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

In this world, the most dangerous thing is to excessively pry into other people's secrets, which can lead to your death.

However, just as Morofushi Takaaki turned to leave,

Chen En suddenly asked,

"Inspector Morifushi, do you remember the bank robbery that happened six months ago?"

A bank robbery that happened six months ago?

Zhu Fugaoming turned his head to look at Chen En, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

He certainly remembered the incident. The criminals had been prepared to surrender after being persuaded by the negotiation experts, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly attacked and were shot dead by nearby criminal investigation officers.

This whole affair is suspicious; the prisoner even spoke with a stranger, seemingly threatening someone.

Why is this gentleman bringing up the case from six months ago?

“I’ve researched the case before; just consider it a pastime for you as a detective.”

"Is it possible that someone in the bank provoked the prisoner to commit murder just before he was about to surrender, leading him to do something so irrational?"

"Think about it from this perspective, and consider the source of the handgun used by the prisoner."

Chen En's words left Suzuki Sonoko confused, and also made Conan raise his head, his ears perking up slightly.

Conan had never heard of this case.

He hadn't shrunk yet at that time. Could Chen En be referring to a shooting incident limited to the Nagano Prefecture area? Otherwise, given his extensive knowledge of case files at the time, he shouldn't have been unaware of this incident.

There's always a sense that Chen En is in a state of "quantum superposition" regarding various old cases, where he understands and doesn't understand them.

Sometimes, Chen En had never heard of the heinous incidents that had occurred before, while at other times, he could recount these cases that he had never heard of in great detail. How did he obtain information in such a way that there was such a big difference?

Conan pondered, but didn't intend to ask Chen En.

Because if he asked Chen En, Chen En would most likely give him the same answer.

[I remember those cases because they were mentioned in the manga and anime, while I don't remember the others because they weren't mentioned or were just background characters. Isn't that obvious?]

Conan still doesn't believe in that bizarre time-travel theory from the manga.

"You mean... [worms on the lion's body, eating away at the lion's flesh]?"

Zhu Fugaoming said in a low voice.

He remembered that the bank robbery case was handled by the "Takeda Squad" of the First Investigation Division, and it was the squad leader, Takeda Shigeru, who shot and killed the perpetrator. If the perpetrator's handgun originated from the Takeda Squad...

Therefore, it is not surprising that Shigeru Takeda would create an opportunity for the prisoner to lose control of his emotions and then shoot him.

Once you have a target, it becomes much easier to catch the internal pests.

Zhu Fugaoming raised his head and spoke again.

"【To wish to see a wise person but not in the proper way is like wishing them to enter but closing the door】. In that case, could you please leave your phone number so I can ask you some questions? I suppose you followed me before because you wanted me to do something for you?"

His gaze fell on Chen En, who then spoke in a low voice.

"Just like you said, I have someone who can be considered a teammate, he's also a police officer."

"However, he has become increasingly unscrupulous in his actions, and he has a close relationship with your brother. Therefore, if that person has gone astray, I would like to ask you to go to Tokyo to help him see the error of his ways."

Is he closely related to Jingguang?

A hint of surprise appeared in Zhu Fu Gaoming's eyes.

He still doesn't know where Morofushi Kagemitsu went after graduating from the police academy. He only knows that Morofushi Kagemitsu resigned from his position as a police officer for unknown reasons. But now this gentleman is saying that Morofushi Kagemitsu is actually still working as a police officer.

Or perhaps... he was employed by the Ministry of Public Security, so he had to lie and say he had resigned and went into hiding?

Morofushi Kagemitsu's friend? Is that the police academy best friend Morofushi Kagemitsu mentioned before, named "Zero"?

Upon hearing this, Morofushi Takaaki's expression became slightly serious.

"Without hesitation."

Chapter 379 Rest Time

The last train from Nagano Prefecture to Tokyo departs at Karuizawa Station at 10:30 PM.

After finishing dealing with Hiroshi Akimoto's case, it was already 12:30 AM, clearly too late to catch the last bus back to Tokyo. However, Chen En had anticipated this.

The vehicle has now arrived at the booked hotel.

The hotel receptionist was taken aback when she saw the group of people walking into the hotel at this hour.

He glanced at the room sign next to him, and after confirming that there were still a few rooms available, he made his call.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any rooms reserved?"

"If not, we now only have two double rooms, three single rooms, and..."

Upon hearing what the counter staff said, Sonoko Suzuki's face instantly turned red.

However, the next moment, Chen En calmly said,

"Rooms 203 and 204, both twin rooms, I already called this morning to make a reservation. Please check the records. If everything is correct, please give me the keys."

He quickly recited the identity information he had given when booking the room, and upon hearing this, the front desk staff immediately checked the computer records.

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

But while she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a strange, faint sense of loss, because she felt that the scene almost perfectly matched the content of a morning drama she had once watched.

What are you thinking about now?

Ran Mouri suddenly peeked out from the side.

She blinked, and seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki hurriedly grabbed the key to room 204, pushed Ran Mouri towards the stairwell, and fled as if escaping, not forgetting to throw out a sentence.

"I'm sharing a room with Xiaolan tonight, Ah-en, please take care of the little rascal!"

Watching Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri hurriedly disappear into the stairwell one after the other.

Conan smirked, glanced at his watch, and then followed Chen En, who had taken the keys and was heading towards the stairwell. On the way, he couldn't help but ask...

"I'm curious, how did you get involved with other police officers again? And why are you looking for contacts in such a far-off place?"

"Do you know Morofushi Takaaki? Who is that police officer you mentioned who has a close relationship with Morofushi Takaaki's brother and is becoming increasingly ruthless in his actions? Since you know about this relationship, why don't you just go find his brother?"

Chen En: ?

Ignorance is no excuse, otherwise I really would have used the Bat Fist on you.

Chen En grabbed the doorknob of room 203, turned it, and led Conan inside. After placing the key on the table, he then answered,

"I mentioned it to you before. Do you remember the day you advised me not to harm Makoto Kusakabe?"

Makoto Kusakabe?

Conan sat on the bed, stroking his chin, pondering the situation.

Then, he finally recalled what had happened that day and said with some surprise,

"You mean [Rei Furuya]?"

That happened almost three hundred chapters ago. Back then, Chen En explained to him the real name of the Japanese Public Security officer who was tracking Kusakabe Makoto, as well as the code name of his undercover agent within the Black Organization. He was actually quite interested in Furuya Rei.

However, they never met again, and Chen En had given him too much information about the Black Organization during that period.

He had become somewhat desensitized to information about the Black Organization, which was why he hadn't asked any further questions. He never expected Chen En to bring up the name again at this moment.

"Yes, Rei Furuya, bourbon whiskey, Tooru Amuro."

Chen En said calmly,

“Rei Furuya’s behavior is becoming more and more extreme. If beating him up in the future doesn’t solve the problem, then I’ll have Takaaki Morofushi try to reform him. If that still doesn’t solve the problem, then I’ll send him to a sanatorium for a while.”

"As for Morofushi Takaaki's younger brother... Morofushi Takaaki's younger brother is also a Japanese public security officer, and he is also an undercover agent."

"His name was Morofushi Hiromitsu, codenamed Scotch Whisky within the organization. Because his identity was exposed, he committed suicide to avoid implicating other undercover agents. At the time, there was another FBI undercover agent with Morofushi Hiromitsu."

"Kagemitsu Morofushi committed suicide using the undercover agent's gun, which led to frequent conflicts between Rei Furuya and the FBI undercover agent."

At this point, Chen En glanced at Conan and asked,

Did I tell you this before?

He shook his head and then said,

"The FBI undercover agent's name was Shuichi Akai, alias Dai Moroboshi, codename Rye Whiskey, and he was in a relationship with Akemi Miyano. His appearance disrupted my entire rescue plan for Akemi and Shiho Miyano..."

"No, let's not talk about that. Anyway, Morofushi Hiromitsu and Furuya Rei were best friends back in police academy,"

"He mentioned Morofushi Takaaki to Furuya Rei, and Morofushi Takaaki had also met with Furuya Rei. Both knew each other's identities. With Morofushi Kagemitsu dead, only Morofushi Takaaki might be able to persuade Furuya Rei to come back."

"Of course, it's just a precaution, and I don't have high hopes for it."

Chen En sat on another bed and asked,

Have you thought about how you'll enjoy the Cocoon game when you return to Tokyo tomorrow?

Conan: ?

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

"I heard that Cocoon Games is a virtual reality game, Xiaolan, I'll get you a test qualification when it comes out!"

Sonoko Suzuki said with a grin to her best friend,

After all, as one of the investors in Cocoon Games, the Suzuki Group could easily obtain the game testing qualifications from several invited guests who were absent.

Of the fifty slots for the cocoon game, the Suzuki Group can probably snag at least ten.

However, Ran Mouri didn't seem to care much about the Cocoon Game.

She braced herself on the bed with both hands and asked with some curiosity,

"Will you and Mr. Chen En play the cocoon game together then?"

Hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki raised her eyebrows and said,
