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

Chapter 840 Fukui Prefecture Police Braving the Storm
"Kazuha, do you know?"

"Chen En was swindled out of one trillion seven hundred and seventy billion US dollars!"

Hattori Heiji earnestly told Toyama Kazuha, who was standing next to him.

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha gasped.

One trillion seven hundred and seventy billion US dollars?

That's 277.212 trillion yen.

Did they buy the entire United States?

Where did all this money come from?

Also, who is Chen En?
A hint of doubt appeared in Toyama Kazuha's eyes.

After a while, she remembered.

It seems that Hattori Heiji mentioned Chen En before.

He said Chen En knew who the volleyball girl he saw back then was her first love.

Then he complained about why Chen En hadn't told him who he really was.

But apart from hearing it from Heiji Hattori.

Yuanshan and Ye had never seen Chen En.

In her mind, Chen En was a mysterious figure who was rarely seen.

Now, Hattori Heiji says that Chen En was swindled out of 277.212 trillion yen.

He suddenly transformed back into someone who was foolish and rich.

This is really scary.

How can one person be so rich?
Seeing the shocked expression on Toyama Kazuha's face.

"Heiji Hattori said with a grin," said the man standing next to him.

"Kazuha, I was just kidding."

"How could anyone have been scammed out of 277.212 trillion yen?"

Hearing this, He Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to laugh and scold him, Hattori Heiji teased her again, and then she heard Hattori Heiji speak.

"Actually, we were only scammed out of 1.777 trillion yen."

Kazuha Toyama: ?
Is there any difference between these two numbers?

That's already an astronomical figure, isn't it?

Is this really a debt that an individual can afford to incur?

What exactly did Chen En buy?

Is he trying to create a real-life version of Showa-era American stories?
For a moment, Kazuha Toyama was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Her gaze fell on Hattori Heiji's face.

It seemed they wanted to see Hattori Heiji's face to indicate that he was lying.

But Hattori Heiji's expression was very serious.

Kazuha Toyama was shocked once again.

Is he that rich?
Why have I never heard of this before?

Could it be someone on some global rich list?

This name sounds like it belongs to someone from a mysterious Eastern superpower.

Are there really people that rich over there?

Various questions piled up in Toyama Kazuha's mind.

Then she heard Ran Mouri exclaim in surprise from not far away.

"What?! Two hundred and seventy-seven trillion, two hundred and thirtieth twenty billion yen?!"

Several question marks appeared on the distant mountains and leaves.

When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

She turned her head to look in the direction of Ran Mouri.

Conan was telling Ran Mouri about this astronomical figure with a serious expression.

Hearing Ran Mouri's exclamation, Kogoro Mouri poked his head out from outside the door.

Several question marks appear above the head of this sleeping detective.

Maori Kogoro:?

What happened?
He immediately asked for 277.212 trillion yen?

Is Japan finally about to sink, and is it now raising funds for its refugee program?

Kogoro Mouri came to Ran Mouri's side.

He said angrily.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"What? Two hundred and seventy-seven trillion two hundred and twentieth billion yen? That's terrifying!"

Ran Mouri quickly spoke to Kogoro Mouri.

"Dad, Aunt Kudo just called Conan and told him that Chen En has been scammed out of 277.212 trillion yen and is on the verge of bankruptcy!"

Maori Kogoro:?

Is it too late to cut it now?
Oh my, I'm so scared!
Is this an astronomical figure that a small detective like me could possibly hear?

Kogoro Mouri's gaze immediately fell on Conan's head.

He clenched his fist.

He went straight for it with a Mori-style punch. "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"How could that brat Chen En be swindled out of so much money? Could he possibly have 277.212 trillion yen?"

Conan, who had been hit, crouched down to defend himself, covering his head.

He covered his swollen red bump and said with tears in his eyes.

"Actually, there aren't that many left."

Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri breathed a sigh of relief.

I'll just say it.

The next moment, Conan said.

"Actually, it's only 1.777 trillion yen."

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri: ?

It feels like Chen En is about to be kicked out of the Suzuki Group.

Should we help Chen En out sometime?

But it seems like people deserve to be scammed so much.

Kogoro Mouri was filled with regret and sorrow.

"Chen En, you're confused."

As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

"With so much money, you want me to scam you? After I'm done, I can even give you half!"

Ran Mouri turned her head and gave Kogoro Mouri a disapproving look.

Sensing Ran Mouri's gaze, Kogoro Mouri immediately became serious.

He coughed twice and said seriously.

"Ahem, I think Yukiko must have misheard, right?"

"If the signal here weren't so bad, I would have called Chen En to confirm the details."

"Don't worry, the problem won't be that serious."

"At worst, I can just file for personal bankruptcy."

Although life will be a bit tough then.

However, with his help, things won't be too bad.

Hearing what Kogoro Mori said.

Conan twitched his lips.

Even if Chen En really goes bankrupt.

It would be a piece of cake for him to make a comeback, right?

After all, Chen En possessed electronic technology that was ahead of its time.

There's also the Noah's Ark, a super artificial intelligence located in the Bat Cave.

To put it more seriously...

If Chen En goes bankrupt, it's basically the same as Japan going bankrupt...?
"Excuse me, what are you all shouting about here?"

A rather impolite voice rang out.

A police officer with a very serious expression appeared in sight, accompanied by a group of county police officers.

This group of people were clearly prefectural police officers from Fukui Prefecture.

Upon seeing their appearance, Conan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Yesterday, when the heinous murder occurred...

The Fukui Prefectural Police Headquarters said the waves were too high to go out to sea.

So I can't get here right now.

As a result, we braved the wind and waves and crossed the river today.

These people are really dedicated.

If the prefectural police in other places were all at the same level as the prefectural police at the Fukui Prefectural Police Headquarters...

Detectives have all been out of work for a long time.

"Oh, I'm sorry, we were just talking about a friend's debt problem."

Kogoro Mouri smiled ingratiatingly.

Upon hearing this, the Fukui Prefectural Police Inspector frowned.

"What debt problem? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"How much do you owe that you call yourself that?"

Heiji Hattori, who was standing next to him, put his hands behind his head and said with a grin.

"It owes 1.777 trillion yen."

How many? !
The police inspector of Fukui Prefecture gasped in shock.

Then he said.

"I understand your grief, but please keep your voices down and don't disrupt our investigation."

"Want a cigarette? I'll have one with you."

He took a cigarette out of his pocket.

Maori Kogoro:?

That's what you call humane treatment.
