Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 353: Conan turns evil, and Xiaolan makes a move with white pieces!

It's a naked threat.

Yingsheng didn't care at all. While eating, he said casually: "Then I hope that in a few years, little Conan can become a little more obedient. Mr. Yusaku, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a father."

bang——

The door closed.

Kuroba Kaito said goodbye to Xiaolan and followed her out. Xiaolan was the only one left in the monitoring room.

Xiaolan's eyes showed worry, "Hina, provoking them like this won't do you any good."

No, it's very beneficial.

Yingsheng looked at the murderous intent in his heart and was quite satisfied. He thought how great it would be if everyone in the world wanted to kill him.

In that case, he might be able to ascend to heaven on the spot.

Yingsheng shook his head and smiled, "It was half a provocation, and half the truth. Amuro Toru, Vermouth, Gin, the police missed every opportunity, and finally put me, a person who exposed myself, in a mental hospital to show off. Do they think they are so powerful?"

"Speaking of this, the starting point should be the time at the Izakaya." Xiaolan sighed, "You told Kudo about the Institute there, and then he called you to the police hospital because of this matter. You told the police the truth there, but Vermouth found out and told the winery."

"That's it. I didn't expect the winery to be involved in so many things. I thought it was just a research laboratory with a Yakuza background. Isn't this very common in Japan?"

"Eh? Is that common?"

"The Yakuza are the black gloves of politicians. Otherwise, how do you think all those special laws were passed? This is a Japanese characteristic, unique in the world."

Yingsheng said sarcastically, then sighed.

"Kudo is such a scoundrel. He obviously has other ways to find a way out. Why does he keep staring at me all day long? Is he bullying an honest person?"

"Does he have other ways?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Of course there is, and the success rate is definitely higher than mine." Yingsheng curled his lips, "The first point is that Vermouth has feelings for him, and from Vermouth's perspective, there is a high probability that Kudo Shinichi does not know her true identity, but has a good impression of someone named 'Yuzuki Kiyoko'."

Xiaolan pondered and said, "From the email she sent to Kudo last Saturday, it may be true, but it is uncertain whether she knows more later. Hotaru, please continue with your method."

Yingsheng said casually: "It's very simple. Kudo knows how to disguise himself. He just needs to disguise others as Xuesong Qingzi, go to school and go home with her every day, and be affectionate with her. What do you think Vermouth would think if he knew about this?"

Xiaolan's eyes lit up, "She will think this is another guy with ulterior motives and will want to expose her!"

Yingsheng nodded, "Yes, I think at the beginning Vermouth will remind Kudo through anonymous phone calls or disguised as a stranger, but as long as Kudo keeps playing dumb and continues to maintain a close relationship with the fake Xuesong Kiyoko, it would be best if he can show some characteristics of being PUA. As long as Vermouth's feelings for Kudo are real, I don't believe she can hold back and will show up in person sooner or later."

"!!!"

In a lounge not far from the monitoring room, the surveillance footage was retrieved from the laptop again. Everyone who heard Yingsheng's words was shocked and looked at Kuroba Kaito.

They left the monitoring room one by one. On the one hand, they were speechless because of Yingsheng's criticism, and on the other hand, they wanted to see if Yingsheng would reveal something when he talked to his girlfriend alone.

Although Yingsheng did not tell them the information about the winery that they cared about most, it did provide them with an idea.

Under everyone's gaze, Kuroba Kaito said solemnly, "This method is indeed feasible, but I don't know how to disguise myself. I don't know why Suigetsu has such a misunderstanding."

"Brother Shinichi, you..."

Conan spoke hastily, but was stopped by a look from Kudo Yusaku. Seeing that others were also looking at him, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know anyone who can disguise himself?"

Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt that Conan's obsessive personality was indeed not that cute.

"I do not recognize."

Kuroba Kaito shook his head, "But the method Suigetsu mentioned is not limited to 'Yuzuki Kiyoko' alone. Or it's better not to be her, otherwise Vermouth will think of the disguise technique and suspect whether this is a trap for her."

Conan frowned, "But if we find someone else to do it, that would be a normal development of the relationship, and Vermouth might not come forward to remind us."

"Didn't Shuiyue say that, PUA, if that girl did that to you in public..."

Kuroba Kaito paused, suppressed his embarrassment and continued, "If she clearly wanted to hurt me, or even insult me ​​in public, Vermouth might still show up, but not on my side, but on that girl's side. Vermouth is a villain with blood on her hands, and she might kill that girl."

"That does not work."

After listening to what Kuroba Kaito said, Conan was thinking, and Matsumoto Kiyonaga spoke in a deep voice.

"Vermouth can disguise herself. It would be too easy for her to assassinate someone. Doing so would only cause innocent people to die in vain."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at the surveillance footage on his notebook with cold eyes, "The fact that he could come up with such an idea only shows that he is also an out-and-out villain and doesn't care about other people's lives at all."

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Conan, who was frowning in thought, and felt that what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said was a bit biased.

Yingsheng is now talking to Xiaolan about cat breeding, and the idea just now was naturally just a casual suggestion during a chat with his girlfriend.

Regardless of whether he could think so far ahead immediately, even if he could, he was not the executor, and the decision-making power of whether to execute it was not in his hands, which would make him a villain...

This is somewhat too arbitrary.

Kuroba Kaito knew that he was a latecomer and had no idea what evil things Hotaru had done before that made the police so hostile to him.

But from what he saw these past two days, well...

Difficult to comment.

In short, it seemed that it was Yingsheng who was always hurt, and he always remained gentle and polite.

Except for that moment just now, maybe he was really mad at the police as he said.

"Is there such a possibility?"

Conan suddenly spoke up: "Brother Shuiyue proposed this plan because he is sure that Vermouth is incapable of killing the bait? Everyone has seen the medical technology of the winery. It is incredibly powerful. As long as it is not a direct shot in the head, that person probably won't die."

With his own personal experience, plus what happened to Hotaru two hours ago, Conan now has no doubts about the technical capabilities of the winery.

I even thought that even if it was a headshot, there might still be a chance of saving the person.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga frowned and said, "But that kind of medicine requires a strong willpower, and according to what you overheard, Shuiyue Hotaru is using it for the first time today."

"Who knows if the three of them had already discovered the bug and were deliberately acting there." Conan sneered, "Given the abnormal relationship between the three, who knows..."

Snapped--!
Kuroba Kaito couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he patted Conan on the head and said with a smile: "Conan-kun, my dear brother, you should know the relationship between me and your sister Xiaolan."

He was reminding Conan that after all, he and Xiaolan were childhood sweethearts in the past, so how could he be so unscrupulous in making up stories about her now?

"I'm sorry, Shinichi-nii."

Conan said this, but he didn't mean to take it back. "But this is the fact. Suigetsu... no, Hotaru, he is extremely lacking in love and has a masochistic habit. Xiaolan is definitely aware of these things, but she didn't leave. And Gin, as a sadist, has developed a disgusting love for Hotaru!"

The bracelet on Hotaru's wrist can reflect Gin's emotions; after Gin's request, Xiaolan left without saying a word.

This is all evidence!
"And that's not all." Conan continued, "From what Gin said about his possible belief in Xuantian, the scriptures that Liuying kept reciting, and the Big Dipper drawn with blood in the ward, it is very likely that Liuying has developed a Stockholm complex towards Gin. I look forward to his arrival!"

Conan slapped Kuroba Kaito's hand away and looked up at him. "Isn't this kind of relationship between three people considered abnormal?"

Kuroba Kaito frowned slightly, "Didn't you hear what Xiaolan said? She is no match for Gin, and she is threatened by him with her family. What else can you ask her to do?"

"She can at least leave Liuying, then nothing will happen to her! Xiaolan..."

"Enough! Conan!" Kudo Yusaku also patted Conan's head, turned him to his side, and said in a deep voice:
"I know you are worried about your sister Xiaolan, but things have come to this point. Don't be childish, and don't take anything for granted. If you can't do it, get out now. This is an adult discussion."

It was rare to see his father so serious, Conan's eyes trembled slightly, he was silent for a moment, and finally said in a muffled voice:
"I just want to say that when Liuying talked about what happened just now, she might have subconsciously substituted the person in disguise for Sister Xiaolan. If it was her, she really wouldn't have to worry too much about Vermouth's assassination."

"You want Xiaolan to do this?" asked Kudo Yusaku.

Without waiting for Conan to answer, Kuroba Kaito interrupted, "That's impossible. Xiaolan has changed the way she addressed me before. She can't possibly cooperate with me in acting."

Conan said in a sad tone, "But if we can use this to capture Vermouth and get information from her to prove that Liuying is innocent, can't he leave the mental hospital one day earlier?"

Kuroba Kaito narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean, you want to use Suigetsu to threaten Xiaolan?"

"Of course not, this is just to find out the truth. Whether Xiaolan is willing or not is her own choice." Conan looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga, "And I'm just a child, I just put forward an idea, how to do it is up to you adults."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga pondered for a few breaths, "Based on the current situation, Mao Lilan may have also joined the winery. What if she tells Vermouth about this?"

Conan's lips curled slightly, "How serious is Liuying's mental problem?"

"I understand. This is indeed a feasible plan. Using criminals to fight criminals will not implicate innocent people." Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Kuroba Kaito, "I just don't know if Mr. Shinichi agrees to do this."

Kuroba Kaito's dissatisfaction with Conan's method was written all over his face, but he didn't care about being seen.

When asked this question, he simply grabbed Conan's collar and walked into another room.

"Conan, what are you thinking? Do you really think there's something wrong with Xiaolan?" asked Kaito Kuroba with a frown.

"You also heard what she did with Gin this afternoon. Do you think there's nothing wrong with her?" Conan asked back.

"She was threatened and had no choice at all."

"I feel like she hasn't thought about what choice to make. Being threatened is just an excuse."

Kuroba Kaito leaned forward slightly and stared into Conan's eyes, "Are you sure you're not turning hatred into love, or that your self-esteem was hit by Mizuki Hotaru, so you're looking for revenge?"

Conan looked him in the eye without hesitation, "I just want to find out the truth. There is definitely something wrong with these two people!"

The air in the room suddenly solidified, and the smell of disinfectant was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

Five seconds later, Kuroba Kaito stood up.

"What did Shuiyue Yingsheng do to make you so disgusted? Tell me everything, or I will leave immediately."

"it is good."

Conan said in a low voice, "First of all, he helped his neighbor kill his father..."

Conan started with the case of Masato Yukimatsu, then went on to Ginza, Kabukicho, and Tsuburaya-cho, one case after another. In Conan's words, Hotaru was guilty of a heinous crime.

After listening to the general situation, Kuroba Kaito felt that if these things were really as Conan said, then Hotaru was indeed not a good person.

but.

"Where's your evidence?"

Kuroba Kaito asked: "And why do you only talk about the bad things he did, and not the good things he did? Even I saw the incident of Tsukikage Island in the newspaper. And the most important point is, even if these things are true as you said, what does it have to do with Xiaolan?"

"Ran is very good at karate, and she is completely fascinated by Firefly. Do you think a villain like Firefly will not use her power?" Conan asked back.

"You just emphasized that there were two vigilantes in Kabukicho. I did hear that, but even if one of them was her, they only hurt the Nimuri Society and didn't kill anyone. Is that a crime?" Kuroba Kaito said, "Don't forget the Tsuburaya-cho case you emphasized where many police officers died. Ran was in Ebina City at the time."

"They also know how to disguise themselves. Who knows if the one in Ebina City is real?"

"Ah."

Kuroba Kaito ruffled Conan's hair, turned around and left, "I feel you are too extreme now, little detective, I don't agree with your logic, I'm leaving, I'll never see you again."

Conan stood still, "Lord Kidd, don't you still want to use the ocean buoy to find someone?"

They had already found out the secret of the police's powerful methods of finding people.

"You may think that you have the ability to disguise yourself and can easily sneak in, but I have to remind you that since the large-scale investigation of Ian's apartment, the existence of disguise is no longer a secret. All parties have increased their vigilance. Ocean Buoy is an organization that Interpol focuses on, and it is probably no exception."

"Ah?"

Kuroba Kaito turned around at the door and said, "Little detective, you don't look like a good person right now."

Conan smiled innocently like a child, "I don't mean anything else. I just think that your business is more important, Mr. Kidd. Now that Inspector Matsumoto has also gotten involved in this matter, if we can make him see hope, it's not impossible to go to the ocean buoy this afternoon or tomorrow."

Kuroba Kaito was silent for a moment, "If Xiaolan gets hurt, you have a great responsibility."

Conan nodded, "Yes, but the greater responsibility lies with Vermouth and Firefly."

"Are you absolutely sure of your reasoning?"

"Absolutely sure!"

"I understand." Kuroba Kaito opened the door and walked back. "I will only give you one chance to prove it to me. If you still can't find the evidence and are just imagining it, then you should stop being a detective and study hard in elementary school."

Conan quickly followed and said in a cute little voice, "I know, Shinichi-nii."

Ten minutes later, Xiaolan also sat in the lounge and listened to Matsumoto Kiyonaga tell the results of their discussion.

It is basically what Conan said before, but the police will also give her some training, including anti-tracking, toxicity testing, first aid knowledge and so on.

Xiaolan had a calm expression and remained silent.

Kuroba Kaito thought she felt the police were too mean, and he quickly spoke up, agreeing with her:
"When we're together in the future, I'll test any drinking water for poison once it leaves my sight. I'm also good at anti-tracking. If you agree, I can secretly guard around you when we're not together in the open."

Xiaolan shook her head slightly, "No, that might reveal a flaw, which would defeat the purpose."

Conan, who was about to speak, felt relieved and felt that Xiaolan had indeed grown up.

Although it is because it is stained by darkness.

"But there is one thing I need to apologize to you, Shinichi, in advance."

Xiaolan said: "Because a month ago, our relationship was very good, and basically I was the one pursuing you, and then I got together with Ying until now. If you pursue me now, you must make some big moves, otherwise others will not believe it."

"Um...like what?"

Kuroba Kaito felt that what Xiaolan said made sense, but if it went too far, he would also feel ashamed.

Xiaolan smiled and said, "For example, confessing to me in public on the school playground and asking for my forgiveness."

"hiss--!"

Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and suddenly began to suspect that this might be a trap set by Hotaru and Xiaolan, specifically waiting for him!

Kudo Shinichi was slow to respond to Xiaolan in the past, and now he keeps biting Hotaru, so the two of them deliberately set a trap and came up with this method to publicly humiliate Kudo Shinichi? !
But are you willing to risk your life just for something like this?
Is this too much of a joke?

While Kuroba Kaito was hesitating, Aoyagi Chiso's voice rang out from Xiaolan's hidden earphones:

"It is impossible for Vermouth to hurt you, Miss Lan. This will kill three birds with one stone."
