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

Chapter 109 Because He's Batman

After successfully putting the Batsuit into the briefcase purchased from the system store.

Chen En placed the briefcase inside the six-slot storage belt, and then put the switch that controls the automatic retraction of the Bat Suit into the hidden compartment of the Bat Suit that Dr. Agasa had previously made.

Everything is ready and prepared.

At least for now, Chen En doesn't seem to have overlooked anything.

Next, if no security missions are triggered.

Chen En had nothing important to do after that. He just needed to wait for 8 p.m. to fight the super villain Scarecrow, who the system identified as being hired by the Assassin Alliance.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to Professor Agasa, Chen En returned directly to his apartment.

On the way, I ran into Midori Kuriyama, who was rushing to buy breakfast at Poirot Cafe.

Kuriyama Midori, Eri's assistant, greeted Chen En somewhat awkwardly upon seeing him, then hurriedly fled the scene.

I don't know if he felt that what he said about Chen En and Ran Mouri's relationship last time was too unreliable and he was afraid of being held accountable.

Or is it simply because I came to buy breakfast late today, and if I don't get back in time, I'll get scolded?

I watched the lawyer's assistant walk away.

Chen En was too lazy to go back and cook, so he simply went into Polo Coffee Shop to buy something for lunch.

At that very moment, Suzuki Sonoko, who had just woken up and come looking for Chen En, appeared outside the shop.

She perked up the moment she saw Chen En.

—Last night I heard Chen En say that he was the mysterious person who beat Pu Siqinglan to her knees.

Sonoko Suzuki was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until almost dawn.

She had just woken up and hurriedly washed up before running over to find Chen En, intending to find out what had happened.

Now I see Chen En in the Polo Coffee Shop.

Without hesitation, she followed him into the shop. Then, Sonoko Suzuki heard the rather gentle greeting from Azusa Enomoto, the signboard girl of Poirot Cafe.

"Mr. Chen En, good afternoon. How was the pasta you had at the restaurant last night?"

“I heard from Miss Mori that you are very capable and insightful when it comes to cooking.”

Enomoto Azusa blinked and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki was immediately startled.

She strode to the counter and asked in surprise,
"Huh? Last night? Did Chen En eat spaghetti at the shop last night?"

"When?"

Enomoto Azusa felt a little strange when Suzuki Sonoko suddenly rushed into the store.

However, Sonoko was a regular customer for her.

Therefore, Enomoto Azusa simply answered as a matter of course.

"Of course, it was between seven and eight o'clock last night!"

"There were many police officers eating in the store at the time, and they all saw Mr. Chen En."

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Hmm? Between 7 and 8 pm last night?
If she remembered correctly, the servants at the manor said that Pu Siqinglan's screams occurred around 7:10 p.m., and the attack couldn't have happened before 7 p.m. at the earliest.

That means unless Chen En can be in two places at the same time, it is absolutely impossible for him to eat here from 7 pm to 8 pm and then beat up Pu Siqinglan at Suzuki Manor.

At this moment, even Sonoko Suzuki vaguely sensed the problem.

After ordering lunch with Chen En, Suzuki Sonoko sat down first, leaning forward to get closer to Chen En, and asked in a low voice with a suspicious look in her eyes,

"Didn't you say you were the mysterious person who attacked Pu Siqinglan?" "Then how did you manage to be here and there at seven o'clock? I can't figure out a way..."

Chen En waited for the food to be served and answered seriously.
"The answer is the Shadow Warrior. I used the Shadow Warrior as a substitute!"

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Are you some ancient daimyo? You even have a shadow warrior?
If you find an urban legend about a doppelganger, I'll consider it an effort you've made!

Sonoko Suzuki suddenly felt her fist harden.

—Damn it, this is ridiculous!

It’s hard, the fist is hard!
Seeing that Sonoko Suzuki looked completely unconvinced.

Chen En couldn't help but sigh.

The world is going to the dogs these days, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

He always tells the truth when he talks to others, but no one is willing to believe him. People are so indifferent to each other!

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Hakuba Saguru searched through the relevant case files he had borrowed from the Criminal Investigation Department.

He had already investigated cases related to Suzuki Sonoko last night, but he only found Chen En's name in the case of the theft of the Queen Celeste. Inspector Nakamori and Chaki Shintaro.

Moreover, it was only a few words, and Inspector Nakamori even said that Chen En was suspected to be the real Phantom Thief Kid.

—Hakuba Saguru did not believe this at all.

Everything else can lie, but DNA will never lie. No matter who the Phantom Thief Kid was twenty years ago, the Phantom Thief Kid who is active now is only Kaito Kuroba, there is no mistake.

Therefore, Chen En could not possibly be Kaito Kid.

Since no information about Chen En can be found in the theft case, why not look for any records of Chen En's name in the heinous murder cases?
This is why Hakuba Saguru is still researching.

He brought over the case files of the recent murders in Beika Town and examined them one by one. After searching for a long time, he finally found Chen En's name in the case related to Kogoro Mouri.

This guy has very few records; it's like he suddenly appeared one day.

He has demonstrated extraordinary abilities in solving cases. Ever since the case of Phantom Thief Kid stealing the Dark Star on the Queen Celeste, Chen En has been active with an astonishing efficiency of solving one or two murder cases a day.

Why is there absolutely no news coverage about this person?

"These cases have only been reported in the news about Kogoro Mouri. Why doesn't the media mention him at all? Do you know why?"

Looking at the case file in my hand.

Hakuba Saguru frowned and turned to look at Chiba Kazunobu beside him.

—In principle, the files of the Criminal Investigation Department should not be shown to outsiders.

But Hakuba Saguru's father was all about principles.

Therefore, they were a little more flexible, allowing Hakuba Saguru to look at the document, but not allowing him to take it away or make copies. Chiba Kazunobu was put in charge of monitoring Hakuba Saguru for any violations.

Faced with Hakuba Saguru's question, Chiba Kazunobu pointed to himself in surprise.

Then, he turned his head to look at it from the left and right.

They discovered that there was no one else around.

Chiba Kazunobu then answered seriously.

"Because he's Batman!"

Hakuba Saguru: ?
