Mika, the Mori Detective Agency.

"I never expected that Miss Qinglan, with her beautiful legs, would actually be Scorpion."

Even after arriving home, Kogoro Mouri was still agonizing over the problem, muttering to himself incessantly.

Conan, standing to the side, rolled his dead fish eyes speechlessly, watching the car that had dropped them off leave, his brows furrowed tightly.

He didn't believe any of that nonsense about Pu Siqinglan running away.

Given Hanyu Nan's abilities, if he was able to leave behind the Egg of Memories, then there was absolutely no way he could have let Urashi Seiran escape.

"Yusuke, you're up to something again..."

There's definitely a big problem here!

Inside the carriage, the maids were also discussing this topic.

However, what she was discussing was completely different from what Conan and the others were talking about.

The girls in the family weren't too surprised that Pu Siqinglan had run away.

Ai pinched Yuzuru a little, clearly annoyed.

"Young Master Yuzuru," Akemi asked Yuzuru Nan, who was holding Ai, with a hint of anticipation, "what do you think about me going to Miss Qinglan to learn how to make cheongsams?"

As she spoke, images of those exquisite cheongsam styles flashed through her mind, her eyes filled with longing. "I think those clothes are all so beautiful!"

Hearing this, Ai also remembered the photos her sister had sent her, and felt a little itchy inside.

Ignoring the large hand that kept rubbing her waist, she stretched out her arm to show off her small body.

Then he sighed softly.

?? ?(?_?)? ??

What girl wouldn't like pretty clothes?

The cheongsam, a garment that perfectly showcases a woman's graceful curves and unique charm, is simply the epitome of feminine allure.

But now, with my childlike figure, I'm like a little bean sprout that hasn't fully developed yet. I can't pull off the mature, elegant, and charming look that a cheongsam should have!

Seeing Ai sighing, Yu Sheng Nan couldn't help but laugh. "Ai, once you regain your original body, you'll definitely be able to wear a cheongsam beautifully."

"Hmph~" Ai snorted arrogantly, her desire to find an antidote as soon as possible growing stronger.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Tomorrow she'll go get two vials of blood drawn from Conan.

Mingmei smiled and then said, "Young Master Yusheng, what kind of cheongsam style do you think suits me best?"

Yuzuru carefully examined Akemi. "With your temperament, a more understated style would suit you very well. A simple and elegant design, in soft colors like off-white or light blue, paired with simple yet exquisite embroidery, would perfectly highlight your gentleness and tranquility. However..."

He changed the subject, a playful glint in his eyes, "You could also try something a little sexier."

The main point is the contrast!

"Really?" Mingmei's eyes lit up, her face full of anticipation, as if she could already picture herself looking beautiful in a cheongsam. "Then I'll have to think carefully about how to design it."

"There's no need to rush," Yuusuke said, holding Ai in his arms. Ai nestled comfortably against him, her eyes half-closed, like a lazy kitten.

Yuzuru's large hand slipped through her cool summer clothes, and as if it had its own mind, it repeatedly caressed Ai's smooth and tender belly. Ai only twisted her body slightly and did not resist.

While enjoying the soft touch, Yu Sheng Nan said, "I'll have Qing Lan come to your house another day to help you with the measurements, and you can have a good talk with her."

What I admired most was Pu Siqinglan's talent for garment making; her beautiful legs and such were secondary considerations.

We'll have her open a cheongsam shop next to the dumpling shop in the garden, since that area has a lot of foot traffic.

After all, it's the Mihana City Hall, right in the city center.

If customers get tired of shopping, they can go to the dumpling shop next door to have some chocolate dumplings to replenish their energy before continuing their shopping.

It just so happens that Pu Siqinglan is currently working with Sister Bei.

As someone working at a winery, it would be a disservice to my position if I didn't take on several other jobs.

Those people with names and surnames all hold multiple positions.

As for what positions they hold, let's not worry about that for now.

...

Hanyu House.

As soon as they got home, Ai couldn't wait to break free from Yuzuru's clutches, and even kicked him with her short legs before jumping out of the car with a flushed face and running into the villa.

If we don't run now, we'll have to change clothes again when we get back.

"Po~"

Bobo landed on Hanyu Nan's shoulder from the sky, followed closely by a white pigeon with a wing and bandages.

But the white dove only dared to land on the ground at the door, shrinking back and staring at this side with its red eyes, cooing incessantly, appearing very timid.

Yu Sheng Nan glanced at it, then patted Bobo's fluffy little head with amusement, "Well, you've even learned how to recruit followers."

It would be funny if Kidd came over and tried to take his pigeons away, only to find they were unresponsive.

However, Douzi does raise quite a few pigeons. Someday, Bobo can snatch them all and form an aerial army to play with.

Yu Sheng Nan pondered to himself as he and Ming Mei stepped into the villa.

As soon as it entered the gate, Bobo flew to the small wooden house that had been built especially for it in the yard.

Seeing this, the white dove also wanted to fly in, but Bobo only made a single cry, which frightened it so much that it hid to the side and trembled.

This is the impact of different levels of life.

It can bring both pressure, causing lower life forms to instinctively feel fear and awe, and it can also bring attraction, just like how the white dove, although afraid of Bobo, still can't help but want to get closer.

"Young Master Yuzuru, I'm going to cook now."

Mingmei carried the fresh ingredients she had bought on her way back and headed to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Ai walked upstairs on her own, not forgetting to leave behind the comment, "Aren't you going to check on that female thief you caught? You big pervert!"

She saw through Yuzuru Nan's intentions perfectly clearly.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have helped with the pre-training.

Watching Ai's retreating figure go upstairs, Yuzuru chuckled softly and turned to walk towards the basement.

The toys have been delivered to his door for two days, but he hasn't inspected them himself yet.

I don't know if this "toy" will suit my taste. If I'm not satisfied, I'll have to "modify" it properly.

...

The basement was very well soundproofed; not a single sound of them returning reached them.

After all, this is where Ai usually does her research, so the best materials are used, and the most advanced soundproofing equipment is also used to ensure that not a single sound leaks out.

It's so quiet here, like another world completely isolated from the rest of the world.

The door opened automatically, accompanied by a slight mechanical whirring, the lights came on, and the darkness was quickly swept away. Yuzuru stepped inside.

Lying on the cold table, Kuroba Chikage's consciousness oscillated between unconsciousness and wakefulness. Hearing the door open, she vaguely thought it was the little witch returning.
