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

Chapter 431 The Man Who Is Simultaneously the Second, Third, and Fourth Greatest Detectives in the World

"Arn, what were you doing earlier?"

Sonoko Suzuki, linking her arm with Chen En's, asked curiously,
She knew that Chen En would be going with her to have a confession session with Suzuki Tomoko, so she wasn't trying to hide it from outsiders. Anyway, everyone would find out sooner or later, so it didn't matter.

As the heiress to the Suzuki Group, Sonoko Suzuki usually appears rather unsophisticated.

So much so that if she were on the street, no one would recognize that Sonoko Suzuki was the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, and naturally no one would care about Sonoko Suzuki's love life. But it's different here; every powerful person here is a discerning individual.

The moment Suzuki Sonoko took Chen En's arm, many celebrities looked at Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En with shocked expressions.

—In fact, back when Suzuki Jirokichi first confronted Kaito Kid at the Suzuki Foundation Exhibition Hall,
There were already rumors that Sonoko Suzuki had found a boyfriend, and that she and her boyfriend had even participated in the setup of the Suzuki Foundation's exhibition hall to capture Kaito Kid. However, it wasn't until now that they had actually seen what her boyfriend looked like.

Well, he doesn't look like a rich person, and his attire isn't very formal either.

He was wearing a black overcoat as casual wear; for such a high-end occasion, he didn't even bother with a suit and tie. The only thing that caught the eye was his face, and to be honest, it was quite handsome, complementing his overall demeanor.

If used to deceive naive young ladies from wealthy families, it would be foolproof.

"I bet this couple wouldn't last fifteen minutes in front of that Suzuki Group board chairwoman."

A celebrity or powerful figure was chirping crickets softly in the background, but dared not speak loudly, lest he disturb the heavenly beings.

Sonoko Suzuki is still young and not yet of age to assume power. However, the fact that Sonoko is not in power does not mean that Jirokichi Suzuki, who follows behind her and protects her and Chen En, is not in power either.

This advisor to the Suzuki Foundation has proven through his actions that he is more than just a good-looking advisor.

"How can you say that? I think that kid is fine."

Kogoro Mouri quietly joined the gossip squad of the powerful and wealthy. The other powerful and wealthy were not surprised at all that Kogoro Mouri had infiltrated them, but they were surprised that Kogoro Mouri seemed to know and be connected with this mysterious man in the overcoat.

"I am not alone," said Inspector General Moroboshi, who was patting the top of Hideki Moroboshi's head. He asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean, Mori? It seems you know quite a bit about this mysterious man in the overcoat."

He had never seen any news reports about this man.

If this guy is a detective like Kogoro Mouri, and Kogoro Mouri thinks it's okay for him and Sonoko Suzuki to become a couple, then this guy must be a top detective in Tokyo. He should have heard of him.

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri snorted.

"Of course, he's the world's second-best detective, second only to me, much better than that brat Kudo." Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Chen En had proactively acknowledged his Batman identity and spoken up for him deserved some reward. If the elite circles all felt Chen En was a good match for Suzuki Sonoko, things would be much easier.
It's rare for him to admit that other detectives are excellent, so this naturally evil little bat brat should just be secretly happy!

Ran Mouri, standing nearby, listened with a hint of helplessness as Kogoro Mouri boasted.

However, she thought that the image of Chen En that Kogoro Mouri boasted about might not be an exaggeration. Maybe Mr. Chen En really was that outstanding, second only to his father and Shinichi as a famous detective.

Later, Conan, who was traveling with the Detective Boys, stroked his chin.
He felt that something was still not quite right about this matter.
Did Chen En really just give Professor Agasa a hidden door charm during this incident, and then watch the whole thing without doing anything? Conan has now figured out what his "end-of-life care" plan was all about.

But it was precisely because of this that he was certain Chen En couldn't have done nothing; in his heart,
Chen En is the world's third-ranked detective, second only to him and his father, Kudo Yusaku. If he can put a big plan on Noah's Ark with prior preparation, Chen En can definitely do the same.

Did this guy really not get any benefit at all? Is he really just a completely good-natured person?
Well, although Chen En's image might be a bit off, he does seem to be a really nice guy...

Conan, thinking about this, was starting to lose his composure.
He glanced at Ai Haibara beside him, who seemed to be deep in thought. She hadn't said a word since coming out of the Cocoon Game pod, which made Conan feel that something was a little off.

Conan always had a feeling that Ai Haibara might have some degree of self-destructive tendencies.
Although Ai Haibara hasn't shown it much, he has a vague feeling that she might be thinking about planting a bomb and performing a self-destructive "noble sacrifice."

Thinking of this, Conan stepped back slightly, patted Ai Haibara on the shoulder, and said,
"Haibara, think of your family, don't do anything foolish."

Haibara Ai:?
How did you come to the conclusion that I was going to do something stupid?

Is silent contemplation the sole prerogative of master detectives? Couldn't the former scientist of the Black Organization have done the same? This is infuriating! When will scientists ever be able to stand up for themselves?
Ai Haibara simply replied,
"I'm thinking about how I can improve my computer skills."

"If my computer skills were as good as Professor Agasa's and En Chin's, perhaps I wouldn't have just been a powerless 'story victim' in this Cocoon Game incident."

She also realized that the 19th-century London replica was simply a torture scene for Conan.
Therefore, Noah's Ark deliberately created an atmosphere where other players had to sacrifice themselves to save others in order for the game to continue. After seeing through this, she sacrificed herself without hesitation to save others, preventing Conan's strategy from going wrong.

She was now wondering if Noah's Ark had already self-destructed, then the identity of the computer teacher [Noah] that Chen En had promised her was once again an unknown. Could it really be such a coincidence?

Is it possible that there are two top computer experts in the world named Noah?

"Arn, what do you think—"

Sonoko Suzuki twirled around with a grin, the hem of her evening gown swaying in the breeze.
The night made her appear even more ethereal—though this was completely at odds with her demeanor when she spoke, it now gave off a beautiful aura. Chen En listened attentively to Suzuki Sonoko's words.

The next moment, he turned his head to look outside the transparent glass curtain wall.

The glass curtain wall shattered with a loud thud.
