Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 141: The leaders of the Shinran Party and CP talk, Sister Bei wants to atone for her sins!

In the morning, Vermouth tried her best to restrain herself.

But after all, she couldn't help herself, and in the gentle morning light, in the hotel corridor, she hugged Kudo Shinichi tightly.

She said nothing.

He didn't ask anything, nor did he push her away.

Time just passed quietly, and they had turned into amber in the sun, until the hotel cleaning staff came out of the elevator, breaking the beauty and tranquility.

There is nothing else.

Go home and go to school, as usual.

The scene before seemed to be just an illusion.

However, even if it is just a fleeting glimpse, there will be traces left wherever you go.

When she saw Angel again in the classroom, Vermouth felt a strong sense of guilt.

It was because she suddenly realized at that moment that when she hugged Kudo Shinichi in the morning, she had completely forgotten about Angel in her heart.

What's more, she didn't even realize it before, and only realized it now.

Gosh.

What a betrayal this is!
What a mistake she had made!
"I'm telling you in secret, don't tell anyone else."

Vermouth, whose body had been transformed by drugs and whose eyes and ears were sharp, suddenly felt a hidden gaze and heard a girl's whispered words.

"I have a friend who saw Kudo-kun and Xuesong-san coming out of the hotel together when he was buying breakfast this morning."

"!!!!!!"

When Vermouth heard these words, even though she was a seasoned queen, she instantly transformed into a real pure high school girl from the inside out, with her cheeks flushed with shyness.

The two girls in the back row noticed her change and quickly ran over to her and swore in a low voice that they would never tell anyone else.

Vermouth just felt dizzy and didn't hear clearly at all.

It wasn't until a clear laugh came from the seat next to her that she came back to her senses.

"Qingzi-kun, class is about to start."

Memories are rushing, and time is passing by in a flash.

At noon, when Suzuki Sonoko was holding her hand and walking out of the school, Vermouth glanced at Angel's empty seat, and then looked at Mizutsuki Hoto who was sleeping.

I thought:

Was it Hotaru Mizuki's plan to put her and Kudo Shinichi in the same hotel? Was he expecting something to happen between her and Kudo Shinichi, and then Angel would belong to him completely?

Following the force in her hand, Vermouth's last thought was:

wishful thinking!

At a quarter past twelve noon, Vermouth and Suzuki Sonoko sat opposite each other in the corner of the milk tea shop.

Suzuki Sonoko was still talking about something else at first, trying to naturally lead the topic to what she wanted to say, but Vermouth spoke directly:
"You want to tell me about what happened between Kudo-kun and Xiaolan, right?"

She and Suzuki Sonoko hadn't spoken much to each other since Monday, so of course it was only about this matter that she was suddenly pulled out.

Suzuki Sonoko actually knew this, but she was still a little surprised by Vermouth's straightforwardness. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded, her face becoming serious:

"Ran and Shinichi have been childhood sweethearts since they were in the Sakura class in kindergarten. They have always had a good relationship, but there have been some misunderstandings recently."

Vermouth knew this, of course, but she didn't know how Angel and Mizuki Hotaru got together, so she took the opportunity to ask:

"What's the misunderstanding?" "It's still that scumbag Shuiyue Yingsheng!"

When this was mentioned, Sonoko felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she calmed down a little considering that she and Vermouth were not very familiar with each other and they were outside.

When Vermouth heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly felt that she shared the same views with Suzuki Sonoko.

Suzuki Sonoko glanced around and found that no one except the handsome black waiter noticed them, so she continued:
"I don't know what method Mizuki Hotaru used more than half a month ago to make Xiaolan think that he had committed suicide by cutting his wrists.

Xiaolan has a kind personality and has paid a lot of attention to him since then, but he always stays away from her, making Xiaolan more and more worried that he is too withdrawn and might commit suicide again one day.

Last Monday, Xiaolan actually invited him to join the karate club at the school gate. Since then, he has been training with Xiaolan, comforting her when she is down, and helping her decorate her house...

Help her transform her unreliable father...

Help her correct her character...

Become confident..."

As Suzuki Sonoko spoke, her tone became increasingly uncertain, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

The same goes for Vermouth. From hearing this story, it seems that Mizuki Hotaru has no bad intentions towards Angel?
Moreover, she had read the organization's intelligence and knew more about Mizuki Hotaru than Suzuki Sonoko.

According to the intelligence team's analysis, Mizuki Hotaru should have attempted suicide that day, but failed, perhaps because she was stopped by her parents.

However, that near-death experience completely destroyed Mizuki Yingsheng's extremely stretched nerves. He finally completely lost his mind and erupted with the desire to kill.

On the night of the murder, he went to Kabukicho in Shinjuku to linger among the flowers and skipped school for a day.

Thinking of this, Vermouth asked:

"How did Xiaolan know that Mizuki Hotaru committed suicide?"

Sonoko sighed softly: "The next morning after he skipped class for no reason, Xiaolan went to his house to ask why and saw the wound on his right hand. But after he arrived in the classroom, he always wore a wrist guard on his right hand, so no one knows whether he had a wound or not."

She was originally more inclined to believe that the wound was caused by Mizuki Hotaru.

But after sorting out what had just happened, she was a little unsure.

Vermouth was thoughtful. If it was because Angel accidentally discovered the wound that Mizuki Hotaru took care to cover it up afterwards, and took the initiative to move away when Angel approached him, it does make sense. It was just the self-avoidance caused by secrets.

From this perspective, at least at that time, Shuiyue Yingsheng, the flower master, really had no intentions towards Angel?

And the changes that have happened since then until now...

Could it be that Angel's feelings towards Mizuki Hotaru went from curiosity to getting along with her, to gratitude, to being attracted to her?

Angel is the one who took the initiative? !

When she thought of this possibility, Vermouth almost lost her mind and felt terrible.

Then I thought of Kudo Shinichi on my side...

Oops!

Angel and Cool Guy, this pair will never be the same again!
Seeing that Vermouth suddenly looked a little absent-minded, Suzuki Sonoko was at a loss.

No, as Kudo Shinichi's heaven-sent lover, shouldn't you be happy to hear this?
As she stared blankly, Vermouth took a deep breath and looked at Sonoko sharply:

"Tell me, how can I bring them together?"

"what???"

Suzuki Sonoko was stunned: "Are you serious?"

"Very seriously, I must atone for my sins!"

Vermouth saw the sunlight, but she knew that she belonged to the darkness after all!
