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

"All I remember is that the mystery ends with Shinmei Nittarou in a hotel room. He is very ill and could die at any time, so you have to solve the case quickly so you can see him one last time."

"It's a pity I don't usually pay attention to these things, otherwise I would have found his location last night as well."

Conan turned and glanced at Chen En.

Although he felt that Chen En's words were a bit unreliable, he still acknowledged Chen En's reasoning method, which seemed to be based on a script and the answer. He reluctantly believed that if Chen En knew in advance, he could easily confirm the location.

However, if the situation is really as Chen En said...

Therefore, he must speed up the process of solving the mystery. As one of the mystery writers he had read since childhood, Shinmei Nittarou would be devastated if he didn't get to meet the famous detective in his book before he died.

That would be a pity!

"I understand. Leave the rest to me!"

Conan struggled to jump back to the second-floor platform of the internal staircase, and then rushed into the reception room.

Startled by Conan, Kogoro Mouri predictably delivered a powerful punch to Conan's head, leaving a large, anime-style bump. Only then did Conan, with tears in his eyes, express his desire to read Kaori Shinmei's book.

Then, the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student sat down next to him with the book in his arms and quickly flipped through the pages.

In less than ten minutes.

Conan then returned to the meeting room, avoiding yet another attack from Kogoro Mouri's "Mouri God Fist," and shouted loudly,

"Sister, Uncle, I've figured out what Master Xinming's code means!"

"The novel's title is 'The Pinnacle of Half,' which means to merge the top two characters of the original manuscript. The answer can be found in the five places where Shinmei Nittaro appears in the book, and it seems that the master Shinmei is used to using French letters."

"The French letter H is silent at the beginning of a word, so words that begin with the Roman letter H must be removed before interpretation."

“By spelling out the special features of the five locations using the method I just described, we can immediately get the code phrase: ‘Help me! I’m in room 2407 of the Beihu City Hotel! Hurry, there’s no time!’”

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who was planning to catch Conan and unleash a double punch, and Kaori Shinna, who was about to persuade Kogoro Mouri not to lay a hand on the child, both froze.

It seems that this logic can indeed be used to solve the problem.

But is it really possible to crack such a complex puzzle in just ten minutes? Isn't that speed a bit too impressive? Could a child really do that?

He sensed the surprised looks from Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Kaori Shinmei.

Conan quickly said,

"It was Brother Chen En who was at the door who told me the solution!"

"I just played a word puzzle game using the method that Brother Chen En taught me!"

That's not surprising.

Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri nodded, suddenly realizing what was going on.

Indeed, Chen En's reasoning style is more like reading the script than deducing the answer.

It seems there is truly no mystery in this world that can stop Chen En.

Only Shinmei Kaori, who was standing next to her, was puzzled by this.

She didn't know Chen En.

In addition, Chen En has never been featured on television, and there isn't even a single photo of him on television. Shinmei Kaori not only doesn't know anything about Chen En, but she has never even heard of his name.

However, seeing that Kogoro Mouri seemed to approve of Conan's solution, which he had heard from Chen En, he was quite impressed.

She could only guess that Chen En, who had just been chatting with her at the door, was probably some kind of great detective visiting as a guest.

"I didn't expect Mr. Rentaro to be at the Beika City Hotel. However, judging from the code, Mr. Rentaro's situation seems to be quite dangerous. We must speed things up!"

"Miss Kaori, kid, let's go!"

Kogoro Mouri hurriedly grabbed Conan and rushed outside.

Shinmei Kaori was a little surprised, but still jogged to catch up. Only Ran Mouri, who was a step behind and came out, watched the three disappear quickly into the inner staircase and felt a little helpless. However, she saw Chen En next to her.

Ran Mouri suddenly remembered something and asked curiously,

“Mr. Chen En, Miss Maki Shuri visited the firm yesterday.”

"She told us that she had received a notice from Kaito Kid and hoped that her father could go to the theater to help her deal with Kaito Kid and protect the Destiny Jewel. Then she gave us a big stack of tickets and told us to distribute them as we pleased."

"Since there are so many tickets, my dad, Conan, and I are going together. We still have five or six extra tickets. Do you and Sonoko want to come with us to see the show? That way we won't have to buy extra tickets!"

Are the tickets given out in stacks? This Mu Shuli is quite a character.

To this, Chen En merely raised an eyebrow and said,

"That night, Sonoko and I were going to the Suzuki Foundation's exhibition hall to confront Kaito Kid."

"It's highly unlikely we'll be able to go to the Space Theater. However, Ai and Professor Agasa seem quite interested in this kind of high-end art. You can ask them about it later. Maybe if we include the Detective Boys, we'll be able to use up all the tickets?"

However, he originally wanted to talk to Conan about the antidote for APTX-4869.

It seems there's no chance now.

Forget it, I'll talk to Conan when he and the others come back this afternoon. It's not like the emperor isn't worried while the eunuch is, right? Besides, he's not a eunuch, and Conan isn't the emperor, so there's even less reason for them to be anxious!

Chapter 209 Murakami Takeshi: Wait a minute, didn't you just say you were a sommelier?

Hatred is the only reason he remains in Tokyo.

Sawaki Kohei genuinely loathed those who hurt him and mocked him.

He lost his most important sense of taste as a result, and could no longer pursue his beloved career as a sommelier. Now he can only judge the quality of wine by its color and aroma, and he lost his job because of it.

From the bottom of his heart, Sawaki Kohei wanted revenge.

However, killing his enemy was easy, but finding a way to kill him without being discovered and wanted by the police, and to allow him to return to his hometown peacefully, was very difficult.

Sawaki Kohei has yet to find a suitable method for revenge.

He even considered visiting his friend, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, to see if he could glean any methods for committing the perfect crime from Mouri's experience in solving cases.

However, for some reason, Kogoro Mouri has been acting strangely these past few days.

He was never home, and he tried calling Kogoro Mouri several times by landline to schedule a meeting, but no one answered and he was turned away.

"Ugh."

Sitting in this somewhat gloomy little bar, Ze Mugong couldn't help but sigh.

He watched as the bartender wielded the cocktail shaker, juggling it up and down like a juggler, occasionally tossing it into the air and catching it again, adding a touch of expensive artistry to the bartender's drinks.

This is just a tactic to get people to willingly pay the price.

As an experienced sommelier, Sawaki Kohei naturally knew that most bartenders' mixing techniques wouldn't significantly improve the taste of the resulting drinks; they were simply pure deception.

Unfortunately, he can no longer taste it.

Just as Sawaki Kohei was about to sigh, someone else beat him to it.

"Ugh."

Sawaki Kohei: ?

He turned to look at the simply dressed, middle-aged man beside him, whose eyes seemed rather clear, and asked with a puzzled expression,

"Sir, what are you sighing about?"

Murakami Takeshi sighed and said,

"Sigh, I was young and ignorant, I made some mistakes and was sent to prison."

“I was recently released from prison. At the time, I was thinking that I would definitely take revenge on the criminal who sent me to prison. But now that I think about it, I should thank that criminal.”

"Otherwise, given my personality when I was young, I might have even done something as unforgivable as murder."

"If I am arrested by the police at that time, the criminal record will probably be more than ten years, or even doubled, or even sentenced to hanging."

Thinking of this, Murakami Takeshi sighed again.

"But I want to visit that criminal at his home."

"But my friend, who is a criminal investigator, repeatedly dissuaded me, saying that keeping my distance from him was the best way to repay him at the moment."

Sawaki Kohei, standing beside him, shook his head slightly and said,

"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? If someone advises you not to go, you really won't go."

"That would be truly letting your friends down."

He snapped his fingers, signaling the bartender to refill Murakami Takeshi's nearly empty glass.

Then, Sawaki Kohei said,

"If you're scared, then I'll go and thank that criminal for you."

"I'm leaving Tokyo in a few days, so I thought I'd do something meaningful before I leave."

Others might consider Murakami's status.

However, Sawaki Kohei will not.

He knew perfectly well that this man was about to become an even more heinous murderer than him, and before he fled, he figured he might as well help him out, he asked.

"Who's this criminal you're talking about? I might even know him!"

Upon hearing this, Murakami Takeo was deeply moved.

I have to say, you're a really nice person!

When others heard my story, they were all scared and kept their distance, but you listened without batting an eye and even offered to help me!

Murakami Takeshi immediately said,

"The detective who arrested me back then has now left his job and become a very famous detective."

His name is...

Before Murakami Takeshi could finish speaking, Sawaki Kohei asked in surprise,

"Moori Kogoro?"

Murakami Takeichi was startled.
