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

Chapter 46 What does it mean to have a riddle on a postcard?
"Huh? You're going straight back later?"

Kogoro Mouri, carrying two bottles of red wine, said with some dissatisfaction,

"Since you live right next to the office, why don't you come over and have a couple of drinks with me?"

"Hey kid, you can't possibly not drink it, can you?"

The basement of the tokusatsu enthusiasts' club offers dinner and drinks.

While Chen En was squatting on Honda Shu, Kogoro Mouri was already inseparable from his favorite drinks.

He was drunk when he heard the gunshot.

He was instantly jolted awake and rushed over, only to be soothed to sleep by Conan's needle.

Kogoro Mouri is still carrying the two bottles of red wine that the tokusatsu enthusiasts gave him at the end of the event, ready to go home and drink them.

"As everyone knows, Batman doesn't drink alcohol."

Chen En said this.

Of course, Gotham's Batman doesn't drink alcohol because he needs to maintain peak physical condition.

The Batman in the movie "Mikado" doesn't drink alcohol simply because he's never touched one since he was a child.

Chen En wasn't sure if he was the type to get drunk easily or the type to drink endlessly, so he didn't gamble on that possibility.

Not gambling is winning.

He saw that Chen En refused the offer to drink with him.

Kogoro Mouri sighed, somewhat disappointed.

He glanced at the other people following him.

His own daughter, Ran Mouri, is a minor and cannot drink alcohol. Even when she becomes an adult, she certainly won't drink alcohol.

Needless to say, the four little devils in the Junior Detective League were also a force to be reckoned with.

He hasn't reached the point where he needs to find young kids as drinking buddies.

"Alright, alright, I'll drink it myself when I get back, don't waste it."

Kogoro Mouri yawned and muttered to himself.

Not long after, the other parents of the Junior Detective Club arrived at the villa where the tokusatsu enthusiasts were holding their event.

The parents thanked Kogoro Mouri as they carried the Detective Boys kids to their cars.

They've already gotten quite familiar with this.

There's nothing we can do; we can't control it.

All I can say is that my child seems a little more mischievous and a little less lucky compared to other children.

Watching Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko's parents walk away.

Kogoro Mouri led Conan and Ran Mouri home.

Since it was on their way, Chen En accompanied them for at least this part of the journey.

Conan, who was being led by Ran Mouri, kept staring at Chen En's back.

He remembered that Professor Agasa had indeed mentioned having a first love before.

At the time, a riddle postcard was also mentioned.

However, he was in a hurry at the time and didn't ask for details. Now that he thinks about it, could it be that Chen En was referring to the riddle on that postcard?
Is he going to solve the riddle related to Professor Agasa's first love?
Conan was somewhat incredulous.

He had a clear understanding of Chen En's reasoning and combat abilities.

However, he felt that Chen En might not be as good at decryption as he was.

Chen En has only known Dr. Agasa for a few days.

How many days has he known Professor Agasa? And how could Chen En possibly have more information about Professor Agasa's first love than he did?

Conan muttered to himself,

"I have a feeling that Professor Agasa is going to get fooled again, just like before."

Then they'll come up with some ridiculous comic book or super-powerful little bat character design.

No matter what, he was determined to go and see for himself today.

However, he needs to come up with a good reason to convince Ran and the uncle to let him go to Professor Agasa's house first...

------

"Hey, are we staying at Professor Agasa's house again today?"

Downstairs of the Mori Detective Agency.

Ran Mouri asked with some concern,

"It's so late, wouldn't it be dangerous to go now?" "Conan, shall I take you there?"

Beika Town is not a safe place at night.

After all, Beika Town has more than eighty crematoriums operating 24/7.

The danger level of Beika Town at night is evident.

Conan simply smiled at this.

He was once the famous detective Shinichi Kudo, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era.

A legend of a man who roams Beika Town at night, a being that strikes fear into the heart of Kuro.

He was just walking at night; how could he possibly be in danger?
Besides, Chen En has already gone over. If he goes any later, there won't be any left to eat melons!
He'll be really heartbroken if he doesn't get to hear this, okay?

"Go ahead and go, it's no big deal."

Kogoro Mouri's voice came down from upstairs.

He had just placed the two bottles of red wine on the table when he turned and went downstairs, his hands in his pockets, and said nonchalantly,
"Alright, kid, get in the car, I'll take you there."

With alcohol to drink, he was in a fairly good mood.

Anyway, it's only a short distance, and there won't be any problems if I take him back. Consider it a prelude to the big drinking session that follows.

"Dad, you just drank alcohol!"

Ran Mouri stomped her foot and said somewhat angrily,
"Besides, you've been drinking way too much lately, haven't you?"

“You drink every time you handle a case. If you drink two cans of alcohol every two days, four cans every four days, and eight cans every eight days, you’ll turn into an eight-headed serpent!”

"In that case, I'll really have to call Mom over to give you a piece of my mind!"

In mythology, the Yamata no Orochi was killed because he was drunk and had the Kusanagi sword taken from him.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri looked troubled.

However, he still called Conan to get in the car without hesitation and prepared to leave immediately.

He was sober when the incident occurred.

It's only a short distance, there won't be any problems!

However, just as Conan got into the car, and Kogoro Mouri was about to start the engine...

A patrol car bearing the markings of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Traffic Division happened to drive by.

Noticing that Kogoro Mouri seemed about to drive off, he reversed back.

Two policewomen immediately got out of the car, took out their notebooks, and politely asked,

"Hello, I am Yumi Miyamoto, a police inspector from the Traffic Enforcement Division of the Traffic Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

“This is my colleague, Miike Naeko, the patrol chief of the Traffic Enforcement Division.”

"Here's the thing, we're currently conducting an investigation into drunk driving. Could you please cooperate and listen to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's new slogan?"

—I'm a traffic enforcement officer.

Kogoro Mouri's hand, which was just about to light the fire, suddenly stopped.

He looked left and right, touching everything with an expression that said, "Who put me in the car?"

Then, unable to fool them any longer, he finally said with a pained expression,
"I know, I know, don't drink and drive, and don't drink and drive."

pat.

Conan jumped out of the car, his face full of black lines.

Taking advantage of Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri's inattention, they headed straight for Professor Agasa's research lab at full speed.

Seriously, that guy has never been reliable!
"There are countless roads, but safety is the most important," reminds you from the Tokyo Metropolitan Transportation Department's Enforcement Division.

"Reckless driving brings tears to loved ones' eyes..."

The policewoman's voice gradually faded.

Conan's desire to watch the drama unfold is growing rapidly.

He really wanted to see some gossip.

Did Chen En solve the riddle postcard mentioned by Professor Agasa, or not?!
------

What does it mean to have a riddle on a postcard?

Chen En blinked, looking somewhat confused.

I don’t know.

He shook his head and asked directly.
"Professor Agasa, just tell me the name, and I'll figure out a solution."
