Chapter 625 The Other Layer of the Full Moon

After leaving the area, they bought some necessities and then left the department store.

Once inside the taxi, Kawasaki Maru glanced at the car following behind them through the rearview mirror before casually looking away.

After returning to their apartment, Kawasaki Maru left again, leaving only Machi as the 'child' at home.

Kawasaki Machi was engrossed in playing the video game that Izumi had lent him when the doorbell rang.

He paused the game, ran over, and called out to the door in a childish, spoiled voice, "Who is it?"

"Hello, we are here to inspect the water pipes. Are any adults home?"

Upon hearing the reply from outside, Kawasaki Machi remained silent for a moment.

"My brother isn't home, so please come back later or tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go check other places first, and come back later."

"Okay, I'll tell my brother!"

After confirming that the person outside had left, Kawasaki Machi ran back to continue playing the game happily.

When the workers who were inspecting the water pipes returned, Kawasaki Maru still hadn't come back, so Machi called out again, "But my brother hasn't come back yet."

"Please, little brother, let us do the check-up today, because we need to go to another apartment for the check-up tomorrow."

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the workers outside the door exchanged glances and then looked at someone behind them.

The man shook his head slightly, about to indicate that he would let it go this time.

After all, he would definitely be very wary of that guy.

Just as he thought that, the door in front of him opened.

man:"……"

Looking at the pink-haired boy who opened the door and smiled innocently, he doubted the captain's judgment for a moment.

"Uncles, please come in."

Kawasaki Machi stepped aside to let the workers in.

Watching them diligently checking the water pipes for signs of impending damage, Zhenzhi glanced at the game he hadn't finished playing.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to move to his game and wait for them to finish their work.

After glancing at the child engrossed in the game, the man quickly installed the listening device in his hand in a position that would allow him to eavesdrop on the entire room from the widest possible angle.

After the workers finished their inspection, they left a business card for Kawasaki Machi, saying, "Little brother, if there are any problems with the water pipes in the future, feel free to contact us anytime."

"Okay, okay." Kawasaki Machi's gaze only shifted from the game for a few seconds.

"Then we'll be going now."

"Okay, okay, remember to close the door for me."

After the door closed, Kawasaki Machi put down his game, went to the kitchen, looked at a tampered water pipe, shrugged, and went back to playing his game.

It's obvious that they needed to break the water pipe when they were retrieving the listening device.

Kawasaki Machi sighed helplessly.

Don't they ever think about the possibility that my brother might know how to fix water pipes?

...

Organization No. 39 Safe House.

Tonight, there is not a single living person here except for Bertrand.

The silver-haired boy rolled around excitedly on the sofa.

"Full Moon Chapter ~ Full Moon Chapter ~ Hehehe~"

Afra knelt beside the sofa, watching him to prevent him from accidentally rolling off.

Just then, his cell phone, which was on the coffee table, rang. Akemi Miyano picked it up and handed it to him.

Bertrand casually pressed the answer button, "Hello? Hi, sis~"

Vermouth chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, her languid and alluring voice still audible even through the phone, "Sweetheart, a fun Halloween party, would you like to go?"

"Party?" Bertrand sat up abruptly, blinking in confusion before his eyes lit up with anticipation. "I want to go! I want to go!"

"Okay~ Vodka will take you there then~"

"Huh? Just vodka? What about you and Qin-chan, sis?" Bertrand's voice was filled with doubt.

“I have things to do, so I can’t go with you. As for Gin… I don’t think he’d be interested in this kind of party at all,” Vermouth explained helplessly.

"Alright then, it'll just be me and Vodka going to play, okay?"

"Hmm, have fun, sweetheart~" Vermouth smiled, gave Bertrand a kiss over the phone, and then hung up.

Hearing the busy tone from his phone, Bertrand raised an eyebrow slightly, then tossed the phone back onto the coffee table.

She just didn't want him to secretly follow her and cause trouble for Conan and Ran Mouri.

He still insisted on going.

Clutching a cushion, Bertrand's gaze was distant, and his smile held a hint of wickedness.

The day after tomorrow, at dusk, the sky turned twilight.

Vodka picked up Bertrand, who had been transformed into a cute little devil by Vermouth, and they were now on their way to the cruise ship where the party was being held.

Bertrand sat in the back seat, with Afra sitting next to him.

She was holding a mirror and pointing it at him.

Seeing that his makeup didn't obscure his usual appearance except for two small black hearts under each eye, Bertrand curiously poked the red horn on his forehead.

Petrrance shrugged helplessly, tucking his hands into his wide, long sleeves, then glanced at Vodka, who was driving.

"Hey, Fushimi-chan, you were actually following Koto-chan's orders to go to the party to investigate, not taking me with you because you asked your sister, right?"

He didn't need to wait for Vodka's answer, but sighed again, "Oh dear, you guys are all hiding things from me now~"

"Uh, about this..."

Vodka had barely opened his mouth when Bertrand interrupted him, "Alright, alright, it's not like I can't guess it."

As he spoke, Bertrand had Afra put a cat's-eye necklace on him, and then a mask covering the lower half of his face.

Chino House.

Chizuru stood by the window of an unlit room on the second floor, gazing in the direction of Agasa's residence.

The actors and the audience are all ready.

Qianzhu glanced at 01 floating beside her, still holding snacks in her hands, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

He sat back down on the sofa and then clicked on 'live stream'.

Two screens appeared in front of him; one showed the scene on the ship, and the other showed the current progress of the main storyline.

In this main storyline, almost everyone is wearing another layer of skin.

Qianzhu held an empty teacup in her hand and tapped the rim of the cup lightly with her fingertips, instantly filling the cup with warm black tea.

Just as Jodie arrived at Agasa's house before Dr. Shinichi and took away Conan disguised as Ai Haibara, Chizuru tapped the rim of her cup a few times.

On the cruise ship, the masked little devil lowered his eyelids, glanced at the dead man who had fallen onto the deck, then glanced at Vodka, who was dressed as a zombie, and moved away without attracting anyone's attention.
