Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Hisaki remained silent, showing no intention of responding.

Conan paused for a moment, finally noticing the change in atmosphere, and abruptly turned to look at Yin Kong:

“Yin Kong, they really are my parents, not my enemies.”

Yin Kong smiled slightly and said slowly:

"Of course I know these three are your parents' friends, but you seem to have misunderstood something, Kudo-kun. That doesn't mean they aren't my enemies."

Or to be more precise, it is precisely because they are your parents, relatives, and beloved friends that they are my enemies. Do you understand?

"Your...enemy?"

At this point, Conan finally came to his senses. He stared blankly at the calm-faced Yin Kong, his expression one of disbelief.

"Could it be that you're also a member of the Black Organization? But didn't you capture him—"

Halfway through the conversation, Conan realized the crux of the problem.

Who says that just because someone captures a member of the Black Organization, they can't be a member of the Black Organization themselves?

As an international criminal organization, isn't it perfectly normal for members of the distillery to scheme against each other and kick each other when they're down?

However, Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"I'm very sorry, you guessed wrong. I am not a member of that organization."

Conan looked puzzled, even more confused:

"If that's the case, then why do you still—"

Yin Kong, however, looked at Kudo Yusaku:

"It seems Mr. Yusaku already has an answer in mind. In that case, why not speak freely?"

Reminded by Yin Kong, Conan suddenly realized that his father, Kudo Yusaku, had barely spoken since the beginning, which was clearly abnormal.

Noticing that everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on him, Yusaku Kudo sighed and asked:

"Is it because of that medicine?"

Yin Kong looked approving:

"As expected of a world-renowned mystery novelist, he has grasped the key point so quickly."

From the moment I appeared, you've avoided calling your son Shinichi, probably out of fear of the current situation. Too bad—"

According to Yusaku Kudo's idea, Conan is actually his unknown youngest son, Shinichi Kudo's younger brother, who is the most protected.

Unfortunately, Yin Kong's appearance was too sudden, and Professor Agasa and Yukiko Kudo obviously did not notice his hint.

"To turn back the clock and regain youth—how tempting is that?"

As a living example, Kudo-kun, you can easily guess what kind of crazy wave will be triggered once your existence is made public.

What price would those decrepit tycoons be willing to pay to get you?

Ten billion? Or one hundred billion?

Under Conan's stunned gaze, Yin Kong curled his lips into a smile that sent chills down Conan's spine.

"And what golden qualities would I need to give up this immense wealth that is so readily available?"

Chapter 228 Opportunity

"What golden qualities would it take to give up such readily available wealth?"

After hearing Yin Kong's words, the scene fell into a deathly silence once again.

Conan, in particular, felt as if he were in an ice cave, even though the heating in Professor Agasa's house was turned up high. He was covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were freezing cold in the middle of winter.

When Yin Kong was a teammate, he was so reliable and trustworthy. So how terrifying and how desperate he became when his identity was reversed and he became an enemy?

Conan could hardly believe that he had been betrayed for the second time in just half a day. Although the first betrayal was just a disguise by Professor Agasa, it was still enough to leave a deep impression on him.

"Is it just because of—money?"

He looked at Yin Kong in disbelief, thinking that he shouldn't be the kind of person who would be so easily blinded by money.

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow and said:

"What do you mean by 'merely'? Kudo-kun, you should be asking if this isn't enough?"

"Mr. Yusaku, Ms. Yukiko, would you please allow me a little of your precious time for parent-child lessons?"

Yukiko Kudo remained silent. As a former star who had worked in the entertainment industry and was once very popular, how could she not understand the allure of money?

There's no need for the billions or trillions that Yin Kong mentioned. There are plenty of global movie stars who would tear off their masks and make a fool of themselves over a few hundred million, tens of millions, or even just a few million US dollars.

Therefore, she understands even more that in the face of money, no amount of words will seem pale and powerless.

In contrast, Yusaku Kudo was clearly much calmer:

"No matter how much money you have, it can't compare to a kind and upright character. My husband and I are very satisfied with Shinichi's upbringing, Mr. Yoon-kong."

After calming Conan down with a single sentence, he looked at Yin Kong and asked in return:

"But I have a small question. Since Mr. Yin Kong is so aware of the power of money, how do you guarantee that you can get it safely?"

Those who can come up with such funds, whether powerful or wealthy, are certainly not people to be easily exploited. Why would they be willing to obediently trade with you?

It could even be said that there are very few wealthy and powerful individuals in the entire world who are qualified to come up with such a large sum of cash.

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with interest:

"Mr. Yusaku, do you think we can't protect your precious son?"

Yusaku Kudo said in a deep voice:

"I just hope you can think twice. Of course I know Mr. Yin Kong is very strong, but even if those forces are only willing to offer one-tenth or even one percent of the funds as a bounty, it would be enough to attract all the world's top mercenaries, right?"

Not to mention, some of these groups are far more powerful than any mercenary group.

What Kudo Yusaku was referring to was, of course, the Five Great Thugs.

No matter how elite a private armed force is, how can it compare to a regular army?

Once Yin Kong proves that Conan's return to youth is not a fabricated rumor, then several major powers will definitely not mind personally getting involved in the competition.

As for how things will turn out, only God knows.

"Even if Mr. Yin Kong is confident in dealing with a portion of the private armed forces, can he possibly deal with everyone at once?"

Yin Kong couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed in admiration.

"As expected of a novelist, your eloquence is truly remarkable. I feel like I'm almost convinced by you."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Yusaku's heart sank, because if he wasn't mistaken, Yin Kong was about to say "but."

And that was indeed the case; Yin Kong quickly shook his head and said:

"It's a pity that our Rabbit House is probably a little bit better than Mr. Yusaku estimated."

Furthermore, I have made thorough preparations to ensure my safe exit, but the specifics, of course, cannot be revealed to you all.

This guy is way too confident, isn't he?

Yusaku Kudo frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't really believe that anyone in the world could come up with a foolproof plan while facing several major powers at the same time.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed to encounter such an arrogant and conceited opponent.

But now he couldn't laugh at all, since the two sides were so close at hand, and Yin Kong had overwhelming martial prowess.

Kudo Yusaku knew very well that no matter what he said now, Yin Kong was unlikely to listen.

But if he were allowed to continue down this path, regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, his entire family would be doomed.

However, just as Kudo Yusaku was inevitably feeling despair, Yin Kong suddenly spoke up:

"However, I am actually a good person in every way, except for one flaw: I am very sentimental. So, for Xiaolan's sake, I can give you a chance."

What does it mean to say "for Xiaolan's sake"?

The first to react was naturally Conan.

He glared fiercely at Yin Kong, almost growling in a low voice:

"You bastard, are you going to lay a hand on Xiaolan again?"

"Don't worry, Kudo-kun, I truly consider Ran as my half-brother, and I would never lay a hand on her."

Seeing Conan's little face puffed up like a pufferfish, Yin Kong found it particularly amusing and chuckled:

"Originally, I set a price of 30 billion US dollars for you. But for the sake of my brotherhood, if you can pay me 6 billion US dollars directly, I can let you go and pretend this never happened... How about that? I've saved you more than 20 billion US dollars in one go. Is there anyone in this world more loyal and righteous than me?"

"You're just trying to reduce the risk, aren't you?"

Conan saw through Yin Kong's intentions at a glance and said coldly.

As Yusaku Kudo said, dealing with powerful forces is far too dangerous; if it were just about extorting them, the risks would be incomparable.

However, the hope that had just appeared in Yukiko Kudo's eyes was extinguished in an instant.

Six billion yen—they could probably scrape together that much by piecing it together from various sources.

But do you really think the Kudo family is the Suzuki Group, with six billion US dollars?

However, Yusaku Kudo coldly said:

"No, I can only come up with two or three billion at most, and I'll need a lot of time to take out loans and sell assets..."

This is of course a lie, because even if it were two or three billion US dollars, their family couldn't possibly come up with it even if they went bankrupt and took out loans like crazy.

But at this moment, only by agreeing can one have room to maneuver with Yin Kong.

Of course, if one were to agree without hesitation, it would most likely arouse Yin Kong's suspicion.

If Yin Kong is truly so greedy, then he shouldn't be letting go of those two or three billion US dollars no matter what, and perhaps I can take advantage of this opportunity—

However, Yin Kong's reaction once again surprised Kudo Yusaku, because he simply clicked his tongue and said with a regretful expression:

"It seems you can only disappoint my good intentions."

Chapter 229 Bet

They actually refused?!

Yusaku Kudo, who was already planning how to send out the distress signal discreetly, was greatly shocked.

Could it be that he's already figured out I was saying that on purpose?

Otherwise, why would they have chosen to refuse without even trying to probe?

To lure Yin Kong into his trap, Kudo Yusaku not only carefully selected the amount of money involved, but also deliberately acted unusually tough.

Therefore, this would actually make him seem a little guilty, and leave room for negotiation.

However, Yin Kong's refusal rendered all his clever ideas useless.

If this person truly sensed his intentions, then his insight is perhaps a little too terrifying.

Yusaku Kudo's gaze was serious, his mind racing.

Indeed, although Yin Kong seems greedy and arrogant based on his current performance, since he can even convince his proud and arrogant son, he must be more than just a fighter.

"Ring ring ring..."

Just then, Yin Kong's phone suddenly rang.

He was slightly surprised to see the caller's name.

Yin Kong thought for a moment and then immediately answered the call.

Inspector Megure's voice remained as kind as ever:

"Hey, is this Brother Yin Kong?"

Yin Kong adjusted his tone and asked with a smile:

"It's me, Inspector Megure. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Inspector Megure?!

Upon hearing the name, Conan's eyes lit up with delight.
