The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

Xiaolan covered her face in silence, "And this will definitely not solve any problem, because there is no other detective who is better than Shinichi. And he also likes to solve cases, so Officer Megure will still look for him."

"The private detective industry in Tokyo is quite lively, right? Kudo doesn't even have a single competitor?"

"Have you seen any other detectives in the newspapers?"

"There is a man named Toru Amuro. Not only is he handsome, but he is also very good at finding cats. He is loved by rich women."

"..."

Xiaolan glanced at him sideways, and when she saw Yingsheng blinking at her in confusion, she turned back helplessly.

"Not only is Shinichi very efficient, but he also doesn't charge any fees. No one can compete with him. My father is also a private detective, and he hasn't received a serious commission for a long time. He even calls him a scab."

"No charge?" Yingsheng said thoughtfully, "What would happen if I asked him to help investigate the Yakuza who took my blood?"

"Ah? Did Shuiyue-kun really meet the Yakuza?"

"Such things are not important."

Yingsheng suggested: "It will be dangerous to investigate the Yakuza, and your karate is very good, Maori-kun. Let's act together with him. If you are a heart-throb lover, you can help your career, and your goodwill will definitely increase!"

Xiaolan's eyes lit up, "That makes sense. As long as I can help him, next time he solves a case, he won't let me go home alone!"

"Not only that, if you can help him a few more times, he will probably think of you when he looks at Sherlock Holmes."

Yingsheng cleared his throat.

"Oh, my dear Watson, my dear Lan, I need you, and you couldn't come at a better time."

Xiaolan's cheeks turned red and she tilted her head to face the wall, "You mean, let me become Shinichi's partner and assistant and go through those cases with him?"

"That's right!"

Yingsheng said resolutely: "We are both lovers and partners who share life and death. Is there any closer relationship than this in this world? Go ahead! Maori-kun!"

Xiaolan clenched her fists heavily, "I will definitely work hard!"

But within a few seconds, she became a little discouraged. "I actually tried reading mystery novels before, but maybe I just have no interest in this aspect. I can't read them at all, let alone the talent for reasoning."

"Just practice slowly and you'll be able to serve as a force first, then as an assistant."

Yingsheng raised his right hand, and the wide white sleeves naturally slipped down, "I was still wearing a sweater that morning. You were able to spot the wound on my wrist at a glance, which shows that at least you have good observation skills."

"Actually..." Xiaolan said weakly, "I smelled a faint smell of blood first."

"Have keen senses, an excellent talent as a detective."

"Eh...really?"

"Of course, I cleaned up for a long time that early in the morning, but you discovered it all at once. Just imagine, if you were at the crime scene, you might be able to find clues that Kudo ignored and point out the real culprit directly?"

"Well... Suigetsu-kun just stayed in that environment for too long and his sense of smell has become numb."

"Perhaps, but your talent is unquestionable."

Yingsheng thought for a while, "You are not interested in mystery novels. Maybe it is because of Kudo's Muggle performance that you have a prejudice against the detective industry. Otherwise, under the influence of your father since childhood, you should..."

"excuse me."

Xiaolan sat up suddenly, clenched her fists and waved them in the air, "My dad is actually a very bad guy!"

"Forehead……"

Yingsheng was stunned for two seconds, and then he sat up with his upper body propped up, "It's because of the poor performance of the two of them that made you disgusted with the detective..." He paused.

"Hey, that's not right!

Since you don't like this aspect, it would be too uncomfortable for you to force yourself to study for Kudo. "

Yingsheng scratched his head, "I am a practical person. I simply think that this will be beneficial to the development of your relationship in the future, and I am not unconditionally accommodating him. But if you can't accept it, then forget it."

Xiaolan hesitated for a few moments, then lowered her eyebrows slightly, "But I always have to do something."

"The Comprehensive Sports Conference of Colleges and Universities will start next weekend."

Yingsheng looked at the countdown hanging on the wall of the venue.

Big red, ten days!

"Moori-kun has also signed up for the karate competition, right? Let's win the championship in one go."

Xiaolan also looked up, thoughtfully, "If you win the championship, will Shinichi and I go on a date?"

"Idiot, do you still think you are not passive enough?"

"But you just said that was not accommodation."

"how about you?"

"I……"

"If you could really do it, you would have blocked Kudo on the rooftop and pushed back. Don't look at me with such strange eyes. I just gave a reasonable method before, and I didn't say that you must do it. Besides, Now it’s the other direction.”

"Well, the rational noble son is here again, and I would like to ask His Highness to give me some advice."

"forgive me."

Yingsheng smiled bitterly, and his face gradually became serious: "To put it simply, if you marry Kudo in the future, will you become a full-time housewife?"

"Eh...this question..."

"You are not allowed to run away, you are not allowed to turn your head, you are not allowed to look at me, you are not even allowed to blush, and you answer seriously."

Xiaolan was stunned, and turned her head stiffly to look at Yingsheng. The sight in those black eyes that seemed to be able to see through all pretense made her feel a little stinging, and she quickly turned her head away.

"Probably... yes."

"Why?"

“Isn’t that what Japan is all about?”

"So, are you willing?"

"What?"

"Knowledge, achievements, glory, and even self, you have never lost everything to anyone for many years. Because of the so-called love, you have to give up everything and completely become a appendage of a man. Are you really willing?"

There was another long silence. Inexplicably, Xiaolan suddenly thought of her mother.

Did she also face this kind of torture back then?

A long time, a long time...

"What exactly do you want to say, Suigetsu-kun?"

Xiaolan lowered her head, her tone a little dark and incomprehensible.

Chapter 17 Evolution failed, poor Lan

"It's just some cliche chicken soup, you should know that," Yingsheng said with a smile.

"I don't know." Xiaolan said.

"really?"

Xiaolan was silent again, burying her head for a long time, "Live for yourself, others are unreliable. If you bloom with butterflies, that's probably it, right? Of course I know all these, but... I can't do it. ”

"So that's it."

Yingsheng chuckled, "Do you have to be him?"

"yes."

"Even if it changes beyond recognition?"

"That's just a guess."

"And that's too far away?"

Xiaolan slowly closed her eyes, her voice muffled.

"right."

"Okay, whatever you like."

Yingsheng stood up with his hands and moved his legs. The pain was still there, but it was bearable.

"Willpower is really amazing. Senior, what is the next training?"

Xiaolan looked up at him, but did not get up.

"Suigetsu-kun must be very disappointed in me."

"It's like seeing an orchid swaying in the wind beside a clear spring and about to be transplanted into a greenhouse. There are indeed some, but not many. In the end, this is your own choice, and it is not anyone else's turn. Beak."

"Anyone else..."

"Everyone in this world is other than you."

Seeing Xiaolan thinking deeply again, Yingsheng smiled and said, "I always like to talk nonsense. Even the homeless people I meet in the park can talk for an hour. It's just oral gymnastics, don't take it too seriously."

Xiaolan sighed softly and stood up.

"Feel sorry."

"I told you it's okay. It's not bad to become a detective assistant. From now on, you two will be a husband and wife team.

I'm not interested in reasoning either, so I can't recommend it to you. Just ask Kudo to give you a book list. He will definitely be so happy that he takes off.

As for your disgust...

It would be enough to replace all those detectives as Kudo. His demeanor when solving crimes is indeed quite dazzling.

That's it, let's start a new training session. "

Xiaolan's eyes were quite complicated, but now that she had finished her words, she could only nod her head, concentrate on instructing Yingsheng to train wholeheartedly.

Then she discovered that Yingsheng was an absolute genius in practicing karate. Any movement she taught could be mastered at a glance, and she could also quickly draw inferences.

"Shui Yuejun, have you practiced before?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Yes, didn't you discover it before?"

"That's just body flexibility, which is different from systematic training. Suiyue-kun's body looks like...well, sorry, there aren't many traces of training."

"Just think that I have been idle for a long time, and now I will pick it up again and continue."

After a while, Xiaolan still couldn't help but ask: "Is it because of... hypoglycemia?"

"That's right."

Xiaolan pursed her lips tightly, feeling an inexplicable feeling of sympathy in her heart. When her parents had just separated, she had been depressed for a long time.

Suigetsu-kun's parents probably went too far, slitting their wrists to commit suicide... She was not wrong after all.

"Suigetsu-kun's parents..."

"They have gone on a business trip to a far away place and won't be back for a long time. Don't worry about it."

"oh……"

So the training continued, Xiaolan's eyes dimmed slightly and she said no more. Of course she could clearly detect that Yingsheng was not very interested.

As for the reason...

It's very clear, isn't it?

She is actually a very bad person.

It was getting dusk, and everyone else in the dojo had already left. Because Xiaolan and Yingsheng were so absorbed in training and it was so damaging to their self-confidence, no one even dared to come over and say hello.

It wasn't until Yingsheng's weak body finally couldn't hold on any longer and he fell to the ground dizzily that they realized belatedly that the surroundings were already silent.

Yingsheng waved his hand towards Xiaolan who hurriedly came to help her, "It's really hypoglycemia this time. Do you have any chocolate?"

"Wait a minute, I'll buy it right away!"

Xiaolan ran away in a hurry, and Yingsheng looked at the gloomy ceiling without thinking about anything. It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, a chocolate with its wrapper peeled off was handed to him.

Yingsheng deliberately raised his hand to pick it up, but as soon as he moved, the chocolate was placed on his lips.

He had to open his mouth.

Chew it gently and a hint of sweetness enters your throat.
