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

Kogoro Mouri's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Does this mean he really has to say goodbye to the detective profession?

Thinking of this, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Even the hand that was holding the letter fell limply, and he became listless.

Damn it, now Gamo Ryozo is dead, Shinkyo Isuke is dead, and Yamane Yasushi knows nothing.

Doesn't that mean the case is now completely disconnected?

Even if Kogoro Mouri were still in charge now, and both Ryozo Gamo and Shinkyo Isuke committed suicide, it would be meaningless now. At most, it would only prolong their dying struggle for a couple more days.

After all, Kogoro Mouri can't even find a new suspect right now!

Just as Kogoro Mouri's hand, which was gripping the letter, dropped to its lower position.

Conan snatched the letter directly from Kogoro Mouri's hand.

He quickly spread the letter out in front of him, his gaze falling on it, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes, because he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this suicide note.

If Shinkyo Isuke intended to commit suicide because of the pressure exerted by Kogoro Mouri.

However, the one under pressure now is clearly Kogoro Mouri, who hired reporters to put him in the media spotlight. There is no media coverage of Shinkyo Isuke being a criminal suspect, so what pressure could Shinkyo Isuke possibly be under?

He also saw Shinkyo Ikei looking extremely happy when he contacted a lawyer to discuss the inheritance issue.

You're saying that someone like that would feel guilty about being questioned for murder, and then give up the huge inheritance and company that was about to be his, and just hang himself?

If this were told to others, who would believe it?

"...handwriting analysis."

Conan adjusted his non-prescription glasses.

A flash of white light streaked across the lens.

His words puzzled Takagi Wataru, who was squatting down next to him.

Takagi Wataru blinked, then asked,

"Conan, what did you just say? I didn't quite catch that..."

“I said that handwriting analysis suggests this suicide note is very likely a forgery.”

Conan's attention was completely focused on the letter, and he spoke earnestly.

Only when he realized that everyone was looking at him because of his words did he quickly put his phone back in his pocket, stroke his chin, and pretend to be clueless, saying...

"Haha, this, this is what Brother Chen En taught me!"

Mori Kogoro:?

What did that naturally evil bat brat teach you?

Kogoro Mouri shook his head, finding the matter unsurprising.

However, after stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said.

"Hey, that makes sense."

"Inspector Megure, please have a handwriting expert examine this suicide note to see if it was written by the deceased."

Hearing this, Inspector Megure nodded, took the suicide note from Conan, put it back in the envelope, and then said,

"It seems there are no other options left now."

"Then let's do it Conan's way."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, at least no one doubted his true identity.

However, just as Conan breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately sensed that someone was watching him. He subconsciously looked up in that direction and saw Takeoka Isao's gaze.

A hint of surprise and inquiry flickered in the eyes of the retired detective who had once worked in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.

He didn't expect that Conan would notice something that Kogoro Mouri hadn't.

Moreover, he knew nothing about Chen En, whom Conan mentioned. He had never seen him when he came to the Mouri Detective Agency before. Everyone else was familiar with Chen En, but he was the only one who did not know him. Who exactly was Chen En?

While Takeoka Isao was still pondering.

Conan then put his hands in his pockets.

He pondered Chen En's situation.

Although he knew that Chen En was only an unofficial member of the Junior Detective Club, and that the members of the Junior Detective Club might not necessarily send a message to Chen En to explain the situation, Ai Haibara was with Chen En when she went out this morning.

If Ai Haibara saw the message sent by the Detective Boys, she would probably pass it on to Chen En, right?

There shouldn't be too much of a rush; we can wait until the investigation here is over.

He should call Xiaolan again; it won't take much time anyway.

"Oh dear, Batman."

"The situation seems to have changed a little."

Ai Haibara leaned against the wall of the main villa of the manor and said meaningfully.

She waved her phone, signaling Chen En to shift his attention from the manor environment to her phone.

After glancing at the interior of the manor, Chen En thought it could be used as a base.

Then he turned to look at Ai Haibara, a question mark appearing above his head.

Chen En: ?

What's going on? Is the Pramie finally going to blow up Shibuya?

You might as well put it more clearly.

Chapter 555 Ominous Signs

"High school boy?"

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

His gaze froze on the manor surroundings outside, a sense of familiarity welling up within him, as if he had heard of something similar before. The memory palace, containing countless memories, immediately unfolded before him.

Since it felt familiar to him, it must have been a scene from one of Conan's famous episodes.

Therefore, he now needs to examine his memory to see if this is just his imagination or if he has actually seen this scene on TV or in a comic book.

Ai Haibara, however, had no idea what Chen En was thinking.

She blinked, a little puzzled, then walked to Chen En's side, leaned over, and peered at him. Seeing that Chen En seemed lost in thought, his eyes glazed over, she said with some surprise,

"No way, are you also stunned by this overwhelming fact?"

Well, I can understand that.

Although we don't know Chen En's situation, judging from what she saw of her sister and Moroboshi Dai's interactions, Chen En is most likely different from Moroboshi Dai and doesn't have this kind of experience.

It's not surprising that people would be shocked by something like this at this time.

Ai Haibara shook her head.

She put her phone back in her coat pocket, then stood on tiptoe and patted Chen En's waist gently, saying,

"Don't worry, what if it's something else? Like a male best friend?"

There was no response, and Chen En's consciousness instantly returned to his body from the Hall of Memories.

A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he immediately ran quickly towards the outside of the manor. Ai Haibara hesitated for a moment before following Chen En with all her might.

After getting out of breath, I got into Chen En's car and headed back to Chen En's apartment.

Ai Haibara then spoke, somewhat out of breath.

"Oh, really... in such a hurry?"

Hearing this, Chen En turned his head and glanced at Ai Haibara.

He was surprised that Ai Haibara had a hobby of gossip, but he didn't keep her in suspense and said,

"I told you, I am a transmigrator who traveled from the real world into the comic book world."

"I have a general recollection of the famous scenes in this manga, as well as the background and consequences of those scenes. And what you just mentioned—'The high school boy has Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki on his arms, and the Detective Boys are sending messages'…"

"This corresponds to a very serious and heinous incident in my memory."

A very serious and heinous incident?

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

I hope you won't tell me later that you solved that serious incident through sheer willpower.

It was as if they knew what Ai Haibara was thinking.

Chen En explained in a low voice,

"The Junior Detective Club sent a message saying that the 'male high school student' they saw was not actually a real male high school student."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the high school boy's name should be Sera Masumi, Akai Shuichi's younger sister. She came to Tokyo with her mother, Akai Mary, who was also turned into a child by taking APTX-4869, in search of an antidote."

"Because they had seen Shinichi Kudo when he was a child, they concluded that Shinichi Kudo had also taken drugs."

"After disappearing and shrinking, Shinichi Kudo reappeared in the case of the diplomat murder and solved the case with Heiji Hattori. This would likely make them think that Shinichi Kudo has the antidote, so they deliberately approached Shinichi Kudo."

"Ran Mouri is a stepping stone used by Mary Akai and Masumi Sera to get close to Conan."

"Once it is confirmed that Conan is indeed Shinichi Kudo, Sera Masumi and Akai Mary will consider meeting Conan formally in order to indirectly obtain the antidote for Shinichi Kudo's APTX-4869."

"It is worth mentioning that Mary Akai is a member of MI6."

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's eyes finally turned serious.

In fact, she had already become serious when she heard the specific term "Shuichi Akai's sister".
