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

Chapter 104 The Mysterious Bat
A horrific tragedy occurred at Suzuki Manor.

The Romanov dynasty historian who was invited was beaten so badly in his room by a man who looked very much like Jack Chen that he suffered shattered bones all over his body. His screams could be heard throughout the entire manor.

When the manor's servants broke down the door to the room.

All they could see was Pu Siqinglan lying on the ground, completely defeated.

As for the person who attacked her, as Pu Siqinglan mentioned, he had long since disappeared, and there was no trace of him in the room, except for the gun parts on the ground.

"Officer, could you please tell me what happened?"

"How come your people arrived at the scene so soon after we called the police, just after Pu Siqinglan was beaten like this?"

At that moment, Suzuki Shiro, who happened to be at home, asked in surprise.

Inspector Megure was also having a bit of a headache about this.

How did he know about this?

They wouldn't have come if someone hadn't called the police and confessed that he was the internationally renowned assassin Scrooge, and that he was going to target the Suzuki Group, telling them to come and arrest him if they dared.

—To be precise, under normal circumstances, even if the other party said that, he still wouldn't come.

However, since there had been a similar situation in the Moriya Teiji incident, Inspector Megure chose the idea of ​​"better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free" and hurriedly led his men to the scene to check the situation.

"Anyway, take me there to have a look first."

Inspector Megure said solemnly.

He led Takagi Wataru and the others hurriedly toward the room where Suzuki Shiro had said an intentional assault had occurred.

Inside the room, Pu Siqinglan leaned against something, her clothes torn to shreds, a clear indication of how ruthless the attacker had been.

So much so that Inspector Megure gasped in shock as soon as he entered the room.

Why would a guy hit someone so hard?

He felt somewhat surprised.

It wasn't that I was surprised why that person would make the move, but rather that Pu Siqinglan was still conscious and even able to say a few words. A normal person would have been killed by such a beating, right?
Inspector Megure shook his head.

Setting aside his own thoughts, he crouched down, looked at Pu Siqinglan, and calmly asked,
"Excuse me, miss, are you [Scobing]?"

The aftermath of the previous Moriya Teiji incident seems to be just like that.

He also noticed that Teiji Moriya seemed to have been incapacitated before being arrested by the police.

I didn't mention this when I talked to Chen En and Kogoro Mouri.

Simply because it's a confidential matter.

Now, all that can be seen inside the entire Suzuki Estate is that of Pu Siqinglan, who has been beaten to this state.

Based on his previous experience, Inspector Megure's first reaction was to assume that Urako Seiran was Shi Kaobing, so he asked her.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Pu Siqinglan's eyes.

—Isn't that man a bounty hunter?
They beat her up like that but didn't arrest her to claim the reward, nor did they kill her on the spot. It turns out they called the police to arrest her.

...Is this Tamar some vigilante from a superhero comic book?
A flicker of anger flashed through Pu Siqinglan's mind.

She never imagined that she would be brought down by this matter!
------

Poirot Cafe.

The counter's sign girl, Enomoto Azusa, waved goodbye to Chen En with a smile.

About an hour ago.

Chen En went to the Polo Coffee Shop to place his order.

—Although Poirot Café is nominally a coffee shop.

But this place can actually be used as a restaurant.

The menu offers a wide variety of options.

Even many police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department deliberately drive here to eat dinner.

Just like now.

Officer Chiba glanced curiously at Chen En, who had turned and left. Then he took another bite of the sandwich in his hand.

I'm very curious about what this man who calls himself Batman actually looks like.

However, he was too embarrassed to say hello.

Because during the ninja case, Officer Chiba and Chen En barely exchanged a few words. Later, when Chen En and Inspector Megure took a car to Saruhashi Katsuie, he didn't get on the car with them but stayed at Beika North Park to maintain order at the scene.

After solving the case, Chen En and his group went home separately.

This was the first time Chiba Kazunobu had met Chen En outside of working hours.

"Next time, next time I definitely have to say hello to Mr. Batman!"

Chiba Kazunobu made up his mind.

In this era full of people who are already living a fulfilling life, it's incredibly difficult to find someone who loves anime and manga.

No one knows this better than him.

Now that I've finally found a partner, and this partner is exceptionally good at solving cases, and can even help me boost my performance, there's simply no reason not to get on good terms with Chen En!
drip.

A voice came over the intercom.

Almost simultaneously, the numerous police officers inside the Poirot Café picked up their walkie-talkies.

They glanced at the other person's actions in surprise before asking what was going on. A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I am Toshiro Odagiri, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

"All Criminal Investigation Department officers are to proceed to the Suzuki Manor in accordance with emergency procedures to cordon off the area and cooperate with the Japanese Public Security Bureau in completing the investigation of the Suzuki Manor—"

“An hour ago, [Bat], which appeared in the Moriya Teiji case before, made its move again.”

"The person attacked this time is the internationally notorious fugitive, assassin, and thief, Scottie. Now, let me repeat, I am from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division..."

Is it [Bat] again?
Kazunobu Chiba was somewhat surprised.

This was the second time he had heard the term.

The previous Moriya Teiji case was investigated by the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

It wasn't until this afternoon that the Japanese Public Security Bureau sent a message to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, stating that the identity of the mysterious person who attacked Teiji Moriya has not yet been determined, and that "Bat" is being used as the code name for the arrest operation.

I thought that after this mysterious person dealt with Teiji Moriya, he would disappear for a while and lay low.

I never expected them to commit crimes so frequently.

—But, doesn't "bat" mean bat?

Chiba Kazunobu subconsciously looked at Chen En, who had already disappeared from sight.

Then, he shook his head and chuckled.

"How could that be? Mr. Batman was having dinner here an hour ago."

"Unless one knows the Flying Thunder God Technique, how could one possibly be in two different places at the same time, eating and fighting at the same time?"

------

In the alley.

Chen En reached out and took off his hood, revealing his true face.

Terai Huangnosuke.

The butler of Phantom Thief Kid.

In the afternoon, Chen En asked Terai Kinosuke for help in finding the location of Urashi Seiran.

However, Terai Kinosuke was of no help.

Therefore, Chen En asked Terai Kinosuke for a second favor.

This time, Terai Kinosuke came to the rescue.

He appeared at Poirot's Cafe as Chen En.

As decisive alibi!
