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

"This brother's sincerity touched me."

"I'm not greedy for money, money isn't important. I'm just very moved by your thirst for knowledge. I'll give you my spot. Remember to call me next time there's something like this."

It's not that he lacks the passion of a detective novel reader.

However, Chen En gave far too much.

Looking at the users of money power in front of them, the many people in line who were a step too late couldn't help but sigh with regret, wishing they had reached out sooner, otherwise those two stacks of yen would have been theirs.

The ordinary citizens of Beika Town, who had initially shown murderous intent, immediately became much more restrained when they saw that Chen En had simply switched places with someone else instead of cutting in line.

However, there were still a few ordinary citizens from Beika Town who were quite angry about the dog tycoon.

Thinking that this person was already courting death, yet dared to use money to humiliate the character of others, especially since they didn't have any money on them, it was an utter disgrace. He decided to find an opportunity to go to his house and film two episodes of Detective Conan.

The people in the first and second positions finally turned around with some confusion, looking at the person in the third position who had just switched places, as if they thought the voice of the person in the third position sounded familiar.

Chen En looked at the first and second picks and felt they looked familiar, revealing a somewhat surprised expression, and said.

"Oh, Heiji, Kazuha, you're back from Nagano Prefecture?"

Indeed, the people appearing in the first and second positions at this moment are naturally Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha.

Both of them came from the families of the top two officers at the Osaka Police Headquarters, so they naturally didn't care about ordinary cash. Therefore, when Chen En suggested changing seats, they didn't even look back.

Only after hearing the voices repeatedly did he recognize that the speaker was Chen En, and then he turned to look.

"Of course, who do you think I am?"

Hattori Heiji confidently pointed to himself with his thumb.

"I am the famous detective Hattori Heiji, the famous detective of Kansai!"

"Although the Hope Mansion incident was indeed a bit difficult to resolve, that's only from the perspective of others. With me and Kazuha taking action, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to solve it?"

Because he even brought Kazuha along when he was bragging this time.

Kazuha Toyama, who was in first place, also showed a slight smile. However, when Heiji Hattori turned his head to look at her with some confusion, Kazuha Toyama quickly put away her smile and pretended that she hadn't shown anything.

"The Pavilion of Hope? Does that Pavilion of Hope have any other names?"

The name Chen En sounds somewhat familiar.

However, he couldn't think of any place related to the Hall of Hope for the time being. He couldn't very well say it was Hope's Peak High School next door, could he? That was completely unrelated.

So he subconsciously asked.

Hattori Heiji answered without hesitation.

"Oh, how did you know it had another name?"

"It was originally called the House of Hope, but after someone died there, the other young people living in the House of Hope left, and it became known as the House of Death."

Upon hearing this, Chen En immediately showed a look of realization.

He doesn't really remember the Hall of Hope, but he does remember the Hall of Death.

Chen En mentioned the Chibi Pavilion in Chapter 348.

In that episode, Ran Mouri demonstrated her knowledge of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the "Red Cliffs Pavilion" refers to the Pavilion of Death and the Pavilion of Hope.

Because the full title of that chapter is "The Hall of Death: Red Cliff".

It has to be said that it would be much easier for Hattori Heiji to solve that arc than for Conan.

Both are high school detectives, but while Hattori Heiji's reasoning skills are slightly inferior, he can make up for it with his fighting prowess, making solving problems a piece of cake.

Just as Chen En was about to ask again about the situation of the Death Mansion incident,

I want to compare this with my memory of the events at Chibi, the "Hall of Death," to see what the differences are.

However, since the bookstore's pre-sale point had already started selling books, in order to avoid the large crowd behind them thinking that the three of them were up to no good, they had no choice but to buy the books first and put the matter aside for later.

Chapter 1071 Achieved a brief success in solving the puzzle.

"...That's the situation."

"Although I said it was no problem for me to handle it, that incident was indeed quite troublesome, taking me two whole days, but the results were still pretty good."

Hattori Heiji confidently pinched his hat.

"Now even Morofushi Takaaki from Nagano Prefecture acknowledges my strength."

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before I become famous in Tokyo. Sooner or later, I will let everyone know that there is only one famous high school detective in the Kanto and Kansai region."

"That's me, Hattori Heiji!"

That's a real shame.

Chen En twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly.

According to his recollection, even though Shinichi Kudo did not appear in various media for as long as half a year, he was still not forgotten by the public and maintained a very high level of prestige and reputation.

Heiji Hattori thinks he can replace Shinichi Kudo, who has handled over 1000 cases in just over a year, with these small-scale incidents.

That's definitely more than ten years too early.

Thinking of this, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.

Holding the detective novel, Hattori Heiji was a little flustered, looking at Chen En with a puzzled expression, wondering what Chen En meant by that look. He subconsciously glanced at himself.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had nothing extra on him.

However, Hattori Heiji immediately pointed to the novel Chen En was holding and asked curiously.

"Hey, Chen En, I don't remember you liking detective novels."

"Although I haven't spent as much time with you as Conan has, I've still managed to see through your true nature. You have absolutely no interest in those detective novels, and you haven't even read many of them."

"I feel like all you know is one Sherlock Holmes story."

"While Detective Samonji is indeed a very good detective novel series, it can't compare to the Sherlock Holmes stories. Why did Detective Samonji catch your eye? Is there any special reason?"

Heiji Hattori asked questions with the mindset of a high school detective, instinctively wanting to get to the bottom of everything.

Yuanshan and Ye sighed slightly.

However, she didn't say much, but just looked at Chen En, as if she was planning to find some time to talk to Chen En about something. Chen En noticed this and just said to Hattori Heiji.

"If you follow the news in Tokyo, you'll know that Detective Samonji has a new author."

Hattori Heiji nodded slightly.

“I know that the original author has passed away, so his daughter continued the writing.”

Why are you telling me this?

Chen En continued.

"At the time, the old gentleman left a riddle in the manuscript, hoping that the readers of the novel could use their strong reasoning skills to solve the riddle, find him who had pretended to be missing, and fulfill his wish."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji was startled.

"There's more to this than that?"

"So who solved the mystery back then? Ah, no, asking that is a bit redundant. Since you're saying that, it must have been you and Conan who solved the mystery, right..."

"I achieved a one-second success in solving this puzzle; why don't you give it a try?"

Chen En said slowly.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Hattori Heiji that he had skipped the questions and found the answers directly based on his memory of the TV content. So he just gave Hattori Heiji a meaningful look and let him guess for himself.

"So I have some connection with that author, which is why I came here to buy his book to support him."

Hattori Heiji:?

Are you kidding me?

How come you and Conan are the only ones who encounter something like this?

Hattori Heiji's face darkened.

His already pale complexion was now as black as the bottom of a pot.

Although he felt that his life as a famous detective in the Kansai region was colorful enough, compared to Chen En and Conan in Tokyo, it was as boring as an NPC.

Are you two really not calamity gods born in Tokyo?

After briefly skipping over that topic, Chen En explained that he came to buy books so that he could get one for Ai Haibara and one for Conan, and also mentioned that Conan was still at school that day.

The story then shifts to the ghost stories associated with Teitan High School.

These words immediately surprised Hattori Heiji.

"Isn't today Saturday? What's the point of going to school?"

As a Kansai native, he was indeed straightforward and forthright in his speech.

Chen En was stumped as soon as he opened his mouth, so he had no choice but to say...

"Never mind that, we in Mihua have our own national conditions."

Okay, okay, so you, Mika, have become your own country, huh?

Hattori Heiji was speechless.

He had originally planned to go directly to the Mouri Detective Agency to meet Conan and talk about the trip, but since Chen En said that Conan had gone to school, he wouldn't be able to see Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency now.

Since that's the case, let's go play for a bit and talk about it after school this afternoon.

However, thinking about this, Hattori Heiji suddenly realized something, touched his chin, and asked curiously.

"Oh, wait, you just told me about the ghost stories at Teitan High School?"

"I remember you mentioned this to me before. So, are you finally going to go and solve this campus ghost story? I didn't expect you to come back at just the right time."

"If you want to solve the campus ghost stories, take me with you. I'll go with you, since we're just killing time anyway."

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha, who was behind him, immediately tensed up.

Campus ghost stories, could there really be ghosts and monsters?
