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

Chapter 69 Could it be that the real scourge is Kogoro Mouri?!

Although Conan did not reveal the name of the famous detective who had returned from studying abroad.

However, just from this description, Chen En already knew who Conan was talking about.

—Without a doubt, Conan was referring to Hakuba Saguru, one of the famous high school detectives.

He serves as both the detective and the nemesis in the Magic Kaito series.

Hakuba Saguru is undoubtedly a T0-level high school detective, no less capable than Conan.

However, the reason why Hakuba Saguru would return to Tokyo at this time remains to be seen.

Chen En also had some doubts.

He remembered that Hakuba Saguru didn't appear in many shows, such as Twilight Villa and Detective Koshien.

However, he hadn't heard Conan mention anything similar, which was strange. What exactly was Hakuba Saguru's purpose in returning to Tokyo? Could this be part of the Magic Kaito storyline?
Thinking about this, Chen En couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Magic Kaito? Compared to Conan, which he had watched hundreds of episodes of, he hadn't really watched much of Magic Kaito. He only remembered that there was a character named Koizumi Akako who could actually use magic.

Was Hakuba Saguru's return to Japan solely to confront Kaito Kid? What were the specifics?
—Huh? Wait a minute, Kaito Kid has been identified as the Riddler.

That means if Kaito Kid commits a crime, it will be considered a special mission, right?

From this perspective, could it be that if he went to the scene with Hakuba Saguru to check out the situation and helped Hakuba Saguru, he could get points just like he did on the Queen Cerissa?

Although scoring points on the Queen Cerissa was not going very well, this time was different.

Chen En already has experience dealing with Phantom Thief Kid.

This time, dealing with Phantom Thief Kid is a sure thing.

However, to ensure the plan goes smoothly, he still needs to prepare a secret weapon.

For example, the legendary "Imperial Sword" or something like that.

I already have a general idea in mind.

Chen Enxuan then asked Conan about other things.

"By the way, just wondering, are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Uncle Mori, have you received any mysterious invitations to banquets, ceremonies, cocktail parties, class reunions, or other strange events? If so, let me know and I'll schedule a time to go."

Conan:?
Why do you want to go with us?

Although Uncle Mori did receive an invitation to a world-class award ceremony held at the Red Flower Seaside Hotel, the Junior Detective League did not go this time.

It seems impossible that something terrible could happen, right?

Are you crazy? Does Uncle Mori have to have a funeral wherever he goes?

Conan was just thinking to himself.

Suddenly I realized—

That seems to be true.

Thinking about it carefully, the Junior Detective League wasn't with Kogoro Mouri tonight, yet a heinous murder still occurred around him.

If we consider the fact that Miyahara Satoshi looks very similar to Kogoro Mouri and his voice sounds very similar to Kogoro Mouri...

Doesn't that mean the real scourge isn't the Detective Boys, but Kogoro Mouri?!
It has even reached the point where simply having a similar body size and voice can cause vicious murders in the surrounding area!

Conan's expression turned serious as he thought about this.

He raised his head and said earnestly.
"An invitation letter has indeed been sent to the firm."

"However, I think it's probably an investigation commission disguised as attending a meeting, just like the investigation of Phantom Thief Kid on the Queen Celisabeth before... The time is tomorrow night at seven o'clock."

"I'll let you know when the time comes... no, you might as well come with me tomorrow."

Although Chen En is indeed a strange and eccentric person.

However, it must be said that Chen En is indeed reliable in terms of combat skills and investigative abilities. If Chen En had been able to accompany the case throughout, it's highly likely that the case triggered by Kogoro Mouri's bad luck could have been solved before it even occurred, given the combination of his intelligence and Chen En's fighting prowess!
"...I have something to do tomorrow."

"In short, give me the location, and I'll arrive an hour early tomorrow to check things out."

Chen Enke has decided to talk to Kuroba Kaito tomorrow.

Furthermore, if Kogoro Mouri attends the meeting at night, it is highly likely that it is another heinous murder case in which Kogoro Mouri is to be used as an alibi, and it is estimated that Kogoro Mouri's presence will trigger the incident.

Of course, it's best to avoid it if possible.

Arriving an hour early would give him enough time to turn the hotel upside down and find the murderer's weapon.

Knives, guns, bombs.

Nothing can escape the eyes of Beika Town's Little Batman!
Chen En's words caused several question marks to slowly appear above Conan's head.

Conan:?
When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

I seem to remember you being unemployed... a freelancer? What business do you have that you need to take care of? Could it be that even the Batman of Tangtang Rice Flower Town has finally succumbed and is about to become a Sanhe God?

Thinking about it this way, the righteous hero who has to work to make a living seems a little tragic.

Conan sighed and patted Chen En's thigh.

He originally wanted to pat Chen En on the shoulder, but due to his height, he couldn't reach him, so he could only settle for patting his thigh instead.

Then, Conan said earnestly,

"Chen En, if it really doesn't work out, how about I hire you to clean the Kudo residence?"

"You can just stay at the Kudo residence then, and I'll still pay you your full salary, how about that?"

Chen En: ?
------

Conan, who had been successfully thrown out of Professor Agasa's lab, rubbed his eyes.

He muttered to himself as he yawned.

"Really, I meant well, why doesn't Chen En appreciate it?"

"They're already so miserable that they have to do odd jobs just to make ends meet, yet they still have too much pride..."

"Hmm? Have Aunt Fei and Uncle Mori finished arguing?"

We arrived at the area not far from the Mouri Detective Agency.

Conan watched with curiosity as Eri Kisaki and Kogoro Mouri walked out of the stairwell.

The couple, who have been separated for many years, still seem to be angry with each other.

Eri Kisaki looked furious, her face flushed red.

Kogoro Mouri kept looking away, pretending not to care, and seemed a little embarrassed.

I really don't know why Uncle Mori and Aunt Kisaki haven't gotten a divorce yet.

Conan stroked his chin.

The relationship between these two seems to have deteriorated significantly.

It seems like they're only maintaining their relationship because of their daughter...?
"I'll talk to Xiaolan about it later."

Conan muttered.

I saw Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki get into the car and leave.

He then leisurely strolled back to the Mori Detective Agency.

Conan stopped abruptly as soon as he entered the room.

Conan:?
Forget it, I'll just stay at Professor Agasa's house tonight.

Anyway, there's no class tomorrow!
