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

Heiji Hattori, who was following behind the two, couldn't help but ask Conan in a low voice.

The Grim Reaper Elementary School student simply stroked his chin thoughtfully, then said with certainty.

"I think a vicious murder is likely to have occurred at Ms. Judy's place."

"As a famous detective, I was drawn to the case, so I decided to go along with it."

Hattori Heiji:?

Are you out of your mind?

How did you know that a heinous murder would occur at Ms. Judy's place?

Do you have a killer radar or something?

Hattori Heiji's face showed a hint of speechlessness.

Then he suddenly remembered what Chen En had told him in the bat cave.

Chen En had told him this earlier in the bat cave.

Various low-probability events always happen around Conan, and in Beika Town, the most prominent example is the heinous murder case.

Since Conan chose to attend Teitan Elementary School, it means that a serious murder will definitely occur around him, near the school, or near the Detective Boys.

Hattori Heiji didn't believe in this superstition at first.

However, he still chose to test whether this claim was true. So in the afternoon, he deliberately made an excuse to decline Kazuha's invitation and quietly went to the route that Ran Mouri would take to pick up Conan and then go home.

Then screams came from inside the building.

When he entered the scene, he found that a vicious murder had indeed occurred inside the building.

And Conan was right next to him at the time.

Although, according to Conan's consistent statement, it's not the detective who attracts the cases, but rather the cases that attract the detective.

But this bizarre scene still made Hattori Heiji think that Chen En's words made a lot of sense.

Now Conan has suggested that no serious murder would occur in Jodie's apartment.

This made Hattori Heiji think.

Is Conan some kind of death god incarnate?

He could see where death would occur, so he went to the scene in advance to solve the case?

I don't know what the service staff are thinking on a regular basis.

However, seeing the other person's somewhat rude look, Conan still spoke with a dark expression.

"Hattori, did I not tell you before about the pattern of the heinous murders that occur in Beika Town?"

Oh? You have a pattern too?

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He looked at Conan and asked.

What pattern?

Upon hearing Heiji Hattori's question, Conan became serious and then spoke.

"A pattern in the occurrence of heinous murders in Beika Town."

"Actually, it depends on the following three factors: the Junior Detective League, Chen En, and Uncle Mori."

"If any two of the three factors appear in one place at the same time, a heinous murder will definitely occur in that place; if any one of the three factors appears alone in one place, a heinous murder is likely to occur in that place."

"Think about it, now that Chen En and I are both going to Professor Judy's apartment, doesn't that mean there's been a vicious murder there?"

Hattori Heiji:?

A hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

Then he looked at Conan's face and asked.

"If that's the case, then you shouldn't go."

"According to your three-factor theory, if only Chen En is at the apartment, it's just a matter of probability. But if you go with him, it's a certainty. Doesn't that mean you're indirectly causing someone's death?"

Conan: ?

What? There are actually such tricky arguments?

He was taken aback when he heard this.

Then, touching his chin, he began to explain.

"Although what you said sounds reasonable."

"But I don't think that's the case."

"Why do I think that's not the case? Because I think what I'm saying sounds reasonable, but it actually doesn't make sense."

Hattori Heiji:?

What are you trying to say, going around in circles and dawdling like this?

Do you want a data cable?

In short, after explaining vaguely for a long time, Conan finally sighed and said...

"Perhaps my assumptions were wrong."

"Although the fact that Chen En and I appeared in the same place should have led to a vicious murder, the three of us stayed in the bat cave for half a day and no vicious murder occurred."

"So, I think..."

Before Conan could finish speaking, Heiji Hattori grabbed him by the back of his collar.

The moment your feet leave the ground, logic shuts down, and wisdom instantly takes over the high ground of your brain.

He ultimately chose to remain silent, attributing his earlier ramblings to the specific meaning of the three x symbols that Yusaku Kudo had told him... an x ​​symbol that actually represented a kiss.

This is absurd. What principle could possibly lead to such a representation?

Although Conan and Heiji Hattori were chatting and joking around in the back.

However, Chen En and Judy's attention was completely focused on the two people behind them.

He simply looked up at the tall apartment building.

Then I remembered that this place seemed to have survived the city-wide bombing operation carried out by the Black Organization, so the property prices were probably relatively high. It's a pity that they're going to drop today.

There was no other reason than that Conan came along too.

This guy is the protagonist of the world; he dies wherever he goes.

This guy's insistence on coming here means that a vicious murder must have happened in the apartment building... It's disheartening that yet another clean property is about to be tainted by a vicious murder.

However, Judy had no idea what Chen En was thinking.

She simply breathed a sigh of relief to herself before smiling and saying...

"Looks like that pervert didn't come along today."

"Thank you so much this time, Awesome boy. But since you're already here, why don't you come upstairs with me, have some snacks, and then leave? That way I can express my gratitude."

You've finally revealed your true colors, haven't you?

Chen En shook his head slightly, and then followed Judy upstairs.

However, just as they encountered three people walking down the stairs in the stairwell, a system notification popped up, revealing yet another low-difficulty heinous murder case.

[A serious incident threatening Gotham City's safety has been detected nearby!]

As Batman, you have a duty to maintain order in Gotham City. Please arrive at the scene immediately and apprehend the criminal before they flee, or stop them from committing further crimes during their commission!

[Difficulty level assessed as low; completing this task will reward you with 20 points!]

Generally speaking, low-difficulty heinous murders are only triggered when the perpetrator encounters someone connected to the case or someone related to the perpetrator.

So, those people who just went downstairs are either connected to the heinous murder or the perpetrator and victim?

Chen En turned his head to look at the three people walking down.

Then he tapped the earphones lightly with his fingers.

They're still within the Beika Town area. Noah's Ark will easily pinpoint their location and whereabouts. We'll see if they actually commit any violence.

Family members, please take a day off.

Tomorrow I'm going to start my challenge of writing 20 chapters a day for a whole month. I'll win! ( )

Chapter 979 If Jesus had had an assault rifle, he wouldn't have been betrayed...

Although Judy initially invited them upstairs to have some snacks.

But as soon as they entered the building, Judy said she would treat them to dinner so they could try her cooking.

It's already around 6 p.m., which is indeed dinnertime, so making this request is quite reasonable and makes it hard to refuse.

Since we're already here, there's no harm in eating before leaving.

However, as Hattori Heiji sat down, he felt as if he had forgotten something.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember.

He then realized it probably wasn't anything very important, otherwise he would have remembered it.

Then his gaze fell on Judy.

This mysterious foreign blonde woman is quite puzzling.

When they were in the building earlier, he felt that the blonde woman was pretending to be weak while actually being strong. Now that they had spent more time together, he felt that way even more.
