Genshin Impact players in the world of Detective Conan

Just as Paimon was about to blurt it out, Yin Kong reached out and stopped the little guy:

"Paimon, don't be fooled."

If this guy were to buy the art museum for three times the price, he'd be making a killing.

"Mr. Manaka, are you sure you want to break the contract?"

"What contract? It's just a verbal agreement. Young man, this is what business is all about. If you all try to do business honestly like this old man, how will you ever make any money?"

After saying that, Boss Zhenzhong seemed too lazy to argue with them any longer and turned to leave.

Why is this person like this?

Paimon stomped his foot hard, extremely angry.

Of course, Xiaolan and the others were also very indignant, after all, no one likes someone who goes back on their word.

However, Yin Kong looked at Director Ochiai, who was planning to secretly follow them, and asked:

"Director Ochiai, is it really worth it?"

Chapter 142 Turnaround

"Director Ochiai, is it really worth it?"

Upon hearing Yin Kong's words, Director Ochiai, who had originally planned to leave quietly, stopped and said in a low voice:

"Young man, you mean there are only ten days left before closing, and I'm still doing my best to maintain this art museum? Heh, even though there are only ten days left, I still—"

“That’s not what I was talking about. When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” Yin Kong shook his head, interrupting Director Ochiai’s monologue, and asked again, “Is it really worth falling into the abyss for someone like this?”

This time, Director Ochiai finally couldn't help but turn around, looking at Yin Kong with a shocked expression:

How did you know—?

Others might not understand, but how could he not understand? Yin Kong was saying that he was planning to kill Boss Zhenzhong.

But this is only the first time I've met Yin Kong, isn't it?

He never revealed his murder plan to anyone else, so how did Yin Kong find out?

“Director Ochiai, although I am not a detective, I still have basic reasoning skills.”

Of course, Yin Kong couldn't tell Director Ochiai directly, "I remember you, the one who, while wearing plate armor, picked up the fat president with one hand and pinned him to the wall with a sword, the Mihana Superman."

At the same time, the story of the dragon slayer ultimately becoming the dragon himself, and the fact that the prisoner did not go through the rare process of kneeling, crying, and confessing, were all enough to leave a deep impression on him.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yin Kong, the owner of the Omnipotent Detective Agency, Rabbit House."

"And me, my best friend Paimon!"

After listening to their self-introductions, Director Ochiai stood there stunned for several seconds before sighing:

"Is this fate? It seems that the rumors circulating outside have made you think of this. Mr. Yin Kong, you must be a very remarkable detective."

"You flatter me." Yin Kong nodded slightly and asked, "So, what is your choice, Curator?"

"Do I have a choice?" Director Ochiai smiled helplessly and said frankly, "Since you have already guessed my plan, I can't just go my own way, can I?"

Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"That's not the case. If you are prepared to bear all the consequences, I will not stop you."

Of course, this is on the premise that you are truly prepared and not acting on impulse.

Upon hearing this, Director Ochiai was completely stunned.

Seeing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Mr. Yin Kong, Director Ochiai, what are you talking about?"

What abyss, what fate, what enlightenment?

What is all this nonsense? She doesn't understand a word of it.

Conan is the same as Kogoro Mouri, especially Conan. When Director Ochiai praised Yoruichi as a great detective, he immediately shifted his attention from the mysterious Black Organization to the art museum.

Clearly, Director Ochiai's heartfelt praise must be because Yoon Sora discovered something.

But they entered the art museum together.

Furthermore, because of the Black Organization, Conan had been observing Yin Kong's every move and was quite certain that apart from being focused on playing with Paimon, he had not discovered anything that could be called a clue.

The only clue might be what Director Ochiai mentioned: the rumor that there are walking armors in the museum.

But what secret is hidden within this?

Yin Kong was able to detect the anomaly and even guess the truth based on just a few words, so he is a very remarkable detective.

In other words, if someone like him, who has received numerous hints, still couldn't deduce the truth, wouldn't that mean he's not a good detective and his skills are inferior?

Although this wasn't the first time he'd lost, and he hadn't even had a chance to reclaim the title of Detective Shinichi Kudo yet, it was something Conan simply couldn't accept if he lost so badly that he couldn't even see Yin Kong's back.

In contrast, Uncle Mori naturally didn't have such a competitive spirit—

More accurately, he was actually just like Xiaolan, completely unaware of anything unusual, so he asked with a curious expression:

"Yes, what are you talking about? Do you two know each other?"

Yin Kong explained:

"No, we've only just met, but I just feel that rather than falling into the abyss of destruction, we should think of a way to save ourselves."

Yin Kong's words struck like a heavy hammer, making both Director Ochiai and Conan shudder.

Destruction? Salvation?

Conan finally realized something, abruptly looked up, and stared incredulously at Director Ochiai. Could it be that he had originally intended to—

Director Ochiai, oblivious to Conan's gaze, looked at Yin Kong with hopeful eyes and asked:

Is there really still a chance of salvation?

If he hadn't already tried all the possibilities, why would he choose the most extreme approach?

"It seems you've made your choice."

Yin Kong smiled slightly; Director Ochiai's question actually represented his attitude.

Even though the dark thorns on his neck seemed to be stimulated again, growing longer and longer until they almost pierced through Ochiai’s throat, he remained unmoved.

Paimon suddenly realized:

"I finally understand, Yin Kong, you want to save this art museum, right? But didn't you just say that buying it would only benefit that bad guy?"

Clearly, in Paimon's eyes, the untrustworthy Mr. Manaka had become a bad guy.

“That’s the worst-case scenario, of course, but things shouldn’t have gotten to that point yet.” Yin Kong patted Paimon’s head and said with a smile, “However, we might need to consult a professional.”

About twenty minutes later, a familiar and tall figure appeared in the art museum.

Upon seeing the figure, Xiaolan immediately exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.

Clearly, the young girl never expected that the professional Yoon Kong wanted to consult was actually her mother, the undefeated queen of the courtroom, Eri Kisaki.

"Mr. Yin Kong, you actually know my mother?"

Yin Kong nodded slightly and explained:

"I had the good fortune to meet you because of a case we were involved in before."

Xiaolan remembered something and exclaimed with delight:

"So, Mr. Yin Kong, all those praises about Dad that you heard were said by Mom?"

This is naturally a wonderful misunderstanding.

Although Yoon Kong and Eri Ki are already friends, their relationship is clearly not yet close enough for them to talk about family.

Eri Kisaki clearly hadn't expected to run into her daughter and Uncle Mori here:

"How come you are here?"

"Why can't we be here?" Before Xiaolan could explain, Uncle Mori snorted, "Xiaolan, you're too naive. How could this woman possibly say a single good word about me?"

Chapter 143 Conan Ignites His Fighting Spirit

Xiao Lan shouted angrily.

Unfortunately, this tactic, which used to be very effective, was now ineffective.

Therefore, she could only turn to Yin Kong for help.

Yin Kong naturally didn't want to get involved in the couple's flirtatious banter, but since it was Xiao Lan's request, he coughed and said:

“That’s right, Attorney Fei has said a lot—”

“Mr. Yin Kong, there’s no need for that.” Unfortunately, Eri Kisaki snorted and interrupted him, saying coldly, “Just like this guy said, I have never said a single good word about him.”

Yin Kong shrugged, indicating that he was indeed powerless to help.

Seeing her parents on the verge of conflict, Xiaolan immediately tried to smooth things over with an awkward laugh:

"So, Mom, what questions did Mr. Yin Kong ask you?"

“It’s about verbal promises.” Eri Kisaki straightened her hair and explained, “Mr. Yoon Kong consulted me about whether verbal promises have legal effect. This is a very complicated issue and it’s hard to explain over the phone, so I had to make a trip here.”

Uncle Mori curled his lip and said:

"What's so complicated about this? How can something just spoken have legal effect? ​​It seems that this so-called great lawyer is nothing but a fraud; he doesn't even understand this most basic principle?"

Eri Kisaki sneered:

"I think someone else is right. Verbal agreements can also be legally binding, but they need to meet certain conditions... How can someone who doesn't even know this, and he's a former detective?"

Uncle Mori immediately defended himself:

"That's because I handle all major cases and have no interest in dealing with trivial business disputes."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yin Kong had to remind them:

"Ahem, gentlemen, could you please deal with the important matters first?"

"That's true."

Eri gently touched her forehead, and as expected, she stopped arguing with Uncle Mori. She looked at Yoon Sora and Director Ochiai and explained:

"However, although verbal agreements do have a certain legal effect, without evidence such as recordings or notaries, it would be very difficult to prove their existence."

“Yeah, if we asked him in court, no one would be stupid enough to admit it, right?” Paimon scratched his head, then suddenly his eyes lit up. “Wait, what if we went to ask that Mr. Zhenzhong now? Given his arrogant attitude, he definitely wouldn’t deny it, right? What if we took the opportunity—”

"That won't do, little one."

Seeing the excited Paimon, Eri Kisaki bent down and reminded him:

"There are many requirements for recordings to be used as evidence. Generally speaking, it is most basic that the person being recorded is informed in advance; otherwise, there will be suspicion of inducement, and even if it contains a lot of unfavorable evidence, it will be difficult for the judge to accept it..."

Paimon was taken aback, then said dejectedly:

"But isn't it the same principle? If you tell them in advance, would anyone be foolish enough to admit it?"

"What?" Uncle Mori shook his head and said, "Someone talked so big, but in the end, he was powerless."

Eri Kisaki glared at him irritably. She was just a lawyer, not a sorcerer, and couldn't conjure up evidence under these circumstances.

Yin Kong asked:

"What if it wasn't taken secretly?"

Fei Ying thought for a moment and replied:

"In that case, it depends on the specific circumstances."

"Hey, Yin Kong, you were recording just now?" Paimon asked, puzzled, but quickly added, "But, I've said before, secretly recording isn't very useful, is it?"

"Of course it's not me, it's it."

Everyone looked in the direction Yin Kong was pointing and found that he was pointing to a camera.

"Oh right!" Xiaolan was taken aback at first, then exclaimed with delight, "The art museum is a public place, Mom, can the video footage from the art museum be used as evidence?"

The group quickly arrived at the video room and found the video of Paimon arguing with Boss Zhenzhong.

"I did say that, that's true..."
