But soon, the brutal scene of Yin Kong "beating" the two men in black popped up again, causing him to stop in his tracks.

Forget it. With this man's keen sense, doing this would only bring trouble upon myself.

"Damn it, it's all that confused old man's fault."

In the end, Conan could only look at the oblivious Kogoro Mouri with a disappointed and disappointed gaze.

If this guy had been more proactive and hadn't left such a bad impression on Inspector Megure, he could now, like Paimon, have easily gotten more information.

Sure enough, the number and quality of the monsters in the morgue were far greater than those on the street.

【Soul Eater Edridge】Lv.49.

This is probably the highest-level demon Yin Kong has ever encountered, aside from [Wu Yu Gui Dao Wan] and [Bai Bian Mo Nu].

It covered almost the entire morgue with disgusting sludge, hiding its real body beneath the black mud, leaving only a black shadow slowly moving below.

Yin Kong followed closely behind Inspector Megure, unable to see the ground clearly. He felt as if he were walking through a monster's swamp, and every step he took could lead to him falling into the monster's lair.

Fortunately, he left Paimon on the ground for the time being; otherwise, the little guy would have been too frightened to speak after seeing such a disgusting scene.

Chapter 86 Uninvited Guest

Perhaps because they were underground, the monsters here seemed completely unaffected by the previous battle, and therefore behaved with extraordinary freedom and were exceptionally welcoming to the two of them.

Every now and then, a rotting, swollen creature would emerge from the mud at their feet, offering the two a heartfelt greeting:

Can you see it?

"did you see it?"

Fortunately, demons with their own intelligence are ultimately only a very small minority.

Although these monsters were generally level 25 or higher, after receiving no response from Inspector Megure and Yoru, they quickly sank back into the bottomless swamp.

"These are them." Inspector Megure's friendly voice pulled Yin Kong back to reality. "And this is Dr. Moriuchi, who will be performing the autopsy. You can ask him any questions you may have."

However, there's actually nothing worth asking for advice.

Because the cause of death for these victims was very clear: they were all shot in the forehead with a pistol and died on the spot, leaving very few clues.

Yin Kong thought for a moment and asked:

Are they the same type of bullet?

Dr. Mori nodded and said:

"That's right, they're all using the same 9mm bullets. And based on the rifling on the bullets, it's almost certain they were fired from the same pistol..."

A pistol, one shot, one kill...

Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully, and the image of a pair of brothers from the distillery gradually became clear in his mind.

He examined them carefully again and found that there wasn't even a single fragment of the demon sword on the victims' bodies.

After they were killed, did the fragments of the demon sword automatically choose to detach and find a new host, or were they all taken away by the murderer?

After leaving the morgue, which resembled a den of demons, Yin Kong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From this perspective, forensic medicine is probably the least human-friendly profession, right?

Inspector Megure, naturally oblivious to anything amiss, quickly asked:

"Brother Yin Kong, do you have any clues?"

Yin Kong did not answer directly, but instead asked:

"Inspector Megure, does the police have any further leads? For example, why did these people suddenly change into black uniforms?"

Upon hearing this question, Inspector Megure shook his head with a headache and said:

"Absolutely not. Sato has already interrogated those two guys, and they said they had no secrets at all. They just suddenly found black very pleasing to the eye, so they dressed like that. That's utter nonsense!"

If there were only these two examples, Inspector Megure might have believed it was just a simple coincidence.

But now a bunch of men in black have suddenly appeared, and there are also a large number of victims. How can they believe that there is no connection or inside story?

“Indeed, that’s my biggest question.” Yin Kong nodded slightly and reminded him, “However, I suggest that Inspector Megure and the others keep a close watch on those two. I suspect that once the details of the bombing case are leaked, they will become the next targets.”

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure immediately nodded solemnly and assured him:

"Don't worry, we have made preparations in advance."

Although Inspector Megure sounded very confident, Yin Kong just couldn't quite believe it.

After all, in his mind, the police in the world of Detective Conan, although there were no bad guys, were basically either getting the short end of the stick or on their way to getting the short end of the stick.

Moreover, if the murderers really are the brewery brothers he thinks they are, then the consequences of underestimating them would not be as simple as just being tricked by Kaito Kid.

Considering the distillery's ruthless approach to murder and cover-ups, Yin Kong still offered an extra reminder:

"Inspector Megure, you should also be careful."

I think the killer is most likely a professional hitman who wouldn't hesitate to kill even the police.

Inspector Megure paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Yin Kong. We will."

By the time Yin Kong finished dealing with all these messy matters and rushed back to the office with Paimon, it was already close to dusk.

Fortunately, although Conan's reunion with the Black Organization this time turned out to be a false alarm, it was still a real part of the mission.

Or, it's more like a small preliminary task.

In any case, he met the conditions for receiving the daily reward.

But Yin Kong was taken aback when he pushed open the door of the firm.

Because he saw three familiar figures: Aoyama Nanami, Shikanoin Heizo, and—

Yin Kong looked around in confusion before finally confirming that he couldn't find Xiao Lan in the office.

So, is this young lady from the Suzuki Group acting alone today?

However, Yin Kong quickly understood the young lady's purpose.

"Mr. Heizo, are you still single?"

"Single? That's great, I'm single too. So, Mr. Heizo, what kind of girl do you like?"

"Mr. Heizo..."

Faced with this barrage of questions, Kanoin Heizo could only offer a polite, yet not awkward, smile.

Upon seeing Yin Kong enter, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:

"Traveler, this Ms. Suzuki has a request for you to make."

Yin Kong suddenly realized something, and walked over with a smile, asking:

"Ms. Suzuki, did you watch today's press conference?"

Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed excitedly:

"That's right! Mr. Heizo is so cool, especially that speech declaring war on evil, oh! It was like Cupid's arrow piercing my heart..."

Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko was completely immersed in her memories as she spoke, Yin Kong patted the deer on the shoulder with a sympathetic look and asked:

"So, Ms. Suzuki, your request is—"

Upon hearing the question, Sonoko Suzuki immediately snapped out of her pink-hued memories and replied:

"Actually, I also have a dream of fighting evil, so Mr. Yin Kong, please let me join the Cunning Rabbit House and fight evil together with Mr. Heizo! This is my lifelong request!"

Sonoko-san, shouldn't your top recommendation be Kaito Kid?

Yin Kong smiled politely and declined.

“Ms. Suzuki, you are still a minor, and the members of our Rabbit House have all undergone rigorous testing…”

Sonoko Suzuki clearly came prepared:

"It's alright. Isn't Miss Nanami a student too? And feelings that have been tested so many times will surely become even more genuine, right?"

Just as Yin Kong was marveling at the young lady's relentless determination, Zhong Li emerged from the inner room:

"Traveler, I've finished taking care of things here. Would you like to take a look?"

Just as Yin Kong nodded, preparing to quickly refuse Suzuki Sonoko, he noticed that the young lady's eyes were already shining, staring intently at the direction Zhong Li had disappeared, and she excitedly asked:

"Mr. Yin Kong, may I ask who this...who is this gentleman?"

Chapter 87 As long as you don't lose your nobility

"Hey, are you swooning over Zhong Li?" Paimon said speechlessly, looking at Suzuki Sonoko's drooling expression. "But I advise you to give up now. Zhong Li will never have any romantic feelings."

Upon hearing this, Yin Kong nodded vigorously, for he could not imagine under what circumstances the Rock King Emperor would develop feelings of affection for a mortal.

The domineering emperor falls in love with me?

Yin Kong immediately shook his head violently, banishing this terrible thought from his mind.

"So that gentleman's name is Zhongli, and he's single?" Unfortunately, Suzuki Sonoko had clearly already filtered out the "useless" information in Paimon's words, and exclaimed with her hands clasped together, "Ah, Sonoko, Zhongli, what a perfect pair of names..."

"This guy is completely beyond saving."

Seeing that Sonoko Suzuki looked as if she had already thought of what to name the child, Paimon shook his head helplessly and gave up on trying to persuade her further.

Yin Kong also looked at Qingshan Qihai:

"Aoyama, why don't you stay here and chat with Ms. Suzuki for a while? Heizo and I will go inside first."

Normally, he might have been in the mood to play along with Sonoko Suzuki's antics.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group. To put it bluntly, even a single hair from her leg would be worth more than all of Yoko's assets.

But at this moment, Yin Kong clearly wanted to light up the Seven Gods statue as soon as possible, activate his elemental power, and get rid of his original human identity.

However, just as Yin Kong was about to lead Paimon into the inner room, he found that his arm had been grabbed.

Sonoko Suzuki looked up at him and pleaded:

"Oh no! If I can't join the Rabbit House, Watashi—"

【Daily Tasks】

Help Sonoko Suzuki join the Cunning Rabbit House.

Goodness, seeing this daily task suddenly appear, Yin Kong was certain that the young lady in front of him was indeed very serious.

Even if it's just a sudden blissful infatuation, it's a very serious blissful infatuation.

Unfortunately, I've already claimed all my daily quest rewards for today, so even if I complete the garden's quests, I won't get a single Primogem.

"Hmph, Miss Suzuki, our Rabbit House isn't an organization you can just join anytime." Paimon shook his finger and said proudly, "If you want to join us, even if you don't have the abilities that even the gods praise, you should at least have a skill."

"A special skill?" Sonoko Suzuki paused for a moment, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "I'm very rich, does that count as a special skill?"

Paimon clearly didn't believe it, shaking his head and saying:

"Having money? I'd say that's barely enough. But to be considered someone with a skill, it's not enough to just have a little bit of money. You need at least enough to buy this apartment building."

To everyone's surprise, Sonoko Suzuki wore an expression of pure delight, as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

"What? If we can buy this apartment building, we can join Rabbit House?"

Not only was Paimon speechless for a moment, but even Nanami Aoyama's face immediately showed a shocked expression.

At first, she only regarded Suzuki Sonoko as an ordinary high school student, at most a little infatuated with her.

But now, it sounds like she could buy an entire building so easily?

If this isn't bragging, how incredibly extravagant is this?

Seeing this, Yin Kong finally spoke up:

“Miss Suzuki, you misunderstand. Paimon was just giving an example. However, our Rabbit House is indeed willing to accept all forms of funding.”

Sonoko Suzuki said happily:

"If I donate enough money, can I have dinner with Mr. Zhongli and then go on a date with him... Ahhh..."

"Of course not."
