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

Chapter 79 The World's Largest Pink Sapphire

Conan, with his head pressed down, said thank you to Chen En with a sour face.

Then, feeling utterly helpless, he took the salted fish and used it as a magic weapon.

Upon seeing this, Chen En couldn't help but smirk.

You think I, Batman, can't handle you, Robin?
Batman is not such an inconvenient thing.
He ignored Conan's gaze from the other side.

Chen En then opened the system shop.

My current score is 350.

If it weren't for hitching a ride with Conan, who knows when I would have been able to accumulate this much wealth.

However, the system shop is still refreshing its inventory with some special items that are unaffordable today.

For example, platinum kryptonite, which can grant superhuman abilities.

But there was another prop that caught Chen En's eye.

【Item Name: Buffer Green Light Ring】

[Note 1: Batman from Earth Zero Universe, you possess the willpower to overcome immense fear. Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps.]

[Note 2: Willpower will become your greatest source of strength.]

[Exchange Price: 1000 points]

Chen En: ?
A green light ring worth 1000 points? It's not a time-limited item?
According to this logic, will we be able to get a yellow light ring and a red light ring with a score of 1,000 in the future?

Should we save up some points and buy special items at this price when they are available again?

Chen En secretly made a plan in his mind.

However, he noticed that Daisuke Shiraki was walking out of the manager's office in a daze.

Seeing the mess in the lobby of the Red Flower Seaside Hotel, Shiraki Daisuke must not be in a good mood. To avoid being kicked out by Shiraki Daisuke later, Chen En decided to leave first.

No, this is not a retreat, but an advance into the future!

Conan waved the salted fish in his hand while observing Chen En's situation.

Upon seeing Chen En run away, he immediately realized that something was wrong and was about to run away as well, but he found that Shiraki Daisuke had already angrily ordered the security personnel to clear the area.

—Conan and his friends successfully achieved the feat of being kicked out of the hotel.

However, Conan can somewhat understand Daisuke Shiraki's feelings.

Anyone who knows they've almost been killed, and then goes outside to find their job is about to be lost, wouldn't be in a good mood, and it's normal to be irritable.

Kogoro Mouri takes it all in stride.

He yawned and said,
"Alright, alright, let's find a place to eat and have a couple of drinks first..."

As soon as Kogoro Mouri finished speaking, he noticed Ran Mouri's disapproving look.

He immediately changed his tune and continued,

"...I'll go back to the juice, after all, I've made up my mind to quit drinking for a while."

Conan, who was following Kogoro Mouri and his group into the room, casually tossed the salted fish into the nearby trash can.

He held the back of his head with both hands, still unable to understand why Chen En carried a salted fish with him.

While it's true that frozen fish can be used as a weapon.

But besides Jackie Chan, who would carry this thing around as a weapon to hit people?

Besides, doesn't Chen En have a whole bunch of combat gadgets developed by Professor Agasa?
Conan stroked his chin, pondering the specific reasons.

Could it be that she just knew he was very curious, so she deliberately brought a salted fish to prank him?
Does Chen En, who calls himself Batman, really have such a perverse sense of humor?
...Could this guy be referring to the Lego Batman when he calls himself Batman?

Conan was completely baffled by this.

However, he suddenly thought of something.

Hey, didn't Sonoko say she was dating Chen En? Why haven't I seen Sonoko today?

—————— At this very moment, at the Suzuki Foundation's exhibition hall.

An advisor to the Suzuki Foundation and the nemesis of Kaito Kid.

And Sonoko Suzuki's uncle.

Jirokichi Suzuki was admiring the gem in front of him with a smug look.

This is the world's largest pink sapphire!
The original owner was Mr. J.P. Thana.

However, the owner of this pink sapphire has now changed to the Suzuki Foundation!
Because Suzuki Jirokichi heard that Phantom Thief Kid had sent a notice of theft to Mr. J.P. Tana.

Therefore, he spent a huge sum of money to buy this gem and placed it in his own exhibition hall!

"Hahahaha, this inescapable net is so tight, even if Phantom Thief Kid had wings, he couldn't escape!"

Looking at the heavily fortified anti-theft measures in front of him.

Jirokichi Suzuki couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter.

When it comes to dealing with Kaito Kid, the previous generation of the Suzuki Foundation maintained a consistent attitude.

Previously, Tomoko Suzuki, not believing in superstition, deliberately brought the Dark Star aboard the Queen Cerissa to test Kaito Kid.

Then it got stolen, and Tomoko Suzuki became superstitious.

But when Suzuki Jirokichi heard that he was also going to clash with Kaito Kid, Suzuki Tomoko became skeptical.

She immediately expressed her full support and even funded the purchase of the fan sapphire for Jirokichi Suzuki.

There is only one purpose!
That is to get back the face that the Suzuki Foundation lost on the Queen Cerissa!
"Haha, Sonoko, haven't you always wanted to know what Kaito Kid looks like?"

"Watch closely, the day after tomorrow, your uncle will use this mechanism to catch Phantom Thief Kid. At that time, your uncle will personally take off that thief's monocle so you can see him to your heart's content!"

Jirokichi Suzuki admired his security measures while boasting to Sonoko Suzuki.

This is precisely why Sonoko Suzuki didn't go out today.

—She was under the strict control of her uncle for an entire day.

Looking at Jirokichi Suzuki's smug expression, Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but sigh.

Honestly, Uncle is so old, why does he still like to compete like a child?

My mother is also... she actually supports my uncle doing this.

Have we all become like playful old children?
For a moment, Sonoko Suzuki even had the feeling that she was the most clear-headed person in the Suzuki family.

She didn't even need to think about it; if her older sister, Ayako Suzuki, were also in Tokyo...

Most likely, she would also be under her uncle's strict control for a whole day, just like her.

"Oh, by the way, Sonoko, do you have a boyfriend?"

Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko Suzuki was immediately startled.

She blushed and waved her hand, about to say that there was no such thing and that she should keep it a secret from her elders for a while longer.

However, Jirokichi Suzuki patted Sonoko Suzuki on the shoulder and said rather openly,

"What's there to be afraid of? What storms haven't I weathered?"

"Alright, it's normal for young people to like dating. I'll keep it from Tomoko for you, but she'll find out eventually. If you're really determined, just tell me, and I'll go with you."

"Don't worry, Pengzi keeps talking about marriage between equals, but your uncle doesn't care about that. I was there, so she wouldn't dare say anything!"

Although Jirokichi Suzuki only held a sinecure as an advisor within the Suzuki Foundation.

However, he is of a higher generation in the Suzuki family.

I heard Jirokichi Suzuki's guarantee.

Sonoko Suzuki was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.

—It's still my uncle!
