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

Chapter 213 The Mechanized Corridor? We'll make sure he suffers a crushing defeat!

"What's wrong? You look very tired. Did something happen this afternoon?"

"Another vicious murder case?"

Sonoko Suzuki tilted her head and asked curiously.

The headband that she used to wear all the time has now been taken off.

Although I'm used to wearing headbands all the time.

However, because Chen En's subordinates couldn't help but tug at her hairband when they were around, she eventually took it off to avoid this behavior.

Anyway, whether you wear it or not doesn't really make a difference.

She even got a new hairstyle.

"Oh, no, I prevented a horrific murder this afternoon."

"The thought that Commissioner Gordon, who fought alongside me, was leaving Gotham before me fills me with sadness. Alas, Gotham City will never have such a good partner in solving cases again."

Chen En couldn't help but sigh.

Sonoko Suzuki next to her: ?

Who is Sheriff Gordon? What happened? How did he leave you before you did?
You're not talking about Inspector Megure, who's going on a trip, are you?
Sonoko Suzuki pouted.
"If you're talking about Inspector Megure, he'll be back in a couple of days. Don't worry, don't worry!"

—That's what I say, but these few days have been enough to make me lose hundreds of extra points!

However, Sonoko didn't know about this either, so she didn't mention it.

Chen En snapped out of his daze.

His gaze then fell on Sonoko Suzuki's hairstyle, stared at it for a moment, and then said,
"Sonoko, you're in danger like this."

I was just happy that Chen En finally noticed my new hairstyle.

Hearing Chen En suddenly say this, Sonoko immediately asked nervously,

"Where? Am I in danger like this?"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said,

"Could it be because I look beautiful right now?"

"So, will others be watching us?"

Chen En paused briefly before speaking.

"I mean, your hairstyle is dangerous."

"It might attract sniper bullets."

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Is it really that exaggerated? You can just tell me my hairstyle is ugly!

No need for exaggerated descriptions!
—In fact, this is not an exaggeration.

Because Sonoko Suzuki's hairstyle is exactly the same as Ai Haibara's hairstyle.

Sonoko has never met Ai.

But for some reason, Sonoko still chose the exact same hairstyle as Ai.

Hara Yoshiaki is still alive.

Gin definitely did not arrive in Nishitama City as he did in the "Countdown to Heaven" movie, which means that Gin is very likely still within the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Seriously, he could very well have used a vision to mistake Sonoko for Shiho Miyano and sniped her.

As everyone knows, Sonoko is a static beauty when she is not speaking or moving, and her appearance is not much different from that of Shiho Miyano.

Have you ever thought about growing your hair down?

Chen En continued. Sonoko seemed somewhat puzzled by this suggestion.

She has never actually tried letting her hair down in public before. Could it be that letting it down would look better?
The two walked forward and arrived at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall, which had been rebuilt.

Chen En casually ruffled Yuanzi's hair a couple of times.

He activated the essential hairspray technique for strong individuals, instantly restoring Sonoko's hairstyle to normal. He gently pressed Sonoko down, facing the glass next to him, and stared at Sonoko's hairstyle in the mirror for a while.

Then, amidst Sonoko's blushing, he pulled out a comb from somewhere and casually tidied her hair.

A few strands of hair adorned her forehead, while the rest of her medium-length hair was casually draped over her sides.

Sonoko Suzuki's look was instantly elevated after a simple haircut.

"That's almost it."

Chen En nodded slightly.

He tucked the comb back into his batwing belt, then took out a small round mirror and handed it to Sonoko Suzuki, letting her see for herself how her new hairstyle compared to her previous one.

However, at this moment, Sonoko Suzuki's mind was no longer on her hairstyle.

She stared blankly at herself in the mirror for a while until her uncle, Suzuki Jirokichi, poked his head out, saw that they had arrived, and waved to them. Only then did she react, blushing as she followed Chen En's pace.

This is the secret corridor that Suzuki Jirokichi would later use to store the Emerald Emperor gem.

Jirokichi Suzuki stood with his hands behind his back, looking smugly at the corridor in front of him.

Completely oblivious to his niece's new hairstyle and slightly flushed face, he simply pulled Chen En aside, pontificating and speaking passionately, displaying an air of unbridled confidence.

"Look, Chen En, this is the secret passageway I prepared for Phantom Thief Kid!"

“I installed blowers around it. Once smoke bombs or hypnotic smoke bombs are used, the blowers will start automatically to blow away the smoke. There are also fire-prevention water valves above to prevent special situations.”

"In these two areas, if no one is carrying special authentication equipment, mechanical arms will automatically extend from the walls to lock the body of the moving target. The string of those over there is the latest gas mask."

As Suzuki Jirokichi explained, he led Chen En inside, giving him instructions.
"At that time, I will pretend that the hair dryer is broken and the circuit is blind, and then you can pour in a hypnotic smoke bomb. As long as you throw it at the time I tell you, it will solve everything."

“Brother Chen En, just remember to stay in the middle and don’t go to the sides. These are all American equipment that I brought in from the United States. They’re very sturdy and hard to break free from. I suggest you don’t trigger this mechanism.”

He walked through the corridor of the government office.

Then, push open the door to the last room.

"This is where the Jade Emperor is kept. You can come in and take the gem when the time comes."

"If there's a skylight up there, I'll open it for you beforehand. You just use your grappling hook to pull yourself up, then go straight out, circle around in front of the media reporters, and then fly out with your hang glider. Hey, fly, and everything will be fine."

"As for the helicopter used by the TV station for filming, don't worry, it can't fly over there."

Chen En nodded slightly.

Although with his abilities, it wouldn't matter if he didn't listen to these things.

However, since we're already here, there's no reason not to listen.

But why do these marble pillars around here look so familiar? It's like I've seen them somewhere before… How strange…

Chen En stroked his chin and finally said,
"Okay, I'll come pick it up then, it's really true."

Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing nearby, finally came to her senses and quickly asked,

"What? What are you taking?"

"Are you going to take me back?"

Chen En, Suzuki Jirokichi: ?
Are you awake, members of the team?
