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

Chapter 45 Conan's Underlying Code

Osamu Honda pleaded guilty.

He confessed to the entire course of the case —

During the last tokusatsu fan meeting, he deliberately approached Katsuji Mifune to stage a scene where they became enemies, he shot his enemy, and then committed suicide. He even volunteered to prepare the prop gun.

Therefore, Katsuji Mifune pretended to have a falling out with him in front of everyone and cut off contact with others.

It wasn't until this tokusatsu enthusiasts' gathering that Osamu Honda notified Katsuji Mifune to come and act, and they exchanged prop guns at Beika Shrine.

He replaced the prop gun that Katsuji Mifune had been using, which was loaded with blanks and had its muzzle blocked, with a real gun that could actually kill people.

Then, that scene happened in the basement.

—Katsuji Mifune appears with exaggerated acting, reciting his lines to himself, shooting Osamu Honda, and then committing suicide.

"Maybe I'm really not qualified to be Kamen Rider."

Osamu Honda sighed.

The police officer next to him handcuffed him and led him out of the basement.

However, just as Honda was about to step out of the basement, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chen En.

Honda asked,
"how about you?"

"If you were Batman, what would you do in this situation?"

This issue immediately caught the attention of other officers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Chen En touched his belt and pulled out a white coffee cup from somewhere.

He approached Honda Osamu step by step, took a sip of coffee, and then spoke in a low voice.

"I will only tell you one thing."

Batman said in a low voice,
"I will not let that happen to me."

If that happens, I'll beat that person to a pulp, and make them spend the rest of their life in an intensive care unit.

Sometimes, living is more terrifying and painful than dying.

There are no supernatural healing methods like Lazarus Spring in the Conan world.

However, Chen En would not say this in front of the officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

He took a sip of his coffee, then turned around to return to his previous seat.

However, at this moment, Osamu Honda suddenly said...
Do you think you're qualified to be Batman?

Honda Osamu stared at Chen En's retreating figure.

He felt that Chen En was perhaps closer to Batman than to Kamen Rider.

However, he was somewhat unwilling to accept this result, and at the last minute he couldn't help but ask.

Are you closer to your goal than I am?

————Well.

If it weren't for the system's selection, I might still be playing games at home.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with playing video games, but being Batman gives me a much wider world to explore.

After all, I don't have to work 996 every day like my Batman.

Chen En stopped and turned to say,
"of course."

"In addition, I want to clarify one point."

"Being an orphan is not a prerequisite for becoming Batman."

------

"Brother Bat, your behavior just now was far too reckless!"

"If you get this close to the killer, what if the killer gets angry and attacks you? Wouldn't you be in danger?"

Inspector Megure patted Chen En on the shoulder and said earnestly.

He didn't want his new junior colleague, who was so proactive, to one day slip up in a ditch.

Don't be like Kudo, who disappeared without a trace after solving a case.

If I hadn't occasionally heard that Kudo had sent messages to Ran and Mori, I would have been fine.

Inspector Megure was starting to wonder if Shinichi Kudo had been attacked and poisoned by a criminal while investigating something, perhaps because he wasn't paying attention to what was behind him, and ended up dead on the street.

Conan, who had just emerged from behind the chair, smirked and thought to himself, "..."

Come on, who knows who might actually be in danger?

Based on the fighting prowess Chen En displayed at the Changmen Group villa.

If he punches him, Honda Osamu might have to kneel down and beg him not to die.

After giving some earnest instructions, Inspector Megure led the group and the body away.

Before Kogoro Mouri, who was lying in the chair, woke up, Conan quickly went to Chen En's side and asked in confusion,

Where did you put your coffee cup?

"I have to admit, your magic skills seem to be no less than those of Phantom Thief Kid..."

He stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out where Chen En had taken the coffee cup from.

The main point is that there is still coffee flowing in this coffee cup, almost to the point of being full.

It shouldn't be possible to hide it on one's person using conventional methods.

"Hey, want to know how I did it?"

Chen En squatted down and said in a low voice.

He looked all mysterious.

This immediately filled Conan with awe.

Conan leaned closer and whispered,

"Don't worry, this kind of magic secret, you tell me, and I will never tell a second person."

He has always been tight-lipped.

"The secret is—"

Chen En replied solemnly.
"I'm batman!"

Conan:?
Did I come here to hear you say this? Is it a secret?

It's hard, the fist is hard.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School student clenched his fists.

If it weren't for the fact that elementary school students' physical abilities are limited, punching might be mistaken for whining.

He's about to use the Fierce Chariot Fist to attack!
Just as Conan was about to activate his Spinosaurus form and exhale, he was seen breathing out.

Chen En's choice is ————

Just leave it alone!

He took his phone out of his pocket and sent a message to Professor Agasa.

This action immediately caught Conan's attention.

The elementary school student, Death, hesitated, then, having gained the upper hand over the underlying code, curiously peered over for a look.

[Are you there? You don't want to never see your first love again, do you?]

[Sender: Batman]

Conan:?
Does Professor Agasa have a first love?

No, that's not the point. Why are you talking like you've kidnapped Professor Agasa's first love?
Are you a local? Why do you sound like a local netizen?

Chen En got up and then sent a message to Dr. Agasa.

Conan looked up and stood on tiptoe, but still couldn't see.

Blood pressure suddenly rose.

The two underlying codes, breath and thirst for knowledge, began to clash wildly, causing him to crash. Finally, he was lifted up by the collar of fate by Kogoro Mouri, who had just woken up, without moving.

Looking at Chen En, who was exchanging messages with Professor Agasa, I wondered what he was doing.

Conan's thirst for knowledge surged wildly.

For a time, the big head defeated the small head.

Conan secretly made up his mind:

No, I'm going to run back to Professor Agasa's house tonight!

I can't sleep until I find out the truth!

------

Dr. Agasa's research institute.

Professor Agasa scratched his head and glanced at the bat props that had been made next to him.

Then, I replied with a message.

Tell me more, I'm waiting for you at home.

[Sender: Dr. Agasa]

If Batman could actually find information about his first love.

That means it's okay if all these props were made for nothing!
So many years have passed, how can I miss seeing her this once in a while?
　Family members, please take a look at the pinned post I made in the book review section.

　　Autumn pear syrup (>﹏<), without you guys, Watashi...
