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

Chapter 503 Caused by Not Installing a Locator
"Really, he's not home. I wonder where he went."

On the street in front of Chen En's apartment, Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself, sounding somewhat annoyed.

Ran Mouri, who was standing next to him, responded to Kogoro Mouri's words with some concern.

"Hmm, that's a bit worrying... I feel like Mr. Gamo might really be in some serious trouble..."

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri sighed and said,
"There's nothing we can do about it. I've already called the police. We can only do anything if the officers can find the person, right?"

—After leaving them a strange phone message, Gamo Ryozo disappeared without a trace.

He and Ran went to Gamo Ryozo's house to look for him, but they couldn't even get in. They had no choice but to call the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to report him missing, and then sheepishly returned to the detective agency to wait for news.

However, according to Kogoro Mouri's conservative estimate, the earliest they can find him is tomorrow morning.

"But Dad, hasn't this investigation taken a little too long?"

"It's been so many days, and we still haven't found a single clue. If Mr. Gamo is really in despair because Dad hasn't found any leads, then this must be affecting you, Dad, right?"

Ran Mouri said with a hint of complaint.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri blushed and hurriedly uttered strange remarks such as, "How can the time required for a famous detective's case be described as long?" and "I'm not completely clueless either; at least I've talked to the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

Listen to the conversation between Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri on the street.

Conan gripped the windowsill with both hands and swallowed hard.

—Buhao, he forgot that the Mori father and daughter weren't home!
I should have just gone home instead of coming to Chen En's apartment. If Uncle Mori goes back to his room to sleep and doesn't see him, he might get a beating from Mori's Divine Fist tomorrow morning!

After all, the excuse he gave Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri for not investigating was that he was "tired".

"Aren't you going back?"

Chen En took a sip of coffee and asked,

“If you go back now, just say you were worried and came out to check on them. I thought it wasn’t safe for a little kid like you to be out there, so I deliberately asked you to stay at my house for a while until they came back. Then you can go out to see them.”

"It would be really difficult if Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri actually got home and then found out you weren't at the office."

Hearing this, Conan sighed.

He shook his head and said,
"Never mind, anyway, when Uncle finds out I'm missing, he'll definitely make a scene, and then Xiaolan will call me to ask where I am. I'll talk to him when he calls."

"That's not the important thing right now. What's important is the whereabouts of Furuya Zero."

"How is it? Did you find any information about Rei Furuya at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department? I just called the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and they are excavating the abandoned warehouse to search for possible victims."

"They said the abandoned warehouse was empty, and only bloodstains could be found at the scene. Furuya Rei must have left."

"It's just that we don't know whether Furuya Rei left voluntarily or was forced to leave—for example, whether the warehouse was just a torture site and Furuya Rei was taken away after the torture, or whether Furuya Rei escaped before the explosion started."

"Honestly, they're such a headache. If they let us install a locator, all these problems would be solved."

At this point, Conan couldn't help but feel regretful. If only Rei Furuya had a tracking device installed, things wouldn't have come to this.

This isn't control, it's love!

Chen En, standing beside him, nodded in agreement before answering Conan's earlier question.

“I went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to ask, and the Japanese public security officers there had clear eyes and seemed to really know nothing about this matter.”

"From this perspective, it's impossible for Rei Furuya to have faked his death and escaped without telling Yuya Kazami."

"Therefore, Rei Furuya's departure was either intentionally orchestrated by the Black Organization's executioners, or he escaped unexpectedly in some way."

"Sigh, if only Rei Furuya would let us install a few tracking devices on our bodies."

Chen En sighed as he spoke. He had previously placed a locator on Furuya Rei, but after being attacked, Furuya Rei became more vigilant and removed all the locators. Otherwise, the incident would have been resolved very easily.

In other words, he couldn't find out where Furuya Rei lived, otherwise he would have gone there overnight and sewed tracking devices onto all of Furuya Rei's clothes.

Let's see how Zero Kyouya removes the locator then.

"Why can you all talk about this so confidently? It's one thing for Chen En to do this, but why do you, Shinichi Kudo, do the same?"

Ai Haibara turned to look at Conan.

She frowned and said,

"You haven't already done something like secretly putting a GPS tracker on someone, have you?"

That truly shows how morals have declined and how people's hearts have lost their traditional values.

Shinichi Kudo, I never thought someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes like you could do something like this!
Conan:?
Conan scratched his head in confusion and replied with dissatisfaction.

"Haibara, you make it sound like something so convenient, but you wouldn't use it even if I gave it to you."

"I told you not to use this useful thing, but you're determined to use it no matter what! Otherwise, why would you take my special non-prescription glasses?"

"To cosplay Clark Kent?"

Haibara Ai:?
She retorted without any politeness.
"At least it's not a cosplay of Cardcaptor Sakura."

Conan:?
Forget it, I won't stoop to your level.

Conan stroked his chin.

To be honest, he felt that his morals had never been this low before. He didn't know why his morals had gradually declined, to the point that he was even capable of secretly planting tracking devices and listening devices.

This must be due to Chen En's influence...

If Chen En knew, he would be questioning this at this point.

No kidding.

Before Chen En traveled through time, Conan was already a master at planting trackers and listening devices.

Otherwise, how did Conan manage to track her down and save Akemi Miyano at the last moment? Was it all thanks to his protagonist aura?
Didi————

The phone rings.

Conan took out his phone, pressed the call button, and just as he put the phone to his ear, Kogoro Mouri's voice came through.

"Hey, where have you been?"

"Hey kid, didn't you tell me you were sleepy and going to bed? Why did you sneak out? Where are you now?"

"The town of Beika has been rather unsafe lately, so don't wander around."

"If there's nothing else, come back now. If you're going to stay at Professor Agasa's house, then forget it."

Hearing this, Conan quickly replied that he would be right back, then hung up the phone, looked at Chen En, and asked,

"By the way, do you know what happened to Gamo Ryozo?"

Chen En stroked his chin and said.

"I can't say for sure, but if he's still alive tomorrow, I'll send him to jail."

Conan:?
Why? What does it mean?

　Sorry, I'm too sleepy. I'll make up for the three missing chapters tomorrow.
