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

Am I a classmate?

Am I a friend of Hideaki Hosaka?

Am I even human?

At this moment, Shigu Guofan seemed to be wearing a clown mask.

He should have been angry, but at this moment he couldn't feel angry at all; he only felt relieved, and even a little wanted to cry.

In the end, Shigu Guofan simply said.

“At first, Hosaka often came to the hospital to see me, read to me, and bring me fruit.”

"Then one day he suddenly stopped coming. At the time, I thought Hosaka had something to do at school, so I didn't think much of it. But when I came back, I found that Hosaka was gone. After asking around, I found out that Hosaka had passed away."

"Then I happened to come to the sports storage room and found his desk there."

“I thought Hosaka was bullied and that’s why he died. I never imagined it all started with a prank… If I hadn’t been hospitalized, things might not have turned out this way.”

He finally said.

"I'm so sorry about this."

Chapter 1085 You've already brought out the novel, so what else is there to say?

In the worldview of Detective Conan, the most taboo thing is the riddle teller.

Countless riddle-solving individuals have turned good intentions into bad ones, or even minor incidents into major ones, leading to one heinous murder after another. It's possible that the ghost stories on campus here won't be dealt with now.

It might turn into a heinous murder someday.

However, Sonoko Suzuki hadn't thought that far ahead.

She had made a name for herself as the queen of deduction, and was already satisfied with solving the case. She took Chen En's hand and walked towards the exit of Teitan High School, unable to resist bragging to her best friend about her abilities.

"Xiao Lan, aren't my reasoning amazing?"

"I told you I'm the Queen of Deduction at Teitan High School."

"The drama club dared not invite me to be the screenwriter for their mystery play. Now I'll show them what it means to welcome the Queen out of retirement after three days!"

Ran Mouri, standing next to him, blinked and simply nodded.

She didn't intend to spoil Suzuki Sonoko's mood at this time.

Being happy is the most important thing.

As far as Ran Mouri knows, the drama club's mystery play is supposed to be put on during the school's anniversary celebration. They originally planned to invite Shinichi to be the playwright, but unfortunately, Shinichi has been traveling out of town and hasn't returned to Tokyo at all.

Therefore, the matter was put on hold.

It seems that some time ago, I was planning to ask her to help me invite my father to help with the scriptwriting.

Given Sonoko's recent performance, it seems likely that the drama club will turn to her for help, perhaps as the scriptwriter for their detective play...

"I didn't expect you to solve cases so quickly."

Hattori Heiji walked on Chen En's other side, muttering to himself.

How did you know you should have been looking outside at that specific time?

"It's as if you're the mastermind behind this case."

Upon hearing this, Chen En raised his head slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

He gestured for Hattori Heiji to look at a spot where there was nothing. Hattori Heiji immediately looked up, then narrowed his eyes and instantly noticed something amiss.

Oh my god, isn't this a mini surveillance camera?

So you're cheating, kid? I was wondering how you could possibly be so lucky as to see the crucial moment of the case and capture it to solve it.

Hattori Heiji was completely speechless.

Don't ask, I just have nothing to say.

Information gathering ability is also a manifestation of detective talent.

Chen En was able to install surveillance cameras at Teitan High School because of his resources. If he were wealthy and knew about it beforehand, he could have done the same thing...

This wasn't the first time these high school detectives had said something like that.

In order to gather evidence and solve a case, it is understandable to place hidden cameras or listening devices in various places in advance, and there is nothing to criticize.

After leaving Teitan High School.

The bodyguards from the Suzuki Foundation who were sent to protect Sonoko Suzuki also parked their cars at the school gate.

Although these bodyguards don't usually appear around Suzuki Sonoko, they do exist. They only brought their own cars over now because they saw that Chen En's group was a bit large and one car couldn't fit everyone.

"...In any case, this can be considered as resolving a paranormal incident."

"To celebrate, shall we go out for dinner? I happen to know an Italian pasta restaurant that I'd like to try. Anyone want to come with me? It's on me."

Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

These words immediately reminded Kazuha Toyama of what happened before he entered Teitan High School.

That's right, they were just busy solving a campus ghost story.

Sonoko Suzuki still hasn't told them whether they'll be visiting Takarazuka or Koshien Stadium during their trip to Osaka Prefecture...

"Um... okay, okay, shall we go to the noodle shop first?"

Ran Mouri noticed that Kazuha Toyama seemed to want to bring up the previous incident again.

So he quickly tried to dissuade them.

Then they saw Sonoko Suzuki sitting in the passenger seat of Chen En's car, followed by Heiji Hattori and Conan, who temporarily separated the two people who might be arguing.

She then took Yuanshan and Ye into the back car.

As soon as Sonoko Suzuki got into the car in front, she sensed something was wrong.

She turned her head to look at the back seat and realized that the little Robin she had seen at Chen En Manor was now reading a book in the back seat, as if he hadn't gotten out of the car since they arrived.

"Hey, little sister, you're here too?"

Sonoko Suzuki asked curiously.

What book are you reading?

Hearing this, Ai Haibara raised her head and said calmly.

"Detective Samonji Series Volume 44, The Devil's Planned Last Will and Testament, Part 2."

...What is this and what is this?

Sonoko Suzuki blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Although it sounded like Japanese, she couldn't quite understand it when put together.

Seriously, what's wrong with kids these days?

Do you all like reading detective novels? Don't you think they're a bit too brain-teasing?

Conan and Heiji Hattori also got on the bus one after the other in the back seat.

They had originally intended to discuss the school ghost stories further, but then their gazes simultaneously fell on the novel that Ai Haibara had already opened in her hand, and they exchanged a glance.

You've already brought out the novel, so what's there to say?

Heiji Hattori and Conan coincidentally took out the same volume of the novel they had bought.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, and Suzuki Sonoko is in the car, so I might as well read a book now, otherwise I might not be able to concentrate on reading later.

A major battle is likely to break out inside the pasta restaurant!

The two cars headed one after the other to the pasta restaurant that Hattori Heiji had mentioned.

The restaurant is called Italian Pasta, and it's located in Beika Town.

However, Ran Mouri's car only drove halfway before she remembered that Kogoro Mouri hadn't gotten in yet, so she turned back, picked up Kogoro Mouri from the Mouri Detective Agency, and then they went together.

Inside the Italian Pasta restaurant.

The waiter has already served all the food.

The group began to savor the flavor of the pasta that Hattori Heiji had described as quite remarkable, and after a short tasting, they could confirm that it truly lived up to its reputation.

However, after finishing our meal, it was time to get down to business.

Kazuha Toyama and Heiji Hattori exchanged glances.

The two of them turned to look at Sonoko Suzuki at the same time and said something.

"Ms. Suzuki, do you think it's better to go to Takarazuka or Koshien?"

Sonoko Suzuki paused for a moment, then said softly.

"We'll decide by voting...?"

Anyway, there are plenty of tickets available to see performances in Hyogo Prefecture.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kogoro Mouri and his group can also be invited to Hyogo Prefecture to watch the performance before returning, so the three members of the Mouri Detective Agency will also count as votes.

The final result was a draw.

Just like in the previous Teitan Miss pageant, it was just one crucial vote away.

And this vote was in Kogoro Mouri's hands.

He looked around and felt as if he were in a battlefield, as if he were recalling the feeling when Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki cornered him at the Mouri Detective Agency.

So he swallowed hard and said, "..."

"In that case, let's use reasoning to decide which side to go on?"

Chapter 1086 We, the two detectives, versus you, the two detectives
