Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 137: The beaten Kudo Shinichi is lucky in love
Xiaolan asked why, but Yingsheng didn't know the details:
"At noon today, Suzuki took Xuesong away. I guess he wanted to talk about you and Kudo. Kudo came to me, so I ordered this to him and asked him to bring a glass of lemonade, and then..."

Yingsheng paused, glanced at the milk tea shop at the school gate, and looked at Xiaolan:

"Want to drink milk tea?"

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless and walked over there with him: "Same as you, what happened next?"

"Later, my lemonade was still not here, and a classmate ran into the classroom excitedly to tell me the news that Kudo had fought with a blond-haired, dark-skinned waiter over Xuesong, and had now been sent to the hospital.

I thought the golden hair and black skin were very familiar features, so I called Mr. Amuro to ask.

He admitted the incident, but said he would not delay the detective's commission, and then said goodbye to me. "

As Yingsheng was talking, he had already walked into the tea shop;

“It’s this shop.”

He ordered two strawberry milkshakes, then grabbed the strange waiter:

"Excuse me, what happened here at noon?"

"This……"

The young man looked hesitant.

Hotaru stuffed a note from Fukuzawa Yukichi into his breast pocket and patted it.

"Ahem, here's what happened."

The young man immediately became serious and talked about what he saw from his perspective. In short:
Amuro Toru, who just came to the store this morning to work part-time as a waiter, definitely had bad intentions and was probably a scumbag who came for high school girls. He saw that Xuesong Kiyoko was beautiful and approached her to chat with her when he had some free time. Later, Kudo Shinichi arrived and the two had a conflict in their words and started fighting.

After hearing this, Yingsheng felt quite puzzled:
"Would Kudo be so impulsive?"

"Sorry, I was busy because of that black guy's laziness and didn't see the details." The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "In fact, the other people in the store were the same. They didn't know the reason for their conflict."

"That is to say, there may be another hidden story, right?" Yingsheng thought thoughtfully, "What was the result of the battle between the two?"

"Uh, the high school student was beaten unilaterally by the black guy."

"..."

"..."

After the milk tea was ready, Yingsheng and Xiaolan took a taxi to the Mihua Central Hospital. On the way, Xiaolan's phone kept beeping busy, and she also looked a little uneasy. Seeing her like this, Yingsheng thought:
"How about you put on your headphones?"

"..."

Xiaolan glared at him fiercely, hung up the phone, put away her phone, and sighed:
"I wasn't calling Shinichi, I was calling Sonoko. Didn't she also accompany us to the hospital?"

"Who cares? We're almost there. Are you in such a hurry to take so little time?"

"What if they are transferred to another hospital?"

"Then why don't we just ask and then go? We have plenty of time anyway, and it's not like he will recover if we go too late."

Hotaru spread his hands, "And judging from how much middle-aged women and cats and dogs like Mr. Amuro, he should be a very gentle person, and he should be measured in his actions. Kudo won't be in any serious condition and won't need to be transferred to another hospital."

Xiaolan looked at Yingsheng silently, and Yingsheng looked back at her calmly.

Xiaolan was frustrated:

"I'm sorry, I'm too shallow. It's really amazing that you can stay calm at any time and anywhere, Mizuki-kun."

Yingsheng smiled: "Actually, it has nothing to do with me. I am just a spectator at best."

"…What if…"

"There are no ifs. You are not a child anymore." Yingsheng glanced at her. "If you are really impatient, you can fight with Mr. Amuro later. He easily beat Kudo. He should be...well, maybe he is a martial artist."

"Oh...but maybe what does it mean?"

"It means to remind Kudo to bring a football with him wherever he goes, to avoid a significant reduction in his fighting power. Just imagine how cool it would be if he could reenact the heroic act of saving the damsel in distress in the coffee shop yesterday afternoon at noon today."

"........."

Xiaolan didn't want to talk to this guy anymore. She arrived at Beihua Central Hospital soon, and Yingsheng asked the nurses at the nurses' station about Kudo Shinichi's ward.

Room 413, Building .

"Why is this happening again?" Yingsheng asked curiously, "Hasn't that group of Yakuza been discharged from the hospital yet?"

"Uh..." The nurse said awkwardly, "Not that fast yet."

Yingsheng nodded indifferently, and he and Xiaolan each held a fruit basket as they walked through the courtyard to Building 3:

"This is quite convenient."

"Are you going to visit my father, Suigetsu-kun?"

"No, the other fruit basket is for Xuesong-san or Amuro-san."

"Eh? Aren't they okay?"

"It's okay now, what will happen after you go up?"

"........."

Xiaolan said bitterly: "It's okay!"

The target ward was just around the corner. The door was not closed, but only half-open. Yingsheng knocked on the door:
"excuse me."

The door was slowly opened from the inside, and the girl with the hairband exposed saw the person coming, and her eyes immediately lit up:
"Xiaolan, you're finally here!"

Yingsheng quietly stepped aside, hoping to become invisible, but his power was not enough. Suzuki Sonoko pulled Xiaolan into the house and still looked at her coldly:
"And Suigetsu-san is here too."

Yingsheng smiled: "I came to see you."

"Humph! People..."

Sonoko snorted coldly, and considering that there were other people around, she didn't say anything else. Xiaolan turned around and glanced at Yingsheng with a helpless expression. Yingsheng shrugged indifferently and followed her into the ward.

The blond hair and black skin, which should have been the most eye-catching, were not here. Kudo Shinichi was lying on the bed in the central hospital. There were no injuries on his face, but both arms were wrapped in bandages and placed on the white sheets, almost blending in with the sheets.

The six-eared macaque was sitting upright on a folding chair beside the bed, looking towards the door with a smile, but there was a plate of cut fruit on the bedside table next to her. Kudo Shinichi was still chewing something in his mouth, probably because he saw the visitor and had just finished feeding him.

After a few people greeted each other, the air fell into silence.

Yingsheng glanced at the dazzling array of fruit gift boxes on the bed next to him and chuckled:
"Kudo, I'm not the last one to arrive, you're really popular."

Kudo Shinichi laughed awkwardly: "Actually, there's nothing wrong. It's just that everyone is too enthusiastic."

"So, can you tell me?"

"This...uh..."

"no!"

Kudo Shinichi was still struggling, and Sonoko interrupted him and looked at Hotaru:

"This is a secret. I haven't told any of my classmates yet. I'm really sorry, but I can't tell Suigetsu-kun either."

"Oh."

Yingsheng's eyes shifted slightly: "What about Xuesong-san?"

"Sorry, this is just a misunderstanding and we don't want the situation to escalate." Vermouth smiled gently.

"OK, see you tomorrow, everyone. I'm going to find Batman." Yingsheng turned and left. "Kudo, get well soon."

Several girls looked at each other, wondering what this meant.
Kudo Shinichi was speechless: "He meant that he wanted to beat up the Riddler!"

"…………"

Without mentioning the speechless people, Yingsheng turned around and went into the next ward, greeting them cheerfully:

"Long time no see, Mr. Maori."
