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

"Excuse me, sir, were you the one who stopped this crime?"

Inspector Megure glanced sideways at the terrified bank robbers, then looked at Chen En with even greater suspicion.

He couldn't see how the boy was as terrible as others had described.

Elusive and unpredictable skills? Extraordinary strength? Captivating charisma?

No, I can't see it at all. Did someone else point out the wrong person?

"Don't be nervous. You did a good deed this time, so I won't hold you responsible."

"However, you see, the bank robbers are already somewhat out of their minds."

“Even if other people testify, there is no way to prove that the bank employee you injured earlier was an accomplice of the robbers. Therefore, if necessary, you will still need to come with us to the police station to make a statement.”

Inspector Megure said in a kind tone.

Officer Takagi next to him was writing something with his head down.

Chen En breathed a sigh of relief at this.

Oh, what? So you weren't here to catch me. Never mind then.

However, since the bank robber named Saeki Toru is incoherent and cannot give a statement, should we take him back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with us?

Hmm... How can Batman stop a crime and then go to the police station with the police to give a statement?!

Chen En's eyes narrowed.

He immediately reached out his hand

He pointed to the college student he had been chatting with earlier.

"Inspector Megure, you can go to him."

"The recorder next to him was on the whole time, and it should have recorded everything that just happened. Combined with the surveillance footage in the bank lobby, the evidence should be sufficient, and I don't need to take any additional statements."

The college student who was sitting down was suddenly mentioned, and he subconsciously sat up straight.

He pointed to himself, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Huh? Me? How did you know I was recording the whole thing?"

Dude, I was reading comics the whole time, and the tape recorder was just sitting there. Any normal person would think it was off, right? You've never seen a tape recorder before, how did you know?

Is it on, or off?

"Because, I'm batman!"

As if by conditioned reflex, Chen En answered subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure, Wataru Takagi, and many other officers present all looked up at Chen En.

Mumu Police Department and others:?

We're using a question mark not because we think there's a problem, but because we think there's a problem with you.

After hesitating for a moment, Inspector Megure reached out and patted Chen En on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"Young people, don't get too obsessed with comics."

"Reading too many comics can easily lead to mental instability. You should go out for walks more often!"

The police officer next to him nodded in deep agreement.

In response, Chen En simply gave a bright smile and then said,

"Don't say that, Sheriff Gordon. Have you forgotten the time we worked together?"

The officers gasped and turned to look at Inspector Megure.

I never imagined that our old police inspector was so secretive!

Mu Mu Police Department:?

Oh no, I've gone crazy!

Chapter Seventeen: Summon Sheriff Gordon with the Bat-Lantern!

In most universes, there is always a bright red, beating conscience in Gotham City, and that is Commissioner Gordon.

Whenever Sheriff Gordon encounters a problem he can't solve, he lights up his Bat-Signal, and then the elusive Night Rider appears to help.

[Congratulations, host, on making contact with Commissioner Gordon! You have taken a major step towards becoming the fully-fledged Batman!]

When Commissioner Gordon encounters difficulties, the system will send out the Bat-Lights to inform Batman of Commissioner Gordon's location in real time! Helping Commissioner Gordon resolve tricky situations will earn you extra points!

Chen En refers to Inspector Megure as Chief Gordon.

It wasn't because Inspector Megure had just thought he had mental problems and was turning the tables on him; it was simply because the system popped up a new notification page the moment he came into contact with Inspector Megure.

Wow, Sheriff Gordon gets extra points for solving tricky cases when he's in trouble?

Isn't this a great thing?

As everyone knows, given Inspector Megure's abilities, any case in Beika Town would be a difficult one for him to solve. So isn't this just giving him free points?

Of course, cases like the one we just saw, where Inspector Megure hadn't even arrived before the case was over, were indeed a bit difficult to handle.

However, it's not that there's no way to solve it.

Chen En, with pure eyes and a sincere tone, took Inspector Megure's hand and said earnestly,

"Sheriff Gordon, may I write down your phone number?"

"If I encounter any difficult situations in the future, I will definitely use the bat light to send you a signal to help you solve the problem!"

Oh, I see. You're a really nice person...

Inspector Megure was taken aback.

Huh? Did I hear that right? You called yourself Batman, and then you said I was Commissioner Gordon...

Then when a case arises, you use a bat-shaped light to signal me? Isn't that going against the natural order?

Inspector Megure certainly hadn't misheard.

That's what Chen En said.

That's right. In cases like bank robberies, Inspector Megure can only arrive at the scene afterward.

I definitely won't get the extra points, but... if I call Inspector Megure and tell him there's a case, wouldn't that be a problem Inspector Megure can't solve? Wouldn't he credit those points to me?

This is the astonishing wisdom of Batman from Beika Town!

"...Well, thank you so much, Mr. Batman."

Inspector Megure was rendered speechless.

He answered after a while, and somewhat reluctantly left his phone number.

Well, it's just a phone number, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

……perhaps.

"Inspector Megure, the recorder did indeed capture the entire incident!"

The police officer who went to the college students' area brought over the cassette tape.

Inspector Megure glanced at Wataru Takagi beside him, and Takagi immediately understood. He then led two officers out to find a working tape recorder to play the tapes recorded by the college students.

The other officers began setting up a cordon at the scene in an orderly manner and got busy.

Yes, I'm very busy, but I don't know what I'm busy with.

Chen En glanced at it and shook his head inwardly.

As expected, the police officers in Beika Town are far inferior to those in Gotham City.

Gotham City police officers are much more capable in this regard.

This isn't him praising Gotham City's police officers; it's just that if Gotham City's police officers aren't highly skilled, they generally won't last long until Batman comes to their rescue. That's a skill that's truly risked their lives for.

"Ouch, take this!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

The bank's field staff member, who had been shot and knocked to the ground by the bank robbers, suddenly opened his eyes.

He picked up the stick in his hand and was about to smash the bank robber's head open.

Then he received puzzled looks from many police officers present.

No, little brother, who are you going to hit?

The field staff were stunned.

He looked at the wooden stick in his hand, then at the police officers scattered on the ground.

Huh? What? It's over? Was he unconscious for a long time? Even officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were on duty?

"Ahem, I just... picked it up casually."

The field staff member chuckled and let go of the stick, allowing it to fall to the ground.

Then he turned his head and began to examine the counter table.

Ah, how come I never noticed before? This table is really a table!

The other officers then looked away.

They continued their busy investigation, though they didn't know what they were busy with.

It seems the investigation into this case will take some time to conclude.

Chen En knew without asking that the branches of Dongdu Bank would definitely not be able to conduct business normally during this period.

He'll probably have to wait a while to open an account and get a bank card.

So he casually leaned against the pillar, holding his coffee, and turned to look at Ran Mouri, who had been staring at him.

What's that silly kid looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before?
