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

Conan broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Because he hadn't thought that far ahead; he just knew Ran was in danger, so he used Shinichi Kudo's voice to buy time.

Looking back now, it was a real mistake for him to use Shinichi Kudo's voice to speak directly with Ran, even when Kogoro Mouri was right next to him.

I should have used Chen En's voice.

Inspector Megure, who was taking statements from others nearby, also turned to look in their direction and asked curiously.

"Did Kudo arrive just now?"

"I remember Conan just said he was going to the bathroom, and then he ran away from the deceased's apartment. I didn't expect that he was going to meet with Kudo."

"Oh dear, Brother Kudo, you've been quite unethical this time."

"You came back to Beika Town without even saying hello. I was counting on Kudo to help me solve cases every day like before."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but feel a little emotional as he spoke.

"Back then, Kudo was so efficient at solving cases, while Mori would pretend to look at the scene for a while before going to sleep."

"Brother Chen En isn't always able to help. It's Brother Kudo who's always there whenever there's a case that's reliable."

Conan, Kogoro Mouri, Chen En: ?

Hakime, you seem to be getting a bit arrogant.

It's good enough if someone helps you get free sales results; why be picky?

Takagi Wataru, who was taking a statement nearby, asked curiously,

"By the way, Mr. Chen En."

"Do you have any other thoughts on the previous case of Ryozo Gamo's suicide?"

“Our investigation into that case has reached a stalemate, and Detective Mori hasn’t been able to sleep. This can’t go on.”

Upon hearing this, Chen En turned his head to look at Takagi Wataru.

A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes, then he asked directly,

"Didn't Hakuba Saguru go with you to investigate the scene at Ryusui-tei?"

"Given his abilities, he should have been able to see the details of this case. Didn't he tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri scratched the back of his head and said in surprise.

"What? Hakuba Saguru has actually returned to Tokyo?"

"Honestly, what kind of reasoning ability does that guy have? I can't see any reasoning ability at all!"

At this point, Kogoro Mouri launched into a long and detailed explanation.

"Previously, Hakuba Saguru said at the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall that he would rely on my experience in dealing with Kaito Kid and invited me to visit."

"As a result, when I arrived at the scene, they treated me like a mere accessory, completely using me as a stepping stone, to talk about their understanding of Kaito Kid!"

"In the end, he tried to deal with Kaito Kid, but Kaito Kid got away. He's obviously just a foolish high school detective with a reputation but no real skills!"

Upon hearing this, both Wataru Takagi and Inspector Megure fell silent.

Putting aside the fact that Hakuba Saguru is the son of Superintendent General Hakuba, even just looking at Hakuba Saguru's abilities, he is truly capable.

However, this case...

Takagi Wataru shook his head and said,

"Detective Hakuba only said that the case was indeed a homicide, not a suicide. After asking about the situation and confirming that Detective Mori was also investigating the case, he said that Mori's presence was enough."

Huh? You trust me that much?

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri's attitude completely changed, and he said with a smile.

"Oh my, I've always thought Hakuba Saguru was a good kid!"

"His reasoning ability is still reliable, after all, he can tell at a glance that I, the great detective Kogoro Mouri, am the greatest detective in the world!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

A famous detective? The best in the world? You?

If Kogoro Mouri is the world's greatest detective, then we would rather choose Sherlock Holmes the calico cat as the world's greatest detective.

Seeing that Conan was still hesitating and thinking.

Sera Masumi scooped Conan up in her arms, gave him a good squeeze, and with an expression that said, "Wow, he's so cute!", she laughed and said...

"Well, it's not impossible that Shinichi Kudo will return to Tokyo."

"Think about it, if Shinichi Kudo really cared about Ran, he certainly wouldn't do something that would ruin Uncle Mori's reputation, right?"

"So it's understandable that Shinichi Kudo rushed back to Tokyo overnight to help Uncle Mori solve the case, and then left in a hurry."

Conan: !

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding appeared in Conan's eyes.

Ah, so that's what I was thinking.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student nodded quickly and said.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it."

Then Sera Masumi changed the subject and said...

"It's also possible that Shinichi Kudo shrunk and became Conan, and in a moment of crisis, he used Shinichi Kudo's voice to help us deal with the robbers!"

Conan hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously said...

"Yes, yes, that's it..."

Conan: ?

"No, no, that's not how it works!"

"How could I possibly be Shinichi's older brother?! How could there possibly be such an absurd thing as a potion that reverses aging in this world?!"

"Brother Chen En, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En stroked his chin.

He did not answer the question directly, but simply said...

"Shinichi Kudo is indeed taking the case that Uncle Mori is investigating very seriously, and he is secretly investigating and working hard for it."

"If you don't believe me, you can call Mr. and Mrs. Kudo. They are in Beika Town right now. No one knows more about Shinichi Kudo than them."

That's how things have come to this.

The doubts in everyone's hearts were finally dispelled.

However, Hondo Eisuke focused his attention on Conan, because he felt that what Sera Masumi said made some sense.

If there's Batman in this world, is it really that hard to understand to have a drug that reverses aging?

Perhaps he could ask Shinichi Kudo to help him investigate his sister's affairs...

Chapter 565 Split Operation

"Now that the statement has been taken, Takagi and I will head back."

Inspector Megure stated this.

However, before Inspector Megure could finish speaking, Conan suddenly looked up and said something.

"Memu Police Department."

“When Shinichi contacted me before, he mentioned his opinion on this case. He believes that the murderer in this case should be Takeoka Isao.”

"However, there is currently no evidence to prove that Takeoka Isao is the murderer."

Kogoro Mouri, standing nearby, frowned.

He didn't believe at all that Takeoka Isao might be the murderer, after all, Takeoka Isao was his close friend and relative, how could he deliberately frame him?

However, in Chen En's view...

This is just another instance of Kogoro Mouri misjudging people.

We should have gotten used to this by now.

Chen En didn't say much.

But Kogoro Mouri spoke up.

"Seriously, are you sure Shinichi really said that? I don't think he could be the murderer."

"If Takeoka Isao really the murderer, then why would he not stay away from me, the world's number one detective, but instead actively approach me? Wouldn't that be courting death?"

As Kogoro Mouri spoke, he didn't forget to praise himself, leaving Wataru Takagi and Inspector Megure speechless.

However, Kogoro Mouri didn't think in that direction. Instead, Inspector Megure seemed to remember something and spoke cautiously.

"Detective White Horse mentioned this before."

"If Brother Mori comes to the conclusion that Takeoka Isao is the suspect, then let Brother Mori come to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department tonight to have a chat with him."

"So, does this mean that Mori-kun has come to this conclusion?"

"Anyway, Kudo isn't in Tokyo, so I think Detective Hakuba should have other evidence or deductions."

"How about you and Conan come back to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department with me and ask Detective Hakuba directly, what do you think?"

Hakuba Saguru?

A hint of surprise flashed in Conan's eyes; he was quite impressed with this guy who imitated Sherlock Holmes.

Although he may seem flashy, he does possess exceptional reasoning abilities.

Furthermore, with access to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's database, Hakuba Saguru, backed by this information, has a significant advantage over him when dealing with cases involving insiders or former insiders committing crimes.

Perhaps Hakuba Saguru has indeed found out something.
