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

"In that case, could you please help us find the four books that Hideaki Hosaka mentioned in the school ghost stories were left on the floor? I'd like to see if there are any clues."

These words actually stumped Tsukamoto Kazumi.

She stroked her chin and pondered for a while before turning around and walking behind the various bookshelves in the library. After searching for a while, she finally found the four books mentioned in the campus ghost stories.

It seems that in order to get Hattori Heiji and the others to leave sooner, they also brought the list of books to borrow.

"These are the books. See if you can find any clues. If not, leave as soon as possible."

"I'm going to study in the library for a while today."

As she spoke, Tsukamoto Kazumi handed the book and the list to Hattori Heiji.

Heiji Hattori wasn't in a hurry. He simply placed the books on the table next to him, laying them out one by one. His gaze fell on the titles of the four books, while Conan braced himself against the table with both hands, trying his best to stand up.

The four books are "Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering", "Report on the Destruction of Tropical Rainforests", "The History of the University System", and "Analysis of Rock Destruction Sounds".

Upon seeing just these four books, a look of surprise appeared in Chen En's eyes.

He's even reading books on electrical engineering.

This kid is clearly a future global electrical talent, the kind that comes bundled with a product purchase. It's a pity he didn't have the chance to go to university and study electrical engineering.

Hattori Heiji muttered to himself.

"These books don't look like the kind of books that high school students would borrow."

Why does Hideaki Hosaka like to read books like this?

He glanced at the borrowing list.

It was discovered that only one of the four books showed signs of being borrowed by someone else, and that was several years before Hideaki Hosaka. It could be said that Hideaki Hosaka was the only one who read these four books.

However, considering that even Kazumi Tsukamoto, who is Hideaki Hosaka's classmate, had to think for a while before she could remember, it's clear that...

Since the person who pulled this prank would specifically look for these four books, they must have a deep understanding of Hideaki Hosaka. Therefore, considering this, all of Kazumi Tsukamoto's classmates should be suspects...

"Ugh, playing such a prank is really disgusting."

Sonoko Suzuki shook her head and whispered in Chen En's ear, "I can't help but ask."

"Arn, who do you think did this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En simply said...

"Shikokubu, right? The one who just greeted us."

His words immediately drew everyone's attention to Chen En.

So you found out?

Chapter 1080 Damn it, that's not how it's filmed in Detective Conan!

"Mr. Chen En, you mean... classmate Shigu?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ran Mouri's eyes, and she simply asked...

"How did you know that?"

"We just got here, and we don't think we've seen Seko do anything else. So how can we be so sure that Seko is the one who created the school ghost story?"

Does this even need to be said?

Chen En blinked, then said.

"Oh, I looked up people related to Hideaki Hosaka before I came."

"Then I discovered that Hideaki Hosaka and Kunishige Yotsuya had a pretty good relationship, and that when Kunishige Yotsuya was hospitalized, Hideaki Hosaka would often bring books to Kunishige Yotsuya's hospital and read them to him."

"The nurses at the hospital over there gave me the general titles of the four books that Tsukamoto Kazumi just took out."

Heiji Hattori, Conan: ?

What is this? Is it the power of money?

The two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted.

In a sense, a detective's talent is determined by their ability to gather information and the efficiency with which they use that information. Chen En's ability to obtain more information is indeed a manifestation of his talent.

However, it still makes one want to curse them as "dog rich man".

Conan muttered to himself.

Damn it, that's not how it's filmed in Detective Conan!

You should first find three suspects like a headless fly, then search around here for a while, and wait for the suspects to try to cover up their crimes and pull some crazy tricks before finding the flaws in their methods.

This allowed them to gather all three suspects in one place and then use deduction to reveal the true identity of the murderer.

You can't possibly investigate everything before the case even begins, and then just give out specific names as soon as you get to the school, can you? You're a guy without a detective's soul!

Heiji Hattori and Conan exchanged a glance.

The two detectives could see the burning flames in each other's eyes, and they could see that the other was not willing to admit defeat. They made a firm decision in their hearts.

This incident is definitely not as simple as it seems.

The two of them must work together to get to the bottom of this matter, and use real evidence and facts to slap Chen En in the face. They absolutely cannot let Chen En put on a show.

While one's own failure is certainly painful, the success of one's friend is even harder to accept!

I don't know why.

But it seems that Hattori Heiji has been rekindled.

Yuanshan and Ye nodded slightly, a hint of approval in their eyes.

Then this time, it was Ran Mouri who spoke up.

"I know that. I know where the puddles mentioned in the last campus ghost story are located."

"Since Tsukamoto-senpai still has things to do, shall I take you there?"

Since Ran Mouri has said so, others can certainly agree as well.

Heiji Hattori still suspected that Kazumi Tsukamoto might be behind it all.

But seeing that Conan had already defected to the enemy and the flame that had just been burning had been extinguished, he was speechless and had no choice but to follow the others, secretly complaining to himself.

Damn it, women only slow down the speed of reasoning!

Kudo, you have no detective spirit whatsoever!

Just as everyone was walking upstairs and arrived at the outdoor staircase of the art studio on the second floor...

Just then, a figure happened to pass by and bumped into the group. This person was none other than Tomoaki Shinide, the school doctor of Teitan High School. Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and other students from the same school greeted Tomoaki Shinide.

Shinichiro, carrying a briefcase, looked at the crowd with some confusion at the large entourage.

A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and then he asked.

"I'd like to ask, what are you doing here?"

"Ran, Sonoko, why did you bring people from outside the school onto campus? And Kudo, why are you so tanned? Do you have a secret to it?"

Hattori Heiji:?

That's enough. Why does everyone think I'm a tanned Shinichi Kudo?

Do I really look that much like Shinichi Kudo?

It's like you're saying that if I just put white powder all over my face, I can look exactly like Shinichi Kudo.

"We're here to investigate the ghost stories on campus."

Sonoko Suzuki explained with an embarrassed smile.

These words immediately caused a look of surprise to appear in Shinichiro's eyes.

Investigating school ghost stories?

"Is it about Hideaki Hosaka? If so, I'll help you investigate... To be honest, I'm also quite curious about this matter."

Shinichi pushed up his glasses, his expression turning serious.

"When Hideaki Hosaka had his accident, I was the first school doctor to arrive at the scene."

"I know that Hosaka-san is a kind and good classmate. Even if such a person has passed away, it is impossible for him to become a prankster or a ghost seeking revenge. Such a prank would be too malicious."

"I'm going to find this person to make sure Hosaka-san's reputation isn't damaged."

These words greatly shocked Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri.

Unexpectedly, in the case of Hideaki Hosaka's death mentioned in the school ghost stories, Tomoaki Araide, the school doctor of Teitan High School whom they had been in contact with every day, was actually at the scene, and was the first school doctor to arrive at the scene.

Just as Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki were about to ask something else...

The door to the art studio was suddenly flung open.

A person, still wearing an apron and carrying a paintbrush, walked out aggressively and shouted at the crowd.

"What's all the noise about?"

"Why are you still at school at this hour? Shouldn't you have gone home by now? You'd better get out of here and stop disturbing my training!"

Behind that person was an easel.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person is probably preparing for the upcoming high school art competition.

But before anyone could speak, the man seemed to realize something and his voice rang in shock.

"Wait a minute, were you just talking about Hideaki Hosaka?"

"Damn it... Could it be that Hideaki Hosaka's ghost is really haunting me? Ugh, this is terrifying... Wait, you guys get out of here right now, don't interfere with my training, and don't bring up anything about Hideaki Hosaka!"

This art student's left brain is battling against his right brain.

After shouting and yelling for a while, he returned to the art room and closed the door.

The way everyone looked at him left them speechless.

Could this person have some kind of mental health issue?
