Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 117 Vermouth's Paradise

"That's not possible. I will try to persuade my sister." Shirley replied calmly.

"That would be the best. In the organization, being too naive has only one outcome." Gin said calmly.

death.

What else can there be besides this.

After hanging up the phone, Gin was in a good mood and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. However, before he put down the glass, the ringtone rang again. He looked and it was Mizuki Hotosuke.

"Good morning, sir. I have a mission to hand in. It's 100 million yen. How do I hand it in?"

Gin raised his eyebrows, took out his phone and checked the date to make sure he didn't sleep an extra day and night.

The tasks assigned in the early morning are submitted in the morning. Will the new employees be so motivated?
"I remember the information said that he didn't have that much liquid capital. How did you do it?"

"I found someone to buy some of his company's shares, and the price is quite affordable. Sir, if you want to destroy this trading company in one go, can you tell me in advance so that I can let her cash out and leave, and then give you a share."

"........."

Good boy, so you can kill two birds with one stone, right?
Gin couldn't help but start to taunt: "As expected of a firefly among flowers, you are the best at borrowing the power of women."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sir, you are actually very good in terms of appearance, figure, temperament..."

[Killing Intent +1]

huh?

Yingsheng, who had just left the house, paused, feeling that this murderous intent was simply inexplicable. He shook his head and was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Gin's cold voice:
"Put the money in a locker at the mall. Send me the address and number plate later and I'll arrange for someone to pick it up."

beep beep-

The phone hangs up.

Yingsheng had no choice but to put away his phone, holding a metal suitcase in his right hand, and pressed the elevator button.

While waiting, a middle-aged man in a cheap suit ran out from 2601, where Xuesong Qingzi used to live. When he saw Yingsheng, he bowed without saying a word:
"I'm so sorry! I'm Yoshida from Tomoda Housing Co., Ltd. I'd like to ask you about your requirements for your neighbors!"

"It's all right." Yingsheng said indifferently.

"Thank you very much! Do you accept pets? Are there any size requirements?"

"My answer to all your questions is OK. It doesn't matter even if a great tengu moves in." Yingsheng asked curiously, "By the way, do we still need to consider the neighbors in this matter? Even if they don't get along, whoever drives away will be the one to take care of it, right?"

"Forehead……"

Yoshida said awkwardly: "Because this is a high-end apartment, the owner has strict requirements."

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around the corridor. It could be considered clean and tidy, and the lighting was okay, but compared to what he saw...

“Is this considered advanced?”

"........."

Yoshida's heart was filled with tears, and he suddenly felt the disparity of the world.

"Well, there are many celebrities and politicians living here..."

"for example?"

Yoshida hesitated for a moment and whispered, "When I came here this morning, I saw Miss Okino Yoko coming downstairs."

"Oh, who is she?"

"..."

A minute later, Yingsheng took the elevator downstairs, thinking about something.

Yoko Okino was a member of the Earth Ladies Team before they disbanded, and so was Kaoru Kusano. So it is entirely possible to introduce Kaoru Kusano to Vodka through her.

Well, that’s great. I’ll keep an eye out for it next time. Who knows, I might run into it someday.

After finding the nearest mall to put the money, Yingsheng bought two sandwiches for breakfast and ate them while walking. When he passed a corner,
"Hah!!!"

A blue figure suddenly flashed before his eyes. Yingsheng didn't even raise his eyelids, but took a step back cooperatively.

"Ah... I was scared." "Humph, Shuiyue-kun is late today, ten minutes later than yesterday." The one who was scared was of course Xiaolan. She handed over a lunch box and said, "I'll give it to you in advance. I'm going to have lunch with Sonoko at noon."

"Thank you. Did you sleep well last night?"

Yingsheng took the lunch box and went to school with Xiaolan.

"That's it, but this morning's newspaper doesn't seem to be worth looking forward to." Xiaolan sighed: "Although Xuesong and her mother were not in the newspaper at all, two people died in the fire."

"The newspaper said it was a fight between assassins, right? It doesn't matter who they are. Is there any follow-up from Mr. Maori?"

"Not yet. I guess he won't tell me if he does."

"Then let's wait for the psychiatrist to investigate. It shouldn't be a big deal..."

Yingsheng paused for a moment, and saw Kudo Shinichi and Liuer Macaque walking side by side on the other side of the road...

Forget it, just call her Xuesong Qingzi.

Kudo Shinichi also saw this at the same time, and his steps slowed down slightly. Yingsheng nodded at him, turned back and whispered to Xiaolan:
"From Kudo's perspective, we know nothing about what happened last night, including Mr. Maori's side."

Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion: "Won't she tell Dad about the psychiatrist?"

"Mr. Maori would only explode with shame if his daughter knew about this. You also know that he has a strong self-esteem, which is not conducive to treatment."

"That's right... Humph, he was like that last time. As soon as we met, he told me not to tell mom."

"So, regarding Xuesong-san..."

"I know. She will use other excuses. Besides..." Xiaolan said in a gloomy tone, looking straight ahead, "I think what Shuiyue-kun said last night was right. She doesn't actually need my concern."

Hotaru looked back in confusion and saw Kudo Shinichi whispering something in Xuesong Kiyoko's ear.

And Xuesong Kiyoko was looking at Xiaolan with a smile.

Looking at Xiaolan?!
Yingsheng's eyelids jumped and he turned his head to look at Xiaolan, ready to take action to stop the bloody scene at any time.

Xiaolan snorted, "Suiyue-kun thinks too much. I'm not that petty. Xuesong-san is very insecure right now, so Shinichi will give it to her first."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"..."

Yingsheng was speechless. How can you call this not caring?
He followed and said, "I guess what Kudo is saying is similar to what I am saying. Because I know you are kind and I am worried about causing you trouble, I would like to remind Xuesong-san that if you have any questions, just go to him instead of you."

"Oh, you know it again."

"If you don't believe me, try it later."

“Definitely try it!”

Unfortunately, although what she said was true, until the end of get out of class at noon, Xiaolan had not found a legitimate reason to help Xuesong Kiyoko, which made her very distressed.

To be honest, there are not many things on campus that require help from others.

Even if there are occasional small things, she has a guardian spirit like Kudo Shinichi to help her complete them.

Every time Xiaolan saw this scene, she became more distressed.

The most important thing is that Xuesong Qingzi would secretly glance at her from time to time, her eyes full of pure friendliness.

This……

Xiaolan didn't know what to say.

So it is. Xuesong is very pitiful. She has no one to rely on now.

And myself...

Thinking of this, Xiaolan subconsciously turned back slightly...

"Xiaolan!"
