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

Chapter 17: Summon Sheriff Gordon with the Bat-Lantern!
In most universes, there is always a bright red, beating conscience in Gotham City, and that is Commissioner Gordon.

Whenever Sheriff Gordon encounters a problem he can't solve, he lights up his Bat-Signal, and then the elusive Night Rider appears to help him.

[Congratulations, host, on making contact with Commissioner Gordon! You have taken a major step towards becoming the fully-fledged Batman!]

When Commissioner Gordon encounters difficulties, the system will send out the Bat-Lights to inform Batman of Commissioner Gordon's location in real time! Helping Commissioner Gordon resolve tricky situations will earn you extra points!

Chen En refers to Inspector Megure as Chief Gordon.

It wasn't because Inspector Megure had just thought he had mental problems and was turning the tables on him; it was simply because the system popped up a new notification page the moment he came into contact with Inspector Megure.

Wow, Sheriff Gordon gets extra points for solving tricky cases when he's in trouble?

Isn't this a great thing?

As everyone knows, given Inspector Megure's abilities, any case in Beika Town would be a difficult one for him to solve. So isn't this just giving him free points?
—Of course, cases like the one we just saw, where Inspector Megure hadn't even arrived before the case was over, were indeed a bit difficult to handle.

However, it's not that there's no way to solve it.

Chen En, with pure eyes and a sincere tone, took Inspector Megure's hand and said earnestly,
"Sheriff Gordon, may I write down your phone number?"

"If I encounter any difficult situations in the future, I will definitely use the bat light to send you a signal to help you solve the problem!"

Oh, I see. You're a really nice person...

Inspector Megure was taken aback.

Huh? Did I hear that right? You called yourself Batman, and then you said I was Commissioner Gordon...

Then when a case arises, you use a bat-shaped light to signal me? Isn't that going against the natural order?
Inspector Megure certainly hadn't misheard.

That's what Chen En said.

—That's right. In cases like bank robberies, Inspector Megure can only arrive at the scene afterward.

I definitely won't get the extra points, but hey! If I call Inspector Megure and tell him there's a case, then that's a problem Inspector Megure can't solve, right? Then he'll have to credit those points to me, won't he?
This is the astonishing wisdom of Batman from Beika Town!

"...Well, thank you so much, Mr. Batman."

Inspector Megure was rendered speechless.

He answered after a while, and somewhat reluctantly left his phone number.

Well, it's just a phone number, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

……perhaps.

"Inspector Megure, the recorder did indeed capture the entire incident!"

The police officer who went to the college students' area brought over the cassette tape.

Inspector Megure glanced at Wataru Takagi beside him, and Takagi immediately understood. He then led two officers out to find a working tape recorder to play the tapes recorded by the college students.

The other officers began setting up a cordon at the scene in an orderly manner and got busy.

Yes, I'm very busy, but I don't know what I'm busy with.

Chen En glanced at it and shook his head inwardly.

As expected, the police officers in Beika Town are far inferior to those in Gotham City.

Gotham City police officers are much more capable in this regard.

—This isn't him praising Gotham City's police officers, but rather that if Gotham City's police officers aren't highly skilled, they generally won't last long until Batman arrives to rescue them. That's a skill that's truly risked their lives for.

"Ouch, take this!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

The bank's field staff member, who had been shot and knocked to the ground by the bank robbers, suddenly opened his eyes.

He picked up the stick in his hand and was about to smash the bank robber's head open.

Then he received puzzled looks from many police officers present.

No, little brother, who are you going to hit?
The field staff were stunned.

He looked at the wooden stick in his hand, then at the police officers scattered on the ground. Huh? What? It's over? Was he unconscious for a long time? Even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers were there?
"Ahem, I just... picked it up casually."

The field staff member chuckled and let go of the stick, allowing it to fall to the ground.

Then he turned his head and began to examine the counter table.

Ah, how come I never noticed before? This table is really a table!
The other officers then looked away.

They continued their busy investigation, though they didn't know what they were busy with.

It seems the investigation into this case will take some time to conclude.

Chen En knew without asking that the branches of Dongdu Bank would definitely not be able to conduct business normally during this period.

He'll probably have to wait a while to open an account and get a bank card.

So he casually leaned against the pillar, holding his coffee, and turned to look at Ran Mouri, who had been staring at him.

—What is this silly kid looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before?

Chen En had seen Phantom Thief Kid on the Queen Cerissa.

Although at the time, Kaito Kid was still wearing a monocle disguise.

However, while the citizens of Beika Town consume the disguise effect, he does not.

Even if Kaito Kid didn't take off his monocle, Chen En already had a general idea of ​​what Kaito Kid looked like.

Well, he definitely doesn't look like Kaito Kid, and he certainly doesn't look like Shinichi Kudo either.

Why is Ran Mouri staring at him?
Chen En took a sip of coffee, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing his disapproval.

You're staring at me? If you're staring at me, then I'll stare back at you!
I, Batman, have never been inferior to anyone in my life!

Ran Mouri felt her face burning when she realized she had been caught peeping.

She finally couldn't help but ask,
"Mr. Chen En, who did you learn your fighting skills from?"

"I think I vaguely saw you use some karate techniques, but it wasn't entirely karate; it was more like a combination of many different techniques..."

Ran Mouri considered it for a moment before speaking seriously.
"A near-perfect power generation technique!"

"Could you tell me where you learned your power generation techniques? If possible, I'd like to visit you!"

If she can go further, perhaps she won't be limited to the Kanto High School Karate Championships.

She then participated in nationwide karate tournaments, bringing her one step closer to challenging her idol, Makoto Kyogoku!

To this, Chen En answered without hesitation,

"Oh, I studied in Tibet."

Tibet is to Batman what Hawaii is to Conan.

You can learn anything from Tibet; that's Batman.

Hearing this, Ran Mouri was both amused and exasperated, unsure of what to say.

Although she didn't know much about it.

However, she had learned quite a bit about the history of the great Eastern country and felt that fighting skills couldn't be learned there... There were no fighting masters there.

"Ah, yes... um?"

Chen En noticed that Suzuki Sonoko was also spying on him.

He was just about to turn around and say hello.

A shocking new mission suddenly popped up in front of him.

—This is a special mission concerning [Bane]!
