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

Chapter 346 FBI and Lupin III

The GAME ON GAME arcade was cordoned off by police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department for half a day.

Inspector Megure asked Takaho Shimizu if he knew the location of the needle containing pufferfish toxin, but Shimizu simply said he had stuck the needle to chewing gum and lost it, not knowing who stepped on it and took it. This left Inspector Megure speechless.

Like the guy from the porridge bar, he searched for shoes for ages before finally finding the needle with pufferfish toxin, and then angrily retreated.

Seeing Inspector Megure's hurried arrival and departure...

Conan couldn't help but retort,

"Inspector Megure seems really busy lately. Has the crime rate in Beika Town suddenly increased?"

In response, Chen En merely glanced at Conan and said curiously,

"What are you talking about? Of course not, we're hunting down remnants of the Steel Society."

"Didn't you know? After Black Mask's sudden death, it was rumored that he left behind a large sum of money that disappeared without a trace, which ended up in the hands of the remnants of the Steel Society. As a result, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had to work overtime to hunt down the remnants of the Steel Society."

"Otherwise, who knows how many more troubles might be caused because of Black Mask's legacy."

Oh, so they're arresting the remnants of the Black Mask gang. I thought they were arresting something else...

Conan:?
What? What do you mean that after Black Mask's sudden death, there was a rumor that he left behind a large, unaccounted-for legacy?
No, didn't you rescue Black Mask from inside the Tokyo National Stadium? What happened? Why did Black Mask suddenly die? Did the hospital's attempts to save him fail? Did the Japanese Public Security Bureau, enraged by unsuccessful interrogation, resort to violence?

Or is there some other reason?

Conan's thirst for knowledge is growing wildly.

However, Chen En had no intention of explaining. He simply ruffled Conan's hair and, under Conan's disappointed gaze, turned back to explain the situation to Suzuki Sonoko.

Sighing, Conan was speechless.

Chen En's main strength lies in his unique way of thinking. Such a genius is rare even in Beika Town. He doesn't say what he should say, or his explanations are nonsense. He rarely tells the truth.

"What an awesome boy."

Jodie Starling stood next to Conan and remarked with emotion.

Conan frowned at this and looked up at the woman beside him who was impersonating Vermouth.

While "awesome" can mean great, it also carries a terrifying connotation. Judy's deliberate use of this word to describe Chen En suggests she might have some other intention.
Sure enough, it would be safer to give her an injection when the opportunity arises.

"Conan, over here, over here!"

Ran Mouri greeted him.

Seeing this, Conan hurriedly replied in a low voice before running over, while Jodie Starling chuckled and immediately turned to leave.

Judy had more important things to investigate next.

As we all know, as FBI agents in the Detective Conan universe, the FBI is responsible for many areas and has a long list of targets, one of whom is Lupin III. Now, Lupin III seems to be moving towards Tokyo.

As an FBI agent, it was naturally necessary for her to investigate Lupin III's whereabouts.

However, Judy was completely unaware that her phone had been briefly out of her reach for a few dozen seconds when the police closed the GAME ON GAME arcade.

Previously at Poirot's Coffee Shop, Chen En had already demonstrated his undetectable magic trick on Makoto Kusakabe's phone, and now he was doing the same thing on Judy's phone.

—I finally met an FBI agent, it would be a waste of my luck not to do something shady.
"Chen En, I challenge you!"

"I won't compare you to that new fighting game console. I'll compete with you in the regular Street Fighter arcade game. Dare to have a go?!"

Conan said loudly,

Upon hearing this, Chen En raised an eyebrow.
He slowly sat down and then said,

“I guarantee you’ll soon regret this idea.” Noticing that Judy seemed ready to leave,
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki simply left the two of them—one big and one small—to play arcade games. They took the opportunity to run off and take a couple of photo booth pictures with Jodie, which they could show off when they returned to school.

—Just kidding, running into a teacher at the arcade and taking a headshot together would be a great topic of conversation, wouldn't it?

However, less than a minute after they left,
Conan has already lost two lights in a row, and is completely defeated.

Even if he suddenly became reckless and angry, and replicated the amazing moves of that guy who had just entered the arcade, Chen En could still whip him around like a top even if he just casually assumed a horse stance, only giving him five more seconds of life.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student sat in the chair, feeling as if his entire being had burned out.

—Does this mean he really has no way of mastering the game's skills and no way of finding enjoyment in it?
At this moment, Chen En stood up, extended his hand to Conan, and said,

"Want to learn fighting games? I'll teach you."

Conan:?
He looked up at Chen En, and the next moment, Chen En said...

"Next, I'll pass on my secret winning strategy for Street Fighter!"

Conan:!
A foolproof winning formula? Even I...

"Robin, as long as you don't tell anyone if you cause trouble in the future, it'll be fine!"

Chen En ruffled Conan's hair and said this.

------

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri chatted and laughed about the funny things that happened to Jodie at school.
When they returned, they found everyone had surrounded Conan and Chen En at the arcade. Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki both looked puzzled.

What happened?

Sonoko Suzuki curiously tiptoed to take a peek, but was accidentally elbowed by someone next to her. Just as she lost her balance, an arm reached out from behind and caught her, helping her regain her balance.
She looked up at the person and realized it was Chen En, which made her blush.

Then, a look of doubt appeared in her eyes.

—No, if you're here, then who's playing games?

Conan the brat? But isn't Conan a terrible gamer?
As if sensing Sonoko Suzuki's confusion,

Chen En said,

"Don't worry, Conan has already mastered the winning strategies for this game and the King of Fighters game next door!"

Suzuki Sonoko:?
------

At this moment, the Street Fighter expert who was facing off against Conan was already drenched in sweat.

Because the character Conan controls, the United States soldier with the golden broom head, just squats by the board, and despite making numerous mistakes, he inexplicably gives people the feeling of being flawless!

"Shu Ting!"

Conan used his superhuman hand speed to quickly create a ball.

The opponent jumps over and immediately unleashes a rising dragon, then lands and continues to use a projectile attack, employing a defensive, turtle-like strategy that abandons all thought. He finally felt the joy of the game!

"Damn it, Bo Shengliu, get out of the arcade!"

"Red-hot Street Fighter expert said."

　Currently, we still owe: 532 - 8 + 143 = 667 chapters!
　　Never admit defeat!

　　Ducking!
