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

Chapter 520 If you continue like this, I'll have to retire and go back to my hometown!

"Ah-en, why are you coming in so late?"

"I was just a little lost on the road of life for a short while."

In response to Sonoko Suzuki's question, Chen En calmly replied.

Then he noticed that Suzuki Jirokichi had taken out sake and changed to a large cup, as if he wanted to fill everyone's cups, while Kyogoku Makoto and Hakuba Saguru did not seem to react much to this.

Perhaps they think that sake isn't really alcohol, and that it's okay to drink a few cups.

However, Chen En said seriously,
"Uncle, I don't drink alcohol."

"Don't drink alcohol, go to the table with the kids."

"Oh."

In the end, the waiter brought over a bottle of juice.

Chen En sat at the edge of the dining table, his gaze occasionally falling on the transport boats moving on the water. He held a glass in one hand, took a sip of juice, and then looked at Kyogoku Makoto and Hakuba Saguru, who were already slightly drunk after drinking a few glasses.

—Well, with this level of alcohol tolerance, you shouldn't be drinking.

Although it might sound a little shameful to sit at the same table with kids without drinking alcohol.

But it's still much better than forcing yourself to drink when you can't drink at all, or getting completely lost in your own world after just a few drinks and not knowing what the world is like. At least you won't get drunk and cause trouble or hit people.

Chen En made a rough estimate of how he could subdue the drunken Makoto Kyogoku within this range as quickly as possible.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing nearby, held a glass of juice in both hands and asked curiously,

"Arn, you keep glancing at the transport ship, are you waiting for your food to be served?"

"We ordered quite late, so the food will probably take a little while to arrive. If you're really hungry, I have some chocolate bars in my bag, you can have them if you're hungry."

Chen En: ?
Why do you keep chocolate bars in your bag?
Do you think this mountain temple is actually far away in the mountains, so you brought chocolate bars to quickly replenish your energy just in case? Besides, I didn't say I was hungry.

Chen En waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly realized what was going on.

When Batman waves his hand, it doesn't usually mean he doesn't want to, but rather that there's no need to say anything more.

So she took a chocolate bar out of her bag, put it directly into Chen En's free hand, and looked at him expectantly, saying,
"Ah-en, eat up, I know you're hungry."

Chen En: ?
How come I don't know I'm hungry?

Chen En reluctantly placed the glass of juice aside.

He picked up the chocolate bar, slowly tore open the packaging, and just as the large wooden transport ship carrying food passed by, he finished tearing open the packaging and shook his free hand.

A bugging device appeared silently on the side of the large transport ship.

Chen En took a big bite of a chocolate bar, touched his earphones with his free hand, adjusted the volume, and then began to concentrate on dealing with Suzuki Sonoko's offensive.

At the other table, Makoto Kyogoku and Saguru Hakuba were already feeling the effects of the alcohol and had stopped drinking.

But Suzuki Jirokichi and Goto Zengo were still drinking, seemingly inexhaustible in their drinking, which left Kyogoku Makoto and Hakuba Saguru watching in awe.

After the large wooden transport ship passed through compartment number two, it returned to the galley once more, fully loaded with cargo, and set off again.

This time, the large wooden transport ship stopped precisely at the window where Chen En was. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen En quickly moved the dishes from the deck of the large wooden ship to the dining table, while also taking the opportunity to observe the situation in the adjacent private room.

At this very moment, inside VIP room number three.

Jin Tian, ​​who was making a ruckus earlier, and the other two were drinking and eating in the private room, seemingly without any serious incident occurring. However, Chen En was certain that one of the three would become the murderer and the victim.

The system's task assignments may be unreliable in terms of timing, arriving early or late, but their accuracy is guaranteed. A heinous murder is certain to occur between the three neighbors.

He needs to determine when the heinous murder might occur and then find an opportunity to intercept it, or intercept the perpetrator immediately after the incident.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity, he sent two listening devices into the next room.

"Come on, keep drinking!"

"Liquor is the source of energy and spirit; the more you drink, the more energetic you become!"

"I can't breathe!" Suzuki Jirokichi said loudly.

The protective box containing the amber kylin was casually placed to the side, as if it were nothing more than a small trinket, which made Makoto Kyogoku smirk and think to himself how good it is to be rich.

Hakuba Saguru, who was standing next to him, also seemed to notice the box.

Although the Hakuba family is quite wealthy, they are not so rich as to buy an amber Kirin just to have a showdown with Kaito Kid, and they don't care about the Kirin at all, casually putting it aside.

"Oh dear, Mr. Suzuki, if you make me drink this again, then I, Goto Zengo, will have to retire and go back to my hometown!"

Goto Zengo waved his hand, refusing.

Although drinking more wouldn't make a difference—he could never get drunk on sake—it was still alcohol, and if he drank too much, he would still become somewhat disoriented.

Moreover, he's both a bodyguard and a driver.

As the saying goes, "Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking."

He'll drink this little bit now, and after he eats something in a while, he'll sober up and doesn't plan to drink anymore.

Upon seeing this, Jirokichi Suzuki couldn't help but sigh.

These days, it's so hard to find someone to drink with.

He'd heard that Kogoro Mouri was a heavy drinker, so he figured he'd just go and drink with him as much as he wanted and see if Kogoro's drinking ability matched his boasting.

"Ah, why are you only drinking beverages and not eating any vegetables?"

Sonoko Suzuki stared at Chen En's plate of food and asked curiously.

This scene is so familiar.

Chen En frowned, realizing he needed to make a change, so he said,
"Do not."

Then his plate was filled with many more dishes.

This made Kyogoku Makoto's gaze on him noticeably more threatening.

Upon seeing this, Chen En couldn't help but sigh.

Sometimes, things don't go according to his will.

Therefore, Chen En had no choice but to reluctantly take two big gulps.

Although he wasn't used to Japanese food.

However, something is better than nothing. He is the type of person who believes that he will not let go of food as long as it can be swallowed. The Japanese food here is not so bad that it is hard to swallow, so it does not affect his appetite.

However, just as Chen En was quickly showing off his dishes...

The voice of the peacemaker from before came through his earphones.
"Hey, Arai, I've run out of cigarettes. Could you please go buy me a pack?"

"I only smoke this brand, I don't smoke any other brands... Yeah, that's it."

—It looks like something's about to happen.
