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

Chapter 291 Red, Blue, and White? Could it be that Conan is an assassin?!

The black skull is the most obvious feature of the steel industry.

Since the person attempting to murder Genta Kojima is wearing a black skull-themed T-shirt, it's possible they're connected to the Steel Society. Could it be that the Steel Society is planning to use Kojima as a pretext for their assassination attempt?

So that we can lure him out?

Chen En only thought about it briefly before immediately ruling out this possibility.
According to Genta Kojima, he reported the incident to the police a week after it occurred.
Three more days have passed since then, meaning that the robbers that Kojima Genta witnessed must have started committing the crimes at least ten days ago, and if we're talking about repeat offenders, it could even have been earlier.

Members of the Steel Society would not stoop so low as to resort to robbing the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled with bicycles.

Perhaps it's just a simple coincidence.

Conan then asked seriously,

"Yuanta, think again, where did you see that robber?"

"Is there anyone else who saw the robber like you? If we could find out where the robber was last seen and if there were any other eyewitnesses like you, then finding the robber shouldn't be too difficult."

However, faced with this incredibly simple question,

Genta scratched his head, looking somewhat dejected, and said...

"I don't remember."

"I was in a daze at the time, and I just saw the robber. I didn't even know where the robber went. And I just remember staring at the robber, but the robber didn't react at all."

Conan:?
You can even remember the robber's physical features, and you can clearly remember that he was left-handed and used his left hand to hold things.
You're telling me you don't remember seeing that robber anywhere?
No, what's wrong with your memory?

Conan was momentarily at a loss, baffled by Genta's bizarre and unpredictable memory.

However, what Genta said next...

This actually cheered Conan up.
"Because," Yuan Tai said.
"I remember there should have been someone else who saw the robber, just like me."

"I remember sitting next to a blond guy, and we were both looking in the same direction. If I saw the robber, then that guy should have seen him too, but something was strange..."

“After I called the police, they found the blond guy, but he said he had never seen the robber, or even me, and knew nothing about the incident.”

—So, there are still eyewitnesses.

However, for some reason, the eyewitness said that he did not see the robber or Kojima Genta. So, if we just find the eyewitness and find a way to get him to talk, right?
Conan stroked his chin.

He quickly came up with an idea, while Mitsuhiko, standing beside him, complained.
"Seriously, Genta, if you remember so many details, how come you forgot where you saw the robber?"

In response, Genta Kojima answered loudly,

"Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know the answer to this!"

"If I had to pinpoint the exact location, I would remember that there were red, blue, and white colors in that place. It was so obvious that I still have an impression of it... But the places I frequent don't have any red, blue, or white colors at all!"

Upon hearing this, Mitsuhiko couldn't help but sigh.

Don't say that Genta didn't know; he didn't know there were places that were red, blue, and white and that he frequented.

Only Ayumi, standing nearby, seemed to have thought of something.
She looked at Conan, sizing him up for a moment.
Then, pointing at Conan, he said in a panic,

"Isn't Conan the only character we commonly see with red, blue, and white?"

"A blue suit, white clothes, and a red bow tie! Could that robber be...?!"

Conan:?
Do I look like a robber to you?
Wait, isn't there a wanted poster on the wall next to it? One look and you know it can't be an elementary school student, right? Just then, the Grim Reaper elementary school student activated his Spinosaurus form because of his friend's criticism...
But when you want to spit it out but then stop...
Chen En has already dialed Inspector Megure's number.
He leaned against the wall and asked,

"Inspector Megure, Genta Kojima once reported a robbery suspect to you, right?"

"Excuse me, what was the name of the eyewitness that Genta Kojima mentioned back then?"

Inspector Megure, who had just been reinstated, was contemplating life at his workstation.

Upon hearing Chen En's question, he suddenly sat up straight.
—Dude, are you really going to keep chasing after me and ripping me off?
I've only been back at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for less than half a day!
Inspector Megure finally sighed.
He glanced at the work log next to him and then said,
"That man's name is Someda, and he's an unemployed bum."

"Because his clothes and appearance were completely different from what Yuan Tai described, we let him go after a brief inquiry. What's wrong, Brother Chen En? You suddenly asked about this. Did you make some new discovery?"

In response, Chen En glanced at the large group of Beika Town residents who were already outside the alley, pointing and gesturing at the fallen sign.

Then he said,

"Have you ever considered that Someda might actually be the murderer? The reason his hairstyle and hair color are different from Genta's description is because he went to a hair salon to dye his hair and change his hairstyle?"

"I can help you catch him, so please go now..."

Chen En glanced at Conan over there.

Meanwhile, Conan had already eavesdropped and obtained specific information from Genta.

He turned around and mouthed the words to Chen En.

Then, Chen En said,
"Wait for me at the hair salon on the seventh floor of the station building. The murderer will be here soon."

Mu Mu Police Department:?
What are you trying to do? Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole?

Inspector Megure was about to say that this behavior was extremely dangerous.
Then, he realized that Chen En was also there.

—That's all.

Chen En was also present at the scene of the heinous murder.
The dangerous ones are usually the criminals, not Chen En!

call ended.

Inspector Megure put down his phone.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Damn it, is Brother Chen En really Batman?"

"Although it seems somewhat similar, there's an alibi. Could it be that Brother Chen En has some kind of advanced technology that allows him to freely travel between Hakodate City and Beika Town, appearing as both Batman and Chen En at the same time?"

This seems a bit too outrageous.

Inspector Megure didn't quite believe his own thoughts.

Even if the real Batman stepped out of the comics,
Normally, it would be impossible for Batman and Bruce Wayne to appear at the same time, right?
Not to mention Chen En, who was an acquaintance of his!

"Sato, Takagi, let's go."

"We're going to the hair salon on the seventh floor of the station building to make an arrest."

Sato Miwako, Takagi Wataru:?
What? What happened?

Arresting people right off the bat? Have they found a wanted criminal?
