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

Since Brother Chen En already has a plan for solving the case, there is absolutely no need to seek help from other famous detectives. Inspector Megure is not the kind of person who is fickle!

"Could you please investigate this?"

Chen En's gaze fell on Fujino Yasuo.

Upon seeing this, Fujino Yasuo immediately realized that he had been exposed.

Because officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department have already arrived at the scene, he doesn't even have a chance to destroy the murder weapon.

Fujino Yasuo's face was ashen.

He collapsed to the ground, covering his face, looking like he was about to burst into tears; he had clearly suffered a bipolar disorder attack.

"No need to investigate, I am the murderer."

"I killed the store manager, but I don't regret it, because the store manager deserved to die!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure was taken aback.

Even the attention of many police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, as well as onlookers, and even Chen En and Chima Kazuyo, was drawn to Fujino Yasuo.

Oh, do you have some unavoidable reason that forces you to kill someone?

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

He tapped Noah's Ark lightly with his finger, asking it to help investigate information about Fujino Yasuo.

If Fujino Yasuo truly had a compelling reason to kill, then it's not impossible for him to find a suitable lawyer for Fujino Yasuo.

While Eri Kisaki certainly wouldn't take on such a case, there are plenty of renowned lawyers willing to defend criminal cases, and she could seek a reduced sentence.

"Tell me about it."

“Mr. Fujino, we will record everything you say in a statement, which will be submitted as evidence in the subsequent court hearing.”

Please reconsider your statement.

Inspector Megure said solemnly.

Fujino Yasuo suddenly raised his head, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, and shouted.

"The store manager ruined my dream of running a restaurant!"

"I made an agreement with the store manager three years ago: if I win a prize in a pastry competition and work in the store for three years, I can start my own business!"

"But I had already won the award and worked for three years, yet she broke her contract!"

"She rejected my request to start my own business!"

At this point, Fujino Yasuo broke down in tears and said in a low voice.

"Because she ruined my dream of making food, that's why I want to kill her and get my revenge!"

The crowd of onlookers remained silent.

Several people with sensitive nerves were moved to tears, and even Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi fell silent.

However, Chen En remained unfazed.

Not only did Chen En remain unfazed, but Senma Kazuyo beside him was equally unmoved.

So that's why you killed him.

There's nothing we can do then. If you're afraid, don't kill; if you kill, don't be afraid. If you're outmatched and get caught, what's there to say?

"Alas, Mr. Fujino has his reasons."

"The sales clerk at the counter next to me said in a low voice."

Chen En: ?

However, don't you feel that your jobs are about to disappear?

As expected, the people of Beika Town are all emotional beings; no wonder they are quick to kill.

"Takagi, go find the murder weapon, take a statement, and we should call it a day."

Inspector Megure gave instructions to Wataru Takagi.

In response, Officer Takagi had no choice but to do as Inspector Megure instructed.

However, he had no complaints about it.

Inspector Megure's term as a police inspector has ended, but his hasn't. This is also part of his performance evaluation.

Seeing Takagi Wataru enter Fujino Yasuo's studio to look for the murder weapon, Inspector Megure also seized the opportunity to come to Chen En's side.

Chen En: ?

The case is already solved, why aren't you packing up? What are you doing following me? Do you want some cake too?

Under Chen En's somewhat bewildered gaze, Inspector Megure patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said something meaningful.

"Ah, Brother Chen En."

Have you noticed that your luck seems to be getting worse lately, and you seem to encounter vicious murders wherever you go?

"I know that the fortune-telling at Meiji Shrine has been particularly effective for changing one's luck lately."

"How about I take you to Meiji Shrine to change your luck? Maybe it can reduce your chances of encountering a heinous murder?"

Chen En: ?

Why do you think I have bad luck?

Compared to the frequency with which Kogoro Mouri and his crew encounter cases, my frequency is already very low.

Chen En's face darkened.

However, before Chen En could say anything, the voice of Noah's Ark started playing in his earphones.

Batman.

"Next, I will guide you to the shortest route to Meiji Shrine. I wish you a pleasant journey to change your luck."

Chen En: ?

You seem to need to be unplugged.

Although as an artificial intelligence, you cannot feel the weight of a belt, I can give you a sense of what the weight of a cyber belt is like.

Make your childhood no longer flawed!

"Hey, let's wrap up."

Seeing Chen En's face darken, Inspector Megure realized something was seriously wrong. Feeling he'd gone too far again, he quickly told Takagi Wataru, who had obtained the murder weapon disguised as a tree trunk cake, to run away.

It was a real tree trunk coated with butter.

It's conceivable to use a real tree trunk as a murder weapon, then coat it with cream after the killing and display it in a bakery as a Yule log cake.

This Yasuo Fujino truly deserves to be called a top-notch pastry chef; it's hard to imagine such a brilliant idea.

Chapter 589 Twilight Villa

After Chen En suggested that Noah's Ark might need a cybernetic belt to compensate for his childhood, Noah's Ark, whose mental age is only ten, wisely fell silent.

Although the belt can't pull out artificial intelligence.

However, Chen Enzhen, who possesses electronic technology ahead of his time, can conjure a cyber belt and spin it like a top.

But it's a super artificial intelligence! How can it be whipped into a spinning top by someone else?

Therefore, it was wise to stop navigation.

There's an old saying in this mysterious Eastern country: "Those who understand the times are heroes." I'm undoubtedly one of them, no doubt about it!

"Really."

"Now that the manager has passed away, it seems the dessert shop can't continue operating, right? We finally found a famous brand dessert shop..."

Sonoko Suzuki sighed.

Feeling a little sad about not being able to get half-price cakes anymore, she looked at the shop assistant next to her and asked quietly.

"Excuse me, may I take some more cakes from the counter?"

Counter clerk: ?

You can still eat cake at a time like this? What else is there to say? You can have it all.

A forced smile appeared on her face, and then she spoke.

"Please."

"However, our store is only operating until the end of normal business hours today. We will be closing down starting tomorrow."

"So, if you want to buy and eat cake, please do so now."

Hearing this, Chen En stroked his chin, looked at the teller, and then asked.

"Excuse me for asking."

Who inherited this dessert shop after the owner's death? Did the heir not want to run the dessert shop?

The shop assistant at the counter fell silent for a moment.

Who would understand this?

She's just here to work, how could she possibly know about this? If she wanted to know this, she'd have to ask someone else who's like the manager's apprentice.

Fortunately, the staff didn't have to wait too long.

"That's what Maeda Tsuyoshi said."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the shop will be inherited by the owner's nephew, but the owner's nephew doesn't like running a dessert shop."
