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

Chapter 245 Chen En's Promise

It seems that the Mud Ginseng Association is planning something big.

Chen En obtained further information about the Mud Ginseng Society from the two members, learning that someone had even witnessed this group of lawless thugs treating retired members of the United States Navy SEALs as honored guests.

Given that the Steel Association purchased a large number of bombs, it's unclear what their purpose was.

He immediately realized that Tokyo was on the verge of a major upheaval, and that a huge change was likely to occur in the city in the near future. He needed to investigate the details of the matter as quickly as possible.

"The current time is 5:35 PM."

Chen En glanced down at the wristwatch on his wrist.

He spent the afternoon dealing with Silver Fox and Chao Wenzhao's affairs, traveling back and forth to Danyuan Mountain. By the time he returned to downtown Tokyo, it was probably already 6:30.

If the time was not miscalculated.

Sonoko and the others' flight SKJ865 was scheduled to take off at 6:15 PM, so it seemed he wouldn't be able to get to Haneda Airport in time to see Sonoko off.

However, there was still time to call Sonoko before boarding the plane.

------

Meanwhile, in the waiting area of ​​Haneda Airport.

Sonoko Suzuki was scrolling through her phone's text message list, trying to find the message that might appear at any moment using some kind of mystical method.

However, it still hasn't appeared.

Ran Mouri, sitting in the seat next to me, was about to share some of her experience.
The next moment, the phone rang.

"I am Chen En."

A voice came from the other end of the phone.

He said somewhat apologetically,

"I'm sorry, I'm still on my way back to downtown Tokyo and may not be able to get to Haneda Airport in time."

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki said somewhat discouragedly,

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You won't come with me, fine, but now you don't even have time to see me off?"

"I heard from Ai that you went to climb Mount Danyuan with that person who is said to be assassinated by an assassin, in order to prevent that person from having an accident... If I am in danger, will you come to protect me just like you protected that person?"

The question had barely been asked when the answer was given without hesitation on the other end of the phone.

"Of course, if you are in danger, I will get to your side as quickly as possible, no matter where you are."

"I am always here."

Ai Haibara, standing next to Sonoko Suzuki, looked up at her phone, lost in thought.

She suspected that Chen En might have joined some mysterious organization.
They get money or something else for stopping crime; otherwise, why would they be so enthusiastic about stopping all kinds of crime?

People who are purely driven by passion, like Shinichi Kudo next to him, are probably a minority.

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara glanced at Conan, then turned her head back.

Forget it, I'm not going to watch it.

The current Conan has been fully integrated into the segmented gameplay.

He was having a blast playing with the members of the Junior Detective League, it was as if the effects of APTX-4869 had reduced his intelligence back to that of an elementary school student.

"The whole Sakai Natsuki thing... is completely fabricated."

Maki forced a smile as she chatted with the other passengers about what had been revealed because of Sakai Natsuki. While explaining to the other passengers, she inwardly cursed Sakai Natsuki for her lack of sportsmanship in exposing such a thing.

Even if she wanted to spend money to reconcile with Sakai Natsuki now, and get Sakai Natsuki to publish a clarification statement, it wouldn't work. After the prosecutor decided not to prosecute, Sakai Natsuki flew directly to the United States.

She can't get through on the phone now, and it seems like they've completely broken off relations, leaving her helpless.

The only thing I could do was curse Natsuki Sakai in my heart to vent my anger.

Meanwhile, the other members of the theater troupe performing "Josephine" were chatting with celebrities in the lounge. Among them, the one being surrounded and talked to was the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, who was at the center of the crowd.

A genius at spouting nonsense.

Even though Kogoro Mouri himself doesn't remember how he solved the case, he still boasts about his abilities in front of many passengers, using a bizarre yet inexplicably plausible reasoning process that leaves many passengers in awe.

In contrast, Chaki Shintaro is not as popular.

He could only say that it was fortunate he had asked for leave early; otherwise, if the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Fourth Investigation Division had run into serious trouble, he, as a manager who could barely be considered a high-ranking official, would have been pulled back to work.

Thinking of this, Chaki Shintaro couldn't help but hum softly.

Because Ginzo Nakamori didn't run away. It's said that he set off in a large group with the Second Investigation Division this morning and has been working ever since. He hasn't even returned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to rest yet.

Indeed, the way people are treated depends mainly on comparison.

Compared to Nakamori Ginzo, he felt that the current unpopular atmosphere was much better than the 18-hour workday where he was busy from morning till night and never had a chance to sit down!
"You must be Mr. Chaki Shintaro?"

A doctor nearby asked curiously,

"I heard that you and Mr. Kogoro Mouri joined forces to thwart the Phantom Thief Kid's plot to steal the Destiny Jewel. Could you please tell me more about this?"

Ochagi Jintaro:?

Can we not bring this up? I don't know how to tell you this. Should I say that I got through it because of my backbone?
Fortunately, the boarding announcement had already sounded at that moment.

Chaki Shintaro, as if grasping at a straw, quickly said...

"It's almost time to board. I have a lot of luggage, so I'll go through security first. Excuse me, excuse me!"

Under the doctor's questioning gaze, Chaki Shintaro walked out of the waiting room empty-handed.
He was completely baffled.
What is this? Is it air being checked at security? Or is it some kind of luggage that only smart people can see?
At that moment, Conan pushed up his glasses.
He turned to look at the Hakodate weather forecast displayed in the waiting room.

It clearly states that the entire route from Tokyo to Hakodate is cloudless, and no other abnormal weather is expected before flight SKJ865 arrives at Hakodate Airport.

This means that this flight will not encounter any special accidents.

"Although the uncle and the Junior Detective League all boarded the plane this time, since Chen En didn't come, it shouldn't have such a negative impact as to cause a flight accident, right?"

Conan muttered to himself,

If an accident were to occur, he would have to consider whether or not to fly again.

—If something goes wrong in the sky, there's nowhere to run!

He glanced at the crowd, preparing to have Kogoro Mouri, who was still talking animatedly, follow him, but unexpectedly found that one person was missing from the waiting room: Shinjo Isao, who played Josephine's lover "Hipporito Charles".

This handsome guy, who is said to be in a private relationship with Maki Juri, apparently didn't come at all.

That's strange, what's going on?

Even if they broke up, Shinjo Ko is still an indispensable and important member of the troupe, so there's no reason for him not to come back, right?

Also, why is Xiaolan smiling like an idiot right now?
Is there some funny aspect to this that I'm unaware of?
