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

However, this question has just been asked.

Chen En answered without hesitation.

"To be precise, it was the first time we dined together at a hotel."

"That was when Uncle Suzuki had just returned to Tokyo."

"It was noon the day before the protective mechanism for the world's largest pink sapphire was set up. After meeting with Uncle Suzuki, we went to a nearby hotel for lunch."

"You also mentioned Pu Siqinglan at the time..."

Sonoko Suzuki had no recollection of what Chen En had said.

Upon hearing the name Pu Siqinglan, she immediately realized what it meant.

So that's what they were talking about that time.

She was puzzled at the time.

Why is it that the moment she mentioned to Chen En that a Pu Siqinglan had come to the manor, this Pu Siqinglan was beaten into a folding screen in the Suzuki manor, and it was done by that person codenamed Bat?

Looking back now, the bat from that time was Chen En, who is standing before me now.

So Chen En probably heard her mention Pu Siqinglan.

They quickly identified Pu Siqinglan's true identity as Skobing, one of the world's most wanted criminals, and eliminated this potentially threatening fugitive.

"I really didn't expect that Pu Siqinglan's true identity was actually Shi Kaobing."

"She looks so kind, beautiful and gentle."

"And when I asked her for advice, she even showed me how to say my name in Chinese. But I didn't quite remember it at the time, so I was planning to use it to give you a little surprise..."

At this point, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly became interested.

She rested her chin on her hands and spoke earnestly.

"I remember Pu Siqinglan teaching me to pronounce my name like this..."

"She said my name sounds like 'Suzuki Tangyuanzi' in Chinese, is that true or not?"

...Actually, you can just ask your housekeeper.

Generally speaking, the butlers in a manor should at least be fluent in two languages, Chinese and Japanese. For a name to be this obscure is a bit too far-fetched, isn't it? So, if you're not from a mysterious Eastern country, don't try to act tough!

I can't help but laugh whenever you and that guy speak my hometown dialect.

Chen En paused for a moment before finally speaking.

"That person is not from the mysterious Eastern superpower at all."

"She's a purebred Russian, so she doesn't speak Chinese at all. She just put your surname and the word 'tangyuan' together and added a 'zi' at the end."

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

What?! The inherently evil Pu Siqinglan dares to deceive my feelings?!

Upon hearing this, even the naturally optimistic Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but turn pale.

Fortunately, I didn't tell Chen En about this as a surprise.

Otherwise, she would probably be laughed at by Chen En for half a year.

After all, Chen En is a purebred citizen of the mysterious Eastern Great Country, completely different from Pu Siqinglan, who is a half-baked person pretending to be a citizen of the mysterious Eastern Great Country. Pu Siqinglan doesn't understand Chinese, but Chen En does, right?

She didn't dwell on the topic any further, but spoke earnestly.

"That dinner party couldn't really be considered our dinner party at all."

"Didn't Uncle come along too? So this is probably the only time the two of us have actually dined together at the hotel. So this is the first time."

Even if you don't count that one time, it should still be...

Chen En thought to himself.

However, his emotional intelligence was slightly superior, so he didn't say those words.

Instead, he nodded and said seriously.

"It really is the first time."

If saying this will make Sonoko Suzuki feel better.

The first time.

During their meal, Sonoko Suzuki and Chen En only talked about ordinary things and didn't mention anything about heinous incidents or supervillains.

Only at this moment do their identities seem somewhat ordinary.

It is no longer as dazzling as before.

While chatting, Chen En was also keeping track of the time in his mind.

One week.

Now, in just one week, everything will proceed smoothly.

The situation in Tokyo should stabilize.

The factory will also complete the necessary arrangements and begin production of the new smartphones.

The stealthy private Batplane he needs is almost ready to be built.

The promise made by Professor Agasa and Fusa Ena under the ginkgo tree will also be fulfilled within a week.

and also……

However, those things can be put on hold for now.

The key right now is to have a proper dinner.

Health is the foundation for success.

You should at least relax a bit.

"Have Brother Chen En and Sister Sonoko really confirmed their relationship?"

Heiji Hattori and Conan couldn't help but complain as they finished off the food on their plates.

"We actually did something so romantic together."

"What is this? A candlelight dinner?"

Upon hearing this, Conan casually remarked.

"They've been a couple for a while now."

"Do you think everyone is like you and Kazuha, hesitant to confirm their romantic relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow and quickly said.

"You're talking as if you and Sister Xiaolan have already confirmed your relationship."

"Why would we say something like 'eldest brother' instead of 'second brother'?"

Both were deeply hurt and ultimately chose to remain silent.

In the end, Conan had no choice but to eat a lot.

Then he twitched his nostrils and looked up at the wine glass in Hattori Heiji's hand.

Conan: ?

Why are you drinking?

"We can't drink alcohol..."

Hattori Heiji:?

He couldn't help but complain.

"Hey Kudo, have you been shrunk for so long that you've forgotten your original age?"

"So what if I drink? I drink baijiu like it's cold medicine. You're not a kid anymore, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Conan paused for a moment, then said.

"No, even if I didn't shrink, I'd still be a high school student."

"You're not old enough to drink legally yet."

That's what he thought at first too.

It wasn't until Kogoro Mouri said that there was nothing wrong with having a drink that Ran Mouri retorted, saying that even she wasn't old enough to drink, let alone Conan.

He then realized that he was not of legal drinking age even before he became a child.

"Oh, never mind that."

"I remember Uncle Mori saying that, didn't he?"

"Liquor is the source of energy and spirit; the more you drink, the more energetic you become."

"You may drink!"

After saying that, Hattori Heiji poured Conan a glass of wine.

Just like when he first met Conan, he directly forced Conan to drink strong liquor, which immediately caught Conan off guard.

Conan: ?

You better not let me get a chance.

Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of trouble!

Chapter 898 Rei Furuya and the Mysterious Organization

Chen En's gaze fell on Hattori Heiji, who was not far away.

I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as a famous detective from the Kansai region; he drank so much red wine and was completely unharmed.
