"Cough cough!"
Xiao Ai coughed twice. What seduction?! My girlfriend's right here, watch your mouth! At least don't say it in front of me!
That's it~
Yoko Okino offered her conclusion.
"I understand!"
Xiaolan threw the half-marble aside, her eyes still filled with anger, but her expression had finally calmed down.
She didn't ask any more childish questions about the law not being involved. She was just simple and kind, not stupid. Xia Ye had said that Akio Ikeda had done countless bad things, but in the end, he was never punished because of his family's power and money!
suddenly.
A thought popped into Xiaolan's mind.
Would the world become a better place if Xia Ye killed more people like that? (Knife)
Chapter 76 Conan at the Crash Site
Downstairs at the Ikeda Building.
Xia Ye and Vermouth walked out the door.
More than ten minutes have passed since the fall, but many people are still going around the building to the scene of the fall to watch the spectacle.
It's human nature to like joining in the fun.
Moreover, rumors suggest that there's more to this fall than meets the eye, with a truly dramatic and sensational story that makes people want to find out more.
Xia Ye glanced at the bustling crowd at the scene of the fall.
He and Vermouth chose to perform their jump from the back of the Ikeda Building, a direction with virtually no tall buildings. Unless they were filmed climbing a mountain like Zhang Dongsheng, it would be almost impossible for anyone to notice.
"Let's go~"
Vermouth gently took Xia Ye's hand, her beautiful, disguised face bearing a gentle smile.
As for the chaotic scene over there, she didn't even bother to glance at it; this level of task could no longer stir any ripples in "687's" mind.
Following her own disciples was something that piqued her interest.
"Xia Ye?"
Xia Ye stopped in his tracks. Vermouth followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache in a dark suit and a bespectacled kid in a blue suit with a red bow tie walking towards the crowd.
Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo?
Vermouth, who had investigated Ran's information, naturally knew Kogoro Mouri, and the boy with glasses looked exactly like Yukiko's son when he was a child.
Who else could it be but Shinichi Kudo, who was shrunk by the drug A?
see him.
Vermouth was somewhat puzzled.
Such obvious clues, how come the original version of myself in the story didn't notice them?
You should know that you held Shinichi when he was a baby!
You can't even recognize this?
That’s outrageous!
"Teacher, shall we go over and take a look?"
Xia Ye didn't expect to run into Kogoro Mouri and Conan. Chiyoda Ward is not close to Beika Town. What would the two of them do here in the middle of the day?
"Good~"
Vermouth has no problem with it.
She also wanted to observe Shinichi Kudo up close and see what "CoolGuy" would look like after shrinking.
...
Conan and Kogoro Mouri had already squeezed into the crowd.
The two were completely unaware that Xia Ye and Vermouth had quietly followed behind them.
Conan carefully observed the crash site.
The mangled, unrecognizable corpse didn't frighten him; instead, it made him want to go up and take a closer look.
However, the person who cordoned off the scene was not Inspector Megure, an old acquaintance of Uncle Mori. After his body shrunk, he could not use Shinichi Kudo's fame, so he was grabbed by the neck and thrown back as soon as he made his way out.
Left with no other option, he had to gather information from the onlookers.
"Kobayashi, is this for real? Are you sure this is that young master from your company?"
A man in a suit is asking a question to a female office worker in a business skirt. The woman appears to be an employee of Ikeda Company.
"Of course! I saw Mr. Ikeda fall off the rooftop with my own eyes!"
Seemingly unable to bear being questioned, or perhaps due to her own gossipy nature, the female office worker Xiaolin let out a soft snort.
"Matsushita, if you don't believe me, fine!"
"I believe you, of course I believe you!"
The man addressed as Matsushita quickly smiled and said, "Kobayashi, you're the know-it-all of the Ikeda Company, how could I not believe what you say!"
"That's pretty much it!"
A smug smile appeared on Xiaolin's face.
"Kobayashi, tell me exactly what happened?" Matsushita asked, seizing the opportunity. "There are many rumors circulating, but I don't believe any of them. I'm waiting for your information!"
"that is!"
Several people nearby chimed in, "Miss Kobayashi, tell us about it!"
"this......"
Kobayashi suddenly hesitated. This was a major scandal involving the Ikeda Company. Could he really just blurt it out?
Just then, she suddenly felt someone tug at her sleeve. Looking down, she saw a cute little boy in a smart little suit looking at her with adorable big eyes. "Big sister, can you tell me what happened? I'm so curious!"
"Oh my, so cute!"
Conan's cuteness instantly triggered Kobayashi's maternal instincts. She patted Conan's head and chuckled softly:
"Little friend, do you really want to know? This is actually quite scary!"
I want to know!
Conan clasped his hands together, blinked, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Big sister, please tell me! My dad actually wants to know too, but he's too shy to talk to such a pretty girl like you, so I'm asking for him!"
Kogoro Mouri rolled his eyes.
You brat, who's your father?!
However, he was also quite curious, so he straightened his expression, looked at the female office worker Xiaolin, and smiled:
"That's exactly what my son said. Miss, could you tell me what happened here?"
"Hey?"
And you know what? When Kogoro Mouri gets serious, he's a charming and handsome older man. Kobayashi, caught off guard, fell for his charm, his mental defenses completely shattered by the combined efforts of this "father and son" duo...
"Alright then, I'll tell you, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone!"
Dozens of people around nodded in unison, promising not to tell anyone what she had said...
Behind Conan and Kogoro Mouri.
Both Xia Ye and Vermouth had strange expressions.
Xia Ye finally witnessed the power of Conan's cuteness and felt an embarrassing chill run down her spine.
Vermouth, watching the once dashing and righteous "CoolGuy" who had pulled her up from the broken railing transform into a brat resorting to cuteness and cajoling to gather information, felt a mix of emotions...
"—And so, young master Ikeda angered the chairman to death, then ran away. He was eventually found on the rooftop, where he accidentally fell during the negotiations!"
Ms. Kobayashi finished recounting the events with a sigh. Even she, a woman who had watched many melodramatic TV dramas, felt that what happened today was too melodramatic!
Xia Ye and Vermouth exchanged a smile.
The plot they directed proceeded perfectly, and all their hard work finally paid off.
Ke 2.2 looked at the roof of the Ikeda Building and then carefully examined the scene of the fall where people were shoveling the body. Based on Ms. Kobayashi's description, he found nothing suspicious.
So she put her detective instincts aside and tugged at Kogoro Mouri's sleeve:
"Dad, let's go, I'm hungry!"
"I'd rather you starve to death!"
Kogoro Mouri tapped him on the head, then turned and left. "If you hadn't insisted on coming to see the crime scene, we would have been eating already! How can I eat after seeing such a bloody scene!"
"Hehe~"
"What are you giggling about?"
Although Kogoro Mouri scolded him, he wasn't actually that disgusted.
Now that his daughter has been run off with his estranged wife, Conan is all he has left. Their relationship is much better than in the original storyline...
Chapter 77 Bayonetta Wants to Follow Conan
Watching Conan and Kogoro Mouri leave.
Vermouth suddenly had an idea, and she looked at Xia Ye and asked, "Are you free this afternoon?"
"I'm free~"
Xia Ye nodded; he was indeed free that afternoon.
Ai just texted me, saying they're having a great time chatting in Yoko Okino's hotel room, and they're even planning to go to a spa Yoko recommended this afternoon to relax. She told him to go have fun by himself, which means he's been ruthlessly dumped by the girls...
Since Sister Bei is asking this now, it's obvious she has something to do, and it would be nice to do something with her this afternoon.
"Then let's go~"
Vermouth took Natsume's hand and walked in the direction Conan and Kogoro Mouri had left.
"Come with me to follow those two people~"
"what?"
Xia Ye was completely shocked.
Vermouth is going to follow Conan! What's going on here? Has she already noticed something's wrong?
"what happened?"
Vermouth said naturally:
"I came to Japan this time to find two people who are very important to me: Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo. And that little boy with glasses—I suspect he is the missing Shinichi Kudo!"
Xia Ye was caught off guard. Why did Sister Bei suddenly reveal her hand? What kind of operation was this?
"Teacher, actually I know both Ran and Shinichi Kudo from Class 07—"
Xia Ye frowned and said:
"I don't know why you're looking for them, but how could Shinichi Kudo be a child?"
Keep pretending!
Vermouth thought to herself.
But she still had to cooperate with Xia Ye and continue acting.
"No, very likely!"
"Because I held Shinichi Kudo when he was a child!"
