If there is any secret that can make people curious and want to explore it, then it must be when you find that someone you have a good relationship with is secretly hiding photos of your boyfriend.
Mao Lilan is obviously in this trouble, although this person with whom she has a good relationship is her teacher, who is almost thirty years old this year, and Conan Jun is not her boyfriend, but just relying on the children at her home.
But this subtle feeling is difficult to describe in words.
She originally came here with Sonoko and some classmates to practice for Teacher Judy today. When she was leaving, she borrowed the bathroom and found something behind the mirror. She turned it over and saw familiar photos posted inside.
There is her and Sonoko, the Young Detective Team and Dr. Agasa. And from the perspective of the photo, it should be a candid shot.
What is Teacher Judy doing taking pictures of these people?
Although Mao Lilan does not have the brains of a smart detective like Kudo Shinichi, she is not stupid either. On the contrary, hidden behind Kudo who exudes a strong light, she thinks more than anyone else.
For a moment, Mao Lilan thought of all the signs of people around her in the past two months since Teacher Judy came - first, Shinichi left without saying goodbye, and the only time he returned to school, he wore a mask, and he never appeared in front of anyone.
An encounter in the arcade, and then the arcade was bombed; the owner of the arcade took the initiative to pursue Judy, and then the owner disappeared; plus he suddenly said that he was leaving Japan and returning to the United States...
This teacher has a big problem!
Mao Lilan buckled down the mirror and the photo was blocked. She put away her suspicions and walked out of the bathroom as if nothing happened.
The farewell party outside was still lively, and she quickly got back into it, treating the incident as a sideshow.
Mouri Kogoro was putting on makeup, and sitting next to him was Suzuki Sonoko, who kept urging him. Today was the day when the two of them were invited to the ghost ship party. Originally, they would also bring Xiaolan and Conan, but one was more afraid of ghosts, and the other said he was a doctor. The girl at home was sick and he wanted to take care of her.
At that time, Yuanzi's gossip arose.
It's a pity that Conan didn't give her much time to gossip, and left the Maori Detective Agency in a hurry. From this, he didn't realize that Xiaolan was not in the detective agency.
Dr. A Li's house. After giving Haibara Ai an injection of anesthesia, Conan carefully rummaged through the basement, but came out empty-handed.
He shook his head helplessly to indicate that he had not found it. The doctor looked worriedly at Haihara Ai, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Is it really okay?" He squatted down and whispered in Conan's ear.
Edogawa Conan didn't know either. Although he looked determined to win, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. After all, this is a member of the organization who knows that he has become smaller, and he is still the one who makes Haihara Ai so afraid.
It would be okay if there was no comparison. Conan knew that Haiyuan was very afraid of the people in the organization, and having that reaction didn't mean anything - last time on the bus, according to Haiyuan's own confession later, she had some thoughts of seeking death.
It was just that Kuroki Ren took him out in the end.
But facing Kuroki Jin, who is also a member of the organization, Haibara Ai never seemed to express worry or fear from the beginning to the end. Recently, it seems that he is more willing to spend time alone with Kuroki Jin.
With this comparison, and thinking of Haiyuan's reaction just now, it is not difficult for Conan to draw a conclusion:
The relationship between this person codenamed Vermouth and Haibara Ai in the organization is not good, or rather bad.
Yesterday evening, Conan, who came from the detective agency, got the letter from the doctor that he had kept for Kudo Shinichi. What Conan was very concerned about, apart from the signature Vermouth, was that Kudo Shinichi's words were left on the envelope, but the beginning of the letter said "Dear Mr. Edogawa Conan".
Conan, who came from his uncle, knew that his uncle had also received such a strange letter. It looked like it was sent by a murderer who was provoking the detectives, telling them that there would be murders at an inappropriate Halloween party held on a full moon night.
Mouri Kogoro will naturally go to the appointment, and by the way, he will bring Suzuki Sonoko, who is very interested in monsters and monsters. It's just that Xiaolan is more afraid of these things, so she refuses to follow them and consciously stays at home.
At this time, it is estimated that the uncle has already set off.
"Let's go too, doctor." Conan picked up the letter and looked back at Haihara Ai on the bed again.
Sorry, Haiyuan.
As the afterglow of the sun set, Kuroki Jin and Calvados came to the place that Belmod had mentioned in advance. Out of caution, the two of them briefly checked around the area.
"Someone just came here." Kuroki Jin said softly. He was wearing a headset. The headset connected Calvados and Belmode. However, Belmode was not within the signal reception range, so he must not have received their call information. .
"Yeah." Calvados said little, "The container was wiped clean."
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have chosen this place as a sniper spot." Kuroki Jin smiled slightly sarcastically. It turned out to be the gang of hyenas. They came over after smelling the smell, but he did not expect that the people from his side would come this time. With bugs.
Belmode can disguise himself and change his voice. He just needs to dress up as the FBI whose identity has been exposed and come here in advance and tell them to cancel today's operation.
"Then according to what we discussed, you guard the point on your side, facing the alley, and I will cover for you here."
"Potter."
"Um?"
Calvados paused, as if swallowing something.
"Nothing," he said.
Kuroki didn't ask any questions. He set up the rifle, adjusted the angle, and lay still on the container.
On the opposite side, Calvados made the same preparations, but before the people arrived, he did not stare at the scope, but looked at the direction of Kuroki's opposite side with one eye.
it's a pity. He thought about it, recalling what Belmode had said to him alone a few days ago, and he felt sorry for Kuroki Ren in his heart.
There are very few people in the organization that Calvados can get along with, and Kuroki is one of them, but it's a pity that it will be difficult to meet him again after today.
When Belmode smiled at him with that charming face that made his heart beat, and asked him to keep Kuroki Ren in the most dangerous place, Kuroki Ren's end was already doomed.
But that's okay. If Porter dies, Gin will definitely fall out with Belmode, and then his chances may be greater.
He likes Belmod because of the throbbing from his soul, the concentration that makes him unable to turn his eyes away when he sees her, and the willingness to give everything for her.
It will be the same tonight.
