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

Chapter 661 A Series of Deathly Coincidences

"This is Batman."

"There is an unknown number of bombs inside the Ekoda Department Store. Please leave immediately through the emergency exit."

"I'm not joking with you."

"With less than three minutes until the bomb explodes, unidentified terrorists have blocked all signals inside the Ekoda Department Store. If you don't believe me, you can check your cell phone signal."

"The mall wouldn't be foolish enough to install signal jammers inside its facilities, and I'm sure none of you have seen any signal jammers here, right?"

Batman's voice, centered in the control room, spread to every floor inside the Ekoda Department Store.

Jiang Gutian, who was initially somewhat skeptical, took out his phone to verify and, after confirming that there was indeed no signal, panicked.

And experienced.

Ordinary residents of Beika Town, who were just passing by, would run away as soon as they heard the name Batman.

Perhaps in the Ekoda area.

Batman is an urban legend that only exists on TV and forums, but in the Beika Town area, Batman is a real superhero.

If they don't believe in Batman, then who do they believe in?
Regardless of whether the person speaking now is Batman or not, the voice and tone sound like it, so what else is there to say?
Run first as a sign of respect.

If it really is a prank, they can wait until officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department or local police stations arrive at the scene before heading back.

You can buy things anytime.

But they only have one life.

It was observed that ordinary citizens in the Beika Town area had already begun to run outside.

After a moment's hesitation, ordinary citizens in the Ekoda area followed the footsteps of those in the Beikacho area and moved together toward the entrance of the Ekoda Department Store.

At this moment.

Inspector Kenmochi of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene and, without saying a word, pushed open the police car and got out.

Numerous police officers from various teams followed them off the bus, and they also heard the announcements coming from inside the department store.

batman.

Inspector Kenmochi, who was always away on business trips, had heard of the superhero's name and urban legends, but he had never actually seen him.

This was the first time he had been in the same area as Batman.

He had no doubt whether the Batman being broadcast was truly real.

This suspicion is completely unnecessary.

Because Inspector Kenchi saw the Batmobile parked not far away as soon as he got out of the car.

This Batmobile can't be faked.

The vehicle that sped this way just now was this Batmobile. There was only a little girl with black hair inside, and she said Batman had already gone inside.

She was a citizen rescued by Batman.

Inspector Kenmochi believes that children don't lie, so he's willing to believe that the Batman in the story is actually real.

And after it was confirmed that the Batman in the film was real.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Batman's claim about a bomb inside the Ekoda Department Store is true.

Inspector Kenmochi recalled the instructions he had previously received from Chief Toshiro Odagiri.

A large bomb was found inside a residential area near a school in the Ekoda area.

The Ekoda Department Store in front of us is located in the core area of ​​the residential area near Ekoda High School, which matches this description.

With both factors combined, there is naturally no need to hesitate.

"Quickly, assist in evacuating the crowd."

"Show your police IDs. Make sure the citizens see them so they know this isn't a prank, but a real and serious incident!"

Inspector Kenmochi said loudly.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers who followed quickly joined in evacuating the crowd to prevent a dangerous stampede at the gate.

Through the surveillance footage.

Chen En could clearly see the crowd evacuation at the entrance of the Ekoda Department Store, even though he had never seen the police inspector before.

However, judging from this ability to adapt to changing circumstances, he is at least better than the village police officer in the neighboring Gunma Prefecture; at least he won't cause any negative effects in solving cases.

"I'm leaving the crowd evacuation at the entrance to you."

Chen En said in a low voice.

His gaze fell on the surveillance screen in front of him, where people from all areas were rapidly moving toward the emergency exit.

The third floor is no exception.

It seemed that all the citizens inside the Ekoda Department Store began to move out because of his broadcast.

This would greatly reduce the destructive power of the bomb.

Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what Chen En didn't know was that the surveillance footage here actually had a malfunction.

One of the surveillance cameras in the clothing section on the third floor is broken and cannot display any surveillance footage.

However, after discovering the problem, the repairman thought it was no big deal and didn't want to ruin his vacation.

He directly connected the monitoring screen of this monitor with the monitoring screen of another monitor next to it, so that it was impossible to see from the central control room that there was any problem with that monitor.

Because it's not a big problem.

Therefore, the repairman felt that there wouldn't be any accidents if he repaired the monitor after returning from his vacation.

------

"This outfit is quite nice."

The girl's father nodded.

He had some appreciation for it.

They are currently trying on clothes in the clothing area where the third-floor surveillance cameras were damaged, as the soundproofing is good.

No sound came through the loudspeakers in other parts of the third floor.

They were completely unaware of Batman's warning, and because the place was relatively remote, they didn't even notice that other customers and staff on the third floor had already fled.

It was as if everything had been meticulously planned, just waiting for them to walk into a death trap.

But there was no scheming involved.

All that exists is misfortune.

The magic of misfortune drives all of this, causing a series of low-probability, almost impossible, unfortunate events to occur one after another.

The purpose of all this is obvious.

That is killing.

The curse was aimed at the father and daughter in the three-story clothing store area.

------

"what happened?"

“The footage from two surveillance cameras is consistent. No matter how similar the setup is, it’s impossible for them to be completely identical. There’s a big problem here.”

Chen En's gaze fell on the monitoring system.

After encountering a series of low-probability events on his way to the Eguta Department Store, he realized that various low-probability events would likely occur during this operation.

So he became suspicious.

"That area, if nothing unexpected happens, is where the bomb is located..."

Chen En said in a low voice.

At the same time, the voice of Noah's Ark also sounded in the earpiece, the super artificial intelligence said.

"No bomb was found in any of the surveillance footage. The bomb disposal expert suddenly disappeared when he entered a certain area on the third floor of the Jianggutian Department Store, and then reappeared in the surveillance footage."

—Right here.

Let me see who it is...
