Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 47 Can love be transferred?
what……

Is it over?
Yingsheng smiled lightly and deleted the email, the death notice sent by Xuesong Qingzi!
[Killing Intent +1]

For someone like her, even if she really stepped into the trap set by Yingsheng step by step, there was no way she would commit suicide.

What's more, she had the upper hand.

At least for now.

Putting away the phone, Yingsheng raised his right hand and placed it on his heart, feeling it quietly for a while.

There must be some feelings here, right?
Since the death of Masato Yukimatsu, Yingsheng's core goal has never changed.

Love.

This is the only thing he is pursuing and caring about in this world.

For this reason, the superficial purpose, the direction of pursuit, the experimental object, etc., are all unimportant.

For example, on a whim, he removed the obstacles that prevented a beautiful orchid from being unique and even blooming brilliantly; for another example, in order to verify the judgment mechanism of love, he pushed Xuesong Qingzi into the abyss.

Although it seems that everything has failed.

But this is not important.

Until the last second, who knows what the ending will be.

Yingsheng threw the newspaper into the trash can next to him, stretched, and stood up.

"It's just half past eight now. Do you want to go home?"

"Eh?"

Xiaolan looked up in confusion: "Is Shuiyue-kun expressing his dissatisfaction with me directly again?"

"No, it's just that I had a comprehensive physical examination at another research institute in Beika Town at 7 o'clock this morning, and then went out with Miss Shirley to relax. In the afternoon, there were various sports tests, and finally a second physical examination and blood test to end. I am a little exhausted."

Yingsheng looked apologetic and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry that I couldn't spend a wonderful night with you."

Xiaolan was slightly stunned, and quickly stood up and waved her hands: "That's not the case at all. I'm already very happy today, and I'm very grateful to Shuiyue-kun. Well, I'll go get a taxi now, Shuiyue-kun, please sit here for a while... By the way, do you need some chocolate?"

I'm becoming a little incoherent.

Yingsheng shook his head and laughed: "I'm not that weak, let's go to the taxi in front and wait."

Xiaolan quickly stretched out her empty left hand again: "In that case, at least let me carry the things."

"Thank you, but there are some secrets hidden in this, so it won't work." Yingsheng took the lead and said with a smile: "It's mainly mental fatigue. As for the body, it's probably still 10% of its power."

Xiaolan quickly followed: "Are our two copies different?"

"You are mainly preparing for the competition next Friday, and I am more interested in steadily improving my physical fitness. The ingredients and supplements prepared by Miss Shirley are of course different. Not to mention that I am still a guinea pig, and there are some more dangerous things in it."

"Guinea pigs or something... That's probably why Suigetsu-kun is in such a bad mood. Can't you refuse? Miss Shirley..."

"It's none of her business. To be honest, I think everything is OK at the institute. Although my first impression of them was not very good, I later found that they are all easy to get along with... No, no, they are extremely evil people. Xiaolan, you must be vigilant against them."

"..."

Xiaolan always felt that something was strange, but she had no idea what to say. Besides, if it was not a problem here, then what was Suigetsu-kun worried about?

The answer seems obvious: it's a problem in her family.

Shuiyuejun cared about her so much, but she let him down twice and had no idea how to repay him.

Is she that bad?
"By the way, Xiaolan, do you still remember Tojo Shuntatsu?" While waiting in line for a taxi at the designated spot, Yingsheng suddenly spoke up, "He's the homeless man I met in Beika Central Park, who was separated from his wife and children by loan sharks."

Xiaolan nodded quickly, her eyes full of expectation: "Suiyue-kun, is there anything you need me to do?"

Yingsheng smiled and said, "The main reason is that he lives in the park now. I guess he rarely reads newspapers and may not know the news of the collapse of Watanuki Credit Co., Ltd. I hope you can tell him that his debt has been cleared and he can go find his wife."

"No problem, I'll go tonight!"

Xiaolan quickly agreed, feeling a little relieved that she could finally give something back to Shuiyue-kun!
Yingsheng smiled and said, "Thank you. Just to be on the safe side, remember to cover up your appearance."

"Got it. The team has moved." Thirty minutes later, at exactly nine o'clock in the evening, the taxi stopped downstairs of Ian Apartment in Beika-cho 1-chome.

After saying goodbye to Xiaolan, Yingsheng got out of the car and went upstairs. The door of room 2601 next to his own house was wide open. The furnishings inside were basically the same as before. There were three young men in cheap suits in the living room who were pointing everywhere and taking pictures.

After returning to his home, Yingsheng put the big bag in his hand on the dining table and took out a long paper box. On the cover was written something like "capsules" that were used to promote metabolism.

After tearing open the paper seal, there were five rows of dark green plastic boxes inside. Yingsheng opened one box and found it was full of large brass capsules, 9mm.

After randomly checking a few of them, Yingsheng took out other supplements and medicines from the bag and sorted them out one by one.

He didn't let Xiaolan help him carry the bag, of course because the weight was not right.

Fortunately, they didn't make any noise.

After organizing the common tools he requested from Gin, Hotaru was about to go take a shower when the phone rang. He answered it and heard Xiaolan's anxious voice.

"Suizuki-kun, Mr. Tojo has passed away."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"I heard from bystanders that he seemed to have fallen into the lake after getting drunk and drowned. But I saw the police and Shinichi searching nearby, so there may be something else going on."

"How unfortunate. Do you want to investigate with Kudo?"

"Eh? Isn't it strange that I'm here now?"

"Then trust Kudo. Whether it's an accident or murder, he can always solve it. By the way, are you disguised? Don't let anyone see you."

"Never. Is Suigetsu-kun in better spirits?"

"I'm getting ready for bed, bye."

"Good night."

The phone hangs up.

Yingsheng picked up an antique mobile phone from his usual tools, replaced the card with a new anonymous number, dialed Megure Jusan's number, pinched his throat and changed his voice:

"Officer, I saw a suspicious figure in the woods to the east. It was a woman with long hair and she looked young. Her eyes were so scary that I dare not tell you in person. Please don't mention me even if you catch her. Thank you very much."

Click——

Without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, Yingsheng hung up the phone, turned off the phone, took out the card, crushed it, and ten minutes later, let it disappear into the sewer along with the shower gel foam.

It is said that most people get inspiration while taking a shower.

What popped up in Yingsheng's mind at this moment was the complete municipal map of Beika Town.

The best place to hide in Beihua Central Park is, of course, the woods near the crime scene.

And Ian Apartment is in the north of the park.

The original plan for Tojo Shuntatsu's death was of course planned by Hotaru, and the executor was Yuzuki Kiyoko.

Now there is a slight rift between him and Yuzuki Kiyoko, and he needs to judge Yuzuki Kiyoko's behavior pattern by where and how Tojo Shuntatsu died.

It's not to mend the relationship, there is no such thing between them.

Just...

pay attention to?

Pay attention to the individuals that once lived in symbiosis.

As for letting Xiaolan attract the police's attention, it was just a casual thing to do and there wouldn't be much risk anyway.

Ten minutes later, Yingsheng got into bed in his pajamas and closed his eyes. After an unknown amount of time, the phone beside his pillow rang again. He answered it without even looking at it.

"I'm sorry, Suigetsu-kun, for disturbing your rest."
