People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

Chapter 247 Breaking the Rules

"Distinguished guests, please take note of the stage. Mr. Yusaku Kudo, who was in charge of providing the game stage design, has now returned from the United States!"

Amidst applause from the audience, Yusaku Kudo slowly walked onto the stage.

"In addition, I would like to introduce another person to you here, Mr. Asakawa Yu!"

This gentleman is also very accomplished at a young age. He not only provided a lot of ideas for game development, but also, as an important investor in Cocoon Games, further collaborated with Syndora.

He is a true leader among the younger generation; let's give him a round of applause!

"Oh!!!"

Amidst thunderous applause, Asakawa Yuya walked onto the stage with a smile and waved to the audience.

Because of his good looks and friendly smile, he attracted the attention of the female guests in the audience.

"He looks to be in pretty good shape."

"It's not just good, it's absolutely perfect!"

Below the stage, Conan, Akemi, and the others watched Asakawa Hare and Kudo Yusaku walk onto the stage, and they all expressed their feelings about this scene.

As she spoke, Ai Haibara turned her head to look around, then glanced at Akemi with a smile, "But sister, that guy seems to be quite popular."

After saying that, Ai Haibara gestured with her lip towards the group of girls who were eyeing Asakawa Hayao covetously, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer.

When her younger sister teased her like that, Akemi was so angry she laughed.

"Well, you little Ai, you even dare to flirt with your own sister."

As she spoke, Akemi jokingly raised her fist.

"But wow, that guy actually did something really big behind our backs."

After the joke, Ai Haibara looked at Asakawa Yu on the stage again, her eyes filled with some thoughts.

"Perhaps the boss has his own ideas."

Mingmei, however, was inclined to believe that her boss must have his reasons for doing this. She knew that her boss would never do something without a profit motive.

Now that he has managed to go this far, even exposing himself to the public, it means that something important must be involved. But no matter what they think, they can't figure out what it is.

It can't possibly be really related to this game, right?

"Oh! I'm finally back."

Just as Ai Haibara and Akemi were chatting, with Conan standing aside listening quietly, Professor Agasa's voice suddenly reached their ears.

"Oh, it's the Doctor! I was just wondering where you'd been all month. You finally came back, but you went out again so soon."

Upon seeing that it was Professor Agasa, Conan couldn't help but start complaining.

"Doctor, you're back too."

"Oh! It's Ayami. Yes, she just arrived last night."

Akemi greeted him, and Professor Agasa naturally smiled and returned the greeting.

Ayami Karasawa's true identity is Ai Haibara's older sister, and now that he treats Ai as his granddaughter, Ayami is practically family to him.

"Well, aren't you surprised?" the doctor asked with a smile.

"Hehe, that's alright, but I'm more surprised by something else."

As he spoke, Conan turned his gaze to Asakawa Yu, who was speaking eloquently on the stage.

"You mean Yu?" Seeing Conan's gaze shift in that direction, Professor Agasa immediately realized what Conan meant.

Conan's meaning was clear: he was very curious as to why Asakawa Yu was also involved in this matter.

"To be honest, I was surprised too." The doctor stroked his beard.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Conan asked, looking like a curious child. Akemi and Ai Haibara leaned closer, wanting to hear what the professor had to say.

"Actually..."

Later, the doctor explained to the others what happened after he went to the United States, including his encounter with Asakawa Yu there, but he didn't know why Asakawa Yu did what she did.

"I still don't know anything." Conan deflated like a punctured balloon.

However, Akemi and Ai Haibara did not react the same way he did; instead, they showed expressions of "I knew it."

"Oh, right, Ayami, I have something Yu asked me to bring you. Here you go. Oh, and Conan has one too."

After saying that, Professor Agasa took out two badges from his pocket and handed them to Conan and Akemi respectively.

"this is?"

"I think you'll like it. As for Ayami's, it was specially asked by Yu to be brought to you by me."

When Mingmei saw it, she was also taken aback.

But then something occurred to her, and she asked in confusion, "But Doctor, I remember that this game is only for children under 18, isn't it?"

The implication is clear: she's already well over 18, so giving her this wouldn't be of much use, would it?

"Haha, you don't need to worry about that. Ayu has already made arrangements with them."

Hearing Professor Agasa say this, even Ai Haibara couldn't help but become curious.

What method does Asakawa Yu have to get the Syndora Corporation to break this rule?

But in the next second, their doubts were resolved.

The host on stage, microphone in hand, continued his introduction:

"This time, Mr. Asakawa's investment in this game is not just a simple matter. In fact, he will also be a special guest of the game, experiencing this groundbreaking game with his lover!"

These words caused a huge uproar in the room. The men were marveling at how young Asakawa still looked, while the women were more concerned about the fact that Asakawa Yu already had a girlfriend.

Having finally found such a successful and wealthy young man, only to be told that someone else has already snatched him up, it's impossible to be happy about that.

"I never expected him to have this trick up his sleeve."

Ai Haibara, standing below the stage, sighed with emotion. At this moment, Conan couldn't help but admire Yu Asakawa.

"But I can't just abandon them like this..."

After saying that, Conan smiled and turned back to look at Genta and Ayumi, who were gathered together and whispering to each other.

He then made the same decision as Ai Haibara.

"Hehe, I think the chances of us getting into the game together are pretty high."

Ai Haibara crossed her arms and looked in their direction, just like Conan.

"What are you saying? You don't actually believe in the methods that Asakawa mentioned, do you?"

Seeing that Conan still looked unconvinced, Ai Haibara couldn't help but smile slightly, glancing at him with a mischievous look. "Is that so? Then we'll wait and see."
