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

"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush."

"However, I think it will be over soon..."

This is what the celebrity, who has appeared on television many times, said.

This immediately surprised Hattori Shizuka.

Could it be that the other party is really that confident in their own abilities?

Even if she weren't wielding a wooden sword, but a folding fan instead, the intimidating power she would have been wouldn't be much less than Hattori Heiji wielding a wooden sword. Is Chen En so confident that he can defeat her in a short time?

Hattori Shizuka opened the folding fan in her hand, covering half of her face, and said in a low voice.

"In that case, let's have a match."

To show her respect and because she suspected Chen En might actually have the skill, Hattori Shizuka went to fetch her wooden sword and invited Chen En to come outside the house for a duel.

Chen En readily agreed and went out with Hattori Shizuka.

Upon seeing that Hattori Shizuka was actually going to fight Chen En one-on-one, Hattori Heiji was overjoyed. He quickly packed his things, preparing to run away as soon as Hattori Shizuka fell.

The commotion also made Kogoro Mouri, who was also in the room, a little uneasy.

You're such a filial son.

Is he deliberately praising his own mother to death, making her fight a one-on-one match against an opponent she has no chance of winning?

If you do this, what will you do when you get home and face a double beating from your parents after you've finished investigating the Lupin III case? Will you put on a show like "This is Jack's first time fighting two monsters"?

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to say something, he saw Heiji Hattori suddenly turn around and ask.

"Uncle, don't you want to become famous in Osaka Prefecture?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was about to say something, was instantly silenced.

I really want to.

It is well known that the Kanto and Kansai regions have always been at odds.

Even though he is a nationally renowned detective, his main area of ​​activity is in the Kanto region, so he is not very popular in the Kansai region. However, if he can make a name for himself in the Kansai region, he will truly be the most famous detective in the country.

How could we let such a great opportunity slip by?

Kogoro Mouri also hurriedly packed the things he needed to take on his trip.

Seeing that Heiji Hattori and Kogoro Mouri had started packing their things, Ran Mouri couldn't help but sigh and mutter to herself.

"Dad and Heiji are really something..."

"Sonoko, do they really have that much faith in Mr. Chen En's abilities?"

Standing next to Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki simply smiled and said...

"Even if you say that, Ran, wasn't it A-En who quickly resolved the hostage situation at the Mouri Detective Agency last time?"

Besides, Arne is the legendary Batman, the first person to board a ship in mid-air.

Can other real-world superheroes perform aerial boarding maneuvers?

"...That does seem to make sense."

Ran Mouri blinked, but in the end, she had to admit it.

That really meant that with a single move, the person, along with the door, was sent flying out of the second floor of the Mouri Detective Agency.

She didn't even see clearly how Chen En made his move...

"In that case, shall we go out and check out the battle situation?"

She finally said it.

Chapter 1225 Tetsumi Chiko and the Tetsu Group

After packing their things for the trip, Kogoro Mouri and the others left the house and went straight to the courtyard.

At this point, the battle had not yet begun.

Chen En held his coffee cup, seemingly relaxed and content, as if he didn't take Hattori Shizuka, who was holding a wooden sword, seriously at all, and even had time to drink a few more sips.

Such an arrogant attitude is indeed somewhat unpleasant.

Standing opposite Chen En, Hattori Shizuka glanced sideways at Hattori Heiji and the others.

Upon seeing the things these people had packed, she knew they most likely intended to use the end of the competition as an excuse to run away. In that case, she couldn't afford to lose this competition.

Otherwise, this kid will really find an excuse to leave.

Therefore, Hattori Shizuka's eyes immediately became serious, and she gripped the handle of the wooden sword with both hands.

“Mr. Chen En, it seems I have to do my best.”

"...Watch out!"

She immediately shouted, as if to remind Chen En that she was about to make a move.

In the next instant, Hattori Shizuka's figure disappeared from the spot, and the wooden sword in her hand tore through the air and slashed towards Chen En's body. The power of the sword swing was clear to anyone who was watching.

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha couldn't help but let out a small gasp of surprise.

"Aunt Jinghua hit hard."

"I hope nothing has happened to Mr. Chen En."

These words immediately caused everyone else present to turn their heads to look at Toyama Kazuha.

Don't make your brother Chen laugh.

If a wooden sword could inflict real damage, Chen En would have been unable to survive in Tokyo long ago.

They immediately turned their heads back, but by then the battle was over.

Chen En was still leisurely holding his cup of coffee.

Meanwhile, the wooden sword in Hattori Shizuka's hand had quietly broken into two pieces, with one piece of the blade flying out and landing on the ground not far away.

This scene is just like the one that happened last night when Hattori Heiji challenged Chen En.

The only difference is that when Chen En made his move, he threw Hattori Heiji along with the wooden sword. This time, because it was inappropriate to throw his mother in front of Heiji, he only flicked the blade of the wooden sword.

As a top-level fighting master with advanced fighting expertise.

He was at the pinnacle of both strength and skill.

Therefore, Hattori Shizuka didn't even see clearly how Chen En made his move.

One second Chen En was holding a coffee, looking completely vulnerable, and the next second her wooden sword struck, only to miss completely. When she came to her senses, she realized that half of the wooden sword had disappeared, and she hadn't even felt any feedback.

"...That's truly an excellent technique for generating power."

Hattori Shizuka's gaze lingered briefly on the half of the wooden sword in her hand, then glanced at the other half of the wooden sword that had flown away, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

“I think even Michiko is not as good as Mr. Chen En in this aspect as you are in terms of power exertion skills.”

At that moment, she finally understood why Hattori Heiji's wooden sword had broken in two.

If Chen En's goal in fighting Hattori Heiji was to end the battle as quickly as possible, then using the instantaneous sword-breaking method would indeed have been faster... The young people of this era are truly remarkable.

If she had this skill when she was in high school, she would have been the champion of the kendo league, not Michiko Tsubaki.

"You flatter me."

Chen En took a sip of coffee.

In the previous exchange, not a single drop of coffee spilled from his cup.

This is enough to show just how outstanding his mastery of power generation techniques is.

Although we don't know exactly what happened in that brief moment, it's clear that the outcome is already decided.

Hattori Heiji immediately asked his mother with a grin.

"Hehe, Mom, now you have no reason to stop me, right?"

Hattori Shizuka, who was about to say a few more words, glared at Hattori Heiji after hearing his words and said something rather irritating.

"Alright, go ahead. With Mr. Chen En by your side, your safety should be assured."

"Honestly, she was so obedient and cute when she was little, why did she turn out like this when she grew up..."

Hattori Heiji simply gave a small cheer, then grabbed Toyama Kazuha and the others, preparing to set off.

He already had a plan on how to participate in the joint operation launched by the Osaka Police Headquarters and Interpol to arrest Lupin III without going through the Osaka Police Headquarters.

Now is the time to put it into practice.

However, Chen En was not in a hurry to leave. He took a sip of coffee and then asked in a low voice.

"I remember that Mrs. Hattori once fought against a female kendo practitioner named Michiko Tsubaki when she was in high school."

"Are you still in contact with Ms. Michiko?"

If Hattori Shizuka hadn't just mentioned Tsubaki Michiko...

Chen En probably wouldn't ask at this time.

After all, if Hattori Shizuka said that, it means that Tsubaki Michiko left a deep impression on Hattori Shizuka. Therefore, Hattori Shizuka probably knows some information about Tsubaki Michiko that cannot be found in the files.

Hattori Shizuka was only slightly surprised by this, and then said...

"Mr. Chen En, you've actually heard of Michiko?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Michiko went to university in Kyoto after graduating from high school, and then got married and settled down in Kyoto. After that, I only kept in touch with her at class reunions."

"I just heard that Michiko now has a daughter and a son, and her husband is often away from home, which is very distressing for her."

...Michiko Tsubaki, also known as Michiko Tetsu.

The mother of Tetsuken, the protagonist of the Legend of the Swordsman.

Chen En had previously encountered Sayaka Mine, the heroine of the Legend of the Sword Hero, when he was defusing a bomb in a shopping mall in the Ekoda area. Therefore, he became more interested in Tekken and Sayaka Mine and investigated Tekken's family situation.

Therefore, I have a fairly clear understanding of this matter.
