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

Chapter 586 Classic Detective Conan: One of Three Options
"Ai, why have you only eaten so little? Is something on your mind? Do you want me to share half of my plate with you?"

At an outdoor table outside a dessert shop.

Looking at the meager amount of cake on Ai Haibara's plate, Sonoko Suzuki asked with concern.

Hearing this, Ai Haibara subtly moved a little closer to Chen En and then replied.

"I don't really like desserts."

I still like it.

But if Sonoko Suzuki eats desserts this way, she bets she'll get cavities tomorrow after she finishes eating them all day.

so horrible.

Are these dessert-loving aliens from another planet? How can they devour desserts so quickly? This is already the second plate!
—However, Chen En didn't react much. Is he really worthy of being Batman?
Ai Haibara quietly observed Chen En's situation.

The Night Knight of Beika Town showed off the cake that Sonoko Suzuki had stacked on his head without batting an eye, seemingly unaffected by its sweetness.

Her appearance filled her with awe.

His posture is just like that of Niou, who stands firm on the battlefield!
In fact, Chen En was also a little overwhelmed by so many desserts.

However, he maintained his mindset of not wasting food and still tried to finish off the dessert.

Although Chen En's dietary standards mean he generally doesn't find anything unpalatable as long as it's edible, such a large quantity of desserts is simply hard to accept.

However, it's still a bit better than West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce.

"Wow, this guy is amazing to show off so many desserts all by himself..."

At the next table, Akako Koizumi was quietly observing the situation; her plate was already quite full of cake.

To be honest, it got a bit greasy after eating so much.

She's even considering leaving the plate here and running away, but the cake is so delicious that she's reluctant to leave it.

I really want to know how Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko managed to devour so many cakes at once without getting tired of them.

"Okay, the second round is done too!"

"Ah-en, are you almost finished with yours? Let me get you some more!"

Sonoko Suzuki cheered softly.

Chen En wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He just watched silently as Suzuki Sonoko took her plate to the counter to buy supplies.

In that instant, Chen En realized that he was very likely to become the first Batman in history with cavities.

"With great power comes great responsibility."

Chen En crossed his hands, rested his chin on them, and said in a low voice, looking just like Gendo Ikari from Eva.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara retorted.

"What? Is that something you should be saying?"

"Although Spider-Man, like Batman, is an orphan, that doesn't mean you can use Spider-Man's famous lines, does it?"

Chen En: ?
why not?
Some Batmen have even traveled back in time to become Spider-Man, which shows that Batman and Spider-Man were originally from the same family.

Chen Enzheng wanted to say something.

Then, he suddenly fell silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

The system light curtain has appeared.

The security mission has been triggered after Sonoko Suzuki entered the confectionery shop —

Sonoko Suzuki has already made contact with one of the perpetrators or victims in the next case; he should be on duty now.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

The system light screen disappeared from view.

Seeing Chen En's expression change instantly, switching to a battle-ready expression, Ai Haibara immediately realized something was wrong and asked.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" "Is Tokyo going to explode again? Or has the Black Organization reappeared in Tokyo?"

In response, Chen En simply stood up.

He said.

"A heinous murder is about to be triggered."

------

At this moment.

Inside the Aikolicho Dessert Shop, Sonoko Suzuki was taking two plates and starting to devour the cakes on the counter.

She glanced at the store manager, who was talking to someone behind the counter, but didn't care.

Honestly, this kind of plot involving a conflict between a dessert shop manager and his chefs is quite something.

In our Beika Town, such incidents are quite common, but very few escalate into serious murders.

They shouldn't be that unlucky as to encounter a heinous murder on a random day when they come out for dessert.

After filling her dessert table, Sonoko Suzuki turned around to return to her original table, humming a song, but was startled by Chen En, who suddenly appeared in front of her.

She was so startled she almost dropped her plate, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes.

"Ah, Ah-en, when did you arrive? I didn't hear your footsteps."

Chen En: ?
From the moment we first met before chapter 560, you could no longer recognize my footsteps.

Chen En didn't say much. He glanced around the dessert shop and noticed that there were far fewer customers than before.

It is lunchtime.

Not everyone is like Sonoko Suzuki, who can enjoy desserts as a main course; many customers have left the dessert shop to find other main courses.

The pastry chefs' workshops, which were originally open, now have their curtains drawn, making it impossible to see what's going on inside.

"Sonoko, did you see anyone else appear in your line of sight just now?"

Chen En asked.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki blinked and then replied.

"Should it be...the store manager?"

“I recognize him, and it seems like he’s the only one who just entered the dessert shop.”

—The manager of the dessert shop?

Chen En's gaze swept over the portrait of the dessert shop owner, whose name was written on it.

Sachiko Hashigaki.

He looked toward the cashier counter that connected directly to the back door, and then walked straight toward it.

At the same time, one of the pastry chefs, Takeya Maeda, came out from backstage and immediately saw Sachiko Hashigaki lying on the ground.

A look of shock immediately appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, Chen En appeared next to Maeda Tsuyoshi, his gaze falling on Hashigaki Sachiko.

The owner of the dessert shop has died.

The person who made the move was quite decisive, using a blunt object to strike the back of the head, killing the victim instantly.

Therefore, there are clearly only three suspects, namely the three pastry chefs who have free access to the back door.

Tsuyoshi Maeda, Tomomi Morimoto, Yasuo Fujino.

A choice of three with a very Detective Conan-esque style.

Chen En took out his phone and dialed Inspector Megure's number. He was about to use the Bat-Light to summon Inspector Gordon to the scene to handle the case.

Suzuki Sonoko, who then came to Chen En's side, was also startled by the situation.

—Wow, someone actually died?!
