Sure enough, the playground is a place that can bring people happiness~
Chapter 500: Five hundred, spread the flowers~
Vermouth originally wanted to change the face that she hated the most in this disguise, but she didn’t bring any materials with her when she came out to play with Chu Ming this time.
She could only make minor adjustments on the fake face made by Chu Ming with the help of the original materials. But before she had made a few strokes, she saw the angel she had been thinking about walking towards Chu Ming, and the two of them seemed to be chatting happily.
Although this scene looks harmonious, Vermouth would bet with Lafitte's hair that Chu Ming is definitely not holding back his fart.
That look doesn't look good! He must be trying to do something bad! She has to keep an eye on him, lest her angel suffer!
So she hurriedly put on her slightly modified disguise again, not caring about using Shirley's face, and quickly chased after him.
At this time, Xiaolan had been brought into the amusement park by Chu Ming.
Vermouth chased after the two men in a hurry, even a little flustered.
When passing through the door, she almost bumped into a child. She didn't even look back, just said "sorry" casually, and continued to chase forward.
"Oh, Genta, you're running too fast! You almost bumped into someone just now!" Ayumi stood with her hands on her hips and angrily scolded Genta, who was almost knocked down. "Don't run so fast next time. It will cause trouble to others!"
Yuan Tai touched his head and muttered, "I was clearly looking at the road. It was that sister who suddenly ran out by herself, otherwise she wouldn't have been hit. And it was clearly that sister's fault! But——"
He glanced mysteriously at Huibara Ai who was walking leisurely behind him: "That sister just now looks a bit like Huibara, just like she looks when she grew up!"
Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up and he looked forward twice: "Where is it?"
Ayumi stamped her feet in anger: "If you guys don't go in, we won't be able to find Sister Xiaolan later!!"
Several people walked into the amusement park noisily. Haibara Ai followed at the end, listening to the children chattering in front, with a relaxed smile on her face.
She followed a few children and swiped their ID bracelets to enter the park, and was about to ask them to go find Mao Lilan together.
Suddenly, she stopped where she was and looked around with a vigilant look on her face. She quietly clenched her palms. Just for a moment, she seemed to feel the breath of the organization...
Could it be someone who came to hunt her down?
She lowered her head slightly. According to Chu Ming, Gin didn't know that she had become smaller yet, and he had also seen her in the disguise of Vermouth, so he shouldn't suspect her for the time being.
Plus, Conan also said that Vermouth had given up reporting her affairs, so now should be the safest time for her since her defection.
At this moment, the detective badge beside her suddenly rang, startling her as she was on edge.
Haibara Ai picked up the badge and heard shocking news.
"You mean, our bracelets are filled with explosives?" She stopped talking cautiously and looked at the people coming and going around her. "But you're too late. We've all come in..."
There are people from a suspected organization in the park, and there is a bomb in the bracelet on her hand, which will explode once she leaves the amusement park.
From this perspective, it seems like death is inevitable...
"…Remember, don't let them leave the fantasy park, including the super giant snake, because there is a section there that rushes out of the sea! Haibara, Haibara, are you listening?" Conan hurriedly reminded Haibara Ai.
Huiyuan Ai's tense expression suddenly relaxed and she chuckled: "I'm listening. I understand. That means if you can't solve the case before ten o'clock tonight, we will all be blown into fireworks. It's quite interesting—"
This way, if she is discovered by the organization and they want to take her out of the park, the bomb can take that member away at the same time when it explodes.
Come to think of it, it’s not such a big loss.
"You actually find it interesting!" Conan's voice sounded like gnashing of teeth.
"Then you have to work hard, great detective~" Haibara Ai turned off the communication and ran briskly towards the children who were waving at her.
"Habara-san, what were you doing standing there? Let's go find Xiaolan. She came in before us, so she should be right in front."
"Come on~"
……
the other side.
When Vermouth caught up, Chu Ming was chatting happily with Xiaolan.
She watched Chu Ming smile as he bought a hydrogen balloon and handed it to Xiaolan. She didn't know what he said to make Xiaolan smile.
This won’t do. We can’t let Chu Ming carry a hoe and dig into the corner of his godson’s wall!
So she quickly stepped forward and called out, "Kudo."
Xiaolan and Chu Ming both turned their heads. Chu Ming looked at Vermouth's face, which had not changed much, and his eyes revealed one meaning: She said one thing but did another. She said she didn't want to use Shirley's face, but now she used it anyway, didn't she?
Vermouth had no way to defend herself and had to silently take the blame.
"Shinichi, who is this..." Xiaolan looked at the familiar face in front of her, feeling a little confused. She always felt like she had seen this face somewhere before.
Chu Ming's eyes were full of "making trouble, making trouble, making trouble", and his eyebrows curved: "This is my——"
"Client!" Vermouth spoke very quickly, interrupting Chu Ming's words, fearing that Chu Ming would say something that would affect the relationship between Xiaolan and Conan. "I asked Mr. Kudo to help me investigate something. You must be Mr. Kudo's girlfriend. You are so beautiful. I just heard Mr. Kudo mention you. He said that his girlfriend is beautiful and gentle, and she is also the champion of the karate competition!"
“……”When did he say such a thing?
Chu Ming watched Vermouth take action personally, and with just a few words, he helped Conan calm Xiaolan down, making Xiaolan too shy to ask any more questions. She just blushed and said hesitantly, "Who, who is his girlfriend? I, I'm not..."
"……" Huihara Ai, who came with the children and shrank behind the children the moment she saw Chu Ming and Vermouth, was speechless, and even less afraid. Could you please not say such flattering words with her face?
After seeing the two people who disguised themselves as herself and Kudo Shinichi, Haibara Ai realized that they should be Vermouth and Granburr. Currently, these two people are probably the best at disguise in the organization.
I just don't know what the purpose of these two people is and what mission they are here to accomplish.
Blackmail? Or murder?
Chu Ming told her that currently in the organization, these two people would keep the secret.
If these two people were just talking to deceive Brother Chu Ming, but were secretly trying to capture her back -
Haibara Ai gave a faint, barely noticeable smile, since she had a bomb on her now.
She exchanged her life for two codename members, which doesn't seem to be a loss at all~
Without the threat and without two core members, Brother Chu Ming's path in the organization will definitely be much easier than it is now...
Chapter 501 Only One True
Xiaolan was so embarrassed by what Vermouth said that she blushed and lowered her head without looking at Chu Ming's expression.
Vermouth looked at Chu Ming quietly, signaling him to restrain himself. Vermouth had noticed when Huibara Ai came over just now, and she was touching her face in front of the real owner, and this person was someone she had always hated.
Even Vermouth was somewhat embarrassed to save face, but compared with her angel, face didn't seem to be very important.
"Look, this is the sister I just said looks like Haibara-san when she grows up!" Genta shouted, pointing at Vermouth.
“No, Genta, you’re so rude!” Mitsuhiko blushed, staring at Vermouth, then at Haibara Ai, “But they do look alike. So Haibara-san looks like this when she grows up…”
"This sister is so beautiful, and she looks very elegant." Ayumi looked up, with some envy in her eyes, "She looks similar to Ai, just like Ai's sister."
Both Haibara Ai and Vermouth revealed a hint of disgust in their eyes.
"Brother Shinichi, are you here to investigate a case today? Why don't we come and help?" Mitsuhiko suddenly got excited, "I've never seen Brother Shinichi handle a case before!"
No, you have.
You see it often.
Chu Ming waved his hand: "No, it's not a big case, it's just that Miss Miyano asked me to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Then we can help!" Yuan Tai patted his chest, "We are the Junior Detective Team!"
"No need. You finally came to the amusement park, why don't you queue up to play the most popular Super Flying Snake here? You can rush to the sea surface when you sit on it!" Vermouth coaxed the children with a smile, and turned to discuss with Xiaolan, "In fact, I have already told Mr. Kudo about my search. It's a rare trip here. Can I join you to play?"
Xiaolan agreed happily: "Of course! Then Shinichi, Miss Miyano and I will take the children to line up together. You should work hard to investigate the case. Come back to us when you are done."
???
What is Vermouth planning to do?
Are you ready to abandon him and go solo?
Seeing Vermouth following Xiaolan in a good mood and waving at him, Chu Ming lowered his head, took out his cell phone and started sending her messages.
When Vermouth heard her cell phone ringing, she thought Chu Ming was sending her a message scolding her for being immoral, but as soon as she opened the message, her eyes widened instantly.
She suddenly turned around to look in the direction of Chu Ming, and saw Chu Ming waving at her with a smug smile on his face. Her heart sank.
"Ms. Miyano, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolan was a little confused when she saw Vermouth suddenly stop.
"Ah, that's it. I suddenly remembered that there's a detail I haven't explained to Mr. Kudo. Xiaolan, you go line up first. I'll come find you guys later, okay?"
"Okay, then hurry up, I'll take the children over first." Xiaolan's tone was gentle and her smile was warm, just like the way she looked when Vermouth first met her.
Vermouth watched Xiaolan walk forward, then walked to Chu Ming's side, his face serious: "Did you plant the bomb you mentioned?"
"Tsk tsk, sister, you look down on me, don't you? How could I possibly make something with such low technical content? Tsk, what's the point of wearing a bracelet on your hand? What if someone is really about to explode and you just cut off the wrist with a knife, won't it be useless? For some people, losing a hand is better than losing their life. If it were me, I would tie it around their necks~" Chu Ming raised his tone and gestured with his hands.
Vermouth put her hand up to cover his face: "Don't make that expression with this face, it hurts my eyes."
"...I don't know who said that in front of Shirley - okay, okay, I won't say anything, and don't make such a coquettish expression with Shirley's face. My eyes hurt a little too."
"Does that mean the bracelet on Xiaolan's hand could explode at any time?" Vermouth retracted his expression, a little worried, "How did you know?"
"It won't explode at any time. It will explode once you leave the amusement park. I just heard the call between Conan and Shirley. It was given by Maori Kogoro's client. On the surface, this bracelet can be used to enjoy all the projects in the amusement park for free, but in fact, it is equipped with a plastic bomb that is powerful enough to blow people away. And it will explode if Maori Kogoro hasn't solved the puzzle by 10 o'clock in the evening."
"Aren't you complaining about being bored?" Vermouth urged Chu Ming, "You have to queue up to play these games in this amusement park. How can it be more interesting than solving puzzles? Why don't you go too--"
"No, why should I use my brain when I'm on vacation? Besides, isn't it interesting to watch these people blow up into fireworks~" Chu Ming turned his head and rejected Vermouth, "This is much more interesting than solving a mystery. I'm not a detective obsessed with solving cases. I won't go."
Vermouth took out her phone, operated it twice, and turned the screen to Chu Ming: "I will take care of all your tasks for the next month, so the tasks assigned to you will be automatically transferred to my mailbox. How about it, you will cooperate with Conan's actions?"
"No, I don't have any missions for the next month. Sister is just getting something for nothing. And sister obviously gave all the missions to Bourbon. I don't think I'm making any profit. If I don't make any profit, I'm losing money!" Chu Ming shook his head and smiled cunningly, "One price, half a year!"
"No, three months at most. I'll requisition Bourbon for three months!" Vermouth blurted out.
"Deal! Then it'll be three months!" Chu Ming quickly finalized it, not giving Belmode any chance to regret it. "Then I'll go. Bye, sister~"
"..." Vermouth felt a sense of stagnation, but she finally let out a long sigh of relief. Forget it, forget it. Bourbon is the one who takes care of the bulk of the work anyway. She will only take over when Bourbon is too busy. It's okay.
Fortunately, Bourbon is here. Since Bourbon started to take on the tedious tasks, even Gin has not been so busy.
Bourbon, the organization is lucky to have you, ?( ′???` ) love you.
Chu Ming walked out of the amusement park and on the way he picked up a bracelet from a VIP member that was exactly the same as the ones Xiaolan and the others had and put it in his arms.
Following Conan's small green dot on the system interface, Chu Ming headed towards Yokohama Marine University. There was also Hattori Heiji next to him, so he drove there to meet them.
As soon as he entered the campus, Chu Ming saw Conan and Hattori Heiji standing in front of the bulletin board, each holding a notebook, muttering something and looking for something. Behind them stood Hakuba Tan, but in Chu Ming's focus, the four words "Kuroba Kaito" were clearly lit.
