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

Hattori Heiji was a little dazed when he suddenly found himself in the cabin.

He turned to look at the interior of the Batplane and the various high-end-looking precision instruments, then looked up at Chen En, unsure whether to marvel at the high quality of the Batplane or the high quality of Batman's power.

After enjoying the Batplane for a while, Hattori Heiji reluctantly disembarked with Chen En.

Standing in the room, he looked back at the bat-shaped airplane that was gradually becoming transparent.

Finally unable to contain his curiosity, he asked.

"Hey, Chen En, how exactly did you manage to make this plane automatically follow and fly back?"

"Could it be that this plane is equipped with intelligent AI, just like in science fiction movies?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En took a sip of coffee and looked at Hattori Heiji with an expression as if he were an idiot.

After a while, when Hattori Heiji was starting to get a little uneasy, he finally sighed and said.

"Noah's Ark is already in my Bat Cave, and you're still asking me if I have intelligent AI?"

"Is this something that's difficult to do?"

Hattori Heiji then came to his senses and scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Oh dear, what a mess this is.

I almost forgot about it until you mentioned it, but it seems there really was such a thing.

To cover his embarrassment, he immediately went back to his bed, pulled the covers over himself, coughed twice in a serious manner, and said in a low voice.

"Ahem, it's so late, let's go to sleep first."

However, Chen En simply sat on the chair by the bed, looking up something on his laptop.

The glowing lights on the phone and computer screens caught the attention of Hattori Heiji, who was preparing to go to sleep.

At that moment, the famous detective from Kansai suddenly looked up and asked curiously.

What are you doing?

"It's almost dawn now, you're not really not going to sleep, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En merely glanced at Hattori Heiji before turning back to the screen of his phone and computer, replying calmly.

"It's already past five o'clock, and your ticket to Osaka Prefecture is for 9:45 in the morning."

"If you only have this little bit of time, there's no point in taking a nap. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. I hope Ye and I won't have to carry you onto the bullet train tomorrow."

Hattori Heiji:?

What you're saying seems to make sense.

He didn't ask any more questions about his experience in Tokyo. He immediately lay down on the bed, covered his head with the blanket, and forced himself to fall asleep. However, the more he tried to sleep, the more he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Finally, Hattori Heiji sat up abruptly, pulled up a chair and sat next to Chen En, and said earnestly.

"I think I might also become the Kansai Batman."

"In order to become Batman, I think I need to learn your schedule first. I'm not sleeping tonight either... Can you tell me what's going on in Tokyo?"

"I'm just taking precautions, otherwise it would be troublesome if a big problem arises in the Kansai region as well."

...Speaking of which, isn't Ooka Momiji also one of the main characters in the storyline?

Chen En did not answer, but instead kept his gaze on the screen while his mind wandered back to the present.

He remembered that this was something Gosho Aoyama mentioned in a manga interview.

In this light, it seems that the former prime minister of the Ooka family is also somewhat connected to the Black Organization. However, if he doesn't make another public appearance to give a campaign speech, he probably won't be shot twice.

He did not try to persuade Hattori Heiji.

Anyway, Heiji Hattori's face is already so dark, even if his dark circles are a little bit heavier, no one can tell, so there's no difference between staying up all night and not staying up all night.

So the night passed by as Chen En researched information and explained the situation in Tokyo to Hattori Heiji.

The next morning, everyone left their rooms, took their luggage, and came to the lobby, ready to take a taxi to the train station to catch the train to Osaka Prefecture. They were all startled by Hattori Heiji's appearance.

Kogoro Mouri looked him up and down, then exclaimed in shock.

"You didn't get completely thrashed by Xiaolan at mahjong last night, and then spent the whole night studying how to play, did you?"

"Or did you go out and commit thievery night?"

"Look how well Chen En looks next to you!"

Hattori Heiji:?

Is that a person?

He doesn't sleep at all, how can I compete with him?

Chapter 1166 The Puppet Master

The train bound for Osaka Prefecture departed as scheduled early in the morning.

Unseen by others, Noah's Ark was maneuvering its bat-plane to follow the train at a constant speed, maintaining a position consistent with the train's pace.

On the train, Hattori Heiji, who had originally claimed to be the Batman of Kansai, was now yawning repeatedly.

Even though his skin was dark.

However, the darker area around his eyes made it immediately clear that he had probably stayed up all night and was clearly not getting enough rest.

Kazuha Toyama, sitting next to Heiji Hattori, was speechless.

She was Hattori Heiji's childhood friend.

My first thought was that Heiji Hattori must have discovered something interesting last night, and then secretly went out to investigate all night, only returning close to dawn.

But she doesn't seem to have heard of any serious murders in Hyogo Prefecture.

Furthermore, if Hattori Heiji had solved the case overnight, he would definitely have been bragging to her this morning. But Hattori Heiji hasn't said a word until now, which is very strange.

Kazuha Toyama moved closer to Heiji Hattori, staring at the yawning Heiji.

This sudden act of care caught Hattori Heiji somewhat off guard.

Hattori Heiji looked around for a moment, then coughed twice and asked.

"Kazuha, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Is there something strange on my face?"

Hearing this, Kazuha Toyama finally asked the question that had been on her mind.

"Did you go out and do something behind my back last night?"

Her eyes held a hint of inquiry.

Heiji Hattori, meanwhile, scratched the back of his head and burst into laughter.

"how can that be possible?"

"Didn't the uncle just deduce the reason why I'm like this? It's because I played mahjong with Sister Xiaolan last night, and I was so impressed by her skills that I spent the whole night studying them."

To this, Toyama Kazuha asked with some curiosity.

"So, have you figured out how to defeat Ran?"

I beat a basket, I beat Xiaolan.

Heiji Hattori was silent for a moment, then managed to utter four words.

"Don't fight her."

As the saying goes, nine out of ten gamblers lose; not gambling is the way to win.

As long as you don't play cards with Ran Mouri, you won't lose.

As for defeating Ran Mouri, let's forget about that...

Although Hattori Heiji was actually waiting for Chen En to return in the Batplane last night, wanting to experience the interior of this high-tech aircraft.

But I was also somewhat concerned about my experience playing cards with Ran Mouri last night.

This guy's luck with cards is incredible.

Every time I see her play all sorts of amazing hands that would be impossible under normal circumstances.

Heiji Hattori had been suspecting Ran Mouri of cheating since the last few rounds of the game.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ran Mouri, but under normal circumstances, how could someone be a master every single time? Either the cards weren't shuffled, or there was cheating. How could someone's luck be that good?

He didn't believe in this superstition, so he stared at Ran Mouri for the entire night.

Then he discovered that Ran Mouri's luck was truly off the charts.

So Hattori Heiji believed in superstition and smiled with relief.

There is no way to defeat someone like that.

Unless you cheat at the game.

But how could a renowned detective from Kansai possibly cheat at a card game? That would be too petty and would damage the image of Kansai people in the Kanto region.

Therefore, Heiji Hattori came up with the final method to ensure victory.

"I find playing cards simple and boring. Let's take a look at a reasoning puzzle instead."

Kazuha Toyama: ?

You can just say it directly: you have no idea how to defeat her.

I won't laugh at you for not being able to beat me.

If you actually say it, then that's another story.

Seeing that Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori seemed to be discussing the card game that happened last night, Sonoko Suzuki asked Chen En curiously.

"Ah, did you go out last night?"

"I saw the uncle go to your room to call you, but only Hattori Heiji came down. You didn't come down with him, and I haven't seen you since. Did you take the opportunity to run outside and have Hattori Heiji cover for you?"
