At this point, he pulled a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at Conan's forehead, and asked:
"Now that things have come to this, do you have any last words to say, Detective?"
"Wait!" Before Conan could answer, Fumiyo Edogawa exclaimed excitedly, "Didn't the higher-ups say that his drug side effects were an exception and that we had to bring him back to the organization?"
She hasn't had enough fun yet!
Moreover, they had designed many parent-child interactive activities beforehand, and even set up an abandoned house for escape room games. How could they just waste it like this?
"Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who knows the organization's secrets can't survive. If you stop me, there will be another corpse here."
Kudo Yusaku, disguised as the Dark Baron, pointed a gun at Professor Agasa and said:
"Besides, this doctor should have very detailed records of this kid's physical data, so taking him back with those records is the same thing."
Kudo Yusaku's meaning is also very simple: although they successfully tricked Yin Kong and Paimon, who were accidentally involved, through Professor Agasa's "betrayal", they also brought the game into its final countdown.
The reason is simple: after Professor Agasa's "betrayal," he had to reveal the truth to Conan on the spot.
If things really went according to their original plan, involving another battle of wits, escape, and pursuit, then even if they revealed the truth and told Conan that Professor Agasa's betrayal was just an act, some of the emotional damage that had already occurred could not be undone.
"Then, say your last words."
Feeling the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his brow, Shinichi Kudo gritted his teeth and said:
"You bunch of bastards, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
"Perhaps, but you'll likely never see that day." The Dark Baron sneered, speaking with unbridled pleasure, "Farewell, Detective—"
Just as Conan was in utter despair and the Dark Baron was about to pull the trigger, a throwing knife suddenly flew out from the side of the two of them, easily piercing the pistol he was holding, and the force of the knife sent the pistol flying out of his hand.
"Wh-what?!"
Kudo Yusaku was shocked to see the replica gun nailed directly to the wall.
Chapter 226 Identity
"Wh-what!?"
Kudo Yusaku's face, hidden beneath the mask, was naturally filled with shock.
Although he was only holding a replica gun, in order to prevent Conan from noticing any flaws, its material and weight were exactly the same as a real handgun.
What kind of throwing knife could pierce through steel so easily and pin it to the wall?
"Hiruzen-neechan!"
Seeing the mysterious female ninja who appeared silently behind the Dark Baron like a ghost, Conan was speechless with joy.
All I can say is that the ups and downs of life are just too exciting, so exciting that he almost burst into tears.
"Wait a minute—"
The sudden appearance of Shinobu Hisaki made Yusaku Kudo realize the danger instantly, and he immediately decided to reveal his identity.
Unfortunately, Ah Ren's actions were faster than his voice.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three ropes shot out simultaneously, instantly wrapping around Baron Dark Night, Fumiyo Edogawa, and Professor Agasa several times.
"Behave yourself!"
With a forceful pull, the three of them felt an overwhelming power pull them together and tie them up.
From the moment they nearly scared Conan to the sudden reversal of fortune, when he was bound tightly without any resistance, only a few seconds had passed.
Apart from the quick-witted Yusaku Kudo, neither Yukiko Kudo, who was disguised as Fumiyo Edogawa, nor Professor Agasa could react to what had just happened until Shinobu pulled her throwing knife off the wall.
"I really didn't expect that coming back just to check on things would lead to such an unexpected gain." While they were still looking on in bewilderment, Yin Kong slowly walked down the stairs, looked at the touched Conan, and asked with a smile, "Hey, Conan, do you need any help?"
"Brother Yin Kong!" Having been betrayed by his most trusted Professor Agasa and then miraculously saved from defeat, Conan's excitement at this moment was beyond imagination. "Did you discover something was wrong?"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph." Paimon shook his finger smugly and said with a proud look, "We are well-traveled travelers, and with his best friend Paimon, we knew something was wrong with you scoundrels the first time we met! So, ma'am, do you still dare to say we're nothing special?"
Fumiyo Edogawa: ...
She never expected that the slap in the face would come so suddenly.
Of course, the one who suffered the most among the three was Professor Agasa, who felt like he was being tied up so tightly that he could hardly breathe:
"Wait, Mr. Yin Kong, let me explain!"
However, Conan, whose heart had been broken by him, looked utterly grief-stricken.
"You don't need to explain, Doctor. The law will give you a fair judgment."
"That's not how it is!" Professor Agasa was naturally speechless. He looked at Baron Dark Night and reminded him, "Yusaku, you should say something, or we'll have to explain ourselves in the police station."
Upon hearing this name, Conan seemed to finally realize the crux of the problem, and he froze in shock.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Yin Kong, but I am indeed the father of this child.” At this point, Kudo Yusaku could only sigh and introduce himself, “We originally just planned to give him a little surprise, but we didn’t expect to involve you in this.”
"Dad? You're kidding, right?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Conan ran up to Baron Darkness with an incredulous expression and removed the ridiculous mask from his face.
Then, he saw that incredibly familiar face.
The other party was indeed his father, the world-renowned mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo.
"In that case, this person must be—"
Noticing Yin Kong's gaze, Hisagi Shinobu immediately walked up to Edogawa Fumiyo, reached out and tore off the disguise mask from her face, revealing her beautiful face beneath her originally plump appearance.
Faced with the incredulous look in her biological son's eyes, Yukiko Kudo chuckled awkwardly:
"Shinichi, do you miss your mom?"
Now that things have come to this, how could Conan still not understand the cause and effect of the matter?
No wonder Professor Agasa "betrayed" him; it turns out this was all a trap he set for himself!
Behind Conan, it seemed as if a raging fire had already broken out:
"The three of you actually call this a surprise?"
If he could, he really wanted to punch each of those heartless couples in the face right now.
"Hehehe..." Seeing this, Yukiko Kudo immediately decided to use her best skill, a silly laugh, to get away with it. "It's just that we haven't seen each other for too long, and I wanted to get closer to you, right? Who would have thought that you would make such amazing friends? So, can you let go of Mom now?"
At this point, Yukiko Kudo looked at Yoon Sora with surprise, as well as Shinobu Hisaki standing silently beside him.
She was quite worldly-wise, but she had never seen such fierce skill before.
Before this, Yukiko Kudo had always thought that such skills might only exist in movies and TV shows.
Conan really wanted to answer:
You deserve it, just keep me tied up like this!
He could already imagine that if he hadn't been lucky enough to run into Yin Kong, he would have been driven to despair by this unscrupulous couple.
Unfortunately, they are still his parents. Conan sighed and looked at Yin Kong:
"Brother Yin Kong, these two are indeed my parents. This is just a misunderstanding. Could you please let them go?"
To Conan's surprise, Yin Kong didn't untie the three of them immediately. Instead, he sat down on the sofa and observed them with interest.
"Before the restrictions are lifted, I have a small question. I wonder if the four of you could answer it for me?"
Conan asked, puzzled:
"Brother Yin Kong, what's the problem?"
"Naturally, it's your identity." Yin Kong remained noncommittal and asked, "The world-renowned mystery novelist Yusaku Kudo and the once-popular and beautiful actress Yukiko Fujimine, if I remember correctly, you are Shinichi Kudo's parents, and Shinichi Kudo is also your only child, right? You two wouldn't tell me that this is actually your illegitimate child, would you?"
It was only then that Conan belatedly realized that his true identity seemed to have been exposed.
Aside from Yusaku Kudo, both Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo subconsciously called him Shinichi.
Given Yin Kong's keen observation skills, even if he were to reveal that he is actually an illegitimate child, he probably wouldn't be able to fool him.
However, Conan was surprised to find that he not only did not feel resistant to telling the other party his identity, but also felt a sense of relief.
Perhaps it's because my own experience just now has profoundly illustrated how fortunate it is to have such a teammate.
At the same time, even his father, whom he had always thought was difficult to defeat, was defeated by the enemy.
Chapter 227 Golden Spirit
Yin Kong looked at Conan and gave him a meaningful smile:
"So that's how it is. So something like that actually happened at the amusement park that day..."
"No wonder I thought you were acting strange back then. So you're that high school detective! That makes sense, that makes no difference."
Conan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and explained:
"I'm sorry, I had no choice but to conceal my identity. By the way, Yin Kong! Didn't you just capture members of that organization not long ago? You must have obtained a lot of valuable intelligence, right?"
At this point, Conan looked at Yin Kong with anticipation.
Great! Now that I've revealed my identity, I can finally ask for information openly and honestly without having to resort to indirect methods.
It's unclear whether Kogoro Mouri's vigilance was too poor or Yin Kong's was too high, but the cute and witty conversation techniques he had honed at the Mouri Detective Agency, which had always worked on Inspector Megure, were repeatedly thwarted at the Sly Rabbit House and he almost never succeeded.
Yin Kong was not surprised at all:
"Oh, you mean the distillery—"
Conan was taken aback and asked in confusion:
"A distillery? Is that the organization's official name? But it doesn't sound like it."
Yin Kong explained:
"Of course not, because I just made it up on the spot. You see, their official members all use various types of alcohol as code names, so calling it 'the winery' is very fitting, isn't it?"
Of course, before Yin Kong transmigrated, the [winery] had already become a [waterworks].
"That's true."
Conan nodded, thinking that Yin Kong made some sense.
Of course, what he cares about most right now is those secret intelligence reports.
Yin Kong simply shook his head slightly, saying with a regretful expression:
"Unfortunately, the guys I caught were tough nuts to crack. The police didn't get any valuable information out of them, and not long after, they were taken away by the Japanese Public Security Bureau for a secret investigation."
Conan was taken aback, as this was clearly the first time he had heard of such news, and he quickly asked:
"Have the police found any leads?"
Yin Kong shrugged:
"I'm not entirely sure about that. Do you really think they would share intelligence with a foreigner like me?"
Conan was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Yin Kong said made a lot of sense, so he was speechless.
He thought he had finally obtained important information, but now it seems he still knows almost nothing.
"Um—" Just as Conan was feeling disappointed, Professor Agasa finally couldn't help but interrupt their conversation, whispering, "Mr. Yin Kong, could you please untie us before you start discussing this?"
It was one thing for Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo, but for someone his size to be bound by ropes must have been incredibly uncomfortable.
"You three deserved it!"
Conan snorted, clearly still resentful of his unscrupulous parents' scheming.
Of course, although he verbally refused, his actions betrayed him, and he immediately tried to untie the ropes for the three of them, but—
Conan was stunned.
Just as he reached out to untie the knot, a gleaming short sword appeared in front of him and pressed precisely against his brow.
It turned out that Hisaki Shinobu, who had been standing quietly in place as if she were just a background figure, suddenly moved. She drew the short sword from her waist and instantly pointed the blade at Conan's forehead.
Even without saying a word, the threat emanating from her was already obvious.
The cold, sharp edge of the sword seemed to emanate an invisible aura of sharpness, instantly sending goosebumps down Conan's spine and causing his brain to freeze again, leaving him momentarily unable to react.
"Sister Hisaki Shinobu, what are you doing?"
