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

"..."

What a shameless assassin organization.

Do you think anyone will cooperate with you in the future if you use such forceful buying and selling tactics?

Mai sighed; she couldn't refuse at all, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"...Okay, I agree."

"OK, OK, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Although she was forced to accept Qi Ming's suggestion, Wu Yi still felt that it was good to have such a professional to do things.

At least I won't be in danger of being caught by the police.

Seeing that Wu Yi was quite sincere in making the request to him, Qi Ming immediately grabbed her hand and shook it up and down.

"Miss Wuyi, I see you have such an upright heart, how about we become our long-term partners?"

Qi Ming said to Wu Yi with a big smile.

"You know there are too many scoundrels in the medical field. Kill one Urata and there will be thousands more Uratas."

"Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"..."

Wu Yi glanced down at the business card, which did have Qi Ming's contact information written on it.

After thinking it over, she put the business card into her inner bag.

"Regarding compensation..."

Wu Yi looked up, intending to discuss the murder fee with Qi Ming, but the man who was sitting next to her just a second ago had vanished.

...Are these the people from the assassin organization? They really are as elusive as in the movies.

Forget it, the other party knows so much about me, so they probably aren't worried about me defaulting on my debt.

"Wuyi, the play is about to start."

A man not far away waved to the dancer.

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Wu Yi took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards him.

"Wait a minute, Urata, I'll go buy two more cups of coffee."

……

Inside the theater, Qi Ming returned to his seat.

He glanced at Vermouth and sent the dance costume's phone number to her phone.

Vermouth glanced at the phone number and said with some confusion.

"what is this?"

"This is our client. They'll be sending us assassination targets in the future. I just went out and picked up a job on the way."

"..."

The organization's fashion sense is really low these days; even the boss has been reduced to running around on the streets doing business.

Vermouth saved the phone number, and with fifteen minutes left before the play was to begin, she couldn't contain her curiosity and asked Qi Ming.

There are some things I want to talk to you about.

"what happened?"

Vermouth unconsciously looked up at the backstage area again.

"You should know that guy named Karasuma, he is..."

"I know, he's the former boss."

Before Vermouth could finish speaking, Qi Ming interrupted and answered.

Why did he become like this?

"Because he believed what I said."

Qi Ming answered casually, then turned and glared at Vermouth.

"Otherwise, how could he have been your former boss? I dare say he's genuinely trustworthy, unlike you guys who are all single-minded and easily fooled."

"..."

Vermouth felt like she had been scolded for no reason.

"What did you tell him?"

Qi Ming waved to Vermouth, who then moved closer to listen intently.

Qi Ming spoke up shortly afterward.

“I told him that believing in Lord Ma would grant him eternal life.”

"..."

Well, she knew she wouldn't get anything useful out of Qi Ming.

"...What exactly is your relationship with Karasuma Renya now?"

Hearing Vermouth ask another question, Qi Ming glared at her irritably.

The current boss is sitting right next to you. Is it appropriate for you to keep asking about the former boss?

“I remember you told me a long time ago that you had his contact information, and that he’s sitting backstage right now. If you care so much, why don’t you go ask him?”

"Tsk, can't you learn from Lao Qin and the others? You women are the most troublesome."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cough suddenly sounded beside him.

Qi Ming turned around and looked at Ai Haibara, who was staring at him with her small face turned to the side, and said with disdain, "Why are you looking at me?"

Ai Haibara gave a soft snort.

"What's wrong with you? If you want to insult her, just insult her, but don't generalize, okay?"

"But I didn't ask you to put yourself in that role, did I?"

"..."

Ignoring the suddenly acting crazy little girl, Qi Ming turned around and looked at Vermouth.

It's not a good sign to care about a former boss but not the current one.

...Is Vermouth thinking of switching jobs and going to Karasuma Renya's side?

The organization is already somewhat male-dominated, and its own female mascot hasn't even arrived yet. If Vermouth leaves, won't the organization be left with only men?

...Chianti doesn't count; she doesn't have a woman's scent at all. No, it should be said that she only has a woman's scent on her body.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, I have no choice but to tell you the truth."

After pondering for a moment, Qi Ming said in a heavy tone.

“Karasuma Renya betrayed the organization. He originally wanted to take me with him, but I sternly refused.”

"Because I can't let you go."

"……what?"

Vermouth blinked, her red lips slightly parted.

Karasuma Renya has defected?

What the hell?

No, come to think of it, Gin kicking Karasuma Renya just now was definitely Qi Ming's order.

It does seem a bit strange that the relationship between the two of them is like this, but didn't Karasuma Renya hand over the organization's boss to Qi Ming?

Seeing Vermouth's puzzled expression, Qi Ming explained.

"Have you seen the movie? After those gang leaders create an organization and achieve their goals, they want to get rid of their past and are eager to whitewash themselves. Karasuma Renya is exactly like that."

"So his decision was to sever himself from the organization, or even to go out on his own and form his own organization, under the guise of justice, to come and attack us."

Vermouth remained silent, her slightly parted lips never closing.

Seeing this, Qi Ming added fuel to the fire for Vermouth once again.

"And you would never guess who his members are: Conan, Heiji Hattori, Shuichi Akai, and Tooru Amuro."

Qi Ming clicked his tongue.

"Oh dear, this scoundrel has recruited all of our organization's enemies into his team. I even suspect that he knew they were undercover agents all along and deliberately left them to fend for himself."

Vermouth rubbed her forehead, looking a bit of a headache.

"Wait, wait, let me have a moment."

The content was too explosive for her to process all at once.

"Then why was he at school?"

Qi Ming snorted coldly.

"Because he's a scumbag."
