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

Chapter 63 This Holy Sword of Physics is a bit off...
"Phantom Thief Kid? Me? Really?"

Chen En was rendered speechless by Sonoko Suzuki's sudden address.

He always tells the Riddler to get out of Gotham City, but he never expected that he would one day be mistaken for the Riddler himself.

Oh, it's a day when I'm mistaken for Kaito Kid.

Chen En sighed.

"Why would you think I'm Kaito Kid?"

"Are you looking at the cape or the magic trick? My cape is black, but Kaito Kid's cape is white, right?"

"Even if you say I'm a phantom thief, I'm the phantom thief Raven, not the phantom thief Kid."

—The Phantom Thief Crow?

Conan, who was standing nearby, was puzzled when he heard this unusual term.

When Ran Mouri mentioned the name Kaito Kid to him.

He specifically investigated information related to Phantom Thief Kid.

I did a quick search for other phantom thieves in the world, but it seems there isn't one codenamed Raven.

Who is the black-cloaked phantom thief Crow that Chen En just mentioned?

Conan's eyes held a hint of doubt.

However, before he could ask, Ran Mouri, who was standing next to him, had already squatted down and asked in a low voice,
"Conan, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't you go out with your friends from the Junior Detective Club?"

And they went out to play quite early.

Ran Mouri remembers that when she woke up, Conan was already gone.

If she hadn't remembered that Conan had mentioned going out to play last night, she would have thought that Conan had been kidnapped by someone... After all, it wasn't the first or second time that Conan had mysteriously disappeared.

"Ah, me? I..."

Conan chuckled awkwardly, pondering how to explain the whole story to Ran Mouri.

Just then, a voice came from backstage, helping Conan out of the predicament.

—After listening to the first half of the performance backstage, the members of the Junior Detective League came to meet up with Conan.

Ran Mouri, who was already surprised that Conan was alone in the Tokyo Budokan, was even more surprised.

Why are all the Junior Detective League kids inside the Tokyo Budokan?

These children probably don't have tickets to this concert, right?
How did they get in? If they sneaked in, there's no way they could have gotten to the backstage area, right?

Ran Mouri's expression of confusion was completely undisguised.

The members of the Junior Detective League then began chattering excitedly as they explained the whole story.

"Sister Xiaolan, our Junior Detective League has encountered a major crisis!"

"Yes, yes, both Takayama-neechan and Nagano-nii were kidnapped by robbers, and so was Conan!"

"In the end, thanks to Brother Chen En, Sister Gao Shan and the others were able to be rescued."

"That's why we were able to go to the Tokyo Budokan to listen to Takayama-neechan and Nagano-nii's concert!"

The Junior Detectives were chattering away about something incredible.

Upon hearing this explanation, Ran Mouri was immediately taken aback.

What? Something so dangerous happened to Conan?
Why was she completely unaware of this?

Ran Mouri immediately asked Conan for advice.

"Conan, is what they're saying true?"

Although I felt that this might make Ran Mouri worry and blame me.

However, Conan can no longer lie at this point.

He nodded with an awkward smile and said...

"That's how it is... If Brother Chen En hadn't come to save us in time, we would have been in real danger." This situation surprised Suzuki Sonoko.

She remembered that Kaito Kid had never been in the news for saving people... Could it be that Chen En really wasn't Kaito Kid, but just another person who was also good at magic and looked similar?

Immediately, Sonoko Suzuki's face turned visibly red.

If that's the case, then it would be so embarrassing to admit you're wrong!
Chen En didn't seem to care much about it.

He wasn't acting solely to solve the case; part of the reason was to obtain the mission rewards from the system.

Therefore, he doesn't care whether others thank him or not.

Whether he's grateful or not, he'll eventually have to make a quick buck by completing the task, so it doesn't really matter to him.

However, Chen En didn't care about this.

This does not mean that Ran Mouri is indifferent to this.

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri immediately expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you very much this time, Mr. Chen En."

"I must say, your detective skills are truly remarkable. You're always able to solve cases and uncover the truth behind them in an incredibly short time..."

If it weren't for the habit of constantly calling himself Batman.

With Chen En's abilities, it's only a matter of time before he's invited to perform on a TV show and becomes nationally famous like his father. However, calling himself Batman is another story... because that might be considered copyright infringement.

"I also want to thank Mr. Chen En. If Mr. Chen En hadn't helped this time, it would have been troublesome."

Conan's voice came through.

Ran Mouri looked at Conan in her arms with some surprise, astonished that Conan actually thanked her.

However, she immediately realized that it wasn't Conan who had spoken just now.

The sound was coming from backstage.

Then, Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina appeared at the backstage entrance, and it was Takayama Minami who had just spoken.

It was only at this moment that Ran Mouri noticed that Minami Takayama and Conan's voices were exactly the same.

"There's still a little time before the show starts, shall I treat everyone to something to eat?"

Gao Shannan smiled and shook the wallet in her hand.

"I brought plenty of money this time."

Chen En: ?
Why emphasize that you brought enough money?
Chen En was puzzled.

He glanced at Yuan Tai, whose eyes were shining, and his doubts were immediately resolved.

Okay, with this guy around, he really can eat a lot.

Chen En and the others naturally had no intention of refusing Gao Shannan's invitation to dinner.

Ran Mouri initially followed behind.

However, just as we were about to leave the dojo, I suddenly realized something and asked everyone to wait a moment.

Everyone stopped and waited for Ran Mouri to return.

Chen En, on the other hand, had already focused his attention on the attributes of the new item he had just acquired.

【Item Name: The Benevolent Physics Holy Sword】

[Note 1: Once upon a time, a boy with a naturally cheerful disposition used this holy sword of physics to strike a thief who stole the wheel of the city's hero's car, creating a new anti-hero.]

[Note 2: Everyone killed by this holy sword is resurrected. Resurrection is equivalent to not dying, so this is a benevolent holy sword based on physics; absolutely no one can die by this holy sword based on physics!]

—Hmm? Something's not right with this note.
Chen En paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant.

Isn't this the crowbar the Joker used to hit Jason Todd? Giving this thing to Batman is a bit too hellish.

What does it mean that "absolutely no one will die under this holy sword of physics"?
Is it that this thing can't kill people, or that people who are killed will be resurrected in the future like Jason Todd?

Chen En gave the system screen a disapproving look.

System, you have a terrible conscience!
