"Brother Xiaofeng, do you already know my true identity?"
Conan asked seriously, not at all like he was joking.
"Yes, Shinichi Kudo."
"So... how did you know my true identity?"
"Your face alone is enough. You think I wouldn't recognize you as a miniature Shinichi Kudo just because you're wearing glasses? And then... you put on a show with Kogoro Mouri in front of so many people, which only confirms my suspicions!"
"Lin Xiaofeng... I never would have guessed that there was someone like you among my classmates!"
Shinichi Kudo was preoccupied with cases all day at school and didn't care about his classmates at all. So when Lin Xiaofeng suddenly appeared, he wasn't surprised at all.
"What? You admit it?"
"You've already found out, what's the point of me denying it?"
"Um... It seems like you've been hiding the fact that you shrunk from everyone. You've even been hiding it from your childhood friend, Ran Mouri, is that right?"
Conan sighed, "I have no choice... In order not to implicate others, I have to hide my identity."
Hearing Conan's words, Lin Xiaofeng found it amusing. Later in the story, it seemed the whole world knew Conan was Shinichi Kudo, except for Ran Mouri. So, to avoid implicating others, he deliberately went to Ran Mouri's place, just to sabotage his own people, huh?
"What are you laughing at again? Why do I feel uncomfortable whenever you laugh?"
Conan Edogawa looked at Lin Xiaofeng with great displeasure.
"You're imagining things." Lin Xiaofeng's smile faded. "Conan, what are you planning to do next? Stay a child forever?"
"No, I turned into a child because of an organization. I need to find that organization, find the antidote, and return to Shinichi Kudo's appearance."
Conan tells Lin Xiaofeng about his experience, since the other party already knows he is Shinichi Kudo, so there is no need to hide it anymore.
"I see. Do your parents know about you shrinking?"
"Yes, I know. I've already told them."
"Why didn't you ask your parents for help? What can a little kid like you do?"
"This... I don't want to trouble my parents."
"So you're telling me all this just so you can get my help? You don't want to trouble your parents, but you're thinking of troubling me instead?"
"That was not what I meant……"
Conan actually wanted to tell Lin Xiaofeng about his tragic experiences and that Shinichi Kudo was still alive, so that Lin Xiaofeng would sympathize with him and stop trying to steal Ran Mouri's love away.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiaofeng only felt that Conan had brought it upon himself and deserved it.
God the hell, you're on a date and you're out arresting criminals? You're a high school student, please!
“My suggestion is to have your parents go back to Tokyo to help you,” Lin Xiaofeng reminded Conan. “Before your father became a novelist, he was a famous detective in Tokyo, and your mother is a big star with connections. I think your parents can both help you.”
"But, I..."
Conan Edogawa was still hesitating.
Lin Xiaofeng continued, "Conan, are you planning to go it alone? I think you really don't intend to turn back into Shinichi Kudo!"
Conan Edogawa felt as if he had been enlightened by Lin Xiaofeng's words.
In fact, Conan Edogawa understood what Lin Xiaofeng was saying. In order not to implicate his parents, he specifically asked them to return to New York and not interfere.
As a result... Conan Edogawa's parents really didn't care about him anymore, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Conan Edogawa, after being persuaded by Lin Xiaofeng, has changed his mind and decided to send his parents back to Tokyo to help him.
Seeing Conan Edogawa's expression, Lin Xiaofeng knew his plan had succeeded and secretly felt smug.
Conan Edogawa's mother is named Yukiko Kudo, whose real name is Yukiko Fujimine. She is a once-in-a-millennium beauty in Japan and was a superstar in Japan before her marriage.
Once you miss it, there will be no substitute. It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity, and you absolutely can't miss it!
8. Vermouth, the Witch of Ages
Lin Xiaofeng and Conan followed the three kids, chatting as they walked. The three kids in front were having trouble; they couldn't decipher the information on the treasure map at all.
Genta Kojima: "What are you two talking about? You've been talking nonstop since the beginning."
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "Have you deciphered the treasure map yet? Tell us the answer quickly."
Ayumi Yoshida: "Hurry, hurry, I really want to know what the treasure is!"
Conan Edogawa accepted the treasure map with a wry smile, but he didn't really care about it and didn't really think there would be any treasure.
After analyzing the treasure map, Conan Edogawa determined that the treasure was located in the direction of the Tokyo Railway.
So he went ahead and led everyone to find the treasure.
Soon after, the group arrived at an abandoned factory in Beika 3-chome.
Conan stopped and said calmly, "The treasure marked on the map is nearby. Let's look for it."
"Yes!" The three little devils scattered and searched for the treasure with great interest.
Conan and others were also very curious about what the treasure in the treasure map was.
The little devils were so engrossed in finding the treasure that they failed to notice three men in suits lurking in the shadows.
One person with an Eastern face and two with Western faces, both clearly vicious bandits, were now sneaking around like thieves, observing the little devil in the abandoned factory.
Lin Xiaofeng was cautious and quietly hid himself. The abandoned factory was messy and easy to hide in.
The reason he hid was because the appearance of these three bandits revealed to him what the treasure truly was.
Those were 15,000 maple leaf gold coins, worth nearly 500 million yen, and Lin Xiaofeng had his eye on them.
The system's rewards did not include money, but Lin Xiaofeng needed money.
Not long after, in the dimly lit abandoned factory, Conan looked at the few gold coins lying on the ground and excitedly clenched his fist: "I knew it, there it is!"
"Hehe, you guys have really worked hard."
The Easterner among the three robbers was the first to pick up the gold coins on the ground, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
"What are you doing? This is the treasure we found! Give it back to me!"
Genta, the chubby member of the Junior Detective League, is incredibly brave. When faced with a fierce robber, he immediately pounced on him and began to fight.
And the final result, of course, was... a good beating.
Soon, Lin Xiaofeng, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the trio of robbers knock out the Junior Detectives and tie them all up, locking them up in a room in the abandoned factory.
The trio of robbers planned to take the treasure and leave, not wanting to bother with the brats. There was no need to dirty their hands, much less care about their lives.
Lin Xiaofeng watched as the three bandits took out their tools and started digging, and they actually dug up a large bag of maple leaf gold coins.
Lin Xiaofeng knew in his heart that it was his turn to make his appearance.
Lin Xiaofeng activated an advanced fighting technique, and with magical steps, he suddenly attacked while the bandits were distracted by their excitement over the gold coins.
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, Lin Xiaofeng defeated the three robbers with his fighting skills.
One of the robbers staggered and tried to pull out a gun to shoot Lin Xiaofeng.
Lin Xiaofeng reacted quickly, reaching out and snatching the robber's gun away.
"Bang bang bang!"
Lin Xiaofeng fired three shots into the heads of the robbers, killing all three of them, all for the purpose of double-crossing them.
Looking at the pile of brains left by the robbers, Lin Xiaofeng felt uncomfortable.
"It's true what they say: people die for wealth, and birds die for food."
Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed. Then, he hoisted the large bag of gold coins onto his shoulder; it was quite heavy. If the system hadn't given him two comprehensive score points, Lin Xiaofeng doubted he could have carried it alone.
Ding! Host has found a treasure. Please select your reward: skills, items, or stat points.
Lin Xiaofeng chose the skill.
He chose the skill because he was deeply impressed by the power of the advanced combat technique he had just witnessed. The three fierce-looking bandits were utterly powerless against his advanced combat skills.
Lin Xiaofeng dared to double-cross others because he relied on the advanced fighting techniques given to him by the system. Even so, he still felt nervous. But when he actually used the advanced fighting techniques, Lin Xiaofeng was no longer nervous. The advanced fighting techniques given by the system were like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut when dealing with three robbers.
"Ding, skill reward: Intuition."
Intuition: "Intuition" is the ability to instantly determine the most suitable action for oneself during combat. It can even enter the realm of "predicting the future." One can predict ballistics through the sound of wind and intuition, thus avoiding attacks from firearms. Impairment to sight and hearing is halved.
The instant Lin Xiaofeng gained the Intuition skill, he discovered that there was another person in the abandoned factory.
A silver-haired woman was walking towards him step by step from behind.
Lin Xiaofeng put down the money bag, turned around, and looked coldly at the silver-haired woman.
The silver-haired woman was surprised, seemingly not expecting that the other party had already noticed her.
She tried to get closer, pointing a gun at the young man and threatening him.
However, the young man's actions only strengthened her resolve.
"Young man, you're ruthless. You killed three people in a row without even blinking."
"Since you know that, you still dare to come near me."
"Please don't misunderstand, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."
"Cooperation? On what basis?"
Lin Xiaofeng met the woman's gaze, astonished by her beauty, which was as alluring and captivating as a witch.
"You can't dispose of stolen goods."
A confident smile spread across the woman's face. She took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and began to smoke them elegantly.
"You don't think that just because you stole the gold coins, they're yours. How do you plan to dispose of them? If you can't dispose of them, how can you sleep with so many gold coins all day long? Don't forget, there are a few kids who might suspect you. You're not planning to kill them too, are you?"
The woman's words did indeed enlighten Lin Xiaofeng. He certainly couldn't bring himself to kill those little devils. However, if they became suspicious of him, it would certainly be a troublesome matter.
Lin Xiaofeng let out a soft breath and calmly said, "Woman, tell me? How do you plan to cooperate?"
The woman introduced herself: "I am Vermouth, and I belong to an organization called Raven. Once you join the organization, I will help you dispose of the stolen goods, and the money will be split 50/50."
The woman introduced herself as Vermouth, and Lin Xiaofeng thought to himself, "Just as I thought, no wonder she's so beautiful!"
However, Vermouth's terms were too outrageous.
Lin Xiaofeng sneered, "Splitting it 50/50 is one thing, but you also want me to join your organization? You're being too ruthless."
Vermouth said calmly, "I had no intention of taking your money. Half of it is yours, and the other half is your pledge to join the organization. I didn't take a single penny from you."
"You seem very confident? What makes you think I'll join your organization?"
"Join my organization, and as long as you complete tasks for the organization, the organization can help you get everything you want in return."
"You're really good at making empty promises; even young people just starting out in the workforce don't believe this."
Seeing the other party's disdainful expression, Vermouth did not get angry, remaining calm and confident.
"I'm asking you, if you were piloting a helicopter over Tokyo Tower and then strafing people down, what would happen?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng gasped, "Then I'm definitely doomed. Not only will the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department deploy its mobile units, but even the Self-Defense Forces will be mobilized."
Vermouth laughed, a bewitching and alluring laugh.
"Join my organization, and even if you do the things mentioned above, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Self-Defense Forces will pretend they didn't see anything!"
"How can it be……"
Lin Xiaofeng found it unbelievable.
Then, Lin Xiaofeng remembered the Detective Conan movie he watched before he transmigrated, and knew that Vermouth's words were true.
Once you join the organization, even if they fly a helicopter over Tokyo Tower and strafe downwards, nobody will care!
9. I've never seen so much money before; poverty limits imagination.
"Can I really trust you? I don't believe in free lunches."
Lin Xiaofeng was already tempted. Joining the organization would grant him the authority to commit crimes at will without fear of being arrested by the police. That was fantastic!
"To be honest, the organization is currently short-staffed and needs young and promising talents like you to bring fresh blood to the organization!"
Vermouth was forced into a corner by Gin. Gin was useless at everything, only killing his own people, and was wiping out the organization's talent pool. Left with no other choice, she personally stepped in to recruit new members.
Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Vermouth said calmly, "Give me the gold coins, and I can transfer the money to you first. Isn't that enough to make you trust me?"
