Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 114 Gin's Gossip Moment

"The organization has a mission for you." Gin went straight to the point.

"No problem, sir, just give me your instructions." Yingsheng answered very straightforwardly.

"An outside member has reported criminal evidence of the chairman of Oshima Trading Company. You go and hand it over to him. It will cost 100 million yen. I will send you the specific details via Vodka's email later."

"OK, anything else?"

"Did you participate in the Mud Society incident in Kabukicho tonight?"

"Sir, you are really well-informed. Xiaolan and I went there to do justice. We left after saving someone. I am very sorry, because you are so stupid. That auction was full of loopholes. Even if I didn't take action, other accidents would definitely happen, and there would be no way to generate income for the organization."

Gin was silent for a few breaths: "I heard that the woman being auctioned is very beautiful?"

"hiss--"

Yingsheng took a breath and said, "Sir, you are interested in this aspect? I have to point out that she is underage."

[Killing Intent +1]

Gin's voice was cold: "I'm just curious."

"???"

No, didn't you ask this question first? It's totally against his character. What's wrong with him being shocked? Why did he have murderous intent?
Yingsheng curled his lips, this guy is really a lunatic.

"Her name is Xuesong Qingzi. Yes, she is very beautiful, just like a snow fairy. If you are interested in her, it shouldn't be difficult to get her. Her lousy mother is one way. She herself seems to be engaged in compensated dating. It's just a matter of bribery."

"Do you know her well?" Gin asked again.

"She used to be my neighbor. When the high school detective from our class came to investigate her, I went to watch the fun. Later, Kudo also told me about her. Yesterday, I also learned that her mother was set up by someone to cheat her out of money and then sell her daughter. So I know a little bit about it.

She transferred to our class on Monday. It should be Kudo who arranged it. He has always suspected that there is something wrong with Xuesong Kiyoko and has been following her like a follower for the past two days.

I really don't know what's the use of this. He can't follow people when they sleep at night. If I didn't know he was not that kind of person, I would suspect that he was just coveting other people's beauty.

That's it, I don't know more.

Kudo is very smart. Sir, if you want to tie up Xuesong Kiyoko... forget it, you will definitely kill her. Let's observe three seconds of silence for Kudo. "

After Hotaru finished speaking, Gin fell silent again.

Not only was he silent, he also tilted his head to look at another phone.

Although he couldn't see the scene on the other side through electromagnetic waves, he clearly saw an image of a woman gritting her teeth.

With a playful smile on his lips, Gin asked again: "You didn't do anything to her?"

"..."

Yingsheng was helpless. It seemed that his previous cold-blooded judgment of this man was wrong. He was actually a gossipy man.

"What I crave is love, not beauty. Good looks are a plus, but it doesn't matter if I don't have them. I can't say I know Xuesong Qingzi 100%, but since she engages in compensated dating for money, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get true love from her, so I certainly won't waste my time."

"Heh, isn't it strange for you to say something like that?"

"...Yes, I am a hypocrite. Sir, is there anything else I can help you with? I am going to take a shower."

"..."

What kind of perfunctory excuse is this!

Gin slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette: "Don't forget the mission, complete it as soon as possible."

"No problem. Let me confirm with Sir if my understanding is correct so that we can better implement it. One hundred million yuan is not important. It is just a threshold to gradually control him and make him work for the organization, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, about Xuesong Qingzi's matter..." Gin interrupted immediately: "Vodka asked about that matter. He is an otaku and likes girls the most."

"what???"

Yingsheng was stunned again. Vodka, a Slavic man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually had such a hobby?

"Does he have a favorite girl idol?" Yingsheng asked curiously.

"Let me ask you something, Vodka, come here."

Gin tilted his head and shouted, and Vodka looked aggrieved. Wasn't this call from Vermouth's request? How did it get to him?
But facing his eldest brother's question, he could only mutter quietly: "Kusano Kaoru."

"Louder, haven't you eaten yet?"

"Earth Lady! Kaoru Kusano!!!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three people who heard his shocking voice were silent. Okay, okay, you guy... Tsk, I really didn't expect it.

Yingsheng couldn't help but sighed: "Being able to shout this in front of Big Brother shows how sincere Mr. Vodka is. Mr. Vodka, don't worry, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely introduce you two to each other."

"Hey! Don't do that!"

Vodka shouted in horror: "You dangerous guy, stay away from her!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Yingsheng was speechless: "See you later, sir."

After he finished speaking, there was a busy tone on the phone. Gin glanced at Vodka who was grinning at him with disdain, picked up another phone on the table, and sneered:
"Vermouth, your plan has failed at the first step."

In the brand new large flat that Xue Songqingzi had not lived in for a day, Vermouth sighed softly and used Xue Songqingzi's voice, with a tone as gentle as hers:
"I am a little surprised that the man could be so ruthless. You know, Mr. Gin, he told Mao Lilan that he left only after confirming that I was safe, but in fact, if Kudo-kun had not arrived in time, something terrible would have happened."

Gin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could it be that he discovered something and is testing you?"

"I thought so too, so I endured until the last moment, but he never showed up from beginning to end. Either he had already left as he said, or he was just watching indifferently from the side. Which one do you think is worse, Mr. Gin?"

"If it doesn't work, why are you still pretending to be Xue Song Qingzi?"

"I always have to have a public identity, and Xuesong Qingzi's family situation is just right. As for the task of controlling Mizuki Hotaru, isn't he very cooperative now? He will confirm the tasks you assign to him again, just like an employee in a large company."

"That's different. He has a secret."

"What is Shirley's conclusion from the experiment?"

"My guess."

"Oh—I see."

Vermouth smiled slightly, "I will do my best to satisfy Mr. Gin. I think that as long as I repent of my previous behavior and truly show my sincerity to others, Shuiyue Hotaru will probably contact me."

Gin's eyelids twitched. What did that drawn-out tone of your voice just now mean?
He took a deep breath and said, "Where's Calvados? You've been busy with a lot of missions lately, so I can't have him around you all the time."

"That's what I was going to tell you."

Vermouth's tone immediately became serious: "I can't contact him."
