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

An angel has descended; I will be saved.

Angel.

Because of some past experiences, the first thing Shinichi Kudo thought of when he saw this word was Ran.

But after a brief moment of reflection, he realized that the person was definitely not her. Xiao Lan had been with Shui Yue all day and had not shown any kindness to Qing Liu Qian Su.

And, Wednesday, it's duty day, Kenta Nakamichi?!

A thought struck Shinichi Kudo, and he immediately called Kenta Nakamichi to inquire about what had happened that afternoon.

After hesitating for a while, Kenta Nakamichi asked somewhat awkwardly, "Is this matter that important?"

"It's extremely important; it concerns Aoyagi-kun's life!" Shinichi Kudo said solemnly.

"Ah? This...this..."

Kenta Nakamichi was speechless for a long time. Anxious Shinichi Kudo pressed him for an answer, and only then did Kenta grit his teeth and tell the truth he knew that day.

which is:

Ying Sheng secretly discovered that Qing Liu Qian Su was very beautiful and wanted to get close to her, but he didn't want Xiao Lan to know. So he asked Dao Jian Tai to go to the student life committee member and have Qing Liu Qian Su do the cleaning duty that day by herself. He would then go to help her and pretend to bump into her by chance.

However, when Hotaru later realized that he and Aoyagi Chisato were not a good match, he shifted the blame to Nakamichi Kenta, saying that he was just helping a friend who was too embarrassed to ask for help.

After finishing speaking, Kenta Nakamichi quickly added, "What do you mean this concerns Aoyagi's life? Is it related to Mizuki? If it's not related, please don't tell him about it. You absolutely must not say that I told him."

Shinichi Kudo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you very afraid of Suigetsu?"

"what?"

Kenta Nakamichi was taken aback, completely not understanding Shinichi Kudo's meaning. After a moment, he suddenly realized and said, "You could say that, Master... no, Miss Ishigaki was introduced to me by Mizuki because of this matter, you know, she..."

"It'll be alright, goodbye."

Before the other end could finish speaking, a slightly speechless Shinichi Kudo hung up the phone, remained silent for a few seconds, and his eyes flickered.

"Inspector Megure, I think Suigetsu is very suspicious."

What Shinichi Kudo knew, Inspector Megure also knew almost everything, and he had overheard the entire phone call. He wasn't stupid; he was capable of investigating the entire Third Division. After a moment's thought, he nodded and spoke in a deep voice:

“Mizuki-kun has appeared far too frequently in this series of events.”

Toru Amuro, Taku Itakura, Yoshiaki Hara, Vodka, Kiyoko Cedar, Shiho Miyano, Chiso Aoyagi.

Everyone became connected with Ying Sheng; no one would believe he was a completely detached bystander.

At least for now, Shinichi Kudo and Juzo Megure don't believe it.

But when it comes to what Ying Sheng specifically did or what role he played in these events, they really couldn't say.

They currently lack concrete evidence and a rigorous logical chain of reasoning.

No.

Perhaps there is one.

Megure Juzo looked at the word "Angel" on the notebook and said, "According to what your classmate just said, the 'angel' that Aoyagi Chisato refers to is Mizuki Hotaru, right? With this evidence, we can go and question him."

Shinichi Kudo shook his head: "I still think it's too strange to use this nickname to describe Mizuki. Besides, Nakamichi just said that after he made that call to Mizuki, he rushed back to the classroom, only to find that the cleaning duty had already been completed."

He thought that Shuiyue was very efficient and seamless, but I think that Shuiyue was always with Xiaolan and that someone else was the one who contacted Qingliu.

"You could probably verify this by asking other members of the karate club, and it might not even require that much trouble."

As he spoke, Shinichi Kudo turned to the next page of his notebook.

Perhaps it was due to the change in Aoyagi Chisato's emotions, but the account on this page was not as stream-of-consciousness, allowing him to glimpse more of the truth.

I'd been secretly watching her all morning, and it seems I got caught, but she didn't say anything.

I am truly sorry for breaking the Ten Commandments.

[At noon, the detective got into a fight over her and ended up in the hospital. She went with him, ruining the afternoon's gathering. What a pity.]

However, she kept chatting with me, which made me happy.

"!!!!!!"

Shinichi Kudo's pupils suddenly contracted; these few lines of text struck his mind like lightning.

A terrible thought suddenly arose in his heart, his breathing became rapid, his fingers trembled slightly, but his fingertips still gripped the page tightly and did not move an inch.

"She, the angel," refers to Kiyoko?

But Kiyoko spent the whole afternoon with him on Wednesday!

Shinichi Kudo's mind was in chaos. He felt the world was silent, and his heart was pounding in his ears.

Actually, after his previous speculation about Sato Miwako's identity, he could understand this kind of thing.

It's a disguise technique.

He's Kaito Kid, right?

However, once he recalled his time with Kiyoko these past few days, he couldn't calm down.

Who exactly is that person in his eyes?!

"Brother Kudo, Brother Kudo!"

His unusual behavior was eventually noticed by Inspector Megure, who called out to him with concern.

"I'm fine!"

As if his tail had been stepped on, Shinichi Kudo hurriedly responded. He shook his head violently, almost shaking his brain to its core, and finally slapped himself hard across the face. His consciousness finally returned, and his eyes lit up.

"With this evidence, the partnership between Mizuki and Kiyoko is confirmed."

Megure Juzo didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that Shinichi Kudo had returned to normal, the worry and astonishment in his eyes quickly disappeared.

As long as Kudo isn't insane, that's good.

Shinichi Kudo quickly flipped to the next page, which contained only one sentence.

I haven't seen her all day, I'm so sad.

The next page is blank.

He continued flipping through the pages, only to find blank sheets of paper with no further records.

What about yesterday's diary entry, Saturday?

forgotten?

I haven't had time to write because of other things.

As Shinichi Kudo pondered, before he could find any clue, a scream came from the outer living room.

It was Chiba Kazunobu's voice. I don't know what happened to him, but his scream was so shrill and piercing, it sounded like the scream of the most timid woman.

Without a moment's hesitation, Shinichi Kudo and Juzo Megure rushed out, guns raised, searching for the enemy.

But the living room was empty; there were no enemies there.

Their gazes swept around the room and landed on Chiba Kazunobu, who was slumped on the ground, crawling backward on his hands and feet, his face filled with terror.

Directly in front of him was a refrigerator with its door wide open!

The living room lights were on, much brighter than Aoyagi Chisato's bedroom, and there was also a warm yellow light in the refrigerator.

However, seeing Chiba Kazunobu's terrified expression, when Shinichi Kudo glanced at the refrigerator again, he felt that it was gloomy and chilling!

He and Inspector Megure exchanged a glance, both harboring their own suspicions.

Chiba Kazunobu is a proper detective, so only that kind of thing could frighten him into such a state.

"Chiba! Calm down!"

Megure stepped forward, controlling himself to avoid looking at the refrigerator, and said in a low, stern voice.

Chiba Kazunobu trembled, his lips parted slightly, but no sound came out. It wasn't until Inspector Megure walked in front of him, blocking his unmoving gaze, that the weight in his heart finally lifted, and he gasped for breath, his chest heaving.

Finally, he spoke, his voice trembling:

"Heads, three heads! They were all staring at me when I opened the refrigerator!"

"!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!"

Both Inspector Megure and Shinichi Kudo felt a sudden chill run down their spines. Damn it, it really was some pervert who did this!

Shinichi Kudo resisted his curiosity and didn't look at the refrigerator, but a question suddenly popped into his mind.

Three?

Before he could think it through, Chiba Kazunobu uttered the next sentence, which contained the answer, and that was why he was so terrified.

"And, and... one of the faces is one we just saw."

"What?!!!"

Shinichi Kudo could no longer bear it and turned to look. In that terrifying scene that made him lose his mind, he finally saw that familiar face at the very top.

I did see it just now.

"Aoyagi Chisato!!!"

An indescribable sense of immense chaos surged into his mind once again, and in an instant, Shinichi Kudo felt as if the world had shattered.

Who was the person they met before?

Did Kiyoko really come here?

Is Kiyoko real or fake?

Who is she?

A series of bizarre and confusing questions churned in Shinichi Kudo's mind, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his clear vision gradually became muddled...

Snapped--!

A crisp slap echoed in the living room. Shinichi Kudo trembled and turned his head blankly. His unfocused gaze gradually focused on the figure of Inspector Megure.

"Brother Kudo, where did your usual composure go?"

Megure Juzo's tone was heavy, even carrying a hint of disappointment: "I've encountered beheadings before, and you've always managed to stay calm. Why couldn't you do it this time?"
