Chapter 823 Auntie, don’t do this, I’m scared!
Kudo Yukiko always felt something was weird, and Mouri Ran also felt that today's new appearance was a little King Ice City is located right across from Maori's house, and the unicorn girl, who often comes here whenever she has time, is already very familiar with the regular customers.
Xinchu Zhiming is a rare guest among rare guests.
But there was no reason, and they wouldn't suspect anything.
Then, a strange scene occurred.
Xiaolan's attention was attracted by Shinichi, and she was a little curious why Shinichi suddenly came here.
Kisaki Eri frowned, a little worried that her little cabbage might have been attracted by someone, and she also stared at Shinichi.
Yukiko Kudo was wondering whether this person was her best friend.
Then, three women at a table were looking at fake and new ones.
The remaining Mingmei seemed a little out of place and felt a little dull.
Vermouth, who was disguised as a new character, did not say much to the two of them. She just said hello and walked to the seats of Conan and Fujino and sat down.
…………
Kudo Yukiko looked at Shinide curiously, but didn't see any clues. She was just a little curious about Shinide's identity and asked in confusion: "Ran-chan, who is this doctor Shinide?"
"He is our school doctor, his name is Tomoaki Niide."
Mao Lilan explained: "Dr. Shinde's family runs a clinic. My father and I have both been to their house for treatment... Because there was a case in their family before, Fujino-senpai is very familiar with the doctor."
Although they were separated, Hibiki Eri learned a lot from Xiaolan. She didn't ask much about Shinide, but instead teased, "Yukiko, why do you care so much about Mr. Shinide?"
Kudo Yukiko naturally understood what her old friend meant. She put her hands on her hips and said resentfully, "What are you thinking about? I just think this Mr. Arata is a little familiar!"
"Oh...I understand."
Kisaki Eri nodded, with an expression as if she didn't understand something, which made Yukiko feel a little angry.
"Honami, give me a glass of lemonade."
"understand!"
"Just pack it up."
Fujino greeted Shimokasa Honami, who was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans and had short hair that brought out her curves. She looked playful and cute.
And Shinide Tomoaki followed up with another explanation, and explained to Fujino with a chuckle, "I was just passing by and bought a glass of lemonade to quench my thirst."
"That's it..."
Fujino remained calm and glanced at Kudo Yukiko out of the corner of his eyes.
It was obvious that he wanted to come to my house to trick me, but it was difficult to trick someone he knew. He even said that he just came to buy lemon juice.
This old lady is really shameless.
He withdrew his gaze and turned his eyes to Haibara Ai standing beside him.
At this time, Haibara Ai looked at Aizawa Tomoaki, the organization's radar was triggered again, the light in her eyes lost, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Vermouth didn't pay attention to Fujino, but instead focused her attention on Conan. After brewing a doting emotion, she turned her gaze to Haibara Ai and reached out her hand, touching her head as if to show her love for her.
"Little sister, have you slept well recently?"
Shivering Huihara Ai: "......?"
Is it possible that I haven't had a good night's sleep since you touched my head last time?
Still sleeping well, I guess you just want me to sleep 24 hours a day?
So why are things getting so weird?
This world is too crazy, even Vermouth touched Miyano Shiho's head...
"You're still so shy..."
"Mr. Shinide, your lemonade!"
Vermouth suppressed the feeling of nausea, withdrew her hand, and looked at Conan again before the feeling gradually disappeared. At this time, Shimokasa Honami prepared the lemon juice, packed it and brought it over.
“Your lemonade is still as delicious as ever!”
Vermouth took the lemon juice without thinking too much. She took a sip of it, praised it, and turned to leave. Before leaving, she smiled at Fujino and said, "Fujiano-kun, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. We can talk about lemon juice when we have a chance!"
"See you next time, Dr. Shinde."
Fujino smiled and waved, but did not move to see the "guest" off.
Deep down, he was still a little curious.
I wonder how this old lady Vermouth is going to brainwash me.
But looking at the lineup today, it is probably impossible to clean it, so the old aunt plans to take it slow.
Fujino retracted his gaze and looked at Haibara Ai again.
Seeing that she looked scared, he came closer, reached out and touched her cat head, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of the new doctor?"
"Um……"
Huibara Ai shuddered and nodded repeatedly.
It’s not a question of whether you’re afraid or not, the key is that the other party is Vermouth!
Moreover, this was the second time he came here, and the second time he touched my head. His intention was very clear now, he was definitely coming for me!
But why hasn't the other party taken action yet?
Is he waiting for me to fall into his trap?
There was a bit of confusion mixed with Haibara Ai's fear, and confusion mixed with doubt.
She suspected that the other party was luring her into a trap and then quietly getting rid of her...
If it were in the past, she would definitely have sent herself over obediently.
But now...she has no intention of dying.
Haibara Ai was thinking in her heart that Vermouth had already walked out of the Snow King Ice City.
"Ah~ Shirley..."
Vermouth raised her white wrist, put it to her nose and sniffed the fragrance of the hair, then shuddered again, put her two slender hands together and rubbed them continuously, until they turned red, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
The reason she came here today was actually the same as Fujino expected, to fool, deceive and launch a surprise attack. However, she didn't expect that in addition to her own angel and the little knight, the knight's mother would also come.
Kudo Yukiko and Vermouth have been old friends for many years, and the two can be said to know each other well, so Vermouth does not dare to underestimate Kudo Yukiko. Although Kudo Yukiko's personality is a bit clever and weird, one thing that cannot be ignored is that she was once a movie emperor-level figure.
Although she looks like a silly and innocent girl, Vermouth is sure that if her best friend gets serious, she can be a very scary existence. What's more, they both studied under Kuroba Touichi.
Strictly speaking, they are best friends and sisters.
Although Yukiko's skills are not as good as hers, and her disguise is not good enough, after all, they were taught by the same master. She is not sure whether the other party has really seen through her identity, so she dare not stay any longer.
In short, the wind is strong and the wind is strong!
…………
On the rooftop of a tall building not far away, Akai Shuichi put down the binoculars in his hand and looked thoughtfully at the direction where 'Niide Tomoaki' drove away.
Next to him stood a blonde woman wearing a green sweater and a white windbreaker.
It was Judy Stelling.
Judy was also watching the departing car: "Recently, she seems to be deliberately getting close to Fujino. Her target seems to be the little girl with brown hair who lives in Fujino's house. But why did she target that girl?"
"Could it be related to the woman in the photo I saw last time?"
Facing Judy's long series of questions, Akai Shuichi still had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "I can't be sure yet, but what is certain is that the target must be the girl from the Fujino family."
Of course he knew what it was about.
Although I didn't notice it before, I'll take a closer look.
That little girl named Huihara Ai, if you think about it, looks exactly like the girl codenamed Shirley.
Is it their sister, or herself?
He is not sure yet.
He wanted to ask, but the detective was like a door god and didn't give him any chance to get close.
Judy was a little anxious. Knowing that a little girl might become a victim just like herself back then, she couldn't help but ask, "Should we ask someone to help protect them?"
"With Detective Fujino here, there will be no problem at all."
Akai Shuichi remained calm, and after investigating, he said, "You should have investigated the detective's skills. I'm afraid even I can't subdue him."
Judy thought about it, and nodded silently in agreement with what Akai Shuichi said, but she was a little worried and said, "But if we just watch like this, it's a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"
"Um……"
Akai Shuichi groaned and said, "Indeed, if the target takes action, it is better to follow him."
…………
On the other side, after reminiscing about the past with Eri Kisaki, Yukiko Kudo took Conan back to the Kudo family.
On the way home, Kudo Yukiko's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the person she had just met, Tomoaki Aida.
The feeling just now made him quite concerned, but even though he had Sharon's feeling, he did not make any bold guesses. After all, Sharon was already dead, and there was no reason for him to fake his death and disguise himself as Tomoaki Arata.
Seeing that his mother looked thoughtful, Conan asked, "Mom, are you familiar with Sharon Wynyard and Chris Wynyard?"
"The mother and son?"
Yukiko Kudo was driving, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes. She said with a nostalgic tone, "I should have told you that Sharon and I studied magic together. Strictly speaking, we are sisters from the same school. I only learned simple disguises, but she is more talented than me. In addition to disguising herself anytime and anywhere, she has also learned the skill of voice changing over the years."
Conan thought about it and suddenly asked, "Could the magician you are talking about be Kuroba Touichi?"
"That's right..."
Yukiko was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously: "How did you know that, Shin-chan? With your memory, you would definitely forget it even if I told you, right?"
Conan: "..."
I'm not Xiaolan, I have a very good memory, okay?
After being speechless for a while, he explained, "It's because of Fujino. He also knows the art of disguise and voice change. It is said that he himself said that he also learned it from Kuroba Touichi. It's just that Kuroba Touichi's son accepted him as a disciple on behalf of his father."
"Oh~!"
Kudo Yukiko was a little excited and laughed: "I didn't expect Fujino-kun is my junior fellow apprentice!"
Conan: "..."
What are you so excited about?
Auntie, please don’t do this, I’m scared!
Conan's psychological shadow area expanded a lot. He took a deep breath and finally came to his senses and brought the topic back: "In short, since Sharon is proficient in disguise, Mom, do you think it is possible that Chris Swinyard and Sharon Wynyard are actually the same person?"
"Well..."
Yukiko's expression and tone became increasingly serious: "If it was her, it is indeed possible to do this. After all, Sharon's death was too sudden. I have never heard of an illegitimate daughter... But Shin-chan, do you suspect that Sharon is the one who is hunting you down?"
"Yes."
Conan reasoned in a deep voice, "On the day when Huibara and I went to the hotel and met the people from the Black Organization, Chris Wynyard was there. In addition to Pisker who was there at the time, there was at least one other person from the organization, and Chris Wynyard was most likely that person."
"If she is a member of the Black Organization, then she could very well disguise herself as anyone and hide among us... Now the people I suspect include our high school English teacher Judy, a man named Akai Shuichi, and the one I just met, Tomoaki Shinide. Judging from what we see now, Shinide is most likely Sharon in disguise."
Yukiko Kudo fell into deep thought as she listened to her own son's reasoning.
Is she really my best friend? That's great. I just recognized the right person because of my keen perception, not because of menopausal neurosis.
She felt relieved in her heart, but then she felt a little disappointed.
My good friend turned out to be a member of a criminal organization, and he even forcibly sent my child back to elementary school, and even wanted to come and wipe out the roots...
Kudo Yukiko asked, "But Shin-chan, why do you doubt that Shinde Tomoaki?"
"Because all the evidence points to him."
Conan reasoned in a deep voice: "In fact, Fujino and Uncle Maori's files were stolen before. The criminals did this for an obvious reason, which was to attract attention... but in fact, it was also to better disguise themselves as Shinide. After all, the case of Mr. Shinide's father's death was solved by Fujino. Sharon disguised himself as Shinide, so of course the cause of death of Shinide's father must be found out."
"And if she is your friend, then it can explain why she protected me on the bus and why she didn't take action after learning about my and Huibara's identities. It's because she may have known my identity, but because of her friendship with you, she didn't take action."
"Is that so?"
Kudo Yukiko felt a little happy when she heard this.
My best friend is indeed a good friend. She must have not taken any action yet for my sake...
You must be thinking of some good way to conceal the truth now, right?
Conan didn't notice the expression on her face, and continued: "But it's just a guess after all. After all, stealing files can attract the attention of the FBI. At the same time, not attacking me and Huibara is also most likely due to the FBI."
"FBI?"
Conan nodded and explained to Yukiko who was confused: "It seems that the FBI is also investigating this case, but it seems that it is not an official channel, so they are very cautious. Now they are just hiding their identities among us. If Xiaolan hadn't remembered it, I would not have thought that Akai Shuichi and Judy were from the FBI."
After a pause, he asked Kudo Yukiko doubtfully, "Actually, there is one thing I'm quite curious about, which is why she recognized my identity... Has she seen me when I was a child?"
"hey-hey……"
Yukiko smiled awkwardly: "I showed her your photo back then."
Conan was speechless: "You really screwed me over."
“Who knew it would be like this?”
Yukiko Kudo let out a helpless sound.
As a mother, of course you want to show off your baby. Isn't that normal?
What's more, the other person is her best friend, a single old witch!
