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

When did I get scammed out of so much money?

Chen En paused for a moment before finally speaking.

"This is fake."

"Don't even mention it. I was scammed out of 1.777 trillion yen. Do I look like the kind of person who could come up with 1.777 trillion yen in liquid funds to be scammed?"

Upon hearing this, Kimie Shimabukuro paused for a moment.

Her gaze fell on Chen En's face, she looked him over briefly, and then nodded seriously.

"I think Mr. Chen En should be able to do what he said."

Chen En: ?

It's good that you have faith in me, but don't have faith in me about such strange things.

However, it must be said that...

You have a good eye for people.

As long as he doesn't insist on obtaining money through legal channels, money is really just a number to him; he can have as much as he wants, even 1.77 trillion yen.

However, Chen En will not tell anyone else about this.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Although, as things stand, he is currently one of the most powerful humans on Earth in this worldview.

However, it's best not to reveal these abilities that could destabilize human society unless absolutely necessary, otherwise all sorts of troubles will follow, leaving people overwhelmed.

He came to reform Beika Town, not to be reformed by the whole world.

It was clear that Chen En didn't seem to want to discuss this topic.

Shimabukuro Kimie then asked softly with some doubt.

"Mr. Chen En, why are you and Miss Hongzi collecting my mother's tears?"

"Does this mean that tears have some new function?"

Although in some local legends, the tears of fish-men can turn into pearls, which are priceless.

However, it is clear that the tears shed by Ruri Shimabukuro because of her separation from Kimie Shimabukuro did not turn into pearls, but were just ordinary teardrops, which makes them have little collectible value.

Chen En didn't offer much explanation, only replying as such.

"I will use my tears."

"Instead of that, you should memorize the new identity I've prepared for you. Tomorrow I'll send someone to Izumo Taisha Shrine in Izumo Prefecture to become a shrine maiden. I hope you can collect more legends and anecdotes about Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo."

Upon hearing this, Shimabukuro Kimie nodded as if she understood.

She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the brick-shaped device Chen En had given her, which was called a tablet computer. After pondering for a while, she still couldn't figure out how to view anything on it.

Then he turned to Chen En for help and asked.

How do I use this?

"Furthermore, why is Mr. Chen En collecting information about Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo? Does Mr. Chen En really believe that the Totsuka Blade and Kusanagi Blade, these two legendary divine swords, truly exist and possess incredible divine power?"

Chen En instructed Shimabukuro Kimie on how to adjust the tablet computer.

He said in a somewhat heavy voice.

"It's not just my opinion, but those two divine swords possess incredible divine power."

"I need those two divine swords as an aid."

"Because there are many crises in this world that I cannot deal with. If I cannot deal with any of them, countless people will die as a result."

"I must possess the power to deal with any crisis."

Having a sword but not using it is one thing and not having a sword at all.

Although he couldn't understand what Chen En was talking about, what kind of crisis he couldn't even handle.

But Kimie Shimabukuro nodded nonetheless.

She said it earnestly.

"In that case, I will help Mr. Chen En collect as many relevant anecdotes as possible."

"I hope I can really be of help to Mr. Chen En."

...Actually, I don't expect you to help.

As long as you can stay at Izumo Taisha Shrine and live a normal life, that's fine.

Chen En thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Chapter 858 The Red Horse in the Flames

Has another arson incident occurred?

Inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Hakuba Saguru asked with some surprise.

He was completely unaware of what Conan and his friends were going through in Fukui Prefecture; his mind was solely focused on the horrific arson attack currently taking place in Tokyo.

Just like the content of "The ABC Murders" mentioned in Agatha Christie's works.

The perpetrator's actions gave a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he deliberately set fires in different districts of Tokyo according to numbers.

The first day is Rizen-cho 1-chome, and the second day is Toriya-cho 2-chome.

Today, it is the third-chome of Okuho-cho.

Based on this pattern, the arsonist will likely commit the crime in a certain area, specifically in a 4-chome district.

If surveillance is deployed near the fourth and fifth blocks of each district, the arsonist should be able to be apprehended.

However, this method doesn't seem to work very well.

After Hakuba Saguru noticed the arson incident, he had already sent people to guard the 3-chome areas in various districts, but fires still broke out inside houses in the 3-chome areas, even though no one had been inside them.

Although the fire in the 3-chome area has not yet been extinguished.

It is uncertain whether the same red horse as in the previous two arson incidents was placed inside.

However, according to Hakuba Saguru's theory, this is most likely indeed a series of vicious arson incidents.

However, although these are described as malicious arson incidents, none of the houses targeted in these three arson attacks were still inhabited. It seems that the arsonists intentionally avoided setting the fires when anyone was in the house.

This shows that the arsonist did not actually intend to kill anyone.

Or perhaps, just like in Christine's novel, the arsonist hasn't killed the people he wanted to kill yet, so the victims haven't appeared by now.

Suddenly, Hakuba Saguru discovered a blind spot.

He frowned slightly and asked himself a question.

"Strange, why didn't the police officers at the scene report that Batman was nearby?"

Although Batman is known as the Dark Knight of Beika Town.

However, Batman's territory is clearly not limited to the small town of Beika.

The entire city of Tokyo was within his purview.

However, Batman did not appear tonight.

This clearly indicates that Batman has most likely left Tokyo and hasn't returned yet; otherwise, some unfortunate police officer would already be writing a 500-word self-criticism to submit to the supervising inspector.

"But where will Batman go?"

"Tomorrow is the Ryoma Exhibition. Leaving Tokyo at this time, are you preparing something befitting the Ryoma Exhibition? What do you think? Use your divination magic to find out?"

Hakuba Saguru was asking himself a question when he suddenly turned to look at the North American exorcist next to him and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, the North American exorcist's face darkened.

You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

You even want me to use my divination magic to calculate it? Last time I used divination magic, I found out that thing was a giant humanoid bat, which almost scared me to death. And you want me to use divination magic on that bat?

Aren't you afraid that another giant bat will suddenly appear and gank me?

If Batman kills me, you won't find another sorcerer as powerful and useful as me to help you!

Seeing that the North American exorcist was clearly unwilling, Hakuba Saguru didn't ask any further questions.

He just sighed with a hint of regret.

It would be great if we could get in touch with other magicians in Tokyo.

That way, we wouldn't have to rely on that lousy North American exorcist to help us deal with the members of the mysterious organization.

At this very moment, in Okuho-cho 3-chome.

Inspector Yumina, a fire crime investigator with the First Investigative Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is organizing firefighting efforts.

This Inspector Yukichi is an absolute veteran within the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

Even Kogoro Mouri, who has already left his job, or Inspector Megure.

Even when you see this Inspector Gong Chang, you have to respectfully call him "Fire Godfather".

Just from this title, one can tell whether Inspector Gong Chang is a police officer who truly gets things done.

If we disregard the number of fire crimes, they are far too few compared to the number of heinous murders.

Otherwise, Inspector Yumikaze would definitely have become the officer with more crime scene attendance records than Inspector Megure.

"Put out the fire quickly."

"Is there any water in the fire hydrant? If not, go to the tap next to it and get some water. In short, get the water gun running and don't leave it idle, otherwise the fire will spread to other houses."

Inspector Gong Chang shouted.

He noticed a man in black among the onlookers who seemed rather odd.
