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

Chapter 61 With a friend like you, who needs enemies?

After the little incident caused by Chen En and Conan.

The two members of the TWO-MIX duo have finally completed their final preparations before the performance.

They changed into their respective costumes, came out from backstage, and greeted Chen En and Conan.

Takayama Minami said with a smile,

"Would Mr. Chen En and Conan like to come up on stage with us?"

"I believe everyone will welcome it!"

Chen En: ?
Didn't you hear Conan's mysterious singing style just now?
Chen En immediately refused, grabbed Conan by the back of his collar who was eager to try, and prepared to leave first.

However, they saw Chen En and Conan preparing to leave.

Shiina Nagano quickly said.

"There are seats reserved for staff in the front row. Mr. Chen En and Conan can go there to watch."

"Isn't it much better to watch it there than in the control room?"

—That's true.

This time, Chen En did not refuse.

The concert ticket he had with him was likely to be for a seat he couldn't get to now.

After all, although Sonoko Suzuki booked a seat near the front, it wasn't in the first row.

Chen En had no intention of gambling that the ordinary citizens of Beika Town might be so angry that he was blocking their view of the stage that they would wait for him at the exit of the Tokyo Budokan and commit a crime of passion.

Although the possibility of this is so low as to be nonexistent in normal cities.

But this is Beika Town, and the citizens of Beika Town have always had an unusual way of thinking. No one knows what kind of morally reprehensible motives they might have for committing such physically unacceptable acts of murder.

When they carried Conan from backstage to the dark area below the stage.

Chen En finally released his grip on Conan's collar.

He glanced at the front row seats of the Tokyo Budokan. The control room staff who had seen him earlier were waving at him from that spot. Chen En nodded slightly and immediately walked over.

—These seats, reserved specifically for staff, were quite secluded and empty of other audience members.

But being remote is a good thing; few people will notice what's going on here.

Chen En also took the opportunity to ask Conan how things were going with Miyano Akemi and the Yotsubishi Bank.

Although he already knew the specifics thanks to the locator Conan placed under Miyano Akemi's car.

Seeing that Chen En didn't seem to intend to pay attention to him, he went straight to his seat.

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly, attempting to activate his Spinosaurus form.

However, after carefully considering his near-annihilation attempt with coins today, he abandoned this dangerous move.

I chose to be angry rather than frustrated.

------

Sonoko Suzuki, who had been watching the mysterious caped figure on stage, immediately noticed Conan and Chen En.

—To be precise, they noticed Conan.

Conan's blue suit stood out even in the dark.

Only by looking ahead from Conan can you see Chen En, wearing a cape, moving to another location.

"I... I knew it! That mysterious cloaked man was Chen En!"

Sonoko Suzuki patted Ran Mouri on the shoulder with a little excitement.

This caused Ran Mouri's attention to shift from Minami Takayama and Shiina Nagano on stage to Chen En.

However, it is different from the garden.

Ran Mouri's main focus is on Conan.

She muttered to herself.

"That's strange. Didn't Conan say he was going out with his friends today?"

"How did you end up appearing at the Tokyo Budokan performance with Mr. Chen En?"

Ran Mouri felt that something was not quite right.

Just like how she felt when she was on the Queen Cerissa.

It seems I've missed an entire episode again.

Sonoko Suzuki, oblivious to what Ran Mouri was thinking, leaned close to Ran's cheek and whispered...

"Shall we go check it out during halftime?"

have a look……?
Ran Mouri hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She also wanted to ask Conan why he was there.

------

"Chen En, there's actually a question I've always wanted to ask you."

Sitting in the seat reserved for him by the staff, Conan looked up and stared at Chen En with suspicion.

He asked,
How did you know I was in that abandoned warehouse?

"If it was about using the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's traffic surveillance cameras, then the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department should have arrived before you. Why did you report your location to Inspector Megure after you arrived?"

Conan has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

However, his train of thought had been constantly interrupted by Inspector Megure, and Chen En had just kicked the microphone away on stage.

His intellect has finally regained its dominance.

Seeing that no one else was around, Conan immediately asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Did you find my location using Professor Agasa's tracking glasses?"

"But this doesn't make sense, does it? The tracking glasses are supposed to lock onto the locator inside the detective patch, but my detective patch was crushed by that robber and it no longer has a tracking function."

The more Conan asked, the more suspicious he became.

He stared at Chen En for a moment.

He asked again,

"What's going on?"

In response, Batman from Beika Town pulled out a cup of coffee from somewhere.

He took a sip and immediately felt his mental state return to its peak.

Then, Chen En said with certainty,

"Because, I'm batman!"

Conan:?
Can you please stop holding that lousy coffee cup and saying "because you're Batman" every time we ask you a question?
Conan bounced off the chair like a spring.

He subconsciously groped his clothes and finally felt something with an odd texture on the collar.

Then, Conan removed the GPS tracker from his collar.

He looked at the locator in his hand, the same one he had stuck on Miyano Akemi's car.

Conan fell silent.

—When was this posted?
Why didn't he notice at all? Was it early this morning? Or yesterday afternoon?

"This is necessary protection for you."

Chen En placed his hand on Conan's head with a self-righteous air, looking at Conan with the expression of an old man with a white beard looking at his son.

Conan simply tilted his head and shook off Chen En's hand.

A cold glint flashed in his non-prescription glasses.

Immediately, Conan activated his Spinosaurus form!
Heavenly Rank Combat Skill: Hah!

"Don't let me find you've put a tracking device on me again!"

"Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of trouble!"

Conan said angrily.

He finally understood why Luthor uttered that classic line in the comics.

With a friend like you, who needs enemies?

He's got some ulterior motives, and he uses them all on his teammates!

However, Chen En simply smiled and let it go.

What adult would get angry with a child?

You were able to find it this time because I stuck the locator under your collar. What if I sewed it inside your blue suit next time? Wouldn't you be furious? Are you going to tear open your clothes every morning to search for it before sewing it back on?
Seeing that Chen En showed no sign of apologizing.

Conan fumed for a long time, but finally he behaved himself.

He sighed and sat back down in his chair.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that he had installed a locator in the detective armband of every member of the Junior Detective League.

It seems I have no right to be angry with Chen Enha.

Just as Conan was reflecting, Chen En finally got to the point and asked,

"By the way, how's Akemi Miyano doing?"
