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

"Anyway, she's a little monster. If you underestimate her, don't blame me if you die and no one claims your body."

Without another word, Ying Sheng turned and left, followed by Hua Ying's hopeful shout:

"Big brother, you must come back soon!"

See you at this time tomorrow.

Go downstairs, take a taxi to Beika Central Hospital, and on the way, Hotaru dials Amuro Tooru's number:

"Mr. Amuro, is everything going smoothly?"

“In fact, I’m planning to hide in a place my target is sure to go and catch him red-handed,” Amuro Tooru said calmly.

"Okay, actually I wanted to remind you of something. Want to guess?"

"A hallucination could become reality at any time, right?"

"That's really impressive. How did you arrange the two rooms?"

"I'm sorry, but let's just consider this a trade secret."

"So mysterious, huh? Well, as long as it solves the problem, that's good. Goodbye, contact me tomorrow morning, don't bother me tonight."

"Ok."

Amuro Tooru hung up the phone by the window, looked at Vermouth beside him, and smiled:

"It might be dangerous, Kiyoko-kun, are you sure you want to help me?"

Vermouth looked at Shinichi Kudo lying on the hospital bed and smiled gently:

"I just believe in Kudo-kun."

Chapter 148 Sonoko Suzuki betrayed the ShinRan party! (Monthly vote 1)

Shinichi Kudo, lying on the hospital bed, looked bright-eyed: "Mr. Amuro, I'm so glad you asked me for help with this. I really misunderstood you at noon."

"........."

Amuro Tooru scratched his ear slightly, somewhat puzzled by the logic of Kudo Shinichi's words. "You're making me work for free, and you're actually very happy about it?"

Moreover, it's just an independent case, about the facts, what does it have to do with character?

That's what he thought, but what Amuro Tooru actually said was:

"I've long heard of the great detective Kudo-kun. I wasn't sure if my reasoning was accurate in this case, so I asked you to fill in the gaps."

His plan was to use this simple case to get closer to Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo shook his head: "Mr. Amuro's reasoning is excellent, but unfortunately I am currently unable to move around and cannot accompany you to catch the person who is pretending to be a ghost."

Although his foot is fine, running and walking will aggravate his injured hand, so it's best not to move it too much for better recovery.

Based on his deduction using Vermouth as his eyes, the real culprit will most likely commit the crime tonight in the room that Kogoro Mouri thought was a hallucination, while the room where the real culprit originally hid the dummy to pretend to be a ghost will be empty.

he thinks:

As long as Kiyoko goes to the room with the mannequin and checks, there won't be any danger. Besides, there's a lot of clutter in there, so she can hide beforehand. Even if the real culprit enters, they might not be able to find her.

After he expressed his idea earlier, Vermouth agreed with it.

Firstly, she also arrived at the same conclusion.

Secondly, she's not some innocent little flower; even if something unexpected happens, she can easily handle most people.

Since Shinichi Kudo can't see her in the hospital room, she doesn't need to pretend like she did in Kabukicho last time.

As for the explanation afterwards...

Ha, guess what, does Shinichi Kudo believe her or the suspect?

Moreover, she didn't think there would be any surprises.

the reason is simple:

"Ran told Dr. Shirai this afternoon that if her father hallucinates again tonight, he will be transferred to another hospital for psychological treatment. If the charlatans really want to take advantage of this, then tonight is the only time!"

After saying this, Shinichi Kudo looked intently at Tooru Amuro:

"Mr. Amuro, your client is Mizuki, right?"

Now that he'd been discovered, Amuro Tooru didn't try to hide it any longer and nodded.

“Mr. Shuiyue is very perceptive. He discovered the flaw over the phone, but he was too lazy to come over himself, so he asked me to do it for him.”

"What? That guy is really good at deduction, but he says he's not interested in that kind of thing." Shinichi Kudo shook his head. "But compared to what he's doing now, he certainly isn't interested."

Amuro Tooru raised an eyebrow slightly: "What?"

"Uh...it's nothing."

Shinichi Kudo denied it, but Vermouth just chuckled:

"Mizuki is currently at a bar, introducing girls to our classmate Nakamichi. Nakamichi was very excited and emailed Kudo-kun, asking him to analyze the photos and tell him how he should behave later."

Shinichi Kudo is currently unable to move his hands, so Vermouth helps him answer phone calls and check emails.

He felt quite embarrassed at first, but he got used to it later.

The most awkward moment was when Ran came over. If Sonoko hadn't blocked her in time, he would have witnessed Vermouth feeding him fruit.

Afterwards, he didn't know what to say to Xiaolan. Fortunately, it was Sonoko again, who promptly pulled Xiaolan out for a walk.

call--

That's really a great help.

Hearing Vermouth's words, Amuro Tooru shook his head and chuckled: "I see."

Although the idea of ​​a high school student going to a bar immediately gave him, an undercover police officer, a negative impression, his several phone conversations with Ying Sheng, in which she was always logical and had a carefree attitude, made him subconsciously treat her as an exception.

"In order not to disappoint Mr. Mizuki, I'll go and lie in ambush first. See you later, Kudo-kun."

Amuro Tooru glanced at the time; it was almost 9:30.

Although there are still two hours until Kogoro Mouri's first two "hallucinations," we still need to allow some leeway. After all, if their guesses are true, this matter concerns a life and cannot be taken lightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Amuro."

"It's not hard work, I'm getting paid."

"........."

Shinichi Kudo felt that the last sentence was meant to be a jab at him.

After Amuro Tooru left, Vermouth looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "Then I'll go too."

Shinichi Kudo nodded: "Be careful, wear your headphones, stay on the call, and call me anytime if you have any problems."

Vermouth carefully tucked him in, and smiled gently: "I'll still call you Mr. Amuro."

"........."

Shinichi Kudo scoffed, "That guy is really something, especially when it comes to fighting."

"Yes, yes, Kudo-kun is the best at reasoning."

Vermouth waved her hand: "See you later, Kudo-kun."

As they spoke, their figure disappeared behind the door.

Looking at the empty doorway, Shinichi Kudo felt a strange emptiness in his heart.

But only for a moment, he shook his head and chuckled, then turned around, leaned back against the headboard, and stared blankly at the pale ceiling.

What will be the outcome of this case?

What will the future hold?

Although I made some boastful remarks outside the milk tea shop at noon, most of it was actually due to the pressure of the situation and a momentary impulse driven by passion.

His true feelings...

Ah, it's not that easy to see.

To be irresponsible, if it weren't for Sonoko Suzuki's reckless actions that made the situation spiral out of control, he definitely wouldn't have done that at noon today.

After he ran out of the classroom at Shuiyue's suggestion, he actually figured it out halfway there. How could he possibly drag someone away when two girls were talking?

Who does he think he is to Kiyoko Yukimatsu?

There's no stance at all, okay?

Moreover, he didn't know where those two people would go, and he couldn't possibly call to ask; it wasn't that easy to run into them.

Once he grasped these two key points, he immediately understood:

Damn it, I've been tricked by Shuiyue!

Taking advantage of his distracted state, the guy asked him to buy lemonade, and he completely forgot to refuse.

hiss--

Thinking about it this way, could it be that Shuiyue's previous words were all just a prelude to getting him to buy lemonade?

This person is absolutely wicked!

With this in mind, Shinichi Kudo went to the bubble tea shop, having already temporarily put aside all other pink bubbles in his mind.

As it turned out, things just happened to be that coincidental.

Listening to the faint background noise amidst the silence in his headphones, Shinichi Kudo sighed inwardly.

It's too late to regret it now, he...

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

A sharp electrical whirring sound echoed through the headphones. Unable to move his hand to remove the headphones, Shinichi Kudo grimaced as if his eardrums were about to be pierced!

But he couldn't care less about that at the moment, and shouted anxiously:

"Kiyoko!"
