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

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

While it was indeed a bit arrogant, it didn't warrant such a morally reprehensible act, did it?

It's as if that person is about to die.

In fact, Chen En could say with certainty that one of the three was going to die.

Because, as soon as the three of them got together, the security mission interface popped up in front of Chen En's eyes.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

The low difficulty level means that only one person will die.

In other words, it was a choice of three. Chen En felt that in Beika Town, the person who jumped the most usually died. Therefore, he thought that it was the right thing for Kaneda to do.

Kyogoku Makoto, who was next to Chen En, turned his head to look at the main restaurant area.

However, his model and temperament were clearly inferior to Chen En's. Even if he followed the same movements and tried his best to imitate Chen En's expressions, he still couldn't match Chen En's handsomeness. So, he sighed.

Ugh, that damned Phantom Thief Kid, how come he can't learn this natural skill of showing off?

Hakuba Saguru, however, didn't take the matter to heart.

He hadn't spent much time in Tokyo, and even less time in Beika Town. He didn't yet have a clear understanding of the extraordinary nature of the people in Beika Town, so in his eyes, this was just an ordinary dispute.

It wouldn't escalate to the point of a heinous murder; Chen En was simply exaggerating.

"Alright, let's just go there."

Jirokichi Suzuki, who had just ordered his food, turned around and came back.

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, he blinked and said with some confusion,

Did I just miss something?

The bodyguard next to Suzuki Jirokichi leaned closer and whispered,

"Boss, it sounds like there was an argument here just now."

Suzuki Jirokichi: ?

Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I would have gone to another store and saved myself from ruining my good mood.

Well, since I've already ordered, I might as well reluctantly sit down and eat.

"Let's go, to VIP room number two!"

"That's what Suzuki Jirokichi said."

He led the way across the small red bridge, and just then, a small boat loaded with food drifted past under the bridge, heading towards the window of the reserved private room.

Upon seeing this, Chen En's gaze lingered briefly on the small boat.

After everyone else had entered room number two, he turned to the waiter and asked in a low voice,

How many types of ships do you have here for transporting food?

Hearing this, the waiter paused for a moment, but still answered.

There are five different sizes of transport wooden boats.

"Sir, why are you asking this?"

Chen En pondered for a moment, then asked,

"How big is your largest wooden boat?"

This problem stumped the waiter.

Normally, no one would ask such a tricky question. After all, most diners are there to bring food, not to actually ride the wooden boat. Who would ask what the specifications of the wooden boat are?

Just as the waiter was pondering and hesitating, a ship sailed out of the port.

Chen En's gaze fell on the ship. He quickly calculated the ship's approximate dimensions in his mind and then came to a conclusion that the ship's interior contained small components such as small electric motors.

The extra space should be enough to fit one person.

As we all know, the creativity of creative restaurants is often used to kill people. So, does that mean someone might hide a body on a transport ship, or use a transport ship as a hiding place to commit murder?

Chapter 520 If you continue like this, I'll have to retire and return to my hometown!

"Ah-en, why are you coming in so late?"

"I was just a little lost on the road of life for a short while."

In response to Sonoko Suzuki's question, Chen En calmly replied.

Then he noticed that Suzuki Jirokichi had taken out sake and changed to a large cup, as if he wanted to fill everyone's cups, while Kyogoku Makoto and Hakuba Saguru did not seem to react much to this.

Perhaps they think that sake isn't really alcohol, and that it's okay to drink a few cups.

However, Chen En said seriously,

"Uncle, I don't drink alcohol."

"Don't drink alcohol, go to the table with the kids."

"Oh."

In the end, the waiter brought over a bottle of juice.

Chen En sat at the edge of the dining table, his gaze occasionally falling on the transport boats moving on the water. He held a glass in one hand, took a sip of juice, and then looked at Kyogoku Makoto and Hakuba Saguru, who were already slightly drunk after drinking a few glasses.

Well, with this level of alcohol tolerance, you shouldn't be drinking.

Although it might sound a little shameful to sit at the same table with kids without drinking alcohol.

But it's still much better than forcing yourself to drink when you can't drink at all, or getting completely lost in your own world after just a few drinks and not knowing what the world is like. At least you won't get drunk and cause trouble or hit people.

Chen En made a rough estimate of how he could subdue the drunken Makoto Kyogoku within this range as quickly as possible.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing nearby, held a glass of juice in both hands and asked curiously,

"Arn, you keep glancing at the transport ship, are you waiting for your food to be served?"

"We ordered quite late, so the food will probably take a little while to arrive. If you're really hungry, I have some chocolate bars in my bag, you can have them if you're hungry."

Chen En: ?

Why do you keep chocolate bars in your bag?

Do you think this mountain temple is actually far away in the mountains, so you brought chocolate bars to quickly replenish your energy just in case? Besides, I didn't say I was hungry.

Chen En waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly realized what was going on.

When Batman waves his hand, it doesn't usually mean he doesn't want to, but rather that there's no need to say anything more.

So she took a chocolate bar out of her bag, put it directly into Chen En's free hand, and looked at him expectantly, saying,

"Ah-en, eat up, I know you're hungry."

Chen En: ?

How come I don't know I'm hungry?

Chen En reluctantly placed the glass of juice aside.

He picked up the chocolate bar, slowly tore open the packaging, and just as the large wooden transport ship carrying food passed by, he finished tearing open the packaging and shook his free hand.

A bugging device appeared silently on the side of the large transport ship.

Chen En took a big bite of a chocolate bar, touched his earphones with his free hand, adjusted the volume, and then began to concentrate on dealing with Suzuki Sonoko's offensive.

At the other table, Makoto Kyogoku and Saguru Hakuba were already feeling the effects of the alcohol and had stopped drinking.

But Suzuki Jirokichi and Goto Zengo were still drinking, seemingly inexhaustible in their drinking, which left Kyogoku Makoto and Hakuba Saguru watching in awe.

After the large wooden transport ship passed through compartment number two, it returned to the galley once more, fully loaded with cargo, and set off again.

This time, the large wooden transport ship stopped precisely at the window where Chen En was. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen En quickly moved the dishes from the deck of the large wooden ship to the dining table, while also taking the opportunity to observe the situation in the adjacent private room.

At this very moment, inside VIP room number three.

Jin Tian, ​​who was making a ruckus earlier, and the other two were drinking and eating in the private room, seemingly without any serious incident occurring. However, Chen En was certain that one of the three would become the murderer and the victim.

The system's task release may be unreliable in terms of timing, arriving early or late, but its accuracy will certainly not be wrong.

A vicious murder is bound to occur among the three people next door.

He needs to determine when the heinous murder might occur and then find an opportunity to intercept it, or intercept the perpetrator immediately after the incident.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity, he sent two listening devices into the next room.

"Come on, keep drinking!"

"Liquor is the source of energy and spirit; the more you drink, the more energetic you become!"

"I can't breathe!" Suzuki Jirokichi said loudly.

The protective box containing the amber kylin was casually placed to the side, as if it were nothing more than a small trinket, which made Makoto Kyogoku smirk and think to himself how good it is to be rich.

Hakuba Saguru, who was standing next to him, also seemed to notice the box.

Although the Hakuba family is quite wealthy, they are not so rich as to buy an amber Kirin just to have a showdown with Kaito Kid, and they don't care about the Kirin at all, casually putting it aside.

"Oh dear, Mr. Suzuki, if you make me drink this again, then I, Goto Zengo, will have to retire and go back to my hometown!"

Goto Zengo waved his hand, refusing.

Although drinking more wouldn't make a difference—he could never get drunk on sake—it was still alcohol, and if he drank too much, he would still become somewhat disoriented.

Moreover, he's both a bodyguard and a driver.
