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

Killing's musical genius was highly praised by Chris Vineyard, and his mother, Sharon Vineyard, also lauded him.

It has to be said that the media is good at creating hype.

Vermouth was stunned by this assessment.

How long has Sharon been famous, and how old is Qi Ming?

Just because someone has died doesn't mean you can spread rumors without sending a lawyer's letter!

“Chris Vineyard…”

Conan rubbed his chin as he looked at the blurry photo on his phone.

He also came to a similar conclusion to Ai Haibara: the person who pushed Qi Ming out must be in cahoots with Qi Ming.

However, because of Qi Ming's style of doing things, he is not sure if Qi Ming is a member of the organization.

Or perhaps it comes from another organization, the same organization as Harley Quinn.

Conan now knows that the full names of Gin and Vodka are actually Gin and Vodka.

He happened to be there the day Tequila died.

He overheard Tequila's phone call reporting his work and learned the names of vodka and gin.

Now, Conan finally has some understanding of the organization.

For example, all members of the organization are greeted by the names of the alcoholic beverages they are associated with.

Now that I think about it, there's Lao Qin, Lao Fu, Shirley, and Madeira.

These four names mixed together are like a mix between Aisin Gioro Ma and Yehenara Xue.

He ended up with a bunch of people like Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi.

Their temperaments are completely different!

After brainstorming for a while, Conan smiled slightly.

If Qi Ming's contact person at the Japanese store is Yoko Okino, then it would be a good opportunity for him to obtain information.

Yoko Okino had previously entrusted Kogoro Mouri with a mission, and after the mission was completed, they became friends.

Conan was planning to call Yoko Okino sometime to ask her about Qi Ming.

"By the way, Haibara-san, is Qi Ming free that day about us going to the ball game together?"

Thinking of yesterday's suggestion, Mitsuhiko asked Ai Haibara.

Ai Haibara nodded: "Yes, he's fine."

"Great! Let's meet at Professor Agasa's house then, it's pretty close to Haibara's house!"

Conan felt he couldn't quite understand their conversation.

What are you talking about?

"Oh, Conan, you weren't here yesterday." Mitsuhiko clasped his hands together apologetically.

"It's the Emperor's Cup! We invited Haibara and Qi Ming to come and play with us yesterday."

"what?!"

Conan's face turned terrified.

Play?

That's a spicy ball!

Invite Qi Ming to that kind of place?

You are truly the finest flowers of our nation!

Of everyone present, only Conan knew what kind of person Qi Ming was and what he had done.

What if he went crazy on the spot?!

"Conan, why do you look so serious? What's wrong? Don't you want Qi Ming to go?"

Mitsuhiko asked with some confusion.

"Huh? No, how could that be?"

Conan gave an awkward laugh.

"Could Conan still be a little resentful that Qi Ming stole the spotlight at the theater last time?"

Genta chuckled and bumped Conan's shoulder.

"Hahaha."

Conan felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

Can I tell you that Qi Ming is actually a madman who treats human life like dirt?

Do you believe me if I tell you this?

the other side.

Seeing Conan's reaction, Ai Haibara sighed deeply.

Unaware of the background, she simply assumed that Conan doubted Qi Ming's statement from that morning and thought there was something wrong with Qi Ming.

"Oh, right, Edogawa-kun."

Ai Haibara asked Conan.

"What did you and my brother talk about yesterday? He seemed a bit strange after he came back that day."

"And today you seemed a little afraid of him too."

Conan's eyelids twitched.

"How could that be? Why would I be afraid of Brother Qi Ming? Hahaha, well, it looks like the bell is about to ring, so I'll go back to my seat."

Is the content of his conversation with Qi Ming something that can be revealed?

Conan gave a perfunctory reply and went to his seat with his backpack.

Perhaps because of Qi Ming's involvement, Conan and Ai Haibara are no longer deskmates at school.

……

Soon, the morning's classes came to an end.

Ms. Kobayashi Sumiko walked into the classroom, carrying a stack of holiday safety pledge forms.

"Students, today is the start of the holiday. I wish you all a happy new year!"

"Students in the first row, please distribute the pledge. Everyone should read it before signing."

Yes, that's right.

We have a holiday again today.

I don't know what the rules are at Teitan School, but we only need to attend half a day of school on the day before the holiday.

The children hurriedly took the safety commitment form and signed their names without even looking at it.

"Alright, Happy New Year everyone!"

Sumiko Kobayashi collected the pledge and clapped her hands in response.

"Great!"

Happy New Year, teacher! Bye-bye!

The children, carrying their schoolbags, rushed out of the classroom.

Ai Haibara glanced at her phone, and after a while, she put it back in her bag.

Qi Ming probably still thought that school would end around 3 p.m. today.

However, she still doesn't plan to call Qi Ming today.

To avoid embarrassing yourself later.

She didn't want another "princess invites you to get in the car" situation.

"Haibara-san, let's go back together."

"Ah."

……

The five people were walking home from school.

Ai Haibara is now somewhat regretting going with them.

Or rather, she could accept the same lineup of people going home from school as yesterday.

The problem is that there's one more person today.

There was one more person, someone who looked like a little bee and was constantly buzzing around them, someone no one could stand.

"Hey, what kind of person is Haibara's brother at home?"

"Hey, does Brother Qi Ming go out often?"

“Na na, na na…”

"Edogawa-kun."

Ai Haibara finally couldn't stand Conan's incessant chatter any longer and said expressionlessly.

“My brother had a die-hard fan who found out I was his sister and asked me these questions.”

"Uh, well, then what?" Conan scratched his head awkwardly.

“Then…” Ai Haibara gave Conan a meaningful look.

"And then I never saw that person again."

Conan's heart skipped a beat.

Wha, what do you mean?

Conan inexplicably sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Ai Haibara.

"When I saw him again, he had already been arrested and was on TV."

But then Ai Haibara uttered a few words, and the sense of danger vanished.

"...Is that so? Haha, haha."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

That's terrifying! This girl really breathes very heavily when she talks.

Wow, what a beautiful kimono!

Just then, the group passed by a kimono shop.

Ayumi inadvertently turned her head and saw the white kimono in the glass window. Her eyes lit up and she pressed herself against the window.

Ai Haibara followed Ayumi's gaze, but despite being a girl herself, she didn't feel anything when she saw the various kimonos inside.

After all, she had always received an American education.

"By the way, Haibara-san, how about we all go to the temple to pray for good luck on the day we go to the ball game?"

(I'm a bit busy today, I'll see if I can finish it tomorrow. I'm off, sob sob)
