Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

. . .

"Wow~"

"Hey, isn't this Brother Jing? Why did you come so early today..." The smiling greetings gradually stopped. The fat man sitting in the tavern frowned and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a serious look.

"Brother Jing, did you just kill the monster?"

Chapter 278 Thank you so much

"Ah."

Nodding slowly, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked to the seat and sat down.

"..." The fat man blinked and didn't say much, but just poured a glass of wine for Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"What's wrong? You look so serious." After watching Shizuka Hiratsuka finish the wine in one breath, the fat man spoke with a smile.

"Tell me, which blind monster offended my brother Jing?"

"I don't know either." Shaking her head slightly, and looking at the fat man's smiling and festive expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka's mood also improved a little.

She felt that she shouldn't be so pretentious.

The situation was already very obvious. If I didn't kill the person decisively, I would be the one in danger.

Shizuka Hiratsuka would never do such a saintly thing as to endanger her own life for the safety of an enemy.

However, compared to the previous times when she killed monsters in a daze, this time Shizuka Hiratsuka had a clear mind and knew what she wanted to do.

It's all done. Shizuka Hiratsuka won't say that she regrets it or anything, but she just feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.

However, think about it, when I was young and energetic and participated in those open-ended fighting competitions, didn’t I also resort to heavy fighting when I had no choice?

If you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any difference.

"What happened today should be considered an accident." Taking the bottle of wine from the fat man, Shizuka Hiratsuka poured herself another glass of wine under the fat man's smiling gaze.

"But that's not important. I came here this time to ask something else."

Turning his gaze to Kong Lao who was slowly walking out from behind, Shizuka Hiratsuka took a breath and lowered his voice slightly.

"Master Kong, do you monsters often cooperate with criminal organizations?"

"Cooperate with a criminal organization?" A gentle voice came from Kong Lao's mouth. As if Hiratsuka Shizuka's words evoked some memories, Kong Lao slightly opened his eyes.

"Xiao Jing, you have to know that although many monsters habitually avoid human life, there are also monsters like us who don't want to cause any trouble, actively integrate into modern society, and even reach consensus and cooperate with human officials, but there are also many monsters with complicated minds and inflated ambitions."

"Those who fundamentally look down on humans and simply believe in their own abilities as youkai are fine, and we're relatively adept at dealing with them. But there are also many who see the convenience and creativity of being human, using their abilities as youkai to cooperate with, bewitch, and deceive unscrupulous humans to satisfy their own desires. Such youkai give us a headache."

With a slight wave of her fingers, Shizuka Hiratsuka could feel a strange wave passing through her body, and then she was surprised to find that the strange aura that had been lingering around her was completely dispelled.

"That monster left a mark on your body before he died, Xiaojing. It seems that he does have an organization, otherwise he wouldn't have resorted to such means of revenge." After retracting his hand, Old Kong's eyes rarely showed a hint of helplessness.

"I always feel like you, Xiaojing, are prone to getting into trouble."

"Ah, that's what I thought too." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head in distress and annoyance, feeling very helpless.

I haven't encountered so many troubles before, but why do all kinds of strange things happen to me after I arrived in Tokyo?

"Let's take Conan to the shrine to worship." This thought flashed through Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind. Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed and raised her head to look at Kong Lao again.

"There's something else that I guessed before. Can you tell me, Master Kong?"

"Of course, I guess there's nothing wrong with that."

. . .

"Baby Jing called and said she would be back later and asked us to continue packing. Our plan to go to Chiba tomorrow will not change."

After taking back his phone, Fujiko repeated the content of the message to Koko and the others.

"Oh, it seems nothing happened." Koko nodded with a smile and said to Farme who was sitting on the sofa and using her laptop to pass the time.

"Go tell everyone to continue cleaning up. Don't make too much of a mess in other people's villas, and don't leave anything behind that shouldn't be left behind."

"I know, Koko." Falme nodded and stopped doing one-handed push-ups after receiving the order. He simply wiped the sweat off his body with a towel placed aside and went to look for Rem and others who were on guard outside.

"Almost three hours have passed. I believe that even if the Japanese police reacted slowly, they should have discovered where we are." After glancing at the time on her watch, Koko closed the computer in front of her, put her hands behind her back, and stretched.

"It seems that Jing did not disappoint me and has taken care of the follow-up matters." The tone was a little subtle, and Koko felt that she had to re-evaluate Shizuka Hiratsuka's identity.

At least, on the surface, her identity as the eldest daughter of the largest society in Chiba area could not affect the security agencies of Japan.

"Indeed, it seems that baby Jing still has a lot to hide." Putting down the black tea in her hand, Fujiko still had a bright smile on her face, but she could not be as free and easy as Koko.

After all, Fujiko's needs for Shizuka Hiratsuka are different from Koko's.

"That's what Miss Fujiko needs to work hard on in the future, isn't it?" Looking at Fujiko with a smile, Koko picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of coffee.

"Are you acting so carefree? I don't believe that Miss Koko has no feelings for Jing in your heart." With a slight flicker in his eyes, Fujiko pulled up a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Jing~ In my heart, that is the spark sent to me by God~" Holding the small spoon, Koko nodded with a smile.

"But what does that matter? Unlike you, Miss Fujiko, who want to be by Shizuka's side all the time, I just want to appear by Shizuka's side occasionally to replenish the energy she needs~"

"Really? If that's the case, I don't mind."

"Oh? Miss Fujiko is really confident." Putting down the cup in her hand, Koko shook her head slightly.

"Then I wish you success in advance, Miss Fujiko."

"I accept your good advice."

"Well, Miss Fujiko, can you give me an answer to what we discussed earlier?"

"Ah, that thing." Sitting up slightly, Fujiko's expression restrained. After looking at Koko quietly for a long time, he smiled again.

"I agree, after all, even I want to participate in this kind of interesting thing."

"Thank you so much!~"

Chapter 279 Asking for leave! (Bow)

PS: As the title says, I have to ask for a day off today.

It’s almost the New Year’s Eve. I went to help the elderly at home clean up the house during the day. I was busy all day in both houses and just got home...

I really don't have the energy to write anymore, so I'm taking a day off with great guilt. (Guilty side face)

I will make it up tomorrow, I will definitely make it up (fist pump!)

Dear readers, please go to bed early (jumping into bed like a tiger pouncing on its prey)

Chapter 280: 274 I think so too

After contacting Fujiko and telling her that she would be back at the villa later, Shizuka Hiratsuka went to Dr. Agasa's house as soon as she left the pub.

At first, Dr. Agasa was a little surprised to see Shizuka Hiratsuka's sudden visit, but after hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's brief account of what happened today, Dr. Agasa's expression became heavy.

"Although I thought about it from the beginning, since Shinichi was able to become smaller after being drugged by the people from that organization in Neon, then maybe we can meet again someday." Dr. Agasa put the coffee in his hand on the circular counter in the middle of the living room with a serious expression.

"I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

"Yeah, but what happened today isn't necessarily a bad thing." Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned directly on the counter with her arms folded across her chest.

She didn't tell Conan and Dr. Agasa about the monsters. It was already troublesome enough to deal with that dark organization. If Conan and the others got involved in the monster affairs, everything might become even more difficult.

However, there are monsters in that dark organization after all, which gives Shizuka Hiratsuka a headache.

If they told Conan and the others, the problems they would face would become even bigger. If they didn't tell them, they might suffer losses in unknown places.

"Ah~" Sighing silently in her heart, Shizuka Hiratsuka decided to suppress it for the time being.

After all, judging from all aspects of today's performance, the people from the dark organization have not discovered Conan yet, which means that they know nothing about Kudo Shinichi becoming smaller.

In this way, as long as Conan is careful, he will be safe.

Well, let Conan be more careful.

"Tsk!" Scratching her hair, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly felt very tired.

I am not in a relationship or married, but I have already experienced the hardships of raising a child.

"Xiao Jing, are you hungry? Do you want me to get you a bowl of instant noodles?" Dr. Agasa, who was standing aside, looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was in a bad mood. He couldn't think of any words of comfort for a moment, so he had to try to change the subject.

"Forget instant noodles. I'll order a pizza later. How about you, Doctor? Come join us."

"Pizza? That's fine too. I haven't eaten it for a long time." Dr. Agasa's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile. He had been deliberately controlling the amount of food he consumed.

This wasn't something he wanted to eat, but he couldn't refuse Shizuka Hiratsuka's invitation.

. . .

"I really think, Aunt Jing, you have an incredibly good attitude."

Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a subtle look, Conan, who had finally found an excuse to come out of the detective agency, couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

He rushed to Dr. Agasa's house in a hurry because he met the organization that made him shrink today, and they agreed to discuss countermeasures at Dr. Agasa's house.

This was originally a very serious matter, but Shizuka Hiratsuka and Dr. Agasa were so nice.

They ate pizza and watched the comedy show on TV together and laughed happily. If Conan hadn't coughed twice to prove his presence, they wouldn't have known that Conan had come.

"I'm already worried enough, can't I take a break from my busy schedule to relax?" Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at Conan unhappily, finished the last piece of pizza in her hand, then took off her disposable gloves and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"Has Xiaolan already made the decision?"

"Well, I found an excuse and finally got out." Conan nodded slightly, his tone not so relaxed.

This afternoon, a man died in front of his eyes, but he was powerless to do anything.

"Okay, stop looking so sad. You're just a little kid, what else can you do?" Shizuka Hiratsuka threw a bottle of juice to Conan and watched him catch it in a panic before continuing.

"I'm here to discuss serious matters."

"That's right." Conan took a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time to be sentimental. He unscrewed the juice in his hand and drank half of the bottle as if he was drinking wine.

"First, let me tell you the latest news I know."

. . .

"Are they all wearing black clothes?" Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned slightly, thinking of Gin, Vodka, and the monster who died at her hands, and nodded slightly.

The people from the organization she had met so far were indeed all wearing black clothes.

"What a weird corporate culture." Shizuka Hiratsuka took a sip of the instant coffee prepared by Dr. Agasa and looked at Conan again.

"In other words, based on the intelligence we've been able to analyze so far, the organization is a group whose members all like to wear black. We don't know what they're planning, but they desperately need funds for their activities, and they're very hidden."

"Well, and their members are also very strong in combat." Conan nodded slightly and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a serious expression.

"Aunt Jing, you should know this better. Someone who can confront two rifles with two pistols and escape unharmed is definitely not an ordinary character."

Although it is not known who Shizuka Hiratsuka called at that time, Conan, who had seen all the members of Koko's team in the villa, could judge that they were all good fighters.

After all, how could a team that could protect arms dealers be bad?

"I agree with this, they are indeed very powerful." He nodded in agreement, but compared to what Conan saw on the surface, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who knew that there were monsters in the organization, was more aware of their danger.

"So, Shinichi, you should also be very clear about how careful we have to be from now on."

"I know. I will definitely be more careful." Conan nodded heavily and did not refute Shizuka Hiratsuka's words. Today's gun battle and the final explosion have made Conan very clear that when facing a real battle, the role he can play is really limited.

He wanted to find that organization, retrieve the antidote that made him bigger, and unravel their conspiracy, but he didn't want to lose his life because of his own negligence.

If that happens, too many people will be sad.

"But it seems that they are still active in Neon." Twisting her neck, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes flashed slightly.

"In that case, can we give it a try?"

"Try what?" Conan looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka strangely, not knowing what she was suddenly mumbling.

"Nothing, anyway, you must be careful during this period of time. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately."

"I know, Aunt Jing."
