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

Chapter 719 Conan Wants to Quit the Detective Boys

Paul and Anne's animal show.

As a legendary animal show that has toured all over the world, even at Beikacho Station in Japan, the number of people watching the show is no less than that.

It was as if they were using the animal show to escape the pervasive and heinous murders in this crime-ridden city.

"I must say, this person is quite talented for specifically choosing Beikacho area out of the many areas in Tokyo for an animal show performance."

I sat in a seat near the front.

As always, Chen En held his cup of coffee, which was meant to keep him alert, and watched the performance in front of him.

He made a casual comment.

"Feel……"

"It's not as good as the performance by the Flying Grayson Circus."

Conan, sitting next to him: ?

What flying Grayson?
Why don't you mention The Flying Dutchman? Is that a real-life circus?

It doesn't even exist in the comics anymore, okay?

Conan's face darkened.

The so-called Flying Grayson Circus refers to the circus from which the original Robin Dick Grayson came from in the comics.

The circus naturally disbanded.

Otherwise, Dick probably wouldn't meet the basic standards for a Bat-type superhero...

It doesn't mean that both his parents died, although they did. It refers to a dark background, such as the death of relatives due to a conspiracy.

"Having said that."

"I remember that in the comics, people kept pets in the Batcave, right? Why didn't you keep any pets in your replica of the Batcave?"

Ai Haibara, who was sitting next to her, turned her head and asked.

Just like Superman's dog, Little Krypton, Batman naturally has a corresponding Bat-like pet hero at home.

That was a dog named Titus.

"You're making it sound like I have an illegitimate child."

Chen En answered directly.

The bat family's pet dog was the fourth Robin, adopted by Damian Wayne.

He has no illegitimate children.

Therefore, it's impossible for there to be a pet dog in the bat cave. Suzuki Jirokichi must have considered this as well.

Otherwise, how could Uncle Suzuki have forgotten the bat dog, since he even recreated the mechanical dinosaur?

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"These animal performances are incredibly difficult; they're the most spectacular I've ever seen in any circus!"

The members of the Junior Detective League cheered.

Professor Agasa's attention had also completely shifted to the animal performance on stage.

He didn't seem much more composed than the members of the Junior Detective League.

The only thing that might suggest Professor Agasa's composure is his distinctive, consistently receding hairline.

This hairstyle is still quite authoritative.

Generally speaking, it carries a particularly authoritative connotation when it appears on the foreheads of researchers or doctors.

on the stage.

The white lion Leon, the heart of the circus, came onto the stage under the guidance of its trainer, its gaze fixed on the ring of fire.

The background musicians who were providing accompaniment immediately changed the piece to another song.

The atmosphere in the entire circus area instantly became serious, making it hard to breathe.

The members of the Junior Detective Club nearby tensed up, staring intently at the white lion and the ring of fire above, barely daring to breathe.

Even Professor Agasa, Conan, and Ai Haibara's gazes were drawn to the white lion. After all, the fear of fire is an animal's instinct.

Moreover, jumping through hoops of fire is inherently dangerous for animals, and they were worried that the white lion might get injured as a result.

Only Chen En remained calm and composed, holding his coffee, seemingly unaffected by the background music.

His appearance surprised the beautiful animal trainer on stage, who then cracked her whip and gave him a command.

The white lion lowered its body.

The next moment, guided by the animal trainer, it leaped forward swiftly, then gracefully passed through the ring of fire and landed on the ground with elegant movements.

There wasn't a single trace of fire burning on its fur, which complemented its all-white coat.

This makes the white lion appear even more majestic and extraordinary.

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, with countless spectators enthusiastically applauding the White Lion's performance.

The same goes for the members of the Junior Detective League.

Conan also joined in the segment, happily applauding the White Lion's performance. On the other hand, Ai Haibara recovered from the atmosphere and looked at Chen En with some strangeness.

Don't you like watching performances?

In response, Chen En simply took a sip of his coffee.

His gaze fell on the white lion and the beautiful female animal trainer beside it, and he replied.

"...You could say that."

"I'm not particularly interested in animal performances, but it's still necessary to come here to prevent serious murders."

Conan, who had just been clapping, suddenly turned to look at Chen En, his eyes showing a hint of disapproval.

Conan:?
What do you mean?
What do you mean by preventing heinous murders? It's as if a heinous murder is guaranteed to happen just because I'm here…

Conan's gaze was unfriendly.

He had already figured out the killing patterns in this city.

That is, a heinous murder will occur when any two of Chen En, Kogoro Mouri, and the Junior Detective League come into contact.

From this perspective...

If it were just him and the Detective Boys accompanying Professor Agasa, there shouldn't have been any serious murders.

It was Chen En's arrival that triggered that strange chemical reaction, leading to the heinous murder.

If a heinous murder has indeed occurred here, then the problem lies not with him, but with Chen Encai! That's it!

But think of this.

Conan suddenly came to his senses.

He had this idea a long time ago.

Because this pattern of killings always proceeded as he predicted, and Chen En and Ai Haibara both seemed to believe that his presence was one of the reasons for the increased frequency of heinous murders.

However, he believes that any member of the Junior Detective League would increase the probability of a serious murder occurring if they were present.

So he had already considered whether or not to temporarily leave the Junior Detective Club before that.

If he leaves the Junior Detective Club and spends some time alone to see if any serious murders occur around him, he can find out whether the triggering factor was him or the Junior Detective Club.

Perhaps now is a good time...

Conan stroked his chin.

His gaze fell on Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi as he pondered how to explain this to the other members of the Junior Detective League.

If I were to directly state that the Junior Detective League might cause a serious murder, and therefore I'm leaving the Junior Detective League to verify this...

Isn't that a bit too hurtful?

It would be more effective to suddenly appear in their sight during a rainy day and then say that I'm here to quit the Junior Detective Club.
"This performance was absolutely fantastic!"

A Japanese voice with a British accent rang out from not far away, attracting Conan's attention.
