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

A hint of speechlessness appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He shook his head, sighed, and then said,

"Sigh, magic is such a convenient and all-powerful thing, of course I want to learn it, but I can't."

Unlike the magic systems of the DC and Marvel universes.

The magic system in the Detective Conan universe is almost free of cost; it can only be said that there is an inherent difference between Western and Eastern comics in their imagination of extraordinary power.

Chen En had considered learning magic from the beginning.

However, Koizumi Akako is the Crimson Witch, and her lineage is not only limited to women, but also passed down through a single lineage, and even has bloodline requirements. He couldn't possibly kill Koizumi Akako, then gender-modify her, and then replace her bone marrow and blood with his own, could he?

This is a bit too outrageous, and there's no guarantee you'll even be able to learn it.

However… Ai Haibara is…

Chen En stroked his chin, his gaze falling on Ai Haibara.

Logically speaking, since Ai Haibara and Conan are the type who shrink after taking APTX-4869, and their bloodlines contain some kind of mystical or demonic nature, they might be able to try training in magic.

I'll take Ai Haibara to meet Akako Koizumi another day. Anyway, Akako Koizumi knows that Ai Haibara is Shiho Miyano.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ai Haibara blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She looked down at herself, then looked up at Chen En, and asked curiously.

"Could it be that the magician you're referring to is a magical girl, someone who can only transform into a magical girl if she's a woman of a certain age?"

So you think I can become a magical girl?

Chen En: ?

His imagination has surpassed that of ordinary people.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not entirely wrong to call Koizumi Akako a magical girl, since she seems to possess all the attributes of a magical girl, so it's a plausible way to say that.

Forget it, let's not discuss this anymore.

Today, let Noah's Ark help me check if there are any legends of magical creatures or rumors of magicians in Tokyo. It would be interesting if there were any strange-looking things like Solomon Grandi in Tokyo.

After all, when Koizumi Akako summoned the Fallen Angels, she actually used parts of magical creatures as medium materials.

"You're free now, go play somewhere else, okay?"

Chen En ruffled Ai Haibara's hair and spoke in a coaxing tone towards a child.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara couldn't help but ask a question mark.

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

Don't think that I've perfectly blended into the elementary school level after shrinking like Shinichi Kudo. I haven't been affected by hormones and my mind hasn't regressed to an elementary school state!

Ai Haibara grabbed Chen En's hand, trying to pull it away firmly and forcefully.

Then, Chen En took out a pendant doll of Higo Ryusuke.

Ai Haibara: ?

Ai Haibara, who had failed to yawn, quietly took the pendant doll of Higo Ryusuke from Chen En's hand. After telling Chen En not to tell Conan, she began to examine the doll.

As for Chen En's sinful hand that patted my head like I was petting a cat... well, never mind, I won't get hurt anyway.

Just like the real Batman.

Chen En was also very accomplished in the area of ​​civil war.

This is not only reflected in the backup plans for others, but also in catering to their preferences. For example, he remembered that Ai Haibara liked her soccer idol, Ryusuke Higo, so he specially prepared some merchandise for them in case of need.

It's worth mentioning that he also prepared Rekatis-themed pendants.

This is for dealing with Conan. Just take out this pendant and it will definitely stop Conan's breath halfway through!

"By the way, Haibara, did you know that witches lose their magic when they cry?"

Chen En suddenly remembered that Ai Haibara also had some knowledge of the occult.

He asked directly.

However, upon hearing this question, Ai Haibara simply raised her head, looked at Chen En with some suspicion, and then said,

"All I know is that in fairy tales, the devil loses his magic once he sheds tears."

"If the magician you're talking about loses his magic when he cries, then I think you might not have encountered a magician at all, but a demon disguised as a magician...maybe."

(This is a quote from Ai Haibara in episodes 532-533 of "The Devil on TV".)

Is that so?

Chen En thought for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Could it be that the magic system in the world of Detective Conan isn't actually as costless as he imagines, but rather a system involving signing contracts with demons or hell lords to obtain magic power?

He's not Constantine; he doesn't have such low standards to fool the Lord of Hell and the devil!

Chapter 507 Why is this four-eyed guy everywhere?

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

"Damn it, I didn't sleep another night. Honestly, why does Chen En always stop halfway through his sentences? It feels like he's torturing me like he's training a hawk!"

Conan, sporting dark circles under his eyes, sat up from the tatami mat.

He spent half the night pondering it, feeling that Chen En's attitude was problematic. He suspected that this Gamo Ryozo might not be entirely innocent, and there was a sense that Chen En was trying to emulate the old Dracula villa incident.

Yes, the old story of Dracula's villa.

Conan felt that given Chen En's personality, since he entered Torakura Daisuke's locked room with Mouri Kogoro, there was no reason not to put a listening device or other gadgets inside.

Chen En couldn't possibly be unaware of the attack on Torakura Daisuke, yet he still entered the secret room only after Torakura Daisuke was killed.

However, he had no reason to blame Chen En. Although life is of utmost importance, he only had the right to save people, not the right to accuse others of failing to help those in distress. That would be moral blackmail.

"Could it be that Gamo Ryozo really was murdered, and the person who killed him was someone who had a grudge against Gamo Ryozo...?"

Conan frowned and pondered.

He slowly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, sporting dark circles under his eyes.

It wasn't until the cold water hit his face that Conan's thoughts finally came to a full focus. He quickly finished washing up, jumped off the stool, placed the stool he was using as a step stool aside, and walked towards the living room.

He was still pondering what Chen En's intentions were this time.

Since Chen En used the word "if," it means that Chen En was probably unsure whether Gamo Ryozo was dead or alive, but Gamo Ryozo was probably guilty in Chen En's eyes, but this crime could not be resolved privately.

That's why Chen En said he would send Gamo Ryozo to prison again tomorrow, which means that this is the only way to deal with Gamo Ryozo.

Is Chen En planning to use bait, just like he did with Thomas Sindora?

Conan quickly came to a conclusion.

He stroked his chin, thinking as he walked, and soon arrived at the dining table. Kogoro Mouri, who was already sitting at the table, suddenly sharpened his eyes and delivered a powerful punch!

"Kid, what have you been thinking about?"

"When it's time to eat, just eat properly and don't do any unnecessary or irrelevant things!"

Conan: ?

Conan, who had been punched for no apparent reason, crouched down with tears in his eyes, covering his head in defense.

Upon seeing this, Ran Mouri, who had just brought the miso soup from the kitchen, thought: ?

Sometimes, a food chain exists within the Mori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri → Conan → Ran Mouri → Kogoro Mouri

For example, right now.

After being lectured by Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to bury his head in his rice.

Ran Mouri sat next to Conan, gently rubbing his head with a pained expression, and tenderly asked if he was still in pain. Conan answered her in a soft, appreciative voice.

This kind of thing has become second nature to us.

Putting everything else aside, if he were to actually revert from Conan Edogawa to Shinichi Kudo, he would probably need a few days to adjust to his new identity before he could interact with Ran Mouri as before.

Otherwise, Conan wouldn't even dare to imagine himself turning back into Shinichi Kudo.

If he were to unconsciously blurt out "Ah-leh-leh" or "How strange!" while chatting with Ran Mouri, the effect would be absolutely explosive. He felt his head was probably not as hard as the telephone poles outside.

After quickly finishing breakfast.

Conan left quickly from the third floor of the Mouri Detective Agency after saying, "I'm going to find Chen En."

Ran Mouri, who didn't have class today, started clearing the dishes and preparing to clean the utensils. Kogoro Mouri muttered that the kid seemed to be spending more and more time with Chen En lately, and then went upstairs to open the agency.

It's true that there are still commissions from Gamo Ryozo.

However, Gamo Ryozo's commission is not urgent; it's a long-term one. He'll probably need to take on some other new commissions to handle, right? If only there were still deals like before where you could easily find cats and dogs and get a million yen in commission.

Kogoro Mouri leaned back in his chair, his feet propped up on the computer desk, muttering to himself.

Conan quickly walked out through the internal staircase.

He glanced at the signboard girl in the Polo Cafe and, noticing that Chen En and Ai Haibara were not there, immediately concluded that they must have had breakfast at home that day.

However, just as Conan was about to rush straight to Chen En's apartment.

Two familiar figures appeared in his line of sight, causing Conan to instinctively stop in his tracks.

He said with some surprise,

"Officer Takagi, Officer Chiba, what are you doing here?"

Still seemingly reeling from the incident with Sato Miwako and somewhat dejected, Takagi Wataru glanced around before realizing the voice was coming from below. He quickly looked down at Conan and replied,

"Of course it's because of a heinous murder!"
