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

When they saw Chen En parked a modified civilian vehicle outside Chen En Manor.

He made sure to greet Chen En before inviting him over for a late-night snack.

Upon hearing Ye Caisan's greeting, Curaçao, who was originally staying in the room, and Ai Haibara, who had come up for a late-night snack at the perfect time, also came into Chen En's line of sight.

Chen En shook his head slightly, pushed open the main villa door, and walked inside.

Then, looking at the dozen or so late-night snacks, he sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Ye Caisan, have you forgotten? Professor Agasa isn't coming home for dinner today, is he?"

"You've prepared about ten late-night snacks, who's going to take care of them?"

These words immediately stunned Ye Caisan.

Oh dear, you know what, I had actually forgotten about it.

He usually prepares more than 10 late-night snacks at a time because Professor Agasa has a big appetite, so he prepares more for Professor Agasa. Therefore, he did the same subconsciously today.

As a result, Chen En reminded Ye Cai that Dr. Agasa wouldn't be coming home for dinner tonight.

He immediately turned to look at the extra ten or so late-night snacks, unsure of what to do with them, and subconsciously cast his gaze on Curaçao, who had already started eating.

Suddenly, Curaçao felt a chill run down her spine. She looked around and finally realized that it was Ye Caisan looking at her.

She glanced at Professor Agasa's empty seat, then at the extra ten or so late-night snacks, and after much deliberation, finally nodded firmly, indicating that she could give it a try.

I was once a highly trained elite member of the Black Organization.

If you can't beat Batman, can't you beat these 10-plus late-night snacks?

Seeing Curaçao engrossed in her meal, Ai Haibara, standing nearby, was speechless.

She felt that being codenamed members of the Black Organization alongside Curaçao was somewhat beneath her status, but there was nothing she could do about it now. She wondered what would happen next on Professor Agasa's side.

However, it seems that Professor Agasa isn't coming back to stay today.

Progress should be quick.

...Oh, wait a minute, Professor Agasa might be staying at his house. I'll call and ask later if he's there, and see if we're having a celebration party or a consolation party tomorrow.

"Speaking of which, Miss Haibara."

Ye Caisan suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Ai Haibara.

"Has my love plan for Mr. Agasa come in handy? To be honest, I think my plan is flawless, and it can be called the culmination of my love planning over the years."

"It must have provided Dr. Agasa with considerable help, right?"

Ai Haibara: ?

Yes, right?

Oh, yes, yes.

Ai Haibara paused for a moment before speaking.

"I think it should be useful."

"However, Professor Agasa has evolved to the point where there are no moves, and he can return to the simple truth. So when facing a strong enemy, he doesn't even need to use these moves, and he can end the battle directly."

"For your specific thoughts, you should ask Professor Agasa tomorrow. He should be able to tell you the details."

You can't say that Professor Agasa didn't use any of the tricks you gave him, can you?

Hearing this, Ye Caisan stroked his chin with a smug look on his face.

As expected, my criminal planning skills are still sharp as ever.

Even if he doesn't work on criminal plans, he's quite good at planning romances. Maybe this could become a future career path for me, Ye Caisan. I'll practice on that kid named Hattori Heiji later.

He's not even sixty yet, which is the perfect time for him to take risks!

Chen En was unsure how to evaluate Ye Caisan's dating plan.

After all, when he went to the scene to help Ai Haibara save the day, he had already heard from her about Ye Caisan's love plan, which had been completely ineffective.

However, to avoid hurting Ye Caisan's pride, he chose to remain silent and instead talked about other things.

"Haibara, I asked you to investigate the ghost stories at Teitan High School."

"I wonder if there are any relevant records online? If I'm not mistaken, I'll be going to Teitan High School to exorcise demons in the next couple of days. It would be good to get some information."

Chen En's words made Ai Haibara nod slightly.

You know what, although the ghost stories at Teitan High School only started appearing recently.

However, since the students at Teitan High School are quite nosy, they have already edited the relevant stories into posts and published them on a famous ghost story forum.

It's worth mentioning that the top post on that forum was a ghost story about Kisaragi Station.

It's that Kisaragi Station, adapted from an episode of Ultraman 80. In a way, this ghost story forum has been purified by light once.

"The ghost stories of Teitan High School consist of three parts."

"They are the sighing sports warehouse, the resentful library, and the cursed staircase."

Ai Haibara took out a small notebook and read aloud what she had written down to Chen En.

Although he didn't know what the first two situations were.

But when you tell him that the cursed staircase is associated with Japan, Chen En almost subconsciously thinks of the classic school ghost story about the extra thirteenth step.

Legend has it that by repeatedly counting the steps on a staircase with only 12 steps, one can find the 13th step.

The person who counts the 13th step will fall into the alternate dimension behind the stairs and disappear completely from this world, which is known as being "disappeared by the gods".

If this is indeed the story, then Chen En felt it was necessary to find someone who specialized in this to help.

However, as Ai Haibara described it, Chen En immediately forgot his original idea and was speechless, because he knew at a glance that it was not the work of any ghost or monster.

"The sound of crying came from the warehouse, where there was a desk and chair belonging to a deceased classmate named Hosaka."

"Four books that Hosaka borrowed during his lifetime were left haphazardly outside the library for four consecutive days, leading students to believe that this was the work of the deceased Hosaka's vengeful spirit."

"The ground where Hosaka fell down the stairs and died was soaked with water, which some people believe is the tears of the curse of the deceased Hosaka."

Chen En frowned slightly.

"Wow, what an amazing school ghost story... Did you think I would say that?"

"Dude, I thought it was some kind of campus ghost story, is that all?"

"Isn't this obviously a prank? If you don't study hard in high school, what will you do for the college entrance exam? I'll go over there and teach that prankster a lesson, so he'll know that if you don't court death, you won't die!"

Ai Haibara and Ye Cai San exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt in their eyes.

What is the college entrance examination?

Chen En is using some mysterious Eastern terminology they can't understand again!

Chapter 1051 The Pavilion of Hope

After realizing that the ghost stories at Teitan High School were most likely just a prank by someone.

Chen En was radiating a visible resentment, muttering something under his breath, and went up the stairs to the bat cave without looking back, probably to prepare a special prop for later use.

Looking at Ai Haibara and Ye Caisan, he was completely bewildered.

After a while, Ye Caisan asked tentatively.

"If I remember correctly, although Chen En's name is from another region and he often uses terms and special allusions from other regions, judging from his identity and household registration, he seems to be a native of Beika Town, right?"

"Why do you speak with the same resentment as an international student from a mysterious Eastern country?"

Hearing this, Ai Haibara stroked her chin, simply expressing her feelings.

"Perhaps it's a case of sympathy for one's own kind."

However, there's something strange about Chen En's identity file.

But if you ask me what's strange about it, I can't really find it. It just feels very ordinary, but this ordinary background is completely inconsistent with the person's strength.

Upon verification, it turned out to be all true, without a single falsehood.

The two experienced box unpackers discussed the matter briefly.

Then they heard the sound of plates being stacked disappear. The two of them instinctively turned to look at Curaçao, who was still at the table. Curaçao, with tears in her eyes, pushed aside the five plates of late-night snacks that she couldn't finish.

Upon seeing this, Ye Caisan and Ai Haibara couldn't help but gasp.

This woman's appetite is as large as two-thirds that of Professor Agasa.

With 60% of Professor Agasa's strength and 30% of Genta's, they are destined for greatness. It seems we should control our diet a little in the future, so that Curaçao doesn't become the only big eater in the Bat Cave.

There's nothing shameful about following in the footsteps of Professor Agasa and Genta.

But that's just too much good fortune; the Bat Cave can't really afford it.

Regardless of the conversations among the people in Chen En Manor, at this very moment inside the Bat Cave, Chen En was sitting in front of the supercomputer, drafting his doubled prank plan.

Suddenly, a process indicating that the monitoring system had been invoked popped up on the supercomputer's screen.

He subconsciously looked up at the supercomputer screen, his eyes narrowing slightly. He then realized that Noah's Ark was calling the monitoring system, seemingly investigating something, so he asked directly.

"What happened? Noah's Ark."

Upon hearing this, Noah's Ark, who was helping Conan search for Heiji Hattori's whereabouts, immediately replied.

"It's nothing, Conan just messaged me saying he wants to check on Heiji Hattori."

"Because Heiji Hattori didn't come to see him all day, Conan felt that this was a bit abnormal. And I just investigated and found that Heiji Hattori is not currently in Beika Town or the surrounding area."

"Ah, where do you think Hattori Heiji is right now?"

In response, Chen En simply stroked his chin and tentatively said...

"How about checking ticket information for Nagano Prefecture?"

Previously, Morofushi Takaaki and Kazami Yuya had also met Hattori Heiji inside the Suzuki Foundation exhibition hall.

Although Morofushi Takaaki and Kazami Yuya seemed to have been invited for tea by the Japanese Public Security Bureau and did not reappear for a while, according to Chen En's investigation of the Japanese Public Security Bureau's internal database...
