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

Chapter 40 Gotham's Best Detective

"what!!!"

The others in the basement only realized what was happening at that moment.

Someone screamed, causing a visible panic among the crowd.

Kogoro Mouri, who was also preparing to subdue Katsuji Mishima but was much slower than Chen En, stopped in his tracks.

He glanced at the already beyond saving Katsuji Mishima, and Chen En observing the body beside it, then turned to the other cosplayers attending the tokusatsu fan meeting and loudly proclaimed,
"Everyone, please calm down!"

"I am Kogoro Mouri. A heinous murder has occurred here. Please remain calm and wait for the police to arrive and investigate. Until then, please stay in the basement and do not leave!"

Before becoming a famous detective, Kogoro Mouri was one of the most outstanding detectives in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.

Maintaining order at the scene was a piece of cake for Kogoro Mouri.

However, while maintaining order, he was puzzled as to what Chen En was looking at.

—Although Chen En's self-proclaimed title of Batman makes his thought process seem rather off-track.

However, judging from the previous performance at the Changmen Group villa.

Chen En's reasoning and fighting abilities are only slightly weaker than those of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. Could it be that he has made a new discovery at this time?

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

Saotome Muroka, who plays Natsume Rei, looks at this scene with disbelief.

She said,
"Even if there is a conflict between Osamu Honda and Katsuji Mifune, it shouldn't come to the point of mutual destruction!"

"What on earth happened?"

Standing beside the corpse, Chen En's gaze quickly swept over the body and the various positions of the firearms.

After drinking the coffee, he could only maintain his Batman state for one minute.

Although Batman's powers and skills cannot be used now that the killer is dead.

However, as one of the most outstanding detectives, Batman's deductive reasoning skills can still come in handy.

"A handgun modified from a model gun...?"

Chen En's gaze fell on the guns beside him.

Japan is a country with a gun ban, so getting a handgun that can kill is not an easy task. Even modifying such a model gun requires a professional enthusiast.

Of course, it's very simple if you're a retired soldier.

All he needs to do is disassemble a few sections of the water pipe, then do a super assembly, and he can transform into the number one male gunner in the Japanese server, making the target open their heart and embrace death.

"Is it just because Honda Osamu mocked his motorcycle?"

"This makes no sense. Honda Osamu and Mifune Katsuji have always had a good relationship, so why did it end up like this..."

Saotome Mokuhana repeated anxiously.

Tsutsumi Yasuyuki, who was standing nearby, hesitated, but at that moment, Chen En suddenly turned around and looked at Saotome Muroka, and scolded her.
"Yakamashi! That's enough, stop reading. If there's anything, go talk to the police!"

Chen En narrowed his eyes, making them appear incredibly sharp.

For no apparent reason, a sense of oppression that I hadn't felt before arose spontaneously.

This caused Saotome Muka and Tsutsumi Yasushi to instinctively stop talking and stand at attention.

Taking advantage of Kogoro Mouri's inattention, Conan sneaked over and stood next to Chen En, also examining the corpse.

Conan asked in a low voice,

"Chen En, what do you think is the situation with this case?"

"Is it a simple case of revenge killing followed by suicide?"

Chen En did not answer, his gaze fixed on Mifune Katsuji's face.

As is well known, Batman is a master among masters when it comes to torture.

To become a master in interrogation, one must know how to observe and interpret the target's micro-expressions.

He noticed that Katsuji Mifune showed a slight expression of surprise the moment he was shot, indicating that Mifune was shocked that the shot would cause him fatal damage.

but why?
A man holding a handgun capable of killing others fires at his own temple.

How could this gun not cause fatal damage to this person? Unless the pistol was loaded with blanks, it would be impossible to produce such a result... But the gun was not loaded with blanks.

"Chen En, what do you think?" Conan squatted down and stared at Katsuji Mifune's temple.

He subconsciously adjusted his non-prescription glasses. In his brief observation, the only information he could glean was that there were no scorch marks on the deceased's temples.

This indicates that the deceased did not shoot himself in the forehead before his death, which differs from deaths caused by normal suicide.

But that alone doesn't prove anything.

The deceased did indeed shoot himself in the temple, and that shot did indeed kill him. In every sense, this was a suicide out of guilt after committing murder.

However, Conan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Therefore, the youngest of the Batmen, Robin, once again turned his gaze to the sweetest of the Batmen and asked,

Do you think this is just a case of revenge killing followed by suicide?

"Besides that, there's nothing else to hide?"

Batman's voice is hoarse and deep.

he said,
"No!"

The fact that the security operation has not yet been completed indicates that the real culprit in the case is not dead.

What's more...

“If I were Katsuni Mifune, I wouldn’t just shoot his torso when I wanted to kill someone.”

"I'll shoot him in the head! And finish him off!"

His voice was deep,

"Otherwise, the same situation will occur as it is now."

"The murderer is dead, but the victim is not only alive, but completely unharmed!"

Completely unharmed...?!

Conan turned his head in surprise to look at the spot where Honda Osamu had fallen.

The man in the mobile police uniform seemed to have just woken up, and he slowly stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground.

This scene left everyone present speechless with astonishment.

Katsuji Mifune rushed in and shot Osamu Honda. Osamu Honda didn't die, but Katsuji Mifune did.

They had never seen anything so absurd!
"That was really close. Wearing the bulletproof vest this time was definitely the right decision."

Honda pulled open his mobile police uniform.

Inside was a bulletproof vest with a bullet hole in it. Clearly, it was this high-quality bulletproof vest that saved Honda Osamu's life.

He said with a wry smile,

"Sigh, I never expected things to turn out this way."

That's so strange.

A sense of unease arose in Conan's heart.

The reality before him gave Conan a sense of unreality; he felt that everything seemed a bit too much...

"Too dramatic."

Chen En's voice remained low and hoarse.

The hair, which previously appeared to be uneven, now stands up slightly on both sides, resembling a pair of pointed ears.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze disapproving, and stared at Honda Osamu.
"This is a drama."

“I’ve seen a lot in Gotham City… and I’ve been an actor and audience member in many plays.”

"Same this time."

However, Batman always manages to detach himself from the drama and find the root of the problem.

Batman will always win.

No matter how difficult the situation, we will persevere.

It's the same this time.
