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

……

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group entered the art museum under the guidance of Masato Nishino.

Kaito Kuroba never expected that coming here to avert a bloody disaster would bring such an unexpected bonus, allowing him to scout out the terrain in advance...

Hmm? A bloody disaster?

Kaito Kuroba's expression suddenly froze.

Come to think of it, I forgot to ask Qi Ming for a disaster-repelling talisman on the bus earlier.

Just as he was about to whisper his request to Qi Ming, he swallowed his words back.

It doesn't seem really necessary.

Kaito Kuroba actually felt that his bloodshed might have been averted.

The breakthrough likely occurred when Qi Ming invited him to join the organization while they were in the car.

After all, Qi Ming had invited him to join the organization as an officer, so he certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch such a virtuous and talented member die!

Kaito Kuroba breathed a sigh of relief; the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.

Sometimes I feel like all the police in this world are idiots.

Ai Haibara couldn't help but complain as she looked at the police officers standing straight against the wall.

Knowing full well that Phantom Thief Kid can disguise himself, they still arranged for so many police officers to be used by him in disguise.

"Then, miss, what do you think is the best way to defend against Phantom Thief Kid?"

Hearing what Ai Haibara said, Kaito Kuroba asked with some curiosity.

Ai Haibara glanced at Kaito Kid.

"The best way is to take care of Phantom Thief Kid, then we won't have to worry about things being stolen."

"...Haha, Miss, you're quite the joker."

After a few minutes' walk, the group arrived at the president's office of the art museum.

dong dong——

"President Suzuki, Miss and her friends have arrived."

"Well, come in."

The door opened, and everyone went inside.

At this moment, Suzuki Shiro was not alone in the room; there were four other unfamiliar people sitting on the sofa, staring at them as they walked in.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Shiro Suzuki began to introduce the four people on the sofa.

Siryuv Chinnikov, the first secretary of the Russian embassy with a tough appearance.

Qian Jiangyi, an art dealer with a sleazy appearance.

Wearing a traditional Chinese dress, the beautiful Romanov dynasty scholar, Pu Siqinglan.

The last one was a young, freelance videographer named Han Chuanlong, who was holding a camera.

Of the four people, only Han Chuanlong was there to film and gather material; the other three were there for the Emperor Egg.

Sileuf believed that the emperor's egg belonged to their country and should be kept by their country.

Qian Jiangyi and Pu Siqinglan wanted to buy the emperor's egg.

The former contributed 8 million yen, while the latter, being an academic, obviously couldn't afford that much.

Shiro Suzuki and the four had talked for quite some time beforehand, but still hadn't reached a conclusion.

Seeing this, Kaito Kuroba really wanted to step forward and say: "Stop fighting, just let me take it."

"Um……"

The three of them started arguing again about who owned the Emperor's Egg, while Qi Ming kept a close eye on Pu Siqinglan, one of the three.

Ai Haibara looked at Qi Ming, pouted, and questioned him.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's about recognizing talent."

Qi Ming replied, without shifting his gaze because of Ai Haibara's words.

When Suzuki Shiro introduced the four people, each of them stood up and said hello, as did Urashi Seiran.

However, while the previous speakers were in Japanese, Urashi Seiran was speaking Chinese.

However, that's not the main point. What's important is that Pu Siqinglan has quite a rich record.

Murder, robbery, or more murder and robbery...

Look at what these liberal arts students have driven people to—they've even started talking about assassins.

However, Ai Haibara clearly did not understand Qi Ming's meaning.

She glanced at Pu Siqinglan's long legs beneath her dress and gave a cold smile.

"As expected of the boss, he hasn't even officially appeared in the organization yet, and he's already selecting members to join, and he's already considering a secretary?"

"That's true. Gray hair and gray eyes, and wearing a Chinese-style dress, after living in Japan for so long, I still think Chinese beauties are more attractive, right?"

"...Are you talking about chicken feathers?"

I'm talking to you!

Qi Ming rolled his eyes at Ai Haibara.

Kaito Kuroba was closest to the two and overheard their conversation.

With his high emotional intelligence, he immediately noticed the strangeness between the little monster and the big monster.

Judging from his mature tone, he must have known that the little monster must have lived for a very long time.

But why transform into such a little loli?

...Are you trying to look young?!

Ai Haibara, whose malice perception was at its peak, suddenly turned to look at Kaito Kuroba and said coldly.

"I have a feeling you're thinking something very impolite."

"Oh, yes, really? Miss, you must be mistaken, hahaha."

Kaito Kuroba quickly waved his hand and gave an awkward laugh to brush it off.

Ahead, Pu Siqinglan and the other two stopped talking.

As a professional assassin, she naturally noticed Qi Ming's gaze lingering on her.

She walked over and bowed slightly, a blush spreading across her face.

"Sir, why are you staring at me?"

Pu Siqinglan's reaction wasn't shyness, but fear.

As a professional assassin, and one who was on the wanted list, she was afraid that her true identity would be discovered.

If Qi Ming had only been lecherously staring at her, that would have been fine, but the problem was that Qi Ming didn't.

Something's strange; she has to come and check it out.

"Hey~ Mr. Qi Ming has been caught peeping at a beauty."

Sonoko Suzuki covered her hands and laughed sarcastically, while Ran Mouri chimed in to support her.

"It shouldn't be that. I think Mr. Qi Ming is interested in Miss Pu Siqinglan because they are both Chinese."

Pu Siqinglan was taken aback, then looked at Qi Ming in surprise and said:

"I see. Is this gentleman also Chinese?"

However, at this moment, a murderous intent had already surfaced in Pu Siqinglan's heart.

Because she is not Chinese, it would be quite bad if her identity were exposed.
