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

Of course, that being said, if you were to ask Kogoro Mouri himself...

Kogoro Mouri, who is proud throughout his life, would never admit to this.

Although Ran and Conan knew about the situation, they didn't intend to expose Kogoro's shortcomings in front of others. They just chuckled and vaguely brushed it off without going into details.

As the group talked, the group continued to move forward.

Although the total number of people queuing did not decrease, as time went on, those who came alone to buy bags finally couldn't hold on any longer, gave up their original spots, and went to eat nearby instead, or simply gave up shopping altogether.

As a result, the queuing trend is becoming increasingly rapid.

Therefore, before 3 p.m., Ran Mouri and her group had already bought the new bags they wanted, and then went home to prepare for the filming of the detective show that evening.

However, after returning home...

Eri Kisaki subconsciously started rummaging through things she hadn't touched in a long time.

Before long, she pulled out a dusty box from the corner that hadn't been opened in a long time. Inside were the yearbooks written by many classmates when they parted ways at Teitan Junior High and Teitan High School.

She flipped through the yearbooks, her gaze slowly settling on one page.

This is a yearbook left by her middle school classmate, Ruri Doigaki.

In Eri's memory, this classmate always looked like a bookworm, wearing oversized glasses, and inexplicably gave off a country bumpkin vibe.

However, with each reunion in recent years, Ruri Doigaki has changed more and more.

Now, he has completely shed his former bookish image and adopted the stage name Yu Cheng Liu Li, becoming a famous singer and actress. He has even released a new album recently.

If nothing unexpected happens, the invitation Kogoro Mouri received is directly related to Ruri Amashiro.

After all, that old classmate mentioned at the last gathering that he planned to appear on a detective mystery show, and if given the opportunity, he might invite Kogoro Mouri, who is already a famous detective, to appear on the show together.

But what exactly is Yu Cheng Liu Li up to...?

Eri Kisaki did not speculate further.

He then turned his gaze to the Teitan High School yearbook next to him, and after randomly flipping through a few pages, he found a classmate who was mentioned in great detail. This classmate was even more famous than Ruri Amashiro was now.

That's Yukiko Fujimine.

To be precise, she should now be called Yukiko Kudo.

Back when she was at Teitan High School, there was a Teitan Princess selection event, and the person who competed with Eri Kisaki for the position of Teitan Princess was Yukiko Kudo.

In the end, for some unknown reason, the two sides tied, and it seems that someone did not vote.

In the end, the title of Princess Teitan did not fall to either her or Yukiko Kudo.

Thinking back on it now, it still brings back some fond memories. If I have the chance, I'd like to visit the Kudo family sometime and see what Yukiko's thoughts are on this matter back then...

Meanwhile, at the Mori Detective Agency.

Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, you bought a bag for Eri in my name?"

He already knew that Ran Mouri had used his name to take the money meant for her to buy a bag and then used it to buy a new bag for Eri Kisaki, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Only on this level can Ran Mouri appear so clever.

His face darkened slightly before he spoke.

"Alright, never mind that. Let's pack up and get ready to go."

"The location is a bit out of the way this time, so we have to leave early, otherwise we might miss the evening's filming time."

Chapter 1040 What day is Friday?

"Let's schedule the press conference for Friday."

Offices inside the Suzuki Foundation headquarters building.

The three heads of the Suzuki Group and Chen En were seated here, discussing matters related to the official debut of Chen En's company. However, after hearing Suzuki Jirokichi's suggestion, Chen En couldn't help but ask a question.

"What day is Friday? Tomorrow or the day after?"

Chen En's words startled the three people present.

Tomoko Suzuki and Shiro Suzuki exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

Even Jirokichi Suzuki couldn't help but say something.

"Brother Chen En, what's wrong with you? Have you lost track of day and night while playing Batman?"

"Today is Thursday, tomorrow must be Friday, right?"

Oh, I see. Tomorrow is Friday.

Chen En nodded in sudden realization.

This left the three people present looking at each other in bewilderment.

What's going on? Has this kid really gone mad from believing Batman?

Superheroes are a menace!

Of course, Chen En simply didn't know the timeline of this world.

After all, in this world, today is Thursday, tomorrow could be Saturday, or it could be Monday.

It's even possible that we'll have New Year's Day today, Qixi Festival tomorrow, Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow, and New Year's Day again the day after that, which is designed to confuse people's sense of time.

However, it seems that the locals in this world are all able to judge time normally...

Chen En snapped out of his daze and simply said...

"I'm not very clear about this matter. Since you uncles think it's acceptable, then let's do it your way. Do I need to be present in person?"

This kind of thing definitely requires the person involved to be present in person.

Jirokichi Suzuki sighed and reached out to touch Chen En's forehead.

It seemed that he only spoke after confirming whether Chen En had a fever and that Chen En's mental state was normal.

"You'll need to go to the press conference and make an appearance in front of the public."

"Apart from that, I can handle the other social engagements for you, but if you have time later, it would be better to go if you do, as it will benefit both you and Chen En Enterprise."

Don't ask, the answer is simple: having more friends means having more options.

However, despite this, Suzuki Jirokichi felt that Chen En didn't necessarily have to participate in such social events, since the product Chen En presented this time was indeed groundbreaking and revolutionary.

If Chen En himself were to participate in such social events, it might actually lower his own standards.

After further discussions regarding the situation of Chen En's company.

Just as the Suzuki Group finished its internal family meeting and everyone was leaving, Sonoko Suzuki, who was carrying a new handbag and had come to show it off to her parents, arrived late.

She looked at the crowd that had just left with a blank expression, wondering what they were talking about.

To this, Shiro Suzuki simply waved his hand and said...

"Sonoko, you're done here, go have some fun."

Although the garden is free from illness and disaster, this is indeed something for the parents to be happy about.

However, her tendency to appear somewhat dim-witted left Shiro Suzuki, the chairwoman of the Suzuki Group, with mixed feelings. After all, this kind of behavior basically disqualified her from being the kind of strong woman who could control the Suzuki Group.

If Sonoko Suzuki's personality and abilities were similar to Tomoko Suzuki's.

Even if they didn't find a son-in-law or adopt a son, it would have been just as foolproof to let Sonoko Suzuki inherit the Suzuki Group. It's just a pity that Ayako suddenly ran off with someone else's rascal.

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Sonoko Suzuki nodded, seemingly understanding.

Then, she turned her gaze to Chen En, proudly holding up her bag and waiting for Chen En's opinion, which made Chen En a little embarrassed to take out his backpack from the car.

Now that things have come to this, he can no longer bring himself to admit that he bought and brought back every single new bag.

Chen En patted Suzuki Sonoko's head with a complicated expression, praising her good taste.

Then I thought I'd rummage through my backpack later and take out the same new bag to see if I could get a kind word in response... Anyway, it's better than bringing nothing at all.

He took Sonoko Suzuki for a drive and then delivered her bag to her.

Then he told Sonoko Suzuki about what they had discussed in the conference room of the Suzuki Foundation headquarters, which made Sonoko exclaim in surprise.

"Is the company holding a press conference tomorrow for their official debut?"

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. It hasn't even been a month since you and your uncle proposed the plan for Chengen Enterprises."

"Are we not prepared enough?"

Generally speaking, the phrase "not adequately prepared" is unlikely to be used to describe members of the Bat Family.

Not to mention Chen En, who is the Batman of Candy Rice.

Chen En used a variety of technical terms in just a few words.

The commotion left Suzuki Sonoko completely bewildered, utterly unaware of what was happening. She only knew that Chen En's preparations were thorough and there was absolutely no possibility of any mishap, which put her at ease.

However, while taking a drive, Sonoko Suzuki didn't forget to mention what Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki had said while queuing earlier that day.

Upon hearing that Kogoro Mouri had a television station request for him today and that he would be taking Conan with him, Chen En immediately realized that someone was probably having a funeral today.

He reached out and tapped his earphones, and Noah's Ark immediately played the recording from this morning.

It clearly states where Kogoro Mouri will be tonight, on what program, as an invited guest detective, and what his opening remarks will be.

Although Chen En has not yet triggered any security missions.

However, it cannot be ruled out that Kogoro Mouri has not yet come into contact with the deceased or the murderer. From this perspective, since the place Kogoro Mouri is going tonight is near Tokyo, there is no reason for him not to go.

However, when it comes to detective and mystery shows, Chen En couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Detectives have a really high status in this world.

Not only do many famous detectives possess the ability to influence the direction of police investigations, but even ordinary people highly admire the detective profession, and various detective-related programs, movies, and TV series are frequent visitors to the ratings charts.

Perhaps the fact that Batman is more famous in this world than in his original world is not a matter of sensory distortion.
