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

Chapter 589 Twilight Villa
After Chen En suggested that Noah's Ark might need a cybernetic belt to compensate for his childhood, Noah's Ark, whose mental age is only ten, wisely fell silent.

Although the belt can't pull out artificial intelligence.

However, Chen Enzhen, who possesses electronic technology ahead of his time, can make a cyber belt and spin it like a top.

He's a super artificial intelligence! How could he be whipped into a spinning top by someone else with a belt?

So He wisely stopped navigating.

There is an old saying in the mysterious Eastern country: "Those who understand the times are heroes." He is undoubtedly one of them, without a doubt!

"Oh, really."

"Now that the manager has passed away, it seems the dessert shop can't continue operating, right? We finally found a famous brand dessert shop..."

Suzuki Sonoko sighed.

Feeling a little sad about not being able to get half-price cakes anymore, she looked at the shop assistant next to her and asked quietly.

"Excuse me, may I take some more cakes from the counter?"

Counter clerk: ?
You can still eat cake at a time like this? What else is there to say? You can have it all.

A forced smile appeared on her face, and then she spoke.

"please."

"However, our store is only operating until the end of normal business hours today. We will be closing down starting tomorrow."

"So, if you want to buy and eat cake, please do so now."

Hearing this, Chen En stroked his chin, looked at the teller, and then asked.

"excuse me."

Who inherited this dessert shop after the owner's death? Did the heir not want to run the dessert shop?

The shop assistant at the counter fell silent for a moment.

Who understands this?
She's just here to work, how could she possibly know about this? If she wanted to know this, she'd have to ask someone else who's like the manager's apprentice.
Fortunately, the staff didn't have to wait too long.

"That's what Maeda Tsuyoshi said."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the shop will be inherited by the owner's nephew, but the owner's nephew doesn't like running a dessert shop."

"So, we'll probably officially leave after the shop manager's nephew comes to take over the dessert shop. Today is the last day of the dessert shop's operation."

That's not entirely true.

Chen En said.

“I’ve looked at it. Even in this location, with the current customer traffic of the dessert shop, it’s still profitable. You don’t want to leave here, do you?”

He looked at the remaining two pastry chefs.

Maeda Tsuyoshi and Morimoto Tomomi exchanged a glance.

Although the store manager wasn't very nice to them, they had been there for more than three years and had indeed developed feelings for the place.

Therefore, the two pastry chefs nodded.

"Then please give me the store manager's nephew's phone number. I'll take care of the rest."

Chen En said this.

Tsuyoshi Maeda and Tomomi Morimoto: ?

what are you going to do?
You're not planning to get rid of the store manager's nephew, are you? No way!
"Oh My God."

"It seems that as the future heir to the Suzuki Group, you have access to more resources than I imagined."

Chima Kazuyo said with a smile.

She knew what Chen En was planning to do; he was probably going to buy the dessert shop outright.

For the Suzuki Group, a dessert shop is nothing, but Chen En is not yet the heir to the Suzuki Group.

The fact that they can mobilize such a large cash flow shows that the head of the Suzuki Group values ​​Chen En highly.

"Then you won't have to worry about it."

"Sonoko, why don't you take the cake and sit with Ai for a while? I have something to say to this old lady," Chen En said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Sonoko Suzuki's eyes.

Since it was clearly the first time Chen En and this armchair detective were meeting, what secrets could they possibly have to share?
However, trusting her boyfriend, Sonoko Suzuki didn't ask any more questions and simply went out.

Suddenly, only Chen En and Senjō Kōdai remained in the small counter area.

Chen En said.

"do you know?"

“If I were you, I wouldn’t investigate and deduce where Sonoko would go next, then go to that place to wait for people, or even jump out and show off my own house.”

—Just like Inspector Megure's surprise when he saw Kazuyo Chima in the confectionery shop.

An elderly woman, who didn't seem like the type to shop at a dessert shop, was probably too unhealthy for the cakes there.

The reason she's here is quite simple.

They probably came for Sonoko Suzuki, or perhaps for him.

In fact, it wasn't difficult to find out that Sonoko Suzuki would come to the Aikochi confectionery shop.

Just pay attention to Sonoko's habit of going to places with discounts, plus the fact that she likes desserts.

You can basically lock in this store directly.

"Oh my god, that's scary."

"Grandma, I just came to see what the little-known guardian among the four guardians looks like."

"No need to make such a fuss."

"The fact that I'm standing right in front of you now proves that I have no ill intentions towards you, doesn't it?"

As the saying goes, it's easy to block a spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

Chima Kazuyo said with a smile.

—It's easy to defend against a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark?

This proverb might work if applied to other people, but it absolutely won't work on Chen En.

Even if others don't know that Chen En is Batman, they still know that Chen En once saved Suzuki Sonoko by reacting to a sniper rifle bullet after the Cocoon Games press conference.

Are you sure you can ambush a man who can react to sniper rifle bullets?
"Is that Hakuba Saguru?"

"His relationship with you seems unusual; he has mentioned your existence to me many times."

Chen En asked.

He didn't explain why he spoke of Hakuba Saguru, because he knew that Senma Kōdai understood what he was trying to say.

In response, Senma Kōdai said.

"I am the tea ceremony teacher of White Horse Detective."

"He had received some help from me in his deductions before, so after learning that I was interested in Kaito Kid, he invited me to guard the Kirin Horn and learn more about Kaito Kid."

"Is there anything strange?"

There's actually such a relationship between Hakuba Saguru and Senma Kazuyo?
Chen En squinted.

Such information is not recorded online, and even if he had investigated Hakuba Saguru beforehand, he would not have been able to find this information.

But... forget it.

The weakness of Senma Kōdai lies in the Twilight Villa itself.

Because the Twilight Villa holds a secret that his father could not unravel even at the cost of his life, Chima Kazuyo is determined to uncover the secret of the Twilight Villa no matter what.

And Chen En happened to know this secret.

Since there are countermeasures in place, then Senma Fuyuki, the armchair detective, is not a threat.
