Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Sato was also completely confused:

“That’s right. According to Attorney Fei’s calculations, from the time Miss Chi Ze arrived at the apartment, was murdered, to the time she called the police, the whole process should not have taken more than twenty minutes. How could two living people be turned into this state in such a short time?”

Anyone who has ever committed murder knows very well that killing someone is easy, but disposing of the body is difficult. Properly handling a corpse is no easy task.

In particular, both of their skins remained largely intact, except for the fact that their internal blood and tissues had completely disappeared.

According to their internal estimates, even professionals would find it difficult to accomplish such a task in less than three to five days.

"Does the police have no clue either?"

Eri Kisaki wasn't surprised, after all, she knew very well just how powerful the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department really was.

At this point, the lawyer suddenly turned his gaze to Yin Kong:

"Mr. Yin Kong, what are your thoughts?"

Yin Kong's actions in clearing Fujie Akiyoshi of suspicion inevitably reminded her of one of her daughter's childhood sweethearts.

Compared to the young, impetuous, and flamboyant Shinichi Kudo, Eri Kisaki clearly found Yoon Sora much more pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, although she stepped forward to help clear the two of their suspicions, the lawyer's doubts were not completely dispelled.

After all, even if Yin Kong and Okino Yoko didn't personally carry out the murder, she had already handled more than one case of hiring someone to commit murder.

Although Yin Kong was somewhat surprised, he quickly shook his head and said:

"To be honest, I have never seen such a bizarre way of dying."

He pointed to the dent he had made in the wall and the huge claw mark left by the "Hundred-Faced Witch," and slowly said:

"Were these traces really left by humans?"

Sato and Takagi exchanged a glance, and naturally understood what Yin Kong meant.

In fact, the police also suspected that the killer might not be a human at all, but some kind of large beast.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have mobilized so many people to seal off the entire apartment building.

Unfortunately, their search was destined to be fruitless.

Eri Kisaki pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a white light, and said noncommittally:

"Mr. Yin Kong, are you suggesting that the murderer is a legendary monster?"

Yin Kong immediately denied it, saying:

"That's not what I meant, of course. It's just that the scene here does remind me of a legend from my hometown."

Eri Kisaki frowned slightly and pressed for an answer:

"I wonder what legend it is?"

Yin Kong slowly said:

"Legend has it that there is a demon called the Painted Skin Demon. It has a blue face and fangs, and is ferocious and hideous. But it usually wears human skin and disguises itself as a beautiful human woman. It lures men to deserted places, and then reveals its true form and eats them..."

To be fair, Painted Skin isn't exactly a very scary story.

However, Yin Kong's description and the traces at the crime scene were just too similar.

Especially the two corpses, now just skin and bones, were still lying on the ground, staring at them with their eyes wide open in death.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, making everyone shudder and feel a chill creeping up from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as the atmosphere in the room fell into an eerie silence because of Yin Kong's narration, the sudden arguing in the elevator made everyone unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

They quickly figured out the source of the argument: Yuko Ikezawa's father had arrived.

However, this person seems to be a gambling addict, and Yuko Ikezawa's mother also ran away when she was young because she couldn't stand the domestic violence.

Upon hearing the news of his biological daughter's death, this guy showed no grief whatsoever; instead, he saw an opportunity to extort a large sum of money.

So when the police told him that there was no way to get compensation until the murderer was caught, the guy was naturally extremely dissatisfied and started making a scene in the elevator.

Of course, after realizing that his tantrums and bullying were completely useless against the police, the guy left grumbling.

He couldn't even be bothered to look at the corpse of his own daughter.

In contrast, Sakae Yamagishi's situation was slightly better.

His parents passed away early, and although he had been married, he divorced several years ago. His child has been living with his ex-wife, and they rarely see each other.

The so-called family ties have long since faded.

At least, Yin Kong did not sense much sadness from the mother and son.

After seeing off two groups of family members, the heavily pregnant Inspector Megure finally arrived late.

Chapter 27 Withdrawing

"Attorney Fei, you're here too?"

Inspector Megure wiped the sweat from his brow, looked around the scene, and unexpectedly spotted several familiar figures.

The officer's expression inevitably became subtle when he saw Eri Kisaki.

Because he had just seen Ran Mouri in the roller coaster case, and now he had actually seen her mother.

Am I going head-to-head with the Mori family?

Inspector Megure felt a bad premonition rising in his heart. Was he going to encounter another case today and run into Kogoro Mouri, that idiot former colleague?

No, no, no, how could there be such a bizarre coincidence in this world?

Inspector Megure shook his head inwardly, thinking he must be overthinking things.

Thanks to their efforts, Beika Town has always been a hospitable and kind place with simple and honest people. Where would so many heinous crimes come from?

Before experiencing the trials of numerous cases that would follow, Inspector Megure, still somewhat naive, clearly did not have a clear understanding of how sinister the main characters were.

"In short, those two missing people are likely prime suspects, right?"

Inspector Megure quickly reviewed the compiled case summary, but his expression became even more troubled.

"If we submit a report like this, will the higher-ups really believe it?"

If the crime scene hadn't been right in front of him, and he hadn't witnessed these unbelievable traces with his own eyes, his first reaction upon seeing these case records would probably have been to call Sato Takagi over, give him a good scolding, and make him rewrite them.

Noticing that Yin Kong seemed to have something to say, Inspector Megure immediately asked:

"Brother Yin Kong, have you found any clues?"

Inspector Megure had a very good impression of Yoon Sora, who had helped them solve a murder case, and his way of addressing him gradually changed from "Mr. Yoon Sora" to the more intimate "Brother Yoon Sora".

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation as the legendary younger brother who possesses a Devil Fruit ability.

After a moment of reflection, Yin Kong finally seized the opportunity to reveal the true purpose of his trip:

"Inspector Megure, doesn't the police have a department specifically for dealing with these kinds of cases? Like the Demon Slayer Corps, the Seireitei, or mysterious organizations like Kamen Rider?"

Upon hearing this question, Inspector Megure stood there stunned for several seconds before realizing what Yin Kong meant, and said speechlessly:

Why do young people these days like to watch all sorts of weird and strange things?

Unfortunately, the mysterious organizations you mentioned only exist in movies and comics; they don't exist in reality.

Takagi seemed even more disappointed than Yoon Sora himself, and asked unwillingly:

"Inspector Megure, are you sure you don't have any?"

After hearing Yin Kong's story, he couldn't help but feel that the case before him was the work of a monster called "Painted Skin."

"Of course not, Takagi. You're a police officer, how can you believe in such unscientific things?"

Inspector Megure rarely put on a stern face, and he reprimanded his subordinate with a look of disappointment and frustration.

If they blame the situation on legendary ghosts and monsters whenever something happens that they can't understand, then how are they supposed to solve cases?

However, it is clear that Inspector Megure's lesson did not have much effect.

Upon discovering that not only Takagi, but also his other subordinates at the scene, looked somewhat unconvinced, he said helplessly:

"At least, I had absolutely no idea such an organization existed."

At this point, Inspector Megure also looked at Eri Kisaki:

"Speaking of which, you should ask Attorney Fei about this. I'm just a lowly police inspector, and I don't have many opportunities to deal with those big shots."

While Inspector Megure's words were somewhat self-deprecating, they were essentially the truth.

If there really is some mysterious official agency, no matter how secretive it is, it would never be able to hide it from the wealthy and powerful in high society.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Eri Kisaki shook her head.

She certainly knew a lot about shrines and temples, but they basically just served as platforms or mediums to connect the powerful and wealthy.

"As for the effects of exorcising spirits and warding off evil, it can only be said that they have some psychological effect."

She had witnessed plenty of undignified power struggles among the wealthy.

But in her memory, she had never died in such a bizarre way.

【Under the Shadows】Chapter 1 【Keep a Low Profile and Develop Steadily】Completed.

Rewards: [30 Primogems, 2 Hero EXP, 20000 Mora]

Upon receiving the system notification, Yin Kong was momentarily stunned. This meant that, theoretically, his investigation to this point was already more than sufficient.

Yin Kong glanced down and exchanged a look with Ms. Yoko; he could see the disappointment in her eyes.

Clearly, even though this idol girl already trusted Yin Kong a great deal, deep down she still instinctively hoped to find an official organization she could rely on.

"Even Attorney Fei says so, so it seems there really isn't one."

In comparison, Yin Kong wasn't so surprised.

After all, those two behemoths had been fighting in the city for almost a whole day, and had wiped out almost all the demons that Yin Kong had seen.

If there truly is a mysterious organization that specializes in dealing with such situations, then there is absolutely no possibility that something has gone undetected.

However, in reality, Yin Kong never saw any third-party forces appear from beginning to end.

However, this is not entirely a bad thing; at least Yin Kong will have fewer concerns when taking action in the future.

Of course, you can only rely on yourself to overcome any difficulties you encounter.

Fortunately, Yin Kong felt he could switch Zhong Li out from the background at any time, so he wasn't worried.

This Rock King Emperor provides him with an overwhelming sense of security.

Next came the routine procedure. Because of Eri Kisaki's alibi, Inspector Megure simply asked Yoko and Yoko a few questions and told them to keep in touch before letting them go.

Yoko Okino breathed a sigh of relief as she left the apartment building.

Although the two had prepared their responses in advance, lying to the police for the first time still put her under immense psychological pressure.

Eri Kisaki didn't think much of it, because after leaving that eerie crime scene, she felt much more relaxed.

"Gentlemen, do you need me to take you to the hospital? And Ms. Yoko, do you have a place to stay tonight?"

Yoko Okino was taken aback before realizing that she was temporarily homeless because the apartment had been sealed off by the police.

She thought for a moment and replied:

"No need for the hospital, Attorney Fei. You can just take us to the Rabbit House."

Having successfully escaped the murder case, she and Yin Kong now need to discuss their next steps.

Eri Kisaki naturally interpreted the words in a different way, but after experiencing such a terrible thing, it was only natural that the two of them needed some private space.

Chapter 28 Please help me, Mr. Zhongli

After escorting Yin Kong and Okino Yoko back to the entrance of the Rabbit House, Eri Kisaki exchanged contact information with the two and then immediately took her leave.

"Traveler!" As expected, Paimon's bright smile greeted him as he opened the apartment door. "You're finally back! I've been waiting for you until I was starving."

A smile involuntarily appeared on Yin Kong's face:

"You're just hungry? Looks like you're not worried about me at all."

Paimon chuckled and said matter-of-factly:

"Of course, you're with Zhong Li, how could you possibly encounter any danger... Wait, Miss Yangzi is injured?"
