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

Chapter 789 What? There's another expert tonight?

Although somewhat hesitant, Kobayashi Sumiko got into Shiratori Ninzaburo's car.

Genta and Mitsuhiko sat in the back seat.

Ayumi sat in Kobayashi Sumiko's lap, being held by Kobayashi Sumiko like a pillow.

The atmosphere inside the car became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Shiratori Ninzaburo casually glanced at the nearby road conditions.

He secretly thought to himself that he would go back and beat up Officer Chiba.

The advice this guy gave him was completely wrong.

He's supposedly a pro at Galagame.

Could it be that Officer Chiba was able to get together with Officer Miike entirely because Officer Miike liked Officer Chiba from the very beginning, since their affection level was maxed out from the start, allowing them to directly enter the individual ending?

"Cough cough..."

Shiratori Ninzaburo coughed somewhat awkwardly.

It seems they're trying to find a topic to talk about.

This startled Sumiko Kobayashi, who then tightened her grip on Ayumi.

Ayumi: ?
You selfish person!
Did you even consider how I feel? I can't breathe!
"Um, Ms. Kobayashi."

"I heard that a serial killer is currently on the run near Beito Town."

"You're a girl traveling alone at night, you must be careful about your safety."

Shiratori Ninzaburo changed the subject and gave some instructions.

Hearing this, Kobayashi Sumiko paused for a moment before replying softly.

"Um, Officer Shiratori, I... I don't live in Beika Town...?"

"I usually live in Beika Town."

"I only came to Beido Town because I'm here to pick up the kids tonight."

Shiratori Renzaburo:?

Ah, this...

Shiratori Ninzaburo opened his mouth as if to speak.

But for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Even if he wanted to act like a nice guy and warn Kobayashi Sumiko about the dangerous people around her.

But when he thought of Beika Town, he couldn't speak.

Where in Beika Town are there any serial killers or anything like that who are still out at night?

Those things aren't nearly as scary as Batman, okay?
Batman wanders around Beika Town every night like a ghost.

If there were similar murderers, Batman would have already dealt them a heavy blow. How could they pose any threat to Sumiko Kobayashi?
This was the first time Shiratori Ninzaburo had ever wanted to complain about Batman's efficiency.

However, it seemed that he had noticed that Shiratori Ninzaburo was trying to find a topic to talk about.

Sumiko Kobayashi hesitated for a moment, then asked softly.

"Um... I've never spoken to any officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department before."

"I picked up the children from the crime scene today. Do I need to go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement afterwards?"

Once he entered his area of ​​expertise, Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately gained confidence and answered.

"Of course not, but the Junior Detective Club members should still give a statement."

"They just won't have any resistance to it."

"Because they go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department every few days, they've tried all the dishes in the cafeteria. At noon today, Genta even asked if the menu could be updated?"

Genta, sitting in the back seat, immediately nodded and said.

"Yes, yes, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department always serves the same few dishes."

"I've already tried all the dishes in the cafeteria, there's nothing new to try."

Kobayashi Sumiko:?
I know that your Junior Detective Club usually plays a lot of games.

I never imagined that you Junior Detectives would go to such extremes.

Are you a regular at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? To the point that you've even tried all the dishes there?
Sumiko Kobayashi then asked with some curiosity.

"Um, I've heard that Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers sometimes use excessive force when enforcing the law."

"For example, earlier at the train station, they forcibly dispersed passengers riding the red train, and even showed off their Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department badges, emphasizing that they were plainclothes officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. They were not only verbally abusive, but also physically assaulted people."

"Are they Mr. Shiratori's colleagues?"

Are Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department plainclothes officers forcibly dispersing passengers riding the red train at the train station?
Upon hearing this, Shiratori Ninzaburo was taken aback.

Then he suddenly came to his senses.

I can go to your Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department plainclothes officer.

Those were Japanese Public Security personnel acting like spies!

These damn bastards! The reputation of the Japanese Public Security Bureau has already plummeted to rock bottom, and lowering it any further wouldn't change anything, yet they still want to drag down the reputation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as well!

How am I supposed to explain this to Ms. Kobayashi?

If I were to explain this, wouldn't it involve classified information?
Shiratori Ninzaburo was at a loss for words.

He could only say it with a dark expression.

"They think they are, but I don't think they are."

“I will not acknowledge these guys who treat citizens so rudely as my colleagues.”

At this point, Kobayashi Sumiko suddenly whispered.

"By the way, Officer Shiratori."

"Since we're going to drive to the train station to take the train back to Beikacho, could you please check the situation in the alley next to Beikacho for me?"

"When I came out of Beitocho tram station, I saw two people arguing in the alley, and it looked like they were about to fight."

"I originally wanted to persuade them to prioritize peace."

"Then they both turned to look at me and told me to get out of here."

“I was in a hurry, so I came directly to the apartment to find the children and didn’t stay to check on them properly… I’m worried that something might have happened to them. Could you please check again?”

Oh, are there two people arguing in the alley?

Shiratori Ninzaburo nodded slightly.

Although this is usually the responsibility of the local police station's beat officer.

But since Mr. Kobayashi had asked him, he naturally had to help.

"No problem, leave it to me. Just give me directions."

The vehicle immediately turned around and moved in the direction indicated by Sumiko Kobayashi.

The members of the Junior Detective Club had no objections when they heard that there might be some new fun.

After all, it's rare for them to have Sumiko Kobayashi participate in their team-building activities.

If they really encounter any special events, they can use their reasoning skills to gain Ms. Kobayashi's approval!
The police car quickly arrived at the dimly lit alleyway described by Sumiko Kobayashi.

Shiratori Ninzaburo glanced at the chaotic situation inside.

He frowned slightly, then took out a flashlight.

"Please stay in the car. I'll go check on the situation and come right back."

Sumiko Kobayashi nodded nervously.

She then watched as Shiratori Renzaburo walked into the alley.

The flashlight beam illuminated the darkness.

The situation inside the alleyway immediately came into Shiratori Ninzaburo's view.

The next moment, a look of surprise appeared in Shiratori Ninzaburo's eyes.

What appeared before them was a corpse.

What? There are more experts tonight?

He couldn't help but curse inwardly.
