Chapter 627 Thank you for your compliment!
"Little...sweetheart!?"
Vermouth's eyes widened slightly as she looked incredulously at the boy who was intently examining Ai Haibara and Ran Mouri at her feet.
"Didn't you go out with Vodka? What are you doing here?"
Although she was a little nervous, she didn't show it on her face.
Bertrand's smile remained dazzlingly bright. "Guess, sister~"
As he spoke, he glanced at Shuichi Akai, then raised his hand, which was tucked into his long sleeve, seemingly pointing to the gun in Shuichi's hand that was pointed at Vermouth. "Hey, Shuichi-nii, it's dangerous for you to point a gun at someone like that~"
"Look, your sister is injured." Bertrand looked at Vermouth's arm, her concern in her eyes genuine.
"Afra, go and bandage your sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red figure descended from above and landed steadily beside Vermouth, without even bending its legs.
Shuichi Akai's gaze sharpened; he sensed a threat emanating from the woman in the red dress before him.
Afra wore a small, delicate bag tied around her waist, shaped like a butterfly.
She took out a mini alcohol spray, anti-inflammatory ointment, and medical gauze from her bag and gave Vermouth's gunshot wound a simple treatment.
Vermouth stared at the bandage on her arm, slightly taken aback.
Bertrand chuckled, then suddenly squatted down and poked Ai Haibara's cheek. "Hello~ Sherry-neechan~"
Seeing her visibly terrified and stunned expression, Bertrand pursed his lips in boredom, then his eyes darted around as if he had come up with some crazy idea.
He stood up and looked excitedly at Shuichi Akai, "Shuichi-nii, wanna have a fight?"
"...What?" Shuichi Akai's eyes flickered slightly, his mind unable to keep up with the other person's train of thought. He really couldn't guess what kind of trick this guy was up to again.
Bertrand chuckled twice and called out loudly, "Sister Mingmei!"
Ai Haibara and Shuichi Akai: !!
Seeing that the two FBI agents opposite her were distracted by Bertrand, Vermouth took the opportunity to pick up Conan and move back a little distance in a hostage-taking position.
At the same time, a soft footstep sound came from behind Bertrand.
When their figures were exposed to the light, Ai Haibara and Shuichi Akai's eyes narrowed almost simultaneously.
Sister... Sister!
Ai Haibara struggled in Ran Mouri's arms, but Ran held her tightly, and she couldn't break free even with all her might.
Akemi Miyano smiled gently at Bertrand and asked him softly, "What's wrong?"
Bertrand laughed happily, pointed at Ai Haibara and then at Shuichi Akai, "Akami-neechan, do you still remember them?"
Akemi Miyano's smile held a hint of doubt. She glanced down at Ai Haibara for a few seconds, then looked up at Shuichi Akai. After a moment's thought, she smiled and uttered a few words, "I don't know them."
"I see~" Bertrand raised an eyebrow slightly, giving Shuichi Akai a somewhat provocative look. "Akami-neechan, why don't you go and deal with him?"
Upon hearing this, Miyano Akemi looked at Akai Shuichi, her smile vanished, her tone lost its warmth, and her voice lowered slightly, "It was him who bullied Koya."
She reached into her coat and pulled out two daggers, then strode towards Shuichi Akai.
Shuichi Akai dodged.
Faced with Akemi Miyano's attacks, Shuichi Akai could only defend.
Bertrand clicked his tongue a few times, watching the show with a particularly leisurely air, with no intention of revealing the relationship between Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano.
As Akemi Miyano restrained Shuichi Akai, a gloved hand suddenly covered Jodie's mouth and nose with a handkerchief that had been sprayed with medicine.
She fainted completely before she could even make a sound.
After she fainted, he forcefully dragged her into the darkness with both hands.
Bertrand chuckled twice, then turned around and squatted down, staring at Ai Haibara. "Sister Sherry, let me ask you, would you choose your sister or someone who has nothing to do with you?"
His eyes crinkled into a smile, and after speaking, he reached out and poked Ran Mouri, who had already fainted.
"But speaking of which, just like what my sister said earlier, Sister Xiaolan is practically an angel, right? She actually risked her life to protect you..."
His voice lowered, and his hand emerged from his sleeve, holding a small pistol. He crouched down at an angle that would block Vermouth's view.
He pointed the gun at Ran Mouri's temple, his exposed eyes crinkling, but there was no smile in them. "What do you think, Sherry-neechan?"
Ai Haibara trembled all over, and a hint of hatred seemed to appear in her usually cold eyes.
She took a few deep breaths, glared angrily at Bertrand, and said in a trembling voice, "You devil..."
Bertrand remained unmoved, still smiling, "Oh, well, I should thank you for the compliment!"
"Xiao Ye, the police are almost here."
Scotland walked over, squatted down beside him, and whispered something.
"Ah~ so fast." There was still some regret in Bertrand's tone. He glanced at Ai Haibara, who was relieved, snorted, put the gun away, and then tapped her forehead with his finger.
"I'm telling you, she really is your sister~ Next time I'll definitely let you make a choice, bye-bye~"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give her another glance, but instead stood up and looked at Vermouth.
"Sister! Akemi-neechan! Afra! We have to go! The police are almost here!"
Upon hearing this, Akemi Miyano stabbed Shuichi Akai one last time, then quickly retreated and returned to the car that had come from Scotland.
Vermouth pondered for a moment, glanced down at Conan, and quickly led him back to her car.
Once Afra had returned to the car, Scotland started the car and drove away.
Bertrand turned around and glanced through the rear window at Vermouth in the car behind.
He gave a soft hum and turned his head back.
Shuichi Akai, having dodged Akemi Miyano's final stab, gripped his gun tightly, his gaze fixed intently on their departing car.
This is a huge problem.
And what about Scotland that just appeared? Is that really Scotland...?
Although there were many questions, he didn't have time to think about them now, since he could already hear the sirens.
“Judy…” Shuichi Akai turned around and found that where Judy had been, there was no trace of her except for a lost gun.
"..."
At that moment, he could easily guess the purpose of Bertrand's sudden appearance.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance, picked up the gun, and left.
As for the two girls, the police are almost here.
