"Officer, I don't want to call the police anymore, I want to assault a police officer now."

The patrol officer, who was dispatched after someone called the police to report a burglar breaking into his home, was now facing Jiang Jin's gun barrel, his back soaked with cold sweat.

He forced himself to calm down and said sternly, "You two better think this through. Reinforcements are on their way, and you'd better put down your guns right now!"

“Heh, I’ll leave before then.” Jiang Jin released the safety on his gun, and Akai Shuichi raised his hand to grip the muzzle. “Killing a police officer will get her into trouble.”

Jiang Jin glanced sideways: "You mean Sherry? She didn't kill anyone. It's just a safe house; we can just move to another one. It's because Akai-kun wouldn't obediently leave with the police."

Shuichi Akai acted because he knew that if he didn't stop it, the young man would definitely kill the patrolman. It wasn't that he was particularly kind and wanted to save someone; it was just that if the patrolman died, he would be in big trouble.

If an FBI officer dies where the FBI is present, it will be difficult to explain the situation later. They just want to investigate discreetly and don't want to get into trouble.

Shuichi Akai twisted the hand that was gripping the gun muzzle, trying to restrain Jiang Jin's wrist. The young man's dark red eyes narrowed dangerously. He released the gun with his right hand and caught it from below with his left hand, switching hands in the blink of an eye.

"Run!" Shuichi Akai immediately grabbed Jiang Jin's left hand and shouted to the patrol officer. The officer, not caring why Akai was helping him, turned and ran. He needed to quickly notify the other officers who were arriving; there was more than one assailant, and they were armed!

Jiang Jin raised his hand to fire, but Akai Shuichi struck his arm, causing the shot to miss. Jiang Jin then turned his gun around and targeted Akai Shuichi, who immediately rolled away and hid behind the sofa.

"I advise you to leave now. That patrolman has already called for reinforcements. If you make too much of a commotion, the higher-ups won't be happy."

Jiang Jin ground his canine teeth. He was extremely red-faced. He fired a few shots at the sofa and headed towards it. Hearing his footsteps, Akai Shuichi threw a vase he had somehow acquired at him.

With a "crack!", Jiang Jin dodged the vase as it shattered on the floor. Akai Shuichi flipped over the sofa and threw a powerful punch at Jiang Jin's face. Jiang Jin immediately dodged and raised his right elbow to strike.

Shuichi Akai took an elbow strike, then grabbed Jiang Jin's arm and twisted it backward, while simultaneously using his other hand to control Jiang Jin's left hand, trying to disarm him. Jiang Jin slid out a knife with his right hand, the tip pointing upward and slashing his own hand as well. Shuichi Akai was forced to release his grip, otherwise Jiang Jin's knife would have severed his wrist.

"Are you this ruthless to yourself too?" Shuichi Akai said.

Jiang Jin didn't answer, but instead raised his knee and swept his long leg towards Akai Shuichi's abdomen. Akai Shuichi also kicked to block, and the two long legs collided knee to knee. If anyone else had been hit in the abdomen like that, they would definitely not have been able to get up.

Both of them were pushed back by the force of the impact. The sirens outside sounded. Jiang Jin glanced at them, then raised his hand and fired several more shots at Akai Shuichi.

"You wait."

Jiang Jin jumped out of the back window. Akai Shuichi naturally didn't chase after him. Instead, he called James. In this situation, he obviously needed to find someone to get him out of jail.

"Heh, in some ways, that guy has succeeded in his goal."

When the owner of the house, Ai Haibara, returned home that evening and saw the mess in the living room, she immediately made a phone call to Jiang Jin.

At this moment, Jiang Jin was hiding himself in the shadows, his dark red eyes like those of some dangerous snake, staring intently at the police station.

"Shirley, is there something you need?"

"What do you think? You were the one who said you were going to stake out Shuichi Akai during the day at my house, right? I'd like to ask you, what's going on here with bullet holes, smashed vases, and overturned chairs all over the living room?" Ai Haibara's voice came through the phone.

Jiang Jin stared intently at the police station entrance and replied lazily, "That was all Shuichi Akai's doing, it has nothing to do with me. Do you want him to compensate you? I can help you."

"Next time you do something, please be a little more considerate of my furniture... no, it would be better if you didn't do anything in my house at all."

Jiang Jin's eyes lit up when he saw the people coming out of the police station, and his tone became urgent: "Okay, okay, I have something to do, I'll hang up now. I'll find someone to help you with the furniture."

"Du, du..."

Haibara sighed and turned to go up to the second floor.

Jiang Jin, like a ghost, followed the person who came out of the police station from the shadows.

After getting completely away from the police station, Jiang Jin quickened his pace and passed by the other person. He only heard a faint sound of a knife cutting through skin before the other person collapsed, clutching his neck.

That was during the day; it was the patrol officer who had gotten away. Before leaving get off work, his colleagues had said he was lucky that day…

Inside the second-floor laboratory, Ai Haibara stared blankly at the latest research report. Although she had only begun accepting her parents' research under the organization's orders, what Ai Haibara truly wanted to research was completely different from what her parents wanted to study.

However, the higher-ups were unaware of this idea, and she naturally hadn't told anyone. Ai Haibara put down her lab report, got up, and left the lab, placing a media player on the single sofa where she was resting.

Ai Haibara curled up on the sofa, hugging a body pillow, as a gentle woman's voice played from the player—"Happy tenth birthday to my little Shiho..."

A Li's house.

"Hello, is this the person who called to have the water pipes repaired?" A man in a blue repairman's uniform knocked on Professor Agasa's door. Professor Agasa, who was soaking wet, nodded. "Ah, it's me. Honestly, I don't know how the water pipes suddenly got water everywhere."

Professor Agasa ushered the repairman into the house. The repairman's eyes quickly scanned the room before he asked Professor Agasa, "Where are your water pipes?"

"Here……"

A section of the water pipe outside the house broke for some reason. After inspecting it, the repairman said, "You should have a spare water pipe of this model, right? They should have left you a spare when the water pipes were first installed. Could you please find it and I'll replace it with the new one?"

Professor Agasa nodded: "It seems there is indeed one. Please wait a moment while I go to the warehouse to look for it."

The repairman watched Professor Agasa leave, opened the second compartment of his toolbox, took something out, went inside, and returned before Professor Agasa came back.

Dr. Agasa had no idea what the repairman had done; he came out of the warehouse carrying a spare section of water pipe that he had found there.

The water pipe was quickly repaired, and Professor Agasa thanked him and saw the repairman to the door. The repairman, carrying his toolbox, walked out of the vicinity of Agasa's house, turned the corner, and headed towards a yellow Detamaso sports car.

This is clearly not a car that a mechanic can afford to drive.

The mechanic opened the car door, got in, took off her hat, reached behind her ear, and tore off her mask to reveal a beautiful face. This mechanic was none other than Vermouth in disguise; she took out an earphone and a small transmitter from the passenger seat.

Professor Agasa's voice came through the earphones—"Shinichi, I've had the water pipes in the house fixed, you don't need to worry..."

Vermouth narrowed her eyes slightly, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "Shinichi Kudo..."

Japanese TV station.

Akemi Miyano has been working here for two months, and no one has contacted her during that time, not even Toyago. Now, she lives her life just like a normal assistant intern at a TV station. Sometimes, Akemi Miyano even forgets that she is still a member of the organization.

However, this feeling did not make Akemi Miyano feel safe. She hoped that she would have a mission and be needed by the organization.

"Hello, Department Head Ono." Miyano Akemi greeted Ono Shi, the head of the newspaper department, as she saw him in the corridor.

Aside from the first time he introduced her to Rena Mizunashi, the news chief had almost never appeared again. Akemi Miyano even thought he was also a member of the organization, but sometimes she could sense that Ono Shi seemed to be secretly observing Rena Mizunashi.

This obvious act of secretly observing made Miyano Akemi feel that Ono Shi was probably not related to the organization, and perhaps he was just secretly in love with him.

"Yes, it's Ms. Nagata." Onoshi nodded to Miyano Akemi. To be honest, ever since Miyano Akemi arrived, he had been looking forward to Jiang Jin making some big move, but there had been no movement for so long. Onoshi could only crawl in the shadows and observe Mizunashi Rena in secret.

The two greeted each other politely and then passed by, just like ordinary colleagues, each hiding their other face and pretending to be an ordinary person.

Akemi Miyano's phone rang. She took it out and saw it was Toyako. He had finally contacted her.

"Ms. Miyano, how's work at the TV station lately?"

Jiang Jin's voice came through the phone. Miyano Akemi glanced around and then replied, "Is there some kind of mission? Also, have you finished dealing with that matter you asked me for my mother's photo last time?"

“It’s all done. Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything that would affect your mother or Shirley,” Jiang Jin replied. “Alright, now that you’re doing well at the TV station, you can move on to your mission.”

"What mission?" Akemi Miyano asked.

"Keep an eye on Rena Mizunashi."

"You're going to spy on Rena Mizunashi too?" Akemi Miyano asked, somewhat surprised. Jiang Jin immediately asked, "Who else?"

“Onoshi, that news minister,” Miyano Akemi replied. Jiang Jin thought for a moment and said, “Oh, I see. It’s okay. Just remember not to get too close to him.”

Akemi Miyano nodded: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Miyano Akemi saw Mizunashi Rena walking towards her. She put away her phone and went over to her...

"jingle……"

The wind chimes swayed as the door was pushed open, and a blond-haired young man walked into the shop. Immediately, a fearless cat approached him, curiously watching the unfamiliar customer enter.

"Hello, are you hiring any staff here?" Furuya Rei looked around and then asked Enomoto Azusa, who was wiping cups. Enomoto Azusa saw Furuya Rei's eyes light up slightly and then nodded in reply, "The boss is indeed hiring staff. Please wait a moment, I'll go get the boss."

Soon, Enomoto Azusa and a young woman came out from behind. The woman smiled slightly when she saw Furuya Rei: "Hello, I'm Takanashi Hina, the owner of Poirot Cat Cafe. Azusa said you're here to apply for a job as a clerk, right?"

“Yes.” Rei Furuya pointed to the notice on the blackboard outside the shop. “I saw that and that’s why I came to ask. My name is Tooru Amuro, and I can make some cakes and sandwiches. Is that alright?”

Hina Takanashi circled around Rei Furuya once, then nodded and said, "No problem, but you're not allergic to cat fur, right? As you can see, this is a cat café. Besides serving guests, I also have to take care of these little guys."

“There’s absolutely no problem,” Furuya Rei said.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Takanashi Hina asked Enomoto Azusa to show Furuya Rei around the work environment, while she herself returned to her lounge with a strange smile.

[The Winery Family]

Long Tao: "Family members, it's possible that I'll be included in the main storyline!"

Lu Renjia: "Tell me your story."

Xiao Renwu: "What's wrong? What's wrong!"

Jinjiang: "Eating melon seeds."

Long Tao: "Bourbon! The king of part-time jobs is here! He's come to my shop! I thought I'd have to wait a long time."

Jinjiang: "Oh, so it's Zero. Maybe he's there to investigate Conan."

Pei Nan: "No, Immersion God. Stop calling me A-Ling, it's really brainwashing!"

She Chu: "I'm a little scared now. If I see Bourbon one day, I might blurt out 'Ah Ling'."

Jinjiang: "You laughed. What did Ah Ling do to you?"

Long Tao: "I've become the owner of Bourbon now, it feels pretty cool."

Jinjiang: "You'd better not act too strangely. Bourbon isn't on the red side now. It's dangerous if he suspects you."

Long Tao: "It's wrapped."

Bu Xuexi: "Wait, did you receive the badges?"

Hao Qinkuai: "Received it. I think you have potential and I plan to invest in you. The contract has already been sent."

Bu Xuexi: "Is this what a domineering CEO is like?"

Hao Qinkuai: "This profession is called President, CEO, Chief Executive Officer."

Xiao Renwu: "I'm curious, does your CEO fall for a pretty, innocent girl who has no money, power, or ability, and then give her checks for hundreds of millions?"

Hao Qinkuai: "No, what you're talking about is called poverty alleviation."

Jinjiang: "Dude, you sound really rich. Do you have a chance to become the organization's biggest investor? That way I can also get on your good side."

Hao Qinkuai: "Currently, I believe my current status belongs to one of the four major conglomerates, so I have this plan."

Lu Renjia: "You wouldn't happen to be from the Suzuki family, would you?"

Hao Qinkuai: "...We are somewhat related."

Jiang Jin looked at the group chat with an expression that said he'd just stumbled upon some juicy gossip, but before he could even finish digesting it, his phone rang: "Miss Chris, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Didn't you say you were going to kill that kid named Conan?" Vermouth's voice came through the phone. "I have a plan, but I can't do it alone."
