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

Chapter 1270 The Destined Loser

Just as lunchtime ended, Hattori Heiji left the restaurant with Chen En.

He looked at Chen En with a somewhat suspicious gaze.

I still remember what Chen En said in the taxi about having a fiancée in Kyoto Prefecture. I was a little suspicious that Chen En might have known about this all along, so I immediately asked him.

"Hey, you don't actually know about the agreement I made with that guy named Ooka Momiji, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En answered without hesitation.

"I know she misheard 'strongly' (tsuyomeni) in the agreement as 'marry me' (yomeni), which caused the misunderstanding and led to this situation."

Hattori Heiji:?

Why didn't you say so sooner?

It's hardened; its fists have hardened.

Seeing that Hattori Heiji seemed about to make a move, Chen En continued.

Do you think Ooka Momiji is the kind of person who would give up after hearing just one sentence?

“She’s remembered those words for ten years. If you think you can win by simply telling her you misheard, you’re making a huge mistake… You have to show her Kazuha’s determination for you before you bring it up.”

...Don't you feel guilty saying things like that?

Hattori Heiji's eyes held a hint of suspicion.

However, upon closer reflection, he had told Ooka Momiji several times that there was no such thing, and even if there were, he had never said that sentence, and Ooka Momiji seemed to completely ignore him.

Maybe he'll just tell Ooka Momiji that she misheard him.

This young lady from the Ooka family might even contradict Tiangang and say he remembered wrong. Although Chen En's statement sounds absurd, it actually makes a lot of sense upon reflection...

Hattori Heiji had just nodded thoughtfully when he suddenly looked up at Chen En.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by Kazuha's determination towards me?"

"I'm telling you not to talk nonsense."

"I'm not officially in a relationship with Kazuha right now. If this gets out, Kazuha will be in a very difficult position. Don't talk about this to others like this in the future."

Haven't you two already essentially confirmed your relationship?

They just didn't say it out loud.

Chen En blinked and took a sip of coffee.

Oh, to be precise, all of you high school detectives are like this.

Except for Hakuba Saguru.

It's not because Hakuba Saguru is more decisive.

It's simply because Hakuba Saguru doesn't have a childhood sweetheart to match him.

If you say that Hakuba Saguru's childhood friend is Watson, the hawk perched on his shoulder, then there's no way to explain it.

Tell me, did Hakuba Saguru confess his feelings to his falcon a long time ago?

Although this incident happened in the middle.

However, Kogoro Mouri remained determined to visit Kyoto and enjoy the cherry blossoms while drinking under the cherry trees, so he eventually asked Heiji Hattori to lead the group.

Meanwhile, Heiji Hattori was feeling a bit down and was planning to have a few drinks to relax.

Okita Souji, Tetsuyuu, and Chen Ensuki Sonoko formed another team and headed to Tetsuyuu's house.

Ran Mouri stayed with Kazuha Toyama, following Kogoro Mouri and Heiji Hattori. During the trip, she comforted and encouraged Kazuha, reminding her that there's always a way out.

……

Tetsuko's home is not in the city.

After Chen En got into the car with Tie Zhuyu, he realized that the vehicle was moving further and further out of the city. He immediately realized why he couldn't find Tie Meizhizi's address.

This place is located far from populated areas, so it's normal that it can't be found.

Okita Souji, sitting in the passenger seat, looked around, seemingly having some recollection of the surrounding situation.

He did have some impression of the scenery that flashed by.

As mentioned before, he and Tetsuken have been rivals since childhood, so he often visited Tetsuken's house with Tetsuken Juro when he was still at home.

But after growing up, Tetsuken Juro had long since disappeared without a trace, and Tetsuken had vanished as well.

He never went to Tie Jian's house again, and he didn't remember how to get there.

Moreover, it is unknown whether Tetsuken Juro moved after he and Tetsuken Michiko separated, which is why he said he had no idea where Tetsuken Michiko lived.

Looking at the surrounding scenery now, it's clear that this is still the same home we used to live in!

But that's not surprising...

Meanwhile, Sonoko Suzuki was in the back seat whispering with Chen En about the relationship between Heiji Hattori, Kazuha Toyama, and Momiji Ooka. After learning the details, Sonoko couldn't help but complain.

"Wow, that guy always uses puns and homophones to brush things off."

"I never thought I'd be the one getting messed with because of a homonym... What goes around comes around, no one escapes the wrath of heaven. But looking at it this way, Kazuha seems a bit too pitiful, doesn't she?"

After stroking her chin and thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be the case.

Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori are childhood friends.

Although the two have not officially announced their relationship as a couple, they are practically a couple in reality, and it seems like there is no way they can be broken up.

In this light, although Ooka Momiji is currently displaying a fierce momentum, she seems to be destined to be a loser.

The promise she had kept for ten years turned out to be a mishearing. And the relationship between Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha was almost inseparable. Compared to that, doesn't Ooka Momiji seem more pitiful?

Thinking about this, Sonoko Suzuki finally shrugged.

"It's really complicated, but thankfully you don't have such complicated situations around you, Arn."

"Otherwise, it will be a real mess."

I wasn't even in this world before, so how could there be such a complicated situation?

Chen En thought to himself.

He is a true visitor from outer space.

If he has such complicated interpersonal relationships here, that would be terrible.

This novel should probably be turned into a Conan romance novel by now, right?

Judging from the author's description of romantic relationships, it's clear that the author is completely ignorant about this, and such a possibility is entirely nonexistent... Yes, that's it.

Soon, the Tie family's manor came into view.

The reason why Okita Souji felt that he wouldn't be surprised even if Tetsu Michiko didn't move was because the Tetsu family's estate was very large... covering a considerable area.

Even if the Iron Group doesn't exist in this worldview.

However, this does not diminish the fact that the Tetsu family's wealth is indeed enormous, although it is not in the same league as the Suzuki and Ooka families, who are behemoths in the Kanto and Kansai regions.

After arriving at the gate of the Tie family manor, Tie Zhuyu opened the car door, went to the gate, and spoke to the butler.

"This is my friend. He wants to meet with my mother about his brother."

"Please help me inform my mother."

Chapter 1271 The Demon Sword of Dinglan Reappears

With the news of the Iron Sword as a stepping stone, Chen En soon met the current head of the Iron family.

Tetsuya Chiko.

Although this woman was older than most of the people present, she still looked young, just like Hattori Shizuka, whose real age was impossible to guess.

Judging from the fact that Tetsuya Chiko was able to make Hattori Shizuka cry back then.

Tetsuya Chiko's personality is also quite decisive, resolute, and uncompromising.

It's understandable that someone like this would want to take advantage of Tetsukurugi after he separated from her, which was practically equivalent to him abandoning her. However, she still cares about Tetsukurugi.

No matter what, Tie Jian was her own son.

Although I was kidnapped by that bastard Tetsuken Juro when I was a child.

But they are also blood relatives.

Now that the Iron Sword has been missing for so long, Tetsuya Chiko is naturally very worried about it. That's why she met with Chen En and the others as soon as they sat down and asked them directly.

"Sir, you say you know the current situation of Iron Sword."

"Then I'd like to ask you, where is the iron sword now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En answered without hesitation.

"The Iron Sword is on Mars now."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked.

Okita Souji, who had originally been trying to find out where the Iron Sword was, spat out his tea upon hearing this. He turned to look at Chen En in disbelief, completely not expecting Chen En to say such a thing.

Wait, wait, wait, are you kidding me? Iron Sword is on Mars right now?

Why don't you say he's on Jupiter, Mercury, or Uranus?

Is it because there is a possibility that life exists on Mars?

Upon hearing this, Okita Souji looked troubled. He glanced at Tetsuya Chiko's changing expression before whispering a reminder.

“Mr. Chen En, I suggest you tell the truth.”
