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

Only Kogoro Mouri was carrying both his own and Ran Mouri's luggage at the same time, which made him seem quite stressed.

He rejected Ran Mouri's well-intentioned advice and simply said through gritted teeth.

"You wretched brat, don't look down on us adults."

"If I hadn't been out of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for so many years and my physical condition hadn't declined so much, I could carry ten bags like these at once! No problem at all!"

Hattori Heiji raised an eyebrow.

You're talking as if you had a great record at the police academy and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Judging from your confused state, you don't look like an elite police officer at all.

He didn't argue with Kogoro Mouri about whether Kogoro was considered an elite officer when he was in the Metropolitan Police Department. With the typical Kansai pace of being in a hurry, he pulled Kogoro Mouri and the others into a taxi and headed to the pre-booked hotel.

The reason is simple: time is running out.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Hattori Heiji told the others to put their luggage in their pre-booked rooms and then set off to watch the baseball game.

He said hurriedly.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the Koshien final."

"Moreover, this game between Daikin High School and Gangnan High School is a super popular match. It would be terrible if we missed the chance to watch it because we arrived too late."

Even if you say that, isn't it true that you can enter Koshien Stadium anytime after buying a ticket?

Chen En raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything more.

It's simply that Heiji Hattori is very interested in baseball and doesn't want to miss anything about the game, which is why he's speaking in such a hurry.

However, after putting his luggage in the room, Kogoro Mouri quietly came out with a bag and called for them to leave.

Knowing this only made Hattori Heiji's eyes show a hint of doubt.

What's in Kogoro Mouri's bag?

Not only Heiji Hattori was puzzled, but everyone else was too.

Ran Mouri whispered in Kogoro Mouri's ear.

"Dad, what exactly did you put in your bag?"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. Just know that it's my secret weapon."

"Didn't we say we were going to watch a baseball game? Let's hurry up and go."

"It would be such a shame to miss a baseball game like this."

Hattori Heiji, who was about to ask further questions, was silenced by these words.

Hattori Heiji:?

You foolish detective, how dare you use my magic against me!

Although Hattori Heiji was inwardly complaining, he didn't say much, only saying...

"Let's go then, the taxi is already downstairs."

Without saying much, everyone immediately got into the car and set off.

On the bus, Kogoro Mouri looked at the Koshien Stadium, which was faintly visible in the distance, and asked with some curiosity.

"Why is this place called Koshien, and not Hyogo Stadium or Kansai Stadium?"

"This naming style is not in line with the style of people from Kansai at all."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji twitched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly.

"Of course, it's because the day this stadium was built was the day when the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches came to Jia and Zi respectively, so it was named Koshien in commemoration... Although it's an old stadium, it can still accommodate 53,000 spectators."

"Don't underestimate this stadium."

Chapter 1135 The generic face is actually me?!

At this moment, many players inside Koshien Stadium have begun taking their oaths under guidance.

Hattori Heiji, who had already led Chen En and the others to their seats, then began explaining the situation of the baseball players, speaking with a touch of emotion.

"Koshien is a baseball stadium that thousands of high schools across the country aspire to play at.

"With thousands of teams and 490,000 players, only these 49 baseball teams have been selected. It's a selection of the best of the best, and much more entertaining than any Takarazuka show."

Upon noticing that Hattori Heiji still hadn't forgotten to deliver the finishing blow, Toyama Kazuha immediately turned her head and stared at Hattori Heiji with disapproving eyes.

After sensing the less-than-friendly look from his childhood friend, Hattori Heiji immediately scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

"Haha, just kidding."

"Don't take it so seriously, Kazuha. After all, Koshien is a boy's dream, so it's only natural that boys prefer Koshien, right, Uncle?"

Heiji Hattori's words went unanswered, so he turned his head with some confusion to look at Kogoro Mouri sitting next to him.

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri had already taken out his ultimate weapon from his satchel.

Yes, it was a black telescope.

He has now raised his binoculars, seemingly looking at something through them, but judging from the players below who are still taking their oaths, it doesn't seem like he's watching what's happening inside the stadium.

Chen En visually estimated the direction the two telescope tubes were pointing.

The next moment, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Because Kogoro Mouri was clearly using binoculars to watch the cheerleading girls cheering for their respective teams on the opposite high ground platform, the reason he didn't choose to go directly to Takarazuka but instead wanted to hold a deduction competition was probably because of this.

Ran Mouri also noticed something amiss and immediately glared at her father with an unfriendly look.

She was about to ask Kogoro Mouri what he was looking at when she saw him casually put down the binoculars and then say something with an air of self-righteousness.

"Oh dear, this location is really terrible."

"It's impossible to see the players on the field from this far away, so it's reasonable for me to bring binoculars, right? But then again, if you're going to invite us to watch the game, why choose such a remote location?"

Kogoro Mouri shamelessly concealed his actions before turning the tables and retaliating against them.

However, when asked, Hattori Heiji simply shrugged and turned to the other side to speak.

"I didn't buy the Koshien tickets; they were a gift from a friend of mine."

Did a friend give it to you?

A hint of doubt appeared in Kogoro Mouri's eyes.

He didn't know much about Hattori Heiji, and he didn't know what kind of friends Hattori Heiji had in the Kansai region that were close enough to give him Koshien tickets.

But his doubts were soon answered, because the man had already entered the venue, smiling apologetically to the other audience members who were blocked, and slowly moved towards them.

Judging from his appearance alone, he seems to be someone of similar stature to Inspector Chiba.

Of course, this refers to physical condition and quality.

Judging by her demeanor alone, she should be much more capable than Officer Chiba.

"Officer Otaki, you've arrived?"

Hattori Heiji greeted him warmly.

As he spoke, he also introduced the police officer's identity to Kogoro Mouri and the others.

"This is Officer Goro Otaki from the Osaka Police Headquarters."

"He is Uncle Toyama's right-hand man. The tickets for this trip were bought by Officer Otaki through a friend. He heard that I was bringing a friend along, so he bought me a few extra tickets."

Chen En was quite familiar with this name.

There aren't many officers in the Osaka Police Headquarters whose names you can recall, but Goro Otaki is one of them.

However, it seems that because Kogoro Mouri and Conan have never had the chance to go to Osaka, Goro Otaki has never met Kogoro Mouri and the others, so the two sides are still strangers.

Goro Otaki looked at Kogoro Mouri with some excitement and exclaimed in admiration.

"I've heard of you. You must be Kogoro Mouri, the so-called Sleeping Detective."

"According to media reports, you should be considered the most outstanding and famous detective in all of Japan. I never expected that the friend Heiji mentioned would be you. It's quite an honor for me."

I was originally going to ask him a couple of questions about why Goro Otaki bought the ticket to such a remote place.

Upon hearing Goro Otaki's words, Kogoro Mouri immediately scratched the back of his head and burst into laughter.

"Wow, I didn't realize I'd become so famous. Even the police in Kansai know me?"

He immediately forgot about the ticket.

However, his laughter attracted the attention of other spectators around him.

Kogoro Mouri immediately became the target of everyone's criticism.

His laughter stopped abruptly, and he hurriedly apologized to the spectators around him with a forced smile. His embarrassed appearance made Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji, who were watching from the side, chuckle.

Ran Mouri looked at Kogoro Mouri with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

There's no way around it, this guy is a real father figure.

However, she was already used to Kogoro Mouri's dramatic and easily startled behavior, so she simply accompanied him in apologizing to the spectators.

After Goro Otaki took his seat, the Koshien baseball game officially began.

Although Kogoro Mouri couldn't suppress his curiosity later, he asked Goro Otaki why he wasn't at work at this time but instead came to watch a ball game.

But in the end, he received the reply that Goro Ohtaki had saved up all his vacation days and had watched the Koshien baseball game for three consecutive days.

The two baseball players who look remarkably like Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori are already showing their prowess on the field at this very moment.

Looking at the scene before her, Sonoko Suzuki felt a strange sense of being pulled out of the story.

I had originally planned to explain to Chen En the strength of the baseball game rules and related information that I had investigated yesterday, but now I don't know where to start.

Instead, Chen En pointed to the row of girls selling water at the sports field ahead and said with a strange expression.

"Sonoko, don't you think that girl who sells water looks exactly like you?"
