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

That voice belongs to Jirokichi Suzuki.

Chen En couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He thought it was Conan calling.

If the Grim Reaper elementary school student were to come and interrogate him, he would have to spend some time making up a reason to fool Conan, otherwise it would turn into a classic Robin-son tale of filial piety.

He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Uncle Suzuki, what brings you calling me so early?"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi said somewhat seriously.

"Brother Chen En, there is something I have to tell you."

Is there something you absolutely have to tell me now?

A look of caution appeared in Chen En's eyes.

Was the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall bombed by someone? Or was Sonoko Suzuki kidnapped again? Or is the Suzuki Foundation facing another major crisis? Or has your airship been hijacked yet again?

He said in a low voice.

"Uncle Suzuki, please speak."

"I am a professionally trained person, I am not afraid."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi finally spoke.

"Although I know you may not want me to talk about this."

"But I still have to say..."

Jirokichi Suzuki's voice became even more serious and earnest.

This made Chen En's expression turn serious.

Then Chen En heard Suzuki Jirokichi speak like this.

"I heard you owe a trillion yen."

“This number is a bit too big, I don’t think you can handle it. Although I know your pride may not allow me to help, I still have to say, Brother Chen En, I will always be your strong support.”

"Tell me, whose yen do you owe? I'll pay it off for you first."

Another trillion yen? Where did you hear that from?

Chen En's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He felt that this label might not be able to be removed anytime soon.

Why does everyone seem to think he's the kind of person who would owe a trillion yen? Isn't that a bit too outrageous? Is my image in other people's eyes really that unreliable?

He sighed and then said irritably.

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Suzuki."

“I remember I mentioned to the pilot on the plane that I don’t owe any money. It’s all just rumors. Uncle, rumors stop with the wise. Don’t believe these nonsense.”

"Let alone me owing one trillion yen, even if I wanted to owe someone one trillion yen, would they be willing to lend it to me?"

Jirokichi Suzuki: It's hard to say.

After all, you are the famous Night Knight of Beika Town, the only superhero in the real world, Batman.

If you really dare to borrow money, let alone one trillion yen, there are people willing to lend you five trillion or ten trillion.

Although Suzuki Jirokichi was skeptical of Chen En's words.

But after Chen En explained repeatedly, she still chose to believe him, only giving him a final word of advice.

"If you really owe money, remember to tell your uncle, and he will help you pay it off."

"Don't shoulder this kind of burden yourself, or you might turn into a drunkard who drinks every day and likes to throw beer cans at the little girl next to you..."

Although Suzuki Jirokichi was talking to Chen En.

However, his habitually loud voice was heard by Ai Haibara, who was sitting next to him.

Ai Haibara immediately looked up, several question marks appearing above her head.

Ai Haibara: ?

When I type a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem.

What do you mean by "a drunkard who hit me with a beer can"?

If Chen En really dares to treat me like this, then I will have to put the greater good before family.

Ai Haibara thought to herself.

The landline phone receiver was finally placed on the shelf, and the call ended.

Chen En touched his chin.

I have a feeling that Suzuki Jirokichi's words were implied, and I don't know who he was referring to.

However, I still don't plan to dwell on it too much.

There's no point in thinking about this so much; let's just focus on solving the immediate problem first.

He looked up at his watch.

The time of discovery was not much different from his original estimate; it was time to set off.

He then put on his coat and prepared to leave.

However, before Chen En left, Ai Haibara asked with some doubt.

"Why is it that in Suzuki Jirokichi's words, you suddenly become a big shot who owes a trillion yen?"

"There's no smoke without fire; there's always a reason behind things."

"You must have done something to cause such rumors to spread, right?"

Hearing this, Chen En glanced back at Ai Haibara before speaking slowly.

"Don't you know what happened?"

Ai Haibara: ?

Does this have anything to do with me?

A look of confusion appeared in her eyes; she couldn't understand what Chen En meant.

Then the sound of Noah's Ark came from the speakers placed nearby.

This super AI, whose mental age is only a little over 10, said with a slight smile.

"Ai, these rumors started because you told Miss Akako that Chen En was cheated at the market."

"Then it spread further and further, and the number got bigger and bigger, eventually becoming an exaggerated figure of more than one trillion yen. There were even claims that it was 277 trillion yen in debt."

No way, even with interest compounding, you can't just let it snowball like that!

Is it possible that spreading a rumor can cause a 277-fold increase in price?

Ai Haibara was momentarily speechless, a look of surprise on her face.

Then he muttered to himself.

"Rumors stop with the wise."

"This shows that those who spread rumors and make the numbers bigger and bigger are mostly wise."

Chen En: ?

He turned to the speakers on Noah's Ark and spoke.

"Delete this part of the recording."

Otherwise, once Conan returns to Chen En Manor, he'll have to take down Ai Haibara one-on-one.

Although infighting within the Bat-family is common, he still didn't want it to happen in his own unique Bat-family.

Ai Haibara: ?

Why did you install a recording device in the manor?

That's enough. Why are you being so cautious even with your own people?

Just as Ai Haibara revealed a hint of disapproval in her eyes...

Ye Caisan said this after he had finished cleaning up the kitchen utensils.

"I just remembered, if it was the red horse in the flames..."

"I actually have some related guesses in my mind, because the red horse in the flames actually refers to the red horse doll left at the scene after it was burned, and that red horse was a keychain given out by a person named Genda Takatoku."

"If you want to investigate this matter, then starting with Genda Takatoku is definitely the right thing to do."

Takatoku Genda?

Chen En nodded slightly, memorizing the name, and then spoke directly.

"Okay, I need to go pick someone up."

"I probably won't be back by noon, so you don't need to prepare lunch for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked directly out of Chen En Manor, got into his sports car, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye, turning into a black dot on the horizon.

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara slowly turned her head to look at Ye Cai San.

There was still a hint of distrust in her eyes before she spoke.

What cuisine is served for lunch today?

Upon hearing this, Ye Caisan spoke calmly.

"Whatever dishes you want to eat, it's fine."

“During these 20 years of disappearance, I didn’t just sit around doing nothing.”
