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

"However, it's definitely too late to go there tonight. I need to go back and prepare. We'll go there tomorrow night and see if we can find an opportunity to help her return. After all, it's a very complicated magic."

"Of course, if we find out tomorrow that no one died tonight, then forget it and we'll find another opportunity."

Although with her magic, plus Chen En's speed and wealth.

She could achieve a similar effect by flying overnight to the airspace above the American island and then using magic to remotely kill a tourist. However, she couldn't be sure whether Chen En would kill her first or the tourist first.

The reason Batman is trustworthy is because Batman really doesn't kill people.

Whether Chen En turns against her or kills someone for her sake, it would be a devastating blow to their relationship. It's better not to suggest such a solution.

This will save everyone from hesitating here.

"You just said that unless someone dies at the Mermaid Festival in three years, right?"

Chen En's expression was somewhat strange.

He truly hadn't expected that Koizumi Akako, a top-tier magician in the Detective Conan universe, would offer such a solution.

The strange thing is that the solution proposed by Koizumi Akako might actually be feasible.

Because someone will actually die during the mermaid festival three years later.

Earlier, when he heard Hattori Heiji call Conan away, he didn't realize what was going on and thought it was about Naniwa's serial murders. But when he heard that tonight was the Mermaid Festival, he immediately realized what was going on.

This isn't some serial murder case involving waves; it's clearly the plot of a mermaid disappearance story!

Kimie Shimabukuro will take revenge tonight by killing the person who burned her mother to death.

And it just so happens to be under the guise of the mermaid's curse.

...So you're saying it's really possible to turn the tide?

Chapter 771 On the Possibility of Batman Killing Two Sacrifices

"Yes, I did just say that."

"But what kind of look is that? Are you planning to fly over tonight and kill a couple of people to liven things up?"

Koizumi Akako's eyes narrowed slightly.

She began to wonder if Chen En had some kind of mental problem.

Otherwise, why would they show that kind of look in their eyes?

How could Batman be so eager to commit murder?

I think it's unnecessary.

Chen En replied casually.

Koizumi Akako, Haibara Ai: ?

What does it mean that it shouldn't be necessary?

Does that mean if necessary, you really intend to fly over and kill two sacrificial lambs?

Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Chen En quickly explained.

I mean, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

"It's already this late, where am I supposed to arrange a plane to fly over there?"

"Besides, you know my character. I have never killed anyone, not even the most heinous criminals. At worst, I would just break all my bones and send them to a mental hospital."

"However, Miss Akako."

"I think you can go back and prepare the materials and spellbooks for that kind of complicated magic."

"I think we should be able to use it tomorrow night."

Koizumi Akako: ?

What do you mean by "you think it will be useful tomorrow night"?

Are you really planning to fly to the American island and kill two people before tonight is over?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Koizumi Akako stared at Chen En for a while.

Only then, looking back every few steps, did he fly back on his broom, still somewhat doubtful.

After Koizumi Akako left.

Ai Haibara immediately frowned and said.

Are you really going to kill someone?

"I don't agree with what you're doing."

“Even if crafting a magical amulet that can connect with demons is necessary, I don’t recommend that you do it this way right now, because it’s not a necessity right now, and there’s no need to go against your principles for it.”

"Murder is something that, once done, cannot be reversed."

Hearing Ai Haibara's words, Noah's Ark, who was standing next to her, also offered some advice.

"Just as Ai said."

"If you take a life, there is no going back."

"This isn't some death game where you can't survive without fighting."

“You can protect the other people in danger before you go to the scene. You said you won’t take them with you, so there’s no need to rush.”

After Ai Haibara and Noah's Ark spoke one after the other.

Dr. Agasa paused for a moment, then looked around.

Oh, so, according to this order, is it my turn to offer advice?

So he coughed twice and was about to speak.

However, before Professor Agasa could speak, Chen En started speaking with zero frames.

"You should know that I'm someone who has read comics."

Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara exchanged a glance and then nodded.

Just as Chen En said.

If this world truly is a world of comics, then as someone who has read comics, Chen En would naturally possess an intelligence advantage that would be absolutely superior to the vast majority of people.

But what does this have to do with what Chen En said?

Seeing that the two of them hadn't reacted yet, Chen En continued.

"Because this comic is quite long, I only remember some of the famous pieces."

"For example, The Mermaid's Disappearance is one of the early masterpieces."

The Mermaid's Disappearance? One of her early masterpieces?

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

Although she had never read the comic, she didn't know what the so-called "Mermaid Disappearance Chronicle" referred to.

However, considering Chen En's previous conversation with Koizumi Akako...

She roughly understood who the mermaid in the story of the missing mermaid was referring to...

This mermaid probably refers to the second-generation longevity woman or Shimabukuro Kimie.

This is known to be a detective comic.

Detective comics that depict a constant stream of low-probability heinous murders.

So the story of the missing mermaid is probably one of the heinous murder cases.

In addition, Chen En told Koizumi Akako to rest assured and prepare the materials for the complex magic.

Could it be...?!

Will anyone die at today's mermaid festival?

Ai Haibara said with some surprise.

"And it perfectly fulfills the necessary conditions for the ritual mentioned by Akako Koizumi?"

Hearing Ai Haibara's words.

Professor Agasa and Noah's Ark also exclaimed in unison.

Although emotions do not exist for typical super artificial intelligence.

But Noah's Ark was clearly an accident.

Chen En nodded in agreement.

Just as you guessed.

"That's right, someone will indeed die at this mermaid festival."

"And it was because of the incident three years ago when the second-generation longevity woman was burned to death."

"The dead are the three people who set the fire three years ago."

"The person who committed the crime was the third-generation long-lived matriarch, Shimabukuro Kimie."

"All of these conditions are perfectly met."

"So you don't need to guess anymore that I would deliberately go to the American island to kill someone in order to meet the conditions for obtaining the mermaid's tears. Firstly, my bottom line isn't that flexible, and secondly, there really isn't a plane that can be found at this time."

Excuses, utterly excuses!

Ai Haibara thought to herself.

You're such a genius. Last time you managed to bring a private plane that could catch up with a passenger plane to play aerial hopping wars. Now you're saying there's no plane that can fly to the American islands. Who would believe that?

However, she nodded against her will.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
