Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 357 Red Wedding, Yang Killing is done!

"Damn it! What are you trying to do to my daughter!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga punched the man in the white suit hard in the face, his face full of anger.

He had a vertical scar across his left eye, and looked ferocious to begin with. He was wearing a tight black suit, and looked more like a yakuza chopping people than a police officer from the Investigation Division.

The man in white suit flew backwards three meters and raised his upper body from the ground. The left half of his face was completely swollen and he was vomiting blood.

"Dad, what are you doing!"

Yuri Matsumoto yelled at her father and quickly ran to the fallen man in the white suit.

"Toshihiko, are you okay?"

"Don't go over there, Sayuri! This man is trying to poison you and kill you!"

"What?!!!"

Not only was Matsumoto Yuri's body frozen, but everyone else also cried out in shock and cast their eyes towards the man in the white suit who had fallen to the ground.

This person is Takasugi Toshihiko, the fiancé who is about to hold a wedding ceremony with Matsumoto Yuri!
He actually wanted to kill his wife at the wedding? !
"Dad, what are you talking about? How can this be possible?"

Matsumoto Yuri murmured absentmindedly, but she didn't even look at her father. She just kept staring at her fiancé on the ground.

Takasugi Toshihiko tilted his head slightly and didn't even look at her.

pat-

Matsumoto Yuri fell to the ground with her knees weak, and the corner of her white wedding dress was stained with the blood that Takasugi Toshihiko had vomited.

"Thank you both so much for this time."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Xiaolan and Haibara Ai who were standing together, bent down his tall figure and bowed deeply.

"If you hadn't discovered it in time, Sayuri would have been killed by the criminals today."

Xiaolan shook her head and said nothing.

Hearing the noise, Megure Juzo also ran over. When he saw the situation in the room, he hurriedly asked Matsumoto Kiyonaga what had just happened here.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga said in a deep voice: "Just now, Sayuri was chatting with her former student, and the beast Takasugi Toshihiko actually poisoned the lemon tea she drank. Thanks to Miss Lan who discovered the problem in time, replaced Sayuri's drink with a can, and asked her little sister to come out and call me, I learned about this."

"What? The drinks were changed?!"

This time, it was not the other listeners who were surprised, but Takasugi Toshihiko. He looked at the can of lemon tea with a straw on the table, and his face gradually distorted.

"I was wondering why you didn't react this whole time, so this is what happened!"

"So, you admit that you poisoned the patient?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga said in a cold voice.

Takasugi Toshihiko sneered, "If a guy like you who disregards life can continue to be a policeman, why shouldn't I dare to admit it. Moreover," he looked at the camera in Xiaolan's hand, "since Miss Lan found me, maybe she even filmed the process of me poisoning her."

Xiaolan shook her head. "Unfortunately, no. Mr. Matsumoto was chatting with me and Kudo at the time. I didn't take any photos at all. You took this opportunity to poison me."

Takasugi Toshihiko frowned, "Then how did you find out?"

"When sodium hydroxide dissolves in water, a large amount of heat is released, and a small amount of solvent evaporates with the solute, producing irritating gas." Xiaolan said, "Although it will no longer have an odor after it is completely dissolved, that moment is enough for people to notice it."

Xiaolan squeezed Xiaoai's hand and thought:
It was actually this side that saved the life. I did smell a little smell, but I had no idea what it was. However, Ai identified it immediately. She is indeed a genius scientist.

However, Ai didn't want to attract too much attention, so this matter was naturally taken over by Xiaolan.

Takasugi Toshihiko looked dejected. "So that's how it is. Haha, I saw on the Internet that sodium hydroxide is odorless. I guess I should experiment with it in advance."

"asshole!"

Hearing his words, Matsumoto Kiyonaga became furious and rushed forward and kicked Takasugi Toshihiko in the waist. With a "bang", he kicked the man directly onto the cabinet.

"Tell me! Why did you murder Sayuri!?"

Takasugi Toshihiko cried out in pain and huddled up on the ground, his face flushed red, like a cooked prawn.

However, instead of giving in, he spat out a mouthful of thick, bloody phlegm towards Matsumoto Kiyonaga with great effort, with a sneer on his face.

"Look at what you look like. You must have killed many innocent people over the years!"

"Damn bastard!"

Matsumoto Seiinaga strode forward, leaned over, grabbed Takasugi Toshihiko's hair, lifted him halfway, and then pressed his face.

Bang——! !

Slam it hard on the cabinet!
"explain!!!"

Takasugi Toshihiko's eyes were dazed and blood was flowing from his head, but he just laughed and said nothing.

When Matsumoto Kiyonaga saw him like this, he became furious and was about to smash his head against the cabinet again.

"Calm down! Alert! Please calm down!"

Megure Jusan didn't even bother using his cane, he quickly walked forward, and held Matsumoto Kiyonaga's hand tightly, sighing inwardly that the world is truly unpredictable.

I just came to attend the wedding of my boss's daughter, and I never thought that it would be involved in a murder case.

Fortunately, Xiaolan was there. Although the white wedding dress was stained with blood, the wedding did not turn into a funeral after all.

However, Inspector, your law enforcement method is a bit too violent. One punch and one kick can be said to be the father's loss of reason out of concern for his daughter, but if you continue like this, it will be hard to explain.

Megure Jusan whispered, "Officer, someone is filming here, be careful of getting complained about later."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga glanced sideways and saw that Xiaolan's camera was facing him. He weakened his strength and threw Takasugi Toshihiko to the center of the room.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I just found the glass bottle of sodium hydroxide in the trash can outside. There should be your fingerprints on it. And your own confession, all these together are enough to convict you.

Megure..."

"That's it."

Just as Matsumoto Kiyonaga was about to ask Megure Jusan to have someone arrest Takasugi Toshihiko, Matsumoto Yuri, who had been lying limp on the spot, suddenly spoke, her tone distant and sounding like a dream.

Everyone looked towards her, and heard:
"Dad, do you remember? Twenty years ago, when you were chasing a fugitive in your car, you accidentally hit a mother and her child. You were in a hurry to chase the criminal and didn't notice that there was someone under the car. The child asked you for help, but you told him to go away. Later, you learned that the lady had unfortunately died. When you wanted to find them for compensation, you found that they had moved away..."

"what?!"

"how come?!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Takasugi Toshihiko spoke at the same time, both with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Are you that kid?!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Takasugi Toshihiko.

But Takasugi Toshihiko stared at Matsumoto Yuri, his face trembling, "How do you know this? You are with me, aren't you coveting the Takasugi family's wealth?!"

"idiot!"

The woman in the purple suit standing nearby couldn't help but step forward, pointed at Takasugi Toshihiko and shouted angrily: "Don't you understand when you see Sayuri's lemon tea? Do you know? You are Sayuri's first love that she has been missing for twenty years!"

“No… Impossible!!”

Takasugi Toshihiko was shocked, and when he saw the sorrow in Matsumoto Yuri's eyes, pain finally appeared on his face.

The woman in the purple suit continued to talk, and everyone finally pieced together the truth of what happened that year.

Twenty years ago, Takasugi Toshihiko did not have the name he has now. He and Matsumoto Yuri could be considered childhood sweethearts. Their relationship began when Matsumoto Yuri was bullied and Takasugi Toshihiko gave her warm lemon tea to comfort her.

The good times didn't last long, and then Matsumoto Kiyonaga chased the criminal, and the criminal ran over and killed Takasugi Toshihiko's mother.

When he grew up, Takasugi Toshihiko had forgotten that Matsumoto Yuri was his childhood sweetheart. He wanted to seek revenge on Matsumoto Kiyonaga, so he deliberately approached his daughter and poisoned her at her wedding.

"Then why didn't you kill me? Instead, you poisoned Sayuri?"

After understanding the whole situation, Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked in a cold voice.

Takasugi Toshihiko sneered, "If you died, how could you experience the sorrow of losing a loved one? The mother you killed back then was my only relative!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga remained silent.

Matsumoto Yuri's eyes trembled, "Toshihiko, are you approaching me just for revenge?"

At this moment, Gao Shanjunyan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, but he still gritted his teeth and said coldly: "That's right!"

"Then... have you ever loved me? Even... just a little, just for a moment."

"No, never!"

"That's it..."

Matsumoto Yuri's eyes dimmed and she slowly lowered her head.

Megure Juzo sighed deeply, turned around and walked out the door, intending to leave all the matters here to the Matsumoto family to deal with themselves.

Ok……

It seemed that even if a criminal case was filed, with his superiors present, he would not have the first command. Xiaolan, Kuroba Kaito and the others also walked out and closed the door, leaving only Matsumoto and his daughter and Takasugi Toshihiko in the room.

"Xiaolan, this time it's all thanks to you."

After what had just happened, the atmosphere in the corridor was quite depressing, and Megure Jusan spoke first.

Xiaolan raised the camera and smiled, "Officer Megure, compared to Hotaru, I think the mental problems here are more serious, and they are the kind with violent tendencies."

"Forehead……"

Megure Jusan scratched his head and looked down at Huihara Ai, "Who is this little girl? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Xiaolan pouted and didn't talk to him. She looked at the woman in the purple suit.

"Ms. Yimei, the ceremony time has arrived. No matter what the discussion inside has, they can't go there now. You have been helping here and are familiar with this wedding. Please go over and appease the guests and don't tell the truth."

Yimei was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, took the tissue handed to her by Xiaolan, wiped her tears, and walked towards the front hall.

Yuanzi's eyes were filled with surprise, "Xiaolan, you have considered everything very carefully."

Xiaolan shook her head. "That's not thoughtful at all. Judging from their previous behavior, if the conflict hadn't escalated to this point, it's possible that they could have reconciled. Unfortunately, after Inspector Matsumoto's violent law enforcement, this possibility probably no longer exists. I should have stopped him in time."

Megure Jusan looked embarrassed. "Superintendent Matsumoto is not usually so impulsive. Maybe he didn't get enough rest these days and he loves his daughter too much."

"Oh?"

Xiaolan glanced at him and said, "You don't even know what kind of person your daughter's fiancé is. Officer Megure, you call this love?"

"…Inspector Matsumoto is too focused on his work."

"Then may I ask, have the three escaped members of the Italian robber gang been caught? I saw on the news that the Japanese weapons depot was robbed yesterday evening. Have the criminals been found?"

"This... is currently under investigation..."

Megure Jusan suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Xiaolan, you and brother Shuiyue have also set up a detective agency, how about the police entrusting you to assist in investigating these two cases? It's paid!"

"..."

Xiaolan admired Megure Jusan's imagination and gave him a thumbs up, "But I am the only operational member in our firm right now, so I am afraid I am not capable enough."

Megure Jusan knew what she was referring to, but he had neither the authority nor the intention to release Hotaru, so he just pretended not to hear it.

Sonoko, who was listening in, poked her head in, her eyes eager to try, "Xiaolan, you've become a detective too? Let me join the agency too!"

Xiaolan was quite speechless. There were undercurrents among the people present, and only Sonoko didn't understand the situation.

"Hehe, if you don't say anything, it means you agree."

Sonoko took Xiaolan's hand and turned to look at Megure Jusan, "Officer Megure, please send the information to me immediately. I will personally investigate and get to the bottom of it!"

Megure Jusan was stunned for two seconds, then his face turned serious. "Okay, I'll send the information to your office email address later!"

"YES!"

Sonoko clenched her fists excitedly.

Xiaolan rolled her eyes at her silly best friend but didn't say anything. She just planned to pretend she didn't see the email after receiving it.

The police obviously thought that she could use the power of the winery, or even that these things were related to the winery, so they entrusted her to investigate. It was impossible for Xiaolan to do such a weird thing.

Conan suddenly spoke up: "How did Sister Xiaolan know about the pungent smell of sodium hydroxide when it melts?"

Xiaolan chuckled, "Does the little detective think that I have used it too? Can't I have a little common sense?"

Conan smiled awkwardly, "I just think Sister Xiaolan is so amazing..."

"don't want!!!"

Suddenly a loud shout came from inside the lounge door. It was the heart-wrenching voice of Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

Kuroba Kaito was standing closest to the door, and he immediately rushed in. He saw a golden candlestick shining with a sharp light under the sunlight, and it was about to touch Matsumoto Yuri's throat!
Before he could even think of anything, Kuroba Kaito subconsciously touched his waist and found the poker gun in his hand.

puff--!
In a flash, a magic playing card had separated gold and jade, cutting off the spikes of the candlestick!
However, perhaps because she was so disheartened, even if the thornless candlestick hit her throat, Matsumoto Yuri's body went limp and she fell to the ground sideways.

Kuroba Kaito felt relieved. This was a good thing. He no longer had to worry about the opponent committing suicide a second time.

"Sayuri!!!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who was rushing towards Matsumoto Yuri, roared again, his eyes red as blood.

Kuroba Kaito discovered that from Matsumoto Kiyonaga's angle he couldn't see that his daughter was not dead, but he didn't care much because he discovered it the next second anyway.

He just felt an unbelievable gaze beside him, silently retracted the poker gun, and turned to look.

"Lord Kidd, I'm your fan!"

Suzuki Sonoko pounced on Kuroba Kaito.

Seeing the fanatical eyes, Kuroba Kaito quickly dodged, "This is just the same style as mine, Sonoko, wake up, I'm Kudo Shinichi..."

"Asshole! Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stopped half a meter away from his daughter, turned around to look at Takasugi Toshihiko who was slumped on the ground, and roared softly like a wounded beast.

Kuroba Kaito realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted at him: "Inspector Matsumoto! Your daughter is not dead!"

But Matsumoto Kiyonaga seemed to have lost all his mind and was not going to listen at all. He took three steps and half a step, rushed in front of Takasugi Toshihiko in an instant, and raised his fist as big as a sandbag.

With a loud bang, it fell down heavily!

In Takasugi Toshihiko's mind, countless drum music suddenly sounded, making a loud noise, like a huge water and land dojo.

The holy white color that he saw in his eyes was instantly soaked with blood, and then yellow, blue, purple, and colorful colors rushed out, filling his entire sight and even his entire consciousness.

At this moment, the grappling hook shot out by Kuroba Kaito had just entangled Matsumoto Kiyonaga's arm!

There was another problem, he couldn't pull it at all!

Bang-!
Bang——! !

Bang——! ! !
Matsumoto Kiyonaga kept hitting down with punch after punch, and Takasugi Toshihiko's face turned into a bloody mess in an instant.

"Xiaolan, help me!"

Kuroba Kaito quickly asked for help, he knew that this person was a strong man.

Xiaolan did not go forward, but just stood there with the camera pointed at Matsumoto Kiyonaga and continued recording.

"The man was already dead with his first punch. Kudo, give up. He's not in the right state. It's best to let him vent his anger. Be careful not to affect you."

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a second, then he really retracted the grappling hook, looked at the bloody scene with a complicated expression, and turned to look at Xiaolan.

"You are really amazing. You can stay so calm at a time like this..." He paused, "Sorry, I'm not saying you are cold-blooded. You are really amazing."

"Take a deep breath. You're already a little incoherent."

Xiaolan glanced at the white wedding dress spread out by the window and said, "Go and get Teacher Matsumoto out. It would be best if you can help her clean the bloodstains on the wedding dress."

Kuroba Kaito nodded, immediately walked over and gently picked up Matsumoto Yuri, taking her away from this dangerous place.

Yuri Matsumoto did not completely faint. She only had a slit of vision and vaguely saw her first childhood love walking towards her in the gentle sunlight outside the window.

"You came……"

she murmured.

Kuroba Kaito had talked with Matsumoto Yuri before and knew that he looked very similar to her first love.

Although he felt that the similarity was just average, he still responded softly in order to comfort Matsumoto Yuri, who was definitely suffering from a huge psychological trauma.

"Well, I'm here."

Matsumoto Yuri smiled and finally lost consciousness.

Kuroba Kaito carried the person out of the room, and while waiting for the ambulance, he used hydrogen peroxide to clean the blood stains on Matsumoto Yuri's wedding dress, so that at least when she left the church, her dress would still be pure white and not stained by blood.

When Kuroba Kaito returned to the lounge, he saw Xiaolan pinning Matsumoto Kiyonaga to the ground and beating him until he fainted.

Kuroba Kaito showed admiration in his eyes and thought: Miss Lan is indeed a treasure girl.

……

……

Rice Flower Psychiatric Hospital, inside the orange soft bag.

Yingsheng, who was watching a children's animation, felt something in his heart.
