Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 118: Kiyoko's Impure World Reincarnation
When her sight was just halfway turned, it was suddenly blocked by a figure. Xiaolan felt a little guilty for some reason, so she quickly took out the lunch box under the desk, stood up and took the arm of the person who came:

"Let's go, Yuanzi, let's go eat together."

Yuanzi looked helpless and looked in the direction where Xiaolan had just been looking. Seeing someone still sleeping soundly on the desk, she couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Kenta Nakamichi, who was sitting in the row behind Hotaru, saw this and quickly reached out his hand. But before he could touch Hotaru's back, he saw Xiaolan coaxing Sonoko out of the classroom.

"..."

Kenta Nakamichi withdrew his hand and scratched his head. It was indeed a very strange scene.

"Zhongdao, how was the lottery yesterday?" Yingsheng turned around.

"Ah? Are you awake?" Kenta Nakamichi was stunned.

"The classroom is too noisy, and my sleep quality is not good." Yingsheng yawned and pulled out two earplugs from his ear holes. "This one works just fine. I wanted to wear a head-mounted one, but it feels too loud and has a bad effect."

"...You are being extremely arrogant now."

"Why? The teacher picked me to answer a question, and I got all the answers right."

"That's why he's even more arrogant." Nakamichi Kenta covered his face helplessly, "The teacher will definitely think that you smart guys don't take him seriously at all, you, Xiaolan, Kudo and Xuesong, all of them!"

"Xuesong was asked a question in English class. His pronunciation was more standard than the teacher's. After that, the class turned into a quiet self-study class, which allowed me to sleep well for half a day." Yingsheng recalled:
"What was the teacher's expression at the time? Shouldn't he have just found a random excuse to give the disobedient student a good lesson?"

"Mr. Moriguchi is not such a bad person. It is said that he had planned to resign before, but he looked relieved afterwards." Kenta Nakamichi sighed.
"I heard that the school will hire a foreign teacher as the English teacher, but I don't know what kind of person he will be."

But what does this have to do with him?
He is just a poor student.

"Let's talk about the famous detective index." When he mentioned this, Kenta Nakamichi's eyes lit up. He pulled out a notebook and opened the page with the bookmark:
"I got up at six in the morning and counted the data released by various police stations. I also asked my cousin who works at the Metropolitan Police Department for inside information, and asked my brother who works at the Asahi Shimbun for cross-comparison. In the end, I confirmed the number to be nine!"

He pointed to the item on the notebook that said Kabukicho, which had two large branches extending downwards, one was an underground casino, and the other was the Butterfly Love Hotel, and said:

"The first one was an underground casino here. Two of the suspects had tattoos on their bodies and were presumably members of the Mud Gang. The police found that their necks had been broken and they were thrown into the sewer in the alley around the casino."

Yingsheng seemed to be thinking about something. It should be Liu'er Mihou and her companions who did it. It was estimated that the two of them had their clothes stripped off and their identities replaced.

Kenta Nakamichi continued, "Another thing is that inside the casino, Inspector Megure of the Third Division of the Investigation Division shot and killed a criminal in order to save someone. But the details here are a bit vague, and there may be another story. Unfortunately, my cousin couldn't find out."

Hotaru nodded, saying that Officer Megure was a very righteous person.

Not only did he defend Kiyoko Yuzuka, he also took responsibility for Kudo Shinichi's affairs and issued a gag order.

Kenta Nakamichi pointed to the Butterfly Lovers Motel and said, "There was a small-scale Yakuza fight here last night. A member of the Nimrod Society shot and killed three members of the Sumiyoshi Society. Kudo and the police heard the noise and rushed over, but the murderer still escaped."

"……sharp."

"Another case is that a man named Harada Taro was poisoned to death. The police initially identified the murderer as Ishida Mamoru, who is said to be a professional killer." Nakamichi Kenta turned his finger and landed on the words "Ishida House" surrounded by a flame pattern:

"The morning papers said that two assassins died in a gunfight. One of them should be Ishida Mamoru. The other's left forearm was broken by a shotgun and fell in the courtyard, escaping the fire. The police took him back for testing, but their identity has not been confirmed so far."

Kenta Nakamichi didn't care much about the unknown identities of the dead. As long as he knew how many people had died, that was enough.

Moreover, the deceased was unrecognizable, so it was normal that the identity could not be confirmed. It could not be said that the police were incompetent. No one reported the missing person, so they could not find a needle in a haystack. As a listener, Yingsheng certainly understood the police better. The hand was originally prepared for Liu'er Macaque's companions, so they could always confirm the identity of the anonymous person.

However, Yingsheng was still quite curious: "What do the police think is the reason for their fight?"

"It's said that the spoils were not shared evenly, and several hundred million yen were involved." Nakamichi Kenta paused, looked around, moved closer to Yingsheng, and whispered, "My cousin told me that a woman was also involved. He asked me not to tell anyone else. Just keep it to yourself."

Yingsheng raised his hand and pulled it from left to right beside his mouth like a zipper: "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."

After understanding what yesterday was like from the perspective of passers-by, Yingsheng took out his lunch box and started eating.

"It's so rich."

Kenta Nakamichi glanced at his pork chop rice, then looked at Hotaru's seafood platter, with a pitiful look on his face, but it looked a bit mean with his face.

Yingsheng leaned forward and said, "Pick it up for yourself. You are a rich man now, right? There are some pretty good bento boxes in supermarkets, right?"

"No thanks, this is what Xiaolan prepared for you, and I am now in the period of striving for my career, I must not be corrupted!"

"…It has a future, but how did you tell that?"

"The lunch box is the same as yesterday."

"..."

Yingsheng shifted his gaze slightly, and the sky blue lunch box seemed to be the same as yesterday.

hiss--

Great!
Nakamichi Kenta chuckled, "Don't worry, it's almost the same over there." He leaned on Hotaru's shoulder and pointed to the center of the classroom in the front right, "Look, Xuesong-san also handed Kudo a lunch box. What a coincidence, the lunch box is the same color as yours."

"........."

Yingsheng shrugged and shook his hand off: "You gossip all day, don't you? Go sell your lottery tickets. I'll buy ten. Today, no one will get hurt."

"Okay, but Shuiyue, you are really wronging me. This is the first time I say this. I can't help it. Everyone is talking about you. It's hard for me not to listen."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter. Let me ask you, who do you think has the lowest sense of presence in our class?"

"Eh? This matter? Um...

It should be Aoyagi-san. She seemed to want to join the discussion among the girls, but after Xiaolan and Suzuki-san, who used to invite her along, became the protagonists of the incident and left, the others ignored her."

Yingsheng's eyes moved slightly: "Besides this matter?"

"It's about the same as usual."

Kenta Nakamichi said casually, "Because she always pretends to study very hard, but her grades are only slightly better than mine. She was ranked third from the bottom in the last exam, so everyone thinks she is pretentious and is not very willing to interact with her."

"That's it..."
