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

"No need, I have bread and drinks, just make your own."

"Puch-"

Kiyoko Yukimatsu covered her mouth and chuckled, "It would be too impolite to let guests bring their own food." A playful glint appeared in her eyes, "Kudo-kun, you're not afraid I'll poison you, are you? I can taste every dish first."

"..."

Shinichi Kudo remained silent for a few moments, no longer wanting to play along with her.

"You should know my purpose very well."

"Of course, you can treat my current normalcy as a disguise."

Kiyoko Yukimatsu said casually, "Anyway, I didn't do anything. You can doubt me if you want."

"Honestly, being a detective is really useful. All those outrageous things Mr. Mori did were explained as accidents, and even shrouded in a veneer of conspiracy. He won't be sentenced, right?"

"He was innocent."

"Of course, that's what the detective and the police say. He's innocent, it's all the hospital's fault, and the person who committed suicide, what was his name again? He just wanted to die, it had nothing to do with Mr. Mori's provocation."

Who was it again?!

That person clearly died for you, and now you're putting on this innocent act?!

Shinichi Kudo said coldly, "Jamaku Izakaya, do you remember this place?"

Kiyoko Yukimatsu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Maybe yes, maybe no, what's wrong?"

"Your mother was framed in that area, Uncle Mori was ambushed there, and Takahara Yoshimori used to go there to drink. What do you think happened? There must be someone who frequents that area and is very familiar with the terrain."

"Cedar, who do you think that person is?"

"How would I know? Isn't this the job of the police and detectives? Didn't you find out?"

Someone saw you around there!

"Really? What does that prove? Where is that izakaya you mentioned? Let me think, did I go there one day when I was bored?"

hateful!

Shinichi Kudo clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury. This guy's words were so watertight that there was no way to find a flaw in them!

"correct."

While marinating the beef, Kiyoko Yukimatsu reminded him, "We're outside, are you sure you want to say these things?"

Shinichi Kudo's expression froze slightly as he looked towards the kitchen next door.

There was no sound from there, and he was so emboldened by the arrogant provocation of Kiyoko Yukimatsu that he completely forgot about it for a moment.

Were they listening to each other the whole time?

Should he go over and take a look?

In the adjacent kitchen, Ying Sheng, practicing his knife skills by slicing tofu, raised an eyebrow slightly.

Kiyoko was definitely doing it on purpose. It wasn't that she had any malicious intent; she probably just wanted to see who was taking over the kitchen she wanted to use.

But she was used to bossing men around, and even for something that could be done easily, she would habitually ask others to do it for her.

However, in retrospect, using words is indeed something she can do very easily.

However, the detective was easily agitated and remained somewhat restless.

Clear footsteps approached, and Ying Sheng turned his head to look at Xiao Lan.

Xiaolan had already moved very quietly, and upon hearing the commotion over there, she almost stopped completely.

But as soon as she noticed Ying Sheng's gaze, she gritted her teeth, quickened her pace, and threw the red chili pepper next to her into the smoking oil.

She didn't do anything!

What are you so guilty about?

Ying Sheng nodded approvingly and continued to work diligently. He used to have a colleague who could finely chop a person into minced meat in a very short time. It was said that she had a specialty dish called Wensi Tofu.

Suddenly, a spicy smell filled the air. Ying Sheng breathed softly through her mask, feeling tears and snot welling up inside.

Ah… “Cough cough cough cough!”

Familiar taste.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

From beside the curtain, another, even more violent coughing sound rang out, "Ah~ cough~~!! Cough cough cough cough!!!"

It was so heart-wrenching to hear, I almost coughed up my lungs.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the coughs grew distant. Ying Sheng suddenly realized what was happening and gave Xiao Lan a thumbs up.

So it was premeditated all along!

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless and dared not reply. She was holding her breath, and her face was turning red.

When that old lady who spoke Japanese with a strange accent recommended it, didn't she say it was the spiciest level?

Is this the lowest?!

"Guest! Guest! What's going on here?"

The proprietress rushed to the door, took a deep breath, and then hurriedly ran out, coughing violently. In the hazy smoke, the smoke alarm went off, the range hood started running at full power, making a loud noise, and some pots and pans from next door accidentally fell to the ground with a thud.

The two kitchens were in complete chaos.

Under the landlady's glare that was about to explode, Ying Sheng, with a voice that was almost hoarse from smoking, uttered two mysterious incantations, which immediately softened the landlady's expression.

"Add money!"

When the stove was turned off, the smoke in the kitchen finally began to dissipate, but Hotaru and Ran, who had not gone out to escape, were almost completely covered in the smell.

"I mean, cough cough, it can't be that bad, can it?" Hotaru said, her eyes red as she washed her face by the pool. "Is Kudo really that scary? I felt like I almost died."

"None of your business. You didn't go out either."

Xiao Lan was also washing her eyes in another pool, but perhaps due to her large lung capacity, her voice was completely unaffected, leaving Ying Sheng utterly speechless.

"Guess why I'm doing this? And if you speak so loudly now, and Kudo hears you, wouldn't all your suffering be for nothing?"

Xiao Lan's movements froze slightly, but she immediately gritted her teeth, straightened her back, and with an air of "the wind is howling and the Yi River is cold," walked to the partition curtain and lifted it up.

wow-

As the landscape reverses, the opposite side is revealed: pots and pans are scattered all over the ground, and the place is deserted.

Xiao Lan's imposing aura instantly dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief. Ying Sheng rolled his eyes, wiped his hand, and turned to leave.

"No, I have to go apologize to them both."

"Don't!"

Xiaolan quickly turned around and looked at Yingsheng with pleading eyes, but Yingsheng didn't stop walking:

"Your intermittent displays of heroic spirit and tender-heartedness are quite unpleasant to me. Today, I'm going to make you pay with your life."

"…………"

Xiaolan snapped, "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"Hey, hey, you're good at internal battles but terrible at external ones, that's exactly what I mean by you!" Seeing that Xiaolan was about to stop him, Ying Sheng sped up and ran out.

"Kudo, where is he? Is he dead?"

"asshole!!!"

Xiao Lan's eyes twitched wildly, and she quickly followed.

Chapter 76 Remarks on the launch

It will be available tomorrow at 5 PM, the same time as before.

Dear readers, please subscribe!

Beg on your knees!

Compared to the previous book, I thought my level had improved, but the data shows that it's even worse. I only hope that I can reach an average of 500 in three months, so that I can continue writing on welfare.

I wrote over 20,000 words on the first day, and I'm still writing how many more I'll write.

From then on, I will work 10,000 words every day, and unless absolutely necessary, I will not ask for leave. If I do ask for leave, I will make it up later.

Add update rules:

+1 for every 100 monthly tickets received, +1 for every 10,000 points of accumulated rewards.

I don't know if the latter exists, but let's just consider it a wish.

Please subscribe again! My kids can't even afford to eat, please, please, give me some money...OTZ!

thank!

Chapter 77 A Small Issue About Feelings

Ying Sheng ran to the outer hall and looked around, but found no one there. Had they gone straight to the alley outside to get some fresh air?

Continuing towards the doorway, Ying Sheng was about to step through when the proprietress turned in from outside, still sighing repeatedly. Upon seeing Ying Sheng's movement, she immediately became wary and moved her feet further into the middle of the path.

"Guest, what are you doing..."

Ying Sheng interrupted, "I didn't intend to run away. The meat is already in the pot. What about the other two? I wanted to apologize to them."

"Oh, I see," the proprietress said with an awkward smile, then sighed, "Miss Kiyoko seems to be allergic to chili peppers. She fainted in the kitchen earlier and is now in a taxi, probably heading to the nearest Beika Central Hospital."

"hiss--"

Ying Sheng gasped. "Is that so?"

No, he had asked Qingzi to cook spicy dishes for him before, and she never refused or had any adverse reactions. He guessed that she was just waiting for the right moment to pretend to faint and try to manipulate the famous detective.
