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

Chapter 29 Damn it, where did you hide Nagato Mitsuki?!

"Don't be afraid, children, the key is here!"

The voice of the old butler, Musashi no Suke, came from behind the group.

The elderly man, in his seventies or eighties, was panting heavily as he walked towards the door, supported by Ran Mouri, holding the room key high, his face filled with excitement and joy.

Then, Musashi realized that no one was looking at him; they all seemed to be shocked by something.

Musashi no Suke: ?
What are you watching? You seem so engrossed! There's a murder scene in there!
Didn't Mr. Kogoro Mori just say that Hideomi-sama has been beating Chen En so badly he's almost killed him? And you guys didn't even react! How can you be so cold-hearted?
It’s really a declining world and people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!

Musashi shook his head.

Fine, if you won't save people, this old man will do it himself!

He pulled aside Kogoro Mouri's arm and was about to open the door when he stared at the dark bedroom and froze.

Musashi no Suke: ?
Even if we're not buddies, there should at least be a door to open it, right?
Where are we? This security door was just delivered from the Hakodate Police Headquarters this afternoon! Could it be that in the time it took him to grab the key, the thief passed by the crime scene and stole the door? Or did young master Hideomi run away with the door?

"Ah! Mr. Hideomi?"

Ran Mouri, standing nearby, noticed the crux of the matter.

She covered her mouth and gasped as she looked at 'Nagato Hideomi' lying on the ground, looking completely terrified.

Musashi was immediately startled, finally noticing that there was another person lying on the ground.

As the old butler who had watched Hideomi grow up, he knelt down with a heavy heart and helped 'Nagato Hideomi' up.

Damn it, how did Xiuchen turn out like this? He remembered that his Xiuchen's face wasn't swollen like a pig's head before.

"Grandpa Musashi, now is not the time to concern yourself with this!"

Hattori Heiji stepped forward, blocking Musashi no Suke behind him.

He looked up at the figure hidden in the shadows, walking step by step towards the outside.

—This person is very capable.

His mastery of atmosphere and control over his body were unprecedented among all the people he had ever met.

Every step the man in the darkness took felt like a hammer blow to his heart, inexplicably stirring a sense of unease within him, much like the appearance of Batman in the comics.

But... Batman?

"Who are you, this guy?"

Hattori Heiji asked loudly.

Conan, who was standing next to him, turned his head away and stopped looking, because he knew what he was about to hear.

"I'm batman!"

The figure, holding a coffee, walked out of the door completely.

The oppressive feeling vanished completely at this moment, making him seem like a completely different person.

This is the unique ability of our bat family to control its movements!

Hattori Heiji pointed at Chen En, dumbfounded.

He had thought that Chen En, who called himself Batman, could fight, but he never imagined that Chen En would actually be this good at fighting!

Even Nagato Hideomi, who was wielding a sharp knife, was killed by Chen En with his bare hands!
"You, you, you...you are Chen En?"

Kogoro Mouri, standing next to him, looked like he'd seen a ghost.

He had studied and practiced martial arts before. The reason why his first reaction was that Nagato Hideomi was beating Chen En was because he saw that Chen En's body seemed to have never been trained and did not look like that of a martial arts practitioner.

However, reality slapped him in the face!

Kogoro Mouri was still in surprise when he suddenly realized that the focus of the matter was not on Chen En beating up Nagato Hideomi.

He quickly asked,

"No, what exactly is going on?"

"Where's Nagato Mitsuaki? Wasn't he just calling for help in the room? Where is he?" Hearing this, Chen En casually pressed the light switch in the room.

The room, which had been in complete darkness, finally lit up.

The situation inside is clear at a glance.

There was a rope, and it was cracked, but there was no one.

There were no living people, and no dead people either.

This situation immediately caused Kogoro Mouri's CPU to operate at overload, causing it to overload on the spot.

Why is that?
Just now, Nagato Mitsuaki said that he hid in this room and was chased by Nagato Hideomi. Then Chen En climbed out of the window and beat Nagato Hideomi to a pulp. So there should be three people inside and outside the room, right?

Why are there only two people now?

Kogoro Mouri glanced around the room blankly.

Suddenly, it felt like a bolt of lightning flashed across my forehead.

He got it.

The sleeping detective turned to look at 'Nagato Hideomi' lying on the ground, still dazed. Suddenly, he became agitated, grabbed 'Nagato Hideomi' by the collar, and shouted, "..."
"Hey, you brat, where did you hide Mr. Nagato Mitsuaki?!"

"Now that Mr. Nagato Mitsuaki isn't in his room, you must have hidden him! Tell me, where is he? Being stabbed repeatedly with such a sharp knife can be fatal if not treated promptly!"

Nagato Hideomi stared wide-eyed at Kogoro Mouri.

Before he could say anything, Musashi no Suke, who was standing next to him, also realized what was happening.

Musashi no Suke just checked it.

Although 'Young Master Xiuchen's' injuries looked serious, he was actually not in any danger of dying. Chen En, who had attacked him, was quite sensible in this regard, and at most, he would only get a minor injury certificate from the hospital.

The key now is Nagato Mitsuaki, who has been stabbed multiple times and is on the verge of death.

Musashi no Naka de said with great sorrow,
"Yes, Master Xiuchen, where did you hide Master Guangming?"

"I watched you grow up, why would you do something so cruel? You've disappointed me and the master so much!"

Nagato Hideomi, who was being grabbed by the collar, stared wide-eyed.

Dude, you're grabbing me by the collar and asking me where you hid me?
Poet holds!

If he weren't in so much pain that he couldn't speak, he would have cursed out loud right now!
Nagato Hideomi stared wide-eyed, looking as if he felt wronged by others.

Kogoro Mouri and Musashi were utterly shocked.

I never imagined that Nagato Hideomi would be so shameless and so malicious, disregarding his own brother-in-law's life! He's utterly unworthy of being called a son!

"I...I have a feeling that Mr. Hideomi seems to want to say something...?"

Ran Mouri, who was standing next to her, blinked and whispered.

"Father, Butler Musashi, please put him down first. It's not too late to hear what Mr. Hideomi has to say..."

"I think that someone as kind as Mr. Hideomi wouldn't do something like killing Mr. Kousei..."

Behind them, three detectives gathered together.

Conan and Heiji Hattori flanked Chen En from the left and right.

The representative detectives from Kanto and Kansai, observing the situation, grew increasingly uneasy. They exchanged glances, then turned to Chen En, who stood in the middle, seemingly pulling out a cup of coffee from somewhere, and asked,

"...Could it be that Nagato Mitsuaki was the only one in the room from beginning to end, and that he staged the murder scene all by himself?"

Chen En: Ah, right, right, right

Conan, Heiji Hattori: ?

Why does it feel like this guy is teasing a child?

Damn it, Riddler and Batman get out of Gotham City!
