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

Shinichi Kudo's eyes flickered slightly: "You've read the original English version of 'A Study in Scarlet' that you gave me, haven't you?"

"What do you mean?" Ying Sheng asked, his eyes filled with confusion.

"It's nothing, see you later."

Shinichi Kudo walked out and closed the door from the outside.

As the last wisp of dark and inexplicable vision dissipated, Ying Sheng yawned, turned over and lay down on the sofa. Looking at the exhaust fan mesh, which was yellowed from cigarette smoke, and listening to the whooshing sound of the exhaust fan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Does reading detective novels mean you understand detective fiction?

Kudo's logic is really strange.

To take this a step further, his statement that he's not interested in reasoning implies a cover-up, which, combined with the organization's stance, suggests a major problem is at play.

Ha, that's inexplicable.

However, to be fair, this guy's intuition is indeed sharp. I wonder if he can figure out out of thin air that he's playing another trick, and that before Vodka dialed an unknown number, Ying Sheng's dialing was in a waiting state.

Megure's reverse tracking program couldn't track Vodka; it could only track the places Hotaru wanted them to go.

Akemi Miyano's safe house.

Speaking of which, it would be quite amusing if Kiyoko had missed something during the last search and Kudo, with the help of the police, discovered it this time.

Probably not.

Besides, even if the distillery is completely useless, with the clues he provided, they should have gone there to investigate.

I really hope they meet, so he can gracefully retire and move on to tonight's social event.

The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Sato Miwako came in carrying a steaming cup of tea. She glanced at Hotaru lying on the sofa, said nothing, put down the teacup, turned and left, closing the door slightly behind her.

"Wow, Officer Sato is so considerate."

Ying Sheng stretched out his finger and tested the temperature in the teacup. He then took out his hand, pinched the teacup, and with a shake and a pause, a small vortex was created in the teacup.

With the enhancement of murderous intent, the vortex lingered, and the sound of boiling water instantly rang out. Hot steam surged towards the exhaust fan outlet on the ceiling, sucking away the dark yellow grime that had accumulated on the damp mesh over the years.

Although it can't be completely cleaned, it looks much better than before.

Ying Sheng squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

There was nothing to pass the time, no clock to look at, and the passage of time became unclear. The three pale faces that I saw kept spreading in my vision, gradually merging into one and covering the whole world.

A drowsy feeling gradually crept over him, and Ying Sheng closed his eyes, entering a dreamless void.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he was awakened from his peaceful slumber.

"Brother Shuiyue, Brother Shuiyue!"

Opening her eyes, she saw Inspector Megure's somewhat chubby face. Megure stepped back a little, and the light was a bit too bright. Hotaru raised her hand to shield her eyes, and after a moment, asked, "What time is it? Is there something you need?"

"It's 7:30 pm, Brother Shuiyue, I'm really sorry about this."

Megure Juzo's tone was full of apology. When he saw Hotaru peeking at him through his fingers, he quickly handed over his phone: "Thank you for your help, Brother Suigetsu. Where are you going? I'll drive you there."

Ying Sheng reached out and took the phone. There was a missed call from about ten minutes ago, and the name was Okino Yoko.

"Should we go back to the past?" He looked at Inspector Megure.

"No need, no need." Inspector Megure quickly waved his hand. "We already know that you, Brother Suigetsu, are innocent. We were just overthinking things before, we..."

"Hello, Ms. Yoko, this is Mizuki. I'm sorry, I had something to take care of just now," Hotaru said.

While Inspector Megure was speaking, Hotaru had already called Yoko Okino back and put the call on speakerphone.

Inspector Megure immediately shut his mouth, and then he heard:

“Mr. Shuiyue, my house has been disturbed again. I would like to ask about the security camera.”

Yoko Okino's tone carried a hint of relief.

Ying Sheng said, "You should have a computer at home, right? You can check it by removing the camera's magnetic card. This involves your privacy, so I won't go over there. After that, no matter who that person is, I think you can handle it yourself. Contact me if you need anything."

"I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

Yoko Okino expressed her gratitude, and Hotaru responded politely. A moment later, he hung up the phone and casually told the curious Inspector Megure about what happened last night.

"Oh, I see. It's really dangerous for someone to break into your idol's home."

Megure nodded with a serious expression. How could the crime rate in Beika Town be so high? Would he really never be able to get promoted in his entire life?

Ying Sheng rolled over and stood up from the sofa, stretched, put away her phone, glanced at the door, and seeing it empty, asked curiously, "Where's Kudo?"

"Kudo, that guy..."

Megure's gaze inexplicably turned distant as he sighed softly, "He's still investigating. He's truly dedicated, even more so than the police in his pursuit of justice."

“He’s a really good guy, especially when it comes to pursuing the truth. He can be a bit annoying, but you can’t really hate him,” Ying Sheng asked. “Could you tell me a little about what happened today?”

I need to know what stance I should take with the organization afterward, and whether my identity as an informant has been exposed.

Inspector Megure thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Let's talk about this on the way. Where is your get-together? I'll take you there."

"Kanagawa Prefecture, I'll ask for the specific address."

Hotaru dialed Ran's number. A bonfire party was being held in the forest, and the atmosphere was quite lively. After learning that Hotaru was alright and that Inspector Megure would drive him over, Ran immediately said that she wanted Inspector Megure to try her barbecue as well.

"Haha, I'd better not disturb your young people's gathering. Don't worry, Xiaolan, I'll bring Brother Shuiyue over soon," Inspector Megure laughed.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Megure. But Mizuki-kun could have come by himself, right?" Ran said.

"I need to talk to you about some things on the way. Kudo pulled this stunt, so he has to give me an explanation." Hotaru smiled. "Inspector Megure, there are a lot of people over there who are also concerned about Kudo's situation. At least give them a general overview of the case's outcome."

"Ah haha, this..."

Megure scratched his head awkwardly: "Let's wait for the police report later. Kudo is still investigating."

Ying Sheng frowned slightly: "This is so troublesome. Won't Kudo be in danger?"

"No, no, how could there be any danger?" Inspector Megure quickly waved his hand. "Kudo, you're fine. I'll talk to Suigetsu on the way." He then looked at his phone. "That's all, Ran, have fun."

Hotaru was quite satisfied with his second confirmation, and Kudo, of course, couldn't be allowed to get into trouble.

In particular, nothing can happen when it involves him, and even more so, nothing can happen if Xiaolan finds out that it involves him.

"Alright, Xiaolan, see you later."

"Well, see you later."

Xiao Lan's tone seemed normal, but Ying Sheng could tell that there was a hint of ease in her deliberately lighthearted manner.

It's easy to imagine that she had considered some terrible outcomes before.

such as……

No, there are no examples.

Now that a world where no one gets hurt has been achieved, isn't everything a happy ending?

"Xiao Lan, I have something to tell you!"

Not far away, Yuanzi ran over quickly.

Xiaolan put away her phone and greeted him with a smile: "What's up, Yuanzi?"

Daily routine continues.

At the Tokyo Police Hospital, Hotaru had already stepped out of the gate. He glanced back and saw that the shadows of the building in the twilight were closer to what he had seen last time.

He raised his hand to feel the wind direction, stroked his chin thoughtfully, and followed Inspector Megure's footsteps, getting into the passenger seat of his gray-blue Toyota Prius.

The car slowly started moving. Inspector Megure glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Hotaru looking down at his phone. He smiled and said, "Brother Mizuki, are you replying to that Miss Ryuka? What's that joke you're talking about? Can you share it with me?"

"I was just checking the weather forecast so it wouldn't spoil the evening," Ying Sheng said casually.

"Oh, it's about a social event. The rain is definitely spoiling the mood."

Megure Juro slightly raised his gaze and glanced at the sky. The weather was quite nice this morning, but the sun wasn't so bright this afternoon. At this moment, dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and it really looked like it was going to rain.

He glanced southwest, where the sky was quite clear, and said, "It might rain in Tokyo tonight. The address Ran just mentioned is in Ebina City, so it shouldn't rain there."

"That's good. By the way, Inspector Megure, have tornadoes ever hit Tokyo before?"

"Huh? A tornado?"

Emergency

Chapter 0: Just kill all those who pry into the details.

"It's nothing, let's get back to what happened today," Ying Sheng said.

He was constantly coming up with new ideas for utilizing the [Berserk] skill, and Tornado was one of them.

But to achieve that scale, the consumption of killing intent would be absolutely enormous, and he is far from having that kind of wealth right now; it's just a thought.

If only we could harness the power of celestial phenomena, and unleash a tornado to destroy the police hospital, that would be absolutely exhilarating.

"Where should I begin..."

Megure paused for a few moments, then asked, "Brother Shuiyue, do you really know nothing about your research on your parents?"

Hotaru chuckled: "If I'm still a suspect, you don't need to send me to Ebina City for any social gatherings. Just go straight to the Metropolitan Police Department."

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Inspector Megure quickly shook his head, realizing his question had been somewhat ambiguous. He apologized and continued, "It's like this, Brother Suigetsu, your parents seem to be researching some very advanced life sciences at that research institute, which involves enormous profits. And then..."

Ok……

Do you think they are good people or bad people?

Hotaru sighed softly, "Inspector Megure, you are a terrible storyteller."

However, I am not entirely ignorant about these things. I understand what you mean. They are conducting human experiments, right? The subjects are my former neighbor, Kiyoko Yukimatsu.

Actually, I'm a little curious about this. Kudo should have told you all of this, right? Why are you still acting like you don't know anything? What does that mean?

"Is Kudo really alright?"

Inspector Megure remained silent for a few moments, unsure how to respond. When a light rain finally began to fall from the sky, he casually skipped over that part and continued recounting what happened next, this time in a straightforward manner.

Excluding what Hotaru already knew, the outline of the afternoon and evening stories that Inspector Megure told him was as follows:
