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

Chen En originally planned to transport the bat plane to the inside of the bat cave at night.

If needed later, simply activate the Batplane.

However, for now, it seems that keeping the Batplanes inside the Batcave is not enough, and he plans to deploy them inside the Suzuki Foundation base in the Kansai region.

In this way, the stealth and speed of the Batplane can be utilized.

Chen En can move quickly between the Kansai and Kanto regions, ensuring that even if he leaves Tokyo, he can return to Tokyo as quickly as possible if anything happens within the city.

Even so, Chen En still had some concerns about the current situation.

He couldn't understand why the mastermind would choose such a critical juncture to carry out such a terrorist attack.

Within Tokyo, it's widely accepted that Batman has a direct connection to the Suzuki Foundation, so it's certain that someone within the Suzuki Foundation has been bribed or repeatedly investigated.

The mastermind behind it all can directly alter a person's memories or cognition.

There's no reason he wouldn't know that Sonoko Suzuki and he are about to begin their trip from the Kansai region to the Kyoto region tomorrow, although he certainly wouldn't record his whereabouts at the Suzuki Foundation headquarters.

But Sonoko Suzuki is different.

Because Sonoko Suzuki is accompanied by security personnel, her trips outside of Tokyo are recorded and planned by the security department of the Suzuki Foundation headquarters, so her travel plans can be known in advance.

If the mastermind really knew about this, why would they act at this particular time?

Did he not want Sonoko Suzuki to leave Tokyo? Did he want to keep her in Tokyo by staging such a terrorist attack? Or was it for some other purpose or additional benefit?

However, Chen En could not see any way that anyone could benefit from such a terrorist attack.

Moreover, given Sonoko Suzuki's consistent style of doing things, the special events that occurred in Tokyo would not be a factor that would make her stay in Tokyo and abandon her travel plans.

Furthermore, if they didn't want Sonoko Suzuki to leave Tokyo, wouldn't it have been better to directly plan an attack on the Suzuki Foundation?

Regardless of whether Sonoko Suzuki wants to leave Tokyo or not, if the Suzuki Foundation is attacked, Sonoko will not be able to leave Tokyo and will only be able to receive protection in a place with extremely high security.

After all, even now, she is still the sole heir to the Suzuki Group.

What if we skip this factor and start thinking about it?

If the real culprit did this not to keep Sonoko Suzuki in Tokyo or to create any additional benefits, but for some other purpose unrelated to Sonoko Suzuki?

If we think about it from this perspective, perhaps there is only one other factor.

Chen En took a sip of coffee and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair.

"……I."

He said in a low voice.

The real culprit behind the scenes didn't want Sonoko Suzuki to stay; he wanted Batman to stay.

Based on Batman's past actions, he has protected Sonoko Suzuki on numerous occasions, so it's highly likely that Batman will accompany her when she leaves Tokyo.

However, if any serious incidents occur in Tokyo during this period, Batman will definitely remain in Tokyo.

Because there's no guarantee that something unexpected will happen to Sonoko Suzuki, but something unexpected has already happened in Tokyo. Between the possibility and the fact that something has already happened, Batman would undoubtedly choose the latter.

What were the motives behind this? Why would someone want to keep Batman in Tokyo?

Is this a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain and find an opportunity to strike at Sonoko Suzuki?

Based on past patterns, Sonoko Suzuki would not abandon her travel plans despite special events in Tokyo, leading to the conclusion that Sonoko Suzuki would leave Tokyo as usual, while Batman would remain in Tokyo.

Regardless of the possibility, there are only two possible solutions at present.

Either Sonoko Suzuki and he would leave Tokyo as usual to begin their Kansai trip, or Sonoko Suzuki would abandon her previous travel plans and both of them would stay in Tokyo.

Chen En subconsciously chose the first option, so he asked Noah's Ark to help him buy tickets.

Because he was very clear about one thing.

Batman's identity is not easy to find within Beika Town, but it's not too difficult either.

After all, Batman has a close relationship with the Suzuki Group, and he has considerable assets; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to repeatedly use such expensive vehicles to fight crime.

Under this premise, Chen En is the person who best fits this condition.

It has close ties with the Suzuki Group and possesses emerging electronic technologies.

She once saved Sonoko Suzuki from a sniper rifle attack at the Beika City Hall, demonstrating her extraordinary physical abilities. She has also cooperated with Kogoro Mouri and others to solve cases on multiple occasions, possessing a high level of deductive reasoning skills.

If he and Sonoko Suzuki proceed with their Kansai trip as planned.

Then he can use the Batplane to return to Tokyo and strike hard against those who try to harm him, thus separating Chen En from his two identities as Batman.

However, if Chen En abandons the original plan for the sake of stability and stays in Tokyo with Suzuki Sonoko.

This would further increase the suspicion that he is Batman, potentially leading some unscrupulous criminal or intelligence organizations to directly test his true identity.

After all, Beika Town has no shortage of eccentric people with abnormal thought processes.

"...Hopefully the rest of the journey will be a little smoother."

Chen En took another sip of coffee and sighed.

"Does this mean I really have no holidays at all?"

Chapter 1125 Why the Robin Family Backs Batman Every Day

"...Really?"

Having completely finished watching today's football league match, Conan and Ai Haibara have returned to Chen En Manor.

Just as we agreed yesterday.

Because Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, Chen En, Heiji, and Kazuha are going to Hyogo Prefecture tomorrow to watch the Koshien baseball final, they asked Conan to stay at Chen En's manor for a few days and have the butler take care of him.

To avoid the hassle of picking him up and dropping him off tomorrow morning, Conan was brought over tonight after watching the evening movie.

At this moment, Conan was standing inside the Bat Cave, and asked in surprise.

"I thought you would definitely find an excuse to stay in Tokyo tomorrow."

"After all, Tokyo has just run into trouble, and nobody knows what other important figures will rise up next. Someone like you who can't ignore Tokyo's future certainly won't give up."

"But you can go and have fun without worry, I'll take care of things in Tokyo."

"The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student said seriously."

"Those country bumpkin criminals don't know that I, the valiant Shinichi Kudo, am protecting Tokyo."

"If they dare to come, we will make sure they suffer a crushing defeat!"

"Oh, and remember to transfer all access to the Bat Cave to me before you leave."

"It doesn't mean anything by it, it's just to make it easier for me to come back and get my equipment."

I think you want to replace me.

Heiji Hattori was right after all.

You despicable blue-themed character, you are indeed ambitious.

Chen En's face darkened.

He pondered for a moment whether he should suppress this despicable blue-themed character now, but after a little thought, he gave up on the idea.

It's not because they can't suppress Conan.

Rather, it means that if he's not in Tokyo during the day, Tokyo really can't function without Conan.

Although Hakuba Saguru is a great detective no less than Shinichi Kudo, the problem is that Hakuba Saguru can't appear near the crime scene at the same time as Conan. Many times, we only find out about something after the fact.

In terms of perfect attendance rate, my Ke is great, no need to say more.

As for how the case was triggered, that's none of your business.

All I can say is, don't try to stir up trouble for me.

"...I will transfer the authority over the Bat Cave to you at that time. You and Noah's Ark will help look after it while I am away from Tokyo."

"If you have any questions or problems about the mechanisms, you can ask Noah's Ark directly. There is a database I left there, and I believe there should be some information in it that can help you."

Chen En said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Haibara, who was standing next to him, felt that something was not quite right.

I've been in contact with Chen En for quite some time now.

Ai Haibara had a good grasp of Chen En's temperament, and naturally knew that given the crisis Chen En was facing in Tokyo, it was unlikely that he would leave the city.

Of course, one could say that he left Tokyo to be with his girlfriend.

However, given how shockingly low his emotional intelligence is, no one would believe that he left Tokyo at this crucial moment to accompany his girlfriend on a trip.

That's just fooling Sonoko Suzuki, who's obsessed with romance.

Now Conan is shamelessly talking about seizing power, and he probably doesn't really think Chen En will leave; he just thinks it's a charade.

Chen En has used this tactic more than once or twice; she knows of at least two other times, and this is the third time.

Ai Haibara briefly recalled.

The first time was when Chen En went to Hakodate City to rescue people as Batman. He had Kaito Kid's butler, Terai Kinosuke, impersonate him and travel normally.

The second time was when that guy who called himself the modern Moriarty fell from power. Chen En had Kudo Yukiko impersonate him and go to the Suzuki Foundation's Grand Exhibition Hall to assist in the defense.

This time, it's likely that the image will be exposed again.

On the surface, Chen En left Tokyo with Suzuki Sonoko for a trip from Kansai to Kyoto, but in reality...

No one can say for sure who Chen En, who is following Suzuki Sonoko, really is.

It's not impossible that it could be Kaito Kuroba, Kinosuke Akai, or even Yukiko Kudo.

In any case, Chen En couldn't possibly have the means to easily move back and forth between the Kansai region and Tokyo, two places that are so far apart, right?

Even if the yellow light ring on Chen En's hand can indeed support his high-speed maneuvering.

Given this person's personality, it's unlikely they would use the yellow light ring, which could be a trump card in a pinch, as their daily mode of transportation.

Most likely, they will still choose to use a stand-in.
