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

Chapter 161 How did a box of props end up in a belt?
The car slowly came to a stop in front of Professor Agasa's house.

Chen En pushed open the car door and got out confidently.

The two elementary school students in the back seat also got off the bus and stood with Chen En. If Chen En hadn't claimed to be Batman, people would definitely have thought he was some Blue Scout member who wasn't wearing a uniform.

—Although Ai Haibara did decide to move the experimental equipment to Chen En's apartment.

However, she still decided to go with Chen Enxian to Dr. Agasa's house.

If nothing unexpected happens, she'll probably come here quite often in the future. After all, she'll eventually make a set of gadgets just like Conan's for self-defense, and communicating with Professor Agasa in advance will save her trouble.

However, to Ai Haibara's surprise...

Chen En had just arrived at Dr. Agasa's house.

The next moment, someone pushed open the door to Professor Agasa's house, and the person who came out was not the chubby Professor Agasa.

Ai Haibara instinctively hid behind Chen En and peeked at the person at the door.

—Well, she's a great beauty.

Wearing casual clothes, Yukiko Kudo grabbed Conan, who was a beat slow to react.

He held Conan in his arms and gave him a good squeeze before noticing Chen En's presence. He immediately released Conan, his face slightly flushed.
"Hello, I am Yukiko Kudo."

"I've heard about you from Professor Agasa. When Yusaku and I were not in Tokyo, Shinichi was well taken care of by you. Thank you so much."

She was referring to the case that happened at the Tokyo Budokan, near Minami Takayama.

Conan was so eager to save people that he forgot to look behind him and ended up being taken away by the robbers. If Chen En hadn't rescued him in time, she probably would have only seen Conan's hero fragments when she returned.

"Oh, who is the little girl behind you...?"

As soon as Yukiko Kudo thanked him, her attention fell on Ai Haibara behind Chen En.

This little girl looks adorable and is quite endearing.

If I study acting with her and become a child star in the future, I might become an overnight sensation.

Ai Haibara breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person who came was Shinichi Kudo's mother, whom she had seen in the files.

She stepped out from behind Chen En and began what could be considered a self-introduction.

"I am... Ai Haibara, Conan's classmate. Nice to meet you."

—She hadn't actually thought about what name she would use after she shrunk.

However, the mention of "Ai Haibara" by Chen En when she met her gave her a strange feeling.

So she simply used this name as her new name.

It seems that Ai Haibara has no intention of revealing her true identity to Yukiko Kudo.

Chen En didn't say much.

If Ai Haibara wants to explain to Yukiko, she will naturally do so; if she doesn't want to, there's no need to force her.

As for whether Conan will say...

I don't know, and he won't interfere.

Because Conan is his Robin, and Robin's biggest characteristic is that he doesn't follow orders.

Maybe if he doesn't bring it up, Conan won't say anything either; but if he does bring it up, it might actually make Conan rebellious.

Professor Agasa's Gear Room.

"Hey, Ai, you're asking me what gadget Shinichi uses?"

Professor Agasa touched the back of his head.

Then, he moved a box from the side, placed it aside, and said with a smile,

"That's about it. I gave Shinichi half of what Chen En gave me."

—Sold in half? There's still a box left?
Haibara Ai:?
She covered her mouth in surprise, staring incredulously at the box of gadgets that Professor Agasa had taken out.

"But I didn't see that the famous detective carrying any props?"

"Is it a belt? Can that belt hold such a large box of props?" Ai Haibara thought for a moment.

Then she remembered where Conan had taken the hypnotic spray from, and she was even more surprised.

Why can the hidden compartment in the belt hold so many things?

Is this some kind of supernatural technology? It's far more advanced than the technology within the Black Organization!

Moreover, given Shinichi Kudo's current physique, even if he could fit it in, how could he possibly carry it?

Ai Haibara leaned forward, placing her hands on the table, and said with some suspicion,
"Well, Professor Agasa, I'd like to give it a try."

If Kudo can lift it, then she should be able to lift it too.

Because she was older than Kudo before she shrunk, her physical abilities should be better after she shrunk...?
Of course, having said that.

If someone asks her how old she was before she shrunk, would she say if she was older than Shinichi Kudo?

She'll turn on you eventually.

After all, it's common knowledge that a girl's age is a taboo subject.

"The Black Organization..."

Yukiko Kudo held Conan in her arms and said with some concern,
"That sounds dangerous."

"Yusaku asked the International Criminal Investigation Agency to investigate the matter abroad, but he couldn't find any information... It seems that this organization is very well hidden. There is no information about that drug that can make people young internationally."

"Shinichi, are you really not going to come live with me in the United States? It's very safe there, you know."

Is the United States really safe?
Upon hearing this, Chen En twitched the corner of his mouth.

He has investigated the crime rates in the world of Detective Conan.

An investigation revealed that many outstanding talents emerged throughout the country. While Beika Town stood out among them, it did not have a commanding lead. The United States, among these outstanding talents, was second only to Beika Town in terms of auspicious feng shui.

According to his investigation, the streets of the United States are a daily spectacle of "beautiful sights," with free gunfights happening every day.

For Shinichi Kudo, wasn't this like going from one danger's den to another?

"Mom, please don't talk about this anymore."

"My mind is made up. I will get to the bottom of the Court of Owls!"

Conan answered seriously.

—Oh, did I just say the Court of Owls?

Buhao, when he heard Ai Haibara talk about Chen En last night, Chen En referred to the Black Organization as the Court of Owls, so he subconsciously started using it too!
Is it too late to change it back now?

Conan glanced at Chen En beside him.

However, Chen En said very calmly,

"It's alright. As my Robin, you'll find out about the Court of Owls sooner or later."

Conan:?
Who is your Robin? Don't change the nickname randomly, or I'll get it wrong too...

"By the way, Madam, would it be convenient for us to speak privately?"

Regardless of what Conan thinks.

Chen En suddenly said this.

Hearing this, Yukiko Kudo nodded with some curiosity.

"Oh, sure, Mr. Chen, where to?"

"Come with me..."

Chen En said mysteriously,
"I have something really good to show you."

Conan:?
Something feels off.
