Model worker and his little darling

Ping Qing clicked his tongue. Why did he do that in the first place?

Is the intention to make these two live a better life and behave themselves?

Is it to satisfy one's savior mentality of being superior and able to control others? And then to give alms to these poor people?

Huh~

He's probably gone mad.

Looking at the trembling Haibara, Vermouth gave a mocking smile.

After stabbing Haibara twice, Hirai turned his attention back to Shuichi Akai. He hated the FBI more than Haibara.

He shouted at Shuichi Akai, who was hiding, "Shuichi Akai, do you want to know what your girlfriend Akemi Miyano said before she died?"

Receiving no response, Pingqing checked the system and found that the two were still standing still.

"Oh, I forgot, you only used Miyano Akemi, why would you care about the last words of a dead person? After all, the car accident that led to your meeting was intentional on your part. Even with my hard work just now, you didn't waver at all, which shows that Miyano Akemi has no place in your heart."

"That's true. Back then, you abandoned Miyano Akemi without any mercy in order to leave the organization. Miyano Akemi was your closest person and also your stepping stone to entering the organization. You knew that your defection would subject her to the organization's most severe punishment."

"But you still ran away alone. Oh, I see. Akemi Miyano of the organization is dead, but Jodie from the FBI is still around. Anyway, you didn't lose anything."

"What a pity, the peaceful lives of those two sisters were ultimately ruined by you. I never thought that the FBI, which prides itself on justice, would do something like toying with other people's feelings."

As they talked, Hirakiyo realized that he had said the same thing to Miyano Akemi.

These two are incredibly lucky to have met him in their lifetime.

Vermouth chuckled lightly, "Mishika, they're the FBI, why would they care about the life or death of a Japanese person? Especially since this person is from our organization."

"Oh, I see. I was too young and inexperienced."

He then waved his phone at Haibara and said softly, "However, I think Ms. Sherry would really like to hear this recording. This is a gift from me to commemorate our reunion."

As he spoke, Pingqing began playing the recording.

This was recorded when we were monitoring Akemi Miyano; it's all natural and unadulterated.

With the help of a loudspeaker, everyone present can hear clearly.

"Shiho, it's my fault for being incompetent. I couldn't protect you properly, and I couldn't take you away from the organization..."

Akemi Miyano's voice rang out in the silent dock, broken and choked with sobs.

"My Lord~, if only you weren't an FBI agent and I weren't part of this organization..."

He didn't know how Shuichi Akai was doing, but Ai Haibara was almost crying herself to death.

Oh, and there's also Judy, who's incredibly pitiful.

Because of his parents' death and his fierce confrontation with Vermouth, he thought he could control the situation and capture Vermouth, but the situation turned around and he got injured.

Then Shuichi Akai appeared, and she thought it was hope, but instead, she was injured even more and became unable to move. Now she has to listen to the recording filled with Akemi Miyano's longing and love for Shuichi Akai.

Tragic, too tragic.

Pingqing suddenly remembered Conan, whom he had sent to America. What a pity, he missed such a wonderful show. If he knew what happened tonight, he would probably regret it to death.

Thinking of Conan's terrifying protagonist aura, he should just stay in America and cry for a few more days. Children don't need to participate in such thrilling and exciting games.

Who knows what trajectory that soccer ball will take when it hits you? And if something else happens to land on it, you'll have nowhere to cry.

Vermouth lit a cigarette and glanced at the unusually excited Hirakiyo beside her. She hadn't expected Hirakiyo to have something like this. Back then, she hadn't even come to Japan yet.

During the surveillance, she overheard Akemi Miyano's last words and recorded them. Was she planning to play them for Shuichi Akai when she encountered him?

So, she'll have to ask Pingqing how many "good things" she still has when she gets back.

After the recording finished playing, the dock fell silent once again.

Jodie and Shuichi Akai remained rooted to the spot. Mishika and Vermouth were at the exit, and there was a sniper outside. He wasn't confident he could escape with the heavily wounded Jodie.

Judging from Vermouth and Yushiro's relaxed demeanor, he knew there were definitely still people from their group outside. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that someone was already watching him.

Hopefully, James noticed something was wrong here soon, otherwise, they're going to be in trouble.

"Miss Shirley, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Haibara didn't react; she was still immersed in her sister's voice.

“Miss Shirley, it’s dangerous here. I’ll have someone take you away first. You grew up in this organization, and after being away for so long, it’s time for you to go home.”

Haibara nodded stiffly; she had no choice but to obey.

To prevent Haibara from doing something rash, Taira Kiyoshi still gave her a word of advice.

"Be a good boy, or you'll know what will happen. Professor Agasa, Ayumi Yoshida, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Genta Kojima..."

Upon hearing their names, Haibara recalled how Mishikazu had blown up Professor Agasa in her dream. She looked up at Hirai and asked, "What did you do to the professor?"

"That depends on you. If you don't obey, I can't guarantee what I might do to him. As for now, he's probably dreaming. I don't think Shirley would let her savior go to the interrogation room."

Because she had been crying for so long, Haibara's voice was a little hoarse. "I'll go with you. Don't hurt the Doctor and the others. They don't know anything."

Wow, the PhD knows this better than anyone else.

Ping Qing smiled and nodded, "Of course, I have always respected the elderly and cared for the young, treating them all equally."

Seeing that ambiguous smile, Haibara silently followed Taira no Kiyoshi's men.

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young? Whatever you say goes.

Ping Qing shrugged. In his eyes, Professor Agasa and Conan were treated the same. They were both given peanuts. Wasn't that fair enough?

It was rather strange that when she heard about Professor Agasa, Haibara immediately looked at him.

Haibara shouldn't know what he did to Professor Agasa. Could it be that she's pinning some random thing on him?

With Haibara's matter settled, the most important event began.

At this dock, containers are stacked at varying heights, along with piles of planks and steel. Some places are narrow and the passageways are dark; one could easily trip over them if not careful.

It's practically a natural playground, perfect for playing games.

"The fireworks display has begun, it's time for our game to start too."

Vermouth raised an eyebrow slightly. "I'm really looking forward to it."
