Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"But I don't think Gin is the type to go back on his word..."

Akemi Miyano hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

Qi Ming couldn't help but scoff, "Girl, what's Lao Qin? Is Lao Qin a bad guy?"

"How can you believe what bad people say?"

As Qi Ming was speaking, he noticed that Shiho Miyano was looking at him with her eyes half-closed.

Qi Ming glanced at it and shamelessly said:

"What are you looking at me for? Even though I've committed murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds, I'm still a good boy, unlike Gin, understand?"

"hehe."

Ignoring Shiho Miyano, Qi Ming spoke earnestly to Akemi Miyano:

"Kid, you've been in our organization for so long, don't you know what kind of organization we are?"

“Everything the organization does is punishable by death! You may only be an outer member, but who knows if you'll report them to the police after you get out?”

"And then, you actually accept Gin's mission, complete it, and what if he breaks his promise and shoots you dead?"

Akemi Miyano fell silent.

Looking back now, I realize I was indeed a bit too concerned and made a mistake; Qi Ming was right.

Once you join this organization, even if you're just an outer member, or even just someone who works as a cleaner at the base, you're not allowed to leave.

As long as people know of this organization's existence, there will be no peace.

Qi Ming took out a glass of red wine from his spatial storage, gently swirled it, and looked at the ceiling with a sigh.

"So, once you join this organization, there's no turning back."

"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being blinded by greed and joining the organization without thinking, for the sake of profit or fame."

Qi Ming was about to drink from the glass when a muffled thud near his ear almost made him spill the wine.

boom!

He looked up and saw Shiho Miyano slam her hand heavily on the table, her palm visibly red.

"Um, Miss Sherry? Is there something you need?"

Shiho Miyano's expression was gloomy. Although this girl usually had a cold expression, Qi Ming could really feel her anger at this moment.

Her eyes reddened, and a few tears were visible at the corners of her eyes.

"What do you know? Do you think everyone is like you, joining this organization to satisfy their own dark and perverse desires?"

"You don't understand anything, so what are you spouting about high-sounding principles? Do you think we don't want to live normal lives?!"

When Miyano Akemi saw her younger sister having an emotional outburst, she quickly got up and went to Miyano Shiho's side to hug her.

Then, Miyano Akemi said apologetically to Qi Ming, "I'm sorry, Madeira, Shiho might not be in a good mood today."

Qi Ming hadn't yet recovered from Shiho Miyano's angry roar, and nodded blankly.

"Um, well, I'll head out now. You guys chat, you guys chat."

After stepping out of the foyer and closing the door, Qi Ming leaned against the corridor wall.

Hearing the sobs and choked voices coming from inside, Qi Ming was momentarily dazed.

Judging from Shiho Miyano's reaction just now, that means...

They were definitely not forced to join; they were not there voluntarily.

Sigh, I should have thought of that sooner.

He knew that Shiho Miyano always had a cheerful expression in the organization, and originally thought that she just disliked going to work and was being passive.

It now seems that the other party is extremely disgusted with the organization's behavior.

This is the consequence of not understanding the plot; it seems that Shiho Miyano's intimacy level will plummet after this...

"Forget it, I can't stand hearing a woman cry. I'll just go out and get a bowl of ramen, then buy a sandwich and apologize on my way back."

Qi Ming murmured, and then his figure disappeared.

……

Inside the room, the crying gradually faded away after a while.

"Sister, please let go of me, it's a bit hot."

Shiho Miyano patted her sister's hand and slowly sat up straight.

Her eyes were still red, and her cheeks were streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.

Akemi Miyano sighed, "Why are you throwing a tantrum? I'm not even angry."

"And Shiho, what you just said was indeed a bit harsh."

"I... I didn't react for a moment."

Shiho Miyano stammered, her voice still tinged with a sob.

Looking back now, she herself said that Qi Ming didn't understand their past and shouldn't presume to spout grand theories.

But he himself said that Qi Ming joined the organization to satisfy his dark desires.

Wasn't she also making unfounded claims without understanding Qi Ming's past?

To be honest, much of her knowledge of Madeira actually came from rumors.

Qi Mingming was clearly the only person in the organization who treated him exceptionally well, yet he had spoken ill of him in that way.

"Sister, what should I do later?"

Shiho Miyano clenched her fists and asked Akemi Miyano somewhat nervously.

Akemi Miyano chuckled softly and pinched Shiho Miyano's pert nose. "What can we do? Go apologize, what else can we do? Do you need your older sister to teach you this?"

"But, but I..."

"What? Do you really want this hard-won friendship to fall apart like this?"

"Hmph, I, I didn't have any friendships in the organization before, and I still got through it."

"Hehe, Shiho, you're still as tsundere as ever~"

……

The two sisters chatted for a while longer before Shiho Miyano checked the time, said goodbye, and left.

However, after coming down from the residential building to the roadside, apart from the Porsche 911 parked in place, Qi Ming was nowhere to be seen.

"So he's really angry? Well, that makes sense, after all, I said those things without knowing anything about them."

Shiho Miyano's eyes darkened as she looked at the keys on the back of the car, picked them up, and got into the car.

Hey.

The engine roared to life, and the sports car's tires spun rapidly.

Strangely, the surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and the car stayed in the same spot.

Is there something wrong with the car?

Shiho Miyano looked down and pressed the accelerator again.

"Girl, stop stepping on the gas, I can't hold it back any longer."

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and Shiho Miyano looked up abruptly.

Qi Ming's figure was reflected in the rearview mirror. He was holding onto the back of the car with one hand and looking at himself through the rearview mirror with a helpless expression.

Shiho Miyano immediately released the accelerator and pulled the handbrake.

Qi Ming twisted his arm, walked forward, opened the passenger door, sat down, and said dejectedly.

"Miss Shirley, is there any need to be so angry? Even though I can teleport back, you didn't have to steal my car, did you?"

"Besides, I still have those glasses. If you go back alone like this, you won't get any good juice."

Shiho Miyano blushed. "I'm sorry, I'll drive you back."

"Well, that works too."

……

The vehicle started again and drove quietly on the highway.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was silent; neither of them spoke.

After some time, when the vehicle was about to arrive at the base, the two spoke at the same time.

"that……"

The two exchanged a glance, then tacitly turned their heads away.

"Then you say it first."

"You go ahead and say it."

Qi Ming's brow twitched.

Is this some kind of romantic comedy plot?

"Are we a couple making up after a fight?"
