Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

"Okay, okay, I'm here."

Are all the young girls here so easily frightened?

Or perhaps the inhabitants of Teyvat are just thick-skinned?

Looking at Kuki Shinobu who walked out from behind him, Aoyama Nanami was naturally filled with surprise and uncertainty:

"Ren, Ren, Ren-jie, are you really not a ghost?"

Although it wasn't the first time, it's clear that Hisaki Shinobu's sudden appearance could be explained by the fact that her actions were relatively discreet, so she went unnoticed.

But this time, she searched the entire firm repeatedly and meticulously, yet she couldn't find a trace of the other party.

"A ghost? Of course I'm not." Seeing this, Hisaki Shinobu sighed helplessly again, pointing to his smooth forehead and explaining, "Look, I don't have horns on my head, right?"

What does whether someone is a ghost have to do with whether they have horns on their head?

Aoyama Nanami was completely baffled, but she also realized that her reaction might have been a bit excessive:

"So, what Sister Shinobu just did was the legendary ninjutsu? That's incredible! How did she do that?"

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it magic.

As Hisaki Shinobu pulled the short sword from the wall, he explained:

"Actually, I told you from the beginning that almost all ninjutsu utilizes blind spots in a person's vision..."

Actually, I've been hiding behind you the whole time.

Aoyama Nanami paused for a moment, then couldn't help but say:

"But--"

"Why can't you see me when you turn around, right?"

Seeing Aoyama Nanami nodding repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, her eyes almost overflowing with curiosity, Hisaki Shinobu chuckled softly:

"It's very simple. Your actions and intentions were too obvious, so I dodged them in advance."

This is precisely the limitation of most ninjutsu; they can only deal with untrained ordinary people. Once they encounter a truly skilled opponent, they can only rely on their actual weapons.

Even so, it's already incredibly impressive!

Aoyama Nanami sighed repeatedly, and his gaze toward Hisaki Shinobu had become exceptionally respectful.

Just as Aoyama Nanami had completely transformed into a curious child, grabbing Hisaki Shinobu and asking her all sorts of questions, the office doorbell rang again.

"It's so late, and there are still requests coming to our door?"

Hisagi Shinobu felt a little strange. After opening the door, he found that two young women had come in.

The person walking in front was wearing a pair of large black sunglasses, even though it was already evening.

"Excuse me, is this the Rabbit House?"

When Yoko Okino saw that it wasn't Yin Kong who opened the door, but the completely unfamiliar Shinobu Hisaki, she was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had gone to the wrong door.

“No, you’re not in the wrong place. This is the Rabbit House.” Although Hisaki Shinobu had not yet met this idol, he had already guessed her identity from her words and said with a smile, “You must be Ms. Yoko. The traveler told me about you.”

Upon hearing this name, Yoko Okino suddenly realized what it meant and asked curiously:

"Are you perhaps a friend of Yin Kong's side?"

Hisaki Shinobu nodded slightly, shook the Lightning-attribute Divine Eye on his shoulder armor, and introduced himself:

"You guessed right, I am Hisaki Shinobu. Since you are a friend of the traveler, you are naturally my friend as well. You can just call me Shinobu."

Miss Yoko nodded thoughtfully and carefully examined Hisaki Shinobu in front of her.

It wasn't just because of her "strange clothes," but also because of the trust and closeness that this young woman naturally exuded when she mentioned Yin Kong, which made it hard for her not to notice.

Of course, there's also curiosity:

"Then I'll call you Ren. Ren's strength must be very impressive, right?"

After all, both his appearance and demeanor suggest that Hisaki Shinobu is the kind of person who is not to be trifled with.

Hisaki Shinobu gently shook his head and spoke the truth:

"You flatter me. I am actually just an ordinary person. Among the many friends I have made as a traveler, there are many who are more capable than me."

The unremarkable Kuki Shinobu?

Sister Ren, isn't that a bit too modest of you?

However, upon hearing this, Aoyama Nanami's expression inevitably became subtle.

After all, she had just personally experienced just how powerful Kuki Shinobu's ninjutsu was, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it completely refreshed her understanding of ninjutsu in the real world.

If even she can only be considered an ordinary person, then what about Boss Yin Kong's other friends?

While Aoyama Nanami was secretly complaining, Okino Yoko also noticed her standing behind Hisaki Shinobu and couldn't help but ask:

"Is this also an old friend of Yin Kong's?"

After all, Aoyama Nanami was still wearing Catherine's uniform at the moment, and she didn't look like an ordinary high school girl.

“No, this is Nanami Aoyama, a new employee who just joined today,” Shinobu Hisaki introduced. “Aoyama, this is Ms. Yoko; she’s the one who supports our firm’s funding…”

"Miss Yoko? You are—Miss Yoko Okino?!"

Upon hearing this address, Aoyama Nanami suddenly exclaimed in surprise, finally realizing why the other person looked so familiar:

"The real boss of the firm is actually Ms. Yoko?"

Her dream is to become a voice actress, but it is clear that even the top voice actresses today would find it difficult to compare with popular idols in terms of fame.

I was recognized again?

Ms. Yoko, however, was already used to such treatment. She immediately took off her sunglasses and explained to Aoyama Nanami with a smile:

"No, no, no, Miss Aoyama, you misunderstand. My funds are just icing on the cake."

With Mr. Yin Kong's abilities, even without me, the operation of the Rabbit House would have been a matter of time. I really dare not presume to call myself the boss.

Of course, she would be very willing to become the boss's wife if she could one day.

Aoyama Nanami obviously couldn't hear what Okino Yoko was thinking. Hearing this popular idol openly praising Yoko was naturally a huge surprise to him.

At first, she thought that the Rabbit House was just an ordinary detective agency with the name of the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop), and that the boss, Yin Kong, was just a handsome young man with rather unusual hobbies.

But now, she naturally understands just how wrong her initial idea was.

With a member like Kuki Shinobu possessing exceptional skills, and a popular idol like Yoko providing financial support, even if Insora were to tell her that he was the son of some powerful conglomerate, Aoyama Nanami wouldn't be surprised at all.

Chapter 48 [Sapphire]

Who exactly is this Mr. Yin Kong?

Yin Kong couldn't help but sneeze. He naturally had no idea that his newly recruited employee was secretly talking about him. He thought it was the sudden change in weather that had caused him to catch a cold.

It seems my level is still too low.

If it were upgraded ten more times, it should be able to withstand both heat and cold, right?

But then again——

"It feels so quiet. There are no monsters or ghosts on the streets. It's so different from a few days ago."

Because of the heavy snow, there were very few pedestrians on the road.

Most importantly, the great battle between [Yata-Uru] and [Uru-Uru-Oni-maru] almost wiped out the entire city, so Yin Kong could hardly see those demons and monsters for the time being.

Although this rare moment of comfort probably won't last long.

"Everyone is working hard, so I need to step up my game too."

Soon, Yin Kong arrived at his destination—

This seems to be a very famous cat cafe, as business is still booming even in such a cold winter.

However, just three days ago, "Sapphire," the "star" cat of this cat cafe, suddenly disappeared.

After several unsuccessful searches, the shop assistants placed an order with the Rabbit House online.

However, to Yin Kong's surprise, after explaining his purpose to the store manager, Mr. Inoue, he immediately received a series of apologies:

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

The reason is simple: this afternoon, the missing "Sapphire" was found in the back alley of the cat cafe.

However, her condition is not very good.

When it was found, the "sapphire" had been buried in the snow and frozen into a block of ice.

Not only that, its belly was cut open with a sharp instrument, and its internal organs were emptied out.

"I was busy with some things and completely forgot about your appointment, so I'm very sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing. I'll reimburse your travel expenses..."

Although Yin Kong was somewhat disappointed, seeing that the store manager, Inoue, was sincere and that it was an unintentional mistake, he wasn't really angry.

Moreover, there is still plenty of time, and there is still time to take on another commission.

Just as he was starting to think about how to make up for this daily task, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out:

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Yin Kong. You are a detective, right?"

Yin Kong followed the sound and found that the speaker was a typical "long, straight black hair" girl:

"That's true. Our Cunning Rabbit House also takes on some detective cases. May I ask what kind of case you have, Miss?"

The girl was beautiful and elegant, but her aloof expression gave people a sense of distance, like a flower on a high mountain that could not be approached.

She introduced herself as follows:

"I am Yukino Yukinoshita, a regular at the Starry Sky Cat Cafe. Since you also take on detective-type cases, could you please help me track down the murderer of [Sapphire]? Of course, I will pay the full fee."

This one, more like a chaebol heiress than Sonoko Suzuki.

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's impeccable manners, Yin Kong silently cursed Suzuki Sonoko in his heart before nodding in agreement:

"No problem at all."

This was a daily request delivered right to his door, and he had absolutely no reason to refuse it.

However, Manager Inoue, after hearing this, looked embarrassed and said:

"No, no, no, how can we let you pay? How about this, as long as Detective Yin Kong finds the murderer, the commission fee will naturally be borne by our cat cafe."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly and did not insist any further.

After they finished discussing, Yin Kong asked:

"Did Mr. Inoue call the police? What did the police say? Did they find any important clues?"

Unlike the country before the time travel, in Japan, abusing cats is also illegal.

In serious cases, they may even go to jail.

Of course, as the "star attraction" of the Starry Sky Cat Cafe, the Sapphire is obviously a very valuable breed.

According to Inoue, the store manager, even without considering the added value of its brand name, its price is over two million yen.

Even if we only consider it as pure property, it would definitely be enough to send the murderer to jail for several years.

Store manager Inoue sighed, his face filled with heartache, and said:

"The police said they needed to investigate further and told us to come back and wait for further notice."

Clearly, he had given up hope for what would happen next.

The girl named Yukino Yukinoshita is clearly the same; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to investigate.

Yin Kong was not surprised by this.

After all, this is Beika Town, a place teeming with talented people. The Metropolitan Police Department is so busy with murder cases that it naturally has no time to care about cats.

He considered for a moment and then asked:

"So, have you considered that it might have been done by a competitor?"

After all, Sapphire isn't some stray cat you find on the street; as almost the most valuable asset in the entire cat cafe, it has always been well protected.

With such a huge loss, Inoue, the store manager and owner, would certainly not let it go.

If it were an ordinary cat abuser, there would be no need to choose such a difficult and potentially disastrous "target".
