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

Chapter 166 I said the case is solved, do you, Erduolong?

Beihu Department Store, underground parking lot.

Looking at the corpse in front of her, Sonoko Suzuki was a little scared and huddled close to her best friend next to her.

Sonoko Suzuki was scared, but Ran Mouri was even more scared.

The two waited cautiously for reinforcements to arrive.

After a short while, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but say something.
"Xiao Lan, when do you think Uncle and A-En will arrive?"

Ran Mouri was also at a loss when it came to this question.

She doesn't know.

However, considering the distance from the phone booth to here, it would take at least a few minutes.

"Now."

Someone was talking behind their backs.

The sudden sound startled Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri, causing them to take off on the spot.

They all jumped backward in unison.

Only then did he bring the person who had just spoken into his line of sight.

It's Chen En.

This self-proclaimed Batman appeared from the phone booth to the underground parking lot within a minute to meet them. Such speed makes it hard not to suspect that this person is actually the Flash in disguise.

Of course, if Chen En knew what Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were thinking...

He would say it's not that slow.

It's not that he's not slow, but that the Flash isn't that slow.

"The fourth victim."

Chen En glanced at the corpse.

The next moment, his gaze swept across the entire parking lot, and he made a quick calculation.

Then, he understood.

Chen En said,

"Sonoko, Ran, Uncle Mori will be here in about thirty seconds."

"I'm going to find the murderer. See you later."

Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Huh? How did you know that Kogoro Mouri would arrive in thirty seconds?
Are your ears rulers? Can you pinpoint the location of sounds?
Just as Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki subconsciously turned their heads to look in that direction.

Chen En's figure had disappeared.

This startled Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki once again.

————Countless criminals have illustrated this point with their own experiences.

Batman is generally scarier than criminals.

Just like it is now.

"Ran, Sonoko, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

The voice of Kogoro Mouri was heard.

He looked up, panting, at Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki.

Both of them appeared to be unharmed.

Kogoro Mouri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned his head to listen to the sound, and said with some self-satisfaction,
"What? I'm actually pretty fast."

"Chen En is just a cricket; being a little further ahead of him is nothing."

Hear this.

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri exchanged a glance.

Finally, Ran Mouri whispered something.
"Dad, Chen En just arrived and said he's going to catch the murderer, so he told us to wait for you to come down."

Maori Kogoro:?

What a joke!
I didn't even see him. How could he have arrived before me?

How did he get down? Did he fly down?
Kogoro Mouri was rendered speechless.

He turned to look at the corpse, a look of understanding on his face.

Yes, just like the three corpses we found before.

This corpse was also a hot girl with dark makeup.

It seems the killer's target was indeed a woman wearing dark makeup.

Inspector Megure and the others who arrived shortly after also noticed the body. Matsumoto Kiyonaga's expression immediately darkened.

These repeated crimes are clearly a provocation against the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

If the murderer cannot be caught...

And more people will continue to die because of this.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga could not allow such a thing to happen.

After glancing at the body, he frowned and turned to look at Sato Miwako.
"Sato, can we use a decoy tactic?"

— Decoy tactics.

The plan is to have police officers disguise themselves as the targets of the murderers, based on the characteristics currently known, in order to lure the murderers out and make it easier for the police to arrest them.

Of all the people here, it's obvious that only Miwako Sato meets this condition.

For no other reason than that she is a policewoman.

"I'm OK."

Miwako Sato nodded.

She is quite skilled, and even if she encounters a murderer, other police officers will not be in danger if they cannot provide support in time. This is much safer than borrowing female police officers from other places to act as bait.

However, Inspector Megure then spoke loudly at that moment.

"No, we can't use decoy tactics!"

“We can still bring the murderer to justice using other methods. But if things go wrong and Sato gets injured or even dies, how are we supposed to explain that to Sato’s family?”

Seeing Inspector Megure's excited expression.

Matsumoto Kiyoshi let out a long sigh.

He knew why Inspector Megure was so wary of decoy tactics.

------

More than 20 years ago, a case of indiscriminate killing of delinquent female high school students occurred in Tokyo.

At the time, the police were at a standstill in how to solve the case.

Until someone proposed the decoy tactic and implemented it personally—

That person wasn't a police officer, but a delinquent girl from a nearby high school.

Because her friend was hit by the madman's car and seriously injured and hospitalized, the delinquent girl insisted on acting as bait to lure the killer out so that the police could arrest him.

The person the police sent to protect that delinquent girl was Inspector Megure.

On a rainy night later, the killer noticed the delinquent girl and drove his car directly into her. Megure desperately tried to protect her, but in the end, he still managed to seriously injure her head and torso.

If it weren't for the timely rescue, that delinquent girl might have died as a result of this decoy operation.

However, because of this operation, the perpetrator's license plate number was noted by Inspector Megure, and he was arrested by the police shortly afterward.

That delinquent girl is now Megure Juzo's wife, Megure Midori.

------

Even delinquent girls possess a golden spirit.

Inspector Megure believes that Sato Miwako has a similar spirit, but the price is too high. Megure Midori was on the verge of death back then, so what if something happens to Sato Miwako?

He cannot bear such consequences.

However, just as the atmosphere here was gradually becoming serious.

They heard a sound coming from the other side.

"I said the case is solved, do you, Erduolong?"

Accompanied by a thud.

A figure crashed through the glass next to it and fell to the ground.

Inspector Megure, who had just been reminiscing about the past, forgot all his memories when he saw this scene. He stared wide-eyed at the situation, never expecting it to unfold like this.

"What do you know? My child died because of those massacres!"

The figure, slammed to the ground, grabbed the baseball bat beside him again and roared.
"Is that why you kill anyone who looks similar?"

Chen En simply said in a cold voice,

"Why don't you go and take revenge on your enemies?"

"Is it that you don't want to?"

—There's no need to reason with these extraordinary people.

Just use the Great Memory Restoration Technique.

The Batman of Gotham City uses it, but I, the Batman of Beika Town, can't use it?
