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

Chapter 348 Does the Chinese national football team also have players with the title "Dragon God"?
—The FBI is preparing to arrest Lupin III.

In other words, Lupin III arrived in Tokyo earlier than Chen En had anticipated, and today seemed to be the day to clash with Lupin III and his gang, as well as the "Bermuda Ghosts."

Chen En's finger lightly tapped on his earphone.
Using the bug in Judy's phone, he could hear every conversation inside the FBI's temporary headquarters and easily track the movements of people using the locator.

Determining the location of the FBI's provisional headquarters will make it easier to target it if needed in the future.

"Sigh, being invincible is so lonely."

"I only managed a ten-game winning streak, and the people in the arcade were too afraid to face me head-on. They even told me to get out of the arcade. It's so lonely. Is this what it feels like to be at the top of the gaming world?"

Conan stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a lonely master.

Chen En merely glanced at Conan beside him, offering no comment.

In the arcade, Conan used the Wave Rising Stream and Guile to defeat many fighting game masters in one fell swoop. If Conan hadn't been so young, he would have definitely developed into a live-action Mortal Kombat game in the arcade.

These days, simply kicking Conan out of the arcade is already quite lenient.

However, this kid seems to have been playing games for too long without winning. Now that he's won a lot of rounds, he's suddenly become arrogant. Hopefully, he won't get ambushed one day for playing games at the arcade.

"Ah, what do you think of the skill levels of the gamers in this arcade?"

Suzuki Sonoko, who was holding Chen En's hand, asked with a grin,

Chen En gave an affirmative answer to this.

"I regard the masses as mere trinkets for sale!"

This remark seemed to rouse Ran Mouri, who was looking at Conan and finding his appearance somewhat amusing.
She peeked over and asked curiously,
"Ah, isn't this something Guan Yu (Yun Chang) said in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"

Chen En: ?
Why do you locals like to pronounce your names and courtesy names together? Is it because many of your names have four or five characters, so you feel that your names are too short if you don't pronounce them together?
Although he inwardly complained about the pronunciation of ancient names, Chen En still answered affirmatively.
"That's right, it was indeed something Guan Yu said in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."

"Miss Mori, are you familiar with 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?"

Chen En turned his head to look at Ran Mouri, and asked with some confusion,
Ran Mouri responded with a smile.
"Although the Records of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not very popular, I have read them. I am quite familiar with the famous lines and some special parts, such as the Battle of Red Cliffs."

—Red Cliff? Is it the Red Cliff Mansion arc in Nagano Prefecture, centered around Morofushi Takaaki?
In Chen En's mind, all his memories flipped through the pages of a book. After searching for relevant content, he realized that Ran Mouri was indeed familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it seemed that the only part that really mentioned this was the content of the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Speaking of which, Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko had agreed to go celestial observation together, and their destination was also Nagano Prefecture.

Perhaps we'll run into Morofushi Takaaki again in Nagano Prefecture, whose name sounds like "Zhuge Liang Kongming," but the chances are really slim...

"The Three Kingdoms?"

Sonoko Suzuki blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She wasn't very familiar with this aspect. Although she knew a little about the characters in the Three Kingdoms period because of the many Three Kingdoms games published by Koei Tecmo, she knew nothing about the specific lines of any particular character.

Sonoko Suzuki secretly resolved to go home and read some related books to broaden her knowledge.

They can't be like Ran and Kudo, with very few shared interests, can they?

"Ah, that's about it. I'm off!"

Before she knew it, she had already left the arcade. She said goodbye to Chen En and Xiao Lan, then reluctantly got into the car and headed towards the Suzuki Manor. The Suzuki Group bodyguard in the driver's seat even gave Chen En a hand signal.
Then he drove off. ———— This must have been a bodyguard arranged by Jirokichi Suzuki. Otherwise, if it were a bodyguard arranged by Tomoko Suzuki, they would have memorized his features by now and put pressure on Sonoko Suzuki to fast-forward to the meeting of the parents.

However, in Chen En's eyes, meeting the parents was not a difficult thing to handle.

Suzuki Tomoko may be under a lot of pressure, but he is a person who is not under pressure at all. He doesn't feel pressure at all. The set of moves that Suzuki Tomoko usually uses can't even trigger the fear shock that Kyogoku Makoto, let alone trigger the fear shock on him.

If Tomoko Suzuki can really do that, then Seneca should hand over the position of leader of the Yellow Lantern Legion to Tomoko Suzuki.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask this before, but I haven't had a chance to."

"Didn't Uncle Mori say before that the Chinese national team could beat Japan 3-0? What's going on? Although I don't know much about this, isn't the Chinese national team already in decline at this time?"

Chen En suddenly remembered something about the football match.
He had wanted to complain before about why the Chinese national football team was able to shut out the Japanese team 3-0 in the 1990s, but he was too busy investigating Black Mask at the time to ask. Now that he thinks about it, he wants to ask what happened.

In response, Ran Mouri touched her lips with her finger, deep in thought.
She doesn't really know much about football, and if it weren't for the fact that Chen En's name is a typical Chinese name, she might be wondering why the Japanese team would beat the Japanese team 3-0.

"Isn't this a very simple matter?"

"Because the national team next door is very strong, right?"

Upon hearing the word "soccer," Conan's inner code was triggered, instantly snapping him back to reality. He looked up at Chen En and said seriously,
"The midfielder over there, Xiao Junguang, is ridiculously strong. Our domestic news media call him the Dragon God."

"How could you say that football next door was in decline in the 1990s?"

Chen En: ?
Who? It sounds familiar, but he doesn't remember anyone being called the Dragon God.

It's probably a uniquely Japanese title, like "The Fierce Tiger of the Empire" or "The Destroying Dragon of the Empire." It's the kind of title that's used in front of someone, and even that person doesn't know who it refers to.

I'm too lazy to dwell on this issue.

Chen En and his two companions had already arrived downstairs at the Mouri Detective Agency. He immediately waved and said,
"Goodbye, Miss Mori, Conan."

Ran Mouri politely said goodbye to Chen En.

Under her gaze, Conan reluctantly remained polite.

When the two entered the internal staircase and prepared to go upstairs,
Conan suddenly turned his head and glanced at the apartment entrance.

However, Chen En had vanished without a trace.
His intuition told him that something was wrong.

However, he didn't know what was wrong.

Conan reached up and scratched his head, muttering to himself,

"Seriously, what's wrong with us?"

"Am I overlooking something?"
