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

Bang-!

After a muffled thud, a man screamed in agony. Ying Sheng still covered his ears with both hands. When the scream subsided, he opened the door and pulled the man out.

He was a tall, handsome young man wearing a white jacket, but at this moment his face was flushed red, and he was lying on the ground curled up like a spicy crayfish.

"Mr. Shirakura, it's you!"

The woman exclaimed in shock when she saw the person on the ground.

Ying Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw a magnetic disk that fell down as the person fell.

That's really great; someone actually helped find clues.

wrong.

Ying Sheng kicked him in the face, shoving his curled-up body away, and asked coldly from above:

What was the motive for the attack?

Bai Cangyang, lying on the ground, was panting heavily, looking at Ying Sheng in horror, but he didn't say a word.

Hey, another die-hard.

Ying Sheng covered his ears with both hands again, and stepped on Bai Cangyang's left hand fingers with one foot, repeatedly grinding them down.

Bai Cangyang screamed in agony, but Ying Sheng's voice was even louder as he sternly rebuked him:

"Say!"

"Photos! Photos of me in women's clothing!"

Shirakura Yo had never experienced such excruciating pain before, and he couldn't help but scream out.

Ying Sheng was stunned.

what's that?

Okay, a photo of someone in women's clothing, this can be a reason for murder... Hmm, it doesn't seem that hard to understand. This world is really interesting.

"Not only that, the professor not only refused to give me the photo, but he also used photos of me before my plastic surgery to humiliate me, saying he would send them to a magazine. I'm a model, you know! If he did that, my life would be completely over!"

Shirakura Yo continued to defend himself.

"I...I just acted impulsively! It's all the professor's fault, he's the one who's in the wrong..."

"OK, OK, whatever you want."

Yingsheng interrupted, picked up the magnetic disk from the ground, and looked at it. There was no label, so he couldn't see anything.

"I came here for the floppy disk, there can't be only one, right? Tell me the truth, or I'll suffer the consequences."

Bai Cangyang swallowed hard, not daring to hesitate for a moment: "I parked the car on the street corner. There's a storage box on it. All the magnetic discs I found in this room are there. The one you have is what I plan to use to set up my escape plan, but I haven't started yet..."

"No need for such details, what's your car like?" Ying Sheng interrupted again.

"It's...it's a black BMW."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Hotaru turned to look at the woman who was squatting next to Hirota Masami and asked curiously, "Is she dead?"

The wife's eyes showed both fear and relief, and she quickly shook her head: "She's still breathing, thank you, sir."

"You're lucky. When the police asked, you just said I was Shirley's friend, and that was it, you left."

Ying Sheng turned and went out.

Bai Cangyang watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally couldn't suppress his obsession any longer and shouted:

"That disk! Please..."

“I will send it to Shizuoka Prison, Ms. Shirakura.”

Ying Sheng found it quite amusing. He said, "If you want a photo of yourself in women's clothing, why don't you just wear women's clothing and take one yourself? Why go through all this trouble, which almost led to someone's death?"

However, if what he said is true, then Hirota Masami does indeed seem to have a rather sharp tongue.

Bang-!

In the blink of an eye, Hotaru was already sitting in the driver's seat of the car he had come in, a silver-gray Honda S2000 with a top speed of 240 km/h. Beika Town is about 180 kilometers away from Shizuoka City. Including the urban area, Hotaru drove for about an hour.

“Haa ...

Ying Sheng yawned again and slowly drove to the corner. Sure enough, there was a black BMW. He got out to look for the storage box containing the magnetic strip. Qingzi spoke with great interest through his earpiece:

"Will I see a news report tomorrow morning about a car thief who died in a crash due to fatigue?"

Ying Sheng shook his head and chuckled: "Hey, even if there's a car thief, it'll be you, okay? Besides, the faster the car goes, the more energetic I am."

Kiyoko retorted, "Then it's not like he stole anything. Mr. Nakatani said that I can use his things whenever I want."

"Is it okay if I don't say anything?"

"He's already asleep, it wouldn't be right to disturb him."

"Haha, did he use this car to pick you up for dates before? It's a convertible, aren't you worried about your hair getting messed up by the wind?"

“Mr. Nakatani has three cars. I used to ride in a Rolls-Royce, which was for my exclusive use.”

"It's so good to be rich! How's things going on your end?"

Kiyoko's tone became slightly more serious: "It's terrible. The phone number that Miyano Akemi left at the real estate agency in this safe house is the same number she uses. Even if we don't leave any clues, the brewery might still find us."

I installed a bugging device in the landline at the safe house, and Sherry called very quickly. After listening to Miyano Akemi's message, she said, "Sister, I will find you. Wait for me," and then hung up.

Ying Sheng suddenly realized, "So Ai asked for the recording pen before because of this? Then it seems she won't call again. Let's put that matter aside for now and see how the brewery senses things. Kiyoko, what industry does Mr. Nakatani work in? Is it possible for him to switch to pharmaceuticals?"

bang——

After placing the storage box and closing the trunk, Hotaru began his return journey to Beika Town.

Kiyoko smiled and said, "Compared to the fact that we can't communicate openly here, it would be most convenient for Hotaru-kun to go to your Suzuki classmate. The Suzuki Group is the number one in Japan. If you want to conduct A-drug research independently outside of the brewery, they are definitely the first choice."

"what……

That's correct, but there are a few minor issues.

"Hmm? You can't bear to do it?"

Chapter 230 Unfulfilled Desire! Kiyoko Wants a Promise!

“Participating in the development of drug A is a great thing, and it will also benefit the Suzuki Group. I haven’t hurt anyone, so how could I not be willing to do it?”

Ying Sheng drove onto the main road and floored the accelerator. A fierce wind howled, and the night air was chilly. The world outside his eyes rushed past, and the tortoise and snake in the sky slowly coiled up.

He finally perked up a bit, shaking his head and chuckling:

"No, why do you even think that way? All I weigh is the difficulty, the advantages and disadvantages, whether I can bear it or not. Ha, how naive, Kiyoko."

"Oh……"

Kiyoko's tone dipped for a moment for no apparent reason, but she quickly regained her composure: "Does Hotaru-kun think that contacting the Suzuki family would be troublesome? It should be a piece of cake for you."

"It's not difficult, but if I'm tied to the interests of drug A's development, I'm afraid it will be hard for me to extricate myself later."

Ying Sheng sighed softly: "To put it simply, if I get to know either Miss Ayako or Suzuki better, to be on the safe side, they will most likely take me to meet their parents. And with the huge profits from Drug A on the table, they might even try to get me engaged."

Kiyoko chuckled: "Isn't it a bit much? Isn't Hotaru-kun a little too self-conscious?"

"Perhaps. I'm just a pretty boy, nothing special. But if you had witnessed Aphrodite's birth in the river, you would probably understand better just how miraculous Drug A truly is."

Its value is immeasurable; even at the most conservative level, it is on par with a nuclear bomb, enough to usher in a new era.

If research continues, it will surely promote human evolution; it is simply the apple that Eve picked in the Garden of Eden.

It is desire, but even more so, it is the future.

Ying Sheng's tone was quite regretful, and the sound of the whistling wind reached Qing Zi's ears, giving her a strange sense of remoteness, as if it were an echo from ancient times, reverberating around her across the long passage of time.

Humans and apes parted ways, their paths crossed only by a few stones...

Human evolution is just around the corner!

but,

but……

Why pursue something like this?

What does human evolution have to do with her?

"Hey, Hotaru-kun."

Kiyoko said softly, "I've always been curious about what you're looking for."

"Isn't the affection obvious?"

Ying Sheng chuckled: "Qingzi, I've told you many times, don't overthink it. That kind of thing is meaningless. Just keep your eyes on the ground and see things clearly, that's enough."

Kiyoko remained silent for a long time: "Love, murderous intent, these are just your sustenance, aren't they? What comes after that?"

“Survival is everything, there’s no such thing as after that, Kiyoko, you…”

"I love you, Hotaru, I love you so much."

[Love +3]

A thought flashed through Ying Sheng's mind, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. So, Qingzi really can control whether or not she gives her heart?

That's really impressive.

Ying Sheng smiled slightly: "I love you too, Qingzi. Thank you for your nurturing. You are indeed special."

"Oh, do you believe this yourself?"

"Of course I believe it, it's absolutely true."

Ying Sheng looked up at the starry sky, at the tortoise and snake figures under the starlight, and after a long while, just before plunging off the cliff, he sighed softly and turned the steering wheel sharply.

Chi chi chi——! ! !

Amidst the screech of tires and billowing white smoke, Ying Sheng burst into loud laughter, the sound echoing through the night sky.

"Qingzi, I have grown because of you."
