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

Chapter 14 Meeting at the usual place? Where is the usual place?
Dongdu Bank remained as calm as ever.

At least, that seems to be the case in Chen En's invincible bat-like eyes.

He could make that judgment with just a glance inside.

This security mission should be triggered at the point in time where it "might happen," meaning the real criminals haven't yet committed their crimes.

This actually gave him some time to observe.

Chen En observed the interior of Dongdu Bank, then casually opened the door, preparing to go inside.

Then, the gate remained completely still.

Chen En: ?
A college student sitting against the wall, reading Weekly Shonen Sunday, looked up.

He stared at Chen En for a moment with that clear yet foolish gaze.

Then, he made a pushing motion.

"Cough cough..."

Chen En coughed twice and awkwardly pushed open the door to enter.

It was mainly because it was the first time I'd encountered a security incident that hadn't yet occurred, so I was a little nervous.

He glanced at the people inside the Dongdu Bank.

There were clearly not many customers at the bank today; including him, there were only five or six people.

There were actually seven or eight bank tellers.

Seeing this, Chen En sat down with the college student, took a sip of his coffee, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He gave him a disapproving look.

There are more bank tellers than customers.

Based on his experience watching so many episodes of Detective Conan, it's highly likely there's a mole among the bank tellers, who's going to coordinate with the bank robbers from the inside or something...

This has become a model opera; he's almost sick of seeing it.

"Dude, what brand of coffee are you drinking?"

The college student next to him twitched his nostrils and turned his head curiously to ask.

Hearing this, Chen En's lips curled up, he took another sip, and then replied.
"Of course it's Bat Coffee. Batman personally brewed it for me in the Batcave."

"So, aren't you envious?"

He's the Batman handpicked by the system. He makes his own coffee, so how can it not be Batman making it for him?

The college student next to him was stunned by this unexpected answer.

Dude, does Batman drink coffee?

Which Batman are you talking about?
"Wait, wait a minute, Xiaolan...you run so fast..."

Sonoko Suzuki's voice rang out at the entrance of the Toto Bank.

Chen En looked up at the doorway in surprise.

At that very moment, one could see Ran Mouri, carrying this bag yet walking briskly and calmly, pulling her exhausted and panting best friend along as they ran towards them.

Huh? Why are you all running so fast? I'm doing a quest, are you doing a quest too?

Don't think that just because you're an important supporting character in an anime, you can roam around Beika Town with your immortality!

"Hey, it's a bat... Mr. Chen En!"

Ran Mouri spotted Chen En sitting in his seat immediately.

It's not that she has such good eyesight.

Besides Chen En, no one else would bring a cup of coffee when they came to Dongdu Bank to do business.

Sonoko Suzuki, panting, looked up and saw Chen En's questioning gaze.

Her face immediately turned red.

She turned around and hid behind her best friend, adjusting her breathing before stepping out.

That way it won't look shameful.

As for what just happened... let's forget about it all when the sun comes up!

—But, it's a bit strange.

Sonoko Suzuki tilted her head and looked at Chen En, who was drinking coffee inside.

She and Xiaolan thought Chen En was running so fast because he had something urgent to do.

As a result, they are now obediently queuing up.

Is it because Chen En's moral standards are too high, or because his urgent matter is not urgent enough?

The second young lady of the Suzuki family is somewhat troubled.

However, Ran Mouri did not.

She happened to be in the area on business, and since her best friend was interested, it wouldn't hurt for her to act as a wingman. Although every time she tried to be Sonoko's wingman, it always ended up being the guy Sonoko liked who came over to chat her up, haha…

She grabbed the doorknob of the Dongdu Bank's main entrance, preparing to push the door open and enter.

At the same time, a field staff member from the Dongdu Bank staff area was carrying a bag, with his hand on the back door, preparing to push the door open and leave.

The two doors opened in opposite directions almost simultaneously.

The moment Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki entered the lobby of Toto Bank.

The field staff member, about to head out, collapsed to the ground, enjoying a high-quality, peaceful sleep.

The bank robbers appeared.

The hooded bank robber rushed in the instant the field staff opened the back door.

Then, he used the butt of his gun to strike the unsuspecting field clerk, securing the first kill on the spot.

He even fired a shot directly at the ceiling!
boom!
Gunshots rang out inside the lobby of the Dongdu Bank.

Many employees and customers of Dongdu Bank were stunned and stood frozen in fear.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, who had just pushed open the door, froze on the spot.

In this situation, should they continue walking in, or go straight out?

They saw the bank robbers' guns pointing in their direction.

After visually assessing the distance between the two sides, Ran Mouri abandoned her plan to launch a direct attack.

Helplessly, they could only raise their hands together with Sonoko next to them, pretending not to resist.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the spot where Chen En had just been sitting.

But this left them stunned.

—The person who stood out so much with the white coffee cup is gone.

Ran Mouri wasn't the only one who noticed this.

Sonoko Suzuki, who had been following Chen En closely, also noticed this.

Moreover, she arrived much earlier than Ran Mouri, and while the robbers weren't paying attention, she glanced at the situation inside the East Capital Bank, but didn't see Chen En at all.

This immediately made her suspicious.

Where did Chen En, who calls himself Batman, go?

Even if they deserted out of fear, the lobby of the Dongdu Bank is so large that it's impossible for someone to hide out of thin air. As for whether they left through another door...

That's even more impossible.

The front door was where she and Xiaolan were, and the back door was where the bank robbers were.

Unless Chen En can open a skylight on the ground and fly out from the sky.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly leave without passing through their sight.

So, where did Chen En go?
Sonoko Suzuki was filled with doubt.

However, her doubts soon subsided.

Because Chen En appeared.

Moreover, his location was extremely dangerous, yet also unexpected.

------

"All of you, stand back!"

"You, it's you, give me the money!"

After exchanging glances with a bank employee, the bank robber immediately pointed the gun at him and shouted.

He tossed his backpack over and asked the employee to put money in it.

Moreover, they moved a little closer to the employee.

He was preparing to clear his mole of suspicion, and said in a low voice.

"Wait a minute, I'll ride my motorcycle to the usual spot. Remember to come find me."

Where is the usual place?

"Of course it's in... um?"

The bank robber thought it was one of his accomplices talking to him.

Until he noticed that his accomplice seemed to be sweating profusely and giving him meaningful glances.

"Why are not you talking?"

Chen En asked.
