"I remember the first time I met Brother Chen En, I was hitching a ride with Uncle Mao Li. What happened? Brother, didn't you even have your own car back then?"

Chen En's expression changed slightly, and he coughed twice.

Before he could struggle any further.

Then I heard Judy, who was sitting across from me, say in surprise.

"If Batman were penniless..."

"Isn't that just an ordinary person wearing a suit? Can that still be called Batman?"

Chen En: ?

You're right.

But as everyone knows, even if Batman has no money at all, he can still make a comeback. Even if I start out penniless, without a fortune to inherit, and with both my parents still alive.

I am still Batman!

In the end, Chen En sighed.

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you about this."

"Reality will not change according to your will."

Some people got angry, but I won't say who they are.

Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance.

The two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai have never worked together as well as they have now.

Judy also twitched the corner of her mouth.

She remembered that Chen En's most outstanding performance was at the game launch event, when Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En were leaving the Beika Municipal Building together, and Chen En rescued Suzuki Sonoko from a sniper rifle.

Although it may seem like a matter of hard power, in her opinion, it was entirely due to good luck.

It is impossible for a normal person to react to a sniper rifle.

However, just to be on the safe side, let's go back and check on Chen En's situation again.

Maybe this person really is Batman?

Judy pondered.

Dinner was quickly finished.

Heiji Hattori, who had his phone on silent, was completely unaware that something was wrong.

He glanced at the time and realized it was around 7 p.m., so his expression became a little serious. He prepared to test the waters for Conan and Chen En on Judy's behalf.

Unlike Chen En and Conan.

He's just an ordinary high school detective, without the powerful backgrounds or secrets that others possess.

Therefore, if he were to test Jodie, it wouldn't change anything even if Jodie discovered his intentions, since he is not only a famous high school detective but also the son of the Osaka Police Headquarters Chief of Police.

However, just as Hattori Heiji got up to test the waters, he felt Conan tug at his sleeve.

Although he was puzzled as to why Conan would do this, he wisely changed his mind and simply scratched the back of his head, saying with a grin.

"Wow, I didn't expect that even though you're from the United States, you're really good at Japanese cuisine."

"But if you can cook Japanese food well, why not also correct your Japanese pronunciation? If your pronunciation isn't standard, it will be difficult to learn how to cook well from a chef, right?"

In response to Heiji Hattori's words, Jodie simply replied, slightly tipsy.

"The cooking was easy, and Chen En boy helped with most of it."

During the cooking session just now, she felt that Chen En's culinary skills were really high.

It's as tall as a three- or four-story building.

As is widely known, Batman can't cook at all.

They can even go so far as to blow up the kitchen, almost like something out of a comedy.

Even Alfred would say that the food Batman made, even with his respect for Batman, could not be called a dish at all.

This is quite different from the image of Batman that Judy had in mind.

However, she did not keep Chen En any longer to test him further. Instead, she planned to take her leave while she was ahead and send Chen En and the others out of the building. After all, it was none of Conan, Chen En, or Hattori Heiji.

None of these three are easy to deal with; they've already demonstrated their reasoning abilities inside the building.

However, just as Judy escorted Chen En and the other two downstairs to the first floor and they left the residential building, they noticed a woman pointing her phone at the upper floors of the building, seemingly filming something, which puzzled Judy and the others.

Judy recognized the man; he was the girlfriend of the homeowner who lived in the room next to hers.

Although I don't know the other person's name, we sometimes bump into each other when we go out and we greet each other. Although we're not very familiar with each other, it's still okay to go over and say hello and ask about things.

So Judy walked directly toward the woman, just as she was about to ask a question.

Then a woman cried out in surprise.

"Ah!!1"

Chapter 981 The Unique Physical Qualities of the Rice Flower People

The woman suddenly screamed.

This immediately sent a shiver down the spines of Hattori Heiji, Conan, and Chen En.

What's going on? Are they going to refine a pill for graduate school admission?

But it was Judy who went up to chat up that woman.

The phone shutter clicked.

A figure fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

He's obviously a seasoned player who's good at headbutting the ground.

The man's head hit the ground, and blood gushed out, covering the ground.

The Nokia phone was also lying to the side.

But that's all.

Chen En looked up and, with the help of his extraordinary physical abilities honed by advanced combat skills, immediately noticed that one of the windows was open and the curtains were drawn, seemingly torn.

I made a rough estimate of the distance.

Even Chen En gasped in surprise.

Dude, you fell from the 21st floor and all you got was blood on your head?

Generally speaking, this is what happens when something falls from a height of over 60 meters.

Isn't it just turned into a pancake?

Indeed, the physical abilities of the Mika people cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

It seems that these people's physical condition only inexplicably drops to a certain range when they commit violence or are killed.

Heiji Hattori and Conan stared in shock at the fallen body. They rushed to the side to check if it was still alive, but it had fallen from the 21st floor and was already dead.

They quickly dialed the hospital and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

We're going to call an ambulance to try and save her again, to see if there's any hope.

Chen En and Judy, on the other hand, focused their attention on the woman who had just taken the photo.

There's clearly something fishy about this person.

The other party didn't take photos earlier or later, but chose to look up and take pictures just as the deceased was about to fall.

Did they already know the deceased would fall from there, and did it deliberately?

Chen En actually remembered this person.

The woman in front of me was one of the three people who had brushed past Judy and the others and walked downstairs.

The other person's name is Shimoda Chika.

I just drove two drunk colleagues home, and then drove back.

I took photos on the first floor for unknown reasons and did not go upstairs.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Either Shimoda Chika is the murderer and is using this opportunity to create an alibi, or the murderer doesn't want Shimoda Chika to be involved in the case and become a suspect, so they deliberately created an alibi for her.

Based on this, the person who had Chika Shimoda take photos on the first floor should be the real culprit.

Chen En pondered for a moment.

Judy, standing next to him, had already started asking why the other person was taking pictures there.

Chika Shimoda was actually quite frightened by the fact that her boyfriend had suddenly fallen from the building and died. She trembled when Judy asked her the question before stammering out her answer.

"This, this..."

"I was planning to go back to my own place after seeing that Section Chief Takai was asleep in his room, but a colleague messaged me saying he wanted to see what Section Chief Takai's house looked like from the outside..."

"Then I drove back."

"I'm going to take a few photos here and send them to that colleague. Then I'll go upstairs to check if Section Chief Takai has sobered up. If he hasn't, I'll drive back..."

At this point, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"That's really strange. Section Chief Takai was sleeping soundly, how could he suddenly fall and die?"

"Could it be that someone gave him a push at that time?"

That's not impossible.

Judy nodded inwardly, acknowledging Tian Qianjia's guess.

She took two steps back, glanced at Chen En beside her, took the key from Shimoda Chika, and then turned and went upstairs, intending to check if any suspicious persons had appeared near Section Chief Takai's house.

Chen En paused briefly in place and asked in a calm voice.
