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

Chen En said with a serious expression,

"I'm just more punctual."

"Because, I'm batman!"

Everyone: Ah, right, right, right

Chapter 398 What Noah's Ark self-inspection? I have no idea!

As one of the very few commercial events that can be held at the Beika City Hall, the security level for the Cocoon Game announcement was undoubtedly the highest in the entire Beika Town. The Cocoon Game announcement even had a security scanning gate!

Of course, for Chen En,

The usefulness of security scanning gates is similar to that of public restroom doors that are locked during business hours. Public restroom doors are not locked during business hours.

Chen En walked through with ease, rendering the security gate useless.

Even Conan and Ai Haibara, who were feeling a bit guilty, felt the same way. After passing through the security gate, Conan visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Ayumi, who had been observing Conan the whole time, poked her head out and asked curiously,

"Conan, were you worried just now?"

"Did you bring something dangerous through the security gate?"

Conan: ?

Although I feel the same way, I still have to say that I hate you kids who are naturally intuitive!

Conan chuckled awkwardly, shook his head, and quickly explained,

"No, no, what are you thinking, Ayumi?"

"I'm the most honest one in the Junior Detective League."

Ayumi: ?

Not the most honest one, aren't you the one who acts on his own the most in the Junior Detective League?

Just as Ayumi was about to say something,

Genta and Mitsuhiko, who were peering over the glass curtain wall, exclaimed in amazement.

"Those spherical, high-tech-looking things on the stage below, are they the legendary holographic immersive gaming pods? Wow, they look just like the ones in science fiction novels!"

Ayumi's attention was immediately drawn, and Conan said with a smile,

"Haha, let's look at the game pod in the distance, Ayumi."

Hearing this, Ayumi suddenly turned to look at Conan and asked curiously,

"Conan, don't you dislike playing games?"

"I remember you still haven't finished Dragon Quest, you couldn't even get past the first level in Pac-Man, and you got completely crushed by Genta and Mitsuhiko in Street Fighter, so you didn't like playing games. Why are you interested in this now?"

Conan: ?

Your words were a bit too hurtful.

Conan said,

“You’re right, but Ayumi, you can come to Professor Agasa’s house with Genta and Mitsuhiko next time.”

"The me who was bad at games is dead! The gaming genius Edogawa Conan is left in the world! When the time comes, I will show you the invincible Street Fighter fighting style and reverse all the previous victories and defeats!"

Watching Conan boast about his Street Fighter skills while arguing with the other members of the Junior Detective League.

Ai Haibara was rendered silent.

Unlike her, who still tries to maintain an adult mindset, Shinichi Kudo seems to be increasingly immersing himself in the game. At this rate, who knows who will be the one to take the antidote for APTX-4869 once it's developed?

Is it Shinichi Kudo returning to his original form, or Conan Edogawa disguised as Shinichi Kudo?

"...Chen En, do you have any clues about Noah's Ark suddenly performing a self-check at 3:30 in the morning?"

Dr. Agasa asked suspiciously,

He felt that most of his program was modified by Chen En when he borrowed the computer. He wondered why he could write programs so fast. It turned out that Chen En had helped him to hide the data and prevent him from being exposed.

Therefore, it seems that the Noah's Ark self-check at 3:30 a.m. was most likely something Chen En did.

In response, Chen En blinked and then said,

"I don't know."

"How could I possibly know why Noah's Ark went crazy and performed a self-check in the middle of the night last night? Professor Agasa, you know me. Sonoko and I were on vacation in Shinno Prefecture at the time. There was no way we could know the reason."

To be honest, he really didn't know what caused the document he left behind to be triggered.

Because Chen En did not communicate with Noah's Ark at all, Noah's Ark only saw the document information left behind. He only noticed that Noah's Ark triggered that document at the time and was waiting for follow-up news from other secret passages.

He did not have any real direct contact with Noah's Ark, so naturally he had no way of knowing the cause of the matter.

Of course, the fact that Noah's Ark would suddenly conduct a self-examination is definitely directly related to the document he left for Noah's Ark inviting it to join the Bat Family. After all, Noah's Ark saw this document...

As long as the mental model isn't broken, it will definitely believe that there's a hidden key in its own program, but since it can't be found, the hidden key left by Professor Agasa has been forced to take the blame.

It can be said that Professor Agasa's secret door came into play, at least it covered the secret door he left behind and misled Noah's Ark.

"There are celebrities' children everywhere."

Ai Haibara's voice came from behind him, and Chen En's gaze shifted to her, then turned forward, noticing that they were almost at the end of the glass-walled corridor, where the banquet hall was just ahead.

The scene of celebrities mingling and their offspring being so arrogant as to play football in the banquet hall has already been fully witnessed.

Seeing this, Ai Haibara said in a low voice,

"It's practically a microcosm of the evil Japanese hereditary system. With this hereditary system, the mistakes of human history keep repeating themselves... The son of a politician becomes a politician, the son of a bank president becomes a bank president."

"No matter how much time passes, Japan will not change."

The Junior Detective League members nearby were somewhat surprised, and even Kogoro Mouri turned to look at Ai Haibara.

Noticing this, Ai Haibara said without hesitation,

"This is what my brother Chen En told me."

If it can be said that Chen En taught him, then say it was Chen En; if not, then say it was Shinichi Kudo.

Because Chen En is a mature and composed adult (probably), his discussions of these heavy topics are more persuasive than those of Shinichi Kudo.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately turned to look at Chen En and muttered,

"No, what do you teach the kids?"

"These things can't be taught haphazardly, or it might cause trouble. Besides, I don't think bloodline inheritance is that important."

Did you know that a person's life is already determined at the moment they are born?

The child's voice came from the entrance of the passage.

The three children who were playing football put the ball down, and one of them laughed.

"That's right, beautiful clothes also choose the people who wear them."

"Our lives are destined to be smooth sailing, unlike some people... for example, their wives running away. I know this uncle, right? 'Sleeping Kogoro' got his nickname because his wife ran away while he was sleeping?"

Mori Kogoro:?

I love you! These kids are just asking for it!

Before Kogoro Mouri could retort, Ran Mouri, standing beside him, spoke without hesitation.

"It wasn't while she was asleep; Mother left while Father was in the bathroom! Right?"

Mori Kogoro:?

Is this the point you should be refuting? Is this the key point?

Damn it, where did Xiaolan learn the habit of finishing off her teammates?

Chapter 399 Wasn't Phantom Thief Kid finished?

"Oh, it's you, boys and girls."

Inspector General Moroboshi, who was talking with others, turned around and saw Conan and Ai Haibara, and immediately came over to greet them.

He was deeply impressed by Ai Haibara. This girl, who looked to be less than ten years old, made the right judgment at a crucial moment. If it weren't for Ai Haibara's help, he probably would have perished in the collapsed area of ​​the Tokyo National Stadium.

Moreover, Ai Haibara asks for nothing in return; her request not to be reported in the news is nothing compared to the small fraction of the life-saving grace she received.

If the reward for saving his life is so cheap, Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi doesn't know how he'll explain this to other high-ranking officials of the same rank. He can't very well say that he didn't repay his savior in any way, can he?

Beside Inspector General Moroboshi, Hideki Moroboshi, dressed in a red suit, stood obediently.

He was also quite shocked by Conan and Ai Haibara's appearance at that time.

Originally, Hideki Moroboshi was a staunch supporter of the bloodline theory, believing that these commoners were inherently incomparable to them, with an almost insurmountable gap between them. However, his opinion changed after the Tokyo National Stadium incident.

Celebrities and ordinary people alike only have one life; there is no distinction between them. His original idea was too narrow-minded.

"Also, Officer Mori, I heard that you resigned because of that shooting incident."

“I really think it’s a real shame to do this. Tokyo is in chaos right now, and we need officers like you with your marksmanship and skills to maintain order and uphold justice. Have you ever thought about returning to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?”

The invitation from Inspector General Moroboshi was unexpected for Kogoro Mouri.

When he worked at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he had almost no contact with people of the rank of Deputy Superintendent Moroboshi or Superintendent General Hakuba. He had only met Toshiro Odagiri a few times.

Now that the invitation from Inspector General Moroboshi has been extended, Kogoro Mouri is immediately flattered.

For the first time, he learned the word "humility" without being taught, and told Deputy Inspector Moroboshi how incompetent he was, what kind of commission he had to handle recently, and how he was too busy to do so.

Conan had no interest in such adult pleasantries.

Unlike Ai Haibara, he was only a 17-year-old high school student before he shrunk, and had never stepped into the adult world. Although he knew a little about these polite words, he felt that they were meaningless and unnecessary.

"Boring, isn't it? But this is a skill you'll definitely need to master in the future, right?"
