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

Chapter 41: On the True Nature of the Rice Flower Batman

It's really taking off; its sales are actually catching up with mine!
Inspector Megure never imagined that he would be summoned around by his own younger brother as a summoning object.

When I was dealing with the two Kudo brothers and the Mori brother before,
He's always the one making calls to call people, how come it's my brother calling him now?

As for why both Yusaku Kudo and Shinichi Kudo are called "Brother Kudo"?

This is not important.

I call his father "brother," and I call him "brother" too. We each have our own way of addressing each other!
------

"Oh no, bro, have you joined the Shocker organization and are you using me to boost your sales figures?"

Standing at the entrance to the basement, Inspector Megure looked at the group of people dressed as Shocker villains below, his face showing reluctance.

What is this? Did we accidentally stumble upon a Kamen Rider filming set?

Why are they all villains? Where are the superheroes?

Inspector Megure, along with Officer Takagi and several forensic officers, walked down the stairs.

His gaze swept over the superheroes beside him.

Kamen Rider, Patlabor, Batman... Hmm, seems normal enough.

He walked past the superheroes, his face grim as he looked at the gunned corpses.

Then, Inspector Megure suddenly felt that something was not right.

He suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

His gaze instantly locked onto Chen En.

Why does my friend Chen En's name automatically get replaced by Batman's name when I see him?
What is this? Meme contamination?
This was the first time he had seen Chen En without the white coffee cup, and he almost didn't recognize her!

Inspector Megure looked at Chen En speechlessly and told the officers next to him to set up a cordon.

Then, he quickly took a few steps closer to Chen En, put his arm around Chen En's shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Chen En, what's going on? What's the situation here?"

"I just received another dispatch notice from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters on my way here. How come you always manage to send me a message to alert them before a crime even happens?"

"Also, where did your original body go?"

Chen En: ?
What do you mean by that? Does that mean my true form, the Batman of Candy Rice Flower Town, is actually a coffee cup?
Even if it really is true, you can't say it out loud!
As the saying goes, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future!"
Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, stared at Inspector Megure and Chen En, then pulled Wataru Takagi aside and asked,
"What's going on? Why did Inspector Megure go looking for that bat brat as soon as he came in?"

"Wasn't I the first person to report this?"

Takagi Wataru paused for a moment.

He glanced hesitantly in Chen En's direction before answering.

“Detective Mori, you were probably the first person to call the police after the incident.”

"However, Batman called the police before the incident occurred, so theoretically he was the first person to report it."

Maori Kogoro:?

Is Zun Du fake? Is that even possible?

"...That's it."

Inspector Megure nodded after asking about the general situation.

He went to the body, intending to examine the situation himself.

Let's see if it's as Chen En said.

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing nearby, quickly asked,

"Inspector Megure, why don't you ask me what my opinion is on this case?"

"I, the sleeping Kogoro, have already figured out the ins and outs of the case and know the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure suddenly looked up at Kogoro Mouri.

He stared at Kogoro Mouri for a moment, then asked in a low voice,
"Brother Mori, are you sleepy right now?"

Kogoro Mouri blinked and replied,

"Uh, I'm not sleepy." Inspector Megure nodded knowingly and then said,
"Mr. Mori, please move away from the body for a moment. I need to begin my investigation."

The sleeping detective, of course, only has reasoning ability when he is asleep.

With Kogoro Mouri so energetic right now, even if we were to actually deduce the case, it would only be a matter of elimination. So it would be better not to ask at all, since there's only one suspect in this case on the surface.

If this suspect is ruled out, what's the point of their criminal investigation department officers investigating?

Maori Kogoro:?

Damn it, Inspector Megure, you've changed.

Normally they call me Brother Mori, but when they don't need my help, they call me Mr. Mori!

Kogoro Mouri sighed and walked to the side, while Ran Mouri comforted him.
"It's okay, Dad. It's already impressive that you were able to maintain order before the police arrived."

"In my heart, you are still the most amazing detective!"

It's only slightly inferior to a washing machine.

Kogoro Mouri was deeply moved.

If he knew that Ran Mouri thought Shinichi Kudo was better, his feelings of gratitude would probably turn into an aggression towards Shinichi Kudo, and he would put on a show of gradually developing a kind heart.

The real Shinichi Kudo had no time to pay attention to the little theater that the Mori father and daughter put on.

Conan, with a large bump on his head, sat among the Junior Detective League members, watching the investigation at the crime scene from afar.

He originally planned to stay by Chen En's side and wait for Inspector Megure to come and help explain the case.

However, who would have thought that Uncle Mori was a man without any martial ethics?

I had just finished maintaining order when I turned around and saw him sneak over to the corpse and unleash a Mori God Fist!
Caught off guard, Conan was immediately grabbed by the back of his collar by Kogoro Mouri and placed among the members of the Detective Boys like a cat, thus being removed from the main battlefield of solving the case.

However, Conan was not discouraged.

He turned his gaze to Yuan Tai beside him and asked,

"Yuanta, I remember you touched that CT police officer's sidearm before?"

Conan's question startled Genta, who had just been discussing why Katsuji Mifune committed suicide.

As the nominal captain of the Junior Detective League.

Genta always thought that he was the smartest one in the Junior Detective League.

But in his heart, he also admitted that Conan was indeed smarter than him.

Now that Conan finally has something he doesn't understand and wants to ask the leader, he's going to give him a proper answer!
Throw all the images of eel rice and curry rice in your mind into the trash can.

Yuan Tai tried hard to recall what had happened before, and after a while, he said uncertainly,
"I touched it! I just touched it once, and he slapped my hand away and scared me!"

—In this way, we can verify our previous ideas.

Conan pushed up his glasses.

A white light, seemingly from nowhere, shot right through the lens!
He suspected that Honda's pistol had been switched when Honda first came in, which is why Chen En didn't find anything wrong with the gun. Now, there is a way to verify this!

All we need to do is check if Honda Osamu's toy gun has Genta's fingerprints on it...!
------

"My assessment is that we should first extract the fingerprints from the firearm and send them for testing."

Chen En glanced at the [Mobile Police] behind him.

The director who orchestrated this plot, the murderer, seemed to believe his drama was flawless, impossible even for Batman to crack.

That is indeed difficult.

The main problem is that he can't take Honda Osamu to the rooftop to bungee jump in front of the police; he needs to find clues slowly.

“Not only Mifune Katsuni’s gun, but also Honda’s gun, will be sent for testing to check for fingerprints.”

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should only be my fingerprints on it..."

Batman in Beika Town said in a low voice,
"In that case, the truth of the case will be revealed."
