Fang Zheng knew without any hesitation who sent this letter.

The reason is simple, he put a spy on Vermouth.

He can even see Vermouth taking a bath!

Even Fang Zheng knew about Vermouth's plan - she wanted to use this letter to lure Fang Zheng away from home, because she also sent the same letter to Maori Kogoro and Edogawa Conan. In Vermouth's view, since Fang Zheng is a senior consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, he would definitely not stand idly by when encountering such a thing...

Well, but actually Fang Zheng would, especially considering that if Conan and Maori Kogoro really went, he would just go to a cinema to watch a movie.

Of course, if Fang Zheng didn't go, Vermouth had another trick, which was to go directly to the Metropolitan Police Department and destroy Skynet's server. In this way, as Skynet's chief designer and maintainer, Fang Zheng would have to be there. As long as he was separated from the Miyano sisters, Vermouth would kill Miyano Akemi in a flash, use Miyano Akemi's voice to lure out Huihara Ai and kill her, and then quickly withdraw.

I have to say that the whole plan is pretty good, and with Vermouth's skills it is indeed easy to succeed.

As for sending a letter to Conan, it was also to lure the tiger away from the mountain. After all, Ai always stays with Conan and the members of the Junior Detective League on weekdays. Just in case, it is better to transfer Conan away as well.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, there was no signature on the three invitation letters, and the name on the letter to Conan was also Kudo Shinichi.

This gives people the feeling that it is very similar to the kind of incoherent letters for help or warning letters that Conan and Maori Kogoro had received before. Given their personalities, they would definitely run to join in the fun.

"What's going on with Conan?"

Fang Zheng explained the current situation to Mingmei and Xiaoai, then looked at Xiaoai.

"He was planning to go, but Xiaolan didn't seem to want to go."

"Why? Oh...she's afraid of ghosts."

Fang Zheng silently glanced at the words "Halloween Party" on the invitation, and suddenly realized. I don't know why, but girls with strong personalities seem to be afraid of ghosts, Asuna is like this, Xiaolan is also like this...

"So Conan plans to go with Maori Kogoro, right?"

"That's right for now."

"Simple then."

Fang Zheng quickly gave his plan.

"That's all we need to do. You two pretend to kill Vermouth by jumping over the tower, then retreat. I'll jump out from the river and block her from behind to easily finish her off... Understand what I mean?"

“……???”

Mingmei and Xiaoai looked at each other and shook their heads.

not understand.

"I will go to the Halloween party, and then you will take the opportunity to sneak out. Anyway, I have placed a watch on Vermouth, and you can see her exact location from your personal terminal. As soon as you find that she starts to follow you, immediately find a deserted place. Of course, it is best to find a remote and spacious place... Then I will come back to meet up with you, and take the opportunity to outflank her from behind and deal with her directly."

Having said this, Fang Zheng clapped his hands.

"Now you understand?"

"I see, but I still have a question."

At this time, Xiao Ai asked again.

"What's the problem?"

"According to our investigation, the party was held on a ship at the dock, and after the party began, the ship would leave the dock and sail towards the Pacific Ocean. And according to the photos, it was a sailboat, and there was no place to dock a helicopter. Given Vermouth's personality, she would definitely attack us after you are far away from land. In that case, how are you going to get back?"

“Isn’t this simple?”

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"I'm an alien, so of course I have a lot of ways to do it. Teleportation, UFOs, aren't those all possible?"

"Don't tell jokes here, let's talk about serious matters."

"I'm telling the truth."

Fang Zheng looked at Xiao Ai and chuckled.

"Don't you want to know my true identity every day? You will know when the time comes."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai's face suddenly turned red and she turned her head away.

"Who wants to know your true identity?"

"Don't you look at me every day? To put it bluntly, you just want my body! If you really care that much, why don't we take a bath together today and I'll show you my whole body!"

“What a pervert!”

Hearing this, Xiao Ai was so scared that she quickly hid behind Mingmei.

"Sister, there's a pervert here!"

"What's wrong with men being perverted?"

Fang Zheng said this while giving a thumbs up.

"Men are supposed to be perverted!"

“…”

After hearing this, Ai was completely speechless, while Mingmei covered her mouth and chuckled, just watching the fun without saying anything.

"Anyway, that's it. Remember, lead her to a deserted place. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for me to show up."

After giving the order, Fang Zheng also stood up.

"Also, if you have any questions about my prototype, you can watch a few more movies about alien monsters these days to at least be mentally prepared."

“Woo…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Xiao Ai's expression changed slightly.

"You are not really transformed from an octopus or something like that..."

"Hahaha, then you can guess."

After saying this, Fang Zheng turned and left, leaving Xiao Ai staring at his back speechlessly, then turned around and looked at Mingmei.

"Sister, why don't you speak up for me?"

"Because I think you guys are quite interesting."

Mingmei just giggled and reached out to touch Ai's head.

"After all, in my memory, you are still that little sister... Now I can finally get back some of the original feeling."

"Sister, you say that as if I'm not normally your sister."

"Because you weren't so mature when you were a kid..."

As she spoke, Mingmei seemed to be lost in her childhood memories again.

"Back then you were always very sensible and obedient, but you also showed your lively side. But now my sister looks like a little adult, and sometimes it makes me sad."

However, looking at Mingmei in front of her, Xiao Ai couldn't help but feel a brain twitch.

"But, sister, in ten years, I will become a glamorous high school girl like Xiaolan, and you will just become an old woman. Why don't you confess to Mr. Fang Zheng now?"

“…”

Hearing this, Mingmei smiled and reached out to hold Ai's shoulders.

"Oh, are you saying that I'm old? I'm only in my early twenties."

“…”

"Shiho, it's been a while since we two sisters have had a long conversation, right? How about we have a good chat tonight?"

"...I'm sorry, sister, I was wrong, please forgive me... Wait, Fang Zheng, help, help...!!!"

That night, Haibara Ai finally experienced once again the fear of being dominated by her sister, and the disaster brought about by her own bad mouth.

However, this had nothing to do with Fang Zheng. After dressing up, he drove to the pier to attend the "inappropriate Halloween party".

When Fang Zheng arrived at the dock, there were already a bunch of people on the dock. Each of them was dressed in various costumes, including werewolves, mummies, zombies and so on. Under the blood-red sunset, the whole dock looked like a riot of demons... No wonder Xiaolan refused to come.

Most people would feel creepy when seeing this thing even if they know it is fake.

"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, you are here too."

Not long after Fang Zheng arrived at the dock, he heard a familiar voice. Turning his head, he soon saw Maori Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko. Maori Kogoro was dressed up as a vampire, but this vampire looked like he hadn't sucked blood for a long time and was about to die. Sonoko was dressed up as a witch, holding a broom and wearing a pointy tricorn hat, looking like she was enjoying it wholeheartedly.

"Hello, Mr. Maori, I didn't expect you to be here too, Sonoko."

Fang Zheng greeted Kogoro Mori, then looked at Sonoko, who was also looking at Fang Zheng with a smile.

"Yes, but I didn't expect that you, Mr. Fang Zheng, would also participate, and you are dressed so handsomely... This is an elf, right?"

"That's about right."

Hearing Yuanzi's question, Fang Zheng nodded. What he was wearing now was the adventurer's costume from the main world. This set was a gift from the elf girls when Fang Zheng left the Elf Village. Fang Zheng usually had no chance to wear it, but this time he was going to attend the masquerade ball, so he put it all on.

After all, the whole outfit is in elven style, coupled with the elegant pattern on the cloak, the longbow and quiver carried by Fang Zheng, and the pair of long pointed ears, an elven ranger who seems to have walked out of a fantasy story was born.

Fang Zheng's appearance also attracted the attention of many people present. Although everyone here had prepared a lot for the Halloween party, it was rare to see someone who prepared a full set of clothes like Fang Zheng. Moreover, the bow and arrow behind Fang Zheng did not look like a new product. It had an old feeling of having been used for a long time, which made it feel more real.

Coupled with Fang Zheng's good looks, he naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. Many women felt their faces blush just by looking at Fang Zheng.

"By the way, where's Conan? I heard he's coming along too?"

"Hahaha."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Yuanzi laughed, then reached out and pulled out a small shadow from the side.

"Come on, kid, let Mr. Fang Zheng see you dressed like this!"

"puff!"

Looking at Conan who was pulled out of the crowd by Sonoko, Fang Zheng almost burst out laughing. He saw a small figure in front of him wearing a tattered gray cloak, with a big pumpkin head on his head and a lantern in his hand. He was curious about what Conan would look like after being made up, but it turned out to be a pumpkin monster!

“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's laughter, Conan felt depressed. Why could others dress up as elf princes while he could only be a big-headed pumpkin monster?

This gap is too big! !

"How is it? Mr. Fang Zheng, this is a work of my confidence!"

What made Conan even more depressed was that Sonoko actually jumped out and started bragging about herself.

"Great, as expected of Ms. Sonoko, you put on makeup really well."

“Hahahahaha!!”

Looking at Sonoko's heroic smile, Fang Zheng couldn't help but clap his hands - well, how should I put it, every time I see Maori Kogoro and Sonoko standing together, I have the illusion that they are father and daughter. In comparison, Maori Ran looks more like a daughter of a wealthy family - could it be that these two were taken away by mistake at birth? ?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think.

Should we take this opportunity to do a paternity test on Kogoro Mori and Sonoko Suzuki?
