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

Chapter 689 Sleepless Night
"Batman? That superhero..."

"If everything that happened tonight is true, then the fighting power of this real-world superhero far exceeds that of a street hero."

In the new grand hotel room.

Mary Akai listened to the radio report about Rena Mizunashi and spoke hesitantly.

"But such a person..."

"How exactly was he trained? Could it really be some rich young master who turned out like this for revenge?"

"If revenge could make you this strong, there would be too many Batmen by now."

Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about Shuichi Akai.

Shuichi Akai joined the FBI to avenge his father, Tsutomu Akai, so why is he still the same and hasn't gotten stronger?
So much so that he was kicked to death by someone who mistook him for a stray dog ​​on the street.

Mary Akai has yet to see Shuichi Akai's body with Masumi Sera.

It was a truly appalling sight.

"With Batman around, I feel like Tokyo won't face any major crises."

Sera Masumi retorted.

She and her mother heard about Batman's exploits on their very first day in Tokyo.

It hasn't even been a week yet.

Batman once again achieved his great feats, which can be described as quite remarkable.

I just don't know why Tokyo is so dangerous; major crises seem to happen every now and then.

Is it just like in the comics?

Are all sorts of dangers swarming in because of Batman's appearance?
The thought crossed Sera Masumi's mind, but she immediately dismissed it.

This is obviously impossible.

The crisis has been there from beginning to end.

Whether Batman intervenes or not, this will not change anything; in fact, Batman's intervention will only turn the crisis around for the better.

If we think about Batman in this way...

That might be a bit too cold-hearted towards the guardian knight of Beika Town.

"Compared to this."

"Given the scale of Batman's attack this time, all parties will likely enter a brief period of silence for the foreseeable future."

"in other words."

"If we want to get close to Conan and Ran, confirm whether Conan's true identity is Shinichi Kudo, and obtain the antidote..."

"The best time is these next few days."

Mary Akai didn't think too much about Batman-related matters.

As an MI6 agent, she thinks about issues primarily from the perspective of self-interest.

Batman's affairs are too far removed from their lives; they don't need to think about Batman, and they certainly won't have any contact with him anyway.

Now we only need to focus on the medication.

If Conan's true identity really is Shinichi Kudo.

Therefore, Shinichi Kudo must have an antidote or a temporary antidote for the drug that can reverse aging.

Either one is sufficient.

Mary Akai urgently needs to reclaim her true identity, since she is completely unable to contact her MI6 colleagues in her current state.

This can still be done for a certain period of time.

However, if it takes too long...

MI6 members will definitely suspect her true identity and intentions, and by then it will be too late to resolve these suspicions.

That's a very good point.

When someone wants to know how much force it takes to break a mirror, then the mirror has already broken.

Because that person will never stop applying force until the mirror shatters. The same applies to tests of loyalty.

Mary Akai knew those extraordinary people in England quite well, so she naturally wouldn't give them the opportunity to question her loyalty or put her to a test.

Speaking of it.

She touched her chin and said.

"Since the FBI has promised to help us, perhaps we can use their power to get closer to Conan."

"I wonder what the situation is like at the FBI right now. Given the chaos tonight, the FBI is probably too busy to spare any more time, right?"

------

At this very moment, at the FBI's temporary headquarters.

Just as Mary Akai had guessed.

FBI agents are indeed extremely busy at this moment, with almost all of them deployed to investigate tonight's events.

Because the FBI headquarters in the United States had requested that they conduct a full investigation into tonight's events and provide a response as quickly as possible, in order to outperform the CIA's Tokyo regional headquarters in terms of operational competence.

Even though James Black was a senior FBI investigator, he had no right to refuse orders from FBI headquarters and had no choice but to grit his teeth and obey.

"Oh my God."

"What are the local police officers and the Japanese Public Security Bureau doing? There have been so many bomb threats, yet they haven't taken any action at all!"

"Where did these people get such heavy bombs, and how could they almost send so many people to their deaths?"

"How did a country that restricts guns, almost to the point of banning them, manage to arrest more than two hundred armed criminals overnight?"

James Black couldn't understand it at all.

It gives him the illusion that he hasn't actually left the country and is still in the United States.

No, even in the United States, the arrest of more than two hundred armed criminals in one night is quite explosive.

If we add to this the premise that a criminal being hunted by the police has planted more than two hundred bombs inside New York City, threatening the lives of twelve million people.

James Black couldn't imagine how explosive the news would be the next day.

"Thank God, there's Batman."

"If it weren't for Batman, I really don't know what Tokyo would be like tonight."

He expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Why did he thank Batman?
This wasn't because Batman saved Tokyo, but because he was on his commute on the train that night and almost got blown up along with him.

Batman indirectly saved his life.

Even though there's nothing I can actually do for Batman, saying thank you is always a good idea, right?

"This is Judy."

A familiar voice came from the communicator on the table.

The only female FBI agent in Tokyo sighed, looking somewhat exhausted, before speaking.

"James."

"The situation is even more explosive than I imagined. There were at least twenty gun battles tonight, and the number of casualties is hard to estimate."

"I think we probably won't get a good night's sleep for at least the next two weeks."

James Blake: ?
This is truly a violation of the law.

Does it have to be this explosive?
This kind of matter involving foreign public safety should be investigated by CIA agents. Don't let the two competing parties get caught up in the infighting with the CIA just because they know more about Tokyo!

James Black's face darkened.

There's nothing we can do; it's his own fault for being stuck with this city.

He should have reconsidered when Shuichi Akai invited him to Tokyo.

Instead of nodding in agreement without saying a word and then bringing people over.
