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

"You may not know this, but the explosives expert who carried out the two bombings seven years ago and three years ago seems to have recently returned to Tokyo and joined the Toshinkai."

"In other words, perhaps you can use this opportunity to regain the trust of Rum and that person."

Makoto Yata arrived behind Ireland.

He placed his hand on Ireland's shoulder and said softly,

"Vermouth would definitely agree with the plan to shift the blame onto the Dongchen Society."

"In this way, what caused Curaçao's death was no longer your plan, nor could it have been Vermouth's doing. Furthermore, you've found part of Curaçao's whereabouts and even want revenge for what happened to her."

Do you think that official and rum will support you because of this?

Perhaps.

Ireland squinted.

He knew that after Rum disappeared from Curaçao, most of his other subordinates were not in Japan and could not be mobilized in the short term. Therefore, if he could demonstrate his strength, Rum should not refuse to take him back.

His goodwill towards Vermouth might be appreciated by her, thus influencing the adult's thoughts.

It must be said that the power of the Death God... exceeded his expectations.

Chapter 546 Terrible Public Opinion

Today was a rare peaceful day.

Chen En stood by the window as always.

He held the cup of coffee, stared at the Mouri Detective Agency, shook his head, and then took a sip.

Although he felt that today should be considered a peaceful day.

However, some people clearly cannot calm down.

For example, Kogoro Mouri.

The sleeping detective simply went downstairs to Poirot Cafe to buy breakfast.

Reporters with their long lenses and short cannons surrounded Kogoro Mouri. In a short time, numerous reporters took turns attacking him, catching him off guard and forcing him to retreat step by step.

Just seeing this, Chen En couldn't help but sigh at the terrifying power of public opinion.

The more someone cares about their reputation, the more they are swayed by public opinion.

Fortunately, he wasn't the kind of person who cared about his reputation.

Just as moral blackmail can only be applied to moral people, public opinion blackmail can only be applied to those who care about their reputation. As long as they don't care about those things, they will not be affected by these external factors.

Looking at the lively scene across the street.

Chen En took another sip of coffee.

This Batman coffee helped him a lot, and now it has relieved his mental fatigue again, so much so that he didn't fall into a deep sleep this morning after staying up all night yesterday.

Bruce Wayne of Gotham City possesses the ability to experience fragmented sleep.

The brutal training deprived Bruce Wayne of his normal sleep needs, so much so that he could fall asleep anytime, anywhere, and immediately return to peak condition to join the battle when needed, requiring less than two hours of sleep a day.

Even when he is sober and has not committed any crime, he would pace back and forth in his castle.

So bored that he tricked Aquaman into coming to the Batcave to chat under the pretext of having a mission.

Although Chen En does not have that ability to sleep.

But he has coffee, so he can become a coffee fanatic, making up for any lack of energy with coffee.

Just as Chen En was observing the situation at the Mori Detective Agency across the street.

Behind them, Ai Haibara's room door was already open.

Ai Haibara yawned as she walked out of the room, acting as if she didn't consider herself an outsider at all.

She rubbed her eyes sleepily.

Seeing Chen En standing by the window, contemplating life as always, she felt relieved and went into the bathroom to wash up. After finishing everything, she quickly finished her breakfast.

Then, he skillfully moved a stool over and placed it next to Chen En. He then stepped onto the stool, leaned over the windowsill, and watched the play together.

"Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of this?"

"I think the news that reporters should be focusing on today is not this kind of thing. After all, you just solved an urban legend murder case yesterday, and then you stumbled upon a poison gas murder case."

"Shouldn't journalists and the media focus on those events?"

Ai Haibara stared at the bustling entrance of the Mouri Detective Agency for a while before asking a question.

Hearing this, Chen En glanced at Ai Haibara with some surprise.

He felt that it was impossible for Ai Haibara to look up such records in her groggy state when she woke up in the morning. After washing her face and waking up, she stayed by his side the whole time, from eating to moving chairs to watching the show together.

How did Ai Haibara know that he dealt with those two incidents last night?

The man, who was very likely the most famous detective of the 21st century, stroked his chin and then said,

"Looks like you stayed up late; you went to bed very late last night."

In response, Ai Haibara simply turned her head and glared fiercely at Chen En, then said...

"That's because of the comic books you bought."

"I stayed up all night last night and went through all twenty-four volumes of the comic book, but I couldn't find what you're looking for."

"Then, before going to bed, I asked the teacher to check the database and found the two most recently archived events of yours. I still remember them to this day. That's all. It wasn't that I wanted to stay up all night."

You'd better be.

Chen En shrugged, glanced at Kogoro Mouri, and explained,

"Oracle, you didn't see it clearly."

"The public opinion surrounding Kogoro Mouri is not generated by Kogoro Mouri, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, or any TV station or newspaper in pursuit of sales, but because the murderer needs public opinion."

"The murderer needed public opinion to mislead Kogoro Mouri and use it to increase the pressure on Kogoro Mouri, who cares about his reputation."

"He most likely intended to increase Kogoro Mouri's pressure in this way, so that when he encounters the scenario designed by the murderer, he will lose his normal judgment and thinking ability, thus allowing the murderer to achieve his goal."

However, Takeoka Isao never imagined this in his life.

The older brother he admired hadn't changed at all; he was still the same older brother, without the slightest change.

The reason why Kogoro Mouri went from being a clueless detective to the sleeping detective he is now has nothing to do with Kogoro Mouri himself. The real important thing is not Kogoro Mouri, but Conan, who is by his side.

Isao Takeoka's behavior of putting pressure only on Kogoro Mouri, but not on Conan.

In reality, he was digging his own grave, because Kogoro Mouri was Conan's restraint. If Kogoro Mouri didn't frequently throw Conan out of crime scenes, many cases would be solved much faster.

When Kogoro Mouri's thinking ability is limited due to pressure, it's Conan's turn to step in with his external brain.

"I see... It seems the murderer knows Kogoro Mouri very well."

Ai Haibara nodded slightly, then suddenly said.

Even if she didn't know that Chen En had previously deduced that Takeoka Isao was the murderer, and only had a superficial understanding of the case, she could still guess a lot of information from Chen En's words.

To impair Kogoro Mouri's reasoning abilities, we need to leverage public pressure.

To achieve this, a high degree of familiarity with Kogoro Mouri is essential. Only with a high enough level of familiarity with Kogoro Mouri can the murderer skillfully exploit this weakness for personal gain.

In other words, only someone close to Kogoro Mouri would be capable of doing such a thing.

Aside from Kogoro Mouri's close associates, no one else could possibly scheme against him to this extent. It can only be said that the classic saying, "If you want to plot against someone, you must stand behind that person," is truly insightful.

Kogoro Mouri was unlucky in love.

Even Ai Haibara, who had little contact with Kogoro Mouri, had already figured it out.

However, she not only felt that Kogoro Mouri had met the wrong person, but also that Conan and Chen En had absolutely terrible luck.

However, while Ai Haibara was still watching the show...

Chen En turned around, tilted his head, and spoke to Ai Haibara beside him.

"Let's go, we still have things to do."

Is there anything else to do?

A hint of doubt appeared in Ai Haibara's eyes.

Chapter 547 Stop being a detective, Kogoro Mouri

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys should really stop this now!"

In front of Poirot Cafe, Kogoro Mouri was forced to retreat repeatedly by the reporters' long lenses and microphones.

Just as he was lamenting to himself how unlucky he was to run into this kind of thing when he went downstairs to buy breakfast, he saw Chen En and Ai Haibara coming downstairs and starting their car.

Upon seeing Chen En, Kogoro Mouri felt as if he had seen a savior.

He quickly waved to Chen En, hoping to draw Chen En's attention to this side.

However, Chen En merely glanced at Kogoro Mouri's location, then, as if he had seen a ghost, drove off with Ai Haibara in tow, instantly disappearing from Kogoro Mouri's sight.

Mori Kogoro:?

I'm telling you, you naturally evil little bat devil, isn't this a bit too disloyal?

Wow, I really misjudged you. I'm in trouble now, come and help me out of this predicament!

Kogoro Mouri's face darkened.

Indeed, people can only rely on themselves.

Now, we still need to use the intelligence of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri to get through this difficult situation!

"Really..."
