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

"So you're at Poirot's Cafe."

“That would be perfect. My police car is parked nearby on duty. Could you please meet me in the alley next door? You know, it’s official business hours now, and it’s not convenient for me to go inside a private coffee shop.”

To this, Miwako Sato simply replied in a low voice.

"Of course, no problem."

She hung up the phone.

Then his gaze fell on Shiratori Ninzaburo and other regular police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division outside, and he gave them a meaningful look.

Many criminal investigation officers immediately nodded in understanding.

However, Kodama Ryusei merely observed the situation inside the Poirot Cafe from the surrounding area.

They had no idea that Miwako Sato had already sent messages to other people.

He had only ever seen Kobayashi Sumiko in her ID photo.

I have never actually met Sumiko Kobayashi in person.

Therefore, they were completely unaware of anything strange about Miwako Sato, who looked exactly like Sumiko Kobayashi.

Now, he's disguised as a police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and is looking for Sumiko Kobayashi.

That was because a Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officer let slip that Kobayashi Sumiko had listened to all the recordings, which is why he decided to threaten her.

He would not kill unless absolutely necessary.

However, if Kobayashi Sumiko shows a complete refusal to cooperate, then he will have no choice but to commit the crime again.

Kodama Ryusei hid the knife inside his clothes.

They then went ahead and entered the alley near the Poirot Cafe.

He was ready.

In contrast.

Many officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department are also ready.

However, just as Shiratori Ninzaburo was preparing to follow,

He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the entrance of Chen En's apartment.

It's Chen En.

This detective, who always calls himself Batman, suddenly appeared for some reason.

A hint of doubt appeared in Shiratori Ninzaburo's eyes.

But when he saw Chen En nod slightly to him, signaling him to continue, he realized that...

He abandoned his guessing and decided to take direct action.

However, what Shiratori Ninzaburo didn't notice was...

Just as he turned to look at the entrance to the alley that Kodama Yanagi had entered.

Chen En's figure had quietly disappeared.

Mary Akai and Masumi Sera, who were walking towards the Poirot Cafe, frowned slightly.

Sera Masumi is a member of the high school detectives.

Needless to say, their observational skills are exceptional.

Mary Akai is even more observant than Masumi Sera.

They immediately noticed something was off about the plainclothes officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division.

A sense of hesitation immediately arose in their hearts.

Could it be that Kuvatro's identity is not actually Shuichi Akai?

That guy is actually a member of the Black Organization, or even a member of MI6's hostile intelligence organization?

Was the purpose of meeting them simply to bring them together and capture them all at once?

Mary Akai, who was already suspicious, became even more hesitant.

Suddenly, she felt as if someone was watching them from behind.

So she turned around without hesitation to look in the direction from which the gaze was coming from.

But she saw nothing.

A hint of doubt appeared in Mary Akai's eyes.

Could it be that her senses are malfunctioning?

But how is that possible?

Although her body has degenerated to the level of an elementary school student, her senses have not declined in the slightest; in fact, they have become even more acute. Such senses should not be wrong...

Has that person gone into hiding?

As it turns out, Mary Akai did not have a perceptual error.

Hondo Eisuke was following behind Akai Mary at that moment.

However, the moment Akai Mary turned around, he had already been led into the corner.

A familiar voice rang out behind Hondo Eisuke.

Why are you here?

Chen En's voice was calm.

"If you're here to see Ran Mouri, you should know that Ran Mouri has already left Tokyo, right?"

"If you're still here for Sera Masumi..."

"I suggest you don't go with her today."

Hondo Eisuke had originally wanted to put up a fight.

Upon hearing Chen En's voice, she immediately gave up struggling.

He turned to look at Chen En with some confusion.

His eyes were full of doubt.

Why did Chen En stop him from stalking Sera Masumi?

Could Chen En possibly gain any benefit from this?

Is this person also an FBI agent?

It doesn't look like it...

"Mr. Chen En, why do you say that?"

"Because I'm curious about Sera-san, I want to investigate her background. Isn't that a common thing for a famous detective?"

"Although I am not a famous detective, I am still a disciple of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

"Rounded down, he could be considered a half-baked detective, right?"

Hondo Eisuke spoke in a series of sentences.

I feel I have found a very suitable reason.

Then Chen En's words left him speechless.

"Because the police are carrying out an arrest operation."

“You look a lot like the bait the police have chosen. Sera Masumi has already moved towards the arrest area. If you go there, the killer might use you as bait to kill you. Is that okay?”

Hondo Eisuke: ?

What? Such a thing exists?

Sometimes what stops you isn't your competitors, but rather those from other fields.

Chapter 824 It's not me who ruined you, it's this world that ruined you!

Shiratori Ninzaburo was unaware of Hondo Eisuke's arrival.

He had never even met Hondo Eisuke.

Naturally, there was no way he would react to Hondo Eisuke, a high school student who looked a lot like Kobayashi Sumiko.

At this moment, they are focused solely on carrying out the arrest operation.

Meanwhile, the members of the Junior Detective Club, who were observing the arrest operation from the window of Chen En's apartment, cheered for the capture of Shiratori Ninzaburo and the others.

Sumiko Kobayashi's attention was also completely drawn to Shiratori Ninzaburo.

Although Shiratori Ninzaburo's previous behavior made him seem like a frivolous man.

However, it must be said that Shiratori Ninzaburo, when he takes real action, is a completely different person from her original impression.

It seems to have a strange attraction.

However, she was only attractive to Sumiko Kobayashi.

The other detectives in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division looked at Shiratori Ninzaburo with eyes that seemed to wish they could kill him.

If it weren't for the priority of carrying out the mission.

All I know is Shiratori Ninzaburo's bait plan.

They swarmed forward and chopped Shiratori Ninzaburo into mincemeat.

This guy is simply a genius.

First, they used Sato Miwako, a policewoman from the Criminal Investigation Department, as a substitute meal.

Then they found Kobayashi Sumiko, who is very similar to Sato Miwako and is also very gentle, to be their main course.

Now, in order to protect Kobayashi Sumiko's safety, they've even brought in Sato Miwako, who was originally a meal replacement, to be Kobayashi Sumiko's stand-in.
