Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Inspector Megure's tone was somewhat expectant.

After all, every time the Cunning Rabbit House contacted him, it was usually because they had caught an important criminal or found an important clue.

"No, that's not it. I just felt that this missing person case was a bit unusual, so I came to ask you, officer, for the specifics..."

If a normal person said that, Inspector Megure would probably ignore it or just say a few words to brush it off.

After all, even if Yin Kong wasn't a police officer, it would be extremely impolite for him, as a police inspector, to rashly go to other teams to inquire about the cases they were handling.

"However, since the Rabbit House is already a cooperative organization of the Metropolitan Police Department, I can help you inquire about it, but I can't guarantee the outcome."

Inspector Megure also spoke the truth.

Because if it were him, he wouldn't really like colleagues from other groups coming over and interfering either.

Yin Kong understood and said:

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

He also knew that Inspector Megure was already doing him a great favor by asking on his behalf.

"It's nothing. Brother Yin Kong, you've helped us so much. This little thing is really nothing."

While Inspector Megure went to inquire about the situation, Yoon Sora picked up the phone again, considering whether to call Shinobu directly and ask her to use Rum's intelligence system.

After all, this person is both a high-ranking official within the public security system and has control over the winery's intelligence network, so investigating such matters should not be difficult for him.

But after thinking about it, Yin Kong decided to wait for Inspector Megure's result first.

Although other characters might be integrated into the brewery's operations in the future, like Shinobu, he still hopes to keep the brewery and the Rabbit House as separate as possible, at least on the surface.

While he was pondering, Paimon, who had already heard the news, flew over, proudly holding up the bowl in his hand:

"Yin Kong, Yin Kong, look, these are the crab meat balls I made!"

Paimon hasn't shown up all day, naturally because she didn't travel with Yin Kong.

The little guy stayed in the rabbit house from the morning onwards, helping Xiangling deal with the two king crabs that Officer Sato had brought over.

It now seems that Xiangling intends to make them into crab meat balls.

"Mmm, that's really impressive, Paimon. I'm really looking forward to your cooking!"

Paimon was naturally even more excited upon hearing Yin Kong's praise:

"Then you'll have to look forward to Paimon's Super Cuisine!"

Seeing that Paimon was full of energy again and flew back to the kitchen, Yin Kong also went to the front desk.

Aoyama Nanami was drinking tea and chatting with the two girls, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Aoyama Nanami was naturally curious about Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana.

This was especially true after Baihe Chuanhua told her that Yin Kong had invited them to sit in the shop.

After all, this was probably the first time in her memory that Yin Kong, as the shop owner, had taken the initiative to invite someone other than his agent to the shop.

Aoyama Nanami already had some understanding of Yin Kong's personality. If these two didn't have something special about them, they probably wouldn't be worth his boss doing this for.

Of course, Yotsuya Miko had also learned that the statue in the square was not only placed by her own hands, but also carved by an agent named Zhongli.

"Well, since Jianzi likes that statue so much, could we ask Mr. Zhongli to make another one?"

Upon hearing Yurikawa's suggestion, Aoyama Nanami's expression immediately became very strange.

Chapter 190 Asking

"Miss Aoyama?" Noticing the strange look in Aoyama Nanami's eyes, Yotsuya Miko quickly asked, "Could it be that Mr. Zhongli is a very strict sculptor?"

Yurikawa's words undoubtedly reminded the girl that if she could invite a statue of a deity to her home for worship, wouldn't that solve her problem perfectly without having to sleep in a tent?

After carefully considering his words, Aoyama Nanami said:

"That Mr. Zhongli? Although he seems very authoritative, he's actually a very easygoing agent, but—"

Under the curious gazes of the two girls, Aoyama Nanami asked a very strange question:

"Just the two of you, are you capable of buying this apartment building?"

After meeting Sonoko Suzuki, an unassuming young lady from a wealthy family, Aoyama Nanami no longer dared to underestimate any guest.

Even though Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana look like ordinary high school girls, what if they are also heirs to some kind of conglomerate?

Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana could not possibly guess Aoyama Nanami's thoughts. They exchanged a glance, both able to see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Clearly, they had no idea what the connection was between this question and their desire to commission Mr. Zhongli to make a statue of a deity.

However, although she couldn't understand it, Yotsuya Miko still answered honestly:

"This...this...this is unlikely."

If it were just an apartment, their family might be able to grit their teeth and buy it.

But even if you sold everything you own, or even took out a loan for your entire life, you probably couldn't buy an entire building, right?

Aoyama Nanami was in a bit of a dilemma.

After all, she had personally witnessed how Zhongli's works could easily sell for 1 billion yen.

Not only that, the Suzuki Group also wanted to spend a lot of money on a private customization, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Under these circumstances, she really didn't have a high opinion of the two girls' plans.

But if I tell the truth, wouldn't it be too hurtful?

"Ten billion, ten billion?!"

Sure enough, Baihechuanhua was stunned after hearing the price.

The statue in the square is actually worth so much?

No, that boss Yin Kong actually just left such a precious statue in the square, letting it be exposed to the wind and sun.

And what if someone finds out the price of the statue and tries to steal it in the middle of the night?

Doesn't that sound really strange?

Yurikawa Hana quickly began to suspect that Ms. Aoyama might have misheard and thought 100,000 yen meant 1 billion yen.

Then, she heard her friend's voice:

"Right, if that's really the case... then this price is quite reasonable."

Although Yotsuya Miko was also shocked by the price, she felt a sense of disappointment, yet also a sense of it being justified.

Indeed, it would be abnormal for a statue that can eliminate terrifying ghosts and monsters to be priced the same as those clay or wooden puppets, right?

If she really had a billion dollars, she would definitely buy the statue without hesitation.

Hearing her friend's exclamation, Yurikawa found it all quite unbelievable.

Where exactly is this price reasonable?

Although that statue looks somewhat majestic, it doesn't seem like it could be worth a billion yen.

Aoyama Nanami was also very surprised:

"Miss Yotsuya really likes sculptures. Can you see what's special about that statue?"

What she didn't tell the two of them was that Zhong Li had mentioned that the Shenyu Valley sculpture, which sold for a staggering 1 billion yen, was just something he casually carved out from scraps of material he used to make statues.

Therefore, theoretically, the value of the statue should be far greater than one billion.

This can also be seen from the time Mr. Zhongli spent on the carving.

The problem is that Aoyama Nanami can appreciate the stunning beauty of the Chenyu Valley reliefs. Even if he knows nothing about sculpture, he can tell that it is definitely a masterpiece.

However, like Yurikawa Hana, she felt nothing special about the statue except for its majesty.

Now, Miko Yotsuya says she can fully understand the value of the statue, which makes her curious.

"Ah, this-"

Yotsuya Miko naturally knew nothing about sculpture, and just as she was wondering how to answer, Yin Kong's voice rang out in time:

"I'm very sorry, Miss Yotsuya, Mr. Zhongli doesn't act easily, so it's probably impossible for you to ask him to make a new statue."

In reality, the Seven Gods statues are not something that can be made at will.

Without sufficient faith power, even if a new idol is created, it is only equivalent to a large imperial coin, which can only protect a very small area.

"Is that right?"

Although she could understand, Yotsuya Miko still felt a sense of disappointment upon hearing Yoon Sora's clear rejection.

Seeing this, Yin Kong immediately said:

"Miss Yotsuya, there's no need to be so discouraged. There's more than one way to solve your problem."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko immediately raised her head and asked excitedly:

"Boss Yin Kong, you mean you can solve my problem..."

Seeing that Yotsuya Miko was so excited that she even stuttered a little, Yin Kong smiled slightly:

"I do have some ideas, but how about we go inside and talk about them privately?"

Yotsuya Miko agreed without hesitation, because she also felt that it was indeed very inconvenient to talk about these topics in front of other people.

"See you, Zi?" But her best friend, Yurikawa Hana, grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with worry. "Is something wrong with your health?"

Under these circumstances, no matter how carefree Yurikawa Hana's personality was, it was impossible that she didn't realize that her friend probably did have some kind of problem.

Moreover, judging from Yotsuya Miko's current agitated expression, and considering that she had been weeping bitterly while holding the statue earlier, it must be no small matter.

Could it be some kind of terminal illness?

Damn it, how come I didn't even realize it?

Of course, what worries Yurikawa even more at this moment is that if it is a terminal illness, then they should seek help from doctors.

However, compared to a doctor, Yin Kong, who speaks in a mysterious manner, is actually more like a charlatan.

Could the Cunning Rabbit House be an organization that uses the guise of treating terminal illnesses to swindle money?

"Don't worry, Xiaohua, I'm perfectly clear-headed and won't be fooled."

Yotsuya Miko's assurances naturally failed to reassure her friend.

However, watching her resolutely follow Yin Kong away, she couldn't find any reason to stop her.

Once I get back, I'll have to come up with a suitable reason again.

Yotsuya Miko had a bit of a headache, but soon all her attention was focused on Yoon Sora in front of her.

After Yin Kong invited her to sit down, she couldn't wait to ask:

"Mr. Yin Kong, can you see those guys too?"

Chapter 191 Only stronger monsters can destroy monsters.

"Mr. Yin Kong, can you see those guys too?"

Yotsuya Miko looked excited, even somewhat impatient.

Because she had endured for so long, and had finally found someone "like her," how could she control her urge to confide in someone?

Yin Kong could certainly understand this feeling, after all, he had also visited almost all the famous shrines in Tokyo, hoping to find a quiet place.

However, it turned out that those famous shrines were mostly overrated, while the little-known Higurashi Shrine hid a sacred tree with the power of time.

"Miss Yotsuya, please be patient. We have plenty of time and can talk slowly."

After calming the girl down a bit, Yin Kong immediately asked:

"First of all, how much do you know about what's happening to you?"

Yotsuya Miko thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly and said:

"Absolutely not."

She really did just wake up one morning and suddenly be able to see those ghosts.

Before that, I had not experienced any special events, nor had I been to any special places.
