Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 103 Kudo Shinichi kills people! Saves the beauty!

boom!
Bang bang bang bang! ! !

boom!
Before he completely lost consciousness, Kudo Shinichi used his last bit of clarity to pull the trigger at the man laughing wildly through the crack in the door.

He had no idea whether the bullet had hit his target.

Even after he woke up a few minutes later, he had no idea how many shots he had fired.

He felt that in that state, he could probably only pull the trigger four or five times at most, but Megure Jusan, who pinched his nose to wake him up, told him that he had simply emptied the bullets in the revolver. Could it be that he surpassed himself in extreme anger?

As for the hit rate...

A few seconds later, looking at the body of the man with a wild laugh frozen on his face, Kudo Shinichi was dazed, his heart filled with a sense of unreality.

He, killed someone?

Trembling all over, Xuesong Qingzi described the previous scene to the police:
Kudo Shinichi's first five shots all missed, but the last bullet hit the man's back of the head accurately. His expression froze instantly, his body was stiff for half a second, and then he fell on Yuzumatsu Kiyoko. Yuzumatsu Kiyoko was powerless at the time, but she still desperately pushed the man's body off and ran to the door to see Kudo Shinichi. After a few breaths, the police who heard the noise arrived.

Xuesong Qingzi spoke in a crying voice, her tone full of fear.

But when she talked about Kudo Shinichi, her eyes lit up with gratitude, and her tearful eyes were filled with his image.

Kudo Shinichi turned his head away.

Perhaps because he had been unconscious for a moment, he still felt a little dazed about the current situation, but after taking a few deep breaths, he finally recovered. Moreover, since his actions actually saved a person, this also comforted him to some extent.

After all, the man lying on the ground had his lower body covered by the clothes he had taken off earlier.

If the last shot hadn't hit, that kind of thing might have happened in the next second.

"Xuesong, did you see the person who knocked me out?" asked Kudo Shinichi.

Xuesong Qingzi shook her head slightly: "The angle over there was not right. When I passed the door, there was no one else there."

"So do you have a target you suspect?"

"I'm sorry, I...I don't know anything."

Kiyoko Yuzumatsu huddled in the corner of the sofa, lowering her head guiltily. She was wearing Megure Jusan's brown coat. Looking at her distraught appearance and thinking of what she had almost encountered just now, Megure Jusan looked at Kudo Shinichi with an expression of pity, hoping that his younger brother would show mercy.

Kudo Shinichi sighed in his heart, but the case was urgent, so he still asked: "Where is your mother... no, Xuesong Nami, do you know?"

Xue Songqingzi shook her head: "I haven't seen her since I was kidnapped here."

"So what do you know about the death of Xuesong Masato? We have listened to the call recording in your phone, and you seem to think that Xuesong Nami is the real murderer."

Facing Kudo Shinichi's questioning, Xuesong Qingzi was silent for a long time before speaking:
"The mastermind you are looking for may indeed be related to me, but up to now, his real partner is probably my mother."

Her tone was quite sad, and a bit self-deprecating:
"After I got a little older, my parents never gave me any money. All my tuition and living expenses were raised by myself through compensated dating.

Believe it or not, the people I dated were really just in the truest sense of the word, and nothing of the sort ever happened.

Emotional value, that's more what I offer.

but……

Apparently, someone was not satisfied with this. Ishida Mamoru, this man once told me that he could help me solve my family's troubles, but the condition was that he really got me. I didn't understand what he meant, so I refused. A day later, he gave me some money and asked me to buy life accident insurance for my father.

I had a vague guess in my mind, so I listened to him and bought it. Ten days later, my father died.

I thought he was helping me and that I could be free, but what happened next...

You all know it.”

Xue Songqingzi's words made everyone fall into silence. What should have been the closest blood relationship ended up being a fight between the two...

Oh, what a hellish house.

Kudo Shinichi thought for a moment: "You mean, the reason why Ishida Mamoru took a series of actions was because of his perverted possessiveness of you, hoping to destroy your family, your social life, and your world in order to achieve the goal of completely controlling you?"

Xue Songqingzi's voice trembled slightly: "I don't know."

This motive is quite consistent with one of Kudo Shinichi's previous guesses, but there are still some doubts. He asked:

"When you got rid of the police on Sunday, did you surrender to them and ask for help?"

"No, I didn't know that everything was planned by him at the time. I just thought he underestimated you. I was with Mr. Nakatani that morning, and he can testify for me. I went home in the afternoon and was taken to the Metropolitan Police Department by you."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Megure Jusan, who quickly walked aside to call Nakatani Fumizumi to confirm. After a moment, he returned and nodded to Kudo Shinichi:

"He said he could testify fully and that he had the receipts."

But the credibility of the testimony of a person who loves Yuzuki Kiyoko is very questionable. Kudo Shinichi looked at Yuzuki Kiyoko, still frowning:
"You don't admit that you framed Xue Song Nami?"

"what?"

Xue Songqingzi looked up, her red eyes full of confusion: "Frame my mother, what does this mean?"

Kudo Shinichi frowned even more, but just shook his head: "Nothing."

Things were so confusing that even he couldn't tell who was the one hiding the most. And if we follow the line of thought that Xuesong Qingzi was talking about now, everything makes sense.

The frame-up of Yuzuki Nami was directed and acted by Mamoru Ishida himself. He did it just to control Yuzuki Nami and then get Yuzuki Kiyoko through her.

After the frame-up was exposed, he redesigned the gambling incident to lure Nami Yukimatsu into the game, but his ultimate target was still Kiyoko Yukimatsu.

But there are several problems with this.

Kudo Shinichi asked: "If Ishida Mamoru just wanted to get you, why did he wait until now? Why did you go to the auction? What about the accident here?"

Xue Songqingzi was silent for a few breaths, and then spoke in a complicated tone:
"He said he would buy me out in public, he would completely destroy my personality, make me kneel down and beg him, and end it all."

"!!!!!!"

Beast!
Animals!

Everyone at the scene was furious when they heard this. Megure Jusan even felt a little dizzy. He guessed that his blood pressure continued to rise, so he took a deep breath, a deep breath...

That damn bastard!!!
Xue Songqingzi's eyes dimmed, and she continued: "As for the accident here..."
