Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 326 Xiaolan: One wrong move and the whole game is lost? !

"Xue Song is faking her death again, right? This is the second time. How can she restore her true identity in the future?"

On the balcony of Ian Apartment 2602, Xiaolan lowered her brows, her eyes already showing a hint of coldness.

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the winery is completely wiped out."

On the other side of the phone, Yingsheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that this is the only way. Lan, ask Vermouth how he found Qingzi. This is very important."

Xiaolan agreed, put the call into the headset, and went to the master bedroom to ask Vermouth.

Vermouth didn't want to confess, but considering that Binga might also be caught, there was no point in her keeping silent, so she told the truth.

This is the prisoner's dilemma.

"Ocean buoy..."

When Yingsheng heard the name, he immediately searched for relevant information on the Internet.

I found that there were many reports three years ago saying that the facility was epoch-making and would be a powerful force in combating global crime.

There have been absolutely no related reports recently, probably because it has not yet been officially put into use.

"It's really frustrating that we were caught up with the beta version."

Yingsheng felt quite helpless. Technology is the key to success. It was not unfair at all that Qingzi was arrested this time.

As for the fact that Kiyoko did not hide in the hotel all the time but went out for a stroll around the area for a while, Yingsheng did not think it was her fault at all.

She is not a prisoner, why is she under house arrest?
Who would have thought that there is a Skynet above our heads?

Moreover, the police had not even used this technology to find her, but it was already used by the winery. It is really hard to evaluate.

Fortunately.

Although ocean buoys can track people of different ages, there is a possibility that Ai could be found.

But maybe it’s because she wears a baseball cap even when she goes out these days. Anyway, she hasn’t been discovered by the winery through the ocean buoy yet, so her face probably hasn’t been photographed.

Good luck.

Xiaolan continued to ask how Vermouth sneaked into and used the ocean buoy.

Vermouth did not hide anything about this and told everything. At the end, he added: "The sniper opposite the building was Binga. He is also Glass in the Ocean Buoy. He has been lurking in Interpol for a long time."

"The man with cornrows and sunglasses?"

Xiaolan asked the question that Yingsheng asked in the earphones.

Vermouth nodded: "It seems that he has been captured by you, Angel. He is also a strong code member. Who are your teammates?"

Xiaolan raised the corners of her lips slightly, but did not say anything.

However, the next second, her eyes suddenly became stern.

Because in the headset, Yingsheng sighed softly: "What a damn disguise, Lan, our troubles are not over yet."

Today, everything that happened to Qing Yanagi Chisou can be simply summarized as follows:
After Xiaolan came to her at noon to exchange secret signals, she gave Xiaolan a hidden headset.

All things are impermanent and there are no taboos.

This code was not only used by Xiaolan to confirm Aoyagi Chisou's identity at the time, but also used by Aoyagi Chisou to confirm Xiaolan's identity.

Both Aoyagi Chiso and Xiaolan knew that Kudo Shinichi asked Hotaru to monitor the area around Aoyagi Chiso in the morning and pay attention to whether there were any suspicious persons.

Therefore, when they saw "Kudo Shinichi" for the first time, they became suspicious of his identity.

Xiaolan handed in the paper early, and Kudo Shinichi caught up as expected.

What happened in the alley was just a play by Xiaolan and Chiso Aoyagi to test Shinichi Kudo.

Later, Xiaolan followed the fake Kudo to Ian's apartment, and Aoyagi Chiso naturally followed them to the nearby area.

Suddenly, a sniper rifle fired.

Aoyagi Chisou quickly determined the location, went upstairs, pried the lock with a thin wire, and fired a shot.

Binga was shot at least three times in the back and jumped off the balcony. Aoyagi Chisou was not in good physical condition and could only go downstairs by stairs.

After picking the lock and opening the door, Aoyagi Chiso found the body of a man lying on the floor in the living room. He had been shot three times in the back. He had golden cornrows, a black suit, and was wearing sunglasses.

On the sofa next to her, there was a woman lying down. She had semi-long black hair, red half-frame glasses, a long knife wound on her back, and her dark green shirt was completely stained with blood.

If that woman was awake, Qing Yanagi Chisou would definitely shoot her again.

But she had fainted at the time, so Qingliu Qiansu just stepped forward and confirmed the death of the person on the ground.

At the same time, Qingliu Qiansu also took notice of the documents on the coffee table.

Interpol, Glass.

If it is not necessary, do not add entities. Aoyagi Chiso had no intention of killing that woman in the first place, and after knowing that she was Interpol, she would certainly not do it.

Compared to the criminals in the winery, killing a policeman for no reason will only bring yourself more trouble.

Of course, she couldn't save anyone.

Judging from the situation at the time, the policewoman would not live long and would die from excessive blood loss.

After making sure that she had not left any traces, Aoyagi Chisou left the room, closed the door, went upstairs to pick up the sniper rifle that Binga had dropped, and continued to observe the movements in Ian's apartment.

Not long after, Xiaolan was hit by a club from Kil.

After making sure that Kiel had gone far away from Ian's apartment and even heard gunshots from behind, Aoyagi Chiso took off her earphones and aimed them at the speaker of her cell phone.

Heavy metal rock, maximum volume!
Xiaolan woke up quickly, her right ear was almost deaf. Aoyagi Chiso told her the current situation loudly, and everything after that was just watching Xiaolan's performance.

Rena Mizunashi is definitely no match for Xiaolan in a head-on confrontation, not to mention that she was deliberately plotting against her, so things have developed to this point.

Yingsheng told Xiaolan that Aoyagi Chisou was probably deceived, and couldn't help but sigh again. "Binga, this guy didn't even turn his head when he was shot, and jumped down directly, causing Chisou to not see his face. After falling downstairs, he disguised himself and the original owner in such a short time, and then stabbed himself in the back, and he really fainted. He is worthy of being a code member.

Capable and more courageous. "

After a burst of rapid footsteps, a few whispers of conversation were heard in Yingsheng's earphones.

"Do you think this incident is related to what happened at Ian's apartment across the street?"

"How should I know? Didn't the boss just notify Interpol? Let's wait and see."

"Do you think Glass can survive?"

"I'm fed up with it."

……

"I'm sorry, Hotaru."

Behind the door of the fire escape, Qing Yanagi Chisou, whose body had completely merged into the darkness, spoke softly.

"It's not your fault. If it were me in that situation, I would have done the same thing."

Yingsheng's words were by no means a consolation, but rather the truth. The main reason was that he had never thought that Binga would disguise himself.

"Lan, ask Vermouth, isn't this disguise a high-end skill? Why is it so common now?"

"..."

Xiaolan was feeling regretful for not getting rid of one more code member of the winery. After hearing Yingsheng's question, she became speechless again.

"If that's what you said, then the interrogator is equivalent to being able to disguise himself?"

Xiaolan naturally did not ask the question that might expose her shortcomings, but went into the living room to talk to Yingsheng.

Yingsheng nodded in agreement: "That's true. Although the image is fixed, it's still quite useful. Maybe if you use a disguise for a long time, you will become more proficient at it and evolve it to the level of changing clothes with one click."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "What should we do now? Is this a mistake and a complete loss for us?"

"Considering the worst-case scenario, Binga reported all the news to the winery before he fainted, including his private cooperation with Vermouth. All he saw was the conflict between you and Vermouth, and he didn't see Qian Su's appearance, so things weren't that bad."

Yingsheng looked at him subtly, and thought of a strange solution.

Xiaolan added: "The winery must have an undercover police officer, and they will probably know that I'm with another you."

“Yes, this is indeed a problem.”

Yingsheng sighed, "I've always thought that it would be troublesome to solve the problem of my clone ability. After all, after I knew that Vermouth had no direct contact with the winery, I wanted to hide her involvement in this matter from the winery.

However, now that Binga is here, Vermouth's existence can no longer be concealed, and things have become much simpler."

Xiaolan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You want the winery to think that Vermouth is the one who is in charge of all this, and I am just being used by her?"

"Correct, Xiaolan, you are indeed incredibly talented."

Yingsheng couldn't help but admire.

Xiaolan frowned slightly: "But I have already had a conflict with Vermouth, how can I be used by her again?"

"..."

Yingsheng was speechless. It seemed that even though Xiaolan was very talented, she still lacked experience.

Yingsheng said: "It's very simple. Just make it clear that Shuiyue Yingsheng sometimes dresses as a woman. Vermouth knew about this before and deceived you with it. She deceived the police, and you are in love, so it's normal for you to be deceived by her."

"???"

Several question marks popped up on Xiaolan's head: "You mean to let the winery think that in the past three hours, I was a foolish woman who was deceived and played some weird games with Vermouth?
how about you?
Firefly, you will become a pitiful creature in this way."

"...I don't think so."

Yingsheng also felt a little awkward, but still said: "Under such circumstances, you didn't realize she was a girl for nearly three hours, which means you didn't even make it to the last step. In the eyes of the police, you are an S, and if it gets to the ears of the winery...

Hmm...it should be OK."

"I think so. That means you are not sure either." Xiaolan said in a strange tone, "And the most important thing is you. After this incident, your reputation has been ruined no matter how you look at it. Women's clothing, M...

Oh my god, it seems to be the same here.

Hotaru, our lives are over."

Yingsheng tapped his forehead and gritted his teeth: "If you want to blame someone, blame the damn winery. Although their plan failed, they still caused huge casualties."

Xiaolan sighed softly, "I'm sorry, it was all my idea. Now that the police have witnessed the incident, there's no turning back."

"I can only say that it's a brilliant idea, Lan. Go find Vermouth."

Yingsheng put himself in Xiaolan's shoes and thought that if he were Xiaolan in that situation, he would have no better solution.

"so……"

Xiaolan said in a conflicted tone: "Do I need to wear men's clothes?"

"...Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary. Even if the winery and the police know about it, they are only a minority of people. Our daily lives will not be affected."

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'll hang up first and contact you later."

“Why did you hang up?”

“Because it’s too embarrassing.”

"..."

In Ian Apartment 2602, Xiaolan's cheeks flushed. She took two deep breaths and was about to walk towards the master bedroom when the hung up phone rang again.

She looked down and saw it was Kudo Shinichi.
