Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

It's alright now under the Shadow's rule. Back when General Raiden issued the lockdown order, apart from the Shaburi Magistrate, the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kansei Magistrate were all much more chaotic than this place.

In comparison, it's just that the process is a bit slower, but it's really not that bad.

While Yin Kong was chatting with the two new characters and cleaning the office, he unexpectedly heard the doorbell ring.

Has someone already seen his job posting and applied?

But when he opened the door to the firm, he saw several unexpected figures.

"Miss Mori?"

That's right, the girl who suddenly showed up at the door is none other than Ran Mouri, the female protagonist of the Conan world.

Accompanying her was a high school girl with a wide forehead, who was about the same age and wearing a headband, as well as Conan, who was now wearing glasses and looked almost exactly like the one Yin Kong remembered.

"Mr. Yin Kong?" Ran Mouri was clearly surprised as well, her face filled with astonishment. "Could it be that the 'Smiling Detective' is actually referring to Mr. Yin Kong? Wait, isn't this the Naruhodo Detective Agency?"

It's actually him? !

Conan, who had been reluctantly following Ran with dead fish eyes, immediately changed his nonchalant expression upon seeing Yin Kong.

He didn't know that Yin Kong had noticed him the moment the door opened, and upon recognizing Yin Kong, he immediately and quietly hid behind Xiao Lan.

"Oh, that's because I just rented this office and haven't had time to change the sign yet." Yin Kong naturally noticed Conan's little trick, but he didn't expose him immediately. Instead, he looked at Ran curiously, "But what is this 'Smiling Detective' that Miss Mori just mentioned?"

Sure enough, this guy is suspicious!

Conan hid behind Ran Mouri, his brows furrowed.

He clearly remembered that just last night, Yin Kong was calling him "Xiao Lan" repeatedly, but now he was calling her "Miss Mori," which was really strange.

Ran Mouri, of course, had no idea that Conan behind her had already begun. Upon hearing Yin Kong's question, her expression immediately became strained.

"Well..."

The high school girl with the broad forehead chimed in:

"Actually, we heard that Phoenix Wright's agency has a handsome detective whose smile has a magical power to make hearts flutter..."

At this point, she looked Yin Kong over carefully again and muttered a complaint in a voice that only she could hear:

"Well, I feel a little disappointed."

It's not that Yin Kong is ugly, but the rumors have exaggerated his appearance, naturally raising the girl's expectations to an extremely high level.

Meeting her now naturally made her feel a sense of loss.

Unfortunately, the girl's supposedly discreet whispers clearly did not escape Yin Kong's ears.

If Paimon were here, he would be overjoyed and laugh at him mercilessly.

Upon hearing this, Yin Kong couldn't help but touch his face, feeling puzzled.

He didn't hire any online trolls. How did such an outrageous rumor even come about?

However, given her gossipy nature and fondness for handsome men, this must be Sonoko Suzuki, right?

It's hard to imagine that such an ordinary girl could be the heiress of the Suzuki Group.

Yin Kong has one advantage: he never forces himself to understand things he doesn't understand.

"Rumors are bound to be exaggerated, so it's not surprising." He casually explained before leading the three into the agency and asking curiously, "So, do you two have a request? Please have a seat."

Sonoko Suzuki was obviously there to see the handsome guy, but without a plausible reason, it would have been impossible for her to bring Ran Mouri over, right?

Ran Mouri sat down in front of Yin Kong, looking hesitant.

It was still Sonoko Suzuki, sitting in a chair and speaking casually:

“That’s right, Xiaolan’s boyfriend has gone missing, so we remembered you helping to investigate his whereabouts…”

Yin Kong suddenly realized:

It seems that Conan hasn't received the voice changer with the ribbon from Professor Agasa yet, so he hasn't contacted Ran by phone.

"Is Ms. Mori's boyfriend the high school detective Shinichi Kudo who was with you that day?"

Xiao Lan blushed immediately and shook her head, saying:

"No, no, no, Shinichi and I are just childhood friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend."

"I see, you're looking for someone." Yin Kong suddenly raised his hand and pointed to Conan hiding behind Ran. "But you shouldn't ask me about Shinichi Kudo's whereabouts, you should ask this little guy."

Conan, who was secretly observing Yin Kong, was caught off guard when he met Yin Kong's ambiguous smile. He felt his heart stop for a moment in shock.

"Little friend, we meet again."

"Conan? How does Conan know Shinichi's whereabouts?"

Yin Kong said matter-of-factly:

"So your name is Conan. Aren't you Shinichi Kudo's illegitimate son? You should know where he is, right?"

Before Conan could answer, a loud bang came from Ran Mouri's direction.

In a moment of carelessness, she broke off the armrest of the chair and crumpled it together with the iron pipe inside.

But this seemingly frail woman, with her A-rank strength and speed, appeared completely oblivious, and asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, Mr. Yin Kong, I didn't quite catch what you said earlier. Conan is Shinichi's illegitimate son?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Conan felt his heart stop in shock.

Chapter 42 Conan: Feeling Slightly Tired

Daily Quest: [Unrequited Love]

Finally, as Ran Mouri's black hair slowly rose behind her, as if she had transformed into a demon on the spot, the daily quest notification finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

Yin Kong glanced at the mission details; it was to have Xiao Lan find Shinichi Kudo or confirm his whereabouts.

"We're relatives! Relatives!" Conan's face turned pale with fright as he looked at the pitiful handrail that kept creaking under Ran's "delicate hands." He quickly waved his hands and protested, "Shinichi is only seventeen years old. How could he possibly have an illegitimate child as old as me? Right, Ran-neechan?"

"Oh, yes."

Xiao Lan was stunned when she heard this, and her boiling killing intent finally dissipated.

Only then did she finally notice the broken handrail that she had crumpled into a mess, and immediately bowed in shame and apologized.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Yin Kong, I accidentally broke your chair. I will compensate you for the original price."

"It's nothing, it's nothing anyway, these tables and chairs will be replaced soon anyway." Yin Kong naturally didn't mind and praised with a smile, "But Miss Mori is truly a woman of character and a heroine among women. Mr. Shinichi Kudo is truly enviable."

Xiaolan blushed deeply, lowered her head, and weakly defended herself:

"Shinichi and I really don't have that kind of relationship..."

This guy, he definitely did it on purpose, right?

Conan, who felt like he had almost been punched to death by Ran, glared fiercely at Yin Kong. This was the second time that Yin Kong had "slandered" him as the illegitimate son of the Kudo family.

If looks could kill, Yin Kong would already be riddled with holes by Conan right now.

Sonoko looked at Yin Kong with a puzzled expression and asked:

"So, why did the detective say that this kid is Kudo's illegitimate son? Do you two know each other?"

"I wouldn't say we know each other, we just bumped into each other at Dorobiga Amusement Park last night." Under Conan's gaze, which was practically about to jump up and punch him in the knee, Yin Kong smiled and patted his head. "Speaking of which, he was wearing a very strange adult outfit back then, pretending to be Shinichi Kudo. It was quite amusing."

Yin Kong, who was planning to use up some stamina, was pleasantly surprised to find that when farming artifact dungeons, he didn't necessarily have to do it himself; he could let the characters be controlled by their own consciousness.

"Immovable as a fortress!" "Respond to me, Oz!" "The grass sings in a ring!" "The heavens move!"...

Unbeknownst to everyone, a fierce battle had already begun within Conan's body.

Xiaolan looked up in surprise:

"What? Conan, you were at the amusement park last night too?"

Conan's expression froze.

He suddenly realized that if Yin Kong continued to chat with Ran like this, he might discover that the strange clothes his "Conan" was wearing yesterday were exactly the same as those worn by Shinichi Kudo.

In this way, it's hard to guarantee that some strange associations won't arise.

Ran and Sonoko are one thing, but this Yin Kong in front of me is really strange. I must not let him guess my true identity.

"Well, actually, Shinichi-nii took me to the amusement park yesterday, but he was afraid of bothering you guys, so he let me go by myself, haha."

Seeing Conan's smile gradually become forced, Ran's eyes finally showed a hint of suspicion:

"Really? Conan, you seem a bit flustered."

On the other hand, Sonoko bluntly stated:

"Leaving the kid aside and going on a date by yourself, that's really awful."

Conan was naturally very unhappy to hear Sonoko talking about him like that.

Unfortunately, he has no way to defend himself now and can only complain in his heart.

Well, as long as he can get away with it, he can accept being insulted by that gossipy old woman, Yuanzi. He's used to it anyway.

Xiaolan argued:

“Sonoko, Shinichi isn’t that kind of person. There must be some other reason.”

As expected, Xiaolan is still the best.

However, before Conan could feel relieved for Ran's defense, Yin Kong spoke again:

"Since Conan is not only Mr. Kudo's relative, but also went home from the amusement park with him, perhaps he knows some clues?"

Conan couldn't help but wonder if Yin Kong was targeting him.

Otherwise, why would he be drenched in sweat every time he opens his mouth?

Sure enough, Sonoko was already staring at him with a suspicious look:

"Little brat, you don't actually know anything, do you?"

Xiao Lan also looked at him and said softly:

"Conan, if you really know anything about Shinichi, please tell me, okay? I'm really worried about him."

Hearing Ran's plea, which even sounded somewhat pleading, Conan's heart softened, and he whispered:

"Actually, Ran-neechan, Shinichi-nii went to investigate a case."

Ran was taken aback; she hadn't actually expected Conan to know. She immediately exclaimed with delight:

Conan turned his head away, avoiding her eyes.

"Yes, but Shinichi said it was a very dangerous case and told me not to tell anyone, so I didn't tell you."

"Is that so? Shinichi is still the same as always, he doesn't care about anything else when he hears about a case."

Just as Xiaolan was about to be fooled, Yin Kong suddenly said:

"Is that really the case?"

"W-What's wrong, Brother Yin Kong?"

Upon hearing Yin Kong speak again, Conan immediately became extremely nervous.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have let Sonoko bring Ran to this agency.

"It's nothing, just Conan, can I take a look at your glasses?"

Sure enough, Yin Kong's question made the great detective's heart skip a beat for a moment once again.

"Glasses?" While Conan was still thinking rapidly, Ran asked curiously, "Mr. Yin Kong, is there anything strange about Conan's glasses?"

Yin Kong explained with a smile:

“Miss Mori, you don’t know, but when I met this little guy yesterday, he wasn’t wearing his glasses. And I do feel that there’s something wrong with these glasses, but we’ll probably have to examine him to find out the specifics.”

Xiao Lan nodded and said:

"Is that so? Then I'll trouble Mr. Yin Kong. Conan, would you please let Mr. Yin Kong check your glasses, Conan?"

Ran was even more puzzled as she watched Conan remain motionless.

"Maybe he's afraid I'll break his glasses?" Yin Kong smiled slightly and assured him, "Don't worry, little guy, I'll be very careful. Even if I break them, I'll definitely buy you a new pair."

However, this kind smile appeared aggressive to Conan.
