Conan: Why Beika Town Feels Like Heaven

Crossing over to Beika Town — a place where the crime rate utterly crushes Gotham's — is a rather helpless situation. But who says Beika Town must be hell? Here, thirty years pass like three months, granting you virtual immortality. Here, the Suzuki Group shines as an infallible beacon of financial investment. And more importantly... Here, criminals never recant their confessions — unless their lawyer is Eri Kisaki. Here, criminals plead guilty based on circumstantial evidence alone — unless their lawyer is Eri Kisaki. Here, criminals are all flamboyant showmen, masters of putting on a performance. They scatter clues everywhere and still dare to call it a "perfect crime." Here, even when the police arrest the wrong person and lose a case in court, prosecutors only blame their own lack of ability. Here, police achievements can be "carried" by others, marriages are assigned, and even fatal wounds aren’t a concern — death itself is warded off by the Grim Reaper. "Setting aside the one flaw that your career advancement is stuck because of a frozen timeline, this place is a paradise," says Inspector Kiichi Higashino of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigation Division.
