Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 75: Xiaolan, let’s meet in life and death!
Kudo Shinichi sighed, picked up the plastic bag in his hand and put it on the sink.

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

"Puch-"

Xuesong Qingzi covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's too rude to ask guests to prepare their own food." There was a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Kudo-kun, you are not afraid that I will poison you, right? I can taste every dish first."

"..."

Kudo Shinichi was silent for a few breaths and didn't want to go around in circles with her anymore.

"You should be very clear about my purpose."

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

Xuesong Qingzi said casually: "Anyway, I didn't do anything, so you can doubt me if you want.

Really, the identity of a detective is really useful. Mr. Maori's excessive behavior was explained as an accident, and it was also wrapped in a layer of conspiracy. He won't be sentenced, right?"

"He was innocent."

"Of course, the detective and the police said so. Of course he is innocent. It's all the hospital's fault. And the man who committed suicide, what was his name? He just wanted to die. It had nothing to do with Mr. Maori's provocation."

Who is this?!
That person clearly died for you, why are you still pretending to be so innocent? !

Kudo Shinichi said coldly: "Manmaku Izakaya, do you have any impression of this place?"

Xue Songqingzi recalled for a moment and shook her head: "Maybe, maybe not, what's the matter?"

"Your mother was framed in that area, Uncle Maori was ambushed there, and Gaoyuan Yi often went there to drink. What do you think happened? There must be someone who often goes there and is very familiar with the terrain.

Xuesong, who do you think that person is?"

"How should I know? Isn't this the job of you police and detectives? Haven't you investigated it?"

"Someone saw you around there!"

"Really? What does that mean? Where is the pub you mentioned? Let me think back and see if I've ever been there when I was bored."

hateful!

Kudo Shinichi clenched his fists, his eyes full of fire. This guy spoke very flawlessly and it was impossible to find any flaws in his words!

"correct."

Xue Songqingzi was marinating the beef while reminding: "We are outside here, are you sure you want to say this?"

Kudo Shinichi's expression paused slightly and he looked towards the kitchen next door.

There was no sound from there, and he was so arrogantly provoked by Xuesong Qingzi that he forgot about it for a moment.

Is the person on the other side listening to them the whole time?

Does he want to go over and take a look?
In the kitchen No. 1 next door, Yingsheng, who was cutting tofu and practicing his knife skills, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Qingzi definitely did it on purpose, but it's hard to say whether she had any ill intentions. She probably just wanted to see who occupied the kitchen she wanted to use.

But she was used to ordering men around, so even if it was something that could be done easily, she would habitually instigate others to help him complete it.

But having said that, using her tongue is indeed something that she can do easily.

It’s just that Mr. Detective’s emotions were easily provoked, and he was still a little restless.

There were clear sounds of footsteps approaching this side, and Yingsheng turned his head to look at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan had been moving very slowly, and after hearing the noise over there, she almost stopped.

But as soon as she noticed Yingsheng's gaze, she gritted her teeth, quickened her movements, and put the red pepper at hand into the smoking oil pan.

She didn't do anything!
Why are you feeling so guilty?

Yingsheng nodded in approval and continued to work. He had a colleague who could cut a person into pieces in a very short time. It was said that she had a specialty, Wensi tofu. Suddenly, the air was filled with spicy smell. Yingsheng breathed gently through the mask, and felt that tears and snot were about to come out.

Ah… “Cough, cough, cough!”

Familiar taste.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

Another more violent cough sounded from the side of the curtain, "Ah~Ah~~!! Cough cough cough cough!!!"

It was so heart-wrenching that I almost coughed my lungs out.

The footsteps faded away quickly, and the coughing became distant. Yingsheng suddenly realized something and gave Xiaolan a thumbs up.

It turns out it was all premeditated!

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless and didn't dare to answer. She was holding her breath and her face was almost turning red.

Didn’t the old lady who spoke in a strange Japanese accent say that this was the lowest level of spiciness when she recommended it?

This is the minimum?!

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

The proprietress hurried to the door, took a breath, and ran out again, coughing violently. In the mist, the smoke alarm beeped loudly, and the range hood ran at full power with a loud noise. Some pots and pans from the next door accidentally fell to the ground with a clattering sound.

There was chaos in the two kitchens.

As the proprietress was about to go berserk, Yingsheng uttered two mysterious words in a trembling voice that was almost hoarse, which immediately softened the proprietress's expression.

"Add money!"

When the fire was turned off, the smoke in the kitchen finally dissipated gradually. Yingsheng and Xiaolan, who had never gone out to avoid it, were almost smoked by the smell.

"I say, ahem, that's not the case." Yingsheng's eyes were red as he lay by the sink and kept washing his face. "Is Kudo so scary? I felt like I almost died."

"It's none of your business. You didn't go out either."

Xiaolan also lay on another pool to wash her eyes, but perhaps because of her strong lung capacity, her voice was not affected at all, which made Yingsheng completely speechless:
"Guess what I'm doing this for, and if you're talking so loudly now and Kudo hears you, won't all your suffering be in vain?"

Xiaolan's movements froze slightly, but she immediately gritted her teeth, straightened her back, and walked to the partition curtain with an air of whistling wind and cold water, and raised her hand to lift it up.

wow-

As the mountains and rivers rolled back, the situation on the opposite side was revealed. Pots and pans were scattered all over the ground, and the building was empty.

Xiaolan's aura immediately dissipated, and turned into a feeling of relief, which made Yingsheng roll his eyes, wipe his hands, turn around and walk out:

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

"Don't!"

Xiaolan quickly turned around and looked at Yingsheng with a pleading look, but Yingsheng did not stop:
"Your intermittent heroic and tender little girl attitude makes me feel uncomfortable. I must let you face life and death today."

"…………"

Xiaolan went berserk: "What the hell are you talking about!"

"Hey, hey, you're good at civil wars but not good at foreign wars. That's what I'm talking about." Seeing that Xiaolan was about to come over to stop him, Yingsheng sped up and ran out:

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

"asshole!!!"

Xiaolan's eyes twitched wildly and she quickly followed.
