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

This thing is quite lethal.

Moreover, compared to Masato Yukimatsu, Nami Yukimatsu has another advantage in taking this path.

She is a woman.

You can make money in a unique way.

In fact, this could indeed involve Kiyoko, leading to another drama of selling one's daughter.

But isn't this just right?

Kiyoko still has two problems to solve, and if we include Shinichi Kudo, that makes three. Wouldn't it be more convenient to bring them all in and deal with them all at once?

Anyway, Kiyoko will be fine.

If things go smoothly, her public image may very well improve.

However, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I should still call Qingzi and explain.

Ying Sheng walked alone on the moonlit road and dialed Qingzi's number.

After a while,

[Love +1]

After hanging up the phone, Ying Sheng smiled gently. If Qingzi's affection continued at this frequency, he seemed to have no need to consider anything else.

【Love: 4】

[Killing Intent: 25 (Ability 1: Berserk)]

[Remaining lifespan: 1 days]

Unfortunately, that kind of thing seems somewhat unrealistic.

He was also quite curious about what ability would be unlocked when his affection level reached ten points. Furthermore, if there was ability one, there must be abilities two, three, four, five, and six; what would those be?

Currently, there aren't many things that Ying Sheng cares about in this world, but unlocking new skills is definitely one of them.

His status is only below that of someone else.

Some fleeting thoughts crossed his mind, Ying Sheng shook his head, and dialed the next number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Harada?"

I am Mr. Mori's friend, and he has something he would like to ask for your help with.

A reward of one million upfront, with no upper limit afterwards.

Chapter 84 Xiaolan: I want fireflies to stop drifting in the wind

The next day, 12 noon.

The weather was fine and sunny, with not a cloud in the sky.

As soon as the bell rang, Xiaolan turned to look at Yingsheng and saw him fast asleep on his desk. Her eyes immediately showed concern.

Shuiyue's constitution is not as good as hers. Yesterday, she not only used up a lot of energy practicing karate, but also sat in the hospital garden with her for two hours in the night breeze. In particular, she gave her coat afterward. I hope she won't catch a cold.

Just as Ran was about to walk that way, she saw Kenta Nakamichi nudge Hotaru from behind him.

"It's lunchtime."

Ying Sheng shrugged and ignored him.

Kenta Nakamichi sighed and lowered his voice, "Ran is waiting for you."

Ying Sheng raised her head.

"..."

This action left Kenta Nakamichi speechless, as were the others who were subtly observing Ran and Hotaru.

No, this couple is really together?

High school students, with their boundless energy, love to gossip, especially Xiaolan and Yingsheng. Due to their personalities and good looks, they are already quite popular in class, and their relationship only intensifies.

Another party involved, Shinichi Kudo, behaved extremely outrageously yesterday and this morning, raising public attention to these individuals to an unprecedented level.

It was so much fun!

Thinking of this, more than one person cast their gaze at Shinichi Kudo, and then they found that, as expected, this guy did not pay any attention to Ran and Suigetsu's situation and went straight out with the transfer student who had just arrived yesterday!

White teeth!

White teeth!

White teeth!

Was the seemingly locked-in Shinichi and Ran childhood friend pairing actually incredibly vulnerable? Or was it just a misunderstanding, and there was no such thing at all?

No, no!

Is it simply an inevitable law that green plums never fall from the sky?!

"hiss--"

Suddenly, a series of gasps filled the classroom, and the room temperature rose sharply.

What did they see?

Xiaolan has two bento boxes in her hand?!

Where is Shuiyue?

He walked past, empty-handed!

Ah, it's over.

What a satisfying and enjoyable time watching the drama unfold! I'm completely content and don't even need lunch.

Although they lost a pure and beautiful love to enjoy, they gained two more.

Hey, that's really nice.

A world where no one is injured has been perfectly achieved...

No wonder!

After the four most talked-about contestants left the classroom, the onlookers immediately shifted their attention to another contestant whose position was still unclear.

Suzuki Sonoko!

Many people witnessed his unusual behavior on Friday, and more than one person heard him say, "Shuiyue Yingsheng is scum."

Although the two-day weekend that followed delayed the escalation of the matter, it was bound to happen eventually. Especially after Shinichi Kudo's bombshell yesterday, everyone's gossip spirit was burning brightly, and the matter was quickly brought up again.

Among high school students in their adolescence, between boys and girls, what the term "scumbag" refers to is crystal clear.

Even the most foolish person can easily arrive at a guess with a little thought.

Shuiyue Yingsheng, he cheated on Suzuki Sonoko!

Ah!

This melon tastes even better!

Suzuki, enraged, discovers her best friend ignored her advice and was easily taken down by the scumbag who had hurt her before. What will she do next?

Filled with all sorts of strange expectations, everyone looked at her with sparkling eyes.

However, what's going on here?

Under the complex gazes of many who held unspoken expectations, Sonoko Suzuki calmly packed her books and stationery. After finishing, she picked up her handbag and walked out of the classroom with a nonchalant expression.

While it's impossible to say she's completely nonchalant—after all, she would never normally act so calmly—it's also impossible to tell that she's putting on a brave face.

Ultimately, given her personality, it's quite strange that she would react this way.

"Yeah, he's just putting on a brave face after all."

"I think so too. After all, it's strange to think that your ex-boyfriend and best friend got together."

"And Sonoko called Mizuki-kun a scumbag, so it feels like she was the one who was deceived."

"So her main concern is still Xiaolan?"

"Who knows? What if she can't forget him?"

"..."

Several girls in the classroom were openly gossiping. Their words drifted into the ears of Suzuki Sonoko, who hadn't gone far, draining the color from her face and causing her to involuntarily tighten her grip on her handbag, leaving several dents in the soft white leather.

She couldn't possibly be indifferent to Ying Sheng and Xiao Lan's current situation. And yes, she was only concerned about Xiao Lan and didn't want her to be deceived by scumbags, nothing more.

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely!

The day before yesterday, Sunday, she asked Xiaolan to go shopping, just to talk to her about this matter again in detail, to warn Xiaolan to be wary of Shuiyue Yingsheng, a scumbag, and to stay as far away from him as possible.

For the sake of her best friend, she even made up her mind to expose her family's dirty laundry and tell Xiaolan about her and her sister's affairs, just to make her more vigilant.

But the result...

She still remembers Xiaolan's expression and words that day clearly.

It was in front of the exquisite glass window of a dessert shop, where the air was filled with the rich aroma of cream and the subtle fragrance of fruit. They sat at a small round table. In front of Xiaolan was a strawberry mousse and black tea, while in front of her was a chocolate cake and a latte.

"Mizuki-kun has already told me about this."

With her slender fingers gently holding the delicate golden spoon, Xiaolan stirred the black tea with surprising calmness.

Sonoko was stunned for a long time, unable to understand why Ran had spoken so casually. It wasn't until later that she realized that Ran seemed to be intentionally imitating the scumbag Mizuki Hotaru's mannerisms in order to convey her meaning more accurately.

“I’m so sorry, Sonoko, I didn’t listen to your advice;”

But Mizuki-kun said he wouldn't feel sorry for you and Ayako-san; he was more inclined to believe it was an emotional exchange and he didn't think he was wrong.

Of course I disagree with his point of view. He did a very bad job in this matter and is indeed a scumbag.

However, I later discovered that he seemed to be missing something, as if he was lacking something.

He seemed to...

It's like having no heart.
