously been dispatched to various hospitals to investigate have begun reporting their findings.

The answer is that the bombs did exist.

Not only did the bombs exist, but they were also numerous, scattered like wildfire.

Moreover, all the bomb countdowns clearly indicated that the bombs would all be detonated before noon the following day.

Given the way the criminal dared to plant bombs in this situation, it's hard to say he wouldn't plant bombs on all the red trams.

These bombs are not necessarily all extremely powerful.

However, if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were to miss any of these powerful bombs, the final result would be an unimaginable and devastating blow.

Therefore, it is better to investigate incorrectly than to let something go unpunished.

"How on earth did these guys do that?"

"Bombs were planted inside various hospitals? Were the hospital staff and patrolling police officers just sitting around doing nothing?"

Bai Ma Tan frowned.

This has heightened the level of attention given to the criminal who was responsible for two previous bombings; aside from anything else, his destructive power is indeed remarkable.

Normal criminals are easier to deal with because we can understand their motives, they have the motivations and logic of normal people, and at the very least, they are quite human.

But this demolition expert is different.

This thing can hardly be considered human anymore.

It was a revenge killing targeting the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and it was an indiscriminate bombing as retaliation.

There was no way to guess what he was thinking.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the number of bombs placed at the explosion sites mentioned by the criminal in the fax far exceeded the number of bombs at other sites.

Without time to dwell on it, Hakuba Saguru looked up and asked directly.

"Dad, all the trams that pass through Minami-Bei-no-Station could be bombed."

"Of course, this could just be a smokescreen, but even if it is, we can't afford to gamble on it and must investigate it thoroughly."

"Are there any extra police officers that can be deployed?"

Superintendent Hakuba, who was pacing back and forth in the conference room, turned to look at Hakuba Saguru, frowned, and then said.

"The Japanese Public Security Bureau has gone there."

"Someone just sent me a message saying that the Japanese Public Security Bureau is using the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's name to conduct a large-scale search of all the red trains."

—Japanese Public Security Bureau?
How did the Japanese Public Security Bureau find out? Could this be the result of Batman's deliberate actions?

White Horse was filled with doubt.
