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

Chapter 169 Bourbon Whiskey must be a mole in Chen Enpai's faction!

—Chen En.

A mysterious and inexplicable person.

He claims to have traveled from another world, which he sees as a comic book or an animated film, and uses this as a reason to produce all sorts of confidential information.

That being said, she still didn't believe Chen En was a time traveler at all.

Ai Haibara installed the experimental equipment she needed in the vacated room.

He glanced briefly at the condition of the utensils before nodding seriously.

Although it was still somewhat rudimentary compared to the laboratory prepared for her by the Black Organization, it should be sufficient for studying the reverse effects of APTX-4869, since she had samples available for reference.

Under the guise of developing the APTX-4869 reverse drug, she purchased a vial of blood from Conan.

—Well, it's not that I can't use my own blood, but if I can use Conan's blood, there's no need to use my own.

"Chen En... Batman..."

Haibara Ai pondered.

First, we can rule out the possibility that Chen En is Batman, and that he traveled from another world.

So, through what channels could Chen En obtain information about the organization? Was he an undercover agent within the Black Organization, working as a codenamed member? Was there an informant within the organization who was also Chen En's informant? Or did he spend a considerable amount of time investigating and collecting evidence?

The first possibility seems unlikely, as there is no anime/manga fan in the organization who would claim to be Batman like Chen En.

The third possibility is also unlikely. Japan, as the organization's base of power, has very effective control. Even if someone were to try to investigate the organization's affairs, they would be discovered and continuously monitored by the organization's members.

If Chen En had investigated the organization for a long time and in such depth, he would probably have been assassinated by the organization long ago.

Thinking about it this way, it seems there's only one possibility.

Chen En planted an undercover agent within the organization as an informant!

Thinking about this, Ai Haibara couldn't help but wonder who that informant could be.

Because there aren't many codenamed members who might be involved in this matter, she only needs to select one from the codenamed members she knows.

Gin, vodka, Vermouth, bourbon whiskey.

"Is Bourbon Whiskey the mole Chen En planted in the Black Organization?"

Ai Haibara was recording the data from a test that had just been completed when she muttered to herself.

After all, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth are all long-time members, while only Bourbon Whiskey is a newcomer, joining the organization in a similar way to Dai Moroboshi, so it's highly likely that it was Bourbon Whiskey.

"Bourbon whiskey was indeed the mole."

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Ai Haibara's hand trembled in fright.

Luckily, it was an empty reagent bottle, otherwise most of the liquid inside would have spilled out.

Her brow furrowed slightly. She placed the reagent bottle aside, peeked out, and looked at Chen En, who was returning carrying several shopping bags. Then, with a hint of hesitation, she asked...

"You can just tell me about the mole you've planted in the organization, is that alright?"

"If I were to return to the organization and offer up the bourbon whiskey you mentioned as a pledge of loyalty, both the bourbon whiskey and you would be in grave danger, wouldn't you?"

—What does bourbon whiskey have to do with me?
Chen En raised an eyebrow and put the handbag down.

These tote bags were clothes that Sonoko bought for him while shopping to reach the minimum spending requirement for a discount, and he carried them back with him to fill his sparse wardrobe.

Chen En has never been particular about clothes.

Don't ask, just know that as long as you can wear something, that's fine. You can change into two or three outfits and that will solve your clothing problem.

In response to Ai Haibara's question.

Chen En simply reached out and ruffled Ai Haibara's hair as usual, then went into the bedroom, casually replying,
"You won't go back to the organization. Even if you really wanted to, you can't."

"In the eyes of the Black Organization, they are the people who killed your sister and have a blood feud with you. There is no room for reconciliation between the two. Even if you really want to rejoin the organization, they will only regard you as an inside spy who has infiltrated the organization."

"Furthermore, the mole I planted in the bourbon whiskey incident wasn't bourbon whiskey; it was a mole planted in the Japanese Public Security Bureau." "I've already said that my information comes from reading comics and watching anime, not from any other means that you or Conan might think. Even if you report bourbon whiskey, it won't affect me."

—Was bourbon whiskey a mole planted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau within the organization?
Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's eyes only flashed with a hint of surprise before she returned to her previous composure.

It's not surprising that the codenamed member within the organization was a mole.

Every year, there are codenamed members in the organization who are moles or defectors, and then Gin finds them and takes them out. She's used to it, and at most she'll remark that there are an unusually large number of moles in the organization this year.

However, while Chen En was tidying up the wardrobe...

Ai Haibara suddenly said,

"Tomorrow is a school day, I have to go to class."

"I'll go to school with Shinichi Kudo, you don't need to come and take me."

Teitan Elementary School is not far from Chen En's apartment.

Moreover, she wasn't a real primary school student, and didn't need an adult to pick her up or drop her off on her first day of school.

Close the wardrobe door.

Chen En peeked out, and a question mark appeared above his head.

—I still don't know exactly when your Teitan Elementary School has classes.

However, based on previous experience...

If Teitan Elementary School is holding classes, it means Conan and the Detective Boys are probably going to encounter some kind of case.

Thinking of this, Chen En nodded slightly and said earnestly,

“You can completely trust me.”

"I'll handle any cases that come up, so don't worry."

Haibara Ai:?
Why would you say something like that?

It's as if they're absolutely certain I'll encounter some kind of case when I go to school tomorrow.

Her luck doesn't seem to have gotten that bad yet.

However, Ai Haibara did not pursue this issue too much.

This might just be Chen Enxian being silly again because he has nothing better to do.

Don't worry about it, he'll quiet down in a little while.

Organize the experimental equipment.

Ai Haibara closed the door to the room that was being used as a laboratory and returned to her original guest room.

He glanced back at Chen En, who seemed to be tidying up something.

She paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Good night."

The guest room door was closed.

In response, Chen En simply tidied up his bat belt prop.

He moved the once-a-day Fear Gas, which he originally kept in his six-slot storage belt, to his bat belt.

To make room for his briefcase containing his Batsuit.

After all, the daily fear gas is a consumable item, and it will respawn next to him the next day after use. Moreover, it is about the same size as a regular smoke grenade, which is just right to put into the hidden compartment of the bat belt.

Next, Chen En took out the coffee —

I haven't used the Batman mode for today yet.

He wanted to see what kind of amazing things this abstract Batman could pull off.
