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

Chapter 720 Woody Hawke
Conan's gaze fell on the person with a distinct accent, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He felt this person was a little...

how to say?

It gives off a strange feeling, but it also looks inexplicably familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before.

Although to most locals, foreigners all look basically the same, especially those with fair skin.

However, he has actually trained abroad and it's impossible for him to have face blindness when it comes to foreigners.

Conan stroked his chin.

He was certain that he must have seen this foreigner somewhere, or someone else whose face resembled this foreigner quite a bit.

Otherwise, this feeling wouldn't occur...

"Conan, the show's almost over!"

Ayumi's voice rang out.

The youngest girl in the juvenile detective group shook his hand with a smile, drawing his attention back to the stage.

Just as Ayumi said.

Paul and Anne's animal show came to a close after the grand finale performance of the white lion Lyon jumping through a ring of fire, followed by a panda show.

All the staff members stood neatly on the stage, bowing and thanking the audience.

The audience responded with thunderous applause, bringing the animal show to a perfect close.

Subsequently, many audience members began to leave.

Conan subconsciously turned his head to look at where the foreigner had been, wanting to see which direction the foreigner had gone.

But the person had already disappeared into the dense crowd and left the animal show.

Seeing this, Conan sighed.

Although elementary school students' bodies are sometimes very convenient, they can be quite troublesome in situations like this.

Height is a serious problem.

If he were still the famous detective Shinichi Kudo, his height would have allowed him to see where that foreigner had gone.

However, given Conan Edogawa's height, he could only see the clothes of a group of people, not the people themselves.

"This trip was truly worthwhile."

Dr. Agasa remarked with a sigh.

Watching the animal show was definitely worth it; you wouldn't easily see such rare animal performances anywhere else.

The other members of the Junior Detective Club packed up their belongings and then stood up to leave.

Ayumi, who had been watching Conan closely, noticed Conan's gaze and looked over, but saw nothing. So she asked him with some concern.

"Conan, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you feeling unwell? Or did you see something strange?"

Hearing this, Conan snapped out of his daze.

He quickly shook his head and replied.

"No, no, no, there's nothing there."

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze had already fallen on Chen En beside him.

He was certain that if even he could find the problem, then the Night Knight of Beika Town would certainly be able to as well.

Although I hate to admit it.

But Conan has to admit that...

Chen En's perception and combat abilities are probably superior to his!
If Ai Haibara, who was standing next to him, knew this, she would definitely criticize him for telling her something that no one else knew.

However, Chen En remained calm, even holding his broken coffee cup, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.

This sight is truly poignant.

Could Batman have drunk coffee after a long time and gone mad? What's that called?
Is it caffeine poisoning?

Conan thought to himself. He used to really enjoy drinking coffee, but he rarely drank it after becoming a primary school student.

Mainly because he was at the Mouri Detective Agency, he couldn't hide the fact that he was preparing coffee from Kogoro Mouri and Ran, so he gradually gave up the habit.

Seeing Chen En looking like he's suffering from caffeine poisoning, I suddenly felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, he gave up the habit of drinking coffee, otherwise he might have ended up like Chen En, carrying a broken coffee cup everywhere he went when he became an adult.

His title might change from the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era to the coffee fanatic of the Heisei era...

"I'm hungry."

Ai Haibara looked up at Chen En and said in a calm tone, not at all like she was saying she was hungry, but rather quite self-righteous.

In response, Chen En simply ran her hand through her hair and then spoke directly.

"Professor Agasa, members of the Detective Boys, it's my treat. Let's go to a nearby restaurant for dinner."

He's a man with money to burn.

These small wishes can be easily fulfilled, but speaking of which, it seems that Professor Agasa hasn't asked for a salary yet...

Maybe I should mention it to him later.

After all, there was the Bat computer as a reference, and Professor Agasa was in charge of the design, while Yuji Isehara, who was in prison, helped to create the system and operating environment.

The smartphone project has already begun.

At that time, how can it be justified that Dr. Agasa, as the technical director of Chen En Enterprise, has never even received a salary? Wouldn't that be too disrespectful to him?

The members of the Junior Detective Club cheered and surrounded Chen En as they walked outside.

As soon as they left the magic venue, reporters with their cameras and microphones appeared in the distance, surrounding them.

This is a very special case.

Generally speaking, it's rare for someone to be surrounded by reporters like this in Tokyo, unless they're a recent hot topic or Batman.

Today it is today.

No reporter has been able to interview Batman yet.

This regrettable fact has led many newspaper editors to lament why their newspapers don't have a single bespectacled, farmer-born young man.

"Are there any trending figures among them?"

"Is it Yoko Okino? Ryusuke Higo? Or Kamen Rider?"

The members of the Junior Detective Club chattered amongst themselves, their gazes fixed on the person surrounded by layers of reporters.

Conan, who was standing next to him, stroked his chin.

For some reason, he had a premonition that the person now surrounded by reporters was probably the same person he had seen in the circus.

That person who looks somewhat familiar...

"No, no, that's not right."

Professor Agasa, taking advantage of his height, immediately spotted the person surrounded by reporters and retorted.

"That person looks like..."

"Randy Hawke, right?"

Ai Haibara said calmly.

She pulled out a brochure for an animal show from somewhere, then unfolded it to reveal a photo inside.

That's the key figure in the animal show.

Randy Hawke, a super-rich man who single-handedly puts on animal shows.

...So you did plan ahead, didn't you? Why didn't you warn me about the animal show today? Are you still holding a grudge?
Conan stared at Ai Haibara.

He watched for a while and then realized that Ai Haibara didn't seem to be under any psychological pressure.

So, he sighed, shook his head, and said...

"No, that person could absolutely not be Woody Hawke, because..."
