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

Chapter 487 Anno: I just got back to Tokyo. Why is it so lively today?
It had quietly come to 7 p.m.

Anno, returning from his trip, nervously walked through a line of police cars back to his apartment building. Then, he thought about how cheap the housing was here, so even a terrorist attack wouldn't happen here.

Anno was left with a feeling of being both amused and exasperated.

He had originally planned to use his lottery winnings to build a detached house after his trip, so he wouldn't have to squeeze into an apartment building with other people.

However, it seems that residential buildings aren't so bad after all.

In a residential building, a serious incident might kill one or two people at most. But if a serious incident were discovered next to a detached house with high property prices, a bomb explosion could kill a whole bunch of people.

Although Batman is very capable and always manages to save people before the bombs explode.

However, Batman is only human, at best a god, and it's impossible for him to be infallible forever. He's not going to gamble his life on whether Batman can save him from a life-threatening crisis in time.

The best way to avoid death is to never put yourself in a crisis.

"Oh dear, this whole trip has been ruined by this incident."

Mr. Anno sighed.

He opened his front door, and then he froze.

At this moment, Mitsuko Anno, Ran Mouri, Conan, Eisuke Hondo, and Sonoko Suzuki were all gathered together, with a mahjong set on the table. When they saw him appear, they all turned to look at Anno.

Anno:?
Did I go to the wrong place? Why are so many people playing mahjong in my house?
I'm thinking, I don't think I invited anyone else over to play mahjong, right? Why is even my mom here?
------

After Conan and the others explained...

Anno finally understood what had happened today.

Someone secretly broke into his house and then called his mother, Mitsuko Anno, using his identity to try to defraud her of the only two million yen in her account.

However, Conan and the others saw through their scheme, and in the end, they were able to save Anno Mitsuko's two million yen.

Afterwards, Conan and the others planned to wait for Anno to return home in order to verify whether the person in the photo was indeed Rena Mizunashi, since they estimated that Anno would be able to return from his trip that evening.

Because they were bored, they simply started playing mahjong, and that's how Anno saw this situation.

Anno expressed his gratitude in response.
"Thank you so much! Otherwise, I can't even imagine how heartbroken my mom would be if she had been scammed out of two million yen! As expected of Kogoro Mouri's daughter, her deductive reasoning skills are outstanding!"

Ran Mouri: ?

Why would you say something like that? It wasn't me making the deduction, was it?

Without saying much, Anno then asked,
"You want me to identify if the person in the photo is Rena Mizunashi?"

After seeing everyone nod, Anno immediately boasted,
"I'm not just making this up, I'm a huge fan of Rena Mizunashi."

"I've copied all of Rena Mizunashi's videos and audio recordings from her debut day until now. They're stored at home; they fill a whole cabinet! Don't worry about leaving them to me. Where are the photos?"

Upon hearing this, Hondo Eisuke nervously took the photo out of his pocket.

He whispered,
“Mr. Anno, this person is my older sister, Hondo Emi.”

"I suspect she might have changed her name and taken on a different job, working as a presenter for Nichiuri TV, but I can't be sure if Rena Mizunashi is really my sister, so..."

"Isn't that Rena Mizunashi?" Anno blinked and said with some surprise.

Before Hondo Eisuke could refute, he immediately pulled out a videotape, turned on the TV, and put it in. Instantly, the images on the tape appeared; it was a live television interview.

The only difference between what appears to be the photo and what is actually the image is that Rena Mizunashi, dressed differently, is explaining the disaster situation to people on television.

"Look, isn't this exactly the same as Rena Mizunashi when she first debuted?"

"This is a recording of Rena Mizunashi's debut live stream. Her instant fame is due to the special qualities she displayed during that live stream —"

Anno hadn't finished speaking.

During the television program, a doctor shouted from behind Rena Mizunashi.
"Is there anyone with blood type AB? There is a person here who has lost a lot of blood, and we need someone with blood type AB to donate blood."

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizunashi quickly put down the microphone and spoke to the cameraman.
Then he turned and ran towards the doctor, shouting,
"Doctor, I have type AB blood, I can donate blood to save lives!"

————Type AB blood?

A hint of doubt appeared in Hondo Eisuke's eyes.

He has type O blood, and his sister gave him a large amount of blood transfusions years ago. If the blood types of the two are not compatible, then a large amount of blood transfusions can directly cause the recipient to die due to rejection.

So, does this mean that Rena Mizunashi really isn't his older sister, Emi Hondo?
"Oh dear, Rena Mizunashi fainted due to anemia after receiving a blood transfusion. It was only after others quickly transfused some blood back into her body that she recovered. That was quite adorable."

"Everyone gradually came to like Rena Mizunashi because of her kind personality."

Anno said with a smile, noticing that Hondo Eisuke seemed to be thinking.

They didn't dwell on the topic, but instead asked with a puzzled expression,
"By the way, I just got back to Tokyo. Why is it so lively today?"

“I saw police cars everywhere on the street, seemingly checking for safety hazards in various buildings. I was stopped and questioned by the police several times, otherwise I should have been home by 6:30.”

Conan:?
what did you say?
A hint of doubt appeared in Conan's eyes.

Are you kidding me? Why are you going this far?
He immediately jumped off the sofa, quickly took out Rena Mizunashi's videotape, and switched the TV to the news program. At that moment, the live broadcast helicopter of Nichiri TV was reporting on the current situation in Tokyo.

"The notorious criminal organization Steel Society has returned and planted numerous bombs in Tokyo."

"Fortunately, our invincible Batman is working hard to save Tokyo. According to intelligence released by the police, Batman has directly or indirectly defused more than forty bombs, saving more than two thousand people from death."

"Look, the heroes of justice are still here... Ah, they've vanished!"

The host was just introducing the situation when the cameraman suddenly noticed a car speeding by on the street. He immediately turned the camera on it, but the black motorcycle only flashed by on the street.

Seeing this, the host said with some regret,
"As expected, accelerated synchronization can even surpass light."

"It seems we are still unable to directly film Batman's entire action. Nichiri TV will continue to follow up on this matter, so please stay tuned."

Conan:?
I should have known better than to play mahjong!

Mahjong is a killer! It made him miss out on such a big opportunity!
