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

His gaze fell on Chen En, and he wondered if he should give Chen En a tranquilizer dart and then use Chen En's voice to deduce that he was a sleeping Batman.

However, Chen En clearly didn't give Conan that chance, and simply said,

“From the start of the game until now, you are the only person who has directly touched the spot where the needle pricked Kengo. I only touched Kengo’s shoulder once, in everyone’s sight, so I am not suspected of murder.”

"Therefore, there is only one suspect in this heinous incident, and there is no room for dispute, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shizumi Takaho took a few steps back and leaned against the game console.

His expression kept changing, which was quite moving.

Inspector Megure arrived at the scene at that moment.

He happened to be patrolling nearby and arrived just in time. When he saw the scene, he was immediately stunned. He glanced at Chen En and asked,

"What happened?"

Before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, Shimizu Takayasu, whose face had just turned ashen, suffered a bipolar disorder. He collapsed to his knees, clutching his head, and then said in agony,

"I killed Kengo Obō, he deserved to die!"

Mu Mu Police Department:?

What's going on? How did we get to the bipartisan plea stage so quickly? This is ridiculous!

Before Inspector Megure could even ask him anything, Shimizu Takayasu had already revealed his motive for the murder.

Kengo Obō and Takaho Shimizu's younger sister are in a romantic relationship.

However, this relationship between the man and woman was not legitimate. Kengo Oto was like a parasite, constantly sucking the blood of Takaho Shimizu's sister, making her work part-time to support Kengo Oto's gaming and living expenses.

Shimizu Takaho's sister was even hospitalized due to overwork.

Shimizu Takaho was determined to end the relationship. He knew it was impossible to get his sister to initiate the breakup; he had to start with Oto Kengo. So, he approached Oto Kengo, hoping he would break up with his sister.

As a result, Kengo Obō did not agree to the matter, only saying that he would agree to break up if Takaho Shimizu could beat him.

What followed was a showdown between these new fighting game consoles.

Shimizu Takaho originally planned to start with zero frames and focus on getting a kill first.

As it happened, he witnessed Chen En using his super intuition and reflexes to dunk on Kengo Oto. A glimmer of hope for a head-on victory arose in his mind, so he temporarily abandoned his original plan to kill. However, he was then dunked on by Kengo Oto in return.

In a fit of rage, he used a needle laced with pufferfish venom to stab Kengo Oto. After Kengo Oto died, he took the opportunity to go around to Kengo Oto's side, insert coins and select a character for him, and then went back to play the game.

Unexpectedly, they encountered someone as rude as Chen En.

He actually went straight to Kengo Oto's side to look at the screen, and even pushed Kengo Oto while he was playing the game, causing Shimizu Takaho's plan to completely fall apart, leading to his current predicament.

"...Which hospital is your sister in?"

Chen En was rendered silent by this man and asked...

As the saying goes, a simp won't get a house, regardless of gender. But now that Shizumi Takaho has been sent to jail, it seems like the woman is doomed if no one takes care of her. He's a kind-hearted person, so he'll ask the hospital to help him so that the woman can be discharged normally.

"..."

Shimizu Takaho stared at Chen En for a while before giving his answer. He was then taken to the police car by Takagi Wataru. Inspector Megure, seeing such efficient case-solving, patted Chen En on the shoulder and praised him.

"As expected of Brother Chen En, that's fast!"

"You're even faster at solving cases than Brother Mori. If it were Brother Mori, he'd probably be sober for half a day, rambling on and on before finally going to sleep and telling the truth. You're much more efficient than Brother Chen En!"

Conan: ?

Conan, standing to the side, stared at Inspector Megure, thinking to himself,

He clearly saw it too, but without Kogoro Mouri as his jinchūriki, he couldn't solve the case immediately.

In response, Chen En simply said,

"Stop them. We haven't found the needles with pufferfish toxin. We don't want them to be taken out and accidentally prick someone."

Mu Mu Police Department:?

Chapter 346 The FBI and Lupin III

The GAME ON GAME arcade was cordoned off by police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department for half a day.

Inspector Megure asked Takaho Shimizu if he knew the location of the needle containing pufferfish toxin, but Shimizu simply said he had stuck the needle to chewing gum and lost it, not knowing who stepped on it and took it. This left Inspector Megure speechless.

Like the guy from the porridge bar, he searched for shoes for ages before finally finding the needle with pufferfish toxin, and then angrily retreated.

Seeing Inspector Megure's hurried arrival and departure...

Conan couldn't help but retort,

"Inspector Megure seems really busy lately. Has the crime rate in Beika Town suddenly increased?"

In response, Chen En merely glanced at Conan and said curiously,

"What are you talking about? Of course not, we're hunting down remnants of the Steel Society."

"Didn't you know? After Black Mask's sudden death, it was rumored that he left behind a large sum of money that disappeared without a trace, which ended up in the hands of the remnants of the Steel Society. As a result, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had to work overtime to hunt down the remnants of the Steel Society."

"Otherwise, who knows how many more troubles might be caused because of Black Mask's legacy."

Oh, so they're arresting the remnants of the Black Mask gang. I thought they were arresting something else...

Conan: ?

What? What do you mean that after Black Mask's sudden death, there was a rumor that he left behind a large, unaccounted-for legacy?

No, didn't you rescue Black Mask from inside the Tokyo National Stadium? What happened? Why did Black Mask suddenly die? Did the hospital's attempts to save him fail? Did the Japanese Public Security Bureau, enraged by unsuccessful interrogation, resort to violence?

Or is there some other reason?

Conan's thirst for knowledge is growing wildly.

However, Chen En had no intention of explaining. He simply ruffled Conan's hair and, under Conan's disappointed gaze, turned back to explain the situation to Suzuki Sonoko.

Sighing, Conan was speechless.

Chen En's main strength lies in his unique way of thinking. Such a genius is rare even in Beika Town. He doesn't say what he should say, or his explanations are nonsense. He rarely tells the truth.

"What an awesome boy."

Judith Sterling stood next to Conan and sighed.

Conan frowned at this and looked up at the woman beside him who was impersonating Vermouth.

While "awesome" can mean great, it also carries a terrifying connotation. Judy's deliberate use of this word to describe Chen En suggests she might have some other intention.

Sure enough, it would be safer to give her an injection when the opportunity arises.

"Conan, over here, over here!"

Ran Mouri greeted him.

Seeing this, Conan hurriedly replied in a low voice before running over, while Judith Sterling chuckled and immediately turned to leave.

Judy had more important things to investigate next.

As we all know, as FBI agents in the Detective Conan universe, the FBI is responsible for many areas and has a long list of targets, one of whom is Lupin III. Now, Lupin III seems to be moving towards Tokyo.

As an FBI agent, it was naturally necessary for her to investigate Lupin III's whereabouts.

However, Judy was completely unaware that her phone had been briefly out of her reach for a few dozen seconds when the police closed the GAME ON GAME arcade.

Previously at Poirot's Coffee Shop, Chen En had already demonstrated his undetectable magic trick on Makoto Kusakabe's phone, and now he was doing the same thing on Judy's phone.

Having finally encountered an FBI agent, it would be a waste not to do something shady with my luck, right?

"Chen En, I challenge you!"

"I won't compare you to that new fighting game console. I'll compete with you in the regular Street Fighter arcade game. Dare to have a go?!"

Conan said loudly,

Upon hearing this, Chen En raised an eyebrow.

He slowly sat down and then said,

"I guarantee you'll soon regret this idea."

Noticing that Judy seemed to be preparing to leave,

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki simply left the two of them—one big and one small—to play arcade games. They took the opportunity to run off and take a couple of photo booth pictures with Jodie, which they could show off when they returned to school.

Just kidding, running into a teacher at the arcade and taking a headshot together would be a great topic of conversation, wouldn't it?

However, less than a minute after they left,

Conan has already lost two lights in a row, and is completely defeated.

Even if he suddenly became reckless and angry, and replicated the amazing moves of that guy who had just entered the arcade, Chen En could still whip him around like a top even if he just casually assumed a horse stance, only giving him five more seconds of life.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student sat in the chair, feeling as if his entire being had burned out.

Does this mean he really has no way of mastering the game's skills and no way of finding enjoyment in it?

At this moment, Chen En stood up, extended his hand to Conan, and said,

"Want to learn fighting games? I'll teach you."

Conan: ?

He looked up at Chen En, and the next moment, Chen En said...

"Next, I'll pass on my secret winning strategy for Street Fighter!"

Conan: !

A foolproof winning formula? Even I...

"Robin, as long as you don't tell anyone if you cause trouble in the future, it'll be fine!"

Chen En ruffled Conan's hair and said this.
