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

Chapter 42 There is no Batman in the world, only Kamen Rider!
—They actually brought up checking fingerprints?

No, what's the point of checking fingerprints?
Osamu Honda felt a little uneasy, but then he thought about it and his unease disappeared.

There is no other reason.

He even wore gloves when he cosplayed as Patlabor!
There is absolutely no way that fingerprints could be left on a gun, so checking fingerprints would have absolutely no effect on him!
Thinking of this, Honda Osamu couldn't help but sneer.

He looked at the guy who had somehow hidden the coffee cup, a smug look on his face.

This guy whose name I don't know.

He actually claimed to be Batman, and had even taken his gun to check it when he wasn't looking...

But now, faced with the scheme he has arranged this time, we still have no way to break through it!
All I can do now are these useless face-saving projects to save face!

Moreover, Honda Osamu knew this very well.

Batman doesn't exist in this world!

The only one that exists —

There's only Kamen Rider!
Moreover, there can be no one else but Osamu Honda as this Kamen Rider!

After that incident, Osamu Honda became increasingly obsessed with Kamen Rider tokusatsu dramas.

The more he looked at Kamen Rider, the more he felt that Kamen Rider resembled him!

Therefore, Osamu Honda would appear in a Kamen Rider uniform at every tokusatsu fan meeting.

In his daily life, he increasingly felt that he was the real-world Kamen Rider.

"That's right, I can feel the will of Kamen Rider reviving within me..."

"I am the real Kamen Rider!"

Osamu Honda thought to himself.

It was as if Honda was secretly grumbling to himself.

Chen En turned his head to look at Honda Osamu, his eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a look of disapproval.

Beside him, Takagi Wataru put the two handguns into an evidence bag, then immediately got up and, following Chen En's suggestion, took the handguns to the police car he had brought outside to collect and examine fingerprints.

This scene was performed without Inspector Megure's permission.

However, many police officers at the scene took it for granted and did not find it strange at all.

—That's how they always do it when facing detectives.

Don't ask, the answer is that I have an external brain so I just give up thinking.

“Mr. Tsutsumi Yasuyuki, you mentioned this before, didn’t you?”

"The role of Kamen Rider was previously played by Mr. Osamu Honda."

Chen En put his hands into his pockets.

As for his physical body, it had already been stored in Batman's six-slot storage belt during the previous sprint.

The special effect on the coffee cup has already been used once today.

Drinking coffee can only restore physical and mental strength, but he is now perfectly healthy and can't use those functions.

Although Chen En was asking Tsutsumi Yasuyuki a question, his gaze was firmly fixed on Honda Osamu.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who wasn't particularly sensitive to the situation, could sense that Chen En seemed to have a very unfriendly attitude towards Osamu Honda.

It's almost like identifying the criminal in advance and then finding evidence to prove it.

Presumption of guilt.

This is a common trick used by detectives, and it's also a consistent practice of the Bat family.

Tsutsumi Yasuyuki, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Yes, that’s right.”

"Honda has always loved the character Kamen Rider. If anyone insults Kamen Rider, Honda will even fight that person."

"Apart from this gathering, Kamen Rider was played by Honda."

"Because he truly loves this role, and we can feel that..."

After Tsutsumi spoke, Osamu Honda sensed that the situation had subtly changed.

He had to consider whether he should make some technical adjustments later, such as finding more compelling testimonies for him...

Honda Osamu's attention was entirely focused on Tsutsumi Yasuyuki.

Then, he felt something dark on his body and was startled.

While Tikkon was speaking, Chen En had already arrived in front of him without him noticing.

There was no sound when I walked.

Even Osamu Honda, who calls himself Kamen Rider, didn't hear any strange noises!

“Answer me, Osamu Honda.”

Batman asked in a low voice,
"If you love Kamen Rider so much, why did you change your outfit this time?"

Is it because you no longer love Kamen Rider?

—How could I not love you!
Kamen Rider's eyes widened, about to retort.

But for a moment, he couldn't find any rebuttal.

He couldn't possibly say he loved Patlabor more than Kamen Rider, since he himself was Kamen Rider, but giving other reasons seemed logically flawed...

Damn, this guy actually seems to have some skills.

I'll just accept that you're Batman for five minutes.

Honda Osamu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shifted the focus of the argument.

"Batman, are you saying I'm the murderer?"

"But, as everyone can see, I am the victim!"

"Katsuji Mifune committed suicide by shooting himself. He attacked me because I had mocked his motorcycle outfit at a previous gathering for not being accurate enough. Both Yasuyuki Tsutsumi and President Saotome can vouch for me!"

Motorcycle attire? Just because he made a mocking remark, he came over and shot someone?
Kogoro Mouri felt this was a bit far-fetched.

Although he was asked to leave the scene of the crime to prevent problems with the police investigation, he continued to closely monitor the situation.

However, the reactions of Tsutsumi Yasuyuki and Saotome Muka beside him were beyond his expectations.

After a moment's hesitation, Saotome Momoka nodded and said,

"Yes, that's true."

"Katsuji Mifune's motorcycle was completely modified based on Kamen Rider's grasshopper motorcycle. He put a lot of effort into it. Insulting the grasshopper motorcycle is tantamount to insulting his idol, Kamen Rider."

"That's probably why Katsuji Mifune was so desperate to kill and seek revenge at that time..."

Maori Kogoro:?

That brings me back to the point.

Kogoro Mouri then felt that Chen En's attitude was somewhat unreasonable.

After all, the situation is already quite clear; we can simply conclude that the murderer committed suicide and close the case.

In the real world, there are no hypnotists who can hypnotize a murderer to commit suicide after killing him.

Inspector Megure, who was standing next to Chen En, had the same reaction.

Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Bat, it seems that Mr. Honda is not a suspect in the murder at the moment."

"Wouldn't saying that be a bit too hurtful to him?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately realized that this was the perfect opportunity for him to show off his skills.

He then bypassed the police officers who were symbolically blocking his way and rushed into the scene!
That wicked finger was already pointing at Osamu Honda.

Kogoro Mouri stated this with absolute certainty.

"That's right, Inspector Megure!"

"Based on my reasoning as the great detective Kogoro Mouri, Osamu Honda cannot be the culprit in this case!"

Mu Mu Police Department:?
That brings me back to the point.

Since Mori said so, I think Honda Osamu is very likely the murderer!
