Wow, we've gone back to the ancient times again! After discovering that there's only one 5-star character featured in the banner, Yin Kong knew that this was probably another gacha banner that had just been released.
Among all the characters, the young master's combat strength is actually not bad. After all, he is an executive officer of the Fatui, and even if he is only the last in command, he is still a character that should not be underestimated.
Unfortunately, even his teacher, Skirk, has already been added to the gacha pool. Unless there's a reason, Yin Kong will probably skip this gacha pool altogether.
After tidying up, Yin Kong immediately took Paimon and Little Deer out.
Beika Town, Mori Detective Agency.
Although the distance wasn't far, this was probably the first time Yin Kong had formally paid a visit.
And if nothing unexpected happens, starting today he will probably come here every day to check in, just like he visits Catherine.
Besides clearing his stamina, it was also to check if any new missions had appeared above Conan's head.
Yin Kong had just reached the door when he heard the deathly question coming from inside.
"Seriously, Conan, why does Shinichi only contact you and never even call me?"
Immediately following was Conan's somewhat flustered reply:
"Maybe Shinichi is just really busy? Ran-neechan, are you jealous?"
"Hehehe, Conan, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be jealous of you?"
Just as Conan was sweating profusely amidst Ran Mouri's "kind" laughter, he heard the doorbell ring and immediately rushed out of the agency as if fleeing.
"Brother Yin Kong?"
Upon seeing Yin Kong, Pingzang, and Paimon, the former high school detective was naturally quite surprised.
After all, he had no idea what Yin Kong was going to do at the Mori Detective Agency.
"Tsk, it's you."
Of course, Kogoro Mouri clearly thought the same thing.
Upon seeing that it was Yin Kong, he leaned back lazily in his chair and casually asked:
"What brings you two great detectives to my office?"
Yin Kong didn't take it to heart, nodded slightly to Xiao Lan, and said:
"There's nothing special about it, but since the Rabbit House isn't far from Mr. Mori's office, I thought I'd give them a proper visit."
"Then forget it." Hearing him say that, Kogoro Mouri became even more impatient and waved his hand, saying, "I've never thought about getting along with you kids."
Ran Mouri reminded him somewhat angrily:
"Dad, isn't it incredibly rude of you to talk like that?"
Kogoro Mouri, however, argued vehemently:
"Xiao Lan, Rabbit House is my competitor. Do you really expect me to greet you with a smile?"
“Well, since Mr. Mori has said so,” Yin Kong sighed and said to Heizo, “It’s a real shame, Heizo. It seems that we’ll have to enjoy this bottle of sherry, which is said to be worth 200,000 yen, ourselves.”
Chapter 106 One-Eyed Little Treasure's Great Mobilization
"Any good wine?"
Having caught the key words, Kogoro Mouri immediately sat up straight, his previously lazy attitude completely changing.
"You should have said so earlier. Since you have good wine, I would naturally be very happy to have it."
Upon seeing that the deer was indeed holding a high-end bottle of wine, the uncle's smile became even more genuine.
"dad……"
Having witnessed Xiaolan's face change in the blink of an eye, he was naturally speechless.
"Hehe, this uncle is really easy to understand."
Conan chuckled inwardly.
However, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled looking at Yin Kong and the other two.
Although a 200,000 yen sherry is far from the top-tier fine wines, it is quite valuable as a gift for a first visit.
Could it be that Yin Kong needs Uncle Mori's help?
Conan thought about it and felt that the possibility seemed too low.
After all, even now, he hasn't discovered that this muddle-headed uncle has any other noteworthy talents besides investigating extramarital affairs.
Surely it's not that his girlfriend cheated on him, is it?
Yin Kong gently grasped Conan's head, directly interrupting his inner monologue:
"Conan, are you secretly talking bad about me because of that look on your face?"
Upon discovering that Conan indeed had a mission marker on his head, Yin Kong knew that his trip today had been worthwhile.
"H-How could that be?" Conan was startled, and the image of Yin Kong "persuading people with reason" immediately came to mind. He immediately smiled and said, "I was just thinking, Brother Yin Kong is so capable, even if he encounters a case, there shouldn't be any need to ask Uncle for help, right?"
Kogoro Mouri immediately became annoyed and said with dissatisfaction:
"What are you saying, you little rascal?"
"Actually, I just received a bottle of high-end wine, and I happened to hear that Mr. Mori is quite knowledgeable about wine, so I thought I could take the opportunity to ask him for advice."
Yin Kong smiled slightly and casually opened the copy inside Conan's body.
With [Ruoshui] at Elite 5, he can now farm higher-level dungeons that drop four-star artifacts.
"I'm ashamed to say that neither Heizo nor I are very knowledgeable about wine and can distinguish between high and low quality."
"Wine tasting? You've come to the right person!" Kogoro Mouri immediately perked up and laughed loudly. "I didn't expect young people these days to be so savvy. That's right, how can you do business outside without knowing how to drink? Let me, your senior, teach you the etiquette at the dinner table."
As they spoke, Kogoro Mouri had already expertly taken out his set of sake utensils:
"Is it 'Tio Pepe'? This kind of sherry needs to be chilled for a while before being paired with seafood or other snacks to bring out its best flavor..."
It seems that Yin Kong's words really hit a nerve with Kogoro Mouri, because without the two of them saying a word, the man began to talk at length about his wine tasting experience.
Yin Kong was happy to relax, because he really didn't have any preference for alcohol.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Mori, do you know of any good dandelion wines?"
Kogoro Mouri, who had been talking non-stop, paused for several seconds before scratching his head and saying:
"I've never heard of this before. Dandelion wine? Is it made from dandelions? I don't think... I think... there's probably no such wine?"
“That’s right, I don’t remember any famous dandelion wine brands, but there are medicinal wines made with dandelion.” Conan unconsciously leaned closer and asked with a curious look, “But Brother Yin Kong, what do you want dandelion wine for? Do you really like this kind of wine?”
Yin Kong smiled and said:
"Of course it's not me, but a friend of mine. His favorite drink is dandelion wine, followed by apple wine, so I wanted to buy a few bottles to try."
Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise:
"Your friend is quite special."
Based on his intuition as an old alcoholic, he felt that the wine made from dandelions probably wouldn't taste very good, at least not to his liking.
"Is that so?" Paimon was taken aback, then shook his head. "I thought that if a street singer liked it so much, it must be some really delicious wine."
Is she also a member of the Rabbit House?
Just as Conan was looking at Paimon curiously, hoping she would reveal more information, he suddenly noticed that Ran had quietly pulled Yin Kong aside and was whispering something to him.
"Mr. Yin Kong, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Is it convenient for you?"
Hearing Xiaolan's question, Yin Kong couldn't help but feel curious as well:
"What does Miss Mori wish to ask?"
Ran glanced at Conan subconsciously, then lowered her voice and asked:
"Just a few days ago, Mr. Yin Kong encountered Conan at the Dorobiga amusement park. Could you tell me more about it?"
Yin Kong understood; Ran had noticed Conan's unusual behavior and was beginning to suspect his true identity.
"of course can."
He wasn't actually that concerned about Conan's identity being exposed.
In Yin Kong's view, whether Ran knows or doesn't know Conan's true identity, it won't have any real impact.
The moment Conan chose to move into the Mouri Detective Agency, they were already drawn into the battle against the Black Organization.
Unless Conan is willing to hide quietly and act like an ordinary elementary school student without causing trouble, given the Black Organization's style, once his identity is exposed, or he is arrested or even killed, the Mori family has virtually no chance of staying out of it.
Of course, if there were no Originium reward, he wouldn't bother to expose it.
Although Conan couldn't hear the conversation between Yin Kong and Ran, he had a strange premonition of impending doom from the suspicious glances Ran kept giving him.
To be honest, ever since he accidentally forgot to wear his glasses this morning, Xiaolan's reaction has been very, very strange.
I have a feeling this is really bad!
Conan was confident he could handle Ran alone, but with Yin Kong's words and the man's keen insight, he completely lost his confidence.
Fortunately, just then, the office doorbell rang again.
Conan, who rushed to open the door, was immediately overwhelmed by a pile of toys.
"I'm sorry, little friend, are you alright?"
This is a middle-aged man with a kind face; clearly, he is the protagonist of today's case.
The moment he stepped inside, Yin Kong's mission prompt changed—
Dear Traveler, the first phase of the limited-time event "One-Eyed Little Treasure's Mobilization" is now open:
Let more children become captivated by the charm of One-Eyed Treasure and become his fans. After completing all the stage tasks, you can invite the five-star character [Prince Tartaglia (Water)] to join your team.
Chapter 107 The Price of Life
"My name is Togashi. For about two years now, I've been receiving toys and money from the mailer, but the sender's name and address are all fake..."
Uncle Mori exclaimed in surprise:
"Shouldn't this be a good thing? Why commission an investigation?"
"It's because of insecurity."
Kanoin Heizo glanced at Mouri Kogoro with a somewhat speechless expression, and couldn't help but wonder if this uncle was really a detective.
"There are very few good things in this world that fall from the sky. It is only natural to be wary when you receive an expensive gift out of the blue."
However, since this matter started two years ago, why is Mr. Togashi only seeking help from the firm today? Has something unexpected happened?
“That’s right.” Mr. Togashi nodded slightly and explained, “Because before, the money sent with the toys every month was one million, but today, it suddenly became twenty-five million.”
Twenty-five million?
Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed excitedly:
"Since there are so many, why don't we entrust them to our firm for safekeeping?"
Seeing Ran finally lose her temper and slam her fist on the table, leaving a fist mark, Kogoro Mori swallowed hard before regaining his composure.
"Ahem, I mean, this is indeed a very strange thing, but besides money, are there toys... Does Mr. Togashi have children?"
Mr. Togashi nodded and said:
"Yes, I have a child named Yuta, who is five years old this year."
He was very happy to receive a new toy every month, but I became increasingly uneasy.
It seems that this Yuta Togashi is my target for today's mission, right?
As Yin Kong was thinking this, Conan suddenly spoke up:
"So, Uncle Togashi, could this be a patient you cured in the past who wants to express their gratitude to you in this way?"
“My patient… seems to have that possibility as well.”
Although he was not a well-known doctor, his skills were quite excellent, and some of the patients he cured were quite wealthy.
However, Mr. Togashi quickly asked with doubt:
"Wait, did I say I was a doctor?"
