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

Chapter 146 A Miracle of Modern Medicine
"Honestly, he was just standing there a moment ago, where has Chen En gone now?"

Sonoko Suzuki said something that sounded rather strange.

She followed Ran Mouri all the way to the dressing room, intending to show Chen En the courtesan outfit Conan was wearing. However, when she turned to ask Chen En for his opinion, she discovered that Chen En had already disappeared sometime earlier.

"What's with this habit of disappearing as soon as you turn your head?"

She couldn't help but complain.

However, before the complaints could even finish, the same loud thud that had occurred earlier that morning echoed through the corridor once again!
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki exchanged a glance, both startled.

Could it be that Ito Tamanosuke asked Chikaishi Tetsuo for the script this afternoon, only to be punched away by Chikaishi Tetsuo again?

Conan then slid out of the dressing room and ran towards Chikaishi Tetsufumi's room.

However, he was stunned as soon as he reached the corner of the corridor.

It was only because at the backstage entrance that Ito Tamanosuke, who was expected to be beaten, was standing there perfectly fine.

Kogoro Mouri and others were also present.

What's going on? If Ito Tamanosuke were here, who would be the one getting beaten up now?
Conan quickly scanned the crowd present.

We discovered that Kenzo Tajima is missing.

Conan immediately realized what was happening.

At this moment, Kenzo Tajima and Chen En should be having a deathmatch in the octagon in Chikaishi Tetsuo's room!

If nothing unexpected happens, Kenzo Tajima is a famous Edo boy!

Chen En may not be a match for Kenzo Tajima; we must go and provide support immediately!

He quickly arrived outside Chikaishi Tetsufumi's room.

Kogoro Mouri listened intently, and his expression immediately turned serious.

“Oh no, I used to be a detective with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, so I have a lot of experience in this area.”

"I feel like the beatings inside are pretty serious right now."

"I reckon someone's about to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kogoro Mouri froze.

Why does this scene seem so familiar?
He subconsciously took half a step back.

The next moment, the door to Chikashi Tetsufumi's room was kicked open.

A figure flew out along with the door and crashed into the wall.

That person was none other than Kenzo Tajima!
However, at this moment, Kenzo Tajima was covered in injuries, and even his face was beaten beyond recognition. If there hadn't been some acquaintances present, they probably wouldn't have known who was flying out.

Seeing Kenzo Tajima like this.

The two students who had been learning special skills from Kenzo Tajima were immediately shocked.

They held Kenzo Tajima's hand firmly with concern and asked,

"Tajima, who beat you up like this? We'll definitely avenge you!"

Kenzo Tajima: ?
The person who hit me is in the room, can't you see that?
At that moment, a brilliant idea struck him.

—Yes, in their eyes, I'm still the same Kenzo Tajima with a back injury and limited mobility.

If I just pretend to be the same as before, can't I turn the tables on them?
Just as Kenzo Tajima was about to start making slanderous remarks.

Chen En had already stepped out of the room.

This scene surprised everyone present.

Kogoro Mouri finally realized why this scene seemed so familiar.

It seems like this was the same when Chen En fought Nagato Kyoumei before!

"Thanks to this gentleman, I was almost killed by Tajima!"

Chikashi Tetsuo said with lingering fear.

He shrank behind Chen En, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant demeanor.

He said quickly,

"Tajima is that famous phantom thief, Edo-kun!"

"He forced me to cover for him before, but now he's not even going to pretend anymore and wants to kill me!"

Everyone looked at Chikaishi Tetsuo, who was completely unharmed.

Then he turned and glanced at Kenzo Tajima, who was covered in bruises.

Ito Tamanosuke frowned and said,

"Impossible, right? Mr. Tajima has a back injury, how could he possibly be an Edo boy?"

Although he had his suspicions, he hadn't yet reached the point of suspecting that Kenzo Tajima was the murderer. Upon hearing this, Kenzo Tajima nodded repeatedly.

He spoke loudly and indistinctly.
"That's right, I have a back injury, how could I possibly be an Edo kid?"

"This person and Chikaishi Tetsuo clearly intended to murder me. If I hadn't been lucky, I would be..."

The words are not finished yet.

Chen En kicked the folding knife on the ground, which instantly transformed into a cold glint that stabbed towards Tajima Kenzo.

Suddenly, an immense sense of crisis erupted in his heart.

He instinctively jumped up to avoid Chen En's flying knife.

The next moment, Kenzo Tajima realized that something was very wrong.

—Oh no, we can't perform anymore!

The people present: ?
No, a miracle of modern medicine?
Originally unable to move easily, but now that he's been beaten up, he can do high-difficulty moves?

Does this mean I've opened up your Ren and Du meridians or something?
"I also have evidence here that Kenzo Tajima was an Edo kid!"

"There are records of the treasures he sold for money!"

Chikashi Tetsuo continued.

It was clearly intended to kill Kenzo Tajima.

Upon hearing this, Kenzo Tajima's eyes widened. He walked step by step towards Tetsuo Chikaishi, pointing at him.

"you……"

"What are you!"

Chikashi Tetsuo slapped Tajima Kenzo across the face.

Having already received a severe beating, Kenzo Tajima finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed into bed.

Then, Chikaishi Tetsuo immediately said,
"I confess! I confess!"

“I covered up Kenzo Tajima’s crimes, so I’m guilty too… Sir, can this be considered a reduced sentence?”

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin and nodded.

"Oh, that should be fine."

Chikashi Tetsuo: ?
Maori Kogoro:?

Aren't you asking me?
------

Police cars arrived at the scene quickly.

As Inspector Megure entered the theater, he looked up and saw Kogoro Mouri, En Chin, and Conan standing together. His eyelids twitched, and he thought he should stop by Meiji Shrine on his way home to offer incense.

Putting everything else aside, I just want peace of mind!
"Brother Chen En, we owe you a lot this time!"

Inspector Megure said.

He glanced at Kenzo Tajima lying on the ground, looking utterly wretched, and couldn't help but shake his head.

—He knew without even thinking that it was probably because Kenzo Tajima was pointed out by Chen En and was dissatisfied, so he wanted to have a go with Chen En, and then he was beaten to a pulp like Nagato Mitsuaki was back then.

The assessment is that he brought it upon himself.

"Okay, I'm off."

Just as he handcuffed Chikaishi Tetsuo, who had surrendered, and prepared to leave quickly,
A voice came from behind.

"No, you can't leave."

Mu Mu Police Department:?
What? You're going to attack me too?
I know karate... even though I'm a white belt...

Inspector Megure turned to look at Chen En warily.

Chen En tossed the two ledgers in his hand to Inspector Megure and pointed at Ito Ogiwara.

"Isn't embezzling a huge amount of money and engaging in illegal activities such as fraud enough to warrant criminal charges?"

Ito Tamanosuke:?

No, I mean, how come such a big theater troupe like mine can't even afford to advertise?

So you were the one who took a kickback from my dad's money, weren't you?
You really treat me as a Japanese!
