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

Chapter 289 Genta Kojima, Targeted by Assassins
"Oh yes, yes, Mr. Chen En is Batman."

"Yes, yes, I also think Detective Mori makes a lot of sense."

Hearing Chen En's incredibly sincere attempt to smooth things over, Officer Chiba and Azusa Enomoto also agreed with Kogoro Mouri's opinion.

In response, Eri Kisaki simply glared at Kogoro Mouri with a face full of black lines.
Then, she headed straight for Eri's law firm, intending to hail a taxi back. Ran Mouri and Chen En, who were beside her, clasped their hands apologetically and followed after Eri, preparing to give it another try.

—Mainly because after Ran Mouri learned of Chen En's answer last time,
She actually asked Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki about the reason for their separation, and then felt that the relationship could be completely saved. Although she failed several times along the way, she still did not give up and was determined to help Eri Kisaki change her problem of cooking badly!
No problem! It's not like Eri Kisaki's cooking is destined to be bad, is it?
"Oh, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

Kogoro Mouri sighed.
He reached out and patted Chen En on the shoulder, saying earnestly,
"Thank you for helping me out. Next time you hitch a ride with me, I promise I won't say a word!"

Chen En: ?
Chen En paused briefly before speaking.

Is it possible that I really am Batman?

Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Chiba, and Azusa Enomoto all turned to look at Chen En at the same time.

Then, Officer Chiba and Azusa Enomoto turned around and went back into the shop to continue with their previous tasks.

Only Kogoro Mouri nodded, saying against his will,

"Of course, I absolutely believe you are Batman!"

It would be a miracle if you actually believed you were Batman.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's completely disbelieving expression,

Chen En didn't say much.
He simply watched as Kogoro Mouri went to the convenience store next door, bought a few bottles of beer, and then ran back to the office with light steps to enjoy a hearty drink.

It has to be said, Kogoro Mouri is living a really carefree life.

He sighed and casually ruffled the heads of Ai Haibara and Conan beside him.

At that moment, the two people who had been turned into elementary school students looked up at him simultaneously, giving him disapproving looks.

Faced with this, Chen En had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his hand.

He then spoke to Ai Haibara.

"Alright, repeat what happened before. I didn't hear clearly when Uncle Mori came to cause trouble."

"You said the Junior Detective League just came back to look for you, what's wrong?"

Conan:?
Huh? The Junior Detective Club just came by?

Go find Haibara? How is that possible? Why don't you come to me?

Conan thought for a moment,
He was just discussing the internal electric current enhancement device of the Batsuit with Chen En at Professor Agasa's laboratory. Even if the Junior Detective League really came to the Mouri Detective Agency, they wouldn't be able to find him.

It's normal for her to settle for second best and go to Ai Haibara, who lives in the apartment across the street.

Thinking about this, Conan felt inexplicably calmer.
He then became curious about why the Junior Detective League had come specifically to find him or Ai Haibara.

Haibara sighed in response.

She repeated what she had said before.
"The Junior Detective League flew back the night before last."

"Yesterday was a regular school day at Teitan Elementary School. Then, the other members of the Junior Detective League noticed that Genta seemed sullen after returning home. At first, they thought it was because he hadn't had much fun in Hakodate City,"

"After asking, Genta said no."

"Some people suspected that something had happened to Yuan Tai's family, so Mr. Lin, the homeroom teacher, made a special trip to Yuan Tai's house to visit him. However, he found nothing unusual, and Yuan Tai went home alone. He couldn't be found all day."

“Ayumi and Mitsuhiko thought that Genta might have encountered some trouble, so they came to ask me and Kudo for help.”

—However, Shinichi Kudo went to Professor Agasa's place as soon as he got home, while she sat in the apartment for a while before noticing the arrival of the Detective Boys. After chatting and checking the time, she simply waited for Chen En to arrive at the apartment entrance.

This is why Ai Haibara and Chen En chatted directly on the street. Chen En stroked his chin, asking curiously,
How depressed are you?

Haibara Ai:?
I didn't go to school again yesterday, how would I know how depressed I am?

Although you may seem reliable at times, you can also be really outrageous at others!

Ai Haibara's face darkened slightly.
Only then did he answer.
“Yuanta didn’t have a school lunch yesterday.”

Chen En: ?
That made me very unhappy.

Conan, who hadn't taken it seriously at first,

Hearing Ai Haibara say that,
His expression also turned serious.

—Genta was so depressed that he didn't even eat?

That's really serious, after all, Genta is a famous competitive eater.

I would eat anything if there was food available, unless I was really in a bad mood and couldn't eat.

"I see. Then it seems necessary to contact Genta."

Conan nodded slightly.

He took out his detective badge from his pocket, about to adjust the channel...
Then, he saw Chen En pull out a series of tracking devices from a hidden compartment in his belt, glance at them, and say directly,
"We've located it. Call your friends, let's go check it out."

Conan:?
I knew you had a tracker that matched the detective badge's location!

However, the situation is urgent.

Conan didn't say much.
The main reason is that his non-prescription glasses also have the ability to track the signals of the detective badge.

The eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother.

Ai Haibara followed behind Batman and Robin.

His gaze held a hint of suspicion.
The doubts I had when I first moved into Chen En's apartment resurfaced.

—These two extraordinary beings, one large and one small,
Could there be a GPS tracker stuck on my clothes or some other item I frequently carry?
Ai Haibara took her detective badge out of her pocket.
She followed behind, staring at the detective badge for a while.

In the end, he put the detective badge back.

Never mind, nothing bad will happen.
If Chen En hadn't used locators and trackers,
They might have all perished back in the Blue Castle.

------

After the other two members of the Junior Detective League received Conan's message,
Out of concern for Genta,

They rushed over without stopping.

Although Chen Enye was somewhat surprised by this matter,

However, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko's attention remained focused on Genta.
"Conan, have you and Ai really found Genta's location?!"

"where is he?"

Conan simply pointed to the park ahead.

There, a heavyweight athlete was sitting on the swing.
The main feature is a melancholic filter.
Although it doesn't match his body type at all.

You won't know until you ask, and what you find will surprise you.

Genta Kojima actually said that he was being targeted by an assassin!
