Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 94 Auction Item——Xingsong Qingzi!
After seven o'clock tonight, Xuesong Qingzi's phone has been unreachable.

This was not a big deal for Kudo Shinichi. He just felt a little annoyed that he was entangled by a man and lost Yuzuki Kiyoko.

"Who are you? You must have been sent by Xuesong Qingzi!"

At that time, Kudo Shinichi grabbed the man's collar angrily. He was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very gentle, but he acted like a rogue, which was even more annoying than the uncles and aunts he had met before.

The man opened Kudo Shinichi's hand, straightened his collar, and said condescendingly:
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Nakatani Fumizumi, and I'm Miss Kiyoko's suitor. No one sent me here. I just happened to see you harassing her, so I came here to help her solve her problem. I've seen you in the newspaper, Kudo Shinichi, a detective who is said to be very capable. Now it seems that the rumors are a little bit wrong?"

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth and said, "Do you work here? Or do you live here?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Nakatani Fumizumi asked back.

"Of course it does matter!"

Kudo Shinichi said coldly, "You said you came here voluntarily to help her solve her problem, but how can you be sure that I am the one who is in trouble? What if we are in love with each other? You came here to pester me without asking a single question, and it is obvious that you have already determined it in your heart. Excuse me, do you still think this is a coincidence?!"

Nakatani Fumizumi frowned and thought for a few breaths. "Her mother called me and told me that Qingzi had mentioned me in front of her. She was recently harassed by a detective and hoped that I could help her."

"!!!!!!"

Kudo Shinichi originally thought that this was just a trick played by Yuzuki Kiyoko to get rid of him, just like last night's hospitalization due to an allergy to peppers.

He was fooled, so he was fooled. At worst he could just continue tomorrow.

And this time he also discovered a hidden chess piece of Xuesong Qingzi, which was somewhat of a gain.

It was with this idea in mind that he did not immediately continue to track down Yuzuki Kiyoko, but stayed to question the man. However, after the other party mentioned Yuzuki Nami, Kudo Shinichi immediately realized that things were getting serious!
Kudo Shinichi knew how bad the relationship between Yuzuki Kiyoko and her mother was.

One party can curse her daughter as a bitch in front of irrelevant people without any regard for family affection, and the other party is even more scheming and plotting, wanting to make her mother bear the serious crimes of assaulting police officers and murder!

It is possible for this mother and daughter to sabotage each other, but how could they be close enough to communicate about what Nakatani Wenquan said!
"Hey!"

Kudo Shinichi's expression was extremely serious: "Are you sure the person who called you was Yukimatsu Nami?"

Nakatani Fumizumi didn't know what was going on, but he could tell something might be wrong, so he nodded quickly, "Yes, she was interviewed about the 500 million insurance money and appeared on TV. The voice on the phone was exactly the same as her on TV!"

"hateful!"

Kudo Shinichi hurriedly called Yuzuki Kiyoko, but the call was not connected. He then followed the road that Yuzuki Kiyoko had taken before to look for her. As a result, he did not find her, but he did find a white smartphone that had fallen on the side of the road and was ringing continuously.

Kudo Shinichi has openly peeked at Kiyoko Yukio using her cell phone many times, so of course he recognized it, it was hers!

"Mr. Detective! What on earth happened?!"

Nakatani Fumizumi caught up and looked panicked when he saw Kudo Shinichi picking up the phone on the ground: "Where's Kiyoko? How is she?!"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Xuesong Qingzi's phone was locked with a nine-square pattern. Kudo Shinichi tried his best to recall whether he had peeped at it before. He looked around and saw some shops and residents nearby. He quickly looked at the bewildered Nakatani Fumizumi and said, "Go to the nearby shops and ask one by one, what happened here just now?"

Nakatani Fumizumi hurriedly did as he was told, but in fact he didn't need to do so. Kudo Shinichi, who had a bad feeling in his heart, walked to the side of the road, looked at the two dark tire tracks on the ground, and immediately guessed what was going on.

The van stopped and moved quickly, and the mobile phone fell on the side of the road in a panic. No one picked it up. It was obvious what the purpose was.

"Qingzi has been kidnapped!"

Sure enough, a moment later Nakatani Wenquan ran back in a panic and hurriedly called the police.

At this moment, Kudo Shinichi finally recalled a scene. Xuesong Kiyoko usually was very careful not to be seen by him when she unlocked her mobile phone, but at noon today, when she unlocked her mobile phone, she was distracted by a butterfly outside the window, and he seized the opportunity to peek at half of it.

There was a hook at the end, and Kudo thought about what might be before it, then opened his phone on the fourth try.

First I looked through the call records, and sure enough, the first row was full of that familiar number.

Cedar Nami!

Kudo Shinji clicked into the last record and unexpectedly discovered that this phone actually had a call recording!

He turned on the speaker without hesitation, and after listening for less than half a minute, his face immediately turned pale.

Xuesong Nami, a human-shaped beast, actually asked her own daughter to help her accompany guests and pay off her debts!
and many more!

Didn't Xuesong Nami just get the 470 million insurance money on Saturday noon? Damn it, she lost it all in just a few days, and she even owed gambling debts!
The recording continues to play.

Kudo Shinichi discovered that the relationship between the two was indeed as bad as he had expected.

Xuesong Nami was the one who asked for help, and it was a dirty and filthy thing, but before she could say two nice words, she unconsciously added a few insults. Some of the dirty words were so dirty that Kudo Shinichi had never heard them before. He just felt like a stream of dirty water was drilling into his brain, and he felt nauseous.

Kudo Shinichi thinks that his temper is not bad, but now even if Sherlock Holmes is standing in front of him, he has something to say.

This kind of person doesn't deserve to be called a mother!
Compared with him, the person involved, Kiyoko Yuzumatsu was much calmer and more perfunctory in her responses, with a few sarcastic remarks from time to time, saying that it must be the ghost of Masato Yuzumatsu who came back for revenge, which was why Nami Yuzumatsu suddenly fell into the abyss of gambling!
revenge? !
This word made Kudo Shinichi's heart tremble, and what shocked him even more was that Xuesong Nami did not refute!
Was it because her energy was elsewhere and she had no intention to refute it, or was it just the fact that she couldn't refute it? !
Putting aside his doubts for the moment, Kudo Shinichi continued to listen to the recording.

Finally, a crucial sentence appeared.

"Why, do you want to kidnap me, mother? Let me tell you, the famous detective Kudo Shinichi is always by my side. He can contact the police at any time. If you dare to come, aren't you afraid that he will find out something along this line?"

Hearing what Xuesong Kiyoko said, Kudo Shinichi's heart skipped a beat and he looked up at Nakatani Fumizumi.

Zhonggu Wenquan had already fallen to his knees in a trance.

What has he done?
