Chapter 815 Please Respect the Organization

"ok~" Vermouth dipped the paint, held Jiang Xia's arm with one hand to fix it, and reached out to his face with the other hand.

Just as he was about to wipe it, someone suddenly spoke hesitantly from the side: "...Jiang Xia!"

When Vermouth heard the familiar voice, her fingertips moved and the painting went crooked.

“…”

She hid a piece of tissue in her palm as if nothing had happened, and wiped off the wrong strokes while it was still dark.

Then he turned around and saw three people.

——Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan following them.

…

One minute ago.

Maori father and daughter and Conan were discussing tonight's schedule.

As they were talking, Mao Lilan suddenly saw a figure that looked very much like Jiang Xia in the crowd. After a closer look, it really was Jiang Xia.

However, it seemed that Jiang Xia was on a date. Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment but did not disturb him.

Unexpectedly, soon the woman who looked a bit social actually took Jiang Xia to the bar.

Mao Lilan, who wanted to eat melon quietly, said: "..."

Following her line of sight, Conan spotted Jiang Xia: "..."

...It doesn't feel good.

I think of Jiang Xia’s personality, that he doesn’t like to refuse and will go along with anyone who invites him.

Mao Lilan couldn't help but step forward and talk to them, stopping the two men from moving towards the drinks.

…

Looking at Maori and the other two coming over.

Vermouth leaned against Jiang Xia and said with a low laugh in the relaxed tone of a bystander, "Oh, your friend found out."

"..." Jiang Xia didn't expect to meet his favorite trio of neighbors in this place.

He glanced at the time.

At this normal time, Mao Lilan should already be cooking.

And today, since she appeared here, it meant that the Maori family might be planning to go out for a meal - in addition to bars, there are many specialty restaurants nearby, making it a well-known food street.

Jiang Xia was briefly torn between the "bar" and the "neighborhood army".

Then I decided to join the latter.

According to the current situation, we probably won’t be able to drink the new sweet wine of the season, at least tonight.

——The Maori father and daughter were relatively easy to fool, but for some reason, Conan's gaze was particularly suspicious: the way he stared at Vermouth was so sharp that it wouldn't be surprising if Vermouth suddenly turned into a murderer in the next second...

Judging from the situation, Jiang Xia thought that even if he said goodbye to his neighbors and separated, Conan might slip away from Maori father and daughter and follow them... He would not be able to drink peacefully.

In that case, we might as well just join them.

After all, encountering these three lovely neighbors is a very good sign for a psychic.

As for what I want to talk to Vermouth about, we can actually talk about it at any time, even by sending an email, there's no need to waste time at this moment.

…

Vermouth saw Jiang Xia walking towards her Angel and Cool Guy and thought he was just coming over to say hello in a friendly manner.

Unexpectedly, after saying hello, Uzo actually stayed with the Maori family and refused to leave, as if he wanted to spend the night together.

Vermouth: "..."

The corner of her eye twitched, and she once again had some unhappy realizations about her position in Uzo's heart.

However, when Mao Lilan turned to her and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to come together?"

Vermouth's mood, which had been gloomy and rainy, improved a lot. She hesitated for a moment and nodded.

...It’s not that I want to sit at the same table with these three high school students and enjoy the happy atmosphere.

But considering the character she had shown towards Uzo, it would be strange for her to refuse outright now.

but……

Vermouth suddenly thought: Uzo concealed the fact that Shinichi had become smaller from the organization, and when he was asked before, he insisted that Kudo Shinichi was dead... Uzo obviously cared about these two childhood friends. If so, why wasn't he afraid that "Vermouth", a dangerous member of the organization, would approach them? -- In the eyes of others, Vermouth didn't know Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, and she didn't have any special feelings for the two furry kids.

But now...

Vermouth couldn't help but think back to when Uzo readily agreed to the appointment a few hours ago.

...The number of suspicious areas has increased.

The doubts she had suppressed before also resurfaced.

"..." Could it be that Usa had noticed something? For example, her unusual attention to Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi... or "Conan".

...No, not necessarily.

Vermouth quickly thought of other possible explanations:

It is said that Uzo once sank an expensive modified ship of the organization in order to force gin and vodka to watch his play. And it is obviously not the first time that Uzo has done such a thing as "ruining the organization in order to get people to watch a death play".

In other words, when Uzo acted, the driving force brought by his interest clearly overrode his awe of the organization.

...No, to be precise, Wu Zuo didn't seem to have much respect for the organization. Maybe it was just because "Jiang Xia" was born here, and the organization happened to provide him with a lot of assassination lists, Wu Zuo felt more comfortable in the organization and simply stayed there.

"..." Since he didn't have much respect for the organization, let alone for her - just now, Wu Zuo walked to Angel and Cool Guy, perhaps without thinking too much, just because he liked to do so. And I... was simply ignored by him.

Vermouth found a conclusion that seemed quite reasonable and convincing to herself.

Then he put his doubts aside for the moment and joined the team with dignity.

…

Ten minutes later.

The top floor of Shibahama Building.

In the newly opened open-air rooftop restaurant.

Four people sat in a circle, eating the side dishes on the table while watching the performance on the stage comfortably.

Kogoro Mouri did not come with them - he met an old classmate whom he hadn't seen for ten years and made an appointment to have a drink.

Vermouth was the only adult present.

She pulled out the beach chair and sat down, looking around - mainly at the three people sitting at the same table. She couldn't help but smile a little.

...It's really good to follow Uzo. Although there are risks, the current scene is not something you can experience at any time.

…

Today is the first day of the rooftop restaurant's opening.

In addition to many free side dishes, the restaurant also organized performances.

Mao Lilan was lucky enough to win the second prize at the supermarket where she was buying groceries, and can choose a table from several VIP seats today.

She chose a seat near the front - there were several well-known bands performing at the rooftop restaurant.

At this time, the atmosphere on the stage was very hot. Amid the blue beach backdrop, a rhythmic and penetrating female voice sounded. The heroic hostess said enthusiastically: "Thank you all for coming! - Next, I will present the most passionate song for you, Everlasting Luv!"
