Chapter 140 Mr. Kurosawa's Arrest

Good news, the funds have been withdrawn;

Bad news, it went off-track.

Moreover, apart from Mona, Yin Kong didn't get any new characters this time, but instead got three four-star weapons in one go:

【Rain Cut】, 【Sacrificial Sword】, and 【Western Wind Spear】.

The Weapon Master is actually myself?

After redeeming the Star Essence, Yin Kong realized he had collected enough for another ten-pull, and naturally couldn't resist, so he spent it all on it again.

"Hello, traveler from afar, would you like me to take care of your dreamless night?"

This time, only two four-star characters remained: one four-star character named Candice who was just there to make up the numbers, and a four-star artifact called "Wandering Melody".

Seeing Yin Kong's dramatic change in expression, Xiao Lan couldn't help but ask:

"Um, Mr. Yin Kong, Paimon, why do you both have that expression?"

"Well, I have mixed feelings," Paimon said, scratching his head with a sigh. "It's like, 'It's good, but not as good as I imagined.' Is it because it was just a handshake?"

To be fair, getting gold in less than 20 pulls is practically free; even if you get the wrong item, you're still considered lucky.

Fortunately, I've calmed down and realized that Mona and Candice are already pretty good.

Xiao Lan naturally couldn't understand Yin Kong's complicated feelings at this moment, but she was always a kind and understanding girl, so she didn't press him for details.

Of course, Conan is obviously different.

Because of Yin Kong's words, it was as if he had already drawn all the cards.

But they were all here just now and didn't see Yin Kong take out any card blind boxes or gift packs at all.

Or did he guess wrong, and is there some hidden meaning behind the so-called card draw?

However, Conan quickly lost interest in thinking about these things because he suddenly saw a very familiar face on the television news.

"Last night, a criminal gang dressed in black, led by Kurosawa Jin, attempted to attack a police car transporting prisoners, and their actions were extremely heinous."

Fortunately, a kind-hearted citizen, Mr. Heizo Kanoin, who happened to be passing by, helped the police thwart their plan and successfully apprehended the entire criminal group without causing any casualties.

According to the investigation, this is an organized criminal gang, and some accomplices are still at large. They like to wear black clothing. Citizens are urged to remain vigilant and contact the police immediately if they encounter any suspicious persons.

Seeing the photos of Gin, Vodka, Korn, and Chianti posted on the TV, Conan froze on the spot.

He had imagined countless times what kind of situation he would encounter the Black Organization again.

But no matter what, Conan never expected that before he could even make a move, Gin and Vodka had already been captured.

Not only them, but other members were also arrested?

It felt as if Professor Moriarty had been arrested by the police and his criminal empire destroyed before Sherlock Holmes even had a chance to appear.

Absurd, and unbelievable.

"They actually dared to attack the armored truck. These criminal groups these days really aren't afraid of death."

Kogoro Mouri, of course, was unaware of all this. While enjoying his delicious snacks, he began to comment on the photos on television:

"This guy named Gin, dressed so conspicuously, yet he went to work in the underworld as a hitman. He's really too unprofessional."

Even when I go to catch someone having an affair, I know to change into ordinary clothes. Tsk tsk, I guess it's some newly formed little organization, thinking they're so great just because they're wearing all black..."

Xiao Lan, however, noticed the name "Little Deer" and looked at Yin Kong curiously:

"Wait, I remember Mr. Kanoin is the agent of Kouto-ya, right? So, Mr. Yin Kong left in a hurry yesterday because of this case?"

If that's the case, doesn't that mean Yin Kong should now be very clear about the inside story of the Black Organization?

However, just as Conan suddenly raised his head, intending to use the indirect approach, he met Yin Kong's gaze.

Yin Kong chuckled and patted Conan's head, then casually began to clear his stamina.

"Indeed, I did help out in a small way."

Xiao Lan said knowingly:

"As expected of Mr. Yin Kong, he is indeed very capable."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Mori couldn't help but purse his lips:

"They're just a bunch of audacious petty thieves. If I were there, I could have easily taken care of them."

Conan chuckled inwardly upon hearing this.

If you were actually there, you probably wouldn't even know how you died.

Others may not be aware of this, but he was absolutely certain that the Black Organization was not some newly established small group.

Moreover, if it weren't for the crucial help from the Rabbit House, their contribution would never have been specifically mentioned in the news.

Unfortunately, Yin Kong seemed to have no intention of revealing any further information, and simply said with a smile:

“Mr. Mori is right. If you were here, perhaps I, a young man, wouldn’t have had the chance to show my skills?”

After all, Uncle Mori's marksmanship is almost becoming "Conan's science," just like Conan's soccer and Kyogoku Makoto's karate.

If necessary, Yin Kong had no doubt that Uncle Mori could, like a certain sun, raise a pistol and shoot down the Apache helicopter in the sky.

"Hahaha..." Uncle Mori laughed heartily, then said modestly, "Not at all, Brother Yin Kong is quite skilled. Although he can't compare to me, it's just that I have more experience, hahaha..."

Conan covered his forehead, feeling his blood pressure was about to explode if he continued to listen to their back-and-forth flattery.

Fortunately, Xiaolan suddenly spoke up and invited:

"By the way, Mr. Yin Kong, we're planning to visit an art museum next. Would you like to come along?"

"Hey, Xiaolan, you haven't given up yet?"

Before Yin Kong could answer, Kogoro Mouri shook his head helplessly and said:

"I've said it before, the so-called walking armor is just a gimmick put out by the museum staff to lure guests like you to come and visit."

This time, Conan didn't mock him while he was down, because he also hoped that Yin Kong could go to the art museum with them so that he could take the opportunity to find out more information about the Black Organization.

"Hmph." Ran Mouri was clearly unhappy with her father's mockery, so she could only look at Paimon and ask with a smile, "Paimon, how about your big sister takes you to the art museum?"

Paimon glanced at Yin Kong, and seeing him nod slightly, he immediately raised his hand and said happily:

"Okay, Paimon's going!"

Chapter 141 Director Ochiai

"So many beautiful paintings!"

It's clear that Xiaolan isn't just interested in the legendary walking armor; she's also paying close attention to the various artworks on the wall.

Even though this is just a very ordinary small art museum, and the paintings on display cannot be considered masterpieces.

Uncle Mori naturally looked bored, and Conan was completely focused on how to get information out of him. Only Paimon, who was visiting an art exhibition for the first time, was very excited.

"Yin Kong, look, doesn't this painting look a lot like the graffiti from the Smoke Master's side?"

Yin Kong nodded slightly and said:

"It really does look like it. Shouldn't this style of painting be called abstract art?"

Of course, his tone wasn't entirely certain either.

He really knew very little about painting, especially foreign painters; he could probably only think of Van Gogh, Picasso, and Da Vinci.

"Really?" Fortunately, Paimon hadn't expected a standard answer anyway, and remarked, "But if you look closely, you'll find that although it does resemble the scrolls of the Smoke Mystery Master, it still gives off a different feeling. Those scrolls seem like they could move at any moment..."

This clearly involves a blind spot in Yin Kong's knowledge.

After all, although he had indeed seen a few scrolls, it was clear that such magical effects could not be achieved in the game.

Just like the real Liyue Harbor, it must be many times larger than Yin Kong remembered.

"Wait, Yin Kong, look at this painting! Doesn't it look a lot like the one Abedo painted for me back then?"

Paimon was naturally pointing to the very famous Mona Lisa.

However, what's displayed here is naturally a replica.

And what she was referring to was, of course, the painting "Pinali Lisa" that Abedo had slightly modified on the snowy mountain.

"It is indeed very similar."

Yin Kong was slightly surprised. So, his impression of Paimon was the same as his?

He knew, of course, that the Mona Lisa was a reference to the Mona Lisa by the game developers, but what was Mr. Abedo's reason for painting it?

Is it just a simple coincidence?

Not necessarily. The thought that Abedo had once met the enigmatic Alice in every sense of the word made Yin Kong think that he might actually have seen the Mona Lisa.

"You really like this painting, don't you, young lady? I like it very much too." Suddenly, an elderly man with a white beard appeared behind the group, smiling and saying, "No, I like all the works here very much, just like this young lady, who is very lovely."

Noticing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, the old man paused for a moment before introducing himself:

"Excuse me, I'm sorry. I'm the director of this art museum, my surname is Ochiai, nice to meet you."

Paimon waved his hand and said:

"Hello, grandpa, are you the curator here? Could you tell me the story behind this painting?"

Director Ochiai said with a smile:

"Yes, of course."

Paimon leaned close to Yin Kong and whispered:

"It seems this curator is a very easy person to talk to, although—"

Although he looked very strange with a ring of black thorns wrapped around his neck.

Before Paimon could finish speaking, the previously amiable Director Ochiai suddenly changed his expression and yelled at a young employee who was moving oil paintings:

"Kubota, what are you doing?! You must wear gloves when moving these artworks. I've told you so many times, how could you forget again?!"

The sudden loud voice startled Conan, who was trying to figure out how to get information out of him.

While Director Ochiai was reprimanding an employee named Kubota, a short, stout company president walked over with a designer, gloating:

"As always, there are very few people."

"True boss."

Director Ochiai's expression changed slightly. Yin Kong noticed that the black thorns that were originally wrapped around his neck had penetrated even deeper after Boss Manaka appeared.

"But it doesn't really matter. After all, this place will be closing down in ten days. Until then, I'd like to ask you to take care of these—long-rusted pieces of junk—for me..."

It seems it really was him.

Although this episode, like Moonshadow Island, the Library, and Bandage Manor, is one of the few cases in which Yin Kong remembers the plot.

Even if he forgot, looking at this president who was full of sarcasm, he could feel the ominous star above his head flashing wildly.

Paimon, clearly not yet understanding the laws of this world, still asked with a curious expression:

"Hey, is this art museum closing down?"

Director Ochiai sighed and explained:

"That's right. The previous owner couldn't continue to support the operation of the art museum because the company went bankrupt, so he had to sell it to Mr. Manaka."

An employee standing nearby, upon hearing this, added indignantly:

"However, Mr. Amagi only decided to sell the art museum to Mr. Manaka after hearing that Mr. Manaka was willing to continue running it. He never expected that once the transaction was completed, Mr. Manaka would plan to turn it into a more profitable restaurant..."

"Wait a minute, isn't this going back on your word?" Paimon was taken aback, then shouted at Boss Manaka, "Hey, how can you break your promise?"

Upon hearing Paimon's shout, Boss Manaka also wore a disdainful expression:

"I did say that, but I've already bought this place, and it's my freedom to change it however I want. It's none of your business."

Paimon said angrily:

"How can this not be our business? You're breaking the contract, aren't you ashamed at all?"

"Contract? Where did you come from, you savage?" Boss Zhenzhong was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "This nonsense isn't in the contract. Of course, if you want to keep the art museum, that's fine too, just pay three times the price to buy it back. How about that, am I generous?"

"A mere three times the price, I—"
