Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 244 The storm is coming and the wineries are everywhere!
"Hey, where are you? Xiaolan has already started the game."

The call was connected, and amidst the enthusiastic cheers, the somewhat resentful voice of Suzuki Sonoko was heard.

"I just got up and was going to go over after dinner."

Yingsheng took his cell phone away and was quite satisfied that there was no missed call.

"Damn it! Don't you have any motivation at all? You are definitely playing with Xiaolan's feelings again!" Yuanzi said indignantly, "What kind of magic potion did you give Xiaolan? I wanted to call you before, but she kept stopping me, saying that you were too tired yesterday and didn't rest well.

But do you think I don't know? You must have gone to find another woman, right? "

Yingsheng laughed: "You really wronged me, but even if it is true, it seems to have nothing to do with you."

"Asshole! You scumbag..."

Suzuki Sonoko started to go berserk, so Hotaru simply hung up the phone. To prevent her from calling again, he directly called Amuro Toru's number and looked at Kiyoko when it rang:

"What to eat?"

"You'd better go and accompany Miss Lan." Qingzi snorted and walked towards the kitchen. "Anyway, you're worried that I'll poison you, so you don't dare to eat the food I cook."

"Don't worry so much, I've been eating for so long, if there's anything wrong, it's already been seven days..." After the call was connected, Yingsheng raised his phone, "Mr. Amuro, how is the software development going?"

"Sorry, Mr. Mizuki, there was a small accident and I'm looking for other people to work overtime urgently." Toru Amuro said.

"That's really disappointing. What's the surprise?"

"Did you watch the news this morning?"

"I just got up, just tell me."

"A large-scale natural gas leak and explosion occurred in the area near the office building where Itakura Taku's studio is located early this morning. Many people were killed and injured. Itakura Taku also disappeared, and the software development naturally came to an end."

"Natural gas leak explosion?"

Yingsheng sneered: "Even if I haven't seen the gossip, I know this is definitely a cover-up. Mr. Amuro, can you tell me the truth?"

Amuro said, "I'm sorry, that's all I know. There are rumors that there was a large-scale gunfight and a helicopter crash, but there is not even a video on the Internet. It's probably just a rumor. This is Tokyo, how could such a thing happen?"

"Okay, who are you looking for now?"

"It was another amazing game engineer named Yuan Jiaming. His development cycle was the shortest among all the others, only taking five days."

"Five days? Mr. Amuro, do you want to listen to what you are talking about?"

"........."

Toru Amuro felt that it was really tiring to communicate with laymen, so he decided to give up.

"Mr. Shuiyue, I really can't meet your request. I can refund the money, but please find someone else."

"That's not what I meant, sorry sorry, I just wanted to say..."

Yingsheng paused and lowered his voice slightly: "Itakura Takuto is missing, but his computer and data are not missing. Let Yuan Jiaming continue to develop based on his data, and the time should be greatly shortened."

Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Shuiyue, you are infringing on other people's intellectual property rights."

"I don't use it for commercial purposes, so it's not a big problem. If he comes to me, I'll just pay him."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "And to put it bluntly, since it can be called a natural gas leak and explosion, no matter what happened there, it must have caused a big fuss. He said he was missing, but in fact... heh, maybe it was the police..."

Amuro Toru interrupted, "There was only one person whose body was found at the scene, and it was definitely not Itakura Taku."

How did this person end up saying that the police were covering up something? Although some of his words are indeed untrue, they were all meant to appease the people.

Yingsheng was puzzled: "No, there is no trace of his body left. How can we be sure that he is not Itakura Taku? Did someone watch him die?"

Amuro Toru was silent, really.

"Tequila" was watching as he was shot in the head by a sniper from the organization. Coincidentally, the helicopter behind him crashed and hit his body, leaving no trace of his corpse.

It doesn't seem to be a mere coincidence.

In order to prevent the explosion of the helicopter from affecting too many people, Kazami desperately controlled the helicopter to crash into the only open space nearby at the last moment. When "Tequila" escaped from the hall, he was shot in the head on that open space.

No one in Group Zero delved into the true identity of "Tequila".

In order to prevent code name members from leaking secrets after being caught, the organization would directly snipe and kill them to silence them, which is indeed something they are capable of doing.

Amuro said: "It is said that there is an identity certificate, but I am not sure."

"OK."

Yingsheng said indifferently: "What do you think of my previous idea? Is it feasible?"

Amuro Toru said, "I'm sorry, the explosion there was so large that Taku Itakura's computer is probably gone, and even if it was, I can't get it."

Even if he could get something that the organization and the defecting Shirley Fang cared so much about, he would not give it to them.

Besides, support was organized and arrived halfway through, driving away the undermanned Zero Group. Ten minutes later, when the Metropolitan Police Department sent a large force there on a legitimate basis, a huge explosion really occurred there, and the entire building was almost destroyed.

This is also the reason why the police covered up the explosion as a natural gas leak.

In this way, no matter whether Itakura Taku's computer was taken away by the organization or destroyed in the explosion, the police and he would have nothing in their hands.

Today's early morning results:

Several people were killed or injured, an armed helicopter crashed, and only some information that needs to be verified was obtained.

It was a great defeat!

"I see..." Yingsheng thought, "What about Lawyer Fei's financial situation?"

“…The investigation has not yet begun.”

Toru Amuro was quite speechless. He was indeed just a bored young master who just did whatever he thought of.

"Then can you investigate whether Kudo Yusaku has cheated on his wife, Kudo Shinichi's father?"

"What's his address?"

"Los Angeles, USA. I don't know the details."

"...Mr. Shuiyue, do you have anything else to say? If you are not satisfied with the martial arts software, I can refund the money immediately."

But Toru Amuro still had important things to do and didn't want to continue chatting with this boring guy.

Yingsheng said: "Give me the contact information of Yuan Jiaming. I need to consult him about something. There is no need to refund the money. Um... Miss Aida has to take a leave for the weekend. Why don't you go to the hospital and chat with Mr. Maori when you are free."

Toru Amuro really wanted to say: This is another matter and requires extra money.

However, he had originally planned to contact Mao Lilan, so this was also an opportunity.

The same thing happened with Itakura Taku before. Mr. Suigetsu might be his lucky star.

"No problem, anything else?"

"That's it, have a nice weekend." After hanging up the phone, Yuan Jiaming's contact information was quickly sent to him. Yingsheng called and asked some simple questions, and finally got the address.

Sohocho 407-chome, Xianzhi Apartment, .

After taking a look at Kiyoko who was busy in the kitchen, Yingsheng went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, then opened the window in the cloakroom to check the weather. It was a very sunny day.

After changing into a simple white T-shirt and jeans, Yingsheng walked to the kitchen door: "Do you have to cook for yourself?"

Qingzi didn't look back, but just cut the celery skillfully: "Twenty minutes at most, Ying can't wait anymore?"

Yingsheng glanced at the table and said, "It's not that urgent. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Help to finish the food later."

"Okay, can we open the balcony now?"

"Of course, if Vermouth doesn't peek."

"If you want to guard against someone who can disguise himself, you can only hide in the safe house and don't come out. Don't take it too seriously."

Yingsheng went over, took the quilt and carried it back to his room, drew open the curtains, and the blocked sunlight couldn't wait to pour into the living room. He pushed open the glass door, and a breeze came in. The slightly stuffy air in the room began to become a little more lively.

Yingsheng stretched lazily in the sunlight, and the energy from a good sleep began to radiate in his body.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Xiaolan.

But in just a moment, his thoughts jumped to another person. He dialed the phone and the call was answered immediately.

"Big brother, I miss you so much."

The voice clearly still had a hint of irritability, but at the end it completely turned into a coquettish tone.

Yingsheng smiled and shook his head, then walked to the edge of the balcony railing: "How is Miyano Akemi?"

"Let me see."

After a series of soft rolling sounds, Huaying called out to Miyano Akemi twice, but there was no response, so she said, "She should be fine. She's sleeping soundly now."

Yingsheng was speechless: "I say, he is not dead, go and check his breath."

"Didn't my big brother treat her wound? She can't be dead."

Having said that, Huaying hoped that there would still be a series of "dong dong dong" footsteps over there. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Big brother has removed the bullet and sutured her wound. If she still dies, it would be too disrespectful to big brother."

"Oh, what nonsense. Wake her up and ask her to cooperate to see if the wound is inflamed. I am only an amateur, and based on my experience, I know that the intestines are not injured, so it is not a big problem. If there is a misdiagnosis, I cannot guarantee that she will be safe."

Huaying hoped to do as she was told. After a while, Miyano Akemi woke up and her voice sounded dry and weak.

After a burst of rustling sounds of bandages being untied, Huaying said hopefully, "The wound on her lower abdomen has scabbed over and is very smooth. It doesn't look like there's any inflammation. However, the penetrating wounds on her palms are a bit troublesome and look like they're festering. Should we take her to the hospital?"

Yingsheng said, "Take anti-inflammatory medicine first. She has a wound on her abdomen and cannot move easily. I will give her an injection of anesthesia later. You need to go out for a while."

"No problem, just hope it doesn't get too boring."

"I'm sorry, but I want you to hand over Itakura Taku's unfinished game software to someone, and then secretly protect him to find a game engineer and let him continue the development. It's a silver bullet offensive, and no force is used."

"Oh, big brother, do you want to play games?"

"Just provide some data to them so that they can develop something faster. Remember to hide your identity. The silver mask you wore last night was quite nice. It didn't have too many decorations, and the lines at the corners of your eyes were quite simple and elegant."

"That's a ball mask. When will big brother invite me to dance?"

"Well, maybe next time. I'll give you the address later."

After hanging up, Yingsheng called the number on the new phone that Junerik bought last night. It took a while for the call to be connected. The voice on the other end asked nervously:
"Mr. Shuiyue, what's the matter?"

"The organization knows what you look like. You will be out later to discuss a business deal and lure out the snake outside. Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you in secret. Nothing will happen. In addition, with you attracting the organization's attention, Xiao Ai will be safer, isn't it?"

Yingsheng smiled.

At first, Junerick was a little nervous, and even his breathing became rapid, but when he heard Xiao Ai, he immediately made up his mind: "I know, I..."

"Mr. Shuiyue, didn't you say to use the magnetic disk to spread the news that I'm still alive?"

Huihara Ai interrupted.

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this guy Zhunerik actually using the hands-free function?

"Have you watched the news this morning? About the natural gas leak and explosion." Yingsheng applied what he was learning on the spot. In fact, he hadn't even watched the news yet.

"See, is there any hidden secret there?"

"There is a computer programmer working for the organization. I came back from Professor Hirota's house in Shizuoka last night and went there with the disk. I wanted to pass your message to the winery through him, and then spread it out.

The organization knew about it, but so did another undercover agent who was lurking in the organization. They fought there, making a lot of noise, and the engineer was also killed by a sniper from the winery.

The sniper is a woman with a brown-red mushroom-shaped hairdo. She looks a little neurotic. Do you know her?"

Yingsheng is telling the truth.

Huihara Ai's tone turned cold: "It's Chianti, a member of the Gin Operation Team."

"Oh, there's another old man with gray hair. He looks quite serious and never smiles."

"Cohen, and Chianti are partners."

"Does the organization have armed helicopters? Are there any members with problems with their right eyes?"

"what?!"

The news that armed helicopters were dispatched in Tokyo surprised Aihara, but there was a problem with her right eye...

She shook her head: "I have limited information, and I have never heard of such a person."

"Ok."

Hotaru knew that they were most likely the people behind Amuro Toru, but he didn't know if they were also lurking in the winery. Now it seems unlikely.

"Anyway, that's it. They both stole your limelight, so I plan to use other methods. Not only do I plan to spread your news, but I also plan to let them fight again, anyway, to strike at the organization.

Of course, if you are eager to find your sister, there is actually a simplest and quickest way.

How about being interviewed anonymously by a TV station?

Just tell her some explosive news, and within a day, your sister will definitely know that you have escaped."

Yingsheng suggested.

Huiyuan Ai was silent for a few breaths: "It doesn't seem to conflict if these two are carried out at the same time."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Look, is there a reporter you like? I'll help you contact him."

Haibara Ai thought for a moment and said, "Nimi TV, Mizunashi Rena."
