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

Yukiko Kudo had already forwarded the photos to Yusaku Kudo and Ran Mouri.

Suddenly, Conan felt like the sky had fallen.

How can he continue being a famous detective if things continue like this?

However, it was Ai Haibara's voice that delivered the final blow to Conan.

"It's alright, it suits you perfectly, Detective."

Conan: ?

Why would you say such malicious things?

Malicious comments are truly hurtful!

Beep beep beep beep beep.

The phone beeped with an incoming message notification.

Chen En took his phone out of his pocket and saw a message from Sonoko Suzuki.

【Ah-en, I went shopping with Xiao-lan today.】

Let's hang out again tomorrow!

[Sender: Sonoko Suzuki]

shopping mall……?

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

So Ran Mouri went shopping and strolling around with Sonoko.

No wonder Conan has been staying here all day.

So it turns out Ran Mouri went shopping, and he couldn't go with her.

Thinking of this, Chen En patted Conan's head with pity and sighed.

"Oh, Robin, it will be alright."

Conan: ?

What are you talking about?

Why are you making it sound like I've experienced some major upheaval? It can't be that bad, can it?

Conan slapped Chen En's hand away.

He pushed up his non-prescription glasses, the lenses gleaming with a white light that was physically impossible.

Generally speaking

He's pushing up his glasses like that because he's going to someone's house to film an episode.

However, Chen En wasn't buying it.

Chen En has no family in this world, so why would they target him personally?

If that's the case, then thank goodness.

He really wants to try what it's like to earn points while lying down.

Just as Chen En loaded all the props that Ai Haibara would need into the car and was preparing to return home.

A system light screen suddenly popped up in front of him.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

We've been dispatched for a security mission.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level: Medium. Completing this task will reward you with 50 points!]

Generally speaking

Security missions can only be triggered by contact with someone connected to Chen En.

As for what constitutes a connection.

Chen En has never tried it.

However, one thing is certain: Conan definitely belongs to this group of people.

Because Conan has triggered security missions more than once when he gets involved in cases, but this particular security mission obviously couldn't have been triggered by Conan's appearance.

It's unlikely that it was triggered within a certain range nearby.

Chen En quickly scanned through all the people in his memory.

Then, he focused his attention on Sonoko Suzuki and Kogoro Mouri.

Only these two related individuals are not around.

This is due to the fact that the probability of triggering cases increases when Sonoko Suzuki is around Ran Mouri.

Chen En is inclined to believe that the mission was triggered by Sonoko Suzuki.

Then, what he needs to do is very simple.

Ai Haibara, sitting in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt.

Then she watched in astonishment as Chen En pulled out a string of trackers from a hidden compartment in the bat belt in a way that defied the laws of physics, and accurately pulled out one of them to examine it.

"Oh, I understand."

Chen En nodded slightly, confirming Suzuki Sonoko's location.

Then, he put the tracker back into the hidden compartment, patted Ai Haibara's head slightly, and said,

"Just asking beforehand, do you get carsick?"

Ai Haibara: ?

Batman, what are you doing!

The vehicle vanished from the entrance of Dr. Agasa's research institute in an instant.

Conan, who had been held like a doll in Yukiko Kudo's arms, watched Chen En's car drive away, feeling slightly relieved.

Thank goodness, thank goodness. If I were on this bus, I'd rather stay here and be a toy for my mom.

Chapter 164 Sheriff Gordon Finally Gets a Chance to Use the Bat-Lamp

"Waaah!"

Kogoro Mouri was thrown to the ground with a whoosh, staring at the sky, beginning to question the meaning of life.

Officer Sato Miwako, standing nearby, covered her mouth in fright, speechless.

Oh no, how did I end up fishing and getting myself caught in the crossfire?

Lying on the ground, Kogoro Mouri briefly contemplated the meaning of life.

Finally, Inspector Megure, who was lying in wait nearby, pulled him up.

"Brother Mori, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice and you fell!"

Inspector Megure said with a forced smile.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri shook his head, his intelligence finally regaining its footing.

He shook his head again and asked.

"Wait, what on earth is going on?"

"I just saw Officer Sato, came over to say hello, and asked what was going on. Why did you suddenly throw me to the ground? What happened?"

Kogoro Mouri was completely baffled.

Sato Miwako, who was standing next to her, quickly explained,

"Because three vicious murders occurred inside Beika Department Store, and all the victims were women, I thought the murderer was approaching me, so I took the initiative to strike first."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect it to be Mr. Mori..."

Three heinous murder cases, all of which involved female victims?

This is indeed a big problem.

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin.

He remembered that Sonoko and Ran were also going shopping here today. They should have met up by now and were on their way. Should he call them and tell them not to come?

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri casually asked,

"By the way, were there any specific characteristics of the deceased?"

When the topic of distinctive features came up, Inspector Megure, along with Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi standing nearby, exchanged glances, then nodded and said,

"Yes, Brother Mori, yes."

"You know, dark makeup is quite popular among girls lately. The more your skin tone resembles that of an African, the more fashionable you are. All three victims were girls who used dark makeup, so they were most likely the killer's targets."

Mori Kogoro:?

Huh? What kind of trend is this? The more you look like an African, the more fashionable you are?

Thankfully, my Ran doesn't follow these messy trends and dress up haphazardly. But... thinking about it this way, it seems like I don't have to worry about Ran and Sonoko being attacked.

Kogoro Mouri nodded slightly as he thought about this.

He then asked,

"Do you have any information about the killer? If so, please tell me."

"As the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, solving this case would be a piece of cake if I were willing to help. Inspector Megure, leave this case to me!"
