Xia Ye smiled and comforted Xiao Lan, then continued:
"Also, eight million yen is indeed a lot compared to your father's previous cases, but given his nationally renowned detective reputation, it's not much at all. Yoko can earn hundreds of millions for a single endorsement!"
Eight million yen is equivalent to sixty thousand US dollars.
In a world that particularly reveres detectives, the remuneration for a nationally renowned star detective is only this much—not to mention enough to feed beggars, it's actually quite ordinary.
"You're right—"
Xiaolan nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
She subconsciously thought that her father was still the same somewhat decadent detective who specialized in extramarital affairs, ignoring his enormous reputation in Japan, especially in Tokyo.
Please have him supervise the game.
Mr. Nakajima and Manten also made a profit!
Hundreds of thousands of units have been sold in the pre-sale!
At the feet of the two.
Conan, who had come over to eavesdrop, couldn't help but nod.
Xia Ye is right.
Uncle's reputation did indeed experience an explosive rise, but he and Xiaolan didn't feel anything about it.
That's incredibly carefree.
As for his own substitute playing—
Conan pushed up his glasses and smiled.
I had a very pleasant time with my uncle.
Consider it payment for him.
I moved into the Mouri Detective Agency so that I could live under the same roof as Ran, but Ran moved out right away. However, my relationship with my uncle has become very good. So, it's a trade-off!
He sighed inwardly.
Conan looked around the exhibition hall.
His eyes sharpened when he saw a certain corner!
That is——!
The man, dressed entirely in black—a black suit, a black top hat—radiated an aura of menacing hostility, making him feel incredibly dangerous. Could it be—
Is it someone from that black organization?
Conan instantly perked up.
"Sister Xiaolan—"
"I want to go play Mario Kart over there!"
Conan tilted his head back, his expression obedient, showing no sign of anything amiss. Ran naturally didn't stop him; she smiled slightly and said:
"Go!"
The body of Conan, an elementary school student, houses the high school detective Shinichi Kudo. The butterfly voice changer, retractable straps, tranquilizer watch, and most importantly, the Zuli Jian (a type of health device), all of which are considered "black Conan gadgets," have been revealed to Ran by Natsume.
Thus.
Xiao Lan naturally wouldn't worry about him.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaolan~"
Conan quickly thanked him and ran into the crowd.
"Speaking of this Mr. Xia Ye—"
"Have I seen this place before?"
Takeshita Hironobu, who seemed somewhat timid, didn't really want to participate in his two colleagues' conversation. He looked at Natsume and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Of course you've seen it!"
Hideaki Nakajima was already annoyed by Koji Ueda's rude remarks, but seeing a new topic, he immediately perked up and smiled:
"This Mr. Natsuha is none other than Inspector Akiyama Natsuha from the Metropolitan Police Department, who has been frequently appearing in the media recently. He has solved quite a few cases, and his media presence is no less than that of Mr. Mori!"
"I remembered!"
Takeshita Hironobu suddenly realized, his face lighting up with delight as he quickly said, "I've heard so much about you."
however--
A hint of tension flashed in his eyes.
With Officer Xia Ye around, I wonder if things will go smoothly for me today?
It is no coincidence.
Hideaki Nakajima, who was introducing Xia Ye's deeds to him, was actually a little uneasy, as what he was about to do today was also something that could not be seen by others.
What if we get caught?
Being held accountable by the company is one thing, but he has no idea what dangerous things the mysterious person he traded with might do!
Both of them have their own hidden agendas.
On the contrary, top laner Kouji, who seemed to perfectly fit the characteristics of a dying man, simply hurled insults, and his two colleagues, each with their own plans, couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

When they mentioned themselves.
Xia Ye smiled slightly, as if speaking casually:
"I am indeed Akiyama Natsuyo, but I'm just here to play with Ran today. Please don't worry about me, and have a great time!"
"Haha, yes!"
Hideaki Nakajima laughed heartily and extended an invitation:
"Then let us show Mr. Mori, Ms. Ran, and Mr. Natsume around this exhibition hall. We're professionals, and we can introduce you to the features of each game!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Nakajima!"
Uncle Mori isn't a big fan of games, but since it's someone else's press conference, he shouldn't have said something as tactless as "I don't want to play."
He decided to let his daughter and future son-in-law go play later, while he chatted with the three employees of the company. Once noon came, the buffet on the upper floor would begin, and that would be his show!
Xiaolan and Xiaye exchanged a glance.
After exchanging glances, they agreed.
...
In front of an arcade machine similar to The King of Fighters.
Xia Ye controlled a scantily clad, sexy female fighter who was cool and pleasing to the eye, but Xiao Lan controlled a black-haired girl with a bun hairstyle who wore a charming cheongsam with a high slit and took her down in one combo.
"Yay! I won again!"
Xiao Lan glanced at Xia Ye sitting next to her, her pretty face beaming with smiles, and raised her hands in cheers, not at all afraid of upsetting her boyfriend!
but--
Xiaolan wasn't worried at all.
Aside from the occasional jealousy, Xia Ye has almost never been angry, especially towards girls he likes. He is very gentle and tolerant, and he wouldn't get angry if she showed off her cuteness so much!

"Not bad!"
Xia Ye affectionately pinched her little face:
"This is a new game, Xiaolan, you've never even played it before, yet you easily pulled off such a perfect combo, you're really strong!"
"Yup!"
Standing to the side, Koji Ueda chimed in:
"The move list for that combo was quite complex; Miss Ran's ability to execute it is truly impressive!"
"No la!"
Xiao Lan waved her hand modestly and explained:
"I don't know anything about move lists, I just randomly pressed a few buttons!"
"what?"
The three employees of Full Heaven were all surprised.
The fact that you can pull off such a complex special move just by randomly pressing buttons must make the developers of this fighting game very "happy." I definitely need to have a chat with them when I see them later.
In contrast to the overreaction of the employees at Paradise.
Xia Ye didn't care at all.
Xiao Lan is a born lucky charm.
It's just a matter of the order of a few buttons, how could it possibly be difficult for her?
That concludes my arcade experience.
Takeshita Yunobu suddenly said:
"Mr. Mori, Ms. Ran, and Mr. Natsume, there's an interesting machine over there. Would you like to try it out?"
"it is good!"
There is nothing wrong with the three of them.
Soon everyone arrived at the machine.
"boxing?"
Xiao Lan looked at the machine in front of her, which had a large screen and a boxing glove hanging next to it, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.
"Yes, this is a machine for testing boxing power, but we usually use it to vent our frustrations—"
At this point, Takeshita Hironobu suddenly looked at Nakajima Hideaki, a slight smile on his face, and said:
"Nakajima, you demonstrate!"
"Good~"
Hideaki Nakajima had no suspicions.
He naturally took off his suit jacket and handed it to Takeshita Hironobu.
Wearing boxing gloves, he calmed himself and punched the target area. Immediately, the large screen on the machine flashed with light effects and displayed a number: 348!
"Great!"
Takeshita Hironobu returned the suit to Nakajima Hideaki, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, but outwardly he continued to shower him with praise:
"As expected of the star player of the boxing club in college, an average person's strength score of over 250 is already very strong. Nakajima, I doubt anyone will be able to break your number today!"
"No, it's not that exaggerated!"
Hideaki Nakajima spoke modestly, but his eyes betrayed a deep sense of pride. However, Natsume thought he had every right to be proud.
After all, a very strong-looking man just scored 246, which shows that Hideaki Nakajima does know a bit about power generation techniques.
but--
Xia Ye's attention was not actually on this.
While everyone was distracted, Takeshita Hironobu, who was holding Nakajima Hideaki's suit, quietly swapped his locker number with the other person's and has already begun his operation.
only.
Takeshita Hironobu hadn't expected this.
If no one interferes.
He would then achieve the feat of a regular person single-handedly killing a named member of the Black Organization, Zhenjiu!
This is a truly remarkable achievement! II.
