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

Chapter 159 Ah, Sherry? You're not dead?
Conan was already on high alert.

At this moment, Chen En's apartment seemed to have transformed into a den of dragons and tigers, making it difficult to guess what kind of crisis was lurking inside.

Looking at the apartment door, which was already loose.

Conan carefully pushed open the apartment door.

The next moment, the situation in the living room came into view.

It's as clean and tidy as ever.

But the mysterious coffee man who drinks coffee every day is missing.

Conan activated the crosshair of his hypnosis watch ahead of time.

His fingers rested on the transmitter of the hypnotic wristwatch, ready to activate whenever a suspicious person appeared.

A hypnotic needle will immediately fly out from the hypnosis wristwatch to eliminate the threat.

Just then, some noises came from the bedroom.

Conan immediately became alert.

He slowly moved towards the bedroom, and only when he reached the bedroom door did he carefully pry it open with his foot.

The sights on the hypnosis wristwatch in his hand instantly aimed at the figure in the bedroom.

Until the figure turned around.

—What? She's just a little girl with brown hair.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put the hypnosis watch down.

Then I felt something was off.

Why is there a little girl in Chen En's house? Didn't Chen En say that he came from outside the comic book world?

Do you have no relatives in this world?

"who are you?"

He asked cautiously and warily.

Occasionally, use the corner of your eye to observe what's behind you.

Since I was hit on the back several times.

Conan is now even more concerned about whether anyone is planning a surprise attack from behind.

Caution is the boat.

After all, he had already removed the locator that Chen En had installed under his collar.

If he gets caught again, Chen En will definitely never be able to find him again!

However, the little girl with tea-colored hair did not speak.

She seemed stunned and didn't react to his words at all.

Then suddenly she covered her eyes with her hands and burst into tears.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Upon seeing this, Conan panicked.

He walked over to the little girl, intending to comfort her.

The next moment, his hand, which was wearing the hypnosis watch, was grabbed.

Conan:!
It was clear that the little girl was faking her tears; she wasn't actually crying.

She said with a hint of smugness in her voice.
"So-called famous detective Shinichi Kudo is nothing special."

"It's easy to fool them."

Hearing the other person directly read out his real name.

Conan's eyes sharpened instantly.

His other hand quietly reached for his belt—

Just like when I saw that Chen En's bugging device was particularly useful.

So he later went to Professor Agasa and asked for some listening devices to use as well.

After returning from Dracula's villa, Conan also found Chen En's super-sized bat belt to be very useful.

So Professor Agasa also created a detective belt filled with all sorts of mysterious and wonderful gadgets.

Now, Conan is unsure of the little girl's true identity.

So I decided to solve the problem using a bat-like approach —

He had a bottle of hypnotic smoke in his belt.

It knocks over with just one spray, very easy to use.

Regardless of the little girl's identity, we should control her first.

"Did Professor Agasa make this hypnosis wristwatch for you?"

"However, he may never have the chance to make gadgets for you again." Conan was startled upon hearing the little girl's voice.

His brow furrowed, and he asked...
"What do you mean by that?"

In response, the little girl with tea-colored hair simply continued,

"It's just what it sounds like."

"Oh, right, I haven't told you yet, have I? I'm a member of the same organization as those men in black who attacked you at Tropical Paradise. Even the drug you took was made by the organization at my request."

The little girl stared at Conan, seemingly intending to scare him again.

However, just as the little girl finished speaking the second half of her sentence...

She then noticed a hint of confusion appear in Conan's eyes.

This was completely different from the reaction she had expected.

The next moment, she heard Conan's voice.

"Ah, Sherry? You're not dead?"

Sherry: ?
The anime character who claimed to know my true identity from reading comics said I traveled from another world.

I'll just assume he doesn't want to talk about it, but I've investigated you thoroughly.

Are you going to say that you came from another world and are not the original Shinichi Kudo?
"...Who did you learn this frightening habit from?"

Conan muttered.

He put the hypnotic spray he had just taken out back in.

Although his movements were rather subtle.

But Sherry, who was standing next to him, immediately noticed that Conan seemed to have pulled out something dangerous.

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but type out a question mark.

Are high school detectives these days all so short-tempered?
Where did he learn this indecisive, action-first mentality...? Batman?
------

Carrying his things, Chen En, who was standing at the apartment entrance, glanced down at the half-open door.

He casually pushed open the door and entered, glancing at the messy-looking living room.

—Hmm, it looks like someone came in and searched for something.

Chen En merely walked to the center of the living room, his gaze lingering on the coffee table for a moment.

Then I heard cries for help and sobbing from the bedroom.
"Help me, Mr. Batman!"

It sounds like Ai Haibara crying.

However, given her personality, she wouldn't cry like that; she's most likely faking it.

Chen En turned around, placed his hand on the bedroom door, and then pushed it open.

The next moment, he saw Ai Haibara huddled in a corner of the dormitory, shivering, and seemingly still crying.

Just as Chen En's attention was drawn to it.

The wardrobe door next to me suddenly opened.

A figure suddenly lunged out!
Then he was grabbed by the back of his collar and lifted into the air.

Conan in mid-air: ?
Is this...is this right? Shouldn't the script have developed so that Chen En's attention is completely drawn to Haibara when he enters, and then he's startled by her? Is Chen En's reaction that quick? Or did he already know I was hiding in the closet?
A high-spec computer can hear breathing, huh? Did you forget to turn it off after using a cheat?

"You two are 20,000 years too early to scare me."

Chen En shook his head and sighed.

He released his grip, letting the Grim Reaper elementary school student fall to the ground.

—He also installed hidden surveillance cameras in his home.

He has a clear view of everything happening in the house.

Therefore, Chen En saw everything clearly, from Ai Haibara hiding to try to scare Conan, to the two elementary school students finishing their conversation and then hiding to prepare to scare him.

If it weren't for playing with two elementary school students for a bit.

As soon as he entered the room, he dragged Conan out, aiming for a speedrun!
"I said, your regulations here are too outrageous."

Chen En tossed the bag of books he was holding next to Ai Haibara.

Then he muttered to himself,

"This is the first time I've ever seen police arrest a child!"

According to Japanese law, all police officers who see school-aged children are obligated to take them to the nearest police station and then notify their parents, or take them directly to school if the child is not attending school.

In that case, it will be considered a violation of the law by the guardian, and the guardian will be punished.

— You really can't skip elementary school.

Unless Ai Haibara stays here for ten years until she grows up before leaving.
