“Of course, I was afraid you would worry, so I specially sent this kid back.”
Yin Kong lifted Conan up in front of him, and Conan, very cooperatively, flapped his short legs and began to protest:
"Brother Yin Kong, let me go! I don't want to go back!"
"Don't even think about escaping from me, Conan."
Yin Kong chuckled and immediately grabbed Conan, following Professor Agasa into the house.
"Exactly!" Even though he knew Conan was just pretending, Paimon still laughed heartily at the sight of him thrashing about in mid-air. "He made me not even finish my cake. Professor Agasa, you have to teach him a lesson."
"Well... hehehe."
Professor Agasa clearly lacked the talent for lying; upon hearing Paimon's words, he could only chuckle awkwardly and remain silent.
As expected, the Kudo couple had already hidden upstairs. Professor Agasa led them to the living room and said:
"We really owe Mr. Yin Kong a lot this time. I'll contact Conan's mother right away to pick him up."
Yin Kong waved his hand and said:
"It was just a small favor. Oh, and please accept this small gift since it's my first visit."
They even brought a gift?
Looking at the gift box that Yin Kong took out, Professor Agasa was first stunned, then said with shame:
"I can't accept this. You two have already gone to so much trouble..."
Paimon said smugly:
"Professor Agasa, aren't you going to open it and take a look? This is a hair growth secret recipe that Yin Kong specially prepared for you."
Upon hearing this, Professor Agasa was immediately overjoyed, instantly forgetting all about cooperating in the act:
"A secret formula for hair regrowth?!"
Yin Kong nodded slightly and explained:
"It's a mysterious formula from the rainforest, and it's said to be very effective."
"You've gone to so much trouble."
Dr. Agasa opened the package with anticipation; inside was a box of special ointment.
This hair growth cream is naturally the work of Ke Lai, and it uses star mushrooms activated by lightning elemental power as an ingredient, so it should have good results.
It is worth mentioning that, under Cole's meticulous care, the first batch of Teyvat plants planted in the firm have begun to mature.
In a day or two at most, characters like Ah Ren and Xiang Ling who need plant materials should be able to break through to level 20, just like Zhong Li.
"By the way, Professor Agasa, here are the instructions for using the ointment."
Along with the ointment, there was also a handwritten instruction manual.
"Why does it need to be used under moonlight?"
However, upon looking at the contents of the instruction manual, Dr. Agasa quickly scratched his head in confusion.
"Perhaps it's some kind of ritual? After all, it's a secret recipe from Egypt and ancient India, so it's not surprising that it would require some mysterious rituals."
"I see. I'll definitely pay attention then."
Dr. Agasa nodded repeatedly, completely forgetting his identity as a scientist, saying that as long as his hair could grow back, he would do anything, not just a ceremony, but even a shamanistic ritual.
"Oh, and here too, the dosage for each use is noted down..."
Dr. Agasa was stunned when he saw the spot where Yin Kong was pointing.
Because what was written there wasn't an instruction manual for the hair growth formula, but rather a line of text:
"Professor Agasa, if you're not being threatened, please add milk to my next cup of coffee."
Oh! I almost forgot, I'm still acting!
Upon seeing this message, Dr. Agasa, whose attention had been completely captivated by the hair growth formula, suddenly remembered Yusaku's plan.
Seeing Professor Agasa clearly stunned, Yin Kong immediately coughed and asked:
"Doctor, have you remembered this?"
So that's how it is. Did Yin Kong and Xin Yi intend to confirm their safety in this way?
Professor Agasa barely managed to regain his composure and nodded, saying:
"Remember, remember."
"That's good."
Then, under Professor Agasa's astonished gaze, Yin Kong lightly ran his finger across the line of text, erasing it from the paper like an eraser, leaving no trace.
Is this text written with a special solution?
Dr. Agasa, being an inventor after all, quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.
But is this hair regrowth secret formula really true?
Could it be a fabricated excuse to confirm one's safety?
For a moment, Dr. Agasa became somewhat anxious and uncertain.
Paimon suddenly shouted:
"Yin Kong, I want to eat cake!"
"Of course, no problem. Paimon can eat as much as he wants."
Yin Kong gently pinched Xiao Paimeng's cheek as he helped her unwrap the small cake.
"Hehe, Yin Kong is the best!"
However, as Paimon eagerly rubbed his hands together, Professor Agasa quietly advised him:
"Hey Yin Kong, if Paimon eats too many sweets, won't he get cavities?"
"Hmph!" Paimon was naturally smug upon hearing this. "I'm not afraid of cavities at all."
At this point, Yin Kong stretched and yawned widely.
"By the way, Doctor, do you have any coffee? I didn't sleep well last night, I stayed up all night saving the world, and now I'm incredibly tired..."
"Yes, of course, please wait a moment!"
Dr. Agasa suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately ran to the kitchen with a conflicted expression, clutching the "hair growth secret recipe."
Hey, what do you mean by "saving the world overnight"?
Conan looked at Yin Kong speechlessly, thinking that it was indeed him, still having the mood to make such a joke under the circumstances.
But now, can I finally prove my innocence and join forces to fight the Black Organization?
Thinking of this, Conan quietly clenched his little fist.
He had already considered it. Professor Agasa was likely already under the control of the Black Organization, and his every word and action was being monitored, so it would be dangerous to rashly ask him to do strange things.
He couldn't just say, "Doctor, blink if you're being threatened."
However, not adding milk to the coffee, or even simply refusing to pour the coffee, are very natural ways of asking for help.
Just wait, Doctor, we'll definitely get you out of here!
Just as Conan was full of fighting spirit, Yin Kong slapped him on the head, bringing him back to reality from his excited state.
Then, he saw a scene that he could not understand at all:
Yin Kong showed him the coffee in his cup, with a layer of undiluted milk clearly floating on top.
Chapter 225 Betrayal
"No! How is this possible?!"
Conan's eyes widened instantly when he saw the coffee with milk in Yin Kong's cup, his expression completely as if he had seen a ghost.
Did Yin Kong write it wrong?
Or did Professor Agasa simply not understand his hint?
"I don't eat beef."
Seeing Conan's brain completely shut down and unable to think, Yin Kong smiled slightly and looked at Professor Agasa, saying:
"No, it should be that I don't drink milk, Doctor. Why are you adding milk for me?"
Professor Agasa looked at Conan with some sympathy, thinking that Shinichi was truly "lucky" to have such parents, and then pretended to be puzzled and asked:
"Wait, didn't you, Yin Kong, tell me to add milk to your coffee? As long as I'm not being threatened, I'll add milk to your coffee..."
"But why am I being threatened? Is this another detective game you and Conan are playing?"
Conan stared at Professor Agasa, almost wondering if he was hallucinating.
Because only when there is no threat will the doctor carelessly bring this matter out into the open.
Otherwise, even if he didn't trust Yin Kong, he would never have taken the initiative to expose this secret.
"Of course it's not a detective game. It's because Conan insisted that you were being threatened that we did this."
Upon hearing this, Paimon immediately stuffed the rest of the blueberry cupcakes into his mouth and said angrily:
"Hey, Conan, what do you have to say now?"
She could have eaten a whole bunch of delicious cakes, but because of Conan's insistence, she didn't get to eat any!
However, before Conan could answer, she had already raised her chin and said disdainfully:
"Forget it, it's no use saying anything this time. Yin Kong, let's go. Don't pay any more attention to this liar."
Seeing that Yin Kong was really about to get up and leave, Conan finally came to his senses, grabbed his sleeve, and pleaded:
"Brother Yin Kong, I really didn't lie, please believe me! Oh no, if you leave me here alone, Watashi—"
Unfortunately, this time, he only received an extremely cold response.
Yin Kong pulled back the hem of his clothes, his expression indifferent:
"So, Conan, all you ever think about is yourself."
Paimon echoed:
"That's right, that's right. We're very busy and don't have much free time to play around with you."
"I'm so sorry!" Conan was about to speak when Professor Agasa covered his mouth. "Conan really did something very wrong this time. I'll tell his parents to discipline him properly..."
"I hope so." Yin Kong shook his head, seemingly unconcerned. "Since it was just a false alarm, we won't bother you any longer."
As Yin Kong and Paimon disappeared one after another outside the door, Conan's heart sank into an abyss of despair.
Upon realizing that Professor Agasa had released him, Conan turned around abruptly, staring at him in disbelief.
"Doctor, why did you do this?!"
Dr. Agasa looked away somewhat awkwardly.
"Well-"
“Of course, it’s because we made him do it.” Fumiyo Edogawa slowly walked down the stairs, letting out her classic villainous laugh. “What can I get from helping you besides danger? But working for the organization brings countless benefits.”
Dr. Agasa also said with a guilty expression:
"I'm sorry, Shinichi, I originally wanted to refuse firmly, but they offered just too much. And if I didn't do this, I might already be..."
Conan stood there, stunned, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Clearly, Professor Agasa's "betrayal" dealt him a far more profound blow than when he was poisoned by the Black Organization and turned into a child.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was unforgettable.
"Surrender, kid." Kudo Yusaku, disguised as the Dark Baron, also quietly appeared behind Conan, blocking his escape route. "Don't bother trying any more tricks. I've already confirmed that those two have left."
"Hmph, they talked so big, but we still easily fooled them."
Upon hearing this, Fumiyo Edogawa couldn't help but let out a smug hum.
Kudo Yusaku, however, gently shook his head and said:
"No, he's already incredibly capable. It's just that who would have thought Professor Agasa would choose to abandon darkness and embrace the light?"
