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

Chapter 817 What? So Kobayashi Sumiko was Sato Miwako's meal replacement?
"Are you saying that having Ms. Kobayashi lure out the murderer is a bit too much?"

Chen En touched his chin.

He noticed that the members of the Junior Detective Club, as expected, disobeyed orders and came out to look for them.

However, by the time those people came looking for them, they had already finished talking.

Then Chen En continued.

"What if Officer Sato were to take his place?"

“Officer Sato is not an ordinary citizen, and he is courageous, skilled, and I am here to support him.”

"If we send Officer Sato, Inspector Megure won't have anything to say, right?"

Hearing that Officer Sato should take his place.

Shiratori Ninzaburo's face turned green.

He quickly waved his hand in front of him, signaling Chen En to stop talking.

If Chen En continues to say that, he might not be able to leave the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department alive.

He looked around and found that there were no other police officers nearby.

Then he quickly whispered.

"When Inspector Megure returned last night, he told his colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Department."

"I see Officer Sato as a substitute for Ms. Kobayashi's pursuit."

"The officers in the Criminal Investigation Department are now itching to kill me."

"If I were to say to Inspector Megure again that I want Officer Sato to be Ms. Kobayashi's stand-in in order to lure out the murderer..."

"Wouldn't the others tear me apart alive?"

Chen En: ?
So why do you keep spouting so much sentimentality every day?
You've been pursuing Officer Sato for three years and never even thought to ask her if she knew how to fold cherry blossoms.

If you had asked earlier, or hadn't been so eager, you wouldn't be the one getting chopped up now.

Aren't you just asking for trouble?
Chen En was speechless at Shiratori Renzaburo's words.

Since you've already said that, what else is there to say?

Or should I put on a disguise mask and go myself?

It is not impossible.

But this time it's to bring you and Ms. Kobayashi together.

Otherwise, I would have just taken care of him last night and thrown him into a mental hospital, and that would have been the end of it.

What are you doing, going around in circles like that?

While Chen En and Shiratori Renzaburo were still troubled by this matter.

Genta and Mitsuhiko's voices came through.

"T-Teacher, what's wrong?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo: !

There was no time to talk to Chen En about anything else.

He quickly turned around and went back into the corridor, looking towards the direction from which the sound came.

Then I saw Kobayashi Sumiko slumped on the ground.

She seemed very sad.

Shiratori Renzaburo:?

What happened?
Chen En, who was standing next to him, also came out.

His gaze fell on Kobayashi Sumiko.

A hint of doubt also appeared in his eyes.

What is going on here?
Is someone psychologically attacking Sumiko Kobayashi at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?

Was it done by that exorcist?

The moment I saw that exorcist with the North American accent, I knew he had ulterior motives.

This inherently evil exorcist, I'll personally...

Ai Haibara came to Chen En's side.

Then she tugged at Chen En's sleeve, signaling him to bend down, before standing on tiptoe and whispering in his ear.

"Ms. Kobayashi thought she was Officer Sato's substitute meal."

Chen En: ?
What the hell?
Do regular meals think they are meal replacements?

You guys have figured out the truth about meal replacement literature: meal replacements can't be eaten as a meal!

Chen En was truly speechless.

I'm a little bat with not very high emotional intelligence.

How am I supposed to understand what you're saying?
------

Let's go back three minutes.

Sumiko Kobayashi just came out of the bathroom.

She still felt a bit like she was in a dream about Shiratori Ninzaburo finding a reason to get close to her, because she thought she was just an ordinary elementary school teacher and, under normal circumstances, would not have any connection with Officer Shiratori.

However, since Shiratori Ninzaburo seems to want to date her.

So, she clearly had the idea of ​​giving it a try. But just as she was starting to have thoughts about it...

Footsteps came from the adjacent corridor.

They are two police officers talking.

These two officers were not on duty with Inspector Megure and his team yesterday.

Therefore, we are now discussing a new topic brought up by Inspector Megure.

"Does that elementary school teacher named Kobayashi Sumiko really look a lot like Officer Sato?"

"Inspector Megure said they look exactly alike."

"Damn it, that kid Shiratori is really lucky."

"Officer Sato just started dating Officer Takagi, and he said that Officer Sato wasn't his true love, just a substitute, and then he immediately found a girlfriend, Sumiko Kobayashi, who looks a lot like Officer Sato..."

"Alas, the world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be."

"Next time Shiratori treats us, I'll definitely make him treat me to a proper meal."

"Otherwise, we would suffer a huge loss."

I overheard the conversation between the two police officers.

Sumiko Kobayashi, who was initially excited, gradually turned pale.

She suddenly realized that she might just be a substitute for Sato Miwako.

Shiratori Ninzaburo is in love with Officer Sato Miwako, who looks a lot like him.

This only happened after Officer Miwako Sato started dating another officer, Wataru Takagi.

He was forced to choose her as his girlfriend because she looked exactly like Officer Sato.

And they even made up such a story...

Ayumi and Ai Haibara also came out of the bathroom.

The two were originally talking about school.

Upon seeing Kobayashi Sumiko's expression, which had burned out and left only lifeless ashes, I was struck by her expression.

I was completely stunned for a moment.

what happened?

They were only a dozen seconds late, how did things turn out like this?
Ai Haibara came to Sumiko Kobayashi's side.

He asked in a low voice what had happened.

But Kobayashi Sumiko was so distraught that she didn't want to answer at all.

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but frown.

Just as Ai Haibara was pondering what had happened.

Then footsteps came from the side.

This time it was a familiar voice.

"Please, have mercy on me, please stop chasing me."

"Even though I'm dating Officer Sato, does that mean he has to treat me like this?"

Takagi Wataru ran past, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

A group of criminal investigation officers immediately followed closely behind.

"Damn it, Officer Sato is the only female officer in our Criminal Investigation Department!"

"You've only been in the Criminal Investigation Department for less than a year and you've already tricked Officer Sato away. How could you do this to us?!"

"You better stand still, I'm going to correct you!"

He watched as numerous criminal investigation officers ran past.

Ai Haibara paused for a moment.

Then he turned to look at Kobayashi Sumiko and asked softly.

"Someone said you're Officer Sato's substitute, is that true?"

Kobayashi Sumiko was even more heartbroken.

Ayumi, who was standing next to her, blinked.

Then, with some doubt, he asked.

What is a meal replacement?

"So, Ms. Kobayashi is Officer Sato's meal replacement?"

"Then why is Ms. Kobayashi so sad?"

Is being a meal replacement really such a sad thing?

Ayumi, standing next to him, kept finishing off the attackers without stopping.

For a moment, Kobayashi Sumiko didn't know what to say.

Haiyuan sighed.

Seeing Genta and Mitsuhiko emerge from the conference room and notice the situation, and then seeing Chen En and Shiratori Renzaburo appear at the end of the corridor, he shook his head.

In this situation, you should ask the invincible Batman.
