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

Chapter 145 So what if there's another Chen En? I'll kill him all you want!
The dinner ended quickly.

The group returned to the Beika Theater, and to Conan's surprise...

Surprisingly, no one made an excuse to leave the dinner, including the person he suspected most. Could it be that the real murderer was not among the theater troupe members, or that the victim was not Chikashi Tetsuo?
Conan cannot be certain.

But he knew that Chen En must have discovered something.

There is no other reason.

At this moment, Chen En had disappeared again.

However, Sonoko Suzuki, who was walking alongside Chen En and Ran Mouri, was unaware that Chen En had disappeared.

"...Could it be that Chen En has already identified the murderer?"

"Is he about to take action?"

Conan had a guess in his mind.

------

Using the time it took to eat lunch, Chikaishi Tetsuo worked hard and finally finished writing the script.

He stretched and felt refreshed.

—Yeah, right.

Typing can't possibly make you feel refreshed; it will only make your hands ache.

Chikashi Tetsuo stood up, took the USB drive containing the script out of the computer port, and prepared to hand it to Ito Tamanosuke later so that Ito Tamanosuke could take a look and decide how to act it out.

He stretched and felt hungry, and his appetite suddenly returned.

However, just as Chikaishi Tetsuo was about to leave the room...

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

A familiar figure appeared in front of Chikaishi Tetsufumi.

It's none other than Kenzo Tajima, the "Edo Boy"!
The phantom thief who had made a deal with Chikaishi Tetsuo was now watching Chikaishi Tetsuo closely.

That feeling sent chills down Chikaishi Tetsufumi's spine.

Especially the scene of Kenzo Tajima closing the door behind him and locking it.

Chikashi Tetsuo instinctively took a step back and said,

"W-what is this for?"

"Kenzo Tajima, we're friends and accomplices, are you planning to harm me?"

—This answer is self-evident.

Kenzo Tajima had made up his mind.

First kill Chikaishi Tetsuo, then Ito Tamanosuke, and finally Mori Kogoro.

Kill everyone who might know his identity!
Then he can hide his identity and continue to live the peaceful life he wants!

"I've had enough of all the red tape!"

Kenzo Tajima said in a deep voice,

"From now on, I will not give you a single penny."

"Because you're about to become a dead man!"

He pressed closer and closer to Chikaishi Tetsufumi.

Chikaishi Tetsuo, who had been aggressive when fighting Ito Tamanosuke, was now trembling with fear.

He had no strength left and collapsed, only able to back away.

However, Kenzo Tajima will not show any mercy because of Tetsuo Chikaishi's performance.

At that moment, he grabbed the vase next to him and was about to smash it down on Chikaishi Tetsufu's head.

However, Kenzo Tajima's hand froze in mid-air.

The next moment, a voice came from behind him.
“This guy’s crimes aren’t serious enough to warrant a death sentence. I’d rather he go to jail.”

"As for you? You can choose for yourself."

Chen En stood behind Kenzo Tajima.

He gripped the edge of the vase with one hand, rendering Tajima Kenzo's hands immobile as he tried to smash it down with all his might.

—He did not use Batman mode for even a minute.

The power currently being used is only the power gained from acquiring intermediate-level combat expertise.

However, Chen En's own power alone was already astonishing.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level: Medium. Completing this task will reward you with 50 points!]

The system's light curtain arrived late.

But that's no longer important.

Chen En asked again,

"The police are on their way."

"Are you going to turn yourself in to the police now, or should I beat you up and then hand you over to the police?"

A fierce glint flashed in Kenzo Tajima's eyes.

He never expected that there would be someone in this theater who already knew his identity!

Moreover, it's neither Kogoro Mouri nor Tamanosuke Ito.

Instead, it was Chen En who suddenly appeared at the front desk to freeload a meal!
—Fine, so what if there's one more person? I'll kill them all the same way!
Without hesitation, Kenzo Tajima immediately released his grip on the vase.

He swiftly reached into his pocket, pulled out a folding knife, then whirled around and stabbed at the naive man who thought he would surrender to the police!
It only took six months.

Kenzo Tajima had already committed more than ten crimes as an Edo Kid, and he was a nationwide criminal who killed quite a few people. Regardless of whether he surrendered or not, he would most likely be sentenced to hanging.

Since that's the case, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll still get stabbed.

Why not give it a shot and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle?
He's a highly trained stuntman; even if he's not as strong as Chen En, he's certainly faster...

He is not as good as Chen En.

Chen En's hand had already gripped Kenzo Tajima's wrist.

He merely gave a slight tremor.

Instantly, Kenzo Tajima felt a sharp pain in his wrist, causing him to scream in agony as the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter!
The powerful force then acted on Kenzo Tajima, sending him flying and slamming him against the wall next to him!
"what!"

Kenzo Tajima screamed and fell to the ground.

He struggled to his feet, a look of disbelief in his eyes—

He has committed crimes all over the country and has met police officers from all over the country, but Chen En is the first person who can outrun him in speed, strength, and even skill!
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which has always been considered utterly worthless in local rumors,
Are there really plainclothes police officers with such high moral character?!
"What are you thinking now?"

"Should I turn myself in?"

Chen En walked step by step toward Kenzo Tajima.

However, Kenzo Tajima refused to accept his fate and charged at Chen En once again.

The next instant, he saw a holy sword of physics appear in Chen En's hand.

"Enjoy your last day of breathing freely."

Chen En said.

The next moment, the sticks rained down like rain!

The main feature is six strikes per second!
The first blow to the mouth prevents them from begging for mercy, and the second blow to the legs prevents them from running away!
Chikashi Tetsuo, who was watching this scene from the side, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

The plainclothes police officers were incredibly brutal!

Is this still Tokyo? Did I travel to Osaka?

Is he going to come after me again later?
...Wouldn't it be better to turn yourself in beforehand?

Even the trained Kenzo Tajima couldn't withstand those few blows, so he'd probably shatter the script's soul in two hits.

Chikashi Tetsuo swallowed hard and made a decision.
