…Is it really okay to say in such a proud tone that you made a child work for nothing?

Mao Lilan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Conan and Ayumi often do housework at home. As children, it is normal for them to do what they can."

Vermouth smiled, bent down and said to Huiyuan Ai, who was hiding behind Si Xuanyu and holding Shan Hai Jing tightly, "This little girl is really pretty. She looks like she is mixed-race. Does she have an English name?"

Although Haibara Ai had already prepared herself mentally, she still couldn't help but be afraid. Facing the approaching Vermouth, Haibara Ai shrank back and shook her head slightly.

Sawada Hiroki stepped forward and stood in front of Huihara Ai, changing the subject: "Doctor Shinde, why don't you choose a room and clean it up first? We are planning to go skiing soon."

Vermouth straightened up: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I must have delayed your cleaning. Which room is still empty?"

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko took Vermouth to an empty room, and the others went back to their rooms to continue tidying up.

After Vermouth entered the room, the two went to Si Xuanyu and Huiyuan Ai's room. They looked at Huiyuan Ai with some confusion and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem to be afraid of Dr. Arata?"

Huiyuan Ai pursed her lips and shook her head: "Nothing, I just don't want to have too much contact with strangers."

Is that right?

But when you think about it, it seems that Haibara Ai really rarely talks to strangers. When you think about the secrets surrounding her, Ran Mouri's Suzuki Sonoko thinks she understands.

After the two left, Huiyuan Ai looked at Si Xuanyu: "She knows it's me, right?"

Si Xuanyu spread his hands: "She must have checked Edogawa Conan, and she may have found you during that time."

Huiyuan Ai took a deep breath. If Vermouth already knew who she was, why didn't she report her? Why didn't anyone come to hunt her down?

Is it because of Edogawa Conan?

Vermouth had indeed known Haibara Ai's identity for a long time. After knowing Edogawa Conan's identity, Vermouth would pay attention to him from time to time. This attention made it easy for her to discover another Haibara Ai who had rejuvenated.

The reason for not reporting it is very simple, it is because of Edogawa Conan. If this matter is known by the organization, Si Xuanyu may be able to protect Haibara Ai, but Vermouth cannot protect Edogawa Conan.

To a certain extent, Vermouth will even protect Haibara Ai's identity from being discovered by the organization when necessary.

Vermouth also thought about killing Haibara Ai herself, but that would likely offend Si Xuanyu, and Vermouth did not want to become an enemy of Si Xuanyu.

However, although I can't really do anything to Haibara Ai, it's okay to scare her.

Just as everyone had packed up, they heard the children calling from the door. Kojima Genta's voice was particularly prominent: "Ai! Are you ready? Let's go skiing!"

Mao Lilan hurried to open the door: "We are ready too! Let's go! I am so excited! I heard there is an ice rink here, I want to learn how to skate!"

Vermouth behind him immediately smiled warmly and said, "Xiaolan, you don't know how to skate? Then let me teach you?"

Edogawa Conan immediately interrupted: "Sister Xiaolan, I want to learn too! Why don't we let Sister Xuanyu and Sister Wu teach us!"

snort!

He knew that this new doctor had bad intentions!

Don't even think about getting rid of him, Edogawa Conan, and being alone with Xiaolan!

Vermouth, who had bad intentions, bent down and touched Edogawa Conan's head: "Conan, long time no see! Are these kids your classmates?"

Edogawa Conan smiled with his white teeth: "It hasn't been that long actually."

The three real kids didn't need anyone else to introduce themselves, "Hello, Dr. Shinde, my name is Yoshida Ayumi/Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko/Kojima Genta, and I'm Ai and Conan's classmate. The five of us are! The Junior Detective Team!"

Vermouth pretended to be surprised: "Wow! Hello, you guys are the Junior Detective Team, you are so awesome! Are you already a detective at such a young age?"

The children scratched their heads proudly and embarrassedly.

Dr. Agasa, who was not as fast as the other kids, finally came over and said, "Huh? What are you doing standing here? Aren't you going skiing?"

Si Xuanyu watched the show for a long time before speaking: "I was just about to go, close the door quickly, let's go."

The group of people finished a long round of greetings and walked out, each carrying their equipment.

When we arrived at the cable car station, we found that there were quite a lot of people here and there was a long queue in front.

"Hey! This spot is ours! Get out of here!"

There was suddenly a commotion at the front of the team, and two girls suddenly fell out of the team, as if they were pushed out by someone. Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and the children frowned.

Conan Edogawa immediately ran out to check the situation and came back after a while: "Two men cut in line and pulled the two girls off the cable car and threw them out, but fortunately the snow was thick and the two girls were not injured. They have already found another cable car."

Kojima Genta nodded: "We just found out, those two guys are really abominable! If they run into us, we'll have to beat them up!"

Yoshida Ayumi raised her fist, indignant: "That's right! We have learned martial arts very well, right Sister Wu?"

Wu Meiying was silent for a while, then nodded under the expectant gazes of Yoshida Ayumi and the other two. She was considered a good student compared to other children.

Edogawa Conan was stunned: "You just knew it?"

Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and said, "Yes, Xuan Yu heard it and told us."

Mao Lilan looked at Edogawa Conan seriously: "Conan, you can't run away by yourself without saying a word. There are many dangerous places in the ski resort. Children can't leave the group."

Edogawa Conan lowered his head and listened obediently: "Okay~"

Yes, he had forgotten Si Xuanyu's inhuman hearing. He made a wasted trip and got scolded.

Dr. Agasa quickly advised: "Conan is very sensible. He just ran away out of kindness."

Vermouth praised: "You guys really have a sense of justice! You are worthy of being the Junior Detective Team!"

There were no problems with the following teams, and everyone got on the cable car smoothly in batches.

The ski resort here is very large, and it was developed on a separate hill. At the foot of the mountain are a group of villas and some shops for tourists to stay in. Further ahead is a cliff, which is only connected to the land on the opposite side by a bridge.

On the mountainside is a developed and fenced ski resort, and further up is an undeveloped forest.

A group of people took the cable car and looked down, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really beautiful here!"

"Yes, yes, the price is quite cheap, this trip is well worth it!"
