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

Chapter 386 Beika Town, now sparsely populated due to the return of the Grim Reaper

"Uncle Mori, you look very refreshed today."

Chen En raised his hand to greet Kogoro Mouri.
Instantly, Kogoro Mouri, who was jogging and warming up with Sayuri by the bedside, turned pale. He immediately unleashed the speed he once possessed as the Tiger of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, and ran off without looking back.

He thought to himself, "You naturally evil little bat brat, don't let me catch you, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

The little lily that had been slowly following behind was forced to speed up as well.
While saying things like "Detective Mori, slow down, you can't stand it if you go too fast," she put on a huge pile of gold and silver jewelry and became an unstoppable tank that automatically followed her, becoming a less-than-glamorous sight on the street.

Ran Mouri, standing next to Chen En, secretly rubbed her forehead and sighed.
Originally, Dad didn't plan to take on the request from Little Lily by the bedside, but he couldn't resist her persistent pleading and finally agreed to the jogging request. According to him, "If you're going to get paid, why not take it?"

In addition, Dad also took on an investigation commission from an old man.

At the time, the old man said that the matter of Little Lily by the bedside was not a big deal, but he was the big deal. As a result, he and Little Lily by the bedside argued in the office. In the end, the father came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

—Little Lily by the Bedside: Isn't running for exercise?
There's no need to be so rigid about the timing. Isn't exercising in the morning or at night the same? As long as the jogging time is flexible, he'll have time to start investigating the matter of that old man named Gamo Ryozo.

"How strange, why does it feel like there's hardly anyone around here?"

Conan, who was following behind, said something that sounded rather strange.

He glanced at his watch. The JR train from Shinno Prefecture departs at 10:00, arrives in Tokyo at 11:30, and then they arrive in Beika Town at 12:00. The current time is 12:20.

It's about a five-minute walk from Chen En's apartment and the Mouri Detective Agency.

We haven't even entered that quiet residential street yet; we're still within the commercial street area. Normally, the foot traffic on the commercial street shouldn't have declined to this extent, which is quite strange.

In response, Chen En simply stroked his chin and said seriously,

"Perhaps it is because the Grim Reaper of Beika Town has arrived in his loyal Beika Town today."

"So much so that many citizens of Beika Town are terrified at the mere mention of his name, leaving their homes in an attempt to escape the aura of death that haunts Beika Town... Hmm, I think that's the only reasonable explanation."

Conan:?
Why are you trying to slander me again, all in a roundabout way?

Who are you calling the Grim Reaper? Who are you calling the Grim Reaper?! As the saying goes, detectives are drawn to cases, so it's not that the detective's appearance caused the incident, but rather that the incident attracted the detective!
Thinking of this, Conan immediately stared disapprovingly at the back of Chen En's head.

The inherently evil old bat ghost constantly slanders his luck.
Does this mean Chen En gets paid for defaming him? Does he think my Spinosaurus form is weak and my breath attack is ineffective? Don't let me catch you in a case where you're the only one present, or I'll start badmouthing your luck!

"Hey, I don't think so, right? Dad's luck and reputation aren't that bad, are they?"

Ran Mouri blinked, and said with some confusion,

Hearing this, Chen En glanced at Ran Mouri, then turned to look at Conan, whose expression remained unchanged, before turning his head back, pondering for a moment, and replying.

"Hard to say." Ran Mouri: ?

Without saying much, Chen En simply put his hands in his pockets, recalling what had happened earlier.
Sonoko had originally planned to spend another day with him, but it seems that because tonight's Cocoon game announcement event could be considered a social gathering of celebrities from all walks of life, she was called back to choose clothes and meet people.

—Although Sonoko might not care at all, it's not really appropriate to wear casual clothes to this formal occasion.

After all, not everyone is like Chen En, who can simply wear a tie and carry a coffee cup to high-society events and make everyone think that he was always there, without any other negative impressions.

The Cocoon Games press conference tonight should proceed without any major issues, but he still contacted Yusaku Kudo before getting out of the car, inviting Tadahiro Kashimura to his home for a visit, saying he would be there later.

Regardless of anything else, human life and safety should be the top priority.

Although he felt that tonight's events were likely to go perfectly, he was always prepared for the worst. The mistake that Shuichi Akai had made earlier almost ruined the entire plan, so he had to be on guard against some unexpected situations.

Chen En remembers clearly that this world is similar to, but not entirely the same as, the works he recalls.
If you make plans entirely based on what you remember, sooner or later it will collapse like the previous plan to rescue Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho, due to deviations from the original work, resulting in the deaths of people who shouldn't have died.

He occasionally answered a few questions about Ran and Conan, and the short five-minute journey passed quickly.
Upon arriving at the apartment building entrance, Chen En paused briefly, then turned to Ran Mouri and said...
"Miss Mori, I'll be going now. See you next time."

Hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded and said politely,
"Yes, Mr. Chen En, see you next time."

Then she turned her gaze to Conan, who hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying...
"See you next time, Brother Chen En."

When it comes to their childhood friends, almost all high school detectives in the world of Detective Conan are completely smitten.

Even Shinichi Kudo, known as the "Holmes of the Heisei Era," was no exception. Although he clearly didn't want to talk to Chen En about this, he still reluctantly and politely did so with Ran Mouri around.

Chen En simply smiled at this and turned to go upstairs.

Ran Mouri led Conan towards the inner staircase.

She took her key out of her bag, opened the door to the living room on the third floor of the Mouri Detective Agency, and prepared to tidy up a bit before starting to cook, although lunch was definitely out of the question—they had already eaten near the station.
But we still need to prepare dinner. Although we can go to Poirot Cafe, it's better to cook it ourselves.

Conan yawned as he sat down next to the TV.
He was about to turn on the TV to watch the latest programs when the phone rang. Somewhat puzzled, he took his phone out of his pocket and pressed the answer button.

"procession?"

Chen En asked,

"Would you like me to make you a flag?"
