Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

"Mr. Yin Kong, aren't you a professional in this area?"

She had always thought that Cunning Rabbit House was actually a mysterious organization, and that All-Purpose Agency was just a cover name.

A young Onmyoji of unknown origin, driving a strange white floating spirit companion, exorcising demons and dispelling evil—isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?

Yin Kong shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid I'm just as clueless as you are about the origins of these monsters. All I know is that they wander around and crave human flesh and blood."

Ono Yoko was a little disappointed, but quickly asked:

"Then what should we do now? Call the police?"

Yin Kong immediately rejected the idea:

"Of course not. What if there's no such thing as an official organization? How would we explain what happened in your apartment?"

Paimon agreed:

"Yeah, they'd think we're crazy."

Besides, it would be quite bad if they were mistaken for the culprits.

Yin Kong hadn't forgotten that, strictly speaking, he was still an undocumented person without an identity.

He glanced at the mission prompt and said:

"How about this, let's first prepare our alibis."

Alibis?

As Ono Yoko was confused, she heard Yin Kong explain:

"We haven't really been seen by anyone else on this trip. Only Mr. Yamagishi went to the apartment's security room. So, as long as we are inadvertently seen by someone now, we can at least clear our suspicion and won't be suspected by the police as the culprits."

Paimon suddenly understood:

"Oh, I get it! If there really are professionals in the police, they'll keep investigating even in this situation, right?"

Ono Yoko nodded as if she understood:

"Then what should I do? Should I go out with Mr. Yin Kong now?"

"That's right," Yin Kong nodded gently, taking in Ono Yoko's current attire. "However, Miss Yoko needs to disguise herself a bit. Wearing a pair of sunglasses would be good."

Ono Yoko asked doubtfully:

"Why do I need to wear sunglasses? Won't I be recognized?"

Before Yin Kong could explain, Paimon wagged a finger with a smug look:

"I know, I know! It's because we need to be discovered unintentionally. If we don't disguise ourselves at all, it will seem too deliberate. You're getting quite the criminal mastermind, aren't you?"

Chapter 22: Divine Power of the System

"This is it."

Yin Kong quickly left the apartment with the disguised Ono Yoko, and they headed together to a corner at the exit of a parking lot on the next street.

"Mr. Yin Kong, are we just going to stand here?"

Ono Yoko, naturally, couldn't see the mission guidance. Seeing Yin Kong simply have her wait there without any further action, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"That's right. As for the reason, Miss Yoko will know soon enough."

Yin Kong didn't actually know what was special about this place, but based on his experience, the system's mission guidance might not be the optimal solution, but it was often the most reliable.

The two didn't wait long before Yin Kong heard hurried footsteps.

With his reaction speed, he could naturally pull Ono Yoko away in advance.

But Yin Kong didn't do that, because he was familiar with the mission style and knew very well that this might be the "opportunity" they were waiting for.

As expected, the person with the hurried footsteps soon collided with Ono Yoko, who couldn't dodge in time, sending them both tumbling.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

The person Yin Kong had ambushed was a beautiful, young, black-haired woman.

She was in a hurry and carrying a stack of paper documents.

Because she fell on her rear, the documents scattered all over the ground.

Yin Kong reached out and pulled up Ono Yoko, who had fallen to the ground and seemed completely dazed, and asked meaningfully:

"Miss Yoko, are you alright?"

Ono Yoko finally reacted. Seeing Yin Kong's gaze, a pained expression immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing the idol stumble, Yin Kong quickly reached out and supported her.

"Hiss, it hurts so much. I think I twisted my ankle."

Yin Kong praised inwardly, As expected of a popular idol. Not only is her comprehension high, but her acting skills are also seamless. Even I can't detect any flaws in her pained voice.

The hurried woman finally reacted and repeatedly bowed in apology:

"I'm so sorry! Terribly sorry!"

However, seeing the documents scattered all over the floor as she apologized, her expression instantly turned to despair:

It's over, my appointment time is almost here!

"Kuriyama, I told you not to rush so much," a mature, sharp, and capable woman wearing glasses said, walking quickly in her high heels. "After you got out of the car, I received a call from Mrs. Harano. She had an urgent matter to attend to, so today's appointment is canceled."

"The appointment is canceled? Phew—that's a relief. If Lawyer Fei was late because of me, I would be utterly ashamed."

The young woman called Kuriyama looked relieved and quickly turned her gaze back to Yin Kong and Ono Yoko.

Before she could speak, Ono Yoko's phone rang.

Taking out her phone, Ono Yoko unconsciously looked at Yin Kong.

It was an unfamiliar number. If nothing unexpected happened, it was likely the police.

And indeed, after the call was connected, the other party quickly introduced themselves as being from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

They informed Ono Yoko that a suspected homicide had occurred in her apartment and asked her to return immediately to assist with the investigation.

After the call ended, the mature woman with glasses politely inquired:

"Can I help you two with anything?"

As Yin Kong and Ono Yoko looked over, she immediately introduced herself:

"My name is Fei Yingli, and I'm a lawyer."

So it is you.

In fact, when Miss Kuriyama called her Lawyer Fei, Yin Kong had already vaguely guessed her identity.

Her surname was Fei, she was a lawyer, and she was so mature and beautiful—the possibility of mistaking her was very small.

After taking the business card handed over by Kuriyama Midori, he was completely certain that this was indeed the mother of the protagonist, Mori Ran, the great lawyer known by the elegant title "Unbeatable Queen of the Legal World."

Yin Kong hadn't expected that the mission guidance would involve her to provide them with an alibi.

However, thinking about it, in Yin Kong's memory, the culprits who asked members of the protagonist group to provide false testimony didn't seem to have a good ending, did they?

Of course, strictly speaking, they weren't really culprits, were they?

Yin Kong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to trust the system's divine power and asked Fei Yingli to drive them back to the apartment:

"If you could, that would be a great help."

"It's just a small favor. Besides, my assistant accidentally bumped into you, so we should be the ones apologizing."

Of course, while Yin Kong was observing Fei Yingli, the great lawyer Fei was also quietly sizing them up.

Yin Kong was one thing. Although he wasn't a stunningly handsome guy, he had a peculiar aura that made people want to trust and rely on him.

At least in Fei Yingli's opinion, he was much more pleasing to the eye than her daughter's boisterous childhood friend.

But Ono Yoko was different. With her large hat and sunglasses, it was hard not to find her suspicious.

Furthermore, although she didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on phone calls, she had vaguely heard words like "homicide" and "investigation" earlier.

As Yin Kong helped Ono Yoko into the car, the popular idol finally found an opportunity and whispered into his ear:

"Actually, I really did sprain my ankle."

Yin Kong suddenly understood. As expected of the mission guidance, was this also within your calculations?

"I'm sorry, please bear with it a little longer."

"There's no need to apologize."

Ono Yoko was naturally not such a delicate person. She said that only because she was worried Yin Kong might make a wrong judgment.

After fastening her seatbelt, Fei Yingli looked at the two whispering in the rearview mirror and raised an eyebrow, asking:

"Are you two a couple?"

Ono Yoko was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to deny it, she hesitated and looked at Yin Kong.

If they weren't a couple, wouldn't their whispering just now seem suspicious?

Yin Kong shook his head and smiled:

"Lawyer Fei, you've misunderstood. We're just friends."

Hearing this answer, Ono Yoko felt relieved, but at the same time, a sense of loss inevitably arose in her heart.

"Friends? That's fine too," Fei Yingli raised an eyebrow and casually said, "Men your age are best at sweet-talking. Don't let your emotions get the better of you—"

Ono Yoko immediately corrected her with an excited and serious expression:

"You've misunderstood. Yin Kong is absolutely not that kind of person!"

Seeing this reaction, even Kuriyama Midori, who was driving, understood and felt that even if the two weren't a couple yet, they were close to it.

Fei Yingli helplessly sighed, resting her forehead in her hand. However, she also knew very well that under these circumstances, any further persuasion from her would have minimal effect.

Noticing that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit awkward, Kuriyama Midori casually turned on the car radio, and beautiful music immediately filled the car.

"Even if the sun sets, darkness will no longer imprison me. My future life will surely be like this..."

Ono Yoko froze, and couldn't help but look at Yin Kong again.

Even with his sunglasses on, Yin Kong could sense the surprise in her eyes.

The reason was simple: Kuriyama Midori was currently playing a song sung by Ono Yoko herself.

Was this also Yin Kong's arrangement?

Or was it merely a coincidence?

If it was a deliberate arrangement, it was too incredible to believe.

Chapter 23: Returning to the Scene

Ono Yoko's eyes were filled with disbelief.

If Yin Kong could arrange for them to coincidentally run into Fei Yingli, while coincidental, there was still a way to explain it. But this current scene truly made her rack her brain, unable to figure out how it could have been done.

Noticing Ono Yoko's unusual reaction, Kuriyama Midori couldn't help but ask:

"Don't you like this song? I'll change it then."

Despite her hidden thoughts, Ono Yoko's mood inevitably became very complicated:

"No need, it's not that I dislike it—"

"Wait! This voice?"

Kuriyama Midori finally froze.

She had actually always felt Ono Yoko's voice sounded familiar, but she hadn't given it much thought.

It wasn't until this moment, when Ono Yoko's spoken words and singing voice sounded together, that she finally realized:

"You are... Miss Yoko?!"
