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

Chapter 387 Okay, I'll go!

"What flag? Why did you think of that?"

Ai Haibara, carrying her small bag, blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She had no idea what had happened to Chen En during his trip to Nagano Prefecture to accompany his girlfriend on astronomical observations, let alone that he would connect it to this. She could only sigh and say...

"It's a cosplay parade at the anime convention, didn't you know?"

—A cosplay parade at a comic convention?

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

Although it's true that he went to the comic convention with Sonoko Suzuki yesterday, he really doesn't know anything about this. Is there some new information that he doesn't know?
Seeing Chen En's unusually puzzled look, for some reason, Ai Haibara's mood improved slightly.
She explained in a low voice.

"Because yesterday's anime convention was a huge success, before the convention ended, the organizers said they wanted to organize a group of cosplayers to parade and promote otaku culture the next day, and they reported this to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. This was reported on the news last night..."

Ai Haibara suddenly realized something as she spoke.
This is local news from Tokyo. Nagano Prefecture is located in the area between the Kanto and Kansai regions.

I'm afraid they won't be broadcasting local news from Tokyo. Even if they did, given the time Chen En arrived in Nagano Prefecture and returned from stargazing, he probably wouldn't be able to see that kind of news.

Therefore, Ai Haibara coughed lightly, as if to cover something up, before speaking.

"Anyway, I didn't go to the comic convention yesterday because I didn't think it was interesting."

"However, after seeing the news last night about the large and varied Batman cosplay teams that were organizing the publicity parade, I felt it was necessary to go and take a look."

"Furthermore, Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys have already made arrangements to meet there at 2 PM. Mitsuhiko will bring a video camera for filming, and the Detective Boys will all go to see the cosplay parade in person."

Ai Haibara, having said this, looked up and asked matter-of-factly,
So, aren't you coming along?

Chen En: ?
Am I a member of the Junior Detective League? Why am I included?
Just as Batman is an indispensable member of the Teen Titans, I am also an indispensable member of the Detective Boys, right? It's a pity that I don't have any thoughts about being an unofficial member of the Detective Boys yet.

He reached out and ruffled Ai Haibara's hair, sighing with emotion.

"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. I have other things to do later. You guys go and have fun."

"By the way, are you coming back for dinner tonight? If not, I'll just grab a bite at Poirot's Cafe. Cooking isn't that hard, but cleaning up the dishes is such a hassle."

Haibara Ai:?
Is there anything else important you need to do?
Ai Haibara was somewhat puzzled.

She had gone to bed early last night to prepare for today's operation, abandoning her usual underworld routine, but when she woke up this morning, she still checked what had happened in Tokyo last night.

Nothing happened in Tokyo last night; it was an unusually quiet night.

In this situation, if Chen En still has something to do, then she thinks it can only be that Chen En has obtained information from somewhere and is preparing to solve the problem in advance.
Just like the criminals that Chen En dealt with before they even started their operations, such as Moriya Teiji and Urashi Seiran.

"Well, good luck to you."

Ai Haibara said this.
She didn't intend to press for details, even though Chen En would most likely answer her if she asked. But some things, since Chen En hadn't said, weren't worth asking.

Digging into the details serves no purpose other than satisfying one's own curiosity; there's no need to do so. Ai Haibara walked past Chen En, descending the stairs.
Hearing the footsteps behind him gradually descending, Chen En closed the apartment door behind him, then sat down in front of his computer, which he had kept on all the time, and first reached out to touch the outside of the computer screen.

—It's really hot. It's definitely best not to use consumer computers in this way these days.

However, that wasn't something Chen En cared about.

He had already backed up the data on the computer. At worst, if the computer was completely destroyed, he would just buy a new one, transfer the data and the secret door into it, and it would still work the same way.

I haven't used the five-minute Oracle buff for today.

Chen En did not intend to use the five-minute divine state for his daily data collection work during the day, because he wanted to save this opportunity for tonight in case he was powerless to deal with the special situation of having to fight against a super artificial intelligence.

He simply activated the backdoors he had planted within various intelligence organizations and used these backdoors as springboards to briefly and quickly access the relevant databases of each organization.

And the facts show that Ai Haibara was not lying.
Nothing happened last night. Whether it was the FBI, CIA, Japanese Public Security Bureau, or Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, their databases all showed that yesterday was a rare safe day in Gotham, and no serious incidents were found.

Of course, this is most likely just a coincidence.
Chen En dared to say with certainty,
All the major intelligence and espionage organizations are now secretly plotting and preparing to assassinate him, the representative figure of Tokyo's superhero world, or trying to organize a massive attack to change the landscape of Tokyo.

However, he was not afraid; he simply dealt with whatever came his way.

"Let's start by going to see Tadahira Kashimura."

Chen En thought to himself quietly.

------

"Huh? A comic convention? Why would I go to a cosplay parade at a comic convention?"

The living room on the third floor of the Mori Detective Agency.

When Ai Haibara came to visit, Conan asked her in return,

"What's so interesting about it?"

"Is watching a bunch of Batman characters who are totally out of character really that interesting? Or are you here for the other cosplays? Wouldn't watching the live TV series have the same effect?"

To this, Ai Haibara simply sighed and then said,
"Professor Agasa, the Detective Boys and I will all be going. Are you going to leave the group alone?"

"Don't forget, the antidote for APTX-4869 isn't finished yet. You still need to maintain your identity as Conan Edogawa, so... I suggest you go and take a look."

"This isn't a loss for you, is it?"

—Indeed, there was no loss.

Actually, when Conan heard that Professor Agasa and the Junior Detective were also going, he already had the idea of ​​going along. Now that Ai Haibara brought it up again...
Conan nodded and said without hesitation,
"Okay, I'll go!"
