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

"Of course, as everyone knows, I, Batman, am a great guy who absolutely trusts my friends and would never harm the innocent!"

"I have two hours before I leave, so teach me some basics first."

Kaito Kuroba: ?

After a moment's hesitation, Kaito Kuroba still asked,

"Where are you going?"

Chen En answered seriously and earnestly.

"I'm going to confront Death head-on!"

Kaito Kuroba: !

Is it that heavy?

Kaito Kuroba couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

As expected of Batman, although I don't know who the Grim Reaper he's talking about is, he must be a very dangerous opponent, right?

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Honghua Seaside Hotel.

"What are you doing! Why are you touching my hair!"

"You're just like Heiji Hattori!"

Death Elementary School was furious.

However, Chen En simply withdrew his hand nonchalantly and asked,

"Why are you here? I remember you said the conference wouldn't start until 7 p.m., right?"

"Then you should come with Kogoro Mouri and the others at 6:30."

"Why are you here so early?"

Conan briefly lost his train of thought upon hearing this.

Then, he adjusted his non-prescription glasses and answered seriously.

"Of course, it's because I also feel that there are usually bad things happening at the gatherings that Uncle Mori attends."

"To avoid this situation, you should come early, right?"

What do you mean, "You also think so"?

When did I ever tell you that I felt something bad happened wherever Uncle Mori went?

Chen En's lips twitched slightly.

Well, to be honest, Conan really lacks self-awareness.

Doesn't Conan himself realize that wherever he goes, trouble follows?

Without saying a word, Chen En immediately walked into the restaurant.

The place had already been set up, and there were restaurant staff everywhere.

Chen En could see the banner hanging there, which read "World Art Award Ceremony," simply by looking up.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the people who had attended the celebration.

The art form that won this world art award is flower arrangement.

Although Chen En felt this was a bit too outrageous.

However, in Beika Town, anything is possible. Therefore, Chen En did not focus on why the art that won the world award was flower arrangement, but rather on the person who won the award with flower arrangement.

Rika Okano.

Known as the founder of "avant-garde flower arranging," her outstanding work involves making closed flowers bloom immediately after the arrangement is completed.

In Chen En's view, this cannot be considered art.

It's more like magic than art.

"strangeness……"

Chen En said in a low voice.

Hearing Chen En's voice, Conan turned to look at Chen En and asked in confusion,

"Strange? What's strange about it?"

Chen En did not answer.

This is very strange.

The strange thing is that Chen En hasn't triggered any security missions yet.

In other words, if a heinous murder is indeed occurring here, then the murder has not even reached the point where it can be prevented.

This is strange.

Chen En could have identified the murderer beforehand, regardless of the weapon used, but the system determined that he couldn't.

Either the murderer hadn't brought the weapon into the restaurant, or they hadn't yet decided to kill, or the murderer was carrying a weapon that Chen En couldn't identify.

"So it seems we can only wait until the celebration begins?"

Chen En muttered to himself.

His gaze swept across every corner of the restaurant, his eyes narrowing slightly.

There is no such thing as a Batman who would back down when faced with a challenge.

Since there was still some time before the celebration started, he decided to look around the hotel first, at least by all means, before waiting for things to happen.

The pairing of Chen En and Conan seems rather odd here.

Soon, the hotel staff noticed Chen En and his companion's presence. They pointed and whispered among themselves, and immediately security personnel approached, seemingly intending to ask Chen En and his companion to leave.

Conan's heart tightened upon seeing this.

Uncle Mori had an invitation, but they didn't.

If they were found by security personnel, he and Chen En would definitely be asked to leave. But if they were asked to leave now, wouldn't that mean they had returned empty-handed?

Just as Conan was pondering how to handle the situation...

Chen En acted as if she didn't see the staff coming over, and simply walked towards another room.

I only hesitated for a moment.

Conan missed his chance to catch up and was dragged away by security personnel.

Another security guard walked toward the room where Chen En was.

However, just as he turned the corner, as if timed perfectly, another person in a security uniform pulled down his baseball cap and walked out from the other side, just out of his line of sight.

Chen En turned his baseball cap around and glanced at the hotel's decor.

Let's start the investigation now.

Chapter Seventy-Four Threatening Letters

Although Honghua Seaside Hotel is described online as a high-end hotel and a place for the elite.

In reality, only the interior decoration barely lives up to the name; the hotel is actually quite small. Therefore, even though Chen En intentionally slowed down and investigated slowly, he still quickly finished exploring the entire Red Flower Seaside Hotel.

The security mission has still not been triggered at this point.

Chen En couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing this, he knew that this was probably another case of the citizens of Beika Town committing murder in a physically unacceptable manner.

Let alone Batman from Beika Town, even if Batman from Gotham City came over, he still wouldn't be able to find any clues without accurate information, unless Batman from Gotham City brought Superman over to help.

Even if someone commits a crime at the scene, Superman can save people and stop the crime immediately.

"Huh, you look a bit unfamiliar. Did you just arrive recently?"

The security personnel who had just passed by Chen En turned back.

He asked curiously,

"You seem to have nothing to do right now."

"Ms. Ozaki is having someone move the flowers that represent the guests' status. Would you like to come and help move them? I remember you'll get extra pay for that."

Flowers that represent the guests' status?

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

The moment the security personnel mentioned those words, a screen displaying the security mission appeared in front of Chen En.

[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: Medium. Completing this task will reward you with 50 points!]

Medium difficulty means that multiple people may die because of the killer's methods.

However, no one at the scene was carrying firearms.

It's unlikely that a knife could cause multiple deaths in such a small restaurant. So, the murderer must have used poison?

As deadly weapons, toxins often require only a small amount to claim many lives.

Chen En greeted the staff member next to him.

He immediately moved toward the flower that the staff had mentioned.

The citizens of Beika Town are still very enthusiastic about their work.

In the short time Chen En was looking at the screen, staff members had already moved the two boxes of flowers backstage.

The area that used to be the hotel lobby has now been turned into a stage.
