Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 285 Yingsheng decided to have some fun and escape at the same time!

First, human ingenuity has its limits.

Secondly, the system collects [love] and [murderous intent], has basic authenticity requirements, and will also give discounts based on the authenticity ratio.

After fully understanding these two points, Yingsheng, who had been in a groping state for nearly a month, finally determined the future path.

He has to have some fun.

That is to say: he had to make everyone guess that there was something wrong with him, so that they could clearly direct the murderous intent toward him, but without any concrete evidence, there was nothing they could do to him.

The degree of this needs to be well grasped, but Yingsheng feels that he is not so bad as to fail immediately.

Toru Amuro, Kenta Nakamichi, Shinichi Kudo.

The three of them are still alive because of this.

The same thing happened when he took Qingzi out shopping at noon today, for the same reason he told Qingzi.

There was no need for him to hide his head and show his tail. If he pursued absolute invisibility and delayed the acquisition of [love] and [murderous intent], it would be a loss.

The plan can certainly go ahead by letting Kiyoko replace Vermouth.

But it still makes her completely hidden in the dark, looking pitiful and unhappy, so forget it.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yingsheng began to ponder what might happen next.

Of course, Hotaru has no control over what will happen to Souho-cho, Toru Amuro, and Vermouth.

But both Kiyoko and Vermouth had undergone physical examinations at the Beika Central Hospital; after Vermouth disguised herself as Chiso Aoyagi, she called Kenta Nakamichi without knowing the situation; Kenta Nakamichi knew "what should have happened" this Wednesday afternoon.

Yingsheng was fully aware of these things.

Guess one: When Kudo Shinichi cannot find any trace of Yuzuki Kiyoko, he will go and ask Aoyagi Chiso.

"I'll leave it to you to monitor that side, Hope."

Yingsheng said this at four o'clock this afternoon. There were dead bodies outside the gymnasium and a gunfight had broken out in Shuangbao Town, but the karate competition had not yet ended.

After he and Kiyoko appeared at the same time and the important involvement of Kiyoko was exposed, it was obvious that he was taken away by the police for investigation.

Of course he would arrange everything in advance.

"I'm sorry, big brother. I really, really want to kill you right now. Is it too late?"

Huaying Xiwang's tone sounded quite lost.

Yingsheng laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am very greedy. If I have one, I will pursue two. If I have two, I will pursue three. It will never end. Okay, continue to listen to me. If Kudo Shinichi went to Aoyagi Chisou, what are the possibilities of how things will develop."

Time passes.

After all, Hotaru is not omniscient, and he could not predict in advance that Vermouth would disguise herself as Sato Miwako and then be forcibly abducted by Amuro Toru.

But as far as his target - seriously suspected by all parties but impossible to completely identify - was concerned, such things did not matter.

The aspects he exposed to the winery and Kudo Shinichi were completely different. As long as these two parties could not complete the information exchange, he would be fine.

To achieve this goal, in the long run, Kudo Shinichi has to die.

Although it was a pity, since this detective had never given him any intention to kill, there would be no loss if he died.

Of course, he absolutely cannot do it himself, and there cannot be any clear relationship with him.

After all, Xiaolan will pay attention to this side.

If we want to put an end to today's farce, we can only cut off the other most likely connection node, the one between Kudo Shinichi and the winery.

Belmode.

This guy seems to really have a crush on Kudo Shinichi, which is strange, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, she is most likely dead in the eyes of the winery, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she died.

Yingsheng was very envious of her disguise skills, but this kind of thing can't just be passed on by word of mouth and can't be learned only from her. The traditional master-disciple relationship has long been out of date.

Science and technology will always be the primary productive force.

The half human skin mask obtained from Itakura Taku's face had already been sent to a professional institution for testing by Yingsheng. Together with the first mask obtained in Kabukicho, the two material composition reports were compared, and the approximate composition ratio of the human skin mask was revealed.

Yingsheng has now commissioned a biochemical materials research laboratory to try to reproduce that material.

With the help of supercomputing, it will be easy to do it later.

Once this most critical piece of the puzzle is solved, the rest are just details.

To be honest, Yingsheng felt that even if Vermouth hadn't pointed him in a clear direction, if he had ideas in this regard, he would be able to develop it on his own sooner or later.

Anyway, that's it.

Following Yingsheng's will, Huaying hopes to start taking action in secret.

The dark alley behind Taian Apartment has actually been under the gaze of a pair of dark red pupils.

She installed a locator on the suspicious white Mazda. After watching the show, Huaying followed the instructions on her mobile phone and drove to Tsuburaya Town.

She is nineteen years old and has a valid driver's license.

Shortly after arriving at the vicinity of the suspicious villa, the signal of another locator came online on the mobile phone.

Huaying looked at the starting point and route of the locator and confirmed that this step was just as Yingsheng expected. Kudo Shinichi took a police car to the Beika Central Hospital and was planted with a locator by someone who had been waiting there early.

After taking a look at the weather forecast, Huaying raised her palm and felt it carefully.

The weather forecast was quite accurate, it was a south wind.

So if you want Kudo Shinichi to survive and witness the death of everyone with his own eyes to see if he can provide the killing intent for his big brother, the direction you choose is the south.

Huaying wanted to turn around and look, and there happened to be a few low residential buildings that met the requirements.

Taking out a stack of notes from her little red and black skirt, Huaying walked towards her chosen target.

[What exactly do you want, Kudo-kun? ]

The handwriting on the first note was beautiful, but Huaying pouted in displeasure after seeing it.

Xuesong Qingzi was unhappy that her elder brother had hidden the existence of this person from her for so long.

very unhappy!
I really want to kill these bad women who are harassing my big brother. There are not many of them, just a few.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find Xuesong Kiyoko at all. The handover of the notes, special grenades, and the dress used as bait was all completed in the locker of the mall, and the two of them did not meet.

hateful!

The elder brother must be on guard against her. He actually doesn't trust her and is angry!

[The sea of ​​suffering is endless, turn back and you will find the shore, Kudo. 】

Turning the page, the second page was signed in sloppy handwriting, which at first glance had a bit of the style of Yingsheng's scribbling.

Huaying hoped to be even angrier.

That woman not only imitated the elder brother's tone, but also imitated his handwriting? !

Aaaaaaaa——!
Irritability!

Turning to the third page of the note, there was a simple smiley face.

【^_^】

Huaying hoped to hum softly, turned to the next page, took out a red pen, and left her own words on the blank space.

[Congratulations, great detective, you have passed the level. ]

Turn to the next page.

[Now, go to the balcony and look in the direction of the villa. ]

The hour hand of the clock jumped slightly. Kudo Shinichi had already followed the clues on the balcony and ran to the fourth floor of the residential building, where he saw the third pink note.

The other party's mysterious tactics made him a little confused, and at the same time, some doubts arose in his heart.

Qingzi should be eager to escape now, why would she waste time leaving a note?

Moreover, the balcony faces the villa, where there are many policemen. Didn't any of them see such an obvious action of someone jumping off the balcony?
With all kinds of thoughts surging in his mind, Kudo Shinichi still walked to the balcony and looked forward.

Not only because of what was written on the note, but also because he still needed to continue looking for clues.

The sight passed through a row of green trees around and looked down at the interior of the villa area. It was calm and peaceful. I don't know how much explosives the hidden people used. There were basically only ruins left there.

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head and turned to the next page of the note.

【BOOMMMMMM!!!】

BOOMMM——!!!
It was as if the characters on the note suddenly jumped out of the paper and turned into reality. Kudo Shinichi only felt a huge wave of air rushing from the front. His head involuntarily tilted back and his eardrums vibrated and roared wildly!

I saw a huge ball of fireworks exploding in the air between where he was and the villa area!

In mid-air?

The detective's reason quickly suppressed the shock in his heart, and a doubt instantly arose in Kudo Shinichi's mind.

What is frying?
Could it be that the hidden person made a mistake?

Other people, near and far, also had similar doubts and didn't know what was going on.

Only one person who was watching from the dark turned pale instantly. "Run! Bourbon! It's poisonous dust!!!"

A host and reporter for Nichimi TV, codename Kiel of the winery, and a CIA agent, Rena Mizunoshi, whose real name is Hondou Eikai, is very beautiful with a pair of bright blue cat eyes.

But when she shouted this sentence loudly, her pale face was full of fear and even her pupils were trembling slightly.

The horrific scene from last night reappeared in my mind, the violent coughing and gasping of my companions, the endless screams, and what happened afterwards...

A dead silence!
The misty moonlight brought the shadow of death and overturned all the colors and sounds in the world!

All I saw was gray and white, then snap!
Mizuno Rena's knees weakened and she fell to the ground.

There was no focus in her pupils, and what she saw was the long-lost figure of her father.

Was the world like this when her father died for her?

Fortunately, because of the constant encouragement from her superiors in the headphones, telling her to remember her father's sacrifice and to live with her companions, she gritted her teeth and pulled herself together after a brief loss of consciousness, and drove away from there with Toru Amuro.

The air in the carriage was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made her feel nauseous.

If she hadn't happened to take Toru Amuro away from that area, she would have definitely been one of the victims!
The moon set and the sun rose, but only a dozen hours had passed. Looking at the fireworks exploding in the sky, the sun's shadow, which was not very bright to begin with, had turned into the moon's shadow in Mizuno Rena's eyes, and the world was suddenly pulled back to the early morning of this morning.

The shadow of death was about to approach, and she shouted out without hesitation.

In the ruins of the villa area, Toru Amuro's pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted without thinking.

"Everyone stand back! The air is poisonous!"

After shouting, Toru Amuro quickly sent an email to Yuya Kazami, asking him to contact his superiors immediately. At the same time, he held his breath, jumped out from behind a broken wall carrying Vermouth, and ran wildly towards the exploded residential building in the south.

As soon as Rena Mizunashi said the word "dust", and thinking that the explosion happened in the sky, Toru Amuro immediately deduced that the other side was taking advantage of the wind direction.

At this time, the sky was overcast and it was about to rain, and the south wind was blowing very fast. If you want to escape this poisonous wind and survive, you must go against the wind and jump over the source!
"Found the target, aim!"

The police surrounding the villa remained on high alert and immediately raised their guns when they spotted Toru Amuro rushing out of the ruins.

But Toru Amuro is still wearing the skin of Miwako Sato, and is carrying an unidentified "hostage" on his shoulder. After all, no one fired the first shot.

"You have been surrounded, with no way to escape. Put down your weapons and hostages and surrender immediately!"

It is natural to call for surrender.

It's natural that no one cares about what Toru Amuro said!

Toru Amuro did not respond at all, but just ran wildly, his heart and lungs pounding as if they were about to explode, and his face turned red due to lack of oxygen.

"What the hell are you doing? Sato!"

On the fourth floor of the residential building in front, Megure Juzo raised the gun with both hands and tried his best to aim at Amuro Toru's legs. When he shouted but got no response, he gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger.

The guy who disguised himself as Sato just now did speak with a male voice, right?

And he had heard that male voice before, it was Toru Amuro!
It’s the extremely evil Toru Amuro!
boom--!
The sound of gunfire shook the air!

In an instant, the bullet hit the ground.

Megure Juzo's attack intention was too obvious, and the power of the police revolver was too weak, so Toru Amuro, who had a combat power of A, could of course easily avoid it.

But this seemed like some kind of signal, and with it as the starting point, the policemen aiming at Toru Amuro finally opened fire.

Bang bang——!
The sound of gunfire rang in his ears, and Amuro Toru's whole body tensed up. He was not wearing a bulletproof vest, and he would definitely be shot to pieces facing the hail of bullets from a group of policemen.

At the same time, he inexplicably felt a sense of doubt in his heart, but also a little relieved.

Is the so-called toxic dust just a lie?
It's great that other people didn't have to die...

"what--!!!"

A shrill scream suddenly sounded from nearby, interrupting Toru Amuro's thoughts. He turned his head quickly and saw the young policeman, his face as red as fire, his gun fell to the ground with a "click", and his hands tightly covering his throat.

More screams rang out one after another, and the already sparse gunfire had completely stopped.

This is definitely a good thing for Bourbon.

But for Rei Furiya, his heart was being cut into pieces and bleeding!

Perhaps it was because there was a clear case before them, or perhaps it was because Yuya Kazami was able to quickly make the contact, the surrounding police finally dispersed.

"Run to the sides! Don't run with the wind!!!"

On the upper floor of the residential building, Kudo Shinichi held the balcony railing tightly with both hands and shouted loudly.

His voice was transmitted to Matsumoto Kiyonaga's ears through Megure Jusan's headset, asking him to immediately open direct communication with everyone and convey the order.

By the way, hold your breath.

Because of Toru Amuro's warning regardless of the risks, and because Shinichi Kudo immediately deduced the wind direction factor from Toru Amuro's behavior, perhaps some people could have been saved.

However, those who were closest to the explosion no longer had that opportunity.

Their lives, accompanied by their last cicada chirps, are rushing towards the increasingly gloomy summer sky.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"

Witnessing so many lives passing away before my eyes, such a painful death as if being burned in flames!

Kudo Shinichi's eyes were bloodshot and anger almost burst out of his pupils!

He saw hell!
The crumpled note in his right palm felt a slight touch, and for the first time in his life, Kudo Shinichi had the desire to kill someone. And for the first time, the desire was so strong and intense that it was finally and clearly projected onto someone.

Water, moon, fireflies are born!

This scumbag!

This bastard!

The mastermind behind all this!

Damn it!!!!
Kudo Shinichi forced himself to look away, and turned to look at Mimu Jusan beside him with trembling body.

That was not trembling from fear, but from anger so strong that it could not be suppressed!
"Send Mizuki Hotosei to prison immediately! He must be punished!"

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and was about to say this.

But before he could speak, another person's voice suddenly rang out from the balcony:
"Aren't you going to chase after Amuro Toru and Yuzuki Kiyoko? They're almost running away."

"!!!!!!"

Megure Jusan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned around to empty the magazine towards the source of the sound.

"Wait a moment!"

Kudo Shinichi quickly held him down and turned to look to the right. In the corner of the balcony, there was a big white teddy bear lying on its side. The sound came from it, and just like in the cartoon, it was the sound of a teddy bear.

"Don't shoot at them, or you won't be able to gather intelligence."

Teddy Bear laughed.

Megure Jusan vaguely saw that the corners of the stuffed toy's mouth in the shadow kept rising, gradually grinning to its ears. It opened its blood-red pupils and showed him and the world an innocent, yet cruel and hideous laugh!
Megure Jusan shuddered suddenly, walked to the teddy bear with a grim face, tore open its head, and took out a red mobile phone from the snow-white cotton.

During this process, Teddy Bear gave another reminder.

"Amuro Toru has teammates to reinforce him. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late. The police won't let them get away again."

Its voice was also heard by Matsumoto Kiyonaga on the other end of the line, who said in a deep voice: "I have sent people to chase after him and find out where this person came from."

Megure Juzo nodded, but before he could say anything, Kudo Shinichi next to him asked anxiously.

"You said Aoyagi Chiso is Yuzuki Kiyoko?! Why? What's the evidence?"

"Ah, Mr. Detective, have you really fallen in love with her? Even with the facts before your eyes, you still don't want to believe that she would be so cruel as to wipe out the Qingliu family? But in fact, her true face is ten thousand times worse than you think."

Teddy Bear's voice was full of amusement.

Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and blood oozed from his palms.

"Speak of the evidence, and I will judge for myself."

His voice was so cold that it almost turned the ground into frost. "Besides, who are you? You are hiding your true self and dare not even let out your real voice?"

"Hehehe, I'm just a teddy bear. I don't know what you're talking about."

On the balcony of a tall building in the distance, Huaying Xiwang looked through the telescope with one eye, chewing a red apple and casually said, "Xedon Kiyoko is a code member of the winery. Her name is Vermouth, the famous Thousand-Faced Witch. Have you heard of her, Mr. Detective?"

Without waiting for Kudo Shinichi to answer, she continued: "Anyway, now you know it, and there is also an obvious fact, she can disguise herself.

I don't know why, but this cold-blooded animal seems to have really developed a crush on you. It calls you Cool Guy and almost starts a relationship with you.

She and Miyano Shiho from the winery were sworn enemies. On Friday night, she almost killed the latter, but we rushed there in time and rescued her.

I know that you and the brewery both think that she betrayed the organization and helped Ms. Shiho escape from the institute.

But in fact, it was due to this misunderstanding by chance that she was forced to betray the winery.

After that, we have to talk about her special alliance with Amuro Toru. The connection between these two is much closer than you think..."

"Wait a moment!"

Kudo Shinichi interrupted with a gloomy look: "Where is Mizuki Hotaru? What role does he play?"
