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

Chapter 714 Lion Pendant
"I'm a little curious..."

"Now that Hondo Eisuke has found his sister, why is he still trying to get close to Conan? Does he really want to learn deduction skills?"

Ai Haibara stepped back slightly.

She came to Chen En's side and asked.

between words.

She didn't forget to glance up at Kuvatro, her gaze lingering on the strange attire of the mysterious blond man in sunglasses.

This kind of clothing is still a bit too ahead of its time.

If we say the current time is 1999.

Therefore, Cuvatro's costume should have appeared in 2087, 98 years later.

I'm not entirely comfortable with this kind of aesthetic...

"Is that what you're asking?"

Chen En's gaze fell on Sera Masumi beside him, ignoring the fact that Kuvatro was also listening.

He said it bluntly.

"Because Shuichi Akai suddenly died."

"So the FBI's Tokyo branch agents were preparing to compensate Shuichi Akai's family, but they happened to run into Sera Masumi, who looked a lot like him."

"After inquiry and confirmation."

"FBI agent Jodie Starling has confirmed that Sera Masumi and her sister are indeed Shuichi Akai's family members."

"Therefore, we established a cooperative relationship with them."

"That is to say."

"In the eyes of the CIA, Sera Masumi should now be a reserve member of the FBI, and Hondo Eisuke, who calls himself a CIA reserve member, will naturally keep a close eye on Sera Masumi."

"After all, the FBI and CIA have always been irreconcilable enemies, and Sera Masumi's appearance was originally meant to replace Hondo Eisuke's niche."

"Under normal circumstances."

"If Hondo Eisuke hadn't left the scene, Sera Masumi, who was also a transfer student, shouldn't have appeared to take over his niche."

Haibara Ai:?
What is meant by inheriting an ecological niche?

I hadn't heard you mention this in the past few days, and I thought your mental state had improved. Now it seems your old illness has relapsed.

Are you going to say next that this world is an anime, and that Sera Masumi and Hondo Eisuke don't get along because they have the same roles?
"because I?"

Kuvatro frowned.

what is this?
Is this situation caused by his inheritance? And how did Jodie manage to find Sera Masumi?
What is Judy's current identity again...?

She seems to be an English teacher at Teitan High School.

Generally speaking, she should have given up her disguise as an English teacher by now, so why is she still using that identity?
What are they trying to investigate?
Kuvatro frowned slightly.

He felt the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to handle, especially since Kiel was still following behind...

"Yes, because of Shuichi Akai's legacy."

"Perhaps for MI6, Shuichi Akai's death was greater than all the contributions he made in his life."

Ai Haibara retorted mercilessly.

This statement came out.

Kuvatro paused for a moment.

Although this statement is very offensive, upon closer examination, it doesn't seem to be entirely wrong.

All his contributions to the FBI had absolutely nothing to do with MI6, yet MI6 was able to benefit from his death.

Isn't his death more significant than his contributions throughout his life?

"Huh? There's an entrance fee..."

"I've completely forgotten about it!"

Sera Masumi sighed.

She stroked her chin, then began to consider the possibility of finding a nearby viewer to buy the ticket.

For most people, it would be unlikely, but if she were to take action, it would be somewhat feasible.

She was confident in her looks and thought she could fool other girls without much trouble...?
"Hmph, it seems your evil plan is going to fail." Hondo Eisuke took advantage of Professor Agasa leading the Detective Boys to the circus area to check tickets and came to Sera Masumi's side to mock her in a low voice.

It doesn't matter if he can't get in.

Anyway, he had absolutely no interest in these kinds of animal performances.

However, it's important that Sera Masumi can't get in either.

According to a certain panda gentleman...

The misfortunes of others are my happiness.

This statement also applies to the relationship between the CIA and the FBI.

Sera Masumi:?
You little brat...

Do you really think Jeet Kune Do can't beat you? Believe me or not, I can give you a flying kick that sends you flying five meters away.
Sera Masumi's eyes turned dangerous.

"I'm saying...don't you have anything else to do? What's the point of following me around all day?"

Sera Masumi stared at Hondo Eisuke.

This kid is really troublesome.

They were talking about things between the FBI and the CIA, making it sound like just because my older brother is an FBI agent, I have to become one too.

Not everyone enjoys being a secret agent for the United States; if you're going to be one, be a London agent.

"...Then I'll stop here."

Kuvatro's voice rang out.

The sound caught Sera Masumi's attention. She looked up in the direction Kuvatro had moved, and then looked at the entrance to the circus grounds.

After a moment's thought.

Sera Masumi made up her mind.

When making multiple-choice questions, you shouldn't hesitate for too long, otherwise you'll miss out on both opportunities and end up with nothing.

She might be able to buy tickets to the circus from someone else.

However, the probability of failure is very high.

As mentioned before.

Pandas hold considerable appeal for people in this country, and those who come specifically for the pandas are unlikely to sell tickets to them.

Rather than wasting a lot of time and ending up empty-handed, she might as well do something else.

For example, confirming Cuvatro's true identity.

Just now on the bus, Sera Masumi felt that Kuvatro's Jeet Kune Do skills were very similar to her older brother, Shuichi Akai.

Now, Curtello is preparing to leave.

She knew that if she missed this opportunity, there was a high probability that she would never have another chance encounter with him.

Conan refreshes his profile at the Mouri Detective Agency every day. She goes there at the same time every day to wait and always has a chance to test Conan's true identity.

But Cuvatro missed it, and that's it.

I once had an opportunity, but I didn't cherish it. However, if I were given another chance, I would definitely win it all back.

"I want a phone charm."

Wearing a red hood, Ai Haibara pointed to the shop next to the circus area and spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen En's gaze shifted to the only mobile phone pendant hanging in the attached shop.

This is a white lion pendant.

It is said to be a special pendant of the white lion, the mascot of this circus, and can only be purchased during circus performances. It is a nice souvenir.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen En nodded and did not refuse.

He immediately led Ai Haibara toward the attached shop, while Sera Masumi had no doubt about Ai Haibara's true identity and chased after Kuvatro in the direction he was moving.

Hondo Eisuke was stunned.

Is this... also part of the FBI's evil plan? It doesn't seem like it...

Could it be that they just want my contact information? Should I go after them or not? Or should I meet up with my sister first?
