In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

"Why are you here so early!"

"I was just killing time and thought I'd come over and chat with you, Ran~" Vermouth smiled slightly at Ran, looked past her at Natsume, and then looked down at Ai and Akemi. A mysterious smile appeared on her lips.

"correct!"

Xiaolan realized what was happening, turned around, and said:

"Miss Chris, let me introduce you!"

"teacher....."

Xia Ye, feeling helpless, decided to drop the pretense and lay her cards on the table.

When Ai revealed her true identity to Ran, she mentioned Vermouth to her.

However, Ran only knows that Vermouth is a member of the Black Organization and does not know about the silver-haired killer. In that case, can she accept that her new friend has turned into a bad woman?

Hard to say!

The only thing Xia Ye is grateful for now is...

Officer Sato has already left to inspect the Metropolitan Police Department's layout; otherwise, things would have been really difficult to handle in front of her.

"Teacher?! Isn't that right?"

Xiaolan opened her mouth wide, her beautiful eyes wide with shock.

She was genuinely shocked, without the slightest pretense!

Having known each other for three days, she had never connected the kind and friendly new neighbor, Miss Chris, with the cold-blooded and ruthless Vermouth that Ai had described!

"It's Vermouth~"

Vermouth was clearly prepared; her red lips parted slightly, and an apologetic expression appeared on her pretty face.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan. You've heard Xia Ye mention me, right? He always praises you to me, calling you an angelic girl. I wanted to get closer to you and observe you, so I concealed my identity..."

Xia Ye remained silent.

Bayonetta, you're such a master at shifting blame!

Isn't it you who's been longing to see your angel girl? How come it's become me constantly mentioning her in front of you?

But never mind——

As a student, I have a special feeling towards my teachers. What's a little blame? I can always get my revenge on the teachers sooner or later, so I won't suffer any loss!

“Vermouth…”

Xiaolan's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

She could understand what Vermouth was saying.

but--

A friend I just made and got along very well with suddenly turned out to be a member of a criminal organization, and a witch who had killed people.

Even though Xia Ye mentioned in her diary that Vermouth had special feelings for her, Xiao Lan still couldn't quite accept it.

"Xiaolan~"

Vermouth looked dejected, her beautiful blue eyes dimmed, and she said softly:

"It's perfectly normal for a pure and kind angel like you to dislike a fallen demon like me. If you wish, I won't appear in your life again—"

"That's not how it is!" Xiaolan interrupted Vermouth, somewhat agitated.

It wasn't that she was fooled by Vermouth's acting skills, but rather that she could clearly feel that, whether now or in their interactions a couple of days ago, Vermouth was very sincere towards her. No matter what kind of person Vermouth was, at least she hadn't wronged her.

Besides, I've never seen Vermouth do anything bad, so maybe she's not that bad?

Xiaolan tried to justify her actions in her mind, because she had decided to continue being friends with "Chris."

"Miss Chris~"

Xiao Lan looked at Vermouth's eyes, which had changed from light green to light blue, with a serious expression. "I'll still call you Miss Chris from now on, okay?"

"it is good!"

Vermouth smiled, a hint of joy flashing in her beautiful eyes. Hmm, the final result was very good!

"Alright, now that we've talked it out, everyone sit down." Seeing that the atmosphere had eased and that the matter between Sister Bei and Xiao Lan had been resolved, Xia Ye gestured for everyone to sit down and immediately changed the subject, "Teacher... Chris, where did Yukiko go? Wasn't she with you?"

“She ran into an acquaintance and went over to say hello,” Vermouth said, glancing at the other side of the VIP section.

Natsume followed her gaze and saw Yukiko saying goodbye to a middle-aged man and walking towards them. When she saw Natsume, a charming smile bloomed on her pretty face, and she quickened her pace and started running.

Duang! Duang! Duang!

Yukiko must have planned it with Vermouth. Vermouth wore black, so she wore white. Her white halter-neck off-shoulder dress already accentuated her figure. She ran a few more steps, and Natsume quickly went to meet her, using her body to block the lewd gazes around them.

Yukiko gave him a charmingly disdainful look; how could she not know what he was thinking?

But if this scoundrel cares about even this, what about our trip to the beach? I'm going to wear a really, really sexy swimsuit, and if other men see me, he'll be green with envy!

"Have you resolved your issues?"

Sitting down in her seat, Yukiko looked curiously at Ran and Vermouth.

"How to solve it?"

"Haha~"

Vermouth smiled without saying a word.

"Don't tell you!"

Ran won't tell Yukiko that her acceptance of Vermouth was largely due to Yukiko's influence. Since Yukiko could still be good friends with Vermouth after knowing she was a member of the Black Organization, she could too!

"fine!"

Yukiko pouted, turned to look at Ai and Akemi beside her, blinked and smiled as she asked, "Ai, Ai, why don't you tell me?"

"I didn't understand~"

Ai and Akemi shook their heads. Xia Ye didn't know that Vermouth already knew their identities, so they had to be careful what they said in front of Xia Ye and Vermouth so that Xia Ye wouldn't notice anything amiss.

"Oh~"

Yukiko didn't mind and started chatting with the two of them about other things.

Xia Ye looked left and right, and realized that she was isolated again. It wasn't good to have too many girls around her. They would form cliques and eventually stick together, leaving her all alone!

Look around.

It was already 6 p.m.

The concert audience was already mostly inside, the venue was chaotic and surging with people, and mixed in with them were many plainclothes police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and fugitives who, for reasons unknown, insisted on attending Yoko Okino's concert...

On the west side of the venue, 0...

Xia Ye spotted Officer Sato.

She leaned against a pillar, her pretty face showing impatience as she looked around, seemingly waiting for someone.

Actually, she was constantly glancing at the person sitting in a seat to her right.

A hint of anxiety flashed in Sato Miwako's eyes.

She found a big fish!

However, the big fish was very wary.

She had only lingered her gaze on him for a moment, but now he was scrutinizing her several times.

Maybe if we wait a little longer, he will discover some flaws. If he escapes, that's one thing, but if he causes a disturbance, the entire capture operation will fail. What if it affects Ms. Yoko's concert? How am I supposed to face Ms. Yoko, my new friend?

"Michiko, have you been waiting long?"

A gentle and peaceful voice sounded in my ear.

Sato Miwako instantly realized what was happening, her pretty face hardening as she turned to look at the handsome young man who had come to her side, and complained:

"Ah Ye, why did it take you so long to go to the restroom? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

"I'm sorry, Michiko, it's all my fault!" Natsume said apologetically, putting her hand on Sato Miwako's shoulder. "Let's go. I specially bought VIP seats this time so you can hear your favorite Yoko Okino sing up close~"

"Thank you, Ye! You're so kind!"

Sato Miwako's beautiful eyes instantly softened, and she reached out to take Natsume's arm, shaking it playfully.

"Then let's go!"

"I've never sat in the VIP section before!"

"Good~"

The two walked towards the VIP seats at the front.

Being linked arm-in-arm with the beautiful policewoman Sato, Xia Ye was somewhat surprised; Officer Sato's acting skills were unexpectedly good.

She can respond to any name I call, even if that's a detective's instinct. But the emotional shift from being angry and complaining to being sweet and coquettish was very natural and there was no flaw. Is it really true that women are born to act?

"That was a drug lord—"

Sato Miwako rested her head on Natsume's shoulder in a seemingly affectionate manner and lowered her voice to say:

“Osaka has already issued an arrest warrant for him. I can't believe he actually dared to show up at Yoko Okino's concert. Natsume, that guy is naturally cautious. I gave him a slight clue earlier, which should have aroused his suspicion. Should we…”

"Need not!"

Xia Ye smiled and shook her head.

Look back!

"what?"

Sato Miwako looked surprised, but seeing Natsume's determined gaze, she couldn't help but turn around and glance back. She saw that the drug lord, who looked short, fat and bald, was already restless, his face flushed, as if he was enduring something.

"what happened?"

"Oh, I just poisoned him a little~"

Xia Ye smiled. He had just retrieved the Myriad Poison Pouch from Xiao Ai, and now it contained forty different poisons. The one he used on that drug lord was—

"It's not some deadly poison, it just makes him so weak from diarrhea in the toilet."

"Just have your men wait to go in and collect the bodies."

"Okay~".

Chapter 107 Sonoko, what did you eat?

The two did not return to their seats.

Instead, they planned to pretend to be an ordinary couple and take a stroll around the concert venue.

but--

There was something Xia Ye didn't quite understand.

"Officer Sato?"

"what happened?"

Sato Miwako naturally took Natsume's arm, a sweet smile on her pretty face, and whispered, "Natsume, you should call me Michiko for now. There are too many people here, and if you call me by my name, they might find out who I am~"

"Okay, Michiko~"

Xia Ye readily agreed and asked in a low voice:

"You said that drug lord was cautious by nature, right? Then why would he come to Yoko Okino's concert? And without even bringing a single henchman?"

"And after I poisoned him, he didn't seem to suspect anything and went straight to the bathroom. This kind of person doesn't seem like someone who is naturally cautious, does he?"

Xia Ye was genuinely puzzled as to how someone with no sense of vigilance could become a major drug lord. The Osaka Prefectural Police was led by Hattori Heizo, a man of few words, yet they couldn't even catch someone like him. Was he just a figurehead?

"this......"

Miwako Sato really wanted to defend the drug lord who was probably already exhausted.

People are usually very cautious.

However, Yoko Okino couldn't resist the incredible "Evil Buster" buff, which also reduced the capture difficulty by three times.

The difficulty of the arrest has been reduced by three times.
