Model worker and his little darling

Good morning, Brother Pingqing!

Pingqing looked at the three little ones who greeted her obediently and opened the car door. "Get in."

As soon as they got in the car, the three kids started chattering about what they were going to eat. Pingqing glanced at Conan in the passenger seat, who was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

Ever since Ran talked to Conan a couple of days ago, Conan has been spacing out by himself. Ran is worried sick and even came over to ask him what's wrong with Conan.

After following Professor Agasa's car to the mountainside, they saw a temple, and the three little ones excitedly stared at it.

"Wow, there's a temple over there, and lots of people too."

"It looks like they're filming a movie."

"Brother Pingqing, can we go take a look?"

"Don't you have a detective team badge? Tell the professor, and let's go take a look together."

"Okay!"

And so, the group marched toward the temple in a grand procession.

Haibara followed behind Professor Agasa, silently observing Hirai. Conan told her everything they had talked about, and she now trusted Hirai a little more.

Ping glanced at the crowd filming in the distance, and his expression instantly soured. The older man, along with Ran and Sonoko, were watching Yoko Okino act, with Tooru Amuro standing nearby.

I was surprised to learn that the older man had mentioned going to watch Yoko Okino film a movie, but it turns out they all ended up together.

After what happened at the company last time, Hirakiyo told Director Kinoshita directly that if there was anything that needed to be done with Uncle Mori in the future, they should go outside to discuss it, and under no circumstances should they bring him back to the company.

However, he's been meeting with Amuro Tooru quite a bit lately, so he might easily slip up.

Thinking of this, Ping Qing tried his best to be gentle and act differently from Yu Lu. Tsk, it's all his fault for using Yu Lu's identity for too long lately.

This change was quickly noticed by Conan and Ai Haibara. Conan leaned close to Hirai, "Hirai-nii, did you notice something?"

"Not sure."

Conan followed Hirai's gaze and his eyes lit up when he saw Ran. Turning his head, he saw Amuro Tooru, with dark skin and blond hair, who was the organization member Hirai had mentioned—Bourbon.

"Brother Pingqing, is it him?"

"Yes."

Ping Qing was also somewhat speechless. He had just talked to Conan about Touko, and now they had run into her. Was it really forbidden to casually talk about others in the world of Detective Conan?

At that moment, Haibara froze, sensing the presence of the organization. It was different from what she had sensed on Taira, indicating that there were other members of the organization present.

After taking only two steps, Conan noticed that Ai Haibara was still standing in the same spot, looking quite frightened. Judging from Haibara's behavior, it was clear that there were organized groups nearby.

Conan immediately put his hat on Ai Haibara's head and said, "If you're scared, you can stay with Hirai-nii. He won't hurt you."

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

Um... that's hard to say.

Haibara glanced at Hirakiyo and nodded slightly.

Leading a group of children, Ayumi walked over to Uncle Mori's side. When she saw Amuro Tooru, she was overjoyed, "It's that big star, that undercover cop!"

Genta and Mitsuhiko excitedly rushed over to get autographs. Conan, seeing this, also joined in.

They were bursting with a sense of justice, and under Conan's guidance, they encountered many cases. Now, seeing Amuro Tooru playing the role of an undercover police officer, they were filled with immense admiration.

Pingqing also went over and greeted the uncle and Yoko Okino.

"Ah, Pingqing-ge, you guys are here too."

"Yeah, Professor Agasa said the mountaintop is a lot of fun, so he brought us here. How about it, want to come along?"

Sonoko glanced at the handsome Amuro Tooru, then at the children, and finally decided to stay and watch the handsome guy.

Xiaolan originally wanted to go for a walk, but seeing the state of the garden, she had no choice but to stay.

Amuro Tooru looked at the few children surrounding him who wanted autographs. After patiently signing his name, he looked up at Hirai. He had seen this person a few times before, but he didn't expect to run into him again today.

He had recently received a commendation from the Metropolitan Police Department, and he had seen the speech. He had a good impression of this patriotic person.

Taira nods slightly to Amuro Tooru, sensing that he is being watched, indicating that he has not revealed anything.

After saying hello, Professor Agasa prepared to take them to the mountaintop to play.

Seeing Haibara's still terrified expression, looking like she couldn't move, Hirai blinked. Was the organization's aura on Touko really that strong?

"Are you ok?"

Haibara looked up at Hirai, then immediately lowered her head again. "It's nothing."

Then he grabbed Professor Agasa's sleeve and followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, they saw a flat area, and the three little ones wanted to eat their lunch there.

Pingqing found a rock and sat down, looking at the unfamiliar flowers blooming in full bloom beside him; the scenery was quite nice.

They all went out today for Conan's sake, since Conan has been sullen these past few days and won't tell him what's on his mind. So Professor Agasa found the three kids, hoping that going out to play would cheer Conan up.

"Brother Pingqing, are you thinking about that guy named Bourbon?"

Pingqing glanced at Conan, who was leaning closer. "The protagonist is something else. Everyone is eager to get close to him."

"really."

“He’s an artist from Supernova Entertainment. We’ve all been there before. He became a sensation after starring in just two dramas. There must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. And the last time I went to that company with my uncle Ran, I felt something was off. Later, I had Professor Agasa investigate the company, but they didn’t find anything. I think Supernova is probably connected to the organization.”

Taira no Kiyoshi: ...

You were absolutely right; he was behind it all.

However, since he took over, he has dealt with all the shady things in the company, so even if someone notices something is wrong, they can't find any evidence.

"It's hard to say. It's possible that they deliberately chose a company with a clean background as a stepping stone in order to maintain their current identity, but the possibility is relatively small."

Conan nodded; that was a possibility.

Suddenly, Pingqing looked at Conan and said, "Speaking of which, when you approached Bourbon just now, you didn't do anything, did you? I heard that he's an extremely perceptive person and highly valued by the organization. If you had planted a listening device on him or something, you would definitely have been discovered."

This kid loves putting these little trinkets around.

Conan rolled his eyes. "Brother Pingqing, do you think I'm that kind of person? Besides, I know he's part of the organization. And he's with so many kids, including Ran and the others. How could I possibly act so impulsively?"

Ping Qing was surprised. "Wow, you've improved. Looks like those two shots weren't for nothing."

Sure enough, a good beating is all it takes to discipline a disobedient child; if that doesn't work, a couple of peanuts will do. See, now that they know pain, they don't dare to misbehave anymore.

Haibara looked at Hirai and Conan, who were huddled together whispering, and recalled the people who had been there earlier. Those strangers all seemed to her like members of the organization.

Noticing Haibara's gaze, Hirai sighed. Her vigilance was far greater than Conan's; she could detect members of the organization and had a keen eye for the back of the head.

If Conan had such a sensitive back of his head, Gin would definitely have fed him peanuts, and things wouldn't be like this today.
