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

Chapter 460 has arrived: A new classmate!
Downstairs at the apartment building, Sonoko Suzuki kicked a pebble next to her out of boredom.

Her mood brightened when she saw Chen Enxin standing at the apartment entrance. She circled Chen Enxin twice as he walked out of the apartment before asking him curiously.
“Ah, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.”

"Were you following that uncle around solving cases every day just out of your personal hobby?"

Online sources say that Batman is one of the world's top detectives.

From this perspective, it's normal to have similar hobbies to Kudo.

"Personal hobby? I'd say so, but not really."

"However, it's not just a simple personal hobby."

Chen En answered honestly.

This only added to Sonoko Suzuki's curiosity.

So it's not just a personal hobby?

Could it be that Chen En has some super powerful ability that makes his combat power increase a little with each case he solves, just like the protagonist in an RPG leveling up by fighting monsters?
Before Sonoko Suzuki could ask, Ran Mouri's voice rang out.

"Good morning, Sonoko, Mr. Chen En."

Chen En and Suzuki Sonoko simultaneously turned their heads to look in the direction of Mouri Ran.
A look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Normally speaking, Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri are inseparable best friends.

However, yesterday's situation seemed somewhat abnormal.

Sonoko Suzuki had no idea where Ran Mouri had gone all day yesterday. Now, seeing Ran return to the Mouri Detective Agency, a hint of gossip crept into her mind.

"Xiao Lan, where have you been?"

Sonoko Suzuki leaned forward, her fingers resting on her chin, looking inquisitive.

As everyone knows, she's the information queen of Teitan High School. There's no gossip in Teitan High School that she doesn't know, and of course, she can't miss out on her best friend's gossip either.

To this, Ran Mouri gave a somewhat strange reply.
"Ah, Sonoko, didn't you know?"

“I remember they sent you a message. We went on a short trip to a nearby town and just got back. Oh, right, we have a new student transferring into our class.”

"Although he hasn't officially joined the class yet, he's already been invited to participate in this class reunion trip!"

Suzuki Sonoko:?
Information? What information? I don't know!

Sonoko Suzuki quickly took her phone out of her pocket and glanced at it.

As a result, she found that there were indeed messages from her classmates in her unread messages. However, she was completely focused on how to help Chen En get through Suzuki Tomoko's torture later and did not notice them at all.

After that, I was just busy with this and that and didn't have time to check. It wasn't until now that I noticed there were still unread messages.

Sonoko Suzuki sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said...
"Oh dear, it seems I'll have to explain what happened to the other students next time I'm in class."

It's a group activity after all.

Being a bit of a loner isn't good either, otherwise she wouldn't be able to continue spying on other classmates.

However, Sonoko Suzuki's attention quickly shifted away from this, and she asked curiously,

"You said there's a new classmate? Who is it? What's their name? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri immediately replied,
"Well, how should I put it, isn't he a very cute boy?"

"That child looks a lot like the famous TV host Rena Mizunashi. His name is Eisuke Hondo. He told me yesterday that he was coming to my office today..."

"what?!"

Conan had already emerged from the internal staircase at some point.

Hearing Ran Mouri's words, he was as if struck by lightning, his face filled with shock and disbelief—there was actually a cute boy who came all the way to see Ran? Could it be that he was going to perform some kind of ridiculous confession in front of me?
Conan originally planned to visit Chen En's house as usual.

I was hoping to glean some information from Chen En to satisfy my curiosity, but as soon as I went downstairs, I heard this commotion, and my whole mind went blank.

Seeing Conan's expression, Sonoko Suzuki said with a grin,
"Oh dear, it seems our little detective is jealous."

"Ah-en, do you think that kid has a crush on Ran? But he's still too young for his age. He needs to grow up for at least another four or five years before he can compete with Kudo, right?"

Conan:?
I'm competing with myself?
Are you awake, members of the team?

A look of speechlessness appeared in Conan's eyes.

Ran Mouri reached out and ruffled Conan's hair, smiling as she spoke.

"I'm going up first, Conan."

Conan snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly.
"Ah, um... um, I understand, Sister Xiaolan."

Tick, tick, tick.

The footsteps gradually moved upwards.

Conan knew without turning his head that Ran Mouri had most likely gone upstairs to find Uncle Mouri.

However, he was more concerned about what Hondo Eisuke, whom Ran Mouri referred to as "that child," looked like, and that was the one who was coming over later.

Seriously, I want to see how many percent of my handsomeness you have!

—Hondo Eisuke.

Chen En could not possibly be completely unaware of this name.

This is the younger brother of a CIA agent codenamed Kir, whose alias is Rena Mizunashi and real name is Hidemi Hondo. He is actually quite intelligent, but he is too careless in his work, so much so that others often have to clean up his messes or assist him.

Since Hondo Eisuke has appeared in Tokyo, it means that Kir has also appeared online.

But, having said that.

Chen En has not seen any trace of Gil's existence to this day.

This codenamed member of the Black Organization seems to have a similar presence in the manga to her character in Beika Town. She doesn't seem to have a very high profile in the town now, unless it were because Rena Mizunashi was the host who was kidnapped by Black Mask.

He may have forgotten that the Black Organization still has a member with this codename in the Tokyo area.

Standing next to Chen En, Sonoko Suzuki, with her arm linked with his, couldn't help but laugh at Conan's expression, as if someone owed her a fortune.

However, before Sonoko Suzuki could even smile, a figure had already appeared not far away.

—Here comes a new student!

Conan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Thanks to Ran Mouri's previous description, he was able to instantly identify the new classmate by his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi—it must be said, this bespectacled guy.

He can certainly be described as a "beautiful boy".

With delicate features and fair skin, she looks a bit dull and rather androgynous.

"Hondo Eisuke..."

Conan muttered to himself,

"This guy looks dangerous..."

"Shouldn't we investigate this?"
