Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 224 Yingsheng has the final right to interpret the chess game
"After that, she asked me if I wanted her to help me escape. Well, she helped me."

When Haibara Ai said this, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her chin, but she was now reborn. No matter what that place was like before, it was now smooth and tender, just like a newborn baby that had not yet experienced the ravages of the world.

Huiyuan Ai raised the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were a little cold: "She put a human skin mask on me, and said that in order to achieve a better effect, she cut my skin with a knife. She said that the edges needed to be buried, so that there would be absolutely no flaws.

She also said that after she took me out, she would peel off my original face inch by inch and replace it with a disguised face.

That way, I won't have to worry about being found, and I can live in the sunshine forever."

After she said this, there was silence in the room.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world is but a passing cloud of smoke; the darkness in the hearts of the people here pours out and fills the world.

Yingsheng sighed in his heart.

This step was actually within his expectations, and now it has been verified by Haibara Ai, but the other steps were messed up because of Gin, which was really disappointing.

He leaned close to Xiaolan's ear and whispered, "Vermouth has a grudge against Shirley. I calculated that when Shirley asked her for help when she was confused about the situation and asked her to take her to escape from the institute in disguise, she would agree, so that she could escape from the constraints of the organization and torture Shirley to get revenge.

At that time, I had people monitoring outside the institute at all times. If I found anyone who looked like Shirley, I would take her away and tear her face off. Vermouth would not succeed."

He also thoughtfully prepared a dump truck for Vermouth, but unfortunately it was not used.

and……

Yingsheng paused and continued, "In fact, one of the main reasons why I asked Miss Aida to go to the research institute was to give Shirley a suitable replacement. Miss Aida has a quiet personality and rarely speaks, so it is difficult for others to notice when she is replaced."

Just like Mizuki Hotaru.

Just like Aoyagi Chiso.

And in that way, Vermouth can also ensure that Shirley is always under her nose and there is no need to worry about accidents.

Although the dump truck will teach them how to behave.

Yingsheng really intended to crash the car with all three of them. Anyway, if they controlled their speed, no one would die. Once all three of them were in the hospital, they would be at his mercy.

Seeing Xiaolan's pupils dilated, she was obviously shocked by Yingsheng's inhumanity. Yingsheng quickly added:

"Have you forgotten that I left a bug on Miss Aida? If she is replaced, I will know immediately, and then I will have full control over Shirley's whereabouts. After I rescue her, I will naturally call Gin to inquire about the fact that Miss Aida did not return to the hospital.

The person who answers the phone will most likely be Vodka, and I will tell him that Shirley’s phone call is not accessible.

As long as Vodka is not extremely stupid, after knowing what happened in the institute and finding Miss Aida in some remote corner, he will most likely guess that Vermouth betrayed the organization and escaped with Shirley.

Ms. Aida is just an innocent victim. With me protecting her, she will most likely be fine."

In fact, if there is insufficient information, Vodka may not think of this.

Since Vermouth doesn't want to really betray the organization, she will definitely leave some other tricks to make people think that Shirley escaped through other means and it has nothing to do with her.

But the possibility of such a development is indeed quite high. Miss Aida could not only use it as a trap set for Vermouth before, but now she can also use it as an open reason.

Regardless of whether the plan was going well or it was completely different as it is now, he was the only one who knew everything about this game. Taking advantage of the information gap, no matter who he was facing or how honest he was, he had the absolute right to explain.

Xiaolan had a complicated look in her eyes. After thinking it over in her heart, she had to admit that what Yingsheng said made sense.

It's better to give Shirley a definite replacement target than to search aimlessly afterwards.

only……

Xiaolan sighed softly: "This is too unfair to Miss Aida. She knows nothing and has encountered such a big risk for no reason. She almost died before."

"That's why we tried so hard to save her. Xiaolan, you arrived just in time. And to express my apology, I will give her enough financial compensation later."

"I just think that we didn't do well enough at the beginning. If we can succeed in the corridor..." Xiaolan paused, tilted her head and glanced at Yingsheng, "It seems that there is still a risk. Most of your plan is guesswork. They may not act according to your ideas."

Yingsheng smiled: "It's enough to have a possibility. There is no such thing as a sure thing in this world."

In fact, with the eavesdropping on both Vermouth and Gin, Hotaru has a tighter control over the situation, but Xiaolan is unaware of this and naturally thinks that Hotaru is just guessing.

Also, even if Masayo Aida died, would it have any impact on Hotaru's plan?

At most it would just add another sin to the winery.

Xiaolan shook her head and looked at Huiyuan Ai. Before she could speak, Huiyuan Ai said:

"You two continue. I just thought you were showing off your affection. I definitely didn't realize you had other plans behind your back."

Xiaolan blushed, hesitated for two seconds, looked at Yingsheng, Yingsheng shrugged and said, "Truthfully":

"We ambushed Gin, but unfortunately he didn't die, which led to our plan to rescue you being discovered by the brewery. The research institute has strengthened its defenses. Otherwise, Xiaolan and I could have sneaked in under the guise of identity checking and made some preliminary arrangements to ensure that everything went smoothly and you wouldn't be harmed."

Haibara Ai's eyes trembled slightly, she opened her mouth, and fell silent again, turning the wine glass in her hand involuntarily.

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows: "Remember last Saturday morning, I mainly told you to recognize your core values, you don't need to be too afraid, and then I analyzed the personality of this guy Gin.

The guess that he has a pet-like fondness for you is at least half a joke, mainly to make you feel a little disgusted with him and offset your fear. Don't take it seriously."

"I know, I just feel a little emotional."

Huiyuan Ai said in a muffled voice: "The shadow that has been lingering in my heart for thirteen years has suddenly made us live in harmony for a few days. Now his life or death is unknown, and I have escaped from the organization in a way I never thought of before. No matter how I think about it, I feel that the world is unpredictable."

"Life or death?"

Yingsheng was curious: "How badly injured is he? The ambush site was too dark, so we couldn't confirm it."

Huihara Ai shook her head: "I'm not sure about his physical condition, but the most fatal one was a bullet wound in the right forehead. Sigh, I don't know how he managed to make it to the institute."

"hiss--!"

Yingsheng exclaimed: "It was so close to a head explosion. What a shame, what a shame."
