The so-called professional is, of course, Professor Agasa.
For him to tell Xiaolan that there was nothing wrong with her glasses, given his position, was naturally quite authoritative.
Of course, there's no need to mention the fact that he had to do homework for more than an hour after that.
Yin Kong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief:
"That's good."
However, just as he was about to continue teasing Conan, Paimon eagerly handed him the treasure map—
The moment Yin Kong obtained the treasure map, he felt a slight tremor in the system interface, and then a beautiful scroll slowly unfolded before him.
The scroll depicts Heizo Shinoin and Manyo Kaedehara standing back to back.
Of course, what truly shocked Yin Kong was the following text description—
Dear Travelers, the limited-time event "Maple Leaves Arrive, Deer Come" is now open:
[Complete the challenge: Unravel the secrets of the treasure map and recover the stolen maple leaf coins without asking for help. You can invite a four-star character to join your team.]
[Complete the challenge: Uncover the deliberately concealed truth, find the twelve cursed maple leaf coins, and pass the twelve trials using only the coins. You can invite a five-star character to join your team.]
WTF?! Limited-time event?!
Yin Kong originally thought that since even the email reward had been lost, he would probably never see those four words again in his life.
But now, the system has clearly given him a big surprise.
It turns out he completely misunderstood. The exclamation mark that was floating above Conan's head wasn't a world mission at all, but a marker for a limited-time event!
And this reward—
Four-star character: Heizo Kanoin!
Five-star character [Kaedehara Manyo]!
Although he didn't receive any rewards like Primal Mora, he was given a Maple Leaf directly!
Yin Kong felt that if he missed out on such a reward, he would probably have to get out of bed in the middle of the night and slap himself twice until this time next year.
"Brother Yin Kong, why do your eyes suddenly look so scary?"
Conan noticed that Yin Kong's expression changed drastically after seeing the "treasure map," and then he looked at him with a strangely unsettling and dangerous gaze. Sensing impending doom, Conan cautiously asked, "What's going on?"
"No, it's nothing. I just suddenly realized that you're pretty smart, Conan, aren't you?"
Conan's intuition was indeed correct, because at that moment, Yin Kong was seriously considering something:
Should we have Hisaki Shinobu secretly take action and knock Conan unconscious and drag him away?
After all, the requirement of the event was for him to be the first to decipher the secret of the treasure map and retrieve the maple leaf coins.
If nothing unexpected happens, the high school student in front of him will be his biggest rival.
Shen He once said that as long as we eliminate all the people ranked higher than us, we will naturally become number one.
Similarly, if we physically ban the most threatening detective, he will naturally have ample time to solve the mystery.
"Haha... I'm not as good as Brother Yin Kong."
"That's true."
In the end, Yin Kong gave up on the idea.
It wasn't that he was fooled by Conan's joking, but rather that after thinking for a while, he had vaguely recalled part of the plot.
This small piece of paper is indeed the bandit group's treasure map, marking the location of the maple leaf coins they stole.
As for those messy patterns on top, they are marks for finding treasure.
Yin Kong couldn't quite remember the other details, but he did have a strong impression of the last fish. It must have been the combination of the neon lights at night and their reflections on the water that created the fish.
Chapter 61 Conan: I will never lose, even if it costs me Shinichi Kudo's name!
In the past, or even for a regular world mission, Yin Kong might have been interested in chatting with Conan and the Detective Boys.
After all, in his impression, these kids were all talented individuals, and their ability to court death was unmatched even on the entire Teyvat continent.
Maintaining a positive mood is also an important prerequisite for improving task efficiency.
But at this moment, time-limited tasks naturally take priority.
So, after taking a picture of the pattern on the note, Yin Kong had Paimon return the "treasure map" to Kojima Genta.
Paimon, unaware of the time-limited mission, wiggled his finger and said:
"So, do you need the great adventurer Paimon to lend you a hand?"
"No way!" Before Genta and Mitsuhiko could answer, Ayumi angrily dragged Conan away. "Conan, let's go find them ourselves! We definitely won't lose to them!"
Once out of Yin Kong's sight, Conan's feigned smile vanished instantly, and he said to Genta:
"Yuanta, let me see the treasure map again."
He was quite certain that the man, Yin Kong, had discovered some important clue on the treasure map that he had missed.
They may even have already guessed what the so-called treasure is.
Otherwise, such a significant change in attitude would never have occurred.
"Could it be these three letters?"
Finally, Conan's gaze fell on "ORO," the only three letters on the note.
At this point, Conan probably hasn't mastered the amazing passive ability "I studied in Hawaii," so he didn't immediately understand the meaning of [ORO].
This time, however, he didn't leisurely go to the bookstore to look up words in the dictionary. Instead, he made a phone call directly to Professor Agasa.
The reliable Dr. Agasa quickly gave him the answer.
In Italian, 【ORO】 actually means gold.
So, the so-called "treasure" was actually just gold?
Since it was written in Italian, the person who drew this "treasure map" was most likely Italian.
Combined with the news reports on television about Italian robbers stealing 15,000 maple leaf gold coins that are still missing, isn't the answer obvious?
Conan suddenly realized that he finally understood why Yin Kong was so excited.
But did that man already figure out all the clues the moment he saw the note?
As expected, Yin Kong is a formidable opponent.
Conan carefully recalled his several encounters with Yin Kong and realized that he had never gained the upper hand in any of them.
The first time at the ramen shop, Yin Kong deduced the culprit before him, and Conan could at least find a reason why the other party had intervened in the case before him.
However, in the next two chance encounters, not only did he fail to find out anything about Yin Kong's background, but he also exposed many of his own suspicious points.
This sense of frustration was truly difficult for the proud and arrogant high school detective to accept.
But it doesn't matter!
This time, he's determined to turn the tables and find the treasure first.
He'll never lose, even if it costs him the title of Shinichi Kudo, the famous high school detective!
Conan felt his detective spirit begin to burn brightly.
"Treasure! Treasure! Our treasure!"
Meanwhile, Paimon quickly put Conan and the others out of his mind and started thinking about his treasure.
"Yin Kong, what exactly does this treasure map mean? I can't understand it at all!"
However, after studying the note for a long time, Paimon still couldn't figure it out.
"I don't think this is your fault, Paimon."
Because the bandit leader's thought process was really too abstract. It was one thing for him to suddenly want to double-cross others, but the key point was that after hiding the stolen "maple leaf coins", he would actually leave behind a "treasure map".
Not only that, but as if afraid of being misunderstood, it thoughtfully marked a large Italian word for "gold" on it.
Even if this guy could just abbreviate [ORO] to [O], Yin Kong would still consider that he had made an effort.
However, Yin Kong's gaze quickly fell on the system interface, specifically the description of the second limited-time event.
One of the sentences is "find the truth that has been deliberately covered up." Could it be that there is another hidden story behind this case?
"I knew it! How could it be my problem?" Paimon breathed a sigh of relief at first, but quickly realized, "Wait, Traveler, are you saying it was all my fault before? Are you just trying to find another way to say I'm stupid?"
Yin Kong gently patted Paimon's head:
"It's okay, Paimon is cute even though he's a bit silly."
"Hehehe." Paimon, who was chuckling foolishly, suddenly looked around in confusion. "Huh, how did we end up in this deserted alley? Yin Kong, do you really think the treasure is here?"
"Of course not." Yin Kong shook his head slightly, turned around to look behind him, and asked, "The three of you, do you still need me to invite you out?"
Paimon was stunned for a moment, then said in utter shock:
"What?! Is someone following us?!"
"Kid, you're more vigilant than those brats; you actually managed to spot us."
Soon, three tall figures wearing sunglasses appeared at the entrance of the alley.
The one speaking was the thin, dark-haired man; his two blond companions appeared to be Italians who didn't speak Japanese.
Clearly, they thought Yin Kong was more reliable and had a higher probability of finding the treasure than the Junior Detective League.
Yin Kong said helplessly:
"It's not that I'm being wary, it's just that your tracking skills are terrible."
After being betrayed by Jiuqi Ren countless times, Yin Kong has finally mastered the good habit of always being vigilant about what's behind him.
Even if he didn't remember that there was a group of bandits in the story, it was impossible for him not to notice the three guys' clumsy tracking.
"With your level of expertise, you dare to call yourselves the Italian mafia?"
"Arrogant brat, it seems I need to make you realize your situation!"
Yin Kong's casual attitude immediately angered the three men, who quickly surrounded Yin Kong and Paimon with hostile expressions.
“It’s you who are unaware of your situation, Shinobu.”
The moment Yin Kong finished speaking, a purple rope shot out from behind the three of them.
In an instant, the rope wrapped around the three burly men several times, then tightened suddenly, binding them together tightly like a coil.
Only then did Hisagi Shinobu emerge from the shadows. With a tug on the rope, she dragged the three unsuspecting bandits to the ground, and with a casual kick, the three rolled like tumblers all the way to Yin Kong and Paimon.
Yin Kong crouched down and helped the dizzy, thin-faced man with black hair remove his sunglasses:
"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer. Any questions?"
Chapter 62 Conan: An unexpected encounter with a humanoid cheat code, as strong as a monster, impossible to defeat even with all his might.
"First of all, how much do you know about this treasure map?"
Although the three robbers were quite frightened, they all remained silent after hearing Yin Kong's question.
"Looks like you're still clinging to a sliver of hope?" Yin Kong sneered. "Aren, use Reverse Flame Hand."
What is the Hand of Reverse Flame?
A-Shinobu was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening:
Immediately, she pulled out a stun gun and held it in her hand.
Although he couldn't openly use lightning elemental power, as the external brain of the Araki faction, Shinobu Hisaki never lacked flexible and adaptable thinking.
Just like how wearing shoes that enhance leg strength allows you to kick a satellite with a soccer ball and still explain it as "Ke Xue" (a fictional science).
With an electric shock device to conceal her identity, she can openly use lightning elemental power as long as she restrains herself a little and doesn't act too outrageously.
Bilibili...
"It's not too late to confess now, otherwise you'll suffer greatly."
Upon seeing the stun gun that Hisagi Shinobu pulled out, with blue sparks crackling at its tip, the trio of robbers immediately froze in fear.
