Conspiracy, a Huge Conspiracy!

Fujino mentally reviewed his actions over the past few days and felt indignant on his own behalf.

At the same time, though, he could not help but think deeply:

Could it be that someone had been inspired by the righteous deeds of Beika Batman and had started going out to dispense justice?

That made sense...

Fujino pondered it inwardly and suddenly felt a sense of mission settle over him. But after giving it some more thought, he muttered, "But running around wearing my disguise and making enemies for me is unacceptable. One day, I need to have a proper talk with this guy about life."

A disguise was meant for offending people, and making a few more enemies did not matter much. But it was still his disguise. Even if someone genuinely wanted to use a disguise to uphold justice, they should not use his—if they had the ability to assassinate the deputy minister of finance, would it not be better to establish their own name?

Why did they have to use the name BATMAN?

Would Beika Superman or Beika Kamen not have worked just as well?

As Fujino thought, his brows suddenly furrowed.

After considering it carefully, he realized that something was wrong—the killer was wrong, and the victim was even more suspicious.

This imitator's intentions were rather obvious. So obvious that he had nearly overlooked them.

A deputy minister of finance held considerable power in Japan. An assassination of someone like that would definitely draw widespread social attention. If this had been his previous life, Mike Asir would probably already be out commenting on it.

That would push Beika Batman into the eye of the storm... As the saying went, a tall tree catches the wind first. The Japanese authorities could not possibly sit back and ignore this.
