Model worker and his little darling

As soon as the door opened, Pingqing saw a figure on the sofa.

Hmm? When did this model worker start slacking off? Did he corrupt her?

She walked straight over and hugged Gin from behind, "Gin-chan~, aren't you busy today?"

"After the purge, the people below are much more obedient. You just got together with Vermouth."

"how do you know?"

"You smell of her perfume on you."

Pingqing was shocked. He got up, picked up his clothes, and smelled them. There was no smell. How did Gin know?

Thinking of this, Heikiri glanced at Gin and asked, "Gin-chan, how did you smell it?"

"Do you know your sister so well? You even know what perfume she wears."

"Hiss, could those rumors be true?"

"So you two do have an unusual relationship then."

As Gin listened to Heikichi's mutterings, his face grew darker and darker. Where did this ridiculous news come from?

"When did you start?"

"Was this from when you went to America? I didn't notice it."

As Pingqing's words became increasingly outrageous, Gin stood up abruptly, grabbed Pingqing's chin, and said fiercely, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

Oops, I think I said something wrong.

"Koto-chan~, I... I just said it casually."

Gin snorted coldly, grabbed Hirakiyo, and bit down on his collarbone.

Feeling the stinging pain, Pingqing cursed inwardly. He had only meant to get hurt yesterday, he hadn't meant it for real.

"Damn it, Gin, are you a dog?"

Upon hearing this, Gin released Heikiyo and whispered in his ear, "Mishika, do you know who I'm connected to now?"

Hearing Gin's dangerous voice, Taira gritted his teeth and bit back.

Hmph, Gin actually bullied him, a patient.

Seeing that Heikiri had taken several bites, Gin slapped Heikiri on the waist. The kid was quite vengeful.

"what--"

Pingqing screamed and pressed his hand to his lower back, where he had been punched by Akai Shuichi and slapped by Gin. If these people wanted him dead, they should have just said so. Why did they have to torture him like this?

Seeing the pained look on Hirai's face, Gin realized something was wrong.

Pingqing wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes; it hurt terribly.

So he took out his phone and sent messages to those media outlets he was familiar with.

Former popular idol Dai Moroboshi has arrived in Japan with his girlfriend.

Then she sent over photos of Shuichi Akai and Jodie. Hmph, Shuichi Akai's whereabouts are well-known, but many people at Teitan High School have seen Jodie's face.

The faces of the FBI agents who came to Japan are now in the public eye. I wonder what the Americans think.

After finishing his business, Pingqing simply sat down on the sofa; he was busy day after day.

Gin saw that Hirai had put down his phone, so he pulled him into his arms and asked, "Does it still hurt?" He then touched Hirai's waist.

Ping Qing gave a cold laugh. "What do you think?"

"I was wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Taira was taken aback; Gin had actually said he was wrong.

"Koto-chan~, how do you know my sister's perfume scent?"

“I hate that smell, and everything you said is fake. I don’t have the kind of relationship with her that you think.”

After listening, Pingqing hummed in agreement, indicating that she understood.

Gin could tell from Hirakiyo's expression that he didn't believe him. He sighed helplessly. What a mess this was.

Time passed amidst Pingqing's constant bickering.

[Host, Kid is here.]

Hearing the system's voice, Ping Qing was stunned for a moment. Kidd?

It's not surprising that Kidd was able to find his place, but what was he doing there?

The last time they met was when he tied Kid to the Tokyo Tower. Logically, Kid should have considered him an enemy, so why was he sneaking over there at night?

"Xiao Qi, is Kidd here to see me?"

What else?

"What does he want from me?"

【Host, Kid is at the coffee shop on that street ahead. Why don't you just go ask him?】

"He came to me, not the other way around."

In the picture, Kidd is sitting alone in a coffee shop, resting his chin on his hand and gazing out the window, looking somewhat anxious, confused, and expectant...

Ping Qing frowned. What had happened to Kid that made him come to him for help?

Compared to the other detectives, Taira no Kiyoshi prefers the phantom thief, Kid.

Seeing that Gin was busy with his own things, Hirai went out to find Kid, wanting to see what was going on.

Heiji walked into the coffee shop and sat down directly opposite Kaito. "Kaito-kun, what brings you here?"

Kidd looked at Pingqing, "So you knew I was coming."

Pingqing tapped the table lightly. "Hmm, aren't you afraid I'll tie you to the Tokyo Tower again? If I'm unhappy, I might just kill you."

"You won't." Kidd didn't know why, but he just felt that the person in front of him wouldn't hurt him.

Upon receiving that call, he immediately thought of this person, the enormous black wings behind him, and the enigmatic expression on his face.

I had a gut feeling that this person should know something, so I came.

Since the other party already knows his past, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that Kaito was not afraid at all, Taira Kiyoshi smiled slightly, "It seems that Kaito trusts me a lot."

"India's largest sapphire - Blue Birthday".

Ping Qing blinked. What was that?

"Kaito-kun, is this your target this time? Or do you want me to come with you to steal the jewel?"

Do you know who else in the world is interested in this gem?

Ping Qing was speechless. He didn't care about gems, so how would he know about such things? Suddenly, it dawned on him: Could it be that Kidd had encountered that organization?

"Did someone warn you not to touch the gemstones?"

Kidd's eyes lit up instantly. "You really do know everything. Tell me quickly, who is this person?"

Judging from the other person's tone, it must be related to his father. He wants to find out the truth about who killed Kaito Kid, his father Kuroba Toichi, eight years ago.

Then he carefully recounted the phone call he received to Pingqing.

"Kaito, what can you offer in return? I don't do business at a loss." Taira no Kiyoshi hadn't expected that Kid would contact him because of that organization.

Kidd was taken aback. What could he possibly offer in return?

"May I give you the jewel, or, Lord Demon, do you prefer my soul?"

Ping Qing's lips twitched. He wasn't a real demon; why would he need a soul? But that organization was quite intriguing; he'd get to meet them this time.

"Kaito, I'm going with you on this mission. From now on, you can call me Big Brother. As for the demon thing, I was just joking. Don't take it to heart."

Kidd nodded. "Not a demon, probably a magician, just like that Red Child."

Pingqing thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember what the plot was.

"I will begin the operation at eight o'clock tomorrow night."

"Well, I see."

After saying that, the two left the coffee shop.

After returning home, Heikichi told Gin about his plan to steal jewels with Kid.

"Kidd? When did you become interested in gems?"

"It's not that I'm interested in the gems, it's that I'm interested in the people in that organization."

Gin snorted coldly, "Those mysterious, secretive people, you're still injured, be careful."

Although he didn't want Pingqing to go, he couldn't stop him.
