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

Mental health issues are problems too; they're illnesses that need treatment.

Chen En blinked, pulled out a cup of coffee from somewhere, and took a sip.

Then he heard the sound of Noah's Ark coming through his headphones.

"That person has started to move."

Oh, the monitoring system I set up is working.

Chapter 1081 Is it time for me, the Queen of Deduction, to shine?

As is well known, there are paranormal events and sightings of unidentified flying objects.

With the widespread use of various camera and surveillance systems, such occurrences have become increasingly rare. As a result, the supernatural events that are now common in campus ghost stories have instantly lost their mysterious veil in front of Chen En.

Chen En didn't say much to the others, but simply went to the window and took a sip of coffee.

He saw that it was raining outside the window, and there was an umbrella in the center of the campus square, as if someone was standing there to shelter from the rain.

This unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of others.

Shinichiro and the others also followed Chen En's gaze to the umbrella in the center of the square.

This umbrella was very familiar to everyone, because it belonged to the principal.

Sonoko Suzuki stroked her chin and said with some confusion.

"Oh, the principal is at it again."

"But why is the principal outside even in the rain? Has his addiction gotten worse?"

The reason why Sonoko Suzuki immediately thought of the principal of Teitan High School when she saw that umbrella and a person standing in the center of the square was because that principal was also an exceptional person.

His favorite thing to do on weekdays is to stand in the square and look at the decorations of Teitan High School when he has nothing to do.

The principal had always wanted to change the layout of Teitan High School, but because it was very expensive and he himself had a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he kept thinking about how to make changes that would satisfy everyone.

As a result, they hesitated for more than half a year and didn't touch a single tree or blade of grass.

He stands there every day at this time, rain or shine, focusing on a statue.

And the umbrella that the principal used gradually became known to everyone. In everyone's eyes, that umbrella was definitely the principal's umbrella, since it was the same style they saw every day.

"...It seems like we can't find anything out. Never mind, Ahn, let's go."

Sonoko Suzuki said somewhat listlessly.

Anyway, as long as it's confirmed that it's just a prank and not some kind of supernatural event, then Xiaolan, as the student on duty, won't have to worry about being scared by supernatural events when she comes to school early in the morning.

There's no need to investigate this matter any further. Why bother getting to the bottom of things?

However, Heiji Hattori felt something was amiss.

He wasn't a student at Teitan High School, so he naturally thought that it was crazy for someone to be standing in the middle of the square with an umbrella in such heavy rain. No normal person would do that; there must be something wrong with it.

Conan, who was standing next to him, already knew about the principal of Teitan High School, so he naturally wouldn't pay much attention to him.

He tugged at Hattori Heiji's sleeve, making him lean down, and then whispered in Hattori Heiji's ear about the principal of Teitan High School, causing Hattori Heiji's lips to twitch.

You damn principal, you're such a waste of my time.

However, at this moment, Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered what Chen En had said earlier in the library.

He glanced at the Teitan High School doctor's sign hanging on Shinichiro's clothes, and recalling that Seko Kunishiro had claimed to have sought help from the school doctor for treatment, he directly inquired about it.

Unexpectedly, Shinichi said with some confusion.

"I'm not the only school doctor at Teitan High School, so I'm not entirely sure about this either."

"But if you consider the time, all the school doctors should have left by now. Why would a student go to the school clinic for treatment at this time? Don't they know the opening hours of the school clinic?"

How could a senior high school student not know this?

Conan and Heiji Hattori exchanged a glance and immediately realized what was going on.

Chen En was right.

This ancient country clearly knows that there is no school doctor in the school clinic at this time, yet he still insists on going to the school clinic for treatment. He is obviously making a fuss and there is a flaw in his story!

While everyone else turned to talk, Chen En, holding his coffee, stared at the umbrella.

Sonoko Suzuki, who was standing next to Chen En, leaned against him and looked over with some confusion, but she couldn't see anything different about the umbrella. So she leaned close to Chen En's ear and wanted to whisper about Principal Shenren.

But then she saw Chen En raise his finger to her lips, nod slightly, and gesture for her to look out the window.

Sonoko Suzuki's face immediately turned red.

Following Chen En's directions, she subconsciously looked out the window at where the umbrella had been, only to find that the rain had stopped sometime earlier, and the umbrella was moving slowly toward the first-floor corridor.

Where the umbrella was originally was a school desk.

Although she couldn't see clearly whose desk it was from such a height, a thought inexplicably flashed through her mind.

This desk must be the one belonging to Hideaki Hosaka in the sports storage room!

The guy that Chen En and the other detectives dismissed as a human prank has started creating another campus ghost story, right under their noses!

Sonoko Suzuki noticed after watching for a while that the umbrella had been put away in the corridor.

Her face instantly turned red, not just because of shyness, but also because she had discovered a unique clue, which might allow her to solve a case for the first time while sober, as the queen of deduction!

"……wax."

Chen En took a sip of coffee and said directly.

These nonsensical words puzzled Sonoko Suzuki, who had just been happy. Then she saw Chen En slightly turn his head to look at the spot where the water had been in the stairwell, and Sonoko immediately realized what was going on.

So Chen En was referring to the method for creating the third ghost story?

So it's made of wax... In that case, we just need to go downstairs now and catch them red-handed to solve the case!

Without saying a word, Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Chen En's hand and ran downstairs.

This sudden scene surprised everyone. They subconsciously turned to look at where Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En had been standing, only to find that the umbrella had disappeared along with the rain.

Instead, a school desk was placed in the center of the square.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way?"

Heiji Hattori went to the window and looked at the desk with some surprise.

"How dare you create a campus ghost story at a time like this?"

He casually pulled Conan, who couldn't reach the curtains, up so that Conan could see them too. Conan also let out a small gasp. The next moment, the two famous detectives from Kanto and Kansai simultaneously took off running towards the stairwell.

Now is the perfect time to find out who is behind these campus ghost stories!

Shinichiro also realized what was happening and was about to follow. Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama, who were behind him, were about to follow him with a single click when they heard a notification sound from their phones.

The message that popped up was Chen En's message, which was written very simply.

That was to call Tsukamoto Kazumi to the art studio in the stairwell.

The truth will soon be revealed.

Chapter 1082 Returning Home in Wealth and Glory is Like Wearing Brocade in the Dark

Suzuki Sonoko and Chen En were the first to come downstairs, running down the stairwell to the corridor.

The person who was supposed to be standing in the corridor to put away the umbrella has disappeared.

This made Suzuki Sonoko a little discouraged, but then she saw Chen En pat her shoulder and gesture for her to look at the edge of the corridor, where there was a puddle of water, as if someone had shaken water off an umbrella.

This scene immediately boosted Sonoko Suzuki's confidence.

At that moment, Heiji Hattori and Conan rushed out of the stairwell one after another.

However, their positions were slightly off.

They headed straight for the desk in the center of the square, as if they had made up their minds.

Chen En glanced at the backs of the two famous detectives and shook his head.

He only spoke to Sonoko Suzuki.

"Sonoko, I just asked Ran and Kazuha to go find Tsukamoto Kazumi from the library to the art room. Let's go get Seko Kunishige from the school clinic too, and then we can solve the case together in the art room."

These words made Sonoko Suzuki a little nervous, and she said in a low voice.

"Arn, have you already solved this case?"

Hearing this, Chen En shook his head slightly and simply said...

"It wasn't me, it was you."

“I knew who did it from the beginning, so for me it was just a game of deduction. I didn’t need to win, but I think you might.”

"Since she's the Queen of Deduction, she naturally needs to be sober to make her deductions convincing, right?"

These words immediately excited Sonoko Suzuki.

This is true.

Although she is a queen of deduction, she knows that her reasoning ability is not actually that strong. The reasoning she did in the past to solve serious murder cases was all done while she was asleep.

Even after reflecting on it herself, she didn't know how she had deduced it.

Now that Chen En has found these unique clues for her, she should be able to solve the case on her own!

At this very moment, Heiji Hattori and Conan were gathered around the table in the center of the plaza, reflecting on their conversation.

"This table looks really like a table."

"It looks just like the one in the sports storage room. Look, there's even writing on it... Wait, it's Hideaki Hosaka's name engraved on it. This is the table from the sports storage room!"

"There was also a piece of paper with writing on it, saying that they wanted to take revenge on the person who committed the crime."
