Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 276: All the glory belongs to Xiaolan! Farewell, Shinichi!

Sonoko has a strong sense of justice, but she will protect herself as long as it does not violate principles, so she will certainly not refuse such a reasonable request.

She nodded quickly and asked, "Can I call the police?"

"Anyone can do this kind of thing. There's no need." Yingsheng turned around and headed for the gymnasium entrance. "Let's see how far the police will investigate. We can rely on our familiarity with Kudo to get closer and listen to what's going on."

Sonoko was still quite curious. While following Hotaru, she looked in the direction of Kudo Shinichi, but all she saw was Kudo Shinichi's back as he squatted down to check the corpse. She could only see a little black edge of the corpse.

It was the man's blue shirt soaked in blood.

Yuanzi turned around and said, "What on earth is going on? I didn't hear any gunshots. Could it be a silenced pistol?"

"How should I know? Have the people on the Suzuki Tower found any suspicious persons?" Yingsheng asked back.

Yuanzi immediately called the person there, but as soon as she got through, she wondered how they could have found anything in such a short time. But to her surprise, the person on the other end actually gave her a finding:

"A woman with a brown mushroom-like head appeared on the rooftop of a nearby building, carrying a guitar case on her back. I was going to report it to the lady right away, but she took out a telescope from the guitar case, looked in the direction of the gymnasium for a few times, and then turned and left."

Yuanzi asked quickly: "Did he just leave?"

"Yes, what happened over there, miss?"

"Ask him which building it is," said Yingsheng, who was listening in. "Try to track that person's location. We can call the police anonymously later."

Yuanzi relayed the message, and the man immediately gave the location and said he could try to follow her, then asked if the young lady needed a bodyguard, and he immediately sent someone over.

"No need. Be careful not to be discovered by the other side. Those people may be very dangerous." Sonoko said.

"It doesn't matter if we lose him. It's none of our business anyway," Yingsheng added.

After hanging up the phone, Sonoko looked at Hotaru with disgust: "I find that you have no sense of justice."

"That's because you haven't discovered the bad things I did secretly. Otherwise, I can't describe it so simply."

Yingsheng smiled and walked back to the gymnasium against the flow of people who had come out to watch the excitement. When he returned to his seat, there was still some time before Xiaolan's next game.

However, Xiaolan was already watching the game at the edge of the stadium, and had obviously noticed this side before. After a moment, she found that Yingsheng and the other person had returned. She made a gesture to them from a distance, pointing to Kisaki Eri and the other person in the next row below them.

Hotaru nodded, turned his head to look at Kyogoku Makoto on the right, and pointed at the two people, Mori, who were leaning against the railing at the lower right.

"Kyogoku-senpai, did those two just have an argument?"

Xiao Lanbi's gesture is to put her hands together and then separate them, and the meaning is clear.

Let the two of them sit together, but Xiaolan had persuaded Kisaki Eri for a long time before, and now Xiaolan wants them to separate. Something must have happened.

Kyogoku Makoto nodded: "I didn't pay attention to what happened specifically, but not long after you left, the man in the wheelchair started yelling, saying something like 'someone else framed him and waited for this moment.'

I looked over and found that there was another lady in front of them. She didn't say anything and just turned and left.

After that, the gentleman kept explaining something to the lady next to him, but after the voice returned to normal, I stopped paying attention. ”

"What does that lady look like?" Yingsheng asked.

"I didn't pay much attention to the details, but she was probably in her twenties, but she was dressed very revealingly." Kyogoku Shindo.

"That's it."

Haha, it should be Kanako, probably talking about what happened in the hospital yesterday.

Mr. Maori really deserved it. He was given so much time and he didn't confess a word. Where did he get the confidence to hide it?

Are you worried that this kind of thing will lower your image in Lawyer Fei's heart?

Please, if you tell her honestly what happened yesterday, saying that you were used, and swear to change your ways from now on, and you look at Kanako as if she were a clown when she comes, Lawyer Hime will have a preconceived impression of you, and your image in her heart will only increase greatly.

Alas, I gave you the opportunity but you didn't make any use of it.

Hotaru glanced at Maori Kogoro and couldn't help but be curious: "After this happened, lawyer Hime, that lady, has never left?"

"I didn't notice, probably." Kyogoku Makoto said casually.

"...Did any opponents worth noting appear in the previous matches?"

"Both of them performed very well, but as long as Maori can maintain her previous state, no one can be her opponent." Kyogoku Makoto paused and tilted his head, "Lawyer Hime? The two people who just had problems are Maori's parents?"

Seeing Yingsheng nodded, Kyogoku Makoto frowned immediately: "Will this affect Maori's competitive state?"

"It should be more or less, but it's not a big problem. She can probably overcome it."

Yingsheng thought about it, walked over to ask the cheerleading team of Beihu High School for a sign, borrowed a pen, wrote a few big words on the back, and showed it to Xiaolan.

——Believe her.

When Xiaolan saw these words from afar, her eyes moved slightly and she nodded. She no longer paid attention to the audience and turned to watch the game seriously.

Seeing this scene, Kyogoku couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Shuiyue is really a good teacher and friend."

"Xiaolan understands the truth, but she hesitates from time to time. I didn't do anything."

Yingsheng returned the sign to the cheerleading team and looked towards the exit. There was a slight commotion there, but it was not enough to spread into the gymnasium.

Yuanzi had also been paying attention to that place, feeling quite restless. When he saw Yingsheng coming back, he hurried over and said, "Many people have already gone out over there. Why don't we go in too? We have to see what happens next."

Yingsheng still sat back in his original position: "Don't be anxious, the police haven't come yet. Kudo must be the one maintaining the situation over there. We will only cause trouble for him if we go over there."

"How can it cause trouble?"

Yuanzi muttered something, but also sat down calmly. She knew that even if she went out now, there would be no follow-up as long as the police didn't come.

As a result, she waited until Xiaolan won the second game and successfully advanced to the finals, but the police still didn't come.

The news of the death outside had gradually spread among the audience. Many people went out to take a look, but there was no follow-up. They waited for a while and then came back to continue watching the game. Miraculously, the game was not paused.

"What on earth is going on today? The police are so inefficient."

Sonoko frowned slightly, thought for a while, took out her cell phone, called the security captain and asked if many incidents happened in Tokyo today?
The police are too busy to handle it?

The security captain immediately launched investigations through various channels, and within five minutes the abnormal situation was reported to the eldest lady.

In Shuangbao Town, an unknown underworld organization and the police launched a large-scale fight, and the police have no time to take care of some trivial matters.

Finally, the security captain added, "Miss, the person you asked me to remotely track and monitor was driving a blue Dodge Viper SRT-10GTS sports car. She was heading roughly towards Shuangbao Town, but there were buildings blocking her view further away, so I couldn't see her."

Yuanzi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Tell the police this information anonymously and say that the other party is a sniper."

"Understood! Miss, are you sure you don't need a bodyguard?"

"No need, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Sonoko told Hotaru what she knew. Hotaru thought for a moment, but still didn't have much of a clue. The winery, the forces behind Amuro Toru, and the forces at the warehouse last night, it seemed possible that any of them were involved in the shootout with the police.

Even if Chianti went there, it is completely unknown whether she went there to join the battle or just watch from the sidelines.

“I wish the police a great victory and to wipe out the evil forces in one fell swoop.”

Yingsheng finally said this.

He doesn't care no matter how things develop.

[Killing Intent +1]

[Killing Intent +1]

[Killing Intent +1]

[Killing Intent +1]

…………

These reminders kept popping up in his mind, making Yingsheng feel as happy as an old farmer with a good harvest.

Because of the fact that Junerick went to visit Yuan Jiaming in secret yesterday, many people probably realized that there was a mastermind behind all this.

That’s great, there’s so much killing intent.

Do you want to think of a way to make it more clear that those people's murderous intent is directed at him?
Yingsheng touched his chin and thought, forget it, killing intent is easy to come by, there is no need to take any risks. Besides, he is not alone now, and there are many people involved.

Thinking of this, Yingsheng dialed Amuro Toru's number, but the call was hung up after three seconds.

Still alive, not bad.

Yingsheng called Yuan Jiaming again, but the phone was turned off. He didn't know who had his phone now, or whether the martial arts software could be released.

Yingsheng chuckled and called the number of the younger brother of Sumiyoshi-kai. He actually didn't care about that kind of thing at all. It was just a cover.

There are many excellent programmers in the world. Without Itakura Taku and Hara Yoshiaki, there are naturally others.

To take a step back, even if those two people are really the best and second best programmers in the world, when they are chosen by Toru Amuro, it is impossible for Hotaru to entrust them with the program requirements that he really needs to develop.

The first is the extrapolation of experimental data of drug A;
The second is the calculation of the formula of the human skin mask.

The two programs that Yingsheng needs most are not very different in essence. The only difference is the basic data sets, which are constantly enumerated in a prescribed manner.

With the semi-finished program developed by Itakura Taku for the winery, it does not take a genius to gradually improve it.

Yes, the semi-finished program developed by Itakura Taku is of course in Yingsheng's hands.

I have to say, sometimes the FBI sign is really useful.

Just as Toru Amuro had originally thought, Itakura Taku, a man who already had a tendency to escape abroad, was overjoyed by Miyano Akemi being remotely controlled by Hotaru, and thought that he could rest assured from then on and breathe the sweet air under the beacon of freedom.

As part of the evidence against the winery, his unfinished software was of course handed over by him personally.

Unfortunately, he was deceived by Vermouth again later, and it is unknown whether he revealed anything.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?"

The phone was answered and I asked respectfully.

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "How did I become the president? What did I tell you last night?"

The man on the other side hurriedly said, "It's not that I have any ulterior motives. This is President Kanhara's order this morning. From now on, Mr. Liuying is also our president."

"That's it..."

Yingsheng sighed, feeling that he was really sinful, "Do you know what's going on in Shuangbao Town?"

"I only know that the police took action first, and I don't know anything else. If the president wants to investigate in detail, I..."

"No, find me a good programmer who is obedient. Silver bullet offensive, understand?"

"Understood, I will supervise it personally!" "Yes, I am very optimistic about you."

After drawing a worthless pie and listening to the other party's excited expression of loyalty, Yingsheng hung up the phone and explained to Yuanzi, who was full of curiosity:
"The private investigator and programmer I hired for the martial arts software seem to have run away. I'll try another one."

"........."

Yuanzi was quite speechless: "Can't you, a gangster, do something serious?"

"I'm doing the right thing now. What do you think the Yakuza are like? They come together for profit, but they don't have to fight and kill. The people in Shuangbao Town have problems. They are engaging in a large-scale fight with the police. They are crazy. Do they still know their last name?"

Yingsheng opened a PDF and showed it to Yuanzi. Yuanzi took a look at the title and her eyes immediately widened.

"A plan for normalizing the club's operations?!"

Sonoko looked at Yingsheng in shock: "Do we have to write a business plan in the Yakuza? No, you want them to get away with it?"

"There are so many Yakuza annual meetings. It's reported in the news every year. What's wrong with writing a business plan?" Yingsheng asked her to turn the page and continued, "Everyone joins the Yakuza, except for a few with mental problems, most of them come for the money.

As long as they can make money from legitimate business, why don't they do it? There are not many jidao opening milk tea shops now. In a while, there will be another jidao turning to goodness to make desserts in Mika Town. Let me tell you, his strawberry pudding is really delicious. "

While listening to Yingsheng's words and flipping through the plan, Sonoko felt her head buzzing.

Is this still the cold, brutal and devilish gangster in the movies?
This this……

Isn't this a complete social animal?!
Sonoko finally couldn't help but say this, and Yingsheng nodded as if it was a matter of course, and asked back:

“Isn’t it good to be a corporate slave?”

"It's not that it's bad, it's just... well..."

Yingsheng shook his head: "Of course, the term "social animal" is not good. If you change it to office worker or white-collar worker, wouldn't it be much better? Except for those upper-level meat-eating leaders, who among the younger brothers who are not satisfied with their lives doesn't want to be a white-collar worker and raise their heads to start a new life.

Most of them are young and ignorant, starting as bad boys and stepping into this quagmire step by step, and there is no turning back. "

Yuanzi was silent for a moment, then asked with a strange look on his face: "How old are you this year?"

"…Just tell me if it's right or not."

"It's a good idea, but they have chosen this path, so they may not turn back."

"Ah."

Yingsheng sneered: "Chiyoko wants to end the family's inheritance of sin in her hands, and I want to help her. Those who are willing to change, we will give a chance, and those who refuse to change, hey, that's not up to them."

Yuanzi immediately became alert: "What do you want to do? You are not allowed to break the law."

"I've done so many illegal things, and you're telling me this." Yingsheng laughed, "But I really don't intend to go too far in this matter. Do you know what voluntary overtime is? Do you know what drug testing is? These are all within the scope of what the law allows."

“Alzheimer’s?”

Sonoko was shocked: "You want to conduct human experiments on that drug?!"

"I didn't say that. You just imagined it." Yingsheng took back his phone, quickly turned to the back of the plan, and pointed to the plan adjustment target. "See? In three years, I can beat even a stubborn donkey into submission."

He put away his phone: "You suddenly mentioned this, do you know what the meeting is like over there?"

Sonoko still had some doubt in her eyes, but when she thought about the fact that her father also took this matter very seriously and that Yingsheng would not do anything rash, she shook her head.

"I haven't paid attention. If there's no contact, then everything should be going well. If you want to know, I can ask for you."

"Then there is no need, I..."

"Long live!!!!!"

Suddenly, a tsunami-like cheering sounded in his ears, interrupting Yingsheng's words. He turned his head to look at the center of the venue. The second game of the semi-finals ended, and the winner was Wada Haruna.

The next final will be her battle against Xiaolan.

The two who had been cheering for the championship since the first day of the competition actually met in the finals, even though many people had previously expressed their disgust with their behavior, thinking that they were too arrogant and did not know how to be humble.

But now, in the face of facts and absolute strength, they had to admit it.

That's called self-confidence!

At the venue, Wada Haruna, who had not yet stepped down from the stage, looked at Xiaolan outside the venue, and there was fighting spirit in their eyes.

On the stands, the people from Teitan High School and Beido High School looked at each other and smiled.

It didn't take long before the final officially began. When the two bowed to each other, there was thunderous cheers from the stands.

"Yona! We will win!!!"

This is what Teitan High School shouted.

"Xiaolan! Awesome!!!"

This is what Beihu High School shouted.

The momentum of both sides was huge, and attracted many people who liked to have fun to come and cheer for them.

Some new audiences were completely confused. Did these two groups of people call the wrong target?

Click——!
The world froze and merged into Yingsheng's mobile phone. He looked at the wide screen, and the laughing crowd and the halo of angels were all in it. Xiaolan and Wada Haruna just took starting stances, looking at each other sharply.

Yingsheng nodded with satisfaction: "I have finally waited for this moment, not bad, not bad."

He turned his head and looked at the garden: "Is the villa ready? Everyone's enthusiasm is almost uncontrollable."

"Absolutely no problem. I already told them the day before yesterday and prepared a lot of food and drinks." Sonoko chuckled, "But there are not enough beds over there. Everyone will have to sleep in tents in the forest tonight."

Yingsheng was shocked: "Wow, you are so insidious, saying such a thing now."

"Humph!"

Sonoko smiled smugly: "Don't tell anyone else, I plan to make a surprise attack at night, maybe something interesting will happen."

"what--"

Yingsheng leaned back and said, "You guys are so promiscuous, so nasty."

"hateful!"

Yuanzi clenched his fist and said, "Don't think of weird things, you pervert!"

Yingsheng asked hurriedly: "If the two teams are combined, what is the ratio of men to women?"

Sonoko replied, "Six to four."

"You still say you're not sensual! You're a perverted nymphomaniac who has planned this all along!"

"!!!asshole!!!"

“Mercy! Mercy—!”

The two people off the stage fought each other, and the two people on the stage also fought each other.

Kyogoku Makoto looked at the match between Wada Haruna and Xiaolan, then looked at the fighting Hotaru and Sonoko, then looked at Xiaolan, whose movements were slow for a moment, and Wada Haruna, who was just a little bit away from hitting the target...

An idea suddenly occurred to Kyogoku Makoto.

Could it be...

Is Suigetsu-san testing Maori-san?

It takes courage to use the crucial final to test Maori's character.

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt his fist itching for some reason. Mizuki was definitely not an ordinary person. As expected, he still wanted to fight with him.

Another chance!

was avoided.

Kyogoku Makoto shook his head. Wada did not seize the great opportunity in these few seconds. The opponent's movements gradually became more agile and he no longer had any chance.

The final winner is unquestionable, BANG——!!!
The decisive punch is delivered, and the champion is!
"Mauri Ran!!!"

At that moment, the crowd was boiling with excitement. The momentum built up over the past few days burst out at this moment. The thunderous cheers and shouts shook every inch of the air. It simply shouldn't appear in a competition of this level.

For a moment, Xiaolan was inexplicably dazed.

The noises around her were so loud that she couldn't hear a single sound. She just tilted her head back and looked around.

It can be seen that almost everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy. Even if they had never met Xiaolan in the past, they were infected by the atmosphere at this moment. Even opponents from other schools were impressed by her strength. They looked helpless, but applauded her from the bottom of their hearts.

Finally, the figures of my parents passed through my sight.

Dad was sitting in a wheelchair, his hands in front of his face, cheering for her excitedly; Mom was standing in the aisle, clapping softly and nodding at her with a smile in her eyes.

For a moment, she even thought that her parents had reconciled.

But even then, she just smiled.

She won't be obsessed anymore.

Looking further away, she saw her classmates and friends from Teitan High School. When she made mistakes, did these guys still cheer for her?

Fortunately, the nearby Beihu High School is the same, otherwise it would be considered as breaking one's promise.

A little further away are the two protagonists who caused her mistake just now.

Mizuki-kun and Sonoko, the two of them are...

huh?

Bowing to her?
Haha, that is to say, it was intentional just now. It really makes me feel uncomfortable.

Only targeting Shuiyuejun.

Her eyes dropped down, and at the entrance of the venue, someone smiled at her and turned away.

Xiaolan smiled back. For some reason, at this moment she suddenly had a feeling that from now on, she would never see Shinichi again.

Maybe it's an illusion, but...

Goodbye, Shinichi.
