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

"I was wondering how long it would be before Fusae returned, since she left Tokyo this time for business with the Union..."

He blurted out his innermost thoughts without thinking, then realized what he was saying and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, I was just thinking about Batman."

Mitsuhiko blinked and asked curiously.

"About Batman?"

"Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't seen many news reports about Batman doing good deeds in Tokyo lately. The only negative news we saw yesterday was about Batman seemingly driving a kind-hearted young man on a motorcycle to the point of attempting suicide by jumping into the sea..."

"Is that what Professor Agasa is thinking about?"

Dr. Agasa: ?

Batman drove a kind-hearted young man on a motorcycle to the point of committing suicide by jumping into the sea.

I can understand these words individually, but when they are put together, I don't recognize them at all.

How could this be? I had no idea about it at all.

Professor Agasa rubbed the back of his head and swallowed the words he was about to say.

It was only at this moment that he realized that he couldn't tell the members of the Junior Detective Club what he was planning to use to change the subject, otherwise it would definitely have some impact on Chen En.

Although the members of the Junior Detective League might be willing to keep Chen En's secret.

But given their careless nature, if they accidentally let something slip, it could be a big problem. Just to be on the safe side, it's best not to tell them.

Chen En's modified civilian vehicle quickly stopped outside the football league stadium.

He opened the car door and let Ai Haibara get out with her schoolbag on her back.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Junior Detective League waved enthusiastically to Ai Haibara and Chen En.

Chen En smiled and nodded slightly to the members of the Junior Detective League before looking at Professor Agasa and exchanging glances. After glancing at the crowd at the entrance of the Tokyo National Stadium and noticing that Conan was not there, he drove off to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

I saw Ai Haibara get off the bus with a big backpack on her back.

Genta scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked.

"Ai, what are you doing here with that big backpack?"

"It's not class time today, and you don't need such a big backpack if you're in class..."

Before she finished speaking, Ai Haibara put the bag she was carrying on the ground and opened it.

Inside were the support items for the Tokyo Spirits team.

She knew that the other members of the Junior Detective League would definitely come to watch the game, and that their favorite player was Akagi Hideo from the Tokyo Spirits.

Therefore, we prepared support items for the Tokyo Spirits team in advance.

Yesterday, Conan was supposed to go to the Bat Cave to get a Tokyo Spirits merchandise from Ai Haibara, but the explosion happened later, which made him late.

Therefore, Ai Haibara brought an extra copy of Conan's book, which she placed at the very bottom of her backpack.

The members of the Junior Detective Club happily accepted their respective support items.

Only Ayumi glanced curiously at the bottom of the backpack and noticed a tiny red corner beneath Conan's blue support item, but she didn't ask any further questions.

It might be a plastic bag used for storing snacks?

Ai Haibara noticed that the red Osaka BIG team's support item seemed to be peeking out a little, so she quickly covered her backpack.

All the members of the Junior Detective League except her are fans of the Tokyo Spirits team. If it is discovered that she is carrying support items for the Osaka Big team, they will be asked what kind of mentality Kanto people have to support Kansai teams.

She'll take it out and use it when Conan sits on the right and blocks the view of the other Junior Detectives.

But it was at this time...

Ai Haibara finally noticed that Conan was not part of the Detective Boys.

A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes as she asked.

"Where's Conan? Didn't he come along?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Junior Detective League looked at each other, then shook their heads in confusion.

Only Professor Agasa answered with a smile at this moment.

"Conan just called me and said he's taken a taxi and is on his way here."

...Shouldn't it be Kogoro Mouri who delivered it to him?

Or, Conan could have gone to Professor Agasa's house from the beginning, then come over in Professor Agasa's car with the Detective Boys. It would be too puzzling for him to take a taxi alone.

Ai Haibara blinked.

Conan was indeed supposed to ride in Kogoro Mouri's car to the Tokyo National Stadium.

However, while he was at the Mori Detective Agency, he subtly mentioned Tomofumi Motoura and also talked about how Kogoro Mori had led a group to block an ambulance a few years ago.

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately recalled what had happened.

After learning that the person the ambulance was going to save was a boy named Tomofumi Honura, she decided to go and meet him in person and apologize to him.

Heiji Hattori then hinted at Tomofumi Motoura's acute heart attack, saying that a two-minute delay could lead to his death, which immediately made Kogoro Mouri connect this incident with the previous bomb threat.

How could he possibly be in the mood to take Conan to the Tokyo National Stadium to watch a game?

He immediately hailed a taxi and let Conan take the ride himself.

Afterwards, Kogoro Mouri went with Heiji Hattori to visit Tomofumi Motoura's parents to find out the details. Kazuha Toyama and Ran Mouri also went along, but Conan was the only one who came to watch the game.

If it weren't for the fact that there might be some danger at the Tokyo National Stadium.

Otherwise, Conan might have abandoned the soccer league and joined Heiji Hattori in the investigation.

Just as Ai Haibara and the members of the Detective Boys were discussing the contents of the detective novel they had been reading earlier, Conan finally arrived at the scene late in a taxi.

He smiled and apologized to his fellow members of the Junior Detective Club as he entered the venue with them.

However, his mind was not entirely on the upcoming football match. Instead, he kept observing various parts of the Tokyo National Stadium, and did not forget to take out the monitoring equipment from his Robin belt.

With the help of the broadcast from Noah's Ark and the all-around surveillance cameras that Chen En installed overnight at the Tokyo National Stadium, they monitored the internal situation of the entire Tokyo International Stadium.

Even though the bomb behind the big screen at the Tokyo National Stadium has been defused, the possibility of other suspicious individuals planting bombs there cannot be ruled out, so he must be extra careful.

Chapter 1118 The Continuation of Dreams

Football Youth Club.

This place, specially prepared for teenagers who want to play soccer, has a few visitors, including Hattori Heiji and his friends, but they seem a little hesitant.

It's mainly about Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri never imagined that his unintentional mistake would lead to such a result.

However, after waiting for a while at the club entrance, he finally made up his mind, took the initiative to open the door of the youth soccer club, and led Hattori Heiji and his men inside.

At this very moment, the boys who should have been training at the football club are sitting in the lobby.

They appear to be watching a live football league match.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri and the others suddenly enter, they all turned to look at Kogoro Mouri with some confusion.

The commotion also caught the attention of the middle-aged man sitting at the very front.

He slowly turned his head to look at Kogoro Mouri, a look of surprise instantly appearing in his eyes.

Perhaps Kogoro Mouri was not familiar with this middle-aged man.

However, this middle-aged man was deeply impressed by Kogoro Mouri, for no other reason than that he was the father of the deceased Tomofumi Motoura, Keiichiro Motoura.

Keiichiro Motoura originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet and talk with Kogoro Mouri.

However, because Kogoro Mouri was busy with various things, he had no free time at all, so the plan to meet with Kogoro Mouri had to be postponed again and again.

But he never expected that Kogoro Mouri would one day take the initiative to visit him.

"...Detective Mori."

Keiichiro Motoura stood up and spoke with a complex mix of emotions.

"What brings you here to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri was about to explain the truth of what happened back then and apologize to Keiichiro Motoura when he suddenly noticed that the children seemed to be waiting for his answer as well.

He wasn't afraid that explaining his past mistakes to these children would damage his reputation.

It's simply because these kinds of things are not convenient to talk about in front of children.

Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, Kogoro Mouri finally spoke.

"Mr. Honpu, may I have a word with you in private?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Keiichiro Motoura's eyes, but he still nodded.

"Then come with me."

He let the other children continue watching the live broadcast of the football league, and led Kogoro Mouri and his group into the adjacent corridor. After closing the corridor door, Keiichiro Motoura finally asked.

"Detective Mori, now you can explain why you've come, right?"

Heiji Hattori leaned against the wall and turned his hat slightly.

Ran Mouri and Kazuha Toyama watched Kogoro Mouri's retreating figure with some worry.

At this moment, the nationally renowned detective bowed earnestly to Keiichiro Motoura and apologized, saying...

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect my mistake back then to lead to this result."

"I am deeply sorry for the trauma I have caused you and your family..."

Of course, before Kogoro Mouri could finish speaking, Keiichiro Honura interrupted.

"I know."

...You know that?

Kogoro Mouri looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
