Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

. . .

"You're back, Jing baby. Why do you look so tired?"

Fujiko took the white coat from Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand with a smile, and blinked his eyes slightly, obviously noticing the row of throwing knives that Shizuka Hiratsuka had tucked behind her waist.

"Oh my, it seems my baby is doing something bad~"

"Not really, I just brought it with me just in case." Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't think there was anything wrong with being discovered by Fujiko. After all, strictly speaking, Fujiko's identity was much more notorious than her own.

"Really? Is there anything I can help you with?" Fujiko asked tentatively with a slight shrug.

"Not for now. I'll tell you if I need it." Shaking her head, Shizuka Hiratsuka threw the knife belt on the coffee table and sat down with her legs crossed.

God knows how much experience she had spent trying to appease Conan.

"By the way, what are you looking at, Fujiko?" Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at Fujiko's open laptop with some curiosity, and blinked slightly at the news on it.

"Well, that's what I was about to ask you." Fujiko nodded with a smile, sat next to Shizuka Hiratsuka, and naturally put her arm around her.

"Jing darling, are you interested in catching a thief~"

"Eh?"

Chapter 239: If I Live with Fujiko in the Future

"Catch the Phantom Thief?"

Fujiko was surprised. Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and caught Shuai Shuai who ran out of the cat bed and jumped onto her knees.

"What Phantom Thief? You're not talking about yourself, are you? Or, Lupin and the others know you've come to Neon, and they're chasing you and you want me to help deal with it?"

"No, it has nothing to do with them." Fujiko waved her hand lightly and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka beside her with a smile.

"It's the Phantom Thief named Kidd that I told you about before."

"Oh, isn't he your friend's child? What did he do wrong that requires him to be caught?" The puzzled expression did not become relaxed. Instead, Shizuka Hiratsuka became even more puzzled.

"It's not really a wrongdoing. It's just that the kid took over his father's identity by chance and continued his activities, which made my friend a little worried. Although he seems to have good talent, he is still a young and energetic boy. In addition, after several actions, he didn't encounter any overly difficult obstacles. So my friend wanted me to help him. Let him suffer a little loss, so that he can be more cautious in the future~"

"What is this? A development game?" Shizuka Hiratsuka pinched her brows with a headache and felt very depressed.

"As elders, shouldn't you advise your juniors to study hard and become useful people?"

"Hey, why? What's wrong with being a phantom thief?" Fujiko looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka strangely, not knowing why she had to persuade her.

"...It's okay, I was wrong." Looking at Fujiko's innocent expression, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew that she had said something nonsense.

"There's no need to drag me into this. No matter what that kid says, whether it's skills or fame, it's unlikely to be as great as a world-famous female thief like you. You can handle this easily on your own, right?"

"That's true~" After hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's evaluation of herself, Fujiko smiled even more happily, and her arms around Hiratsuka Shizuka became tighter.

"But with the help of my dear Jing, the effect will be better~ Maybe it can give that narcissistic little boy a shocking experience~" Resting her chin on Shizuka Hiratsuka's shoulder, Fujiko's breath gently hit Shizuka Hiratsuka's cheek.

"Really?" She scratched her face. Although the hot breath made Shizuka Hiratsuka feel a little uncomfortable, her curiosity was aroused and she did not pay attention to Fujiko's actions for the time being.

No, it should be said that without even realizing it, Shizuka Hiratsuka had already been slowly adapting to Fujiko's overly enthusiastic actions.

"That's not impossible. Just tell me what to do when the time comes. I haven't done such interesting things before." Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka was very clear about what her job would be.

"How's the physical fitness of your junior? How's his skills?"

"Emmm, he's quite agile, but most of the time he likes to use those strange props of his, which have limited lethality. Jing baby, you have to hold back a bit and don't really hurt him." Fujiko, who knew Hiratsuka Shizuka's strength, smiled and shook her head.

In fact, what Shizuka Hiratsuka said was right. If Kaito Kidd wanted to suffer, Fujiko could arrange it clearly by herself. After all, she could easily get relevant operational information from Kuroba Chikage.

The reason why Fujiko invited Shizuka Hiratsuka was simply because she knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka had always been very interested in interesting things that she had never done before.

Well, to put it simply, Fujiko used the prank on Kaito Kid as a tool to further promote the relationship between herself and Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Poor Kidd.

"Okay, I understand. Then there's nothing to worry about." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile. She was already thinking about how she would dress herself when the time comes.

This kind of secret operation in the dark, or the action of punishing evil and catching thieves, doesn't it mean that she is a female hero?

With the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Shizuka Hiratsuka was already looking forward to that day.

"By the way, what's the name of your junior?"

"His name is Kuroba Kaito, and he's also a high school student~" Nodding with a smile, Fujiko came up sweetly as if she had thought of something interesting, and touched Hiratsuka Shizuka's face with her finger.

"And what's interesting is that he looks a lot like your nephew, Shinichi Kudo, who's been missing for a long time, dear Shizuka~"

"Huh? Fujiko, how do you know that Kudo Shinichi is missing?" Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Fujiko in front of her in surprise, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Because I know the people around Jingbaobei. Otherwise, I would always be flying around the world and only be with Jingbaobei occasionally. If I happened to meet them, it would be so embarrassing if we couldn't get along~" The beautiful eyes flickered slightly. Fujiko saw the turmoil in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes, but she seemed not to have seen half of it and continued to talk about her own things with a smile.

"Really? Sometimes I really think that the information on your dark web is very useful. You can find out anything." Feeling that there was nothing unnatural about Fujiko, Shizuka Hiratsuka secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had long known that Fujiko would investigate the people around her. She was worried that Fujiko's excessive investigation into Kudo Shinichi would attract unnecessary attention from others.

Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to put Conan in greater danger before figuring out the general situation of the mysterious organization.

Today's Daikoku Building is a clear example. The organization's style of operation is even more cruel and decisive than Shizuka Hiratsuka had initially imagined.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka is confident in her own strength, it does not mean that she can withstand the bomb with her body.

"It's useful, but it's also very expensive~" Fujiko nodded with a smile and let go of Shizuka Hiratsuka's arm.

"Let me run some bath water for you. You look very tired today, Jing baby. You should have a good rest tonight."

"Wow, so thoughtful, how rare." Shizuka Hiratsuka narrowed her eyes with a smile as she looked at Fujiko who stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

When playing with Fujiko before, she felt that they were in sync, but after this meeting, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that she and Fujiko were even more compatible.

"If I live with Fujiko in the future... it wouldn't feel bad, right?" After saying this inexplicably, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head violently, and grabbed Shuai Shuai, who had an innocent look on his face, and started rubbing him with some embarrassment.

"Really, what am I talking about!"

Chapter 240: The 235 people are about to arrive at the battlefield~

"Xiao Jing, no matter what, you and Shinichi's actions are too risky."

Sitting on the chair in the bedroom, Yukiko's expression was not that good-looking. It would be better to describe her as being frightened.

"I had no choice. Shinichi had already rushed over. You don't know that kid yet. If I had followed him immediately, he would have acted on his own."

Standing on the rooftop of the teaching building, Shizuka Hiratsuka's tone was somewhat helpless.

After arriving at school today, Shizuka Hiratsuka hurriedly made up for her free classes, and seeing that it was almost time, she called Yukiko who was far away in the Lighthouse Country and told her about her and Conan's actions yesterday.

"And we shouldn't be in any danger of being exposed. After all, when we arrived at the location, the bar had already been bombed to ashes." With a cigarette in her mouth, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the campus of Teitan High School.

"No useful findings?" Yukiko frowned slightly, and spoke somewhat unwillingly.

"Yeah, not at all. I used Officer Megure's relationship to cover up and went into the scene once. It was completely destroyed. I also asked Officer Megure, and they didn't find anything valuable in the room. They were just the debris of common bar furnishings. I also asked other people to investigate the situation behind the bar, but found nothing." Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka threw the cigarette on the rooftop and stomped it out.

"As expected, we can't expect that organization to have any omissions in this area."

"It's already good. As long as we keep looking carefully, we will eventually find it, right?" Not wanting to make Hiratsuka Shizuka too anxious, Yukiko quickly spoke out to comfort her.

She knew that after she and Kudo Yusaku returned to the Lighthouse Country, Shizuka Hiratsuka really took care of Kudo Shinichi more attentively than before. If it weren't for Shizuka Hiratsuka, Yukiko really wouldn't be able to let Kudo Shinichi live in Kogoro Mori's house.

"That's true. Some things can't be rushed." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded in agreement. She wasn't in a hurry anyway.

A single move can affect the entire body. Shinichi clearly knew that if anything went wrong on his part, he would not be the only one in trouble. However, given his reckless personality, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not expect him to change quickly.

It's better to say that he has improved since the last time Yukiko and I teased him, but he is still a headache when he gets too excited.

"I don't have anything else to do here. I just want to tell you that Sister Yukiko should go to bed early." Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka was ready to hang up the phone.

"By the way, Xiaojing, have you made any progress on your own affairs?"

"Eh? What's the matter?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked curiously as she put the phone to her ear again with some surprise.

"Oh, it's your personal problem!" Yukiko couldn't help feeling anxious when she heard Hiratsuka Shizuka's confused voice.

She knew very well who was around Shizuka Hiratsuka during this period. As someone in the same camp as Sachiko Hiratsuka, she was most concerned about Shizuka Hiratsuka's personal problems.

Originally, she had only a vague idea, but when she received a long-distance call from Sachiko Hiratsuka, the excitement in Yukiko's eyes never stopped.

What did she hear? Sure enough, her guess was correct!

Yukiko herself is very open-minded. The reason why she gave up the idea of ​​finding another way for Shizuka Hiratsuka was because she was worried that Shizuka Hiratsuka's family would not be able to tolerate her behavior.

However, if Sachiko Hiratsuka had expressed such an idea herself, there would be a lot of room for maneuver!

As for Hiratsuka Seiji... Yukiko believes that Hiratsuka Sachiko will take care of him.

"What personal problem do I have?" Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with amusement, feeling a little helpless.

As expected, for people of my age who have never been in a relationship, the people close to me can't help but care about this aspect.

No, it should be said that Yukiko just has a special liking for this kind of thing. She has the same personality as her mother and always hopes to find a partner as soon as possible.

Look at Sister Yingli and her master, they never worry about their love problems.

"I'm living a very easy life now. I'm busy every day, so don't worry too much about that."

"It's different, Xiaojing. The feeling of returning home alone and with someone else is completely different every time." Yukiko taught with a slightly rising tone as if she were an experienced person.

"Xiao Jing, you're not the kind of person who particularly likes to be alone, right?"

"It feels like there's someone at home." The tone was a little strange. After hearing Yukiko's words, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but think of the feeling that Fujiko gave her last night.

It was very natural, without any excessive expression, but it made Shizuka Hiratsuka feel a unique kind of warmth.

Shaking her head, Shizuka Hiratsuka threw the strange thought out of her mind.

Whether Shizuka Hiratsuka admits it or not, her mentality has changed slightly after receiving the last call from Sachiko Hiratsuka.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me all the time. Go to bed early. I'm hanging up."

"Hello, Xiaojing!" A beeping sound came from her ears. Yukiko threw her phone away in dissatisfaction, but then she smiled lightly.

"Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, before you know it, you've reached this point."

Before, it was just speculation and suspicion, but after receiving a call from Sachiko Hiratsuka, Yukiko carefully sorted out the information she got from Sachiko Hiratsuka and easily came to her own conclusion.

"You've been plotted against to this extent by the people around you. Tsk tsk tsk, Xiaojing, how long can you hold on?" With a wicked smile on her face, Yukiko recalled the girls mentioned by Hiratsuka Sachiko and what those girls had done. The anticipation in her heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten's claws.

"As expected, a mother knows a daughter better than anyone else. Sister Sachiko is usually quiet, but she knows everything. Xiaojing, you're in for a hard time in the future~"

. . .

"I feel that Xiaojing has been a bit busy recently. There will be a short vacation coming up, so it's better to make an appointment with Xiaojing in advance." Sitting in the office of her company, Yang Nai turned the pen in her hand, her eyes moving around.

"Well, let's do this. Then after get off work today..." Yang Nai bit her lips lightly, and her eyes changed slightly.

"Let's go check on Aunt Sachiko."

. . .

"Baby Jing has changed a lot recently. It seems that the influences she has received are starting to take effect." Fujiko leaned on the sofa in the apartment, swinging her legs leisurely, with a smile on her lips.

"Whether it's the hints Yukinoshita Haruno has been making over the years, or the sudden change in attitude of baby Shizuka's mother, they are all the triggers, but the most crucial thing is..." Fujiko's eyes flickered as she stared at the computer screen spread out on the coffee table.

"Or this woman who has disappeared no matter how hard I look for her? Interesting." Fujiko elegantly picked up the goblet and took a sip of Hiratsuka Shizuka's treasured red wine.

"Although you took the lead, the fruits of victory in the end belong to me."

"However, I need to move a little faster." Fujiko lightly touched her lips with her fingers, and her heart was slightly moved as she recalled the soft feeling of kissing Hiratsuka Shizuka before.

"Let's set a small goal. Before I leave Neon this time, I want to make some substantial progress."

"I hope my baby won't be scared then~"

. . .

"Hu~" A faint smoke floated out from her red lips, and Vermouth glanced at the dead target on the coffee table in front of her.

"Ding!~" The moment the phone next to her rang, Vermouth picked up the phone and opened the email she had been waiting for.

"Is this done for now? I understand, boss." Nodding slightly, Vermouth deleted the email on her phone and put the phone back in her pocket.

"I didn't expect that this mission would go so smoothly. I didn't encounter any unpleasant things." With her hands crossed behind her head, Vermouth stretched her body.

She walked out of the room slowly, and as she got into the car, Vermouth pressed the button on the side of her watch.

"Boom~" Amidst the violent explosion and flames, Vermouth drove away quickly.
