Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 183 Firefly, the tea is so delicious...

Mr. Suigetsu is with Kudo-kun now?
Miyano Akemi was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Kudo-kun couldn't come over to contact her in person or talk to her, it turned out that there were eyes next to her.

I just don't know if he created this situation on purpose. Didn't he say before that he was prepared?

"I'm sorry to bother you, Ms. Akemi, but I have something I want to consult Ms. Shiho about."

The call was handed over to Kudo Shinichi.

When Miyano Akemi heard this, she looked at Xuesong Kiyoko in confusion again. Isn't this the plan you made? Why are you "wanting to consult" now?
Qingzi shook her head slightly and whispered in her ear: "Sending me to the research institute is too deliberate for Kudo-kun to bring it up. Miss Mingmei needs you to follow Kudo-kun's words and gradually shift the topic in the name of ensuring everything is safe, and then finalize it while he is hesitating.

Of course, Kudo-kun's hesitation is just acting. You just need to speak more seriously and ask him if he really cares about me, and he will agree."

Miyano Akemi looked strange, this...

"The last sentence is actually a secret code." Qingzi said with a smile.

So that's how it is... Miyano Akemi nodded slightly, her face slightly solemn: "Kudo-kun, please go ahead."

Five minutes later, in Ward 413 of Building of Beihua Central Hospital, Kudo Shinichi hung up the phone with some hesitation, and looked at Yingsheng who was sitting beside the bed peeling an apple. His eyes stayed on the extra-long apple peel for two seconds, and he said helplessly:

"Is Miss Mingmei actually a very strong-willed person?"

"How should I know? Maybe there's also an element of public-spiritedness in it." Yingsheng didn't even raise his head. "It's up to you whether you go to the institute or not. Didn't you say Xuesong will wake up tonight?"

Kudo Shinichi sighed: "We've already talked about that, whether I care or not..."

"Then let's go."

"But I originally just wanted to consult Ms. Shiho over the phone, so this isn't necessary."

"Then don't go."

"........."

Kudo Shinichi was speechless. Seeing that the skin of the apple that Hotaru was peeling had turned from red to white, he rolled his eyes and said, "You have already peeled to the flesh."

"I never peel apples before eating them," said Yingsheng.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"It means I don't eat apples when I'm peeling them."

"…waste of food, give it to me."

"OK."

With a poke of the knife, Yingsheng finally broke the peel that had been circling the trash can twice. He handed the apple to Kudo Shinichi, took out paper and wiped the fruit knife, and smiled softly: "Are you worried about being associated with that troublesome research institute?"

Click——

"A little bit." Kudo Shinichi chewed his apple. "Didn't you say they might have a Yakuza background? They treated you like that before."

"So, if you're worried, don't go. Xuesong-san is so fragile, it's best to stay away from them." Yingsheng paused, glanced back at the sleeping beauty on the bed by the window, and lowered his voice a little:
"Kudo, Xuesong-san said before that she was engaged in compensated dating. Is that true?"

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

Kudo Shinichi almost choked to death on a bite of apple. Yingsheng patted his back quickly to make him cough up the apple. After breathing a little better, he looked at Yingsheng with shock, ignoring his red face:
"Did Xiaolan tell you about this?"

Yingsheng frowned slightly: "Why do you think so? Last Monday, Ian Apartment 2601, I was a spectator, you wouldn't have forgotten it." "Oh oh oh, ahem, this matter..." Kudo Shinichi's eyes drifted, "Well... Shuiyue, why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yingsheng shrugged: "Don't think too much, I just suddenly thought of something. You know, I'm also a person who hangs out in the entertainment industry, I know it quite well, and then, hey, there are more things to add to the fun, you know."

"So I was thinking, the doctors think Xuesong-san wouldn't be in a coma for that long, and they suspect it's a physical problem, so..." Yingsheng nodded his head and whispered, "Could it have caused any impact here?"

"!!!"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes widened immediately, and just as he was about to speak, Yingsheng quickly covered his mouth:

"Sorry, sorry, I just said that casually. Don't take it seriously. The effects of medical anesthetics should be scientifically verified. They are not three-no products with unknown sources. There are no impurities that cause strange reactions. It will be absolutely fine."

Upon hearing this, Kudo Shinichi reacted even more violently.

A product without any certification and without any source?

Causes strange reactions?

Isn't this referring to the drug that the unknown person gave Qingzi? !

Yes, if I think about it carefully, the test results said that the oxytocin level in Qingzi's blood sample exceeded the standard, but it did not say that this was the only problem. What if it was because the testing method was limited and other stimulants or even contraband were not detected?

Then those things reacted chemically with the anesthetic that Eto Katsuki gave Kiyoko, which is why Kiyoko has been in a coma until now!

Thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi pulled away Yingsheng's hand and said anxiously, "I think what Miss Mingmei said before makes sense. Qingzi should have a comprehensive examination. The facilities at the research institute are top-notch, and it's the best place to go."

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did I just say something unlucky?"

"No, it just made me think of something."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head quickly, got off the bed, glanced at Vermouth who was still lying quietly as if she was sleeping, turned around and ran out of the ward: "I'll go call the nurse for help."

Yingsheng looked at him strangely. Wouldn't it be enough to just call him over at this time?

He ran out in such a hurry. Hmm... he was just too concerned.

A very innocent little detective.

Yingsheng looked back at Vermouth, leaned over slightly, and whispered in her ear:
"Xuesong, if you are just pretending like this to test Kudo's feelings, then your goal has been achieved. He is absolutely 100% sincere to you. If you continue, the joke will be too much."

The little finger of Vermouth's right hand, which was exposed outside the bed sheet, trembled slightly, but Yingsheng ignored it and sighed softly:
"Is he really unconscious? Oh, I'm sorry."

Vermouth's ring finger also began to tremble. Yingsheng shook his head, stood up and walked towards the door:
"Although Kudo said that he only saw the shadow of Miss Shiho in you, it is impossible for him to be with Miss Shiho now. His true heart will definitely be transferred to you slowly.

Alas, white moonlight,
Alas, substitute literature,

Alas, but this can be considered true love. He was so eager just now.

Alas, where is my true love?"

Yingsheng sighed a series of times and walked out of the door. Behind him, Vermouth suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with deep hatred.

Is Shirley Cool Guy's sweetheart?

She would never allow such a thing!
