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

Chapter 1077, is that right? Why are you telling me this?

...These three guys are as annoying as ever.

Conan watched the three walk away and thought to himself.

He said that not only because the three of them had just scared Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, but also because the three of them didn't forget to make a comment before leaving, saying that Conan looked like a miniature version of Shinichi Kudo.

Then he said that Conan shouldn't grow up to be a clueless idiot who can only deduce things, like Shinichi Kudo.

Ran Mouri, who had just come to her senses, was pondering the words of the three classmates who had just walked away.

She also turned her gaze to Conan, who was wearing a suit.

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.

It does indeed look like a miniature version of Shinichi...

Seeing that Ran Mouri seemed to have something else on her mind, Conan was startled and quickly pushed her into the school building, speaking urgently in a low voice.

"Alright, alright, Sister Xiaolan, let's go investigate the school ghost stories! I can't wait!"

"Change your shoes! Change your shoes!"

Ran Mouri, who was being pushed along, exclaimed repeatedly.

"School rules state that you can't wear shoes into the teaching building!"

After changing into trial shoes and slippers, the group continued walking inside.

They plan to solve the three campus ghost stories mentioned in the book, one by one, from beginning to end. So the first thing to do is to look at the locations where the three campus ghost stories took place in order.

The first place we need to go is the Teitan High School's school warehouse.

The corresponding ghost story is the sound of crying inside the school warehouse.

On the way to the campus warehouse, Chen En quietly pulled his arm and whispered in Suzuki Sonoko's ear, who was almost leaning against him, asking a question that seemed rather troubled.

"Sonoko, there's something I want to ask you."

"It's about the girl group..."

He initially didn't really remember what this girl band was all about.

Then, after driving for a while, he suddenly realized that Suzuki Sonoko had indeed mentioned to him that she wanted to form a girl band, and the lineup was the same as that that Hon Azusa had mentioned.

Since Sonoko Suzuki didn't know anyone who played bass, Sera Masumi joined the band on her own.

Around chapters 549 and 566.

Because it happened 500 chapters ago, Chen En didn't remember it very clearly until Ben Zi mentioned it, and after a while, he remembered it.

Although he and Sonoko Suzuki were in a romantic relationship.

However, Chen En had to admit that Suzuki Sonoko was indeed only enthusiastic for a short time most of the time.

Logically speaking, if the other person had the idea of ​​forming a girl group, it should only last for a few days, and then they would lose interest in forming a girl group and go find new hobbies.

But he didn't expect that Sonoko Suzuki wasn't just having a passing fancy this time; she genuinely wanted to form a band.

He's been preparing for this all along, which explains why Sonoko Suzuki, even when she has free time, doesn't ask him out sometimes. Now that I think about it, she must have been practicing guitar at home.

Chen En said with a troubled expression.

"I think I'm probably not up to the task of being the lead singer, so please allow me to retire and return to my hometown!"

These words stunned Sonoko Suzuki.

In her mind, Chen En was actually the kind of all-rounder who could do everything, just like Batman in the comics, someone who should be able to do everything...

However, this does not mean that Sonoko Suzuki intends to make Chen Enlai the lead singer of the girls' band.

She actually planned to have Sera Masumi as the lead vocalist, since Sera Masumi's presence as a bassist wasn't very strong, and being the lead vocalist would make up for that.

(In TV episodes 891-892, Sonoko Suzuki is paired with Ritsu Tainaka, Ran Mouri with Akiyama, and Azusa Moto with Azusa Nakano. Therefore, Masumi Sera can only be paired with Yui Hirasawa, who is the last member. Hence, this design.)

"How could we possibly let you be the lead singer?"

"Didn't I tell you back then? You can be the mascot and also be a backup. Anyway, you can do everything, and you should be good at musical instruments too."

Sonoko Suzuki said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen En breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, it's good that I'm not the lead singer.

Huh? Wait, the mascot? Me?

A look of confusion appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He never imagined in his life that Batman could be a mascot. Did they really think he was a Lego Batman?

At this point, Sonoko Suzuki seemed to become interested and took out her phone.

She moved her fingers slightly across the phone's keypad and brought up a photo in her album. It was a mascot costume of Chen En Enterprises that Suzuki Sonoko had prepared in advance.

"See? Isn't it cute?"

Sonoko Suzuki said with a grin.

Chen En, on the other hand, turned her attention to the mascot costume.

His eyes held a hint of doubt, because he had no idea that Chen En Enterprises actually had a mascot, which looked quite like the design of Noah's Ark.

Chen En's eyes held a hint of rejection, but he didn't dare to say it aloud.

This is where the "breaking down the house and removing the windows" theory comes into play.

If Chen En had been asked to be the mascot of the girl band from the beginning, he would definitely have refused. But if he had been asked to be the lead singer of the girl band and refused, then he would have been asked to be the mascot.

Chen En will then consider whether or not he should become the mascot.

However, Chen En tentatively said something at this point.

"Sonoko, did you know? According to the design, the company mascot should be a girl."

Sonoko Suzuki blinked and asked in confusion.

"...Really? Why are you telling me this?"

Chen En, who was implying defeat, could only sigh and say.

"It's nothing, I just wanted you to know."

After a brief conversation, the group arrived at the school warehouse.

The warehouse door wasn't locked; it was simply closed.

It seems that the faculty and staff at Teitan High School have a lot of confidence in their students.

Of course, it could also just be to make it convenient for club members who stay at school after school to access the props inside, and perhaps it will be locked up after all the club members leave.

But that happened later.

Heiji Hattori and Conan walked straight into the warehouse as if no one else was there.

The famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai examined the scene but found nothing unusual, except for the desk that did indeed have the name of the deceased, Hideaki Hosaka, engraved on it.

"...Strange, there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious about it."

"Judging from the dust on this desk, it must have been here for a while and hasn't been moved by anyone else. So it wasn't put here recently, right?"

Heiji Hattori stroked his chin, somewhat surprised, while Conan beside him nodded in agreement.

The desks weren't recently placed there, but the school ghost stories only recently appeared. This either means the creator of the school ghost stories didn't actually put the desks in there, or...

"I said, why are people from other schools allowed into the warehouse?"

An impolite female voice rang out from outside the warehouse.

Chapter 1078 The mystery was quickly revealed?

At this very moment, the person appearing outside the school warehouse was an acquaintance of Ran Mouri.

The person was wearing the Teitan High School girls' uniform, had short hair that reached his ears, was tall, and had a slightly heroic air about him. Judging from his physique, he was clearly a trained fighter with considerable martial arts skills.

Her name is Kazumi Tsukamoto.

A third-year student at Teitan High School and former captain of the karate club.

She can be considered one of Ran Mouri's seniors and mentors. If it weren't for Kazumi Tsukamoto being close to graduating and preparing for university entrance exams, Ran Mouri might not have become the captain of the karate club.

Even now, Kazumi Tsukamoto occasionally visits the karate club to teach Ran Mouri a few karate tricks.

Therefore, Ran Mouri also has great respect for her senior, Kazumi Tsukamoto.

At that moment, seeing Tsukamoto Kazumi appear at the entrance of the school warehouse, he instinctively wanted to defend Hattori Heiji and Chen En, but then he realized that Tsukamoto Kazumi didn't think there was anything wrong with serving Heiji, and was only talking to Toyama Kazuha and Chen En.

"It's best if people from other schools don't enter the campus, otherwise if there's a theft, the police will contact you first to confirm the situation... And why did you come to the warehouse? Are you here to investigate the truth behind the campus ghost stories?"

Tsukamoto Kazumi's opening remarks immediately made Hattori Heiji and Conan realize something.

It seems that during this period, it wasn't just a group of people who found the school ghost stories quite strange and came to investigate. Otherwise, Tsukamoto Kazumi wouldn't have said that right away, but would have thought that other people were acting suspiciously in the warehouse.

Hattori Heiji immediately asked.

"Hey, ma'am."

"It sounds like you know about the school ghost stories. Could you please explain them to us? If we can find out the truth about the school ghost stories, we won't have to stay here any longer."

The moment the famous detective from Kansai opened his mouth, Tsukamoto Kazumi was stunned.

Kazumi Iemoto looked up at Shinichi Kudo, who was standing in the darkness and whose skin looked unusually dark. She stared at Shinichi for a moment with some uncertainty before speaking.

"Shinichi Kudo, something's off about you."

"And haven't you gotten quite a tan? I'm only a year older than you, why are you calling me 'big sister'?"

Heiji Hattori, Conan: ?
