The man in Conan is the mastermind behind the scenes

It will definitely be this one.

It would be better to take him back to the bakery directly. Didn't Chiba Kazunobu say that he might have set a dust explosion trap there?

Then it would be up to him to take the lead.

"Tsk, that's a little annoying. Mr. Detective, my apology will add up."

Yingsheng shook his head, put down his hand, took the wallet and mobile phone from Kudo Shinichi, and walked to the bakery first. Within half a minute, he returned to the door of the bakery, pushed in, turned on the light, and stood aside. stand.

Kudo Shinichi stood outside the door and looked around carefully inside. He found that they were just very conventional furnishings. Most of the rows of glass windows were empty. Under the warm yellow light, even the ones that had already cooled down The unsold bread also looks quite delicious and tempting.

"When it's open, the fragrant aroma here can melt people's hearts." Yingsheng said with a smile.

"Do you come here often?" Kudo Shinichi walked in and went straight to the unsold bread.

"After all, I work nearby. What are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

"No need, aren't you a member of the Nihan Guild? Is this considered work?"

Kudo Shinichi took out a piece of bread, pinched it, and found nothing unusual. He felt it was not safe, so he simply tore it open to check, but there was still nothing.

"We, the lower class Yakuzas, don't live a very good life. You know, not counting bonuses, we only have 200,000 yuan a month. I even want to change my career to bake bread."

Yingsheng looked at the way Kudo Shinichi was ruining things and couldn't help but shake his head: "By the way, have you come here to inform Boss Takayama? The money I left as apology before is not enough for you to keep thinking like this."

"You still kept the money?"

"Although I'm just a little boy, I also want to become a gentleman. The address is in the back kitchen. I went to borrow it before. Maybe you want to take a look?"

"Of course I will go, but only later."

"Do you suspect that I want to lure you away? I should really say that you are close to your target. Unfortunately, I really don't know what you are looking for. Can you tell me?"

"What were you doing here before?" Kudo Shinichi not only did not answer, but asked another question.

"Knead the dough."

"Kneading dough?"

"Didn't I just say that I want to change my career, bake bread, and come over here at night to practice secretly."

"…………"

Kudo Shinichi didn't want to talk to this man anymore, so he asked other police officers to come in and search with him. Even the flour sacks in the kitchen had to be searched to the bottom, and the fermenting dough had to be torn apart to check. On the way, Megure Thirteen and Chiba He Shin also came from the main entrance. After learning what was going on here, he immediately joined the search together.

Seeing everyone busy, Yingsheng yawned out of boredom.

"Tianshu, are you really okay?"

Xiaolan asked nervously in the earphone.

Yingsheng looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he simply said:

"We didn't do anything in the first place, so there's no need to be nervous at all. It doesn't matter if we confess what happened before. I just don't want to talk about it. It's weird like a vigilante or something."

"Well... that's right... By the way, what did Shinichi mean by Mr. Harada before?"

"Didn't I tell you at noon that someone was trying to deceive people? Mr. Harada seems to be the mastermind. Mr. Detective wants to investigate this now. Unfortunately, I only know the name and can't provide much help. It would be troublesome, so I just pretend I no longer know."

"So that's it..."

Xiaolan paused for a moment, then said with a somewhat tangled tone: "Hey, I wanted to ask before, Tianshu, have you rescued anyone?"

"You guessed it, right? In fact, I really didn't want to say anything before."

Yingsheng sighed softly: "It's all Mr. Detective's fault, he came too quickly. This kind of obvious crime involving human auction does not require detective reasoning. Logically speaking, the police will not look for him, and his energy should be more important." Focus on the other person.”

"so……"

There was a hint of sympathy in Xiaolan's tone: "Is the person being auctioned really Xue Song?"

"indeed."

"The person who was cheated out of money, owed gambling debts that could not be repaid, and finally betrayed his daughter, is Nami Nimi Cedar?"

"Yes, Alice, have you ever heard of a saying? Children hold gold and walk in the busy city. Nami Nami's money comes too easily, and she herself is a person who doesn't know how to restrain herself. Sooner or later, she will be targeted. I just I didn’t expect it to be so fast.”

"Moreover, it has also affected Xuesong-san."

"It was a matter of time, and I wasn't too surprised. I rescued her from the iron cage, put her in a lounge, locked the door, and then left the underground casino after confirming that she was safe, and went outside to see how things were going. Somehow, Mr. Detective noticed it.”

Xiaolan was silent for a few breaths: "How can we help Xuesong?"

"I don't think it's necessary, because...well, she seems to have a good impression of Mr. Detective."

"Eh???"

"It's easy to understand things like heroes saving beauties."

Yingsheng's tone was quite helpless. The six-eared macaque's acting skills are really superb. Could it be somewhat sincere?

"But it's probably unilateral on her part, you don't need to..."

"But isn't it you, Tianshu, who is the hero who saves the beauty?"

"I was a masked man at that time, and didn't you hear what I said at that time on the communication channel? I said I would go back and take her away, and then I dove on her. If she doesn't hate me, I'm already thankful to God. ”

"Actually, I feel that even if you take her away, it's not impossible, right? The Mugui Association is not organized at all. Even if they don't let her go, they can't stop us."

"Then our identities will be exposed. After all, she has to be entrusted to someone. If we can't send her home, just leave her alone, otherwise she will probably commit suicide."

"Does Tianshu not want us to be exposed?"

"Don't you think so?"

"No, it's just... I feel like compared to saving people, this... can be more flexible."

"So now it's the best of both worlds."

"Well, that's right, it's just..."

Chapter 108 Kudo Shinichi: Xiaolan is your girlfriend?

"Do you feel a sense of crisis?"

Yingsheng smiled and said: "Taking into consideration all aspects of your inner nature, temperament, and personality, I admire you more, but I'm very sorry, if I just talk about your appearance...

And temperament...

Well, I hope Mr. Detective is not such a superficial person and won't be fascinated by that guy. "

"………………"

Xiaolan was speechless for a long time: "You guys are too straightforward, ah... Although that is indeed the truth... But! Huh! I don't have a sense of crisis! Who would be jealous of that reasoning maniac for no reason! I'm just Do not care!"

"I hope so. Don't cry and regret why you didn't take the initiative in the first place."

"Humph, absolutely not!"

"That's the best. I'll probably have some time here, so why don't you go home first?"

"No, what if another accident happens? I'm already on my way to you. If you have any questions, please call for support at any time."

"Thank you very much. I'll disconnect you temporarily to avoid any accident later and your exclamation will pierce my eardrums."

"……oh."

The communication here was temporarily interrupted. Yingsheng got up and wandered around the store. The police who had ignored him before finally looked at him, and then continued to search for clues.

This reaction made Yingsheng a little confused, and he simply looked at Kudo Shinichi who was meditating at the entrance of the kitchen:

"I said, did you just put a listening device on me?"

"What?" Kudo Shinichi raised his head in confusion.

Yingsheng looked strange: "Don't you think of me as a suspect? I chat with people so blatantly, but you don't care? What if I am looking for help?"

Kudo Shinichi was silent.

"Well, if you are so lenient with me, you probably haven't found any doubts, and you have generally confirmed that I am really an innocent passerby." Yingsheng asked curiously: "Can you tell me what you are looking for now? I may be able to help. busy."

Sure enough, it was seen.

Kudo Shinichi sighed slightly and looked around.

At this time, every place in the bakery had been turned upside down, including the ceiling, floor tiles, oven, flour, toilets, and even the sewers. He and the police had looked at them all, but found nothing.

He is now wondering if the location locked by the program is the resident of this shop?

The police's thinking is even more simple. It's pure rubbish to break the reverse tracking program.

but!

More than one person quietly cast an annoyed look at Yingsheng. This may have something to do with you yourself. You keep wearing a torn mask and refuse to take it off. Of course it will arouse suspicion!

Now that the words had been made clear, all the police officers who were still searching in vain stopped and focused their attention.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Yingsheng and said solemnly:

"Sir, please take off your mask. I will apologize to you and pay you one million."

At this point, it actually doesn’t matter who the face under the mask is, as long as it’s not someone on the police’s wanted list, or it’s directly Taro Harada.

However, Kudo Shinichi just wanted to confirm it one last time.

And based on the other party's psychological quality, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if it has nothing to do with this incident, there is no guarantee that he will not encounter him again in the future.

He will definitely remember this person!

Yingsheng shook his head and laughed: "One million or something, you can keep the flowers for yourself. I was unwilling to cooperate before, but I was just unhappy with your attitude. I obviously didn't do anything, but in the end you put a gun to my head. Forget it. , who told me to have a good temper?"

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Yingsheng raised his chef's hat a little, reached behind his right ear, and paused again:

"I must state in advance that I am ugly and no one is allowed to laugh at me, otherwise I will get angry."

Everyone shook their heads quickly and said that they had received professional training and would never laugh.

So Yingsheng took off his mask.

The air fell silent for a moment.

About three seconds later,

"puff--"

I don’t know which guy didn’t tense up, but finally a laugh burst out in the silent air.

"Um--?"

Yingsheng raised his eyebrows, put on his mask again, and glanced around with cold eyes. A group of guys who could hardly hold back their mouths and burst into laughter immediately raised their hands to cover their mouths, trying their best to keep their faces straight. Some even looked sullen. flushed.

"Tsk, a bunch of superficial guys who judge people by their appearance."

Yingsheng curled his lips and looked at Kudou Shinichi. The guy didn't smile, and there was even a trace of pity in his eyes:

"Are the cuts and burns mixed together?"

The face that was just shown to them, at first glance, looked like a wasteland that had experienced countless wind, frost, rain and snow, with potholes and unevenness, and many of the skin had wavy wrinkles, as if they were the remnants left after being burned by fire.

It was indeed quite funny at first glance, but as long as you think about it carefully, you can't help but sympathize with it.

What exactly happened to him?

"It's all over."

Hina said calmly, covering his face again, and pressed it down imperceptibly: "By the way, do you still need my help? If you don't, I'll leave."

"At least two mobile phones, the others are not sure yet." Kudo Shinichi said seriously, in order to ease the atmosphere, he paused and said:

"The person waiting for you to meet is your girlfriend?"

"Cough cough cough!"

Hina almost choked to death on a mouthful of spit, looking at Kudo Shinichi in shock:

"Why do you say that?"

"Even if it's not, I think it's almost the same." Kudo Shinichi smiled and said: "Next time you call her, maybe you can stand in front of the mirror, so you can find that the expression in your eyes at that time is very different from usual.

I didn't stop you from talking to her, in addition to the fact that I roughly believe you are innocent, I also think that even if you are really a criminal, you will definitely hide the truth from the people you care about when you do bad things, and it is impossible to tell her the truth.

So you can talk to her as long as you want, anyway, it's not related to the case."
