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

Chapter 792 White Horse Scout: Six heinous incidents in one day! Are you kidding me?
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters.

Entrance to the forensic department area.

Takagi Wataru leaned against the second-floor railing, looking somewhat dazed at the situation in the headquarters lobby.

My schedule is a bit too full today.

If I had known, he would have taken the day off with Inspector Shiratori.

Even someone made of iron couldn't withstand such constant turning.

This time, I really have to advise Mr. Chen En to go to Meiji Shrine and get a protective charm.

If he doesn't get rid of this bad luck soon, he'll have to work overtime non-stop until he dies.

Just as Takagi Wataru was inwardly complaining.

Hakuba Saguru appeared beside him without him noticing.

The son of Superintendent Hakuba glanced at Takagi Wataru's tired appearance and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Officer Takagi, what's wrong?"

You look very tired.

"Would you like to talk to Watson? It might make you feel better."

At this point, Hakuba Saguru teased the falcon perched on his shoulder.

He was referring, of course, to his animal friend, the falcon Watson.

When they were attacked in Canada.

He trusted only two people.

One of them was his butler, Shikibu Shikako.

The other is his animal friend, Watson.

What? That North American exorcist?
It's hard to say whether that thing can still be considered human.

Takagi Wataru turned his head and glanced at Watson on Hakuba Saguru's shoulder.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and teased the falcon.

Although eagles and falcons are birds of prey in the absolute sense.

If you touch it too easily, you might get a piece of flesh pecked off.

However, the falcons raised by Hakuba Tan were clearly different from ordinary falcons.

After all, he wasn't Cao Shaolin who didn't eat beef.

It's impossible to keep a falcon that will peck people randomly in a place where many people are present.

Watson is a highly trained bird of prey.

It is perfectly capable of fulfilling the tasks of a cute bird.

Therefore, in response to Takagi Wataru's touch, it simply rubbed against him gently.

This immediately improved Takagi Wataru's mood considerably.

Just as Takagi Wataru was about to ask why Hakuba Saguru was standing there instead of questioning the prisoners,

The doors to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are now open.

A familiar figure appeared in their line of sight.

It was none other than Inspector Megure, who had already finished his shift.

Inspector Megure and his officers entered the hall with rather grim expressions.

Upon seeing this, Takagi Wataru was taken aback.

How is this going?

This case has already been solved, so why is Inspector Megure still acting like this?
It's like you're not going to be able to leave work tonight and have to work overtime again.

The case is resolved, right? I can just write a report and leave work, right?

Hakuba Saguru, standing beside him, frowned slightly and asked.

"Why did Inspector Megure come back so much later than you?"

"You still need to clean up the trash bags at the Beika Cinema before heading back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Inspector Megure should have been back before you. Why did he only come back after you had almost finished the tests?"

Although Hakuba Saguru already had a guess in his mind, he didn't say it aloud.

Takagi Wataru blurted it out.

"No way, has Inspector Megure encountered another heinous murder case?"

Even Takagi Wataru, who knows Inspector Megure best, said the same thing.

Hakuba Saguru's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

His face darkened.

Six serious incidents in one day? Are you kidding me?
It's no wonder that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department always has the highest number of audits at the end of the month.

Today alone, Inspector Megure's unit has been dispatched six times.

If Inspector Megure were also a professional officer, his attendance record alone would be enough to get him promoted directly to a higher position based on his merits.

"Your department is really something..."

Hakuba Saguru paused for a moment, but did not say anything.

He said it in a low voice.

"Able people should do more work."

Wataru Takagi: ?

The capable should do more work, and so on.

When did you see our department's capabilities?

Our department's best fighter, Shiratori Ninzaburo, rarely goes out with us. Usually, when something happens, Inspector Megure calls for backup, either Kogoro Mouri, Chen En, or the Junior Detective League.

Does that mean calling for backup is a skill?

Takagi Wataru kept complaining to himself.

But it's too late to complain now.

Just as he was about to go downstairs to find Inspector Megure.

Officer Shiratori appeared at the entrance of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The situation over there immediately caught the attention of Hakuba Saguru and Takagi Wataru.

Looking at Kobayashi Sumiko, who was chatting with Officer Shiratori.

Bai Ma Tan raised an eyebrow.

Although he is not a police officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

However, she was well aware that Miwako Sato was a policewoman in the Criminal Investigation Department.

Furthermore, it is known that Miwako Sato is currently dating Wataru Takagi.

Seeing Kobayashi Sumiko and Shiratori Ninzaburo talking, he couldn't help but whisper.

"Isn't Officer Sato dating you?"

"How come she's dating Officer Shiratori now? She even changed her clothes, wore glasses, and altered her demeanor specifically for Officer Shiratori. She looks like a completely different person..."

"They're not even the same person, okay?"

Takagi Wataru couldn't help but complain.

"That's Kobayashi Sumiko, a teacher at the Third Elementary School."

"You can tell by looking at the five elementary school students following behind her."

"Those are the members of the Junior Detective League. If it were Miwako, can you imagine her making the Junior Detective League members obediently follow behind her and chatting and laughing with Shiratori Ninzaburo?"

I've only met Miwako Sato a few times, how would I know?

Hakuba Saguru shook his head slightly.

Although he didn't know what Sato Miwako's personality was like, seeing that Takagi Wataru, his official boyfriend, was so resolute, he reluctantly accepted Takagi Wataru's statement.

Then he turned to look at the five members of the Junior Detective League.

These people are familiar faces.

Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Haihara Ai, and Chen En.

Yes, a classic group of five elementary school students.

Hakuba Tan nodded slightly, preparing to go back and continue questioning the members of the transnational antiquities forgery group.

Then he suddenly turned around and looked at the group of five.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

What five elementary school students?
Are those kids following behind elementary school students?
You're only 8 years old and already taller than me, right? Don't you want to laugh when you say that?
Why did Chen En come along with the members of the Junior Detective Club?

Is he also an indispensable member of the Junior Detective League?
Normally, shouldn't it be Conan Edogawa, the shrunken version of the famous detective Shinichi Kudo, who comes with them?
Is it right for Chen En to come along?

"...This world is a bit too crazy."

Hakuba Saguru hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Forget it. I don't care."

"Officer Takagi, you should go find Inspector Megure and the others to find out what happened."

"Otherwise, I think you might have to work overtime tonight."

I was originally going to laugh at Hakuba Saguru's reaction.

Takagi Wataru had a grin on his face.

Upon hearing Hakuba Saguru's words, his giggles instantly turned into no giggles.

You're right, I'll be working overtime again tonight.

When will this shift end?
