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

Chen En took a sip of coffee and said.

"Yes, I am Batman."

James Black: ?

I'm testing this young man.

Ignoring the advice of elders will only lead to trouble; just wait to be kicked out of the super-criminal circle.

James thought to himself.

As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade someone with kind words; if they're a stubborn devil and won't listen, then there's nothing you can do.

Hopefully, the police or FBI will discover his situation in advance and prevent him from being killed by other criminals.

He didn't believe Chen En's words at all.

As is widely known.

Batman would not admit that he is Batman, just as Kira would not admit that he is Kira, and L would not admit that he is L.

If someone admits they are Batman.

That means that person couldn't possibly be the real Batman, and the disguise was a complete failure.

Batman could be anyone in this city, but he could never be someone who admits to being Batman.

Wait, so... I could also be Batman?

James prefers to believe that he is Batman, but because it is his second personality, it doesn't manifest itself, and he doesn't believe that Chen En is Batman.

He'd be willing to become Batman, even a billionaire!

"Uncle, but Brother Chen En really is Batman! Look, he has a coffee cup!"

Ayumi pointed to Chen En's coffee cup.

James Black: ?

He has a coffee cup, and I have a mustache.

Besides, where do you find a Batman who likes to carry a coffee cup? Can that Batman ever be serious?

James Black was speechless.

However, after Bu Mei mentioned Chen En's name, he suddenly realized what she meant and looked at the person in front of him with some surprise.

He had heard of the name Chen En.

He is said to be a very skilled detective in Tokyo, but due to his unique quirks, he has not been reported by the media.

In the end, he became a famous detective who wasn't actually a famous detective, a figure akin to an urban legend.

Unexpectedly, his peculiar habit refers to his liking to call himself Batman...

From a copyright perspective, this is indeed news content that cannot be broadcast.

However, James was quite interested in Chen En's abilities.

Previously, when Sera Masumi was kidnapped at the Mouri Detective Agency, it was Chen En who suddenly appeared to save the day.

This notorious detective from Tokyo threw someone from the second floor to the first floor with lightning speed and ruthlessness.

He is definitely not someone who is all talk and no action.

He had wanted to find Chen En to gather information about him, but he had not had the opportunity to contact him.

Although he knew that Chen En had a close relationship with Suzuki Sonoko, theoretically he could ask Judy, who was an English teacher at Teitan High School, to help make contact.

But I don't know why...

Since the start of the animal show, Judy hasn't sent any messages back, and no one knows what happened to her.

He felt he could barely manage it.

"So James said."

"My name is James Black."

"Born in London, raised in Chicago, United States, to thank you for getting me out of trouble."

"How about I treat everyone to a meal?"

James's words made the members of the Junior Detective League cheer with joy. Although Chen En also said he would treat them to a meal, however...

It seems more interesting to have a foreign friend treat you to a meal?

"That's certainly possible..."

"However, we didn't drive here. We plan to find a restaurant nearby. Would Mr. James like to walk with us?"

Dr. Agasa asked somewhat hesitantly.

That is indeed a problem.

But this was no problem for James; after all, he was a senior FBI investigator, and this was just a small matter...

He definitely can't walk.

I'm already this old, can't I even enjoy myself and find a car to get around in?

James immediately said.

"I drove here."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go to the parking lot over there to get my car, I'll be right back."

"Please feel free to take my car to a nearby restaurant for dinner. This is my way of showing my appreciation!"

James left to get his car.

He left decisively, as if he had made up his mind, leaving everyone with only his back view.

at the same time.

Within Chen En's line of sight, the system screen once again displayed a security mission notification.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

Chen En's gaze swept across the system screen, knowing that James was probably going to have trouble moving his car this time.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

It's 1:11 PM now, a little late for lunch. If we wait for James to finish his work, it will be even later.

In that case...

I'll just go over there and take care of things quickly; it won't take too much time anyway.

Although James Black's fighting abilities meant he was unlikely to encounter any danger, it was better to avoid trouble...

Chen En made up his mind.

Chapter 723 What do you two want to do to the child?

In the parking lot near the circus venue.

James Black slowly appeared, greeted the children playing football nearby, and then suddenly remembered something.

...He came here today to meet with Shuichi Akai, who is suspected of faking his death.

However, he hadn't seen Shuichi Akai yet, so he was planning to ask others if they had seen him.

But I forgot about it when I was chatting with the Junior Detective League.

But then again, it's really strange.

It's one thing that Jodie, Shuichi Akai's ex-girlfriend, didn't reply, but why is even the usually reliable Shuichi Akai late?

James touched his chin, somewhat puzzled.

His gaze then fell on the children playing football nearby, and he asked them a question.

"Children, have you seen a dark-haired man wearing a knitted hat around here?"

The children who were playing football immediately stopped what they were doing when they heard James's question.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then the slightly older child answered James' question.

"No, sir."

“We did not see any dark-haired men wearing knitted hats in the vicinity.”

However, I did see a blond man wearing sunglasses; he had just gone to the restaurant next door for a meal…

But since the foreigner didn't ask, there's no need for them to mention those irrelevant people.

"Oh, no?"

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help. I still have some pendants here, can I share them with you?"

James took out the white lion pendant he had bought at the entrance of the animal show from his pocket.

He bought quite a few of these pendants.

He kept some to take back to the other FBI agents, and then distributed the remaining white lion pendants to the children here.

The children cheered and received the pendants.

My impression of James changed a lot immediately, and I realized that there are good people among foreigners too.

Not all foreigners look like they're vicious enough to eat children.

James reached out and ruffled the hair of the boy who was leading the group, then turned and walked to his car, fumbling for his keys in his pocket.

As it turned out, he had just arrived in front of the car.
