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

"I feel something's off."

Sonoko Suzuki watched as two whirlpools vaguely formed in the classroom.

Hondou Eisuke and Sera Masumi, who looked like they were about to split Class 2-B in two and start a big battle, blinked. She looked at Ito Tamanosuke next to her and asked in a low voice,

"What are you transfer students thinking?"

Ito Tamanosuke:?

What does it mean to be a transfer student?

The transfer students aren't from the same organization or the same place, so how could I possibly know what they're thinking?

To this, Ito Tamanosuke simply shook his head and said helplessly,

"I don't know."

"All I know about these two transfer students is that one is a boy who looks like a girl and the other is a girl who looks like a boy. If they joined a traveling theater troupe as a cross-dressing duo, they would definitely be very popular."

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Oh, is that even possible?

Sonoko Suzuki touched her chin.

However, she is somewhat interested in performing.

A while ago, she saw an anime called K-On! on TV, and her appearance used to resemble a character named Ritsu Tainaka from the anime.

Now I think it would be great to put together a girl band to perform, especially since Ms. Benzi from Polo Cafe is on good terms with her.

It seems like they're missing someone when they form a band with Xiaolan and Xiaozhi in the future? Nobody knows how to play bass, right?

"What? What are you thinking about?"

Sera Masumi suddenly leaned closer.

She asked curiously, intending to use the approachable Sonoko Suzuki as a springboard to reach Ran Mouri.

Sonoko Suzuki, however, said instinctively,

"I'm thinking about forming a girl group, but no one can play bass..."

"Hey, Sera-kun, when are you coming back?"

Sonoko Suzuki didn't finish her sentence.

The girl with the tiger teeth already said with a grin,

"Bass? I can play it. My older brother's friend taught me how to play bass."

That was four years ago at the train station.

At the time, her older brother, Shuichi Akai, was waiting for the train at the station, along with two of Shuichi Akai's friends: one was a guy with a tan complexion, and the other was a man called Scotland.

It was that guy known as the Scotsman who taught her to play bass; I never expected it to come in handy here.

Sonoko Suzuki said with some surprise,

"really?"

So, her girl band project can finally take off, right?

So it's not so strange that Sera Masumi, this tomboyish transfer student, is like this!

Thinking of this, Sonoko Suzuki blinked.

She suddenly thought of Chen En.

This Night Knight could perhaps also serve as a mascot or fill in for someone else.

So, what is Chen En doing at this time?

Chapter 550 Mercenary King

Just as Suzuki Sonoko was in the classroom wondering what Chen En was doing at that moment.

Chen Enzheng was speeding through the streets with Ai Haibara in his arms.

As everything around her seemed to flash by like fleeting shadows, Ai Haibara finally couldn't help but ask...

"You said you had things to do today, what exactly are you talking about?"

Ai Haibara still remembers when she and Chen En had just come downstairs.

Surrounded by reporters, Kogoro Mouri looked over for help, and then Chen En stepped on the gas and sped off even faster—the scene was, well, somewhat comical.

Although Kogoro Mouri himself probably doesn't find anything funny about this.

Hearing this, Chen En said calmly,

“Oracle, you should know that the Bat Cave is not just a collectible or a facility for collecting things.”

“That is a real strategic base. Therefore, a strategic base must have the characteristic of enabling rapid deployment. Obviously, I cannot move the Bat Cave underground in downtown Tokyo.”

"Therefore, I will take a different approach to this."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Ai Haibara's eyes.

She knew what Chen En was going to do.

As the saying goes, if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain.

For the Bat Cave to be of practical use, Chen En needs to be able to quickly enter the Bat Cave to complete the preparations. However, since the Bat Cave cannot be moved to the city, it means that if Chen En is still living in the apartment, he will not be able to access it immediately.

Therefore, Chen Enhui clearly only had one choice: to move.

Are you moving in today?

"Ai Haibara asked in a low voice."

Hearing this, Chen En shook his head slightly and replied,

"No, today is just to find a place for our next move."

"Because connecting the new home to the Bat Cave will require a certain amount of construction time, even if the location is chosen today, it will still take one to two days to ensure two-way connectivity."

"If nothing unexpected happens, our new home will likely be located in the suburbs."

The outskirts of Tokyo.

Ai Haibara blinked unconsciously at the mention of this geographical term.

It is difficult to establish a base in downtown Tokyo.

Because Tokyo is densely populated and has a large flow of people, if you don't want to attract attention when establishing a base, you can only establish the base in the suburbs of Tokyo.

It's not just Chen Enhui who has established a base in the suburbs; the Black Organization should also have established a base there.

However, she didn't know the exact location of the Black Organization's base on the outskirts of the city.

As Ai Haibara thought about this, her thoughts drifted away.

If the Black Organization were to deploy armed helicopters again in the suburban areas...

The Bat Cave is located in the suburbs. Could it be that a Black Organization armed helicopter might fly over the Bat Cave and be shot down by Chen En on the spot?

"That sounds pretty good."

Ai Haibara nodded and said so.

However, she tilted her head and asked a question.

"But didn't you say before that you rented an apartment across from the Mori Detective Agency to spy on Death?"

"Now that you've moved to the outskirts of Tokyo, your final location may not be far from Beika Town, but you can't keep an eye on Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo every day like before, can you?"

"So, you've finally given up on the theory that wherever Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo go, something terrible will happen?"

When asked about this, Chen En simply glanced at her with a slightly puzzled look, and then said it as if it were perfectly natural.

"What are you talking about? There's Noah's Ark."

At that moment, a familiar sound came from the car stereo.

Noah's Ark spoke with a somewhat relaxed and cheerful tone,

"Yes, Miss Oracle."

"Although Batman plans to move to the suburbs, it doesn't mean he's given up the apartment across from the Mouri Detective Agency. In fact, Mr. Batman has already bought that apartment building."

"Hidden cameras were installed in every room of the apartment building to monitor the Maori Detective Agency and the surrounding area."

"This will ensure that we can keep an eye on Death and the Plague God at all times, preventing the two great gods from leaving the Mouri Detective Agency without Batman's knowledge, thus bringing more disasters."

Ai Haibara: ?

Aren't you a super artificial intelligence?

Since it's a product of technology, you should just trust science!

Why do you talk as if you also believe that death and plague gods really exist in this world?

Ai Haibara stared at the car stereo for a while.

Then they abandoned this obviously foolish move.

Noah's Ark cannot see what is happening here.

Staring at the car stereo did nothing!

"We'll be at our destination soon."

"Noah's Ark, how's the investigation I asked you to do going?"

Chen En was focused on driving when he casually asked.

Upon hearing this, Noah's Ark paused briefly, seemingly retrieving data, before replying.

"Batman, the investigation is almost complete."

"Based on the Kanagawa Prefectural Police's investigation of the Zorro Bandit Gang's last crime scene, I can confirm that, in addition to Zorro himself, the Zorro Bandit Gang has gained another resident member with special skills."
