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

"Mr. Amuro, what brings you here?"

"Your affair has been exposed, Mr. Shuiyue."

Toru Amuro smiled.

Add another one, together tomorrow.

Chapter 252 Amuro Tooru, who fell into the spider web, felt very lucky.

"Sonoko and I aren't in the kind of situation you're thinking of, and Ran knows that too." Hotaru looked towards the arena.

Xiao Lan, who was resting on the edge of the court, gave him a thumbs-up from afar, slowly turned it over, and tapped it twice.

Hotaru looked innocent, shrugged, and turned to look at Amuro Tooru, who had already sat down next to him: "Is there any progress on the martial arts software, Mr. Amuro?"

"No, I just happened to be passing by and saw the karate competition banner outside, so I thought I'd just come in and take a look."

Amuro Tooru glanced at the group of enthusiastic Beika High School students on his right and laughed, "Turns out this is where the noise is the loudest. I walked over and saw Mr. Suigetsu."

Hotaru turned around: "It's good to relax from time to time, but don't forget my request."

"Well, we'll speed things up. Mr. Mizuki has quite the capitalist air about him."

Amuro Tooru also looked at the arena. It was now the quarterfinals selection. Although the quality was still somewhat uneven, the entertainment value of the fights was obviously much higher than yesterday.

After observing for a while, he said, "These people are definitely no match for Miss Lan."

"I've said before that we should set our goals higher; this match is just a starting point."

Ying Sheng watched intently, and only when the red player finished off his opponent with a beautiful flying kick did he nod approvingly: "Although it was a bit too forceful, the timing was quite accurate. It can be considered as nourishment for Xiao Lan."

Amuro said, "Mr. Suigetsu has high expectations for Ms. Ran."

"People strive for higher goals, so if you're going to do something, you should do it to the best of your ability."

Ying Sheng leaned back against the chair, looking up at the silver-white metal dome of the stadium. The surrounding tempered glass reflected the azure sky, and the blazing sunlight shone through it onto the field, like an angel's halo magnified a hundredfold.

Ying Sheng chuckled twice: "What if this thing shines into the contestants' eyes?"

Amuro Tooru glanced at it as well: "It should be able to control the opening and closing, and close when the angle is wrong."

"That makes sense. What school of martial arts does Mr. Amuro follow?"

"I've practiced some boxing casually, without any particular style. It's just something I do to protect myself when I occasionally encounter trouble as a private investigator."

"That's really impressive, you're a natural talent. Xiaolan said you're much better than her."

"After all, he's a bit older. What school of martial arts does Mr. Shuiyue study? His insight was quite remarkable just now."

"Of course it's karate, and my master is Ran."

"Why didn't Mr. Shuiyue participate in the competition?"

"What else could it be but lack of strength?"

The phone rang. Hotaru glanced at it, shook his head, and hung up: "Is this guy in such a hurry? Mr. Amuro, could you please find out Kusano Kaoru's contact number and home address? She's the singer, a former member of the Earth Ladies Team. I want to get an autographed photo from her."

"I can give it a try."

"It would be best to do it before 8 p.m. tonight; if it's too late, I won't be able to visit."

"..."

Amuro Tooru was speechless: "Mr. Suigetsu, I'm a detective, not a wish-granting machine."

"Oh, that's a bit of a shame. Mr. Amuro, could you use the police system to check for me?"

Amuro Tooru looked confused: "Me? The police system?"

Ying Sheng was equally puzzled: "Don't detectives usually have a good relationship with the police? Is that not allowed?"

"...Generally speaking, it's not possible, but your classmate Kudo has a good relationship with the police, so perhaps it's possible."

"Then let's not, that would be too strange. Let me think, let me think... By the way, does Mr. Amuro imitate other people's handwriting?"

“…Mr. Shuiyue, if it’s a gift for a friend, you should put more thought into it.”

"Just tell me if you can or can't."

"will not."

Do you know anyone in the association?

"Mr. Shuiyue, why do you always have these strange ideas? Actually, there's nothing wrong with just explaining it to the other party. It's not a big deal."

"Okay, you're right."

Ying Sheng picked up his phone, pressed the redial button at the top of his call log, and the call connected instantly. Before the other end could speak, he said:

"At nine o'clock tonight, Crimson Rose, I'll treat you to a drink."

"OK~~"

Hua Ying's hopeful tone was drawn out for a long time.

After hanging up the phone, Amuro Tooru, who had been watching the game the whole time, sighed softly: "Mr. Mizuki really has a way with women."

"Oh, no, Mr. Amuro is much more handsome than me, and has a much stronger masculine charm. He'd definitely be more popular with women at bars than I am." Hotaru turned her head. "Just wondering, is Mr. Amuro married?"

Amuro shook his head with a smile: "No."

"You must have a girlfriend, right? Are you living together?"

"No, Mr. Shuiyue, are you here to provoke this lonely old man?"

"Eh???"

Ying Sheng's eyes showed surprise: "Mr. Amuro is so outstanding, it shouldn't be like this. Is there someone or something on your mind that you can't let go of?"

"Not at all, it's just that I'm used to it."

"Oh, okay? Shall we go to a bar together tonight? Let's experience a different kind of nightlife."

Amuro Tooru tilted his head and looked at him strangely: "Mr. Suigetsu, you seem to be a minor, don't you?"

"NONONO."

Ying Sheng looked serious and tapped his head: "Although I look like I'm still a minor, my consciousness has always been bathed in the light of the stars since time immemorial. I am one with that radiance, so you could call me an old monster."

"...You mean, you're mentally old enough?"

"correct."

"........."

Amuro Tooru decided that he would definitely report "Crimson Rose," the bar that sold alcohol to minors, later. But before that, he certainly couldn't miss such a great opportunity to gather information.

"Alright, I don't have anything to do tonight anyway." Amuro Tooru smiled. "Nine o'clock tonight, Crimson Rose?"

"Of course, see you there."

After saying goodbye with smiles, the two continued the competition, but not long after, the competition really ended.

After Sonoko Suzuki finished her phone call and returned, she sat down to Hotaru's right and stared intently at Tooru Amuro.

Amuro Tooru felt rather uncomfortable under her gaze, knowing that she had something to say to Hotaru, and tactfully stood up: "I have to go investigate Attorney Ki's financial situation."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Amuro, see you tonight." Hotaru waved.

"See you tonight."

Amuro Tooru left.

Sonoko immediately spoke up: "That wasn't done by my sister. She has never ordered anyone to be kidnapped."

"Did I say who the suspect was or who the kidnapped person was?" Ying Sheng tilted his head. "How did you ask?"

"I just asked her how far she investigated you, and whether she did anything too extreme." Sonoko hesitated for two seconds, then said somewhat awkwardly, "I told her you discovered you were being secretly investigated and that one of your lovers had been kidnapped, and that you came to me for help."

"Oh, that's alright. She just kept rejecting it?"

"My sister said she would stop the investigation and could even help you find that lady and ask you for her identity and address."

"How kind of you. So, that person is slandering Miss Ayako, right? Around 11 p.m. tonight, I'll hand him over to you. You can interrogate him carefully and find out why he did this. I would be very grateful if you could give me a conclusion in the end."

"This……"

Sonoko was conflicted; should she really do something like this, interrogating someone without permission?

Ying Sheng reminded him, "You might want to ask your sister's opinion; her reputation is directly threatened."

Sonoko narrowed her eyes slightly: "You're still doubting your sister, aren't you? If she agreed to your request to pass it on, or even couldn't wait, you'd assume it was her."

"Do whatever you want. Anyway, there are countless people who slander the Suzuki Group every day. Your public relations department probably can't even refute those kinds of rumors, so you can just ignore them completely." Hotaru changed the subject. "Have you contacted your father? What about the Alzheimer's disease?"

Sonoko stared at Hotaru for a long time, then asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the kidnapping was all made up from the beginning? You just wanted to use it to put pressure on me? Let me make it clear beforehand, I don't participate in business negotiations, and my attitude is irrelevant to me."

"Think what you want."

"Suppose that person exists, what would you do now?"

"Break one leg and let him go, what else can you do?" Ying Sheng turned to look at him. "Could it be because I used too much force? Why do you seem to think of me as some kind of big bad guy who disregards the law?"

“…You always have been, ever since the first day we met…” Sonoko paused, then turned to look at the stadium. “I’ve already contacted my dad. The match here ends at five o’clock, and he sent someone to wait for us outside the stadium.”

Ying Sheng glanced at the time; it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. Time really flies.

"Can I ask you for one more favor?" Ying Sheng asked.

"Speak first," Sonoko said without even looking at him.

"Could you help me find Kaoru Kusano's contact information and home address? I'd like to visit her with Ran later and ask her for an autographed photo."

"...I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."

"Huh? Isn't this a simple matter for the Suzuki Group?"

"But I'm a single person, you know. Do you expect me to call my dad for something like this? That's weird, okay? And," Sonoko looked at her coldly, "you asked me to help you find out the details of your date with Ran. Isn't there something wrong with that?"

"I'm so sorry, but you and Xiaolan are best friends, so are you alright?"

"Hmph, it's not good at all."

"Don't say that, or I won't dare to respond."
