The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

"tomorrow?"

Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion, "It will be fine tomorrow. This is just a minor injury."

"hiss--"

Yingsheng took a breath, "Xiaolan, you are actually a biochemical modified person, right?"

Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Call me senior."

"Forget it, I don't want to be special."

"Hmph, someone must have deliberately wanted to keep a distance from me before. He only called me by my last name."

"How do I know that everyone calls you by your name? I haven't paid attention to you before."

"I introduced myself when school started."

"Oh, I forgot about that."

Yingsheng finally understood, "You said before that I was polite to everyone, but it was actually a polite word. I guess it's because I don't have self-awareness, and I put on such a bad air that everyone keeps away from me."

"That's not the case. Maybe everyone would be a little concerned at first, but because Suigetsu-kun is really good, everyone will gradually get used to it."

"It started two weeks ago?"

"Always been this way."

"Oh, that's okay."

Yingsheng added two ice packs to the already heated water bucket and gently pressed his ankles, which made them numb. He then applied a little more pressure and grimaced in pain.

Will things really get better tomorrow?

"Did Mr. Shuiyue really want to destroy my right leg at that time?" Xiaolan also replaced an ice pack.

"Is the karate competition in nine days' time important to you?" Yingsheng asked.

"Very important."

"What about your life?"

Xiaolan was silent.

After a long sigh, "Did Mr. Shuiyue want to wake me up? But unfortunately, he failed."

"I really didn't expect you to be that strong. If I had known, I would have used the backup hidden energy switch." Yingsheng smiled, "But it should be somewhat effective. I consider myself a pretty good punching bag."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xiaolan snorted softly and looked at the piled folding chairs next to Yingsheng, quite speechless.

"Arm guards, elbow pads, wrist guards, leg armor and chest armor, plus the helmet and gloves from before the game. Why don't you just wear a full set of armor?"

"Haha, that one is too obvious and can't be hidden."

"So you really had a plan in advance, right?"

"It's just to take precautions before it happens, so as not to be directly beaten to death by the heroine's punch that breaks the stone."

"Hmph, I had some control at first."

"That's right, that kick almost knocked me unconscious." Yingsheng said helplessly: "I originally planned to defeat you in karate, but after that, I didn't dare to fight head-on even though I was wearing protective gear. All I can do is play some tricks.”

"Because I noticed that after you put on the protective gear, you started to use all your strength."

"Oh, it turns out I brought it upon myself."

"This is how you become a qualified punching bag." Xiaolan smiled softly, "It would be even better if you can't hide."

"Eh-then you'd better go hit the telephone pole."

"No, Shuiyue-kun should improve his physical fitness as soon as possible, so that we can practice better."

"I try my best... By the way, so you usually hold back your strength when sparring with others?"

"What else can we do?"

"There is no opponent in Didan High School, so just go to other schools to find one. Keep suppressing yourself and it will be a waste of talent."

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths, her voice muffled.

"oh."

"Yeah, you've never thought about this and been thinking about how to date Kudo."

"Why are you mentioning him again?"

"You thought of it first."

"No."

"Okay, then just pretend that I have nothing to say. What did you tell him after you went back yesterday? Something seems wrong with today's development."

Xiaolan was helpless: "I haven't told him yet."

"Why?"

"Do not want to tell you."

Yingsheng curled his lips, "I can make a pretty good guess. You must have fallen into a state of depression for no reason. After you wandered home, you still had to serve your terrible drunk father. Time passed in a flash. You didn’t call Kudo.”

Xiaolan glanced sideways: "Are you a stalker?"

Yingsheng shrugged, "Do you still need to follow me? You have a low-pressure look on your face. Who can't tell?"

"My dad didn't see it."

"That's why I decided that he was drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to discover his daughter's obvious psychological problems. After all, he is a detective."

Xiaolan opened her mouth, thinking that her father was actually quite unreliable when he was sober.

But forget it and save some face for him.

"Back to Kudo."

Yingsheng thought for a while, "You must have told him not to wake him up this morning, right? From this look, he was quite concerned about the accident the day before yesterday. You'd better not take the initiative until he stopped by himself. Find him, otherwise he will only become more disgusted with you."

"I know, you said yesterday that you were holding back."

Xiaolan sighed, "I don't know what kind of troublesome case it is, but even Shinichi couldn't solve it quickly."

She suddenly turned to look at Ying Sheng: "Didn't Suigetsu-kun be with Shinichi the afternoon before yesterday? Can you..."

"cannot."

"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"It's what you didn't want to hear yesterday. I don't want to talk about it now." Yingsheng glanced at her and said, "You can't help me anyway. It's useless even if you know."

Xiaolan was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Does Mr. Shuiyue have to be so sharp with his words?"

The corners of Yingsheng's lips raised slightly, "Not bad."

"What?"

"You can openly express your dissatisfaction with me instead of just holding it in. Isn't it a big improvement compared to yesterday? It means that at least I am not doing useless work."

Xiaolan looked at him steadily for a long time and pursed her lips.

"Why?"

"As I said, it's just flower viewing."

"But doesn't Suigetsu-kun want to fall in love? Many people in the classroom and dojo saw what happened this afternoon. They may have misunderstandings."

"As an adolescent kid, your head should not be filled with pink bubbles. Blood, bond, and friendship are the main themes of shounen comics."

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless: "You are also in puberty."

"So I regard you as my senior and companion." Yingsheng invited: "I am going to find trouble with a loan shark company this Friday night. There may be a conflict by then. Can you help me?"

"Eh?" Xiaolan was slightly stunned.

"Are you serious?"

Chapter 21 Target loan shark!

"Of course I'm serious."

Yingsheng looked at Xiaolan with a serious expression.

"You don't know how abominable those loan shark companies are, forcing so many people to lose their fortunes and separate their wives and children. Not to mention, I was jogging in Rice Flower Central Park early the morning before yesterday, and I heard a homeless person talk about his own tragedy in the world."

Due to a temporary lack of capital turnover, I mistakenly trusted a friend and took out a loan at a high interest rate. As a result, I couldn't even pay back the money after compounding the interest.

Someone came to the house to collect money violently, and the wife was almost insulted. The landlord stopped renting a house for them for fear of causing trouble. They made mistakes at work due to internal and external difficulties and were fired.

In this way, he became a vagrant.

Yingsheng's narration was straightforward and without much emotion, so Xiaolan didn't feel much after listening to it, but just asked in a daze.

"Where's his wife?"

"God knows, probably where to pick up the guests."

"!!!"

For a moment, Xiaolan felt that her scalp was about to explode, and she almost jumped up in shock.

God knows……

She stared at Yingsheng's calm face, and wanted to ask: How can you say such terrifying words so calmly? !

But she didn't ask that after all.

In fact, under the slightly sarcastic gaze, the complex emotions rushing in her heart were quickly cooled down as if a basin of ice water had been poured on her.

Seeing her lips twitching but stopping to speak, Yingsheng nodded slightly and turned his head.

"Do you watch international news?"

Xiaolan didn't understand what he meant, but she still answered truthfully.

"rare."

"Do you know what the neonatal mortality rate is in Zimbabwe, Africa?"

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths and lowered her head in disappointment.

"I don't know, Suiyue-kun..."

"I don't know either."

"Um?!"

Xiaolan suddenly looked up, her eyes twinkling.

Ying Sheng shrugged: "Human beings are like this. They only prefer those who are close to us and ignore those who are far away from us. If it is unseen and unheard, then no matter what kind of human tragedy it is, it does not exist at all. "

Xiaolan thought thoughtfully, "What Mr. Shuiyue means is that we should pay more attention to other things..."

"I mean, don't overthink it."

"Ah?"

Xiaolan tilted her head in confusion.

Yingsheng smiled and said: "Anything you want to do, just do it, whether there is a rational reason or not, it doesn't matter. For example, on Friday, the night after tomorrow, I plan to go to the loan shark company to cause trouble, that's it."

He turned to look at Xiaolan, "What's up, do you want to go?"

Xiaolan looked hesitant. To be honest, she was a little dizzy now and didn't know what to say.

"There's no rush. Just give me an answer before Friday night. I'm going alone anyway." Yingsheng didn't care. "And don't worry about me being in danger. I will use a secret weapon that day."

"What?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"I told you it's a secret."

"Oh...and your physical strength?"

"If you can't hold on any longer, just run away. You don't have to survive to clear the level."
