Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 60 The moon hides and the stars shine brightly!
Hotaru didn't know what was happening in the Metropolitan Police Department, but he thought that the obvious flaw in this subterfuge should not be difficult for Kudo Shinichi.

Kiyoko nodded slightly: "Mr. Kudo took people to Shibuya about an hour and a half ago to conduct an on-site investigation of the club where my mother stayed last night."

"The first time the phone was swapped was by me at Yamada Okao's house early yesterday morning. The second time was by you at the club. What method did you use?" Yingsheng asked.

"Pretty face."

"I see. It was your accomplice who left her contact information on her phone under an excuse, and then waited for an opportunity to replace her phone. The method is quite good. If this situation happens more than once, Kudo may not be able to find the target. The only thing is, can you absolutely control that person?"

"Actually, I wanted to ask Hotaru-kun for this."

Yingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this: "Could it be that you have very little control over him, and that what you told him was just a prank, and once he sees the police he will be so scared that he will tell them everything?"

Qingzi shook her head, "Why would I use someone like that? It's just... well, I think I went a little too far before. He knows that after the police investigate this matter, they might use it to coerce me and something bad might happen."

"Oh, so that's it."

Yingsheng laughed: "I will take care of this matter, but, Qingzi, I am sorry to say some boring male chauvinism. I promise you that you will never be alone from now on. Those useless minions should be abandoned."

Qingzi chuckled and nodded: "He who plays with fire will get burned. I understand."

"When you find a cockroach in the room, it has already spread out to places you can't see." Yingsheng said helplessly: "There must be more than one man ready to make a move. You are about to be retaliated for your years of behavior as a sea king."

"Most of it is fine. I will try my best to solve it properly. In this regard, can I ask Mr. Yingsheng for some experience?"

"I'm not after the money or sex of those women, and my situation is different from yours. But it's easy for you to solve it, right? Just give them a breakup fee, which means you should return them double the amount they spent on you.

The reason is simply that I don’t love you anymore. Feelings are so unpredictable.”

"Hey, so much..."

Qingzi said with some embarrassment: "There are some people I have explicitly told this to, but the effect is the opposite."

"Aren't you playing hard to get?"

"There are two who really aren't. I've even expressed my disgust directly, but they seem to be too deep in it."

"Aren't such minions very useful?"

Yingsheng smiled and said, "Just like Gao Yuanyi, let him experience the warmth he has never felt before, and enjoy the luxury that he could never achieve in his entire life. When he thinks he has received your extreme satisfaction and the extreme emptiness of revenge, he is willing to die for you."

"Ugh……"

Qingzi lowered her eyes slightly, "I am very grateful for Mr. Gaoyuan's kindness to me. It is really insulting to him to compare those rude guys with a gentleman like him."

"Get him drunk and find a prostitute as a substitute. I don't think you respect him much."

"Actually, I want to use the same method now, but if they find out, um... can I ask Hotaru-kun for help?"

Yingsheng glanced at her and said, "I won't do such a vile thing. Whether you can control the situation or not, you deserve it. And the lowest limit is a trap, and the highest limit is a murder. The police can easily find you.

You can't stand your parents' shameless behavior and the slander on campus, and you want revenge. This is even more excessive."

Qingzi sighed softly: "I am just an ordinary person, talent, psychology, and all aspects."

Yingsheng laughed: "Are you mocking me?"

Qingzi clasped her hands in front of her chest, looked up at Yingsheng slightly, and little stars lit up in her eyes.

"It's worship." "Hey, Qingzi, if I didn't want to plot against you, I would have asked you a week ago, why can't we extend the time? That way many things can be done more cleanly, and you can even do it alone."

Yingsheng shook his head: "I'm sorry, this clearly sounds like shirking responsibility, it's my fault.

The two people will follow the standard procedure. They will pack up all the things they give you except the ones you have used. It is best to classify them and record the time.

Now, go home first, and everything goes on as usual. This case has nothing to do with you from beginning to end. Nothing happened to you in the past week except having fun. "

Qingzi stood on tiptoe, and her red lips lightly touched Yingsheng's face like a feather.

"you are so kind to me."

She turned and left, as graceful as a startled swan.

Yingsheng smiled and said, "After this incident is over, Kudo will definitely pay great attention to you. I rarely see someone who can fully follow my thinking. He is a very interesting guy. I don't want to kill him yet."

Qingzi didn't look back: "And he is a very sharp sword, a very useful chess piece."

Yingsheng smiled bitterly: "If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. As far as solving the case is concerned, Kudo did a perfect job and is impeccable. Even if he was a little too obsessed with the case and didn't care about your reputation at all, how should I put it, you are indeed not completely innocent."

"But he can't be completely sure beforehand."

"This shows that he has a keen intuition and is full of confidence. Don't you think so? People who are born with talent and use it well, and shine in the areas they are good at and passionate about, are very attractive."

"..."

Qingzi was helpless: "Hinabu-kun really admires him. Do you see yourself in him? Do you think he is the same as you? But you don't have to mention this to me. Even if I want to take revenge on him, I don't have the ability to do so."

"Who knows about this kind of thing? Besides, it's not him I'm worried about, it's you."

"I understand, Mr. Moon."

Qingzi walked through the door without even a pause, leaving only the crisp sound lingering.

Yingsheng shook his head: "The moon..."

He looked back at the garden downstairs and saw Chiyoko carrying a mahogany food box, walking towards this side along the road covered with white jasmine flowers.

She was wearing a beige yukata, with her hair tied up. Her pale face was now slightly flushed. As if she had sensed Yingsheng's gaze, she raised her head, her bright eyes rippling with a gentle smile.

Yingsheng smiled back.

After Chiyo disappeared from his sight, Yingsheng returned to the sofa, took down two high-heeled glasses from the cup rack on the long table next to him, took the Bordeaux red wine that Kiyo had prepared for them, and poured half a glass for him and Chiyo.

Yingsheng finally leaned back on the sofa, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, his clothes half open, his drunken eyes looking at the door through the scarlet wine, waiting for her arrival.

"Ask, what else is there above the endless sky besides the sun and the moon?"

With a hint of crisp melody, Chiyoko's footsteps in wooden clogs slowly approached.

Yingsheng smiled lightly and drank the cup.

The wine goes down my throat, tasteless.
