Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 120 Sister Bei teaches innocent Xiao Xinyi
"I'm sorry, I just... there are some things I can't figure out."

Seeing Vermouth looking so timid, Kudo Shinichi sighed inwardly.

In fact, after having had the experience of being almost molested by Vermouth, his suspicion of "Yuzuki Kiyoko" has been greatly reduced.

Because that would be too great a sacrifice.

Even he himself was not sure whether he could arrive in time and stop the criminal's evil deeds.

Regardless of whether the mastermind behind the scenes is the already dead Ishida Mamoru, he must attach great importance to Yuzuki Kiyoko. No matter how well he plans, as long as he cannot predict the future, he will not gamble on such a possibility.

"Can you tell me? Maybe I can help." Vermouth said softly.

"First of all, who filmed the video of Ms. Xuesong being tortured? Why wasn't that video destroyed? Instead, it was thrown into the trash can of an underground casino?" Kudo Shinichi tapped the table with his index finger:

“That doesn’t make any sense.”

"Um……"

Vermouth said: "Could it be that you, Kudo-kun, thought the mastermind behind the scenes was too perfect? ​​Since he would take action because he wanted something, he is definitely not a heartless robot. It is possible that he would make mistakes."

"Do you think that video was shot by Ishida Mamoru? What was his purpose? Was he just being arrogant or did he want to show it to you? How would you feel after watching that video?"

Kudo Shinichi asked a series of questions directly.

Vermouth pursed her lips lightly: "Kudou-kun knows how I feel."

"Ugh……"

Kudo Shinichi sighed: "Yes, you will be happy, so this is also part of Ishida Mamoru's plan? To win your heart?" The unbearable darkness made him shake his head: "There is another most crucial point, who is the person who died with Ishida Mamoru."

It's the organization's code name for waste, Calvados.

This thought flashed through Vermouth's mind, and she shook her head slightly: "I have examined him very carefully. I am very sorry, but I really have no impression of him at all."

"Of course you have no impression of it being burned to that extent."

When he thought of that person, Kudo Shinichi felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and put down his coffee.

"What about the girl he defiled?" he asked.

“I’m sorry, I have no idea at all.” Vermouth’s eyes were filled with pity. “Does her death… have anything to do with me?”

There may be.

Kudo Shinichi thought: Maybe some guy who didn't get you was so angry that he extended his evil hand to an innocent passerby, and she was purely mistreated.

But of course he would not say such unfounded words. He just loosened his collar feeling a little uncomfortable and looked at Vermouth seriously:

"I now think that there is a high probability that you are innocent, but I will not let my guard down. I will keep an eye on you."

"Is it like this now?"

Vermouth smiled softly: "I'm happy to do that."

"........."

Kudo Shinichi was speechless, and then suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and showed vigilance in his eyes: "You don't want to make me your slave like you did to those men, do you?"

"How is it possible, I..."

"I don't believe a word you say." Kudo Shinichi interrupted and stood up, "And I must admit that it's useless for me to follow you like this. From now on, you should be alone. I'm leaving."

"do not want!"

Vermouth quickly stood up and grabbed Kudo Shinichi's wrist, with pleading eyes: "Don't you suspect that Ishida Mamoru is not the real mastermind, and there is another Moriarty hiding in the dark? What if I encounter danger again?"

She finally had a legitimate reason to be intimate with Cool Guy, so she was unwilling to give it up.

It's a pity that Cool Guy forbids Angel from contacting him, otherwise it would be as wonderful as heaven. And Angel is so close to that bastard Mizuki Hotaru, I'm really worried that she will be in danger.

Kudo Shinichi pushed her hand away and said with a curled lip, "If you're talking about encountering danger, it should be other men who should be more worried. You are very good at using your beauty as a weapon. According to Mr. Nakatani's description, there are quite a few men who have been bewitched by you."

“But didn’t you guys find out? I broke up with them all, and I paid them double the breakup fee.” Vermouth said pitifully, “Not only did I pay emotional value, I also paid money. No matter how you look at it, they made more money.”

"What about Gaoyuan Yi?" Kudo Shinichi asked suddenly.

"Who?"

Vermouth showed genuine doubt, she really had no impression of this name.

Kudo Shinichi stared into her eyes, watching the doubtful look gradually turn into shame, but he finally gave in and looked away:

"Then you should at least admit what you did to Mr. Nakatani. It's too much to let a man who loves you drive you to meet other men."

"Um……"

Vermouth pondered, why does it feel like she and Calvados are twins?

Then the answer is obvious.

"He did it voluntarily."

"..."

Kudo Shinichi was furious and could no longer tolerate this scumbag girl. He turned around and left. Vermouth quickly followed:
"That's how it is. Did I promise him anything?"

"Two of you, a total of ..."

"keep the change."

The clerk just came over without knowing the situation, and Vermouth pressed a picture of Fukuzawa Yukichi on him. Kudo Shinichi paused for a moment and then accelerated his pace to pay the bill:
"You have absolutely no intention of reforming yourself. Your view on money is completely ruined."

"Then take me to reshape it, slowly."

"Huh, why would I do this..."

“Ouch! That hurts…”

There was a soft cry from behind him, and Kudo Shinichi stopped in his tracks. Did he sprain his ankle? He turned around and looked...

Just when I turned halfway, my left hand was hugged.

"Hehe, now you can't run away."

"…………"

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and tried to pull his hand out, but failed. He tried to pull it out forcefully, but Vermouth blushed and hugged him even tighter:
"That's not possible..."

"!!!"

Kudo Shinichi's whole body stiffened, and only later did he realize that the back of his hand seemed to touch something soft.

Once he realized this, his face turned visibly red.

Vermouth smiled secretly in her heart, Cool Guy is really cute.

She loosened her arms slightly, and instead used her right hand to hold Kudo Shinichi, and whispered softly in his ear: "Let's go, Kudo-kun, let's go shopping, and we must reshape my values."

Kudo Shinichi gradually came back to his senses and gritted his teeth: "You guy, don't try to seduce me!"

"Hey~~ No way. Come to think of it, I know a Sherlock Holmes club."

"Huh?! Holmes?!"
