Chapter 257 No One Died

Because they were tightly bound by Hisaki Shinobu, Yin Kong and Paimon didn't get to see Uemura Naoki's standard procedure of crying, kneeling, and repenting.

No, this guy's calf was broken by a kick, and he's still in a cast. He can't even kneel down if he wants to.

Of course, after being caught, he honestly confessed his motives.

Just as Akagi Ryoko guessed, Uemura Naoki was indeed resentful that Akagi Hideo had kicked him, causing him to be unable to participate in the competition.

They even suspected that the other person was actually jealous of them and that's why they did it on purpose.

Therefore, he also planned to retaliate by kidnapping Akagi Mamoru to threaten Akagi Hideo, so that he would also be unable to perform well in the game.

However, his revenge was limited to this.

After all, he just wanted to vent his anger, not actually give up his career.

After Akagi Hideo's match ends, he will take Akagi directly home...

"real or fake?"

However, Yin Kong looked at him with a strange expression.

After all, if Mamoru Akagi were really released, wouldn't Naoki Uemura's identity as a "kidnapper" be directly exposed?

Unless Akagi Hideo is willing to generously forgive him, even if he isn't sent directly to jail, wouldn't his career be completely over?

Or does this person think that if he refuses to admit it, Akagi Hideo can't do anything about it?

"Whether or not to call the police is up to Miss Akagi to decide."

Under normal circumstances, Yin Kong might have been interested in learning more about this feud.

But now, his main focus has naturally shifted to the massive explosion that had just shot into the sky.

In fact, it wasn't just Yin Kong; the entire city was in turmoil, even a state of mild panic.

"It's strange, why has Beika Town been so unsettled lately?"

Even Uncle Mori, who was already lying on the sofa drinking beer and watching TV, was completely baffled at this moment.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Kong called Inspector Megure to inquire about the general situation.

Unfortunately, the officer said that the Metropolitan Police Department is also currently in a state of confusion, or rather, overwhelmed.

Just by looking at the huge fireball rising, everyone could tell that this explosion could not possibly be a simple accident.

Even conventional blasting would be almost impossible to achieve such an exaggerated scale.

Unfortunately, their anxiety is useless now, as the scene is still engulfed in flames.

They can only seal off the entire area and focus all their efforts on fighting the fire before they can officially begin the investigation.

However, Inspector Megure still revealed some information to Yoon Sora.

After all, if they fail to find any clues, they might have to trouble this Brother Yin Kong again.

The epicenter of the explosion was likely a construction site on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Fortunately, they hadn't had time to hold a groundbreaking ceremony, so apart from five workers on duty suffering serious injuries, the explosion did not cause any real casualties.

Yin Kong's expression was slightly strange.

In the real world, he would probably already be reminding Inspector Megure to thoroughly investigate the construction site owner.

It wasn't that he was gloating, but the fact that no one died in such a large-scale explosion was a bit too much of a coincidence.

However, the thought that this was a Conan film set made Yin Kong a little uncertain.

After all, in his memory, this kind of situation, where a big firework explodes but no one is injured except for the unlucky victim, is not uncommon in the Conan series, especially in the theatrical versions.

At this moment, Inspector Megure clearly didn't have time to chat with Yoon Sora, and quickly hung up the phone after giving some basic information.

Yin Kong thought for a moment, then teleported directly to the pharmaceutical factory.

There was no way around it; even though, strictly speaking, he was now the new boss of the distillery, he naturally thought of the Black Organization first when faced with such a "world-shaking" event.

If Rum were still alive, he would be very happy right now.

Because he should have been dealing with the aftermath of the armed helicopter incident, which was obviously a very troublesome matter.

But with this sudden turn of events, it's likely that the various factions won't be fixated on a mere armed helicopter anytime soon.

Ye Lan didn't seem too surprised by Yin Kong's arrival:

"You came because of the explosion just now?"

Yin Kong nodded and asked:

"That's right. Do you have any specific information?"

Although Ye Lan only brought the Black Organization under her control yesterday, she is probably still in the process of reorganizing her internal affairs and has not yet had time to expand her intelligence network, but Yin Kong still hopes that she might know something.

Unfortunately, even the intelligence chief of Liyue shook his head helplessly:

"Unfortunately, I probably don't know more than the Metropolitan Police Department right now. But one thing is for sure: this matter has nothing to do with us or the remnants of the Black Organization."

She took temporary control of the Black Organization with swift and decisive action, and will gradually reorganize it into the Phantom Troupe.

However, it is clear that a considerable number of members are not willing to comply.

They are gathering together openly and secretly, wanting to restore the glory of the Black Organization, which is also the focus of Ye Lan's efforts during this period.

"Is it alright? That's good."

Yin Kong nodded slightly at first, but soon became curious.

If it's neither myself nor the Black Organization, then who could possibly cause such a commotion?

Having finished discussing the important matters, Ye Lan also reminded him:

"By the way, Yin Kong, the people you arranged to meet yesterday have all arrived. Shall we go see them now?"

Yin Kong was slightly surprised, since there was still at least half an hour until the agreed time. The fact that they had come so early showed that they really took his agreement to heart.

Yin Kong naturally wouldn't refuse, but he soon noticed that Ye Lan had also stood up from her chair, seemingly intending to go with him to see them, so he couldn't help but ask:

"Is Yelan also interested in them?"

Yelan had no intention of hiding anything:

"Yes, after all, these three should all be promising talents with the necessary abilities. Yin Kong, you know my current situation. If I could find one or two capable subordinates, that would be even better."

In any case, she has now basically given up on the idea of ​​"discovering talent" within the organization.

Yin Kong reminded him:

"I see, but I don't think the chances are very high."

Leaving aside Ms. Yoko and Yukinoshita, they are both quite satisfied with their current lives, and their daily routines are relatively busy.

Yin Kong felt that it was unlikely that any of them would join the Phantom Troupe.

The most likely candidate is Director Ochiai.

However, if there's a chance to develop him into an informant for the Phantom Troupe, that would be quite good?

Chapter 258 A mere fatal injury

The location that Yin Kong and Ms. Yangzi agreed to meet was naturally not at the pharmaceutical factory.

After all, he had already made plans to prevent the [Rabbit House] from having too direct a connection with the [Phantom Troupe] on the surface.

Therefore, the training was held at the newly opened [Iwasaka Tea House].

With Ye Lan's methods, naturally no one could find out the connection between this shop and the Phantom Troupe.

"Sorry for the long wait, all three of you."

When Yin Kong and Ye Lan arrived, they found the atmosphere to be fairly harmonious, with everyone discussing the massive explosion that had just occurred.

The combination of a popular idol, an art museum director, and a high school girl certainly seems a bit odd.

Fortunately, all three of them are fairly easy to get along with.

At least in front of Yin Kong, she is easy to get along with.

"No, no, I just arrived too early."

Director Ochiai was the first to answer.

He looked at Ye Lan, who was walking side by side with Yin Kong, and asked curiously:

"Who is this——?"

"Ye Lan, the owner of Yan Shang Tea House."

After introducing herself to the three, Ye Lan's gaze immediately fell on Yukino Yukinoshita, and she smiled slightly:

"Miss Yukinoshita, we meet again."

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately returned the greeting:

"Hello, Miss Yelan."

Of the three, she was the only one who had ever met Ye Lan.

Not only had she met him, but he had also protected her during an attack by abyssal monsters.

Could this be their instructor?

Recalling Ye Lan's elegant and swift skills, Xue Shita couldn't help but feel even more excited.

Noticing the expectation in Yukinoshita's eyes, Yoran nodded slightly in her heart, then looked at Yoko Okino:

"And Miss Yoko, I've heard so much about you."

What a beautiful person!

Although she was already used to the outrageous good looks of the agents at the Rabbit House, Yoko Okino couldn't help but sigh inwardly after seeing Yelan.

Perhaps it's because Ye Lan possesses a captivating charm that none of the other agents she's ever seen have.

“However, the teacher for the three of you this time is not me, but Ms. Hisaki Shinobu.” After introducing themselves, Yelan shook her head and showed a friendly smile. “As for me, I actually want to talk to the three of you about cooperation.”

Yin Kong felt that of the three, only Director Ochiai had a chance of joining the Phantom Troupe, but she didn't think so.

Although it was just a brief conversation, Ye Lan already had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Even if these three people in front of her can't become her right-hand men in this world, they are definitely promising talents worth nurturing.

Moreover, persuading them to join the Phantom Troupe is probably not as difficult as Yin Kong imagined.

"Come with me."

Yin Kong was unaware of Ye Lan's thoughts, and he quickly led everyone to the training room.

The system's teaching functions are actually not complicated to use, or rather, extremely simple.

After confirming the location of the selected personnel, Yin Kong then instructed Jiuqi Ren, who was the [instructor], to lead the three [students] in normal practice in the training room.

From start to finish, all he needed to do was prepare the venue funds and then click around with his fingers.

Once the resources are in place, the rest is up to the system's divine power.

However, just as Yin Kong was about to make a final confirmation, his movements suddenly stopped.

Ye Lan also noticed something amiss, and the two of them looked at the mirror in the tea room almost simultaneously:

While Director Ochiai was only slightly puzzled by their actions, Ms. Yoko and Yukino Yukinoshita were quite different.

Especially Yukino Yukinoshita, who just went through what happened yesterday, is now very sensitive to everything in the mirror.

Under their tense gaze, the originally perfectly normal mirror surface suddenly began to ripple as if it had turned into water.

Then, a dark shadow flew out of the mirror and rolled over to them.

"This is--!?"

Upon seeing the true appearance of the dark figure, Yoko and Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively wanted to scream.

Fortunately, they had all had extraordinary experiences, so they covered their mouths tightly with their hands before the screams could escape their throats.

Even so, their expressions remained one of extreme terror.
