Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

"Conan, I know you're a smart kid, but if you think you can always fool adults just because you're smart, you'll eventually reap what you sow..."

"No! That's not the case!"

Upon hearing this, Conan naturally began to defend himself with great enthusiasm.

Although he couldn't immediately concoct the identities of his parents, he was, after all, a quick-witted detective, and immediately said:

"Because my parents' identities are very special, I can't tell anyone else, but please believe me, that Fumiyo Edogawa is definitely not a good person... Oh, and Professor Agasa! Brother Yin Kong, you can call Professor Agasa and ask him, he can definitely testify for me!"

Conan was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

If it were Professor Agasa, he definitely could—

"Conan? I heard his mother is back. She should have picked him up by now, right?"

However, after Yin Kong got through to Professor Agasa, what the other party said shocked Conan.

"My mother?" Conan asked incredulously, "What are you talking about, Professor? When did my mother come to pick me up?"

Could it be that the professor was referring to Fumiyo Edogawa?

But how is it possible?

"That voice is... Conan? So you went to Mr. Yin Kong's side."

Professor Agasa sounded very surprised, as if he hadn't expected Conan to be there, but he quickly seemed to understand:

"Didn't your mother, Wen Dai, come to pick you up? Oh, I see, you must have sneaked out again, right?"

"What do you mean, 'my mother, Fumiyo'?" Conan practically wanted to snatch Yin Kong's phone away, and asked, "Doctor, don't you recognize me? How could that woman possibly be my mother?"

Dr. Agasa sighed and advised:

"Hey Conan, while it's true that Fumiyo was wrong to leave you here alone for so long, it's also because of the nature of her job. She's still your mother, and if she heard you say that, she would be very heartbroken..."

"Alright, is there anything else you want to say now?"

After the call ended, Paimon looked at Conan with a cold smile, almost as if to say, "Keep making things up, I'm listening."

"This, this, this... how is this possible?"

Of course, Conan himself was also greatly shocked at this moment.

He leaned back against the cushion, looking utterly bewildered.

To be honest, for a moment just now, he even wondered if there was something wrong with his memory.

He himself is an elementary school student named Conan Edogawa, and Fumiyo Edogawa is indeed his mother.

As for the famous detective Shinichi Kudo, he was merely an identity he created in his imagination.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain what Dr. Agasa said.

This suspicion lasted only a brief moment; soon, Conan jumped up from his chair with a look of horror on his face.

"No, no! They must have kidnapped Professor Agasa, that's why he said that!"

In fact, there is an even more terrifying possibility than being threatened: that Professor Agasa has actually been killed by those guys.

The person they were talking to just now wasn't the Doctor himself; it was just a member of the Black Organization using a voice changer to impersonate him.

This is a set of rules that Conan is very familiar with.

After all, just a few days ago, he had allowed Professor Agasa to speak to Ran in his own voice, clearing Ran of any doubts about his identity.

Damn it, I never expected this trick to be used on me so quickly.

"Wow, I've seen plenty of con artists, but I've never seen anyone as stubborn as Conan." Paimon shook his head, saying helplessly, "In Li—uh, in Chinese terms, this is what they call 'not shedding tears until you see the coffin,' right?"

"I'm really not lying, please believe me!"

That's all Conan could say.

But even he himself felt that the statement was terribly weak.

Paimon sneered:

"Hmph, do you think we'd still believe your nonsense?"

Yes, looking at the silent Yin Kong, Conan also felt a sense of despair.

Finally, he jumped up from his chair and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Fine, if you don't believe me, I'll go by myself!"

He knew very well that, given his current state, running back would most likely be nothing more than walking into a trap.

But now that things have come to this, he can't think of a better solution. He can't just let the doctor stay at home and wait to die, can he?

"Don't rush, Conan." Just as Conan was about to run away, Yin Kong grabbed his collar. "I haven't said I don't believe you yet."

Although Professor Agasa was most likely not threatened, but rather actively cooperating with the Kudo couple in putting on an act, what's the point of making you rush back to your death like that?

"Really, Brother Yin Kong, you're willing to believe me?"

Conan was taken aback upon hearing this, then his eyes widened in surprise.

Yin Kong smiled slightly and said:

"How about this, I'll go with you one last time, consider it a visit to Professor Agasa."

Conan stared blankly at Yin Kong, noticing that Yin Kong's head was blocking the light bulb on the ceiling, making it appear from his angle as if a halo of light was shining behind Yin Kong's head.

"Thank you so much, Brother Yin Kong!"

"Don't rush to thank me." Yin Kong waved his hand, reminding him, "Let me make this clear beforehand, my patience is limited, so Conan, if I prove you're lying again, then—"

Conan nodded vigorously and swore:

"Then let me never grow tall and can only go to first grade forever!"

Chapter 223 Seedlings and Elves

"This is trouble."

Conan probably never imagined that Professor Agasa, whom he was willing to risk his life to save, was currently sitting with "Fumiyo Edogawa," who had "kidnapped" him, discussing how to deal with him.

After hanging up the phone, Professor Agasa scratched his brilliant brain, looking troubled, and said:

"Shinichi actually went to Mr. Yin Kong's place. Should we just abandon the plan?"

"Abandon the plan? Why?" Hearing this, "Edogawa Fumiyo" was puzzled and asked, "Doctor, what you just said should have been enough to make Mr. Yin Kong think that Conan is throwing a tantrum and running away from home, right? Next, all we have to do is find out where that man is, and then we can take Shinichi away openly, right?"

"No, I don't think that gentleman actually completely believed what the doctor said. Otherwise, even if he hadn't suggested sending Shinichi back, he would have given us the address to pick him up."

Kudo Yusaku suddenly spoke up. At that moment, he was imitating the appearance of the character he created in his novel, "The Dark Baron," so he didn't look like a good person at all.

Dr. Agasa nodded slightly, as if in realization:

"I see, I just had a vague feeling about it."

"Is that so? Doctor, you didn't leave any loopholes in your words, did you?" Fumiyo Edogawa also understood and asked curiously, "But who exactly is this Mr. Yin Kong, that Shinichi would take the initiative to go and ask him for help?"

After all, according to their original assumptions, Shinichi Kudo should have gone to Professor Agasa for help first.

Obviously, they couldn't have guessed that teleportation existed in this world.

Yusaku Kudo was also watching Professor Agasa. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. He knew very well his son's proud and arrogant personality. The person who could make him take the initiative to ask for help must be very extraordinary.

“This Mr. Yin Kong, he should be considered a detective as well,” Professor Agasa thought for a moment and introduced, “Not only is his reasoning ability extremely impressive, even Shinichi is convinced of his superiority, but his fighting skills are also remarkable. Furthermore, he runs an all-purpose agency called Rabbit House, where the agents are all incredibly capable; it's said they even captured a real member of the Black Organization…”

Yusaku Kudo understood:

"They actually captured members of that organization. Could it be that Shinichi is choosing to ask them for help?"

Dr. Agasa asked:

"So, Yusaku, should we continue with the original plan?"

Fumiyo Edogawa raised an eyebrow, understanding the unspoken meaning in Professor Agasa's words:

"What, Doctor, are you worried that we can't handle Mr. Yin Kong?"

Dr. Agasa chuckled dryly and explained:

“I naturally believe in your abilities, Yusaku and Yukiko, but Mr. Yin Kong is also very capable. If you two were to start fighting, it wouldn't be good if either of you got hurt, would it?”

However, looking into Fumiyo Edogawa's eyes, Yusaku Kudo knew that his competitive wife was unlikely to heed Professor Agasa's advice.

However, after listening to the doctor's introduction, he did become very interested in Yin Kong, so he said:

"In that case, let's try to outsmart them first. If we're really exposed, then it's not too late to reveal our identities."

"Never grow up? Is that a vow?" Paimon felt offended and said with an annoyed look, "I think it should be changed to: you can only eat weird food forever, and someone sings in your ear while you sleep. That would be more sincere, right?"

Conan nodded repeatedly:

"Anything is fine! Anything is fine! Brother Yin Kong, shall we go back and save the doctor now?"

He was extremely worried, because every second of delay would likely make the doctor's situation even more dangerous.

Let alone Paimon's request, even if he were to dress up in women's clothing and dance to Gokuraku Jodo right now, he would not hesitate for a second.

"All right……"

Paimon reluctantly asked the shop assistant to pack up her blueberry cupcakes, then glared fiercely at Conan, as if to say:

If Professor Agasa hadn't encountered an accident, he definitely wouldn't have gotten away with it.

"His-"

Conan, hurrying on his way, started to grin and grimace again.

After all, his ligaments were so sore that he would feel pain if he walked even a little faster, so it was obviously impossible for him to stroll back slowly.

Fortunately, they were not far from Professor Agasa's house.

Because Yusaku Kudo's prediction was correct, if Conan hadn't "coincidentally" run into Yin Kong, he would probably have already run to Dr. Agasa's doorstep and gotten himself killed.

"We've arrived. This is the doctor's house!"

Looking in the direction Conan was pointing, Yin Kong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

It wasn't for any other reason than that he had already "seen" Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo.

More accurately, it was something special that floated on them—

【Sapling of the Sacred Tree】 and 【Fragrant Seraphim - Angelica】.

As Shinichi Kudo's parents, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo have beings similar to [Yata Crow] by their side. Should Yin Kong find this surprising, or should he say it's entirely reasonable?

Beside Yusaku Kudo is a sapling that is growing.

Judging from its shape, it does resemble the sacred tree somewhat, but there are also very obvious differences.

As for Yukiko Kudo, she is a little fairy with wings, happily flying around the sapling.

Like the [Eight Crows], Yin Kong did not sense any evil aura from them, but rather they seemed like normal NPCs that he could communicate with.

If there was anything that surprised Yin Kong, it was probably that the two spirits accompanying the Kudo couple, who were their parents, were not as powerful as [Yata-u].

At least in Yin Kong's perception, the sapling's aura was roughly equivalent to that of the [Ever-Changing Witch].

The aura of the little sprite was only equivalent to around level 30.

Although they are not weak compared to ordinary demons who are only in their teens or twenties, they are completely insignificant compared to [Yata-Uru], who defeated [Uru-Uru-Oni-Maru] head-on and even perished together with the Abyss Giant Hand, which is at the level of a demon god.

"Perhaps it's because that [Eight Crows] was originally an extremely special being?" As Yin Kong wondered, Zhong Li's voice also rang in his mind, "They probably don't have the ability to devour demons and turn their power into their own."

Conan, of course, had no way of knowing any of this. At Yin Kong's prompting, he had already arrived at Professor Agasa's door and rang the doorbell.

Chapter 224 Hair Growth Secret Recipe

Through the iron gate, watching the door of Professor Agasa's house slowly open, Conan's nerves were stretched to the limit in that instant.

At that moment, he was genuinely afraid that the person who would open the door would be Fumiyo Edogawa or some stranger he didn't know.

That likely means that the possibility he was most worried about may have already occurred.

Fortunately, Conan's worst fears did not come true.

The one who opened the door was none other than the portly Professor Agasa himself. Looking at Yin Kong and Paimon outside the iron gate, he said with a surprised expression:

"Mr. Yin Kong, what brings you here?"
