Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 63 Victory is at hand!

“That makes sense, but not much.”

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Is it possible that I don't have this kind of emotional needs?

Take you and Suzuki for example, do you think she will keep the other person in mind all the time when she is dating someone in the future, like you do?"

Xiaolan's eyes dimmed slightly: "Mr. Shuiyue said that we should display our talents in our respective areas of expertise and smile at each other in our spare time. You appreciate this kind of free and easy relationship between lovers."

"Yes, this is the difference in personality caused by different growing environments, and the first one is the original family."

Yingsheng sighed softly, "You have lacked love since childhood, and you will infinitely magnify any kindness from others. You are worried that the warmth will leave, so you will want to return it, an unequal return, and in the end, it will become unconditional concession.

You should see a psychiatrist more than I should."

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths: "Are you talking about Shinichi?"

"Of course it includes him, but the most important thing is your father."

Yingsheng said: "Imagine if I were in your position...

Well, I would definitely go to Lawyer Fei on the first day. If she treats me badly, I will go directly to my relatives to seek adoption.

If there is no other way, I will go and knock on Kudo's door in the middle of the night and tell him that from now on, the two of us are bound together. I am very sleepy now, can you give me a bed?
I heard from my classmates that Kudo's father is the famous mystery novelist Kudo Yusaku, and his mother is the once popular actress Fujimine Yukiko, and they have excellent financial strength.

I don't know their personalities, but judging from the Kudo they trained, he should be a very cheerful person.

Adopting you is easy."

It sounds like a very strange world line. Because it is too outrageous, Xiaolan doesn't feel much. She just said helplessly: "Would Shuiyue-kun think of these when he was seven years old?"

"When Shuiyue Yingsheng was seven years old, it probably wouldn't work; when Tianshu was seven years old, it would work."

Xiaolan certainly didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence. She just thought Yingsheng was saying that she had grown up. She sighed slightly: "So, it's all in the past. What's the point of saying this now?"

"Psychiatrist..."

"Don't tell me to go see a doctor!"

"Tsk, it's not good to be afraid of seeing a doctor, but forget it.

Since Mr. Maori is in the hospital, let's start making a comparison table of his life before and after from today, and also make up for the ones from the past two days.

Haven't you heard the saying that every adult needs to re-parent themselves? That's what you need to do now."

"Hi, thank you for the guidance of Teacher Shuiyue. Yuanzi will be back soon. Bye."

"That sounds a bit strange. See you later."

The phone hangs up.

Yingsheng locked his phone and was about to put it away when he suddenly caught a glimpse of his own face in the dark screen, especially the faint smile that unconsciously hung on the corner of his mouth.

It really is a great spiritual healing.

No wonder so many people like to keep pets. No matter how hard they try, in front of these innocent little animals, they will let go of all distracting thoughts and relax.

So, is Xiaolan a cat or a dog?
Haha, of course they are humans, just like the game he played with his many adopted daughters in his previous life.

Cute and worry-free. How wonderful!

After a while, the black Bentley stopped elegantly far away outside the Akagi Wharf. Yingsheng stretched out his left hand to his forehead and gathered his hair back. With his right hand, he picked up a mask from the seat next to him. It was a white fox with red eyes, and the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, which was quite evil and charming.

With the fox mask covering his face and paired with Yingsheng's current black suit, which was standard for yakuza, he looked like he had come to this long-abandoned pier to attend a masquerade ball.

Get out of the car and open the trunk.

Yingsheng took out an all-metal silver suitcase with his left hand, and with a pull and a throw with his right hand, a long large sack appeared on his shoulder, with half of it hanging down from front to back.

He walked towards the pier alone, and the next second when the trunk of the Bentley Arnage was closed, it turned around and left.

ask:
How did Kiyoko lure Kudo Shinichi to Tokyo Bay?
She is indeed quite smart, but there is undoubtedly some gap compared to Kudo Shinichi who has almost locked her down.

The two plans that Hotaru prepared for Kiyoko had been cracked on the phone side. The fingerprints on the glass bottle used to hold dry ice were also easily discovered after Chiba and Shin bought an identical bottle and gave it to Kudo Shinichi.

The principle is very simple:
Dry ice sublimates at room temperature and produces a large amount of carbon dioxide. If you want the gas to spray out when the bottle mouth is opened, you must fully ensure the sealing of the bottle stopper.

But Tojo Shunshin would be seriously drunk at the time. What if the glass bottle was sealed too well and he couldn't open it?
What if he got impatient and returned to the shore and smashed the glass bottle on the ground?
The dangerous posture and the temporary hypoxia caused by the carbon dioxide spray in the face were the inevitable conditions for Tojo Shunshin's accidental fall into the water.

To this end, the bottle stopper must be airtight while being easy to open.

The soda pull ring perfectly meets this requirement, but in order for Tojo Shunshin to see the tempting note inside, the container must be a transparent glass bottle. Moreover, making a pull ring is not that easy, and Kiyoko is totally unable to do it.

So, let’s use this principle a little bit.

Leverage principle.

Simply put, when the small external triggering device was placed, the glass bottle became a strange landmine to some extent.

Then why didn't Kudo Shinichi find anything else besides the glass bottle?
Of course, it was ejected just like the pull ring of a mine.

The outside of the glass bottle is very smooth and there is no room to install a spring, so the elastic device is obviously a rubber band.

Kudo Shinichi restored the device on the glass bottle he bought, and immediately contacted the Scientific Investigation Department, asking them to observe carefully at the approximate location. Sure enough, they found the traces left by the rubber band that had been overlooked before, verifying their hypothesis.

But the point is not this, the point is:

If the person who performed this step was Yukina Nami, who left half a fingerprint, was she wearing gloves at that time?
If not, she wouldn't have left only half a fingerprint.

If so, it means she has enough risk awareness and there is no possibility that she would leave even a fingerprint!
This inference, combined with the substitution of the other side of the phone, undoubtedly points to a clear fact:

Someone is framing Nami Yukimatsu!
The fingerprint on the glass bottle was probably left by someone who rubbed it on her hand while she was having so much fun in the club, but that person didn't dare to be too obvious, so there was only half a fingerprint!
After confirming this, Kudo Shinichi immediately concluded:

"This is definitely Xuesong Qingzi's own move. The psychological quality of the mastermind behind this cannot be so poor!"

After the relentless pursuit, Kudo Shinichi became more and more certain of his reasoning.

It seems that Kiyoko Yukimura had some disagreement with the mastermind behind the scenes, and the plan she carried out alone seemed quite ingenious to the police, but in his eyes, it was full of mistakes!

"Tokyo Bay! Itahara, the homeless man who used to be an electrician!"

When Kudo Shinichi unexpectedly got this news from the public's report, his eyes lit up.

He saw that victory was just ahead!
