The next morning, the sun shone brightly, its warm rays energizing everyone. At the amusement park, Shinichi Kudo had just arrived as arranged, only to find that besides Ran, Professor Yun Feng and his beautiful, "violent" assistant were also tagging along.

"Hey, Ran, why are they coming along?" Shinichi Kudo rubbed his arm, complaining resentfully. That assistant had hit him yesterday, and it had hurt for ages.

Ran waved her hand and said, "Shinichi, they're my friends now. Yesterday, you weren't listening seriously, so you can't blame them. Big Brother Yun and Big Sister Xiaoyu are very nice people, you know." With that, Ran gave Yun Feng and Yun Xiaoyu an apologetic smile and introduced, "Big Brother Yun, Big Sister Xiaoyu, this is my good friend Shinichi Kudo."

Yun Feng nodded, smiling at Shinichi Kudo, "Hello. I apologize for yesterday's incident, but that is Xiaoyu's job; she has the responsibility to maintain classroom order for me. Please forgive her and don't blame her."

"Alright, well, it was nothing serious anyway. No matter. I heard you're a world-renowned expert in criminal psychology, Professor. I wonder if you could tell me a bit about that field?" Shinichi Kudo said, most interested in things related to solving cases.

"No problem. I know Kudo-kun is a famous high school detective, and I had precisely that in mind. Today is a holiday, so we won't talk about school matters. How about we discuss criminal psychology and some interesting cases?" Yun Feng said, feigning great interest, though inwardly he thought, This is perfect for me. How else can I disrupt your date with Ran without using this as an excuse?

As expected, Shinichi Kudo's eyes lit up, and he immediately began consulting Yun Feng on criminal psychology. Yun Feng, before transmigrating, loved reading various mystery novels online and had read many classic detective masterpieces from later generations. Thus, armed with this knowledge, he managed to completely baffle Shinichi Kudo. This was thanks to Yun Feng's dual titles of "authority" and "expert." An "authority" meant that in his field, everything he said was correct. Even if he was wrong, others couldn't question it, because he was the authority.

Ran looked at Shinichi, who was conversing eloquently with Yun Feng, and felt a slight pang of disappointment. Today was supposed to be her date with him. As she thought this, Xiaoyu, who was beside her, walked over and said to Ran, "Little Sister Ran, they have their own topics to discuss. I'm very interested in your karate. I wonder if Little Sister could teach me about it?"

Ran paused, then said happily, "I didn't expect Big Sister Xiaoyu to like these things too. Feel free to ask any questions! I'm a karate black belt, you know." Yun Feng secretly gave Xiaoyu a thumbs-up, thinking that Xiaoyu was truly a wingman's wingman; her assistance couldn't be any better. He knew that Xiaoyu's combat proficiency included all fields, so karate was mere child's play to her. She was only saying this to help him.

"Oh, it looks like there are empty seats on the roller coaster ahead! Shinichi, Big Brother Yun, why don't we go play there?" Ran's eyes lit up when she saw the roller coaster in front, and she suggested.

"Mm, whatever," Shinichi Kudo, who was listening to Yun Feng recount a very interesting mystery, casually replied. Yun Feng, however, smiled happily at Ran, saying, "Ran-san and I are thinking alike! I want to go play there too!"

As he spoke, he noticed three elementary school-aged children preparing to squeeze into a small hole beside the roller coaster entrance. Shinichi Kudo also noticed this and curled his lip, saying, "Kids these days are really something. They're definitely trying to sneak in without paying." No sooner had he spoken than he was surprised to see Yun Feng walking towards those elementary schoolers. Thinking he was going to reprimand the children, he immediately gloated, "Hehe, those little guys are in for it now." Ran also noticed the situation and, hearing Shinichi's words, hesitated, wondering whether to advise Big Brother Yun. Although sneaking in was wrong, they were just children after all.

However, they were both wrong. Yun Feng walked up to the three children and said gently, "What are you doing?" The three elementary school-aged children were: a cute girl with a pink and white hair clip, wearing a Teitan Academy elementary school uniform, with a pair of beautiful large eyes; a thin boy in blue clothes with freckles; and a tall, chubby boy with a pointed head wearing green clothes. The cute little girl, hearing Yun Feng speak, quickly waved her small hands and said, "We weren't trying to sneak in without paying, really!" The two boys, one thin and one chubby, immediately sighed, "We're doomed now."

Yun Feng smiled and crouched down, gently ruffling the cute little girl's head, saying, "Seeing you in a Teitan Academy uniform, you must be a student there, right? I am Professor Yun Feng of the Huayu Department at Teitan Academy."

"Ah, you're Professor Yun Feng! I know, I know! Everyone at school is talking about you! I heard your lectures are fun and interesting, is that true? Could you come and lecture in our class sometime? Please!" Ayumi Yoshida excitedly said. The two boys beside them, Genta and Mitsuhiko, looked distressed, almost in tears. Being caught trying to sneak in by the famous Professor Yun Feng, this time even gods couldn't save them. Ayumi had even blurted out their class and names!

Who knew Yun Feng would actually nod and agree, "Alright, I will make time to teach Huayu in your class. But today, you can't go in and play here. Roller coasters aren't for children. This is an amusement card I got when I came in earlier. There's enough money in it for you to play for a long time. But you must promise me not to play dangerous games, okay?"

Ayumi took Yun Feng's amusement card and said excitedly, "Hooray! I knew Professor Yun Feng, as everyone said, would be a kind and amiable big brother!" With that, Ayumi demonstratively waved the amusement card in her hand at Genta and Mitsuhiko behind her, then held out her little finger to Yun Feng and said, "Professor Brother, let's pinky promise! I promise not to play dangerous games, and you also have to come and lecture us in Huayu!"

"Mm, it's a deal," Yun Feng smiled, interlocking his pinky with Ayumi's. He then greeted Genta and Mitsuhiko behind them and turned to leave. These three little ones were frequently appearing plot characters, members of the Detective Boys. Making connections with them certainly couldn't hurt...
