Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 73 Hush, keep your voice down, Kudo is here!

The winery intelligence team is very efficient.

Especially since the person who issued the order was Lady Shirley, who held a very high position in the organization and was quite mysterious, everyone's work enthusiasm was actively mobilized.

After all, this lord had assigned a fierce man like Gin to supervise the work. He stood at the door and glanced around coldly. All the civilian staff in the intelligence group were trembling with fear, as if there was a black muzzle of a gun on the back of their heads.

A lot of information came in from various channels and soon gathered into a complete picture in front of Gin.

Because there was an undercover agent planted in the police force by the organization, Gin took in almost every word of what he knew about the investigation of the three departments regarding Yuzuki Kiyoko.

"Tokyo Bay, Akagi Pier..."

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Gin noticed something interesting almost instantly, his lips curled slightly.

First, let's assume that the kid named Kudo Shinichi is really capable and the mastermind behind the scenes in his deduction is indeed a real person;

Secondly, Yukimura Kiyoko and Mizuki Hotaru were once neighbors, and judging by their performance, they were both mentally unstable.

Once again, the police went to Akagi Wharf to investigate at noon yesterday and found a highly decomposed body that was cast into cement. They are currently conducting a DNA test on the body and believe that the person may be related to the case of Yuzuki Kiyoko.

Finally, a week ago, Mizuki Hoto was pouring cement on someone in Tokyo Bay, and he attached great importance to the identity of the corpse. In order to avoid being seen by Vodka, he gave up the assassination and exposed himself!

The most crucial thing is that the police report recorded a photo of the oil drum containing the body.

The two ears that were almost rotten were touched by Vodka himself; he saw with his own eyes the half-broken hilt of the samurai sword being put back by Yingsheng with great effort!

What he saw that night perfectly matched what the police saw yesterday!

After such a simple review, the answer seems to be very clear.

The mastermind behind this is Mizuki Hotaru!
The smile on Gin's lips gradually widened. Could a madman like that actually have someone he cared about?
It's so interesting.

If you want to completely control a person, the best way is to grasp his weakness.

Gin was originally a little worried about how to completely control Mizuki Hotaru. He thought that a heartless guy, a guy who placed all his emotions on an illusory god, would not be able to build an intimate relationship with others and would have no weaknesses.

But now it seems he has at least one more.

Kiyoko cedar!

Although there is no evidence, Gin immediately imagined how the two of them met and got to know each other. Perhaps they were neighbors with a similar suffering, and like the puppies in the cardboard box in the park, they huddled together for warmth in the wind and rain.

Suddenly one day, Shuiyue Yingsheng's mental endurance reached its limit and he finally went completely crazy.

Kill relatives!
Free yourself from bondage!

This undoubtedly had a demonstrative effect on Xuesong Qingzi, which led to what happened in the past few days.

As for the part where Kudo Shinichi deduced that there was a mastermind behind the harm of Yuzuki Kiyoko, Kudo Shinichi could not figure out the reason and why that person did that.

But Gin understood it at a glance.

There is no doubt that it was out of Mizuki Yingsheng's possessiveness!

He couldn't stand having other men around Xuesong Qingzi. Even if it meant destroying her, he had to make sure that he was the only one in her world!

Even though that guy is also a promiscuous playboy, there's nothing we can do about it; humans are just double-standard.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what happened later, but Mizuki Hotaru seemed to have failed.

Oh, waste.

After Gin reasoned through all this, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally, which was even better than smoking a pack of cigarettes in one breath.

of course,

This is just a possibility and needs to be verified.

It will take time to find the wife and daughter of the homeless Banyuan who have moved to other cities, and it will also take time to conduct DNA testing and comparison. The report results are expected to come out tonight.

But Gin thought that this was definitely the case. Could there be any other possibility? However...

An hour later, facts proved to him that there seemed to be other possibilities.

DNA test comparison results:
No match!
Seeing this result, Gin frowned slightly. Isn’t the person in the oil barrel the vagrant Banyuan?
Tsk, in this case, wouldn’t all his previous speculations become castles in the air?
Gin originally thought that his reasoning was quite logical, but if the mastermind behind this was not Mizuki Hotaru, then why was he so self-indulgent during the brainstorming session?

Gin pressed the brim of his hat and turned to leave the intelligence team.

A pistol will get rusty if it's not used for too long. Let's go and complete some missions tonight... and collect a few debts at the same time.

"Vodka, report the results to Shirley."

"No problem, big brother!"

Fifteen minutes later, Shirley read through the information sent by Vodka and felt a little disappointed.

Mr. Detective has done a good enough job, but the mastermind behind the scenes is hiding deeper, and even the organization can't find his trace.

Sadly, there is no way to help.

Putting down her phone and leaving all distractions behind, Shirley began her experiment tonight.

And the last thought is: What are those four people doing now?

Beika-cho 1-chome.

Qingyuan private kitchen.

Yingsheng carefully cut out a super thin slice of Wagyu beef, let out a long breath through the mask, and asked with a smile:
"What do you think is most like it?"

Xiaolan cut vegetables quickly and accurately. She glanced at the thin beef on Yingsheng's hand and thought:
"Next cut of beef?"

"Hahahaha, Xiaolan, you are such a genius!"

Yingsheng laughed and said, "That's right, this is the best way to hide something."

Change it, it's exactly the same!

That night a week ago, Yingsheng knew that the winery was concerned about who the person in the oil barrel was, so why did he just let it go until Kudo Shinichi discovered it?

The answer, of course, is that he had already dealt with it.

Hotaru doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so why did he insert the samurai sword into the cement in front of Gin that night?

To leave an anchor, of course!
In order to make Gin believe that the oil barrel has been the same from the beginning to the end and has never changed!

But in fact, it was just a replica.

No, no.

Anyway, no one has ever seen Itahara-san, so the person in there at the beginning was not him.

Hotaru smiled lightly, not knowing whether Gin cared about that later on. However, since Kudo ran into him by accident in the end, his hard work was not in vain.

crunch--

"I said, didn't you buy some vegetables? Why did you come here?"

After the door opened, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, and Xiaolan stopped cutting vegetables immediately.

"I can't possibly let you follow me home, you perverted detective."

The voice from outside continued to come, it was Xuesong Qingzi.

Yingsheng's eyelids twitched immediately. Does this world have to be so small?
