Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

But as time goes by, this inertia will gradually disappear, and his behavior will become more and more like that of his peers, only more mature, more like "Conan who inherited Shinichi Kudo's memories and emotions".

"Thank you, Paimon."

After regaining his senses, Conan also thanked Paimon earnestly.

He could sense the kindness in the little guy; although he could be a bit sharp-tongued, he was actually very kind at heart.

As expected, Professor Agasa was right. Given that Yin Kong was traveling with such a kind little girl, it seemed unlikely that he was a member of the Black Organization.

"Looks like you've regained your energy." Paimon nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you should hurry home. We still have some mysteries to solve here."

Upon hearing this word, Conan naturally ignored Paimon's attempts to persuade them to go home and asked curiously:

"Huh? What mystery? Brother Yin Kong, weren't all the stolen maple leaf coins recovered?"

This kid has suddenly become well-behaved?

Yin Kong glanced at Conan with some surprise, because he could tell that Conan's address of "Brother Yin Kong" was clearly different from his previous ulterior motives and was genuine.

“It’s okay to tell you, but actually I feel there’s something fishy about this case, especially about the leader of that bandit group. I always feel that he did these things not just to keep all the Maple Leaf Gold Coins for himself.”

Chapter 64 Heizo Shinoin

That does sound a bit strange.

Reminded by Yin Kong, Conan also fell into deep thought:

Indeed, if the leader of the bandit group simply wanted to hide the stolen goods, then he did do a lot of "unnecessary" things.

Putting everything else aside, the "treasure map" itself is already highly suspicious.

Strange, why didn't I notice this before?

Were they blinded by their strong competitive spirit, overlooking even this small detail?

It seems that I must guard against arrogance and impatience when investigating cases in the future, and not let these unnecessary emotions affect me.

Just as Conan was reflecting on his actions, Inspector Megure pressed down on Yin Kong's shoulder and whispered a reminder:

"Brother Yin Kong, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

After all, these are real criminals who dare to rob, so isn't it a bit inappropriate to let a bunch of elementary school students get involved?

Yin Kong chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, officer, it's just to ask if there are any more clues."

Besides, I think Conan has been smart since he was little. Since we're currently clueless, we might get some inspiration from him.

The restriction preventing him from asking for help was lifted when Yin Kong contacted Takagi Sato and then had Inspector Megure lead a team to seal off the entire abandoned building.

As for the subsequent tasks, the key should lie in the so-called "Twelve Trials," rather than in reasoning.

If Conan's involvement can speed up the deduction process and help him get the final reward sooner, Yin Kong wouldn't mind letting Conan participate; in fact, he would be happy to see it happen.

Even Yin Kong had no clue?

Conan, of course, couldn't possibly guess what Yin Kong was thinking. After hearing that even he was helpless, he immediately perked up completely:

"Wait, didn't I remember that the bandit leader was captured? Didn't the police get any crucial information out of him?"

Conan, who gets into the zone in a second, has clearly forgotten his earlier self-admonition to stay humble and not get complacent.

Inspector Megure shook his head and said:

"No, that guy is very stubborn and won't open his mouth no matter how we ask him."

That's obviously because you didn't find the right way. Yin Kong felt that if Ah Ren had taken action, the result would definitely not have been like this.

Unfortunately, the bandit leader was already in the police station, so they obviously couldn't take action openly.

Of course, if no breakthrough can be found before the limited-time event ends, Yin Kong will naturally not care about anything else.

As Yin Kong shared the clues he had with Conan, Takagi also came out excitedly and saluted Inspector Megure:

“Inspector Megure, we have already counted them, and these are indeed the stolen maple leaf coins. The quantities match up, and nothing is missing.”

Inspector Megure patted him on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction and praised him:

"Very good, you and Sato have done a great job this time. You might even receive commendations from higher-ups. Keep up the good work!"

Takagi scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said:

"Actually, it was mainly Yin Kong's credit; I just reported it truthfully..."

Inspector Megure, however, said with a smile:

"This is all thanks to you, Takagi-kun."

Even if Yin Kong had clearly gone out of his way to report the crime to Takagi, or even if he had just found the stolen money while taking a walk on the street, it would still be a huge achievement.

However, just as they were talking, Conan suddenly asked:

"Have you authenticated those gold coins? Have you confirmed that they are all genuine?"

This was the first and most likely scenario he considered.

That is to say, whether it is the treasure map or the maple leaf gold coins in the building, they are just a decoy used by the bandit leader to divert attention.

The real maple leaf coins have likely been switched by him and secretly hidden elsewhere.

Even if the police find the counterfeit gold coins, they will give up the investigation.

"This... I think it's unlikely, right?"

Although he didn't quite understand why Conan was at the crime scene, since Inspector Megure didn't stop him, Takagi honestly answered:

"Because we have already conducted a preliminary appraisal of these gold coins, although there are too many to check them one by one, we can already confirm that they are all genuine gold coins."

Conan, somewhat unwilling to give up, immediately pressed for an answer:

"Then, is it possible that it's a counterfeit?"

Takagi replied:

"This possibility is not very high, because according to our experts, the cost of forging to this extent would be extremely high."

The estimated value of the 15,000 maple leaf gold coins is approximately 600 million yen, which averages out to about 40,000 yen per coin.

To achieve a level of realism that would be indistinguishable from the real thing, the cost would be at least 30,000 yen, or even higher.

"If they can afford such costs, they certainly wouldn't have to resort to robbery, would they?"

"That's right."

Upon hearing this, Conan naturally looked disappointed.

However, Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully, because he knew that among these maple leaf coins, there were actually twelve cursed coins.

What if the forces behind the scenes weren't after money from the very beginning?

However, he doesn't need to bury himself in thought like Conan.

Because after Takagi finished counting all the maple leaf coins, his first limited-time event had already ended.

In other words, he is now able to invite his first wind-type character.

Yin Kong almost couldn't wait to open the system interface and send an invitation to Shinoin Heizo.

"Oh, it's you! It's been a long time... Hmm, I smell a case on you. Do you need my help?"

As soon as the deer's character portrait flashed across the system interface, Yin Kong immediately entered the team configuration without saying a word.

As the exploratory dispatcher, Hisaki Shinobu could directly follow Yin Kong at the cost of reducing Mora income, so he temporarily replaced Hisaki Shinobu in the team.

"Little deer, little deer, what do you think?"

"A case from another world? How interesting."

After Yin Kong gave a brief introduction to the case, Kanoin Heizo's voice immediately became excited.

He pondered for a moment, then said in Yin Kong's mind:

"Could I see that treasure map again?"

Yin Kong was slightly taken aback. He took out the photo of the treasure map again and asked curiously in his heart:

"You mean, there are clues on this treasure map?"

Kanoin Heizo's voice began to analyze Yin Kong's mind methodically:

"Judging from your description, the bandit leader was obviously very unfamiliar with this city, otherwise he wouldn't have used such an ingenious method to record the location of the treasure."

In this situation, how much time and energy do you think he would have left to choose a completely new treasure location?

Chapter 65 Ready-made Memories

Even if the treasure map was just a smokescreen, the bandit leader had clearly put a lot of thought into it.

"Is that so? Yin Kong, do you think those gold coins might also be hidden in this abandoned building?" Paimon immediately floated over, guessing excitedly, "If we search the entire building, we can find them."

When the characters in Yin Kong's team were talking backstage, it seemed that only Paimon could hear them, besides Yin Kong and the other characters in the team.

Kanoin Heizo quickly shattered Paimon's illusions:

"No, I guess it's not that simple."

After all, what if the police, after finding the stolen goods and sealing off the scene, still felt uneasy and searched the entire building as well? Wouldn't he be in a real predicament?

"That's it, that's it."

Paimon nodded slightly, then suddenly realized:

“I understand, you mean the gold coins are likely somewhere along this route, right?”

So he didn't just make a simple mark that only he could understand; he deliberately wrote down "ORO," which represents gold, clearly just to mislead everyone.

In reality, only he himself knew the true location where those gold coins were hidden…

Conan had been silently observing Yin Kong's reaction all along. When he saw Yin Kong suddenly take out the photo of the treasure map and then whisper to Paimon, he was taken aback.

It was obvious that Yin Kong had discovered some new clue, and it was right there on the treasure map.

Conan, looking puzzled, picked up the treasure map again and began to study it.

Unfortunately, no matter how he looked at it from the left or right, from the top or the bottom, he couldn't find any new clues.

After all, he should have already found the imagery of every pattern on this paper, and all the neon lights.

However, just as Conan habitually leaned over to listen to the conversation, he encountered a small figure.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Paimon suddenly turned around, put his hands on his hips, and glared at him with a hostile expression.

"Hey, you sneaky guy, are you trying to eavesdrop?"

Caught red-handed, Conan chuckled awkwardly and explained:

"I...I...I just saw how excited you all were and wanted to know if you had discovered any new clues."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure asked with a curious expression:

"Yes, Brother Yin Kong, what have you discovered?"

“I did find some clues.” Yin Kong nodded, and before Inspector Megure could ask any further questions, he said, “However, we need to verify whether the facts are as I think.”

Inspector Megure was also taken aback by Yin Kong's actions:

"Wait, Brother Yin Kong, are you planning to go alone? Wouldn't that be too unsafe? How about I have Takagi or Sato accompany you?"

After all, it's obvious that if there were any hidden secrets behind the robbery, it would never have been an unarmed ordinary person.

To Inspector Megure's surprise, Yin Kong, who was usually very easy to talk to, actually refused his suggestion this time, shaking his head and saying:

"No need for that. They're just a bunch of petty thieves; they can't hurt me."

Hearing that disdainful tone, Inspector Megure suddenly realized that Yin Kong in front of him was not an ordinary person either.

I don't know what method he used, but when those three members of the robbery gang saw the police, they felt as if they were seeing their own father.

He even confessed to all the crimes he had committed, pouring them out like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"Oh, by the way, Inspector Megure, I think you should keep an eye on this restless little guy instead of worrying about me."

How did this guy guess that I was trying to sneak up on him?
