Upon seeing this, Eri Kisaki immediately adjusted her glasses:
"If that's the case, then there is indeed hope of winning. However, to determine the exact odds, we need to find the former boss and confirm what kind of agreement was made between the two parties."
Of course, it would be even better if there were a chance for these two to confront each other face to face..."
"Is that so?" Director Ochiai immediately said excitedly, "In that case, I'll go contact Mr. Amagi right now!"
Watching Curator Ochiai's hurried departure, Conan walked over to Yin Kong, tugged at his sleeve, and quietly asked:
"Brother Yin Kong, this Director Ochiai was already planning to kill Boss Manaka, right?"
As for the rumors about the armor that could move, they were just something that happened when the staff accidentally saw it during the exercise planning by Director Ochiai and then spread.
Seeing Conan's unexpected candor, Yin Kong couldn't help but feel surprised.
He wasn't surprised that Conan could guess the truth; what surprised him was the way Conan was speaking at that moment.
Is this guy no longer going to hide his identity as Shinichi Kudo?
Or perhaps it was the capture of Gin and the others that made this high school detective feel that the threat posed by the Black Organization had been greatly reduced, so he naturally became less cautious in his actions?
This is quite possible.
Furthermore, since it was the Sly Rabbit House that sent Gin and the others in, it's highly unlikely that Yin Kong is a member of that organization.
"Huh? Is that really how it is?"
This is Paimon out of the loop; the little guy clearly doesn't yet have a deep understanding of the people and resources of Beika Town.
"You're quite perceptive, little detective."
Yin Kong rubbed Conan's head and whispered:
"In my country, there is a legendary doctor whose greatest skill is not curing terminal illnesses, but discovering and curing diseases before they develop into terminal ones. I think detectives are the same. What do you think?"
Preventing crimes before they happen?
Conan was stunned when he saw Yin Kong's smile.
So that's how it is. So this is the state of being that this man was pursuing?
No wonder he runs a general store instead of a detective agency, so that he can prevent crimes before they happen as much as possible?
In the past, Conan would have thought this was simply unrealistic.
After all, even his father, Yusaku Kudo, couldn't have done such a thing.
However, he had just witnessed the transformation of Director Ochiai.
It must be admitted that this is the first time Shinichi Kudo has felt this kind of complete admiration from someone other than his father, Yusaku Kudo.
Indeed, nipping all evil in the bud is the lifelong pursuit of a detective like him!
"Speaking of which, Mr. Yin Kong, is there any progress in Miss Yoko's case?"
Just as Conan's eyes seemed to be burning with passion, Eri Kisaki, who couldn't see eye to eye even with Ran's help, came over and asked in a low voice.
Chapter 144 Gin's Nightmare
Ms. Yoko's case?
Yin Kong was taken aback; he hadn't expected that this renowned lawyer would still be concerned about this case.
Perhaps it was because the crime scene at the time left a very deep impression on her.
However, the murderer should now be on the other side of the world, and we don't know what it did that caused the talismans left by Zhongli to split apart.
Yin Kong, of course, couldn't tell the truth, so he casually said:
"That case is indeed very strange, and I haven't been able to figure it out at all."
As for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department?
Judging from how popular Emperor's Coins and various amulets have become over there recently, you can guess how things are progressing here.
"Is that so?"
Eri Kisaki was naturally disappointed.
Although the fear in her heart had lessened considerably after she wore the Emperor's Coin, the case remained unresolved, like the other half of a shoe that hadn't yet landed, which always bothered her greatly.
A case that even Yin Kong couldn't solve?
Hearing their conversation, Conan's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested:
"Brother Yin Kong, what kind of case is it that even you can't solve?"
Unfortunately, before Yin Kong could even speak, Eri patted Conan on the shoulder and said:
"Little one, this is not something you should be asking about at your age."
Conan hesitated for a moment, but decided to lie and praise her:
"Isn't Uncle Mori here? He's a detective too, maybe he can find some clues?"
Eri Kisaki chuckled:
"Him? Let's forget about him."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Although Uncle Mori seemed indifferent, he had actually been secretly listening to the commotion the whole time. Upon hearing this, he walked over, put his arm around Yin Kong's shoulder, and said smugly:
"My relationship with Brother Yin Kong is far beyond what you, a woman, can compare to. If you encounter any questions, as a senior, I'd be happy to guide you. You agree, right, Brother Yin Kong?"
Yin Kong: Right, right?
Seeing Kogoro Mouri and Yoru's intimate posture with their arms around each other, Eri Kisaki's eyes twitched slightly.
"Giving pointers? I think it's more like leading people astray."
"Stop talking nonsense." Uncle Mori raised an eyebrow smugly, and quickly asked, "So, Brother Yin Kong, what's the situation with Miss Yoko's case? But Miss Yoko, it can't be Miss Okino Yoko, can it?"
Eri Kisaki snorted, but didn't say anything.
Although she really wanted to tell Kogoro Mouri that it was his favorite popular idol, it was clear that her professional ethics as a lawyer made her just hum and not reveal anyone's privacy.
However, she was clearly unaware that there was also a Teyvat super-sized sieve on site.
Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "Eh?"
"Oh, does Uncle Mori know Miss Yoko too?"
"what?!"
Kogoro Mouri's expression changed instantly. He had only made a casual remark, but judging from Paimon's words, it actually had something to do with his most beloved idol. He quickly asked:
"Brother Yin Kong, could it really be a case related to Miss Yoko?"
Seeing Uncle Mori's eyes shining with energy, as if he'd been injected with chicken blood, Yin Kong sighed helplessly:
"I'm sorry, but in principle, our Rabbit House will not disclose any details of the commission."
And sir, your wife is right across from you, staring at you. Aren't you going to be a little more discreet?
Yin Kong could even sense that Eri Kisaki was about to emanate a killing intent.
"Come on, Brother Yin Kong, what kind of relationship do we have that we need to be so clear about?"
And why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner?
Paimon asked in confusion:
"Was this really that important?"
Eri Kisaki sighed and shook her head, saying:
"Little Paimeng, don't pay any attention to this idiot."
"In that case, please help me get a copy of Ms. Yoko's autograph. I beg you, Brother Yin Kong, this is my lifelong request!"
Wait, doesn't this sentence sound familiar?
Yin Kong's expression was subtle. Speaking of which, could it be that Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi were born in the same hospital?
Otherwise, why would he think that Uncle Mori and Sonoko are the real father and daughter?
"Brother Mori, whether or not that Ms. Yoko is the one you're guessing, we're just in a regular commission relationship, and I'm afraid we can't help you with this."
Paimon was taken aback by Yin Kong's answer.
Are they really that distant from Ms. Yoko?
Besides, it's just an autograph, you can get it easily, right?
"No, little one."
However, just as Paimon was about to express his doubts, he heard Eri's reminder.
The renowned lawyer was now looking at her with a smile on his face.
"It's better not to say certain things carelessly."
"Good, good."
Paimon, who felt a sudden sense of oppression, immediately nodded and swallowed his questions.
Strange ceiling.
Gin opened his eyes and found himself lying in a hospital.
He instinctively reached for the gun, but immediately felt a sharp, piercing pain.
Immediately, all the events of yesterday, along with the pain, flooded his mind like a tidal wave.
Gin desperately hoped that he was having a dark nightmare.
Unfortunately, the multiple fractures and excruciating pain made him realize that this was the cruel reality.
Who exactly is that guy?
Wait, is that guy really human?
Battle with Yin Kong —
No, it should be the scene of being unilaterally beaten and humiliated kept replaying in Gin's mind.
He was absolutely certain that it was a power and speed that no human could possess.
At least, they weren't the normal humans he knew.
Was it some kind of cutting-edge equipment he didn't understand?
Or are they biological weapons cultivated in a laboratory?
Gin couldn't guess the answer to that question.
However, he now finally understood why that cunning woman would rather endure the BOSS's punishment than abandon the mission.
This kind of guy can't be dealt with by conventional weapons.
Gin had thought he was well-prepared, but now it seemed his preparations were far from sufficient. If only he could—
Gin quickly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
What's the point of thinking about these things now?
Moreover, what exactly is that broken sword, and why does it make me want to snatch it back like a madman?
Gin still clearly remembers how he felt at that time. Greed and bloodlust completely overwhelmed his reason, a situation that was completely unimaginable for him.
In fact, many of the fractures he has now were not caused by Yin Kong, but by his own frantic struggle.
And what is this feeling of loss in the heart?
Chapter 145 Rum
Ever since he woke up, Gin has felt as if his heart has been ripped out.
But in fact, his heart was beating perfectly fine in his chest cavity.
Why is that?
"Who are you?"
