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

His biggest concern about the new business is

He didn't yet have a clear answer in his mind about what the new company should be called.

"Never mind, let's put it aside for now. We'll find a way eventually."

Chen En took a sip of coffee.

His energy immediately returned, but the feeling of fatigue still lingered. He needed to find some time to get a good night's sleep to resolve this, but that wasn't a problem; he couldn't possibly not have time to sleep.

Beika Town isn't Gotham City; incidents there are frequent but minor, not enough to keep him up for days and nights.

"Well then... it's almost time, we should set off."

Mouri Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri stared at the panda pajamas Ran Mouri was holding, a few question marks appearing above his head, before saying...

"No way, Xiaolan, there's no need to let that kid sleep in this outfit. He shares a room with me, you can't see him, what's the point of him wearing this?"

Although Kogoro Mouri said that, when Ran Mouri's eyes held a hint of expectation,

He agreed with Ran's idea, but muttered to himself that if Conan came back and found out he had to wear this outfit, he probably wouldn't come over to persuade Conan.

Ring ring.

The alarm clock rang.

Kogoro Mouri looked up at the alarm clock, his face showing reluctance.

He spent the afternoon running with Sayuri by his bedside until 2 PM, and then he actually encountered the robbers Sayuri had mentioned. He knocked them all down with a few punches and kicks, and while receiving a large sum of money, he also had to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to give a statement.

The unfortunate thing is that there's no one in the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Department.

Because the entire First Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department was dealing with the hostage situation at the post office, he waited for Inspector Megure and his team to return before his statement was completed. Then he hurriedly went home, intending to get some sleep first.

As a result, I had just gotten home when it was time to leave for the Mikasa City Hall.

Kogoro Mouri yawned and said helplessly,

"Where's Conan? He went with Professor Agasa, right? That's fine, saves me from having to wait for him to come over. Come on, Ran, I'll take you there first, and we'll meet that kid at the Cocoon Game announcement venue."

Ran Mouri nodded in agreement, and folded the panda pajamas that she and Yukiko had prepared for Conan.

I'm planning to give Conan a little surprise after he and she return from the Cocoon game launch event. I'm sure Conan will be very happy about it.

"It's about time."

"The plan to assassinate Batman should begin."

"The president of the Mud Ginseng Association, Gui Tong Na Fang, said in a low voice..."

He had already dispatched his three ace snipers to positions near the Mihana City Hall. He hadn't originally planned to do this, but circumstances forced him to comply; the shadow cabinet that funded him demanded that he produce some results.

The black-clad organization that later provided him with equipment also asked him to attack the Beika Municipal Building and snipe Sonoko Suzuki.

This is actually a very strange and bizarre thing.

However, Oniki no Nakamaro did it anyway, because he believed that the three ace snipers were all from the United States military and had absolutely no connection with the Muddy Association. No matter how capable the Suzuki Foundation was, they couldn't possibly find out the identities of the three snipers.

Even if their identities were found, it would be impossible to discover any connection between them and the Mud Ginseng Association.

Because even the cadre that the Mud Ginseng Association contacted, Kiriko Busujima, had been killed, and the black-clad organization that had funded him had personally taken action to erase any trace of contact between Kiriko Busujima and the three ace snipers.

All the ghost child, Nagafusa, had to do was make a mess of the Beika City Hall and lure Batman out to kill him.

It's that simple. Batman might be powerful enough to dodge a sniper rifle bullet flying from a distance, but he could never dodge a super-visual attack, much less withstand a large-caliber armor-piercing bullet!

If any one of the three ace snipers hits Batman,

So, Batman is dead. He can get money from the Shadow Cabinet, equipment from the Black Organization, and continue to be the king of Tokyo's underworld, becoming its uncrowned king!

Thinking of this, the ghost child Nafang couldn't help but hum softly.

Chapter 397 Poor Agasa is being manipulated.

Mihana Municipal Building.

Unlike most municipal buildings in the world, Japanese municipal buildings are unique in that local municipal buildings often rent out a portion of their space to use as cinemas or other facilities to generate additional revenue, and the Beika Municipal Building is a prime example of this.

In an effort to increase revenue, the entire Mihana City Hall was rented out to host the announcement of the game "Cocoon".

Click.

With the sound of a camera shutter being pressed, the person who appeared at the entrance of the Beika City Hall was none other than a big shot from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi, who had come specifically to bring Hideki Moroboshi to participate in this Cocoon game announcement event.

If it weren't for the fact that Tokyo is going through a lot of trouble lately and needs to have someone on duty, Superintendent General Hakuba would probably have come too.

Hideki Moroboshi walked confidently down the red carpet that covered the steps, his hands tucked into his pockets.

The numerous cameras and microphones of the reporters around him posed no obstacle whatsoever to him. After all, as the son of a prominent figure in Tokyo, he had received such training from a young age, because the children of celebrities also become celebrities.

In this country, power and money are passed down only through blood relations.

Deputy Inspector Morohoshi walked behind, greeting other reporters nearby. At that moment, a bold reporter, accompanied by a cameraman, bypassed the security guards and approached Deputy Inspector Morohoshi, immediately asking…

"Deputy Inspector Morohoshi, regarding the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's recent security patrols, have they yielded any significant results? I've heard that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is cracking down on the remnants of the Steel Society, but some of the Steel Society's assets are still missing!"

"Can you respond to this? The Cocoon Games launch event is being held at the City Hall; can you ensure its safety?"

The security guards nearby immediately stepped forward to take the reporter and cameraman away.

Deputy Inspector Moroboshi frowned, then replied.

"Of course, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will do its best to ensure the safety of every citizen. As for the Cocoon game launch event at the City Hall tonight, I personally believe that there should be no unexpected incidents. The police will continue to conduct security patrols in the vicinity."

"Reporter, if you want to interview me, you need to make an appointment in advance. Then please step aside."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the security guards beside him led the newspaper reporter and cameraman aside.

Deputy Superintendent Morohoshi looked up at Hideki Morohoshi, who was already standing at the door waiting for him, nodded slightly, and then walked towards the main entrance of the Beika City Hall, preparing to enter the Cocoon Games press conference through the main entrance as a VIP.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the crowd, Kogoro Mouri stood on tiptoe, looking towards the main entrance, muttering to himself.

"What? Am I, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, not qualified to enter through the front door?"

Although Kogoro Mouri himself was aware of this.

However, this did not stop him from muttering to himself. Ran Mouri, who was next to him, was used to it. Only Conan was still thinking to himself that the old man was fantasizing again.

They weren't actually invited; they came entirely thanks to the Suzuki Group.

Even VIPs who received invitations are not considered guests; they are just ordinary guests. It is impossible for them to enter through the main gate. Today, all the guests are big shots from all walks of life. It would be more likely if Uncle Mori hitched a ride with the park.

"Conan, when is Batman coming?"

Ayumi, standing to the side, asked with some confusion,

Hearing this, Conan scratched his head, unsure how to answer Ayumi's question.

Chen En is known for his eccentric and unpredictable behavior when it comes to traveling.

Not to mention him, even Ai Haibara, who lives with Chen En, doesn't know where Chen En is going. Since Chen En hasn't arrived yet, he must have encountered some other issues that need to be resolved.

Conan was about to give Ayumi the honest answer,

Then, he saw a figure appear behind Ayumi at some point, so Conan swallowed what he was about to say and instead said,

"Now."

Ayumi: ?

Ayumi was about to ask what it meant when Mitsuhiko and Genta cheered.

"Batman is here!"

She then realized that Chen En was standing right behind her, and quickly turned around to look back.

As expected, Chen En, holding a white coffee cup and dressed in his usual black overcoat, calmly observed the Junior Detective League members. He then took a sip of his coffee and asked,

Are you waiting for me? Why don't you go inside first?

Hearing this, the members of the Junior Detective League exchanged glances, then answered in unison.

"Because Professor Agasa said he had something to tell you, but he didn't know if you would be at the Cocoon Games announcement event, so he said he would wait for you at the entrance."

"If Sonoko-neechan is coming to the game announcement event, you'll at least wait for her at the door before leaving."

What is the logic?

Chen En blinked and looked at Professor Agasa, who was trying to hide behind Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri, but couldn't hide at all because of his big stomach.

He felt that Professor Agasa might consider himself a master of romance because his plans to date Fusae had been so successful.

But what he wanted to say was...

Professor Agasa's ability to reconnect with Fusae after so many years has absolutely nothing to do with his romantic skills. In fact, Professor Agasa has no romantic skills at all. His success is simply because Fusae was willing to "accidentally" connect with him.

This was the result of Chen En's follow-up investigation, but he felt that saying it might dampen Dr. Agasa's enthusiasm.

So he hasn't told Professor Agasa about this until now, and Professor Agasa, thinking himself a master of romance, is now applying his own experience to him, which is really speechless.

Alas, poor Agasa is being manipulated by himself, yet he still tries to instruct others.

Swish

The Suzuki Group's vehicles slowly arrived at the entrance of the Beika Municipal Building.

In an instant, the surrounding reporters became even more eager, because they knew that the person getting off the car was definitely a prominent figure in Tokyo, namely Suzuki Jirokichi, the advisor of the Suzuki Foundation who had repeatedly clashed with Kaito Kid!

And there's also Sonoko Suzuki, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group and the future heir to the Suzuki family business!

Although Sonoko Suzuki usually seems quite eccentric, when she doesn't speak, combined with her previously learned etiquette and an evening gown, she can still create a static beauty effect.

At least the sound of camera shutters clicking around me increased significantly.

After watching Sonoko Suzuki and Jirokichi Suzuki enter the main entrance of the Beika City Hall, Chen En raised his wristwatch, glanced at the time, and then looked up and said,

"It's about time to go in... Why are you all looking at me like that?"
