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

Chapter 587 The Last of the Four Guardians

Screams erupted inside the dessert shop.

Other customers also noticed that the store manager was dead, and some called the police and others called 120 (emergency services).

Amidst the chaos, there was also a strange sense of order.

Such things happen far too often in Beika Town, to the point that they have developed a set of subconscious behavioral plans for dealing with them.

"This is terrifying..."

Sonoko Suzuki cautiously hid behind Chen En and asked.

"Arn, do you know who killed the shop manager? And where is the murder weapon?"

—Who killed the shop manager?
Chen En's gaze swept over the three pastry chefs who had just come to the front of the stage, and then settled on the man referred to as the young nobleman.

The young nobleman remained calm.

However, in such situations, the more normal one's expression appears, the more abnormal it seems.

The other two pastry chefs looked flustered, so why were you the only one so calm? Did you expect this all along?
If he really is the murderer, then what killed the shop manager?
Chen En felt that given the level of sophistication of the people in Beika Town, they probably wouldn't use any conventional weapons.

"The murder weapon was probably hidden inside the cake, wasn't it?"

A voice rang out.

Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko simultaneously turned their heads to look in that direction, and then a look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

This person has a very unusual appearance.

Because among the many able-bodied customers, this was the only one who appeared in their line of sight while sitting in a wheelchair.

It was an old lady.

Although Chen En had never met this old woman, he already knew her true identity.

The armchair detective, Senma Kyoudai.

This is a famous detective who only appeared in the Twilight Villa arc, and like the gourmet detective, he was killed off as soon as he appeared.

Chen En was surprised to see Senma Kazuyo here. He had assumed that Senma Kazuyo should be focused on the Twilight Villa.

What are you doing in Tokyo at this time?
"This young man."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. You must be one of the four guardians of the Kirin Horn that Mr. Suzuki mentioned?"

The armchair detective looked up.

She looked at Chen En and said this.

"As expected, although you are not well-known in Tokyo, you certainly deserve the title of one of the guardians."

"Although I am old and my observation skills are not as sharp as they used to be, I can still tell that you are no ordinary person."

"However, someone who has gained Mrs. Suzuki's approval and become the future heir of the Suzuki Group must not be an ordinary person."

—One of the four guardians who protect the Kirin Horn?

A hint of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He never expected that the last of the four guardians would be Senma Fuyuki.

Because Senma Kazuyo appears far too infrequently and doesn't inflict any significant damage on Kaito Kid, she doesn't quite live up to the title of Guardian compared to him, Hakuba Saguru, and Kyogoku Makoto.

However, since Hakuba Saguru had repeatedly emphasized to him that the last guardian was unable to arrive at the scene so quickly due to mobility issues, he was now in a difficult situation.

He should have guessed this person's true identity much earlier.

Unfortunately, he has too many things to pay attention to lately and has no time to deal with this matter.

"Ah, who is this person?"

Sonoko Suzuki, holding Chen En's arm, asked with some curiosity.

"Grandma, from what you're saying, are you a very famous detective?"

Hearing this, Chima Kazuyo smiled. She said softly.

"A famous detective?"

"I guess I count too, after all, I do have the title of Armchair Detective, which is probably my only achievement at my age."

In the world of Detective Conan, detectives actually hold a very high status.

A famous and outstanding detective can directly influence the police officers' inclination to solve cases, and in some places, the police officers even blindly follow the detectives.

The police officers in Shikoku are a prime example.

At the time, high school detective Junya Tokitsu, who was traveling in the Shikoku region, made a wrong judgment. He failed to obtain the decisive evidence but made a hasty conclusion.

Police officers in the Shikoku region blindly followed Tokitsu Junya's speculation.

Although the evidence and testimonies collected later proved that Kana Mizuguchi, who was suspected of being the murderer at the time, was not the murderer.

However, the Shikoku police repeatedly summoned Kana Mizuguchi to the police headquarters for questioning.

This caused immense psychological and public pressure, ultimately leading to Kana Mizuguchi's suicide.

Any high school detective, as long as they have a reputation, can do something like this.

As a renowned armchair detective who has long been famous in the detective industry, Senma Kazuyo holds a very high status in Tokyo and even throughout the country.

So much so that when Chima Kazuyo admitted that she was a famous detective, and combined with the fact that she was in a wheelchair, the people around her immediately guessed her true identity.

Fujino Yasuo, who had just been calm, suddenly changed his expression and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Thanks to you, buddy, you arrived at the scene quickly enough that the murderer had no chance of hiding the murder weapon outside the dessert shop."

"Next, once the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers arrive and investigate the inside and outside of the dessert shop, they should be able to find the culprit."

"Senma Kazuyo said gently."

"However, if we can't find the murder weapon this way, it can only mean that the murder weapon is hidden somewhere."

"That's exactly what I was guessing."

"If the murder weapon is hidden somewhere that will never be discovered, then I think it must be hidden inside the cake."

—Was the murder weapon hidden inside the cake?
This statement sparked much discussion among the onlookers, who couldn't understand why Senma Shigeyo could reach such a conclusion.

If the murder weapon was hidden, it could have been hidden anywhere. Why insist on saying it was hidden inside the cake?

Is there something suspicious about the cake?
Upon hearing Chima Kazuyo's words, Chen En turned to look at the three pastry chefs and calmly said.

"Please have the three pastry chefs bring out the cakes they made at noon today."

"Anyway, once the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers arrive at the scene, they will also require you to do this. In order to prevent any unnecessary accidents or friction, please take out the cake now."

Upon hearing this, Fujino Yasuo's expression changed drastically, and his usual demeanor as a noble young man vanished instantly.

This made the two pastry chefs next to him notice that something was wrong with him, and they became somewhat suspicious.

Just at this moment.

The alarm rang outside the dessert shop.

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers, known for their efficient response times, finally arrived at the scene.

Inspector Megure led the charge into the dessert shop.

He immediately spotted Chen En standing next to Suzuki Sonoko, then glanced around and noticed that Kogoro Mouri and Conan were not there, and his heart sank.

It seems that Brother Chen En's bad luck has worsened.

Next time, I'll go to some shrine and get a talisman for Brother Chen En...

"Inspector Megure, you've come at just the right time."

"All you need to do is help us investigate the situation, and this case can be solved."

Mu Mu Police Department:?
So fast?
