Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 201: The Second Round, a Storm is Brewing
"That's really a shame."

Yingsheng sighed, put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup, and raised it in the direction of the research institute:
"Have a safe journey, Kudo."

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

"Damn it! Seriously!" Xiaolan said angrily, "Didn't you say you wanted to save him?"

Yingsheng nodded: "But thinking about it is one thing, and being able to do it is another."

"Oh my god, you..."

Xiaolan looked helpless: "Since you told me, there must be a way, otherwise why did you let me know that you are a jerk who cheats people?
Please, Shuiyue-kun, if this is a test for me, then I have really reached the limit of my brainstorming, please at least give me some more information, otherwise I really can't think of anything else. "

"Ah this..."

Yingsheng scratched his ears and said awkwardly: "Xiaolan, you have too much confidence in me, maybe I just want to improve your recognition of me."

"Humph, Watanuki Credit Co., Ltd., the underground casino, the previous ambush, even if you want me to get to know your true colors more and more, you should do it step by step. You know how terrible it is to suddenly push Shinichi into the fire pit and leave him alone."

Yingsheng gave her a thumbs up and said, "That's great, but there is actually another possibility."

"Yes, that's just me being sentimental. You actually don't care about anything at all." Xiaolan stared into Yingsheng's eyes and said word by word:

"But I don't believe it."

Yingsheng was stunned for two seconds, then blinked: "Have you finished eating?"

Xiaolan stood up immediately: "I have been mad at you for a long time, Mr. Shuiyue, can you teach your useless student a lesson now?"

clatter--

Yingsheng put down his chopsticks, no longer slow, wiped his mouth, stood up, paid the bill and left, saying as he walked:
"The problems I told you about before are all objective. I really can't do anything about the turtle shell of the research institute. I have some peripheral ideas, but I have to go there and verify them on the spot. And I have stolen a moment of free time, so it's not like I'm doing nothing."

Ying Shengxu tapped his ear and said, "My life is peaceful here because someone is carrying the burden for me. She just got in touch with some weapons supply through Miss Mingmei's channel. By the way, have I told you about Miss Mingmei's ex-boyfriend?"

"No." Xiaolan shook her head.

"Oh, that's my bad. Miss Mingmei's ex-boyfriend is an FBI agent. He once went undercover in the winery and defected two years ago. Miss Mingmei's phone still has his contact information. I asked him for some equipment. We're going to get it now."

"FBI?"

Xiaolan's eyes flickered and she seemed quite excited, as if it was some blockbuster movie.

"Are they so easy to talk to? Did Shuiyue-kun just ask for equipment and didn't ask them to assist us?"

"When they heard that we were going to attack the brewery, they became interested. When they knew that Gin was at least seriously injured, they insisted on coming to help. However, I didn't want them to know our identities, so I only asked for weapons."

Yingsheng hailed a taxi on the roadside and asked the driver to go straight to Beihua Central Park.

The distance was not far and they arrived in a moment. Yingsheng got off the car alone and asked Xiaolan to find a clothing store to change clothes and preferably buy a mask to wear.

Xiaolan's body tensed up a little: "Did the winery send someone to see us at Samadhi House before?"

"Yes, that's when you're thinking about something. You're quite professional. If it weren't for the receptionist helping me keep an eye on you, I wouldn't have been able to notice it." Yingsheng smiled, "I asked the receptionist for help when you were thinking about something."

"…I'm so sorry I was distracted. What did that person look like?"

“A little old man with gray hair, short hair, a thin face, a big nose, wearing a black baseball cap and round-lens black goggles.

He didn't follow us immediately when we left, so after you change your clothes at the clothing store, take a taxi home and then jump out of the other window, and I'll pick you up there."

"Understood." Things seemed to be on the right track, and Xiaolan's expression became serious. After the taxi left, Yingsheng opened a communication channel:

"Hopefully, I've arrived to touch the package."

"OK~~ Lord God, can you leave them to me?" Huaying's voice was light and fluffy, just like sweet marshmallows.

"Sorry, I've already learned a hard lesson today. I have to make sure they die."

"Oh, big brother, be careful. They may have someone lying in ambush in the tree."

"I know. Did you have fun this afternoon?"

"I'm not happy at all without my big brother."

"Hey, where's Miyano Akemi?"

"My family, really, why do you want to keep her, big brother, is Shirley so important?"

"Who is your favorite person?"

"Of course it's you, big brother. You saved me twice. I like big brother the most."

"What about number two?"

"Um... teddy bear?"

"Are there any humans? Preferably dead ones, with their bodies still intact."

"Of course it's my sister. I miss her so much. I dream about her every other night."

"What if I say that the ultimate goal of Shirley's research is to resurrect the dead?"

"Eh?!!! You must be kidding! That kind of thing! So... so amazing! Lady Shirley, I'm in love with her!"

"The reactions are all the same, but this thing is indeed magical." Yingsheng smiled slightly, "You know, hope, I originally thought that this world was quite boring, but after having this thing... well, I feel that I can do some very interesting things."

"It's the zombie virus, right? My Lord God, you must be expecting this, right!"

"I'm not that perverted. Hey, stop gesticulating. The crown of a tree is already moving strangely."

"Eh... those guys are so weak."

laugh--

There was a very slight sound of a sharp weapon piercing, and Huaying hoped to curl her lips in boredom:
"Big brother, won't you take me with you on your next move? I'm very sad."

"It's just bad luck that the winery knows about your relationship with me. That cocktail bar is the property of the winery. Your big dog might even be a code name member."

"Speaking of which, I put a bug in his place and heard him threatening Mr. Amuro about half an hour ago, telling him to stay away from a man called Itakura Taku."

"Huh? Didn't Gin already assign that mission to me? Is that guy still doing it?"

"About forty minutes ago, he received another call, and he addressed the person on the other end as Vodka."

"interesting……"

Yingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "He made this call at such a critical moment. Considering the time period, it might be related to Shirley... Could it be that the software that Itakura Taku is developing is related to drug research and development?
I hope to give you a task."
