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

"This president is really a failure."

“Every high-ranking member of the Toy Research Society wants him dead, and none of them have an alibi. They even had a meal together before, it’s like a joint hunt.”

A familiar voice sounded behind Ran Mouri.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Inspector Megure and Chen En chatting, presumably about the case. This immediately piqued Ran Mouri's interest.

Although Conan is indeed not like his peers, his reasoning ability is extraordinary.

However, he is still far inferior to his father. If Sonoko could bring Mr. Chen En to their side, then perhaps their great mission could be accomplished and the case could be solved quickly.

"Officer Takagi, are a few blocks missing from here?"

Conan looked down at the building blocks and suddenly said something.

"And why are these building blocks on the floor? I see all the other toys in the lab are on the table, just a little messy. Why are these building blocks on the floor?"

He had already noticed something was wrong with the building blocks and subtly reminded the others.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki immediately leaned closer.

She touched her chin, pretending to think, and after a while said somewhat blankly.

"...It looks like they were pushed to the ground after a fight."

"The murderer came in and fought with the president, then tied him up, pushed him to the ground, which is the white circle drawn on the ground, and then the toys fell to the ground during the fight, and so on."

You can certainly think that way, but the question is why only building blocks are falling?

Conan looked up at Sonoko Suzuki, somewhat speechless.

There are so many toys on this table, so why is it that the one that fell off, Weiwei, only has words on it, and those words are marked on each side according to the pronunciation of the Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana).

If used properly, these blocks alone can be used to spell out the killer's real name.

Although it's uncertain whether the deceased president actually thought that way, starting from this direction should be correct, but Sonoko doesn't seem to have thought about it at all.

"That's one thing, but it's not just that."

Hattori Heiji had already turned his hat right-side up and, looking at the situation on the table, said this.

"The things on this table are perhaps a little too tidy."

"It doesn't look like someone swept things off the table after a fight."

Originally, Heiji Hattori's opponent, Kazuha Toyama, was standing next to him, her eyes sparkling as she watched Heiji deduce. She only turned away when Heiji noticed her and turned his head to look at her, looking unconvinced.

She said in a low voice.

"Then tell me."

"If these weren't traces left after a fight, then why did the cube fall to the ground? And why did the ink bottle spill ink, causing it to drip along the edge of the table and form a puddle?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri, who was admiring the beautiful woman...toy, immediately turned around and said without hesitation.

"Isn't that simple?"

"Of course it's because President Gu had already accidentally knocked over the ink bottle before, moving the cube to the ground, and then got knocked unconscious and tied up while he was cleaning up!"

These words immediately drew nods of agreement from everyone.

Inspector Megure gave him a thumbs up.

"As expected of Brother Mori, you hit the nail on the head."

"I said smugly."

"Of course, I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri."

As the saying goes, "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation."

"Inspector Megure, if you still see me through the lens of my past when I was a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department, you're sorely mistaken. I'm no longer the reckless Kogoro Mouri I once was!"

Only Heiji Hattori and Conan exchanged a few smirks.

That's enough. Do you even think this makes sense?

Only Ai Haibara had put on white gloves at some point, rummaging through the blocks, then frowned slightly, noticing that a few of the children's building blocks with the Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana) engraved on them were missing.

Perhaps the deceased actually left a message about their death.

However, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers didn't notice anything amiss and even kept the death message as evidence. In that case, the forensic department needs to retrieve the evidence.

Chapter 1089 Can you and Conan be compared?

“In the past, every time someone died, a death notice would be left at the scene.”

"There should have been a death notice this time too, how could there not be?"

Sonoko Suzuki crouched down, her gaze falling on the building blocks on the ground.

She touched her chin and muttered to herself.

"This is the underlying logic..."

She wasn't curious that Ai Haibara had put on white gloves and was investigating the building blocks.

No matter what, he is Robin from Batman. Even if he looks like a child, he cannot be regarded as a real child at all... In this respect, isn't Conan also Robin?

A hint of surprise flashed in Sonoko Suzuki's eyes.

So, Conan isn't as innocent as he seems on the surface.

At several previous crime scenes, he pinpointed the key to the case in a single sentence, and then immediately started to play dumb and act cute in a voice after saying the key to the case. Is this a kind of disguise?

As she pondered, she subconsciously reached out to pick up the building blocks and examine them.

However, just as Sonoko Suzuki's hand subconsciously prepared to grab the corner of the building block and lift it up...

A hand had landed on her wrist without her noticing.

Although the resistance wasn't great, it was enough to bring Sonoko Suzuki back to her senses.

She looked up along the arm and, sure enough, Chen En was standing next to her.

Although theoretically they were on the opposing side and could very well be causing her trouble and preventing her from solving the case, she subconsciously felt that Chen En wouldn't do such a thing.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Sonoko Suzuki blinked and asked blankly.

Upon hearing this, Chen En squatted down, his gaze also falling on the building blocks, and then said.

"There's something wrong with these toy blocks."

"Generally speaking, normal toy manufacturers should add special protective covers to the corners of toys for children to play with, or smooth out the sharp edges, to ensure that children's skin will not be injured."

"But the edges and corners of these toy blocks are very sharp, and they can easily cut your skin if you're not careful."

“Ai has gloves for protection, so she'll be fine. But Sonoko, if you touch it with your bare hands, you might still cut yourself. I have some extra gloves here, so you can wear them first.”

As he spoke, he pulled a pair of white gloves from his pocket and handed them to Sonoko Suzuki.

This unexpected concern made Sonoko Suzuki blush slightly.

However, he still reached out and took the white gloves, put them on, and then focused his attention on the building blocks. He picked them up and examined them carefully, but couldn't find anything wrong with them no matter how many times he looked at them.

This momentarily dampened Sonoko Suzuki's spirits.

Although she calls herself the mystery queen of Teitan High School.

However, in the previous deductions about the school ghost stories at Teitan High School, Chen En assisted with many key points; she probably couldn't have done it on her own.

I feel like I'm getting a little too cocky right now...

Ai Haibara, who was standing next to Sonoko Suzuki, suddenly stood up, looked at Inspector Megure, and asked.

"Inspector Megure, the police must have taken a few toy blocks as evidence, right?"

"Were any photos taken during the forensic investigation? If so, could you please show them to us?"

These words startled Inspector Megure.

He blinked. Although he knew that Ai Haibara was a member of the Detective Boys, he didn't expect that she would also be involved in the reasoning of this case, but he didn't refuse.

The members of the Junior Detective Club have intervened in the case's deductions more than once or twice.

The elementary school student in the blue suit next to Hattori Heiji, who was still observing the situation on the table, was a repeat offender. Moreover, sometimes the members of the Junior Detective League could provide some unexpected clues to solve the case, so it wasn't impossible.

Inspector Megure turned around and called over officers from the forensic department.

They immediately handed the photos that had been taken to Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara's gaze fell on the photograph, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The photo clearly shows four toy cubes, one side of which has an ink stain. These are the characters 【お、も、ち、や】 from the Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana), which are presumably the death messages left by the deceased.

If used properly, these blocks should be able to spell out a person's name directly.

Even if you can't directly spell out a person's name, you can still spell out most of it. The messenger specifically had one side of these four squares marked with ink, which must have a deeper meaning for the deceased.

Ai Haibara's discovery drew the attention of everyone in the room.

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to peek over, he was stopped by Toyama Kazuha.

"No, no, Ai is on our side!"

Hattori Heiji was taken aback and muttered something.

"Huh? You're being prejudiced."

"You said that I and that girl with brown hair aren't a couple, so why did you just let that kid in the blue suit who was on my team go? He's a person, and I'm not?"

Upon hearing this, Toyama Kazuha was taken aback.

She subconsciously looked down at Conan, who had somehow moved closer to Ai Haibara to examine the contents of the photo. Her gaze flickered for a moment before she spoke somewhat indistinctly.

"This...that...anyway, you're different!"

"You're twice the age of Conan, can't you be treated like the same person?"

Hattori Heiji:?
