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

Then she tugged at Chen En's sleeve, signaling him to bend down, before standing on tiptoe and whispering in his ear.

"Ms. Kobayashi thought she was Officer Sato's substitute meal."

Chen En: ?

What is that?

Do regular meals think they are meal replacements?

You guys have figured out the truth about meal replacement literature: meal replacements can't be eaten as a meal!

Chen En was truly speechless.

I'm a little bat with not very high emotional intelligence.

How am I supposed to understand what you're saying?

Let's go back three minutes.

Sumiko Kobayashi just came out of the bathroom.

She still felt a bit like she was in a dream about Shiratori Ninzaburo finding a reason to get close to her, because she thought she was just an ordinary elementary school teacher and, under normal circumstances, would not have any connection with Officer Shiratori.

However, since Shiratori Ninzaburo seems to want to date her.

So, she obviously had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

But just as she was starting to have feelings for him...

Footsteps came from the adjacent corridor.

They are two police officers talking.

These two officers were not on duty with Inspector Megure and his team yesterday.

Therefore, we are now discussing a new topic brought up by Inspector Megure.

"Does that elementary school teacher named Kobayashi Sumiko really look a lot like Officer Sato?"

"Inspector Megure said they look exactly alike."

"Damn it, that kid Shiratori is really lucky."

"Officer Sato just started dating Officer Takagi, and he said that Officer Sato wasn't his true love, just a substitute, and then he immediately found a girlfriend, Sumiko Kobayashi, who looks a lot like Officer Sato..."

"Alas, the world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be."

"Next time Shiratori treats us, I'll definitely make him treat me to a proper meal."

"Otherwise, we would suffer a huge loss."

I overheard the conversation between the two police officers.

Sumiko Kobayashi, who was initially excited, gradually turned pale.

She suddenly realized that she might just be a substitute for Sato Miwako.

Shiratori Ninzaburo is in love with Officer Sato Miwako, who looks a lot like him.

This only happened after Officer Miwako Sato started dating another officer, Wataru Takagi.

He was forced to choose her as his girlfriend because she looked exactly like Officer Sato.

And they even made up such a story...

Ayumi and Ai Haibara also came out of the bathroom.

The two were originally talking about school.

Upon seeing Kobayashi Sumiko's expression, which had burned out and left only lifeless ashes, I was struck by her expression.

I was completely stunned for a moment.

What happened?

They were only a dozen seconds late, how did things turn out like this?

Ai Haibara came to Sumiko Kobayashi's side.

He asked in a low voice what had happened.

But Kobayashi Sumiko was so distraught that she didn't want to answer at all.

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but frown.

Just as Ai Haibara was pondering what had happened.

Then footsteps came from the side.

This time it was a familiar voice.

"Please, have mercy on me, please stop chasing me."

"Even though I'm dating Officer Sato, does that mean he has to treat me like this?"

Takagi Wataru ran past, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

A group of criminal investigation officers immediately followed closely behind.

"Damn it, Officer Sato is the only female officer in our Criminal Investigation Department!"

"You've only been in the Criminal Investigation Department for less than a year and you've already tricked Officer Sato away. How could you do this to us?!"

"You better stand still, I'm going to correct you!"

He watched as numerous criminal investigation officers ran past.

Ai Haibara paused for a moment.

Then he turned to look at Kobayashi Sumiko and asked softly.

"Someone said you're Officer Sato's substitute, is that true?"

Kobayashi Sumiko was even more heartbroken.

Ayumi, who was standing next to her, blinked.

Then, with some doubt, he asked.

What is a meal replacement?

"So, Ms. Kobayashi is Officer Sato's meal replacement?"

"Then why is Ms. Kobayashi so sad?"

Is being a meal replacement really such a sad thing?

Ayumi, standing next to him, kept finishing off the attackers without stopping.

For a moment, Kobayashi Sumiko didn't know what to say.

Haibara sighed.

Seeing Genta and Mitsuhiko emerge from the conference room and notice the situation, and then seeing Chen En and Shiratori Renzaburo appear at the end of the corridor, he shook his head.

In this situation, you should ask the invincible Batman.

Chapter 818 Where Did the Kindaichi Detective Come From?

"Why don't you go and read the legal articles you learned when you were a child to him again?"

Chen En asked tentatively.

I am just a little bat who doesn't understand people's hearts.

Asking me a question like that is a bit beyond my scope.

Old Bats all have various family disputes.

You're asking me how to handle this since none of my family members are married?

Ai Haibara, standing next to him, looked somewhat disappointed.

Even if she showed a disappointed expression.

Chen En remained unmoved.

Some things you just can't do.

Just like mathematics.

Even if you put all your effort into it and lose yourself in the process, you still won't be able to solve the problem.

The situation is the same here.

"Legal provisions? Uh, are they really, really effective?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo asked tentatively.

But as soon as he said it, he immediately realized how stupid his question was.

Chen En may know about what happened when he was a child.

However, Chen En obviously couldn't have known which legal provision was being referred to at the time.

After all, there are many legal provisions applicable to theft.

It's impossible for someone who isn't directly involved to know which rule it is.

Shiratori Ninzaburo immediately began to recall his experience at that time.

However, Kobayashi Sumiko returned to the conference room with a look of disappointment on her face.

Upon seeing this, Shiratori Ninzaburo subconsciously entered the conference room with the members of the Junior Detective League.

Ai Haibara tugged at Chen En's sleeve and looked up at him.

"A hero can't desert his post in the face of battle, you know?"

Chen En: ?
