Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 2 Showdown! Kudo Shinichi!

The next day, two o'clock in the afternoon.

In Teitan High School, in the second-year Class B classroom, Kudo Shinichi felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket, he quietly took it out and took a look, his eyes immediately lit up.

He raised his right hand without hesitation and looked towards the podium expectantly. The physics teacher who was chanting on the stage paused, sighed helplessly, and waved his hand.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Kudo Shinichi ran out of the classroom quickly. The words "Inspector Megure" were faintly heard in the wind. Everyone in the classroom was quite experienced in this scene. They were whispering and guessing what case it would be.

"Suiyue, how many people do you think will die this time?"

The yellow-haired guy sitting by the window in the last row poked the person in front of him on the back, and Yingsheng tilted his head slightly.

"One."

"I'll guess two. Do you want to take a gamble?"

"Not interested, I'm sure I'll win."

"Oh... what do you think about us having a death lottery? Just like buying a lottery ticket, we can set different odds and let people guess the number of deaths in Beika Town every day."

"I wish you to become bigger and stronger. I will invest one million in you..."

"Suiyue-kun!"

The teacher on the stage suddenly called on the students and said with a smile: "Please go to the blackboard and answer this question."

Yingsheng turned around and saw that the question gave the current of two transformers and required the calculation of the transmission efficiency.

Simple question.

Kudo-san, the answer is right there, please think about it more, but not too much.

In the last physical education class, Yingsheng asked for leave on the grounds of feeling unwell, and the physical education teacher approved it immediately.

After all, the body left to him by the original owner was 60cm tall and weighed no more than kg. His thin figure and almost pathologically pale skin made him look like a sickly beautiful boy to anyone who saw him. His condition had only improved recently.

Yingsheng did not participate in club activities and left school directly. Just after three o'clock, he was already back at his doorstep, Room 2602, Ian Apartment.

There were several policemen standing at the door of the next room, looking at him. Before they could speak, Yingsheng took the initiative to walk over and asked, "What happened here?"

Kudo Shinichi, who was deep in thought in the living room, heard the voice and looked at him in surprise: "Sui Yue, why are you here?"

"I live next door. Maori-san should have told you about it. What's going on here?"

"Oh oh, that thing."

Kudo Shinichi's handsome face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he leaned over and whispered, "The reason why you missed class that day, I told Xiaolan and the teacher that it was hypoglycemia, but Xiaolan still suspects that you attempted suicide by cutting your wrists that day, and I have been paying attention to you recently."

Hotaru sighed softly. In fact, he went to Kabukicho in Shinjuku to work part-time that day.

"She is so kind. She came to ask me to go to school the next morning. I was careless and let her see the scar on my wrist. I just tried to get away with it. But she even asked you, a famous detective, to come and test me."

"The scars are probably caused by domestic violence."

"Skip this section."

"Oh...thank you for the rare first edition of A Study in Scarlet."

Kudo Shinichi said that it was definitely not a bribe, it was a testimony of their friendship!

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Nothing, just something from home. I'm not very interested in mystery novels."

"Mr. Officer, what do you want?"

A timid and gentle female voice outside the door interrupted the conversation. Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up and he hurried out. He saw a girl in a white sailor suit standing at the elevator door, her slender fingers tightly holding a handbag, her knuckles slightly white.

Yingsheng glanced at Kudo Shinichi's back, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

The uniforms of Beika High School are better looking than those of Teitan High School.

However, Kudo Shinichi was wearing a blue suit-style uniform, with an upright posture and confident eyes, and he was indeed a complete elite.

I don't know if he can follow through this time. A fat police officer in orange came forward and explained to Xue Songqingzi why he called her back from school.

At about 12:30 noon today, her father, Xuesong Masato, was electrocuted to death by a broken high-voltage power line in Beika Central Park. After the police found out the identity of the deceased, they rushed here immediately and happened to see the deceased's wife Xuesong Nami instructing people to help her move, so they stopped her on the spot.

"Little bitch! You're finally back!"

Before Megure Jusan could finish his words, a heavily made-up woman rushed out of the room. Even though Hotaru avoided her in advance, the overly strong fragrance in the air made him frown slightly.

"Those three personal accident insurance policies were bought by you, right? I want half of them!"

The woman rushed to Qingzi, her face almost twisted with excitement, all kinds of powder fell to the ground, "No, I gave birth to you and took care of you for so many years, four hundred million! I want at least four hundred million!"

Qingzi lowered her head and said nothing.

Megure Jusan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he interrupted, "Madam, please calm down. The matter has not been investigated thoroughly yet."

"What's there to investigate?"

Xue Song Nami turned around, her face furious, "Didn't you say it was an accident?! Why do you still need to investigate? You didn't take money from the insurance company!"

Megure Jusan's face darkened. "Two commercial insurance policies were purchased only ten days ago. There is a serious suspicion of insurance fraud. We must investigate it thoroughly. Please cooperate with the police."

"Ten days?"

Xuesong Nami was stunned, looked back at Qingzi, then turned back and forced a few smiles on her face which was mottled like a shabby doll.

"Ten days is a long time. Who knows when an accident will happen?"

Yingsheng showed approval in his eyes, yes, that's it.

Unfortunately, the police didn't think so. After everyone entered the room, Megure Jusan pointed at the insurance policy that Xue Song Nami had found on the coffee table in the living room and asked in a deep voice, "Kiyori-kun, what made you buy these commercial insurances?"

Qingzi sat sideways on the sofa and was silent for a long time.

"My father lost all our savings in gambling, and was fired after being found to have embezzled company funds. This apartment has also been mortgaged. He has borrowed a lot of extremely high-interest loans, and he has absolutely no ability to repay them. I think he will be sunk into Tokyo Bay sooner or later."

hiss--

Megure Jusan took a breath and glanced at the corner of the sofa. Yuzunami was smoking a ladies' cigarette with a look of disdain on her face. Behind her was the man who had helped her move, a timid middle-aged Mediterranean man.

What a nightmare family!
But since he is a policeman, he has to ask questions when he finds any suspicious points. Megure Jusan took a deep breath.

"Kiyoko-kun, the insurance you bought two months ago has a monthly renewal fee of 2000 yen, which is normal. But the two policies you bought ten days ago have a starting premium of yen. Where did you get so much money?"

Qingzi lowered her head, "Aid | Communication."

"What?!!!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. You are still a 17-year-old high school girl. You did that kind of thing to buy life accident insurance for your father. This... this...

This is too outrageous!

"He's planning to use me to pay off his debts anyway, so why should I care?"

Qingzi raised her head, gently wiped the crystal from the corners of her eyes, and smiled, "It's great that God took away someone like him. I originally thought about committing suicide, but now, I like this world."

[Love +1]

Yingsheng thought that at least one of what she said was true.

"Officer Sang, what do you want to ask?" she asked.

Megure Jusan turned his head to look at Kudo Shinichi, who nodded silently.

A female police officer came forward with a clear evidence bag.

"Qingzi-kun, do you recognize this?"

Inside, there is a pink headband.
