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

"This……"

The young man looked hesitant.

Hotaru slipped a Fukuzawa Yukichi card into his breast pocket and patted it.

"Ahem, here's what happened."

The young man immediately became serious and began to explain his perspective, which can be summarized as follows:

Amuro Tooru, who only started working part-time as a waiter at the store this morning, is definitely up to no good. He's probably a scumbag who's after the high school girl. When he saw that Yukimatsu Kiyoko was pretty, he took the opportunity to chat her up. Then Kudo Shinichi arrived, and the two got into a verbal altercation and started fighting.

After hearing this, Ying Sheng felt quite puzzled:

"Would Kudo be that impulsive?"

"Sorry, I was busy because that dark-skinned guy was slacking off, so I didn't see it in detail." The young man scratched his head awkwardly. "Actually, everyone else in the store was the same; they weren't quite sure why they had the conflict."

"So, there might be something else going on, right?" Ying Sheng said thoughtfully. "What were the results of their battle?"

"Uh, the high school student was completely outmatched by the dark-skinned guy."

"..."

"..."

After the milk tea was ready, Ying Sheng and Xiao Lan took a taxi to Beihua Central Hospital. On the way, Xiao Lan's phone kept ringing with busy signals, and she looked somewhat uneasy. Seeing this, Ying Sheng thought for a moment:

"Why don't you put on your headphones?"

"..."

Xiaolan glared at him fiercely, hung up the phone, put away her phone, and sighed softly:

"I wasn't calling Shinichi, I was calling Sonoko. Didn't she go to the hospital with him too?"

"Who cares? We're almost there. Are you in such a hurry?"

"What if they get transferred to another hospital?"

"Then we can just ask first and then go. Anyway, we have plenty of time. It's not like he'll be cured if we go too late."

Hotaru shrugged: "Besides, judging from how much middle-aged women and cats and dogs like Mr. Amuro, he should be a pretty gentle person. He should be careful with his actions. Kudo won't be in any serious trouble and won't need to be transferred to another hospital."

Xiao Lan silently watched Ying Sheng, who calmly looked back at her.

Xiaolan was disheartened:

"I'm sorry, I was too shallow. Mizuki-kun is really amazing to be able to remain calm at any time."

Ying Sheng laughed: "Actually, it's none of my business. I'm just a bystander at best."

"...What if..."

“There are no ifs. You’re not a child anymore.” Hotaru glanced at her. “If you’re really agitated, why don’t you fight with Mr. Amuro later? He can easily beat Kudo. He should be… well, maybe he’s a trained fighter.”

"Oh... but perhaps it means something?"

"It means reminding Kudo to always carry a soccer ball with him wherever he goes, so as not to significantly reduce his fighting ability. Just imagine how cool it would be if he could recreate his heroic rescue of the damsel in distress at the coffee shop yesterday afternoon at noon today."

"........."

Xiaolan didn't want to talk to this guy anymore.

They arrived at Beika Central Hospital quickly, and Hotaru asked at the nurses' station for Shinichi Kudo's room number.

Building 3, Unit 413.

"Why is it this again?" Ying Sheng asked curiously. "Haven't those Yakuza been discharged from the hospital yet?"

"Um..." the nurse said awkwardly, "It's not that fast yet."

Ying Sheng nodded indifferently, and he and Xiao Lan each carried a fruit basket in one hand, walking through the courtyard towards Building 3:

"That makes things more convenient."

"Is Mizuki-kun going to visit my father?"

"No, the other fruit basket is for Cedar or Mr. Amuro."

"Huh? Aren't they alright?"

"Everything's fine now, but what happens after you go up there?"

"........."

Xiao Lan said angrily, "It's alright!"

The target ward was reached in the blink of an eye. The door was not closed, only half-open. Ying Sheng knocked on the door:

"excuse me."

The door was slowly pulled open from the inside, and the girl with the headband who was revealed immediately lit up when she saw who it was:

"Xiao Lan, you've finally arrived!"

Hotaru silently retreated to the side, hoping to become invisible, but his power was insufficient. Sonoko Suzuki pulled Ran into the house, still watching coldly.

"And Shuiyue is here too."

Ying Sheng smiled and said, "I came to see you."

"Hmph! People..."

Sonoko snorted coldly, but considering that there were other people around, she didn't say anything else. Ran turned around and glanced at Hotaru, her expression quite helpless. Hotaru shrugged indifferently and followed her into the ward.

The striking blond-haired, dark-skinned man who should have been the most eye-catching was not here. Shinichi Kudo lay on the central hospital bed, his face showing no injuries, but both his arms were wrapped in bandages, lying on the white sheets, almost blending into them.

The six-eared macaque was sitting upright on a folding chair beside the hospital bed, smiling and looking towards the door. However, there was a plate of cut fruit on the bedside table next to her, and Shinichi Kudo was still chewing something. He probably just finished feeding the person who came.

After exchanging greetings, a silence fell over the group.

Ying Sheng glanced at the dazzling array of fruit gift boxes on the next hospital bed and chuckled softly:

"Kudo, I'm not the last one here, am I? You're really popular."

Shinichi Kudo laughed awkwardly: "Actually, it's nothing, everyone was just too enthusiastic."

So, can you tell me about it?

"This... um..."

"no!"

Shinichi Kudo was still struggling with his decision when Sonoko interrupted him, looking at Hotaru:

"This is a secret. I haven't told any of my classmates before. I'm very sorry, and I can't tell Mizuki-kun either."

"Oh."

Ying Sheng shifted his gaze slightly: "What about Xue Song?"

"I'm sorry, this is just a misunderstanding, and we don't want to escalate the situation," Vermouth said with a gentle smile.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, everyone. I'm going to find Batman." Hotaru turned and left. "Kudo, get well soon."

The girls looked at each other, wondering what he meant.

Shinichi Kudo was speechless: "He means he really wants to beat up the Riddler!"

"…………"

Leaving aside the speechless group, Ying Sheng turned and went into the next ward, greeting everyone cheerfully:

"It's been a long time, Mr. Mori."

Chapter 138 Is Ying Sheng investigating a case? No, he's plotting something!

In room 414, Masayo Aida was not there. Kogoro Mouri was staring blankly at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on TV, and when he heard someone come in, he didn't even want to look away.

The person greeted him familiarly, and he reluctantly looked up, confirming that he had never seen the boy in the casual white hoodie before. He asked in confusion:

"Who are you?"

"Oh dear, Mr. Mori, you really have a bad memory. I even toasted you in Ginza."

Seeing Kogoro Mouri's growing confusion, Hotaru chuckled, "It was that time, you and Toko were drinking together, having a great time, and you were chatting about..."

"Ahem! Is there something you need?"

Kogoro Mouri quickly interrupted, "Tomoko..."

Ah, it's become taboo now.

As for Ying Sheng, he certainly had no recollection of him at all, but the friendly toasts at nightclubs were common, so it was normal not to remember him.

Ying Sheng looked around the ward and walked towards the window: "To be honest, I came here this time in place of Miss Towako."

"What? Toko!"

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up immediately, but he quickly gave a wry smile and said, "Why did she send you here? Didn't she say she never wanted to see me again?"

"That's what she said, but she didn't ask me to come over. However, I mentioned you when we were chatting, and it's clear that she cares about you a lot."

"Haha, so that's how it is... cough cough!"

Kogoro Mouri looked smug, but then realized something was amiss and quickly suppressed his smugness, asking in confusion:

Why did you talk about me when you were drinking with Shihezi?

"Ah?"

Ying Sheng looked carefully out the window, then turned back in surprise: "Don't you know your reputation? You killed two people on the spot in a fit of rage for a woman. You're already a legendary figure in the sex industry. Some girls have even offered to sleep with you for free."

"!!!"

Kogoro Mouri stared wide-eyed in shock: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by killing two people on the spot? I didn't kill anyone! It was an accident! An accident!"

"OK, OK, relax, don't let it affect your recovery." Ying Sheng looked Kogoro Mouri up and down, and said strangely, "Rumors always get more and more outrageous as they spread, and shouldn't we pay more attention to the last sentence? It's free."

"Gulu——"

Kogoro Mori swallowed hard. "What...no!" He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. "Don't even think about tempting me! I've already reformed!"

Ying Sheng shook his head and chuckled. He turned around and saw Aida Masayo standing at the door. She must have been nearby before and came back to check after hearing the noise.
