Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 130 Today’s loser: Gin and Ran!

"You really act unexpectedly, Mr. Liuying."

Gin shook off the ash from his cigarette and walked towards Yingsheng: "But do you think you can't do that?"

"I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. I think Miss Shirley should be able to persuade her sister." Yingsheng drove out the door. The old black Porsche 356A reflected colorful light in the night:

"Are you here to pick her up? Where's Miss Mingmei?"

"Vodka sent her home."

Gin glanced at Xiaolan, who looked a little nervous, and retracted his gaze: "You should know that there is something wrong with Xuesong Qingzi."

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can you be more specific?"

"It's what the detective kid is investigating. I don't know if the mastermind is true or not, but since there are risks, for Shirley's safety, I hope they can keep a certain distance from each other."

Because of the incident involving Miyano Elena and her husband, Vermouth has a deep hatred for the Miyano name. No one can guarantee that she can always remain rational, put the overall interests of the organization first, and not kill Shirley.

After Gin received a call from Vermouth in the afternoon, he finished his work and turned around to inform Shirley to stay away from the crime scene.

He couldn't tell Shirley directly about Vermouth's current identity, so he had to be more tactful.

As luck would have it, they bumped into each other again at night.

After learning that there was a Mizuki Hotaru nearby who served as a half-link, Gin simply rushed over by himself.

Drunk Shirley...

Haha, quite interesting.

"I understand." Yingsheng nodded, feeling quite disappointed. Was it just that matter? However, "Why do you know about this?" he asked curiously.

"Shirley ran into you guys in the supermarket last time, and out of curiosity, she collected some public information." Gin looked up, his sight blocked by the ceiling, but he seemed to see two figures, and he made a sound of inexplicable click of the tongue:
"Shirley rarely asks about anything other than research and her sister. What do you think she was curious about last time?"

"Probably Kudo. We met him by chance in Shibuya on Saturday." Hotaru said casually.

He looked Gin up and down and said with some amusement: "I thought you would be more cold-blooded, but it turns out you like gossip."

"........."

Gin glanced at him coldly and said, "Tsk," he wouldn't bother with a psychopath.

And speaking of gossip...

Gin asked with interest: "Are Xuesong Kiyoko and Kudo Shinichi very close?"

"puff--"

Yingsheng couldn't hold it back for a moment, [Murderous Intent +1], but after seeing the hint in his heart and the cold eyes from the opposite party, he quickly covered his mouth, "Ahem," and tried to restrain himself.

"Sir, how do you know this?"

“Newspaper, coffee shop.”

Gin took out today's evening paper from the newspaper rack next to the elevator and showed the front page headlines to Yingsheng.

The most important thing is a photo:
At the end of the spacious corridor were spider-web-like broken glass and a fallen criminal. On both sides were onlookers, police and passers-by. In the center, there were two people smiling at each other.

Kudo Shinichi's smile is flamboyant and sunny;
Vermouth's smile is peaceful and elegant.

The wind blew, and the girl's hair and skirt fluttered gently.

Click!

I don't know which expert pressed the shutter in time, capturing this scene on film, which was then developed, submitted, and printed in batches. This was seen by Yingsheng, who couldn't help but smile:
"They look so well-matched."

He turned around and handed the newspaper to Xiaolan: "If you want to cry, go outside and call me when you're done."

"..."

Xiaolan stared coldly!
"..."

Gin suddenly understood vaguely that this guy Mizuki Hotoshi was not after an ordinary ignorant girl, but someone who already had someone in his heart!
Tsk, what a bad taste.

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Based on her performance at the wine table, Xuesong-san really cares about Kudou. That kind of genuine concern is definitely not fake. Even when she sees Kudou making childish movements, there is a look of helpless doting in her eyes."

Gin's eyes became more and more strange: "You mean... the doting that a mother gives to her child?"

"Cough cough cough cough!!!" Yingsheng almost choked himself to death, looking at Gin with a shocked face: "Why do you think so?"

Gin clicked his tongue, "Because of your description."

“It’s not like that.”

Yingsheng shook his head: "You have to know that physiological science dictates that women mature earlier than men. In relationships at this age, it is common for women to feel that men are childish.

For someone like Xuesong, who not only did not show any disgust, but instead looked at Kudo lovingly and thought he was very cute, I think this is probably true love without a doubt."

"..."

"..."

For some reason, Gin and Xiaolan looked at each other and a strange feeling emerged in their hearts.

like……

I lost.

But Gin immediately came back to his senses. How could Vermouth fall in love with a high school student?

What a joke!
By the way, didn’t she say last time that she guessed that as long as she showed that she could be sincere to others, Mizutsuki Hotoshii might take the initiative to approach her?

That's it!

This is all for Vermouth’s mission!

Haha, she is worthy of being called the Witch of a Thousand Faces. Her acting skills are so superb that she even fooled an old hand among flowers like Liuying.

Thinking of this, Gin pressed down the brim of his hat and turned away:
"Don't forget that."

"I told you it's not necessary."

Yingsheng was helpless. After Gin's back disappeared behind the car door, he looked at the curious Xiaolan and explained:
"He wants me to hang Miss Mingmei and tell her to stop dreaming of taking Miss Shiho away. Don't you think that's outrageous?"

"........."

Xiaolan nodded silently, it was indeed outrageous.

However, when she first met Mr. Kurosawa, combined with the warning Hotaru gave her last Saturday night, she thought he would be a scary person who was difficult to get along with, but now it seems...

Well, it's quite normal after all.

After all, people who like gossip are not bad people.

Just like the garden.

Huh?
Thinking of this, Xiaolan quickly took out her cell phone. Sonoko had called her before, but they were at the dinner table, so she answered the phone, apologized, said a few words and hung up. Now that she was free, of course she had to call back.

As soon as the other side connected...

"Ran, that Kudo Shinichi guy is also a scumbag!"

"..."

"..."

The noise was so loud that Yingsheng overheard it. He curled his lips and silently said to Xiaolan with his mouth: "I'll go outside to get a taxi." Then he turned and walked out.

Xiaolan nodded, covered the microphone with her hand, and spoke to Yuanzi in a low voice, mumbling to herself.

The word "also", hmm...

The garden is used in a wonderful way.

"What?!!!"

And when Suzuki Sonoko heard Xiaolan's story about how she and Hotaru went out for dinner after shopping, and ran into the super close Kudo Shinichi and Xuesong Kiyoko, and finally drank together,

She was completely torn apart!
This, this, this, this...

What is going on?

"and after?!"
