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

Chapter 848 You are the sucker who was swindled out of 1.777 trillion yen!

Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama will face mortal danger in front of the Mermaid Grave.

Chen En remembered this very clearly.

However, the original story did not explain how Heiji Hattori managed to pull Kazuha Toyama up the cliff edge when the tree branch was about to break. Perhaps Gosho Aoyama himself couldn't figure out how to get Heiji Hattori out of danger, so he left it unresolved.

But now, the unresolved plot point has clearly been answered.

Chen En pulled Hattori Heiji, along with Toyama Kazuha, up from below.

This overwhelming power made Hattori Heiji feel a chill run down his spine.

The last time he saw Chen En was the last time.

To be precise, it was at the Nagato family villa.

At that time, Chen En displayed astonishing physical abilities and combat skills.

However, Chen En's physical condition at that time did not seem to be as strong as it is now. What did this guy eat to grow muscles? How did his strength increase so much in such a short period of time?

"Wait a minute, you just told me that the Mermaid Arrow actually has a curse effect now, what's that all about?"

They didn't ask Chen En why he was there, nor did they ask him how he got there.

Hattori Heiji's first question was why Koizumi Akako, who was behind Chen En, said that the Mermaid Arrow did indeed have a curse effect.

Mermaids do not exist, and the mermaid arrow has no real effect.

Not only did he think so, but even the shrine maiden Shimabukuro Kimie of the Mermaid Shrine said so.

But the guy dressed like a magical girl in front of me said that the mermaid's arrow does indeed have a curse effect.

This is just too absurd.

"It means exactly what it says."

"The reason it didn't have a curse effect before was because the mermaids at the Mermaid Shrine didn't exist. But now that the mermaids at the Mermaid Shrine exist, the Mermaid Arrow naturally has a curse effect, right?"

Koizumi Akako looked at Hattori Heiji with some strangeness.

Then he casually made a comment.

"Forget it, you're a foreigner, I won't argue with you."

As the saying goes, you can't understand the language of black people.

This is understandable.

Hattori Heiji:?

Are you saying something that's a bit too hurtful to me?

Do I really look that dark?

Hattori Heiji's face darkened.

This made his skin look even darker.

Kazuha Toyama thanked him quietly.

"Thank you so much just now."

"If you hadn't helped us just now, I and Heiji really wouldn't know what to do..."

"May I ask your name?"

Oh, why are you being so polite?

Chen En raised an eyebrow.

He looked at Hattori Heiji with some oddness, somewhat surprised that Hattori Heiji hadn't mentioned his name to Toyama Kazuha, before realizing that even if he had, it wouldn't have made any difference.

Because he and Toyama Kazuha had never met before.

To be precise, he had only met Hattori Heiji twice.

One time was at the Nagato family's villa, and the other time was in front of Goryokaku.

Moreover, when he met Hattori Heiji for the second time, he was still wearing a Batman suit.

If Heiji Hattori's memory isn't very good, he probably would have already forgotten what he looks like.

It's a bit too much to expect Toyama Kazuha, who has never met him before, to recognize him at a glance.

So Chen En clapped his hands, returned the Mermaid Arrow to Toyama Kazuha, and then spoke directly.

"Hattori should have mentioned me to you. I am Chen En."

The instant I heard Chen En say those words.

Heiji Hattori suffered cardiac and pulmonary arrest.

He knows his childhood sweetheart very well.

It's almost predictable what Kazuha Toyama's next sentence will be.

However, just as he was about to stop Toyama Kazuha.

Kazuha Toyama had already blurted it out.

"Huh? You're the sucker who got swindled out of 1.777 trillion yen!"

"Could it be that he owed too much money, so he had no choice but to flee to the deep mountains and forests?"

Hattori Heiji instinctively covered his face.

This is terrible.

Batman should chop him into mincemeat, right?

Chen En: ?

How much were you scammed out of?

One trillion seven hundred and seventy billion yen?!

Did I buy Times Square?

So surprised that even the two little horns on either side of Chen En's head stood up.

Koizumi Akako, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but marvel.

However, she was also somewhat surprised that Toyama Kazuha had mentioned such an astronomical figure.

Why would Kazuha Toyama state such a large number?

Could it be that the message originated from her?

That doesn't make sense either. She said Chen En was only scammed out of 500 million yen.

How could it possibly be rumored to be 1.777 trillion yen?

Just thinking about it makes it obvious that it's impossible to be fooled for that much, right?

"Who told you I was scammed out of 1.777 trillion yen?"

Chen En narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a look of disapproval.

That look inexplicably puts you on edge.

It was only their first meeting.

However, this left an impression on Kazuha Toyama that this person was not easy to get along with.

I always felt that Chen En was inexplicably oppressive.

Kazuha Toyama swallowed nervously before speaking in a low voice.

"Yes, Heiji told me."

Even if her reaction is slow.

After seeing Chen En's behavior, she realized that what Hattori Heiji had told her was not true.

So he immediately sold his childhood sweetheart.

Heiji Hattori stood in front of Kazuha Toyama, waving his hand with a smirk.

"It's all a misunderstanding."

"This is what Mrs. Kudo told Kudo. I heard it from him too. If you want to hit someone, you should go to Kudo. He's tough and can take a beating. I can't take a beating. I'll be down in no time."

"You'll have to pay me for medical expenses then, which will only make matters worse for your already meager assets."

Chen En: ?

What? Mrs. Kudo told Kudo?

Does that mean Yukiko Kudo is spreading rumors about me?

Why would someone spread rumors about me if it wasn't Yukiko Kudo?

The more I listen, the more something seems off.

Chen En was speechless.

Meanwhile, Kazuha Toyama, who was behind Heiji Hattori, finally realized what was happening and asked in a low voice.

"Heiji, you seem to have mentioned Kudo quite a lot just now."

"Could it be that the famous detective Shinichi Kudo has also come to American Island?"

"But I don't remember you ever talking to Shinichi Kudo? I've never seen Shinichi Kudo before. I heard he looks a lot like you, just a little fairer-skinned. Is that true?"

Hattori Heiji turned his head somewhat stiffly to look at Toyama Kazuha.

His mind raced, and he finally smiled and said...

"Contact us by phone, contact us by phone."

Yuanshan and Ye nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

However, after saying this, she raised the mermaid arrow in her hand, looked at it, and then asked with some doubt.
