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

……

While still on the other side of the night, Akemi Miyano hung up the phone.

She never expected that she would actually speak to Shuichi Akai again.

"Mr. Qi Ming, are you sure he'll come if I say that?"

Miyano Akemi looked at Qi Ming by the door and asked in confusion.

Qi Ming nodded.

"Yes, it's because we only learn to cherish things after we lose them that Shuichi Akai will definitely cross the ocean to see you."

"..."

Upon hearing Qi Ming's explanation, Miyano Akemi let out a cold laugh.

You only realize the value of something when you lose it, but what good is that then?

It's just a way of comforting oneself.

Besides, back when I was about to die, he didn't dare to come looking for me.

Now that he knows I'm still alive, he still dares to come here?

“Mr. Qi Ming, I have decided to stay here while Akai Shuichi is in Japan.”

"...Well, okay."

Looking at the smile on Miyano Akemi's face, Qi Ming felt a chill for some reason.

"I left Megan with you the day we left. If you need anything, just tell her."

"Know it."

Akemi Miyano's smile returned to normal, and she waved to Qi Ming.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Qi Ming, you should go and rest. Shiho is probably getting impatient."

"……Oh."

What do you mean you can't wait?

If we weren't sisters, how could you say something like that now?

……

the next day.

Qi Ming simply asked Shiho Miyano to ask him where Mary Akai was, and immediately obtained Mary Akai's location.

Tokyo.

Moreover, judging from the general area, it should be in a high-end hotel.

Miyano Akemi was somewhat puzzled by the name Qi Ming mentioned, but Miyano Shiho suddenly realized what Qi Ming meant by visiting relatives in his plan.

I remember Qi Ming telling me this rumor before: a woman named Akai Mary is her mother's older sister.

"Mr. Qi Ming, do you mean that our mother has an older sister?"

"Correct."

Akemi Miyano's eyes widened; she immediately noticed Mary Akai's surname.

Akai.

This surname is actually not very common, and Miyano Akemi quickly associated it with Akai Shuichi.

"Mr. Qi Ming, could she be related to Shuichi Akai?!"

Seeing this, Shiho Miyano quickly tried to stop Qi Ming from revealing the answer.

However, Qi Ming spoke up first.

"Yes, it's her eldest son."

"……Yeah."

Akemi Miyano's mood immediately sank.

In other words, my ex-boyfriend is my mother's sister's son?

cousin?!

"..."

Miyano Shiho squinted and pinched Qi Ming's hand.

Let you talk fast!

Do you know how much psychological damage this news will cause my sister?!

Qi Ming was taken aback and stared at Miyano Akemi.

"Um, do you need me to erase that memory from your mind?"

"Actually, think about it more positively. You're the fourth generation, so it's not a big problem. Besides, nowadays..."

Shiho Miyano, not wanting Qi Ming to continue talking nonsense, decisively stepped forward and covered Qi Ming's mouth.

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. None of his rumors are credible."

Akemi Miyano didn't say anything, but stood there and took several deep breaths.

With her expression softening, Akemi Miyano spoke calmly.

"I'm fine. Let's go find our aunt."

"..."

Qi Ming had a feeling that Miyano Akemi would never believe in love again in her life.

Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Qi Ming checked the surveillance footage and quickly located Akai Mary's location.

There's also Mary Akai's daughter, Sera Masumi.

"By the way, your aunt is quite young, don't be surprised when you see her."

As they boarded the elevator, Qi Ming spoke to the Miyano sisters.

Quite young?

At this point, Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano believed that Qi Ming was referring to Akai Mary, who looked young.

In front of room 1324.

The three stopped in their tracks. Although they hadn't gone inside yet, Qi Ming had already noticed the sign on the door.

[Mom, I've already asked at the Metropolitan Police Department. Vermouth was there last time because a guy named Qi Ming accepted a mission from the Metropolitan Police Department, and Qi Ming took her with him.]

[Qi Ming...what's his relationship with Vermouth?]

[I don't know, maybe they were teammates? The live stream ended too quickly, I didn't see them interact... But I really didn't expect that the Metropolitan Police Department couldn't find Vermouth's identity.]

[Ha, if it were that easy to find out, this organization would have been wiped out long ago.]

Qi Ming raised an eyebrow.

I never imagined he would be so famous now.

Judging from their conversation, could it be that they saw their own live stream when they went to arrest the judge last time?

"So, is there a problem? I'll open the door now, okay?"

Qi Ming looked at Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano and said.

"go in."

The two of them looked completely indifferent.

But it's normal to think that way; relatives you've hardly ever met are no different from outsiders.

Even if this person is their mother's sister.

"Okay, then I'll knock on the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming kicked the door.

click-

The door lock was broken and slammed against the wall.

"..."

Inside the room, Mary Akai and Masumi Sera turned to look at the door almost simultaneously, their hearts pounding because of the loud noise they had just heard.

"Alright, let me introduce you."

Qi Ming ignored Shiho Miyano's glare and pointed at a short-haired girl.

"This is Sera Masumi, Mary Akai's youngest daughter."

Then, Qi Ming pointed to a mixed-race blonde girl who looked to be about ten years old next to Sera Masumi.

"This is Mary Akai, your mother's older sister."

"..."

Shiho Miyano and Akemi Miyano looked curiously at Masumi Sera, but their eyes eventually fell on Mary Akai.

So that's what Qi Ming meant by "young"...

But isn't it a bit too young for a girl who is only a teenager to be their mother's older sister?
