Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

I was just taking a walk here. Is there some rule that prevents me from even taking a walk?

Still trying to argue?

Yin Kong wasn't surprised at all, and sneered:

Do you really think that everything you've done is flawless?

When you're hiding in a crowd, finding you might be a bit difficult, but now that you've stepped forward, the evidence will be plentiful.

Matsubara Takashi's heart pounded, but he quickly began to try to calm himself down.

That damned detective must be bluffing again. He has no evidence at all. I must not fall for it again.

"Aren't you still giving up?"

Yin Kong gently shook his head, pointing to his hands and saying:

"You don't think that you can rest easy as long as you can wash the blood off your hands, do you?"

It seems you don't know this, but even if blood appears to be clean on the surface, there are still special components left behind, which the police can easily identify using specialized reagents...

Besides, this probably isn't the first time you've done something like this. Has your house really been thoroughly cleaned?

Before Yin Kong could finish speaking, Matsubara Takashi cursed inwardly, turned around and ran away.

Originally, Manager Inoue had some doubts, but after seeing this scene, they completely disappeared.

"Watch out, don't let him get away!"

To Ling Yin Kong's surprise, Yukino Yukinoshita, who seemed to have the airs of a young lady, chased after him without hesitation.

It seems this young lady really likes that cat named "Sapphire".

Seeing the girl rush out from beside him like the wind, Yin Kong sighed inwardly and looked up at Oz:

Make your move, my ambush troops.

This night raven flying in the air is not just a simple sight-providing bird.

With a "whoosh," Oz spat out a tiny, almost invisible lightning bolt, which instantly and accurately struck Matsubara Takashi, who was running for his life below.

The prisoner felt a numbness in his legs, then naturally lost his balance and fell face-first to the ground.

"Phew, serves him right."

Upon seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That was close! Matsubara Takashi almost managed to escape through the back alley and live.

After all, although they had successfully seen Matsubara Takashi's appearance, Tokyo was so big that once he escaped, finding him again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, even if it were found by chance, the time spent in the process would be more than enough for the other party to dispose of all the evidence.

Unfortunately, although Yukinoshita always strives for perfection, she has no confidence in her physical strength, and her decision to chase after her was merely a subconscious act.

Fortunately, this guy was really unlucky; he took a hard fall and hasn't been able to get up yet.

"Just surrender obediently; you have no way out."

After catching his breath for a moment, Yukinoshita leaned on his knees and slowly walked over, looking at Matsubara Takashi who was still lying on the ground struggling.

Yukino frowned slightly. Although Yin Kong didn't seem to have any obligation to help them capture people, his relaxed and carefree demeanor at the moment still made her quite displeased.

Matsubara Takashi looked at him with hatred and struggled to get up, but his legs were numb and tingling and he couldn't control them no matter how hard he tried.

He could never have imagined that something like a lightning bolt falling from the sky could exist in this world. He thought he was really that unlucky to have his leg go numb at this crucial moment.

"Wait! Don't call the police! Please, please don't call the police!"

Seeing that Manager Inoue had already taken out his phone to contact the police, Matsubara Takaya immediately changed his expression and pleaded:

"I'm willing to compensate you double—no! Three times the price of that cat! Please, please don't hand me over to the police..."

Upon hearing this, Yin Kong raised an eyebrow and then looked at Manager Inoue.

The price of a sapphire is over two million yen, so three times that would be a full six million yen.

For ordinary people, this is obviously a considerable amount of wealth.

However, Inoue, the shop manager, was also a cat lover and remained completely unmoved, saying:

“Tell those things to the officers.”

As for Yukinoshita, this young lady wouldn't even care about such a small amount of money.

Realizing that bribery was not working, Matsubara Takashi immediately changed his strategy and pleaded:

“If I go to prison, my job, my family, everything will be over! My daughter, she's about your age, what will she do without me…”

Chapter 51 Divine Tree

“My wife is a full-time housewife, and my daughter is only in high school. They definitely wouldn’t survive without me…”

Upon hearing Matsubara Takashi's plea, Yukinoshita finally showed a hint of hesitation on her face.

Before this, she had never encountered such blatant moral blackmail.

She knew, of course, that Matsubara Takashi had only himself to blame and that he was probably exaggerating, but the thought of the consequences still made her hesitate.

This is exactly the effect that Matsubara Takashi wanted.

By pleading and begging, he finally got the chance to regain the strength to move again after the numbness in his legs subsided.

Matsubara Takashi suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed directly in the direction where Yukinoshita was.

Clearly, he had not given up hope of escaping and had already chosen a breakthrough point.

After all, she was the only woman present, and a minor high school student at that. Of course, one should pick on the weakest one.

Yukinoshita, caught in a dilemma, was clearly not prepared for this situation and was taken aback.

However, just as Matsubara Takashi was still wondering why he hadn't seen the expected look of panic on Yukinoshita's delicate and beautiful face after the initial shock, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita perform a clean and neat side fall, sending Matsubara Takashi, who was trying to escape, sprawling on his back, Yin Kong was naturally happy to slack off:

"It seems this guy has absolutely no intention of repenting."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita nodded slightly.

Although her physical strength was indeed weak, she was proficient in Aikido, which could still come in handy at this crucial moment.

Moreover, this way, I won't have to worry about it anymore.

The police arrived quickly.

To Ling Yin Kong's slight surprise, the police officers who arrived were actually his old acquaintances, Sato and Takagi.

Since we're acquaintances, everything becomes much easier.

Yin Kong briefly recounted the general events in a few words.

"So it was you who ran into him. This guy is really unlucky, no, he deserves it."

Sato felt no sympathy whatsoever for Matsubara Takashi, who was lying on the ground questioning his existence.

There's not much to say about what happened next. Although Matsuki refused to cooperate with the investigation, Takagi quickly found his driver's license and other documents on him, thus completely confirming his identity.

Not long after, the police found the murder weapon and some animal remains in his home.

With both witnesses and physical evidence at hand, Songmu Gui had no room for further denial.

As for how many years this guy will be sentenced to, that depends on Inoue's attitude.

But since things have already escalated to this point, even if Matsubara Takashi obtains Inoue's forgiveness, a two- or three-year prison sentence is inevitable.

But those two or three years in Detective Conan...

Hopefully, Mr. Songyuan will have the chance to see the light of day again in this lifetime.

Without a moment's mourning for the capture of the criminal, Yin Kong quickly produced two imperial coins:

"Oh, right, this is the amulet that we agreed to give to you two."

"This is the Emperor's Coin?"

Sato's eyes lit up, but after seeing the appearance of the Emperor's Coin, he immediately hesitated.

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow and said:

"What, Officer Sato, do you dislike my lucky charm?"

“Of course not, how could that be?” Sato shook his head repeatedly and explained, “Yin Kong, your imperial coins aren’t made of gold, are they? If so, then I can’t accept them.”

After all, they are public officials. Even if they were to accept such valuable gifts in private, let alone in public, it would have a very bad influence.

"I see. Don't worry, it's just a special gold alloy."

In fact, when he was short of money before, Yin Kong had seriously considered whether to take some Mora out of his backpack and sell it.

Because the texture of Mora and gold is not very similar, but rather exactly the same.

However, Mora's forging process is very special, and it also incorporates the power of the Rock God, so the two will exhibit some different characteristics and their effects in the field of mysticism are vastly different.

But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he ultimately rejected the tempting idea.

After confirming that Yin Kong's words were true, Sato breathed a sigh of relief and put away the imperial coins with peace of mind.

"Speaking of which, is there any new progress in Ms. Yoko's case?"

Yin Kong naturally knew that relying solely on the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department would most likely mean they would never find the real culprit in their lifetime.

However, it's clearly not normal to act too indifferent.

"Of course, we still came up empty-handed." Sato shook his head helplessly and explained, "We searched almost the entire area around that apartment building today, but we didn't find any ferocious beasts that might be there. They'll probably give up in a couple of days."

Takagi added:

"By the way, I heard that an expert will be coming to assist with the investigation in a couple of days."

Yin Kong became interested:

"Oh, an expert?"

Sato, seeing Yin Kong's expression, knew he had misunderstood and immediately shook his head to explain:

"Not the kind of expert we were talking about before, just an experienced forensic pathologist who's supposedly very interested in how the two victims died..."

Upon hearing her say that, Yin Kong immediately lost most of his interest.

Of course, if given the chance, he would still try to meet with the other party.

Perhaps, the forensic doctor's identity is just a tool used to conceal his true identity?

Just as they were chatting, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had finished assisting with the investigation, came over and politely asked:

"Officers, now that the case has been solved, may we take Sapphire's body back with us?"

"of course can."

Sato had no reason to refuse such a reasonable request.

Yukino Yukinoshita's goal was simple: she hoped to give the poor "Sapphire" a proper burial as soon as possible.

While they were completing the formalities and retrieving the cat's body, Manager Inoue explained the situation to Yin Kong.

It turns out that not far from the Starry Sky Cat Cafe, there is a Higurashi Shrine, which enshrines a very ancient sacred tree.

"It is said that this sacred tree has long possessed a spirit, and burying animals under it will allow their souls to be protected and to pass away peacefully. Therefore, after all the cats in our shop pass away, I send them there for burial."

Yin Kong's heart stirred, and he immediately recalled the sacred tree that had fought against the abyss alongside the [Eight Crows] not long ago.

Moreover, Higurashi Shrine?

"Manager Inoue, I've visited most of the shrines around here, but I don't seem to have heard of this Higurashi Shrine before?"

Chapter 52 The Well of Bone Eaters

"Higurashi Shrine? I don't think I've ever heard of it."

In order to find a way to deal with the demons and monsters that roam the streets, Yin Kong has visited most of the shrines in Tokyo over the past two months with a map in hand.

Store manager Inoue wasn't surprised and explained:
