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

Chapter 818 Where did this Kindaichi detective come from?

"Why don't you go and read the legal articles you learned when you were a child to him again?"

Chen En asked tentatively.

I am just a little bat who doesn't understand people's hearts.

Asking me a question like that is a bit beyond my scope.

Old Bats all have various family disputes.

You're asking me how to handle this since none of my family members are married?

Ai Haibara, standing next to him, looked somewhat disappointed.

Even if she showed a disappointed expression.

Chen En remained unmoved.

Some things you just can't do.

Just like mathematics.

Even if you put all your effort into it and lose yourself in the process, you still won't be able to solve the problem.

The situation is the same here.

"Legal provisions? Uh, are they really, really effective?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo asked tentatively.

But as soon as he said it, he immediately realized how stupid his question was.

Chen En may know about what happened when he was a child.

However, Chen En obviously couldn't have known which legal provision was being referred to at the time.

After all, there are many legal provisions applicable to theft.

It's impossible for someone who isn't directly involved to know which rule it is.

Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately began to recall his experience at that time.

However, Kobayashi Sumiko returned to the conference room with a look of disappointment on her face.

Upon seeing this, Shiratori Ninzaburo subconsciously entered the conference room with the members of the Junior Detective League.

Ai Haibara tugged at Chen En's sleeve and looked up at him.

"A hero can't desert his post in the face of battle, you know?"

Chen En: ?
Heroes can suffer injustice, but you can't step on my Chelsea.

I am a little bat with an ever-changing bottom line.

Moral blackmail cannot restrain me.

So Chen En sat next to Kobayashi Sumiko, and Haibara Ai sat next to Chen En.

He eventually went into the conference room.

It wasn't because he particularly wanted to help.

It was simply because he wanted to complete the entire statement.

Well, that must be the case.

"Um, could you please listen to the third recording?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo swallowed hard.

Then, somewhat nervously, he took out the recorder for the third recording.

But before Shiratori Ninzaburo could finish speaking...

Sumiko Kobayashi spoke directly, already in low spirits.

"I don't think it's necessary, do I?"

"Officer Shiratori, you know that too, don't you?"

"The person who argued with the deceased was a woman, which means that no matter what was said in the last recording, the fact that the person was a man already means that he could not be the real murderer."

"I have fulfilled my obligation to cooperate with the investigation... Now I am leaving."

Shiratori Ninzaburo opened his mouth as if to speak.

But Kobayashi Sumiko clearly wasn't going to give him that chance.

She left just like that, resolutely.

Then it disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Shiratori Ninzaburo looked up blankly in the direction where Kobayashi Sumiko had disappeared.

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

The members of the Junior Detective Club all chased after them.

Only Ai Haibara remained in the meeting room.

Because she knew she would need to hitch a ride with Chen En to take the person back later.

We can't let Chen En run away.

Chen En simply stroked his chin, looked at Shiratori Renzaburo, and then said.

"Should I give further statements?"

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Renzaburo turned to look at Chen En.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Were you at the scene when the incident occurred?"

Chen En replied matter-of-factly.

"I'm not here."

Shiratori Ninzaburo nodded, and then said.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Chen En: ?
Did you call me over just to ask this one question?
Chen En felt somewhat speechless.

However, he really didn't have anything to ask.

But before leaving, he still spoke to Shiratori Ninzaburo.

"You can tell the suspect about the recording pen now, and about how Kobayashi Sumiko listened to it. You don't need to tell the first two, just the last one, Mr. Kodama Yanagisuke."

Kodama Ryusei?

A hint of surprise appeared in Shiratori Ninzaburo's eyes.

How can it be?

Does Chen En mean that the real culprit in this case is Kodama Ryusei?

But Kodama Ryusei isn't even a woman, so how could he be the murderer?
Is Kobayashi Sumiko's testimony wrong?
She lied?

For a moment, Shiratori Renzaburo's mind was in complete turmoil.

He quickly pressed for an answer.

Why is Kodama Yanasuke the murderer?

"Mr. Chen En, could you please tell me more?"

Before Shiratori Ninzaburo could finish speaking...

Chen En pulled a passport photo out of his pocket and tossed it directly to Shiratori Ninzaburo.

In his ID photo, Kodama Ryusuke is clearly sporting a single ponytail.

However, Shiratori Ninzaburo saw that Kodama Ryusei did not have a single ponytail.

After committing the murder at night, this person urgently cut off his long hair.

This is how she cuts ties with the murderer that Sumiko Kobayashi saw.

"Is that really the case?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo said with some disbelief.

"It's that simple."

Chen En replied, and then continued.

"Logically speaking, this level of disguise and clothing change can only fool some amateur detectives."

"Your police force clearly has more resources, how could you not even know if Kodama Yanagi had a single ponytail the night before? Forgive my bluntness, but you have seriously neglected your duties this time."

"So, regarding the plan I proposed earlier concerning Inspector Sato..."

He turned to look at Sato Miwako, who had appeared behind him at some point.

"Officer Sato, what do you think?"

"Use you as a stand-in to lure Kodama Ryusuke into committing the crime, and then apprehend him on the spot."

"Is there a problem?"

Sato Miwako touched her hair, looking somewhat bewildered.

Ah, me?

However, it's not entirely impossible.

Then she shook her head and said in surprise.

"Mr. Chen En, how did you find out I was here?"

"Did you know I just returned from closing a case this morning when you made this suggestion? Was this something you expected?"

Chen En: ?
What do you mean by "within my expectations"?

You just came back this morning after closing the case?

There's no record of you being on a mission in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's internal database?
I also couldn't find any record of you enforcing the law in Tokyo.

Chen En asked with a somewhat complicated expression.

"What did you go to investigate after leaving Tokyo?"

Shiratori Renzaburo, who was standing next to her, also turned to look at Sato Miwako.

Sato Miwako, on the other hand, said it in a very casual way.

"An alchemical murder case, huh?"

"I went with Inspector Kenmochi, but when we arrived at the scene, a detective named Kindaichi had already solved the case for us. We just went there to clean up the mess."

"However, the death toll is much higher than in typical violent incidents."

Kindaichi Detective?

A hint of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

Is he the protagonist of the Kindaichi Case Files?
This person is actually in the Conan universe?
That's strange, I've never heard of that before.
