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

Chapter 288 Chen En is a kind and honest man.
Although it was only a little over two days since I left the Mouri Detective Agency,

However, Ran Mouri still insisted on cleaning the entire Mouri Detective Agency, inside and out, which forced Kogoro Mouri to put on arm sleeves and a mask and help Ran clean, leaving him exhausted.

Looking at the almost-cleaned Mouri Detective Agency, Kogoro Mouri leaned back on the sofa and muttered to himself,

"That damn Conan brat! No wonder he disappeared as soon as I got to the office!"

"So you guessed that Ran was going to do a big cleaning soon, and to avoid being conscripted, you ran away to Professor Agasa's house beforehand, huh? You brat, don't let me catch you, or I'll show you what the Mori God Fist is all about!"

Just as Kogoro Mouri was internally complaining,
Ran Mouri peeked out from behind the bookshelf, staring at Kogoro Mouri's retreating figure, and asked,
"Dad, I just found this magazine in your room. Is it yours?"

Maori Kogoro:?

He suddenly turned around and looked at the magazine in Ran Mouri's hand.
Just by looking at the cover, you can tell it's content unsuitable for children.
Kogoro Mouri feigned shock and said,

"Who...who put this magazine in my room?"

"It must be that brat Conan! Damn it, he's so young but already reading this kind of magazine, and he even secretly hid it in my room! Ran, give me the magazine, and I'll destroy it for justice!"

Before Kogoro Mouri could finish speaking,
The door to the Mori Detective Agency was opened.

Eri Kisaki stared at Kogoro Mouri, who was still stubbornly arguing inside.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say about Kogoro Mouri.

Behind Kogoro Mouri, Conan wore a speechless expression.

Please, don't say the magazine was hidden by an elementary school student.

How could such a thing be possible? Wouldn't you laugh at yourself if you told anyone?
Kogoro Mouri suddenly felt attacks from all directions.
He instinctively took several steps back.
It wasn't until he leaned against the glass of the Mori Detective Agency that he glanced at the street outside.

At this moment, Chen En has also returned.

He put his hands in his pockets, seemingly talking to Ai Haibara.
Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

He suddenly stood up, pointed in the direction of the street, and shouted,
"Eri, Ran, Conan, look, Chen En is back!"

"I recognized him immediately when I saw him save us – Bear Grylls was actually Chen En! Now, it's time for me to prove it to you! Come on, watch my performance!"

Kogoro Mori fled outside as if his life depended on it.
Even when passing by Ran Mouri, he didn't forget to steal the magazine and hide it inside his suit jacket.
Seeing this, Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri exchanged a glance, each able to see the confusion in the other's eyes.
—If Chen En is indeed Bear Grylls, who saved them on the plane,

Does that mean that Chen En's claim of being Batman was actually true? The famous Batman of Hakodate City is actually this young man, Chen En, who always jokes around with them?

Neither Eri Kisaki nor Ran Mouri believed it.

Conan, on the contrary, was startled.
He hadn't expected that Chen En would be the first to guess that he was the mastermind behind Batman in Hakodate City.

It turned out to be Uncle Mori, who usually seems incredibly confused!

Could it be that Kogoro Mouri is actually a master detective just like Kogoro Akechi, only he doesn't show it on ordinary days, but when faced with danger, he suddenly unlocks his full potential and becomes a top detective?!
Conan turned around, ready to follow them to see what was going on.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri had already rushed downstairs.

Seeing Chen En and Ai Haibara turn to look at him strangely, he pointed at Chen En and said loudly,
"Chen En, are you the Batman from Hakodate City yesterday?!"

Hearing this sentence,
Even Officer Chiba, who was having lunch at Poirot's Cafe,

Enomoto Azusa, the mascot of the event, curiously peeked out and looked at Chen En.

Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki, who were following behind downstairs, also felt a pang of anxiety.
They looked at Chen En nervously.
Facing the gazes of everyone, Chen En finally spoke slowly.
“That’s right, you guessed it, Uncle Mori.” “I’m Batman!”

Although I had somewhat anticipated this.

But seeing that Chen En actually admitted it...
Kogoro Mouri was so startled that he took a step back.

Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri, who were standing nearby, also looked surprised.

It's hard to imagine that someone who completely replicates a comic book hero would readily admit to being a hero.

However, at this time,
Officer Chiba, standing nearby, blinked and said,
"Detective Mori, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“Mr. Chen En had dinner with me at Poirot Cafe yesterday, and Miss Azusa also remembers it well… Speaking of which, Inspector Megure, who rushed back from Hakodate City, thought the same thing. Could it be that you, Detective Mouri, told Inspector Megure?”

Officer Chiba shook his head at this thought.

"Superintendent Hakuba relegated Inspector Megure to a lower rank because of this!"

Maori Kogoro:?

Did I say that? Inspector Megure must have guessed wrong...

But Chen En actually ate at Poirot Cafe yesterday? Really?
Kogoro Mouri's eyes held a hint of suspicion.

He turned to look at Enomoto Azusa, who nodded slightly and said with a soft laugh,

"Mr. Mori, I know you're trying to change the subject,"

"After all, Ms. Fei also went upstairs, but the topic you changed is completely untenable."

Hear this,

Behind him, Eri Kisaki gave Kogoro Mouri a disapproving look, staring at him.
Ran Mouri, standing nearby, sighed, having anticipated this.

For a moment, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
Could it be that his reasoning was really flawed?
—Wait a minute, I don't think I'm relying on deduction; I just simply feel that Chen En is Batman.
So we'll just say Chen En is Batman...

Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly.

But Chen En, with a serious expression, put his arm around Kogoro Mouri's shoulder and said loudly,
"Ms. Kisaki, please don't look at Detective Mouri like that. He's a very capable detective too!"

"That's right, I am the Batman who appeared in Hakodate City, Bear Grylls of the Sky Jumping Brigade, and the superhero who single-handedly took down hundreds of yakuza members, wiped out a Southeast Asian mercenary squad, stole a bomber, and saved Hakodate City!"

"As for why I can appear in both Tokyo and Hakodate at the same time, there's only one reason!"

"Because, I'm batman!"

Kogoro Mouri became increasingly sweaty as he listened.

I think Chen En is a really kind person; he even dared to cover up such a big mistake for him!
For a moment, the two had their arms around each other's shoulders, appearing to be very close friends.

As for whether Chen En is actually the Batman from Hakodate City...

Kogoro Mouri thought it probably wasn't.

Let's stop talking about this. If you ask, I simply don't believe you!
