He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Gin flicked his cigarette ash and walked towards Hotaru: "But do you think you can't do that?"

“I just don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble. I think Miss Shirley can persuade her sister.” Ying Sheng drove towards the door, the black, older Porsche 356A reflecting a dazzling light in the night.

"You're here to pick her up? Where's Miss Akemi?"

Vodka took her home.

Gin glanced at Ran, who looked a little nervous, and then looked away: "You should know that there's something wrong with Kiyoko Yukimatsu."

Ying Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Could you be more specific?"

"It's about what that detective kid is investigating. I don't know if he's really the mastermind, but since there's a risk, for Sherry's safety, I hope they can keep a certain distance from each other."

Because of the incident involving Elena and her husband Miyano, Vermouth harbors a deep-seated hatred for the Miyano surname. No one can guarantee that she will always remain rational, prioritize the overall situation, and refrain from killing Sherry.

After receiving Vermouth's call in the afternoon, Gin finished his work and immediately told Sherry to stay away from the crime scene.

He couldn't tell Sherry Vermouth's current identity directly; he had to be more subtle.

Unfortunately, they were just unlucky, and the two of them bumped into each other again that night.

Upon learning that there was another person, Mizuki Hotaru, nearby who could act as a link between them, Gin decided to come over himself.

Drunk Shirley...

Heh, that's quite interesting.

"I understand." Ying Sheng nodded, feeling quite disappointed. Was it just that one thing? But, "Why do you know about this?" he asked curiously.

“Sherry ran into you guys at the supermarket last time, and out of curiosity, she gathered some publicly available information.” Gin looked up, his view blocked by the ceiling, but he seemed to see two figures, and clicked his tongue inexplicably.

“Shirley rarely gets involved in anything other than her research and her sister’s affairs. What do you think caused her to be curious last time?”

"It's probably Kudo. We bumped into each other in Shibuya on Saturday," Hotaru said casually.

He looked Gin up and down, and said with a smile, "I originally thought you would be more ruthless, but it turns out you quite like gossip too."

"........."

Gin glanced at him coldly and said, "Tsk," not bothering to argue with a lunatic.

And speaking of gossip...

Gin asked with interest, "Are Kiyoko Yukimatsu and Shinichi Kudo very close?"

"puff--"

Ying Sheng couldn't hold back for a moment, his killing intent increased by 1. After seeing the prompt in his mind and the cold eyes on the other side, he quickly covered his mouth and coughed, trying his best to control himself.

"Officer, how did you know about this?"

"Newspapers, coffee shops."

Gin pulled today's evening paper from the newspaper rack next to the elevator and showed it to Ying Sheng the headline.

The most important thing is a photo:

In the spacious corridor, at the end were spiderweb-like shattered glass and a fallen criminal, on both sides were onlookers, police and passersby, and in the center were two people smiling at each other.

Shinichi Kudo's smile is flamboyant and sunny;

Vermouth's smile was serene and elegant.

A breeze stirred, causing the girl's hair and the hem of her skirt to flutter gently.

Click!

Some expert photographer happened to press the shutter at the right moment, capturing this scene on film. After being developed, submitted, and mass-produced, it reached Ying Sheng's eyes, making him smile involuntarily.

"They look like a perfect match."

He turned around and handed the newspaper to Xiaolan: "If you want to cry, go outside. Call me when you're done."

"..."

Xiao Lan stared coldly!

"..."

Gin vaguely realized that Mizuki Hotaru wasn't just hanging around with an ordinary naive girl, but someone who already had someone she loved!

Tsk, what a twisted sense of humor.

Ying Sheng smiled and said, "Judging from her behavior at the dinner table, Xue Song does care a lot about Kudo. Her genuine concern is not fake. In fact, when she sees Kudo making childish gestures, her eyes show a helpless doting look."

Gin's gaze grew increasingly strange: "You mean... the way a mother spoils a child?"

"Cough cough cough cough!!!"

Hotaru nearly choked on his own spit, staring at Gin with a shocked expression: "Why would you think that?"

Gin clicked his tongue: "Because of your description."

"That's not how it is."

Ying Sheng shook his head: "You need to know that, according to physiological science, women mature earlier than men. In relationships at this age, it's common for women to feel that men are immature."

Someone like Cedar, who not only didn't show any aversion but instead looked at Kudo with doting eyes and found him adorable, I think that's undoubtedly true love.

"..."

"..."

For some reason, Gin and Ran exchanged a glance, and a strange feeling welled up in their hearts.

like……

I lost.

However, Gin quickly came to his senses. Vermouth had fallen in love with a high school student?

What a joke!

By the way, didn't she say last time that she guessed that if she showed that she could be sincere to others, Mizuki Hotaru might take the initiative to approach her?

That's it!

Vermouth did all this for the mission!

Ha, as expected of the Thousand-Faced Witch, her acting skills are so superb that she even fooled Liu Ying, a seasoned expert among women.

Thinking of this, Gin adjusted his hat brim, turned, and left.

"Don't forget that."

"I already said I don't need it."

Helpless, Hotaru waited until Gin's figure disappeared through the car door before turning to the curious Ran and explaining:

"He wants me to hang Ms. Akemi so she can stop dreaming of taking Ms. Shiho away. Isn't that outrageous?"

"........."

Xiao Lan nodded silently; it was indeed outrageous.

However, upon first meeting Mr. Kurosawa, and considering the warning Hotaru gave her last Saturday night, she had assumed he would be a terrifying and difficult person to get along with, but now it seems…

Yeah, it seems pretty normal after all.

After all, people who enjoy gossip are usually not bad-hearted.

Just like a garden.

Huh?

Thinking of this, Xiaolan quickly took out her phone. Yuanzi had called her earlier, but she had answered the call while at the dinner table, apologized briefly, and hung up. Now that she had some free time, she naturally wanted to call back.

And as soon as the other end connected...

"Ran, Shinichi Kudo is a scumbag too!"

"..."

"..."

The noise was so loud that Ying Sheng overheard it, pursed his lips, and mouthed to Xiao Lan, "I'll go outside and get a taxi." Then he turned and walked out.

Xiaolan nodded, covered the microphone with her hand, and spoke quietly to Yuanzi, a thought swirling in her mind.

The word "also," hmm...

The use of the garden is quite ingenious.

"What?!!!"

When Sonoko Suzuki heard Ran recount how she and Hotaru went shopping and had a chance encounter with the incredibly close Shinichi Kudo and Kiyoko Yukimatsu, and even ended up drinking together,

She was completely devastated!

This, this, this, this...

What's going on here?!

"And then?!"

Chapter 131 The orchid and the moon may have their own intentions, but the fireflies are indifferent!

"later……"

Xiaolan's tone was ambiguous, whether it was relief, disappointment, or acceptance, as she sighed softly:

"Shuiyue-jun easily took control of the situation, telling everyone to live for the moment and not worry about worldly affairs, saying that they were just unnecessary troubles. Then he was very good at creating a good atmosphere, and then... that was it."

"hateful!"

Sonoko Suzuki gritted her teeth as she listened: "No wonder he's a top-tier male host, so adept at social maneuvering!"

"........."

Ran was speechless for a few moments before weakly saying, "Actually, I guess I did gain something. Based on what I observed at the dinner table, it seems like Shinichi and Yukimatsu have feelings for each other, especially Yukimatsu, she..."

"Hey Hey hey!"

Sonoko interrupted urgently, "Ran, what are you saying? She's only been in our class for three days! You and Shinichi Kudo have been together for over ten years. Are you going to say you're giving up? Are you alright? You're going too far with how you're trying to please others!"
