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

He looked down at the display on the tracker as he spoke to Hattori Heiji.

"I understand. I'll end the call now. I need to confirm with Noah's Ark."

"I will tell you the details once I find out the specific information."

Hattori Heiji naturally had no complaints either.

After the call ended, Chen En tapped his earpiece lightly with his fingers, and the voice of Noah's Ark immediately came through.

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

...I always felt that the voice of Noah's Ark had a strange emotion.

Chen En said calmly.

"Noah's Ark, I'll give you a location, can you check if Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri are in that location?"

Faced with this incredibly simple request, Noah's Ark gave a straightforward and decisive answer.

"OK, the monitoring system is ready and awaiting location!"

Chen En quickly reported the location of the two nearly overlapping locator dots displayed on the tracker to Noah's Ark, and Noah's Ark also began to track the specific location using the monitoring system.

Soon, Noah's Ark sent the information to the display installed on the civilian modified vehicle.

Chen En then tapped the earpiece again, switching the channel to the listening devices on Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He then began comprehensive surveillance and eavesdropping, in conjunction with the images on the monitor.

At this very moment, Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri are in a high-end restaurant.

This nationally renowned detective, who had just faced a life-or-death crisis that morning, was now sitting casually in his chair, eating and drinking heartily, and even took a big gulp of expensive red wine before saying with a grin.

"...Don't worry, I've got it covered."

"I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri!"

The person sitting opposite Kogoro Mouri answered.

"Since Detective Mori says so, I'm relieved."

Before he could finish speaking, the person's identity information and headshot popped up on the monitor.

The speed at which Noah's Ark is being opened has reached an unprecedented level.

Don't ask, the answer is the value of super artificial intelligence.

This person's name is Fujieda Mikio.

He is the head of the Fujieda family, and officially inherited the Fujieda family after marrying into the family and becoming their adopted son-in-law.

If Suzuki Tomoko had extended an olive branch to Chen En back then, and Chen En had agreed to marry into the Suzuki family, he would have become the new heir to the Suzuki Group through this process.

After marrying into the Fujie family, Fujie Mikio used the family's assets to engage in many illegal transactions.

They continuously generated wealth for the Fujieda family by utilizing assets in the gray area.

Judging solely by his methods, he is an absolute scoundrel.

The reason this person approached Kogoro Mouri and made a request to him was for only one reason.

Chen En slightly adjusted the sound in the other earphone, using both channels to simultaneously listen to the conversation between the two when they first started talking and their current conversation, thus confirming Fujieda Mikio's purpose in finding Mouri Kogoro.

Fujieda Mikio must have encountered a ghost while walking at night.

Someone sent threatening letters and bullets to Mikio Fujieda, saying they wanted to take his life. Because he was afraid of dying, Mikio Fujieda invited Kogoro Mouri to protect his life.

Normally, you should seek help from officers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

However, Mikio Fujieda's business in the gray area did not allow him to do so.

If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers investigate why Mikio Fujieda was sent threats and bullets, then Fujieda's illicit assets will be uncovered, and he will be arrested without the murderer even having to kill him.

“Since Detective Mori agrees, then this check for 10 million is just a small token of my appreciation.”

Fujieda Mikio said this.

"And this is just a deposit I'm giving you. If I'm still alive by then, I'll pay you an additional fee, which will definitely not be less than the 10 million deposit I'm giving you today."

He placed the 10 million yen check on the table and pushed it towards Kogoro Mouri.

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up.

Without saying a word, he took the check, stuffed it into his pocket, and readily agreed.

"I already said I'm fine."

"You can completely trust me, the famous detective Kogoro Mouri. After all, I am a nationally renowned detective. Protecting people and finding murderers is a piece of cake for me."

Despite this, Kogoro Mouri's success rate in fulfilling protection requests is 0%.

Every time someone receives a threatening letter asking Kogoro Mouri to investigate the crime scene or protect the client, someone always ends up dying. When they come to Kogoro Mouri, Mikio Fujieda has truly struck gold.

Ran Mouri, sitting next to Kogoro Mouri, sighed.

The reason they left the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was because Kogoro Mouri received a call from Mikio Fujieda wanting to discuss a case. After Eri Kisaki learned that the client was Mikio Fujieda, she told Kogoro Mouri to refuse the case.

Because Eri Kisaki knew that Mikio Fujieda was a complete scoundrel.

However, Kogoro Mouri did not refuse.

Don't ask. The answer is that there's a 10 million yen check in front of me. Whether it's loyal or treacherous, I can tell!

After saying goodbye to Mikio Fujieda, Kogoro Mouri cheerfully led Ran Mouri toward the Mouri Detective Agency, not forgetting to buy a can of beer at the convenience store next door.

Don't ask, I'm just celebrating my narrow escape from death and this 10 million yen check!

Shouldn't we drink and feast?

Liquor is the source of energy and spirit; the more you drink, the more energetic you become! Liquor is the source of courage and heroism; the more you drink, the more valiant you become!

Alas, the happy times are about to begin!

Chapter 1013 Intersecting Parallel Lines

Kogoro Mouri is truly a remarkable person.

He's incredibly indiscriminate when it comes to commissions; he'll take any job, regardless of its nature.

They didn't even bother to investigate what kind of person the client was.

Chen En merely twitched the corner of his mouth at Kogoro Mouri's behavior, unsure how to comment, and could only tell Heiji Hattori the situation verbatim.

When Hattori Heiji received Chen En's text message, he was speechless.

I thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be just this?

However, if the Chinese version of the game's character, the Baron, is going to have a big drinking session at the Mori Detective Agency, wouldn't it be better to go there now and get a free drink? Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing.

However, before going to freeload off some drinks, Hattori Heiji sent Chen En a final text message.

【Chen En, you wait for me!】

I'll settle the score with you sooner or later for fooling me!

[Sender: Hattori Heiji]

Chen En: ?

Wow, you're really biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing a kind heart.

I was just trying to help you out, how could you treat me like this?

Where is your conscience? (sound)

However, Chen En did not concern himself with Hattori Heiji's affairs.

Let's settle the accounts.

He's Batman, after all.

No matter how much Hattori Heiji tries to hold accountable, he can't possibly be held responsible.

Impossible, I always have a backup plan!

Chen En activated the warp drive and quickly returned to the Bat Cave.

After driving his vehicle into the Bat Cave's vehicular traffic lane and parking his modified civilian car in the garage, he quickly got out, intending to use Noah's Ark to check if any of the people he had dealt with possessed gems.

As soon as he stepped out of the garage, he ran into Professor Agasa.

At this moment, Professor Agasa is holding a pistol, and it's unclear what he's doing.

He was startled when he saw Chen En, but fortunately he hadn't pulled the safety off the gun, so the pistol didn't suddenly go off and cause a serious safety incident.

"Good afternoon, Arn."

Dr. Agasa greeted him with an awkward smile.

Chen En nodded slightly, then looked at Dr. Agasa's pistol and asked in confusion.

"Professor Agasa, what do you, an inventor, need a pistol for?"

"Do you mean you've recently done some new research that requires testing with a handgun?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa scratched the back of his head and replied with a smile.

"Haha, yes, that's right."

"I'm planning to improve Kevlar bulletproof fiber to see if I can create a bat suit with even stronger bulletproof protection."

Good, good, good! This is the true value of a great inventor in the world of Detective Conan!

Upon hearing this, Chen En couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

He patted Professor Agasa on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Agasa, fly freely, the bats will always follow you."

Dr. Agasa: ?

Your words are so cheesy.

And it was my friend, so this is really bad luck.
