Chapter 3275 3287 [The Targeted Sherry] Ask for a monthly ticket ()
"that……"
Seeing that the important matters seemed to be almost finished, Kudo Yukiko poked her head out from behind Jiang Xia and Kisaki Eri, looking at Maori Kogoro with hesitation: "I have something to ask you."
"Oh, Yukiko!" Maori Kogoro finally had time to greet this beautiful neighbor, "Long time no see! What's up? Just ask!"
"Then let me ask you this!" Yukiko Kudo, who had just looked shy, suddenly became murderous, like a general who had just stepped onto the battlefield. "You should still remember the beauty pageant at Teitan High School 20 years ago - who did you vote for in the end?"
——Of the 20,001 ballots sent out that year, 20,000 were collected, 10,000 each from her and Eri Kisaki. The last remaining ballot, according to Ran Mouri, was in the pocket of Kogoro Mouri's clothes.
"The beauty pageant 20 years ago?" Kogoro Mouri scratched his head. He was about to say that he had forgotten it, but before he opened his mouth, he belatedly felt two dark gazes filled with oppression.
"..." Under the gaze of the two ladies, Maori Kogoro was forced to use his brain, which was not often used. After a while, he remembered, "Oh, that."
Kudo Yukiko and Kisaki Eri: "!"
He actually remembers it?!
The two looked at each other subconsciously: Is the outcome, which has been delayed for 20 years, going to be revealed today?
"It must have been given to Eri." Kudo Yukiko muttered to herself, "After all, they have known each other since childhood. This is a friendship ticket - yes, a friendship ticket, it doesn't count."
"It must be Yukiko." Hibari muttered in her heart, "When she was in high school, she was so cute that it was scary. If I were in her place, I would not be able to help but vote for her..."
"I wrote Eri's name on that ticket." Maori Kogoro looked at Jiang Xia and Maori Ran happily, reminiscing about the past with these two alumni who had been separated for more than 20 years:
"You don't know, the guy who organized the beauty pageant at that time insisted on keeping up with the trend, saying that he wanted to 'keep up with the international standards', and asked us to choose 'MISS Teitan' - I thought that MISS meant 'mystery', so I chose Eri, the nerd, and was puzzled for a while as to why Yukiko could make it to the finals."
The corner of Kudo Yukiko's eyes twitched: "......?" What do you mean, guy!
Maori Kogoro sighed: "If I had known that this was actually a beauty pageant, I would have voted for Yukiko - let alone that year, in all the years before and after, is there any girl in Teitan High School who is prettier than her?"
"Haha!" Kudo Yukiko reluctantly forgave this old classmate: Although he couldn't speak, he did have some aesthetic taste.
Next to her, the air pressure around Hibari Eri dropped rapidly.
"Oops, I suddenly forgot one thing."
Hibiki Eri looked down at the only two stacks of money left on the table and picked up one stack: "This commission was able to be solved thanks to a few of us. According to the rules of the industry, we have to take 10% as a reward - we will take this 1 million first."
Mao Lilan thought that after today's beauty saving the hero, her parents would be able to reconcile, but now...
The female high school student picked up the remaining stack of money and counted it with a smile: "Your credit at the izakaya and the snack bar, the living expenses for this month and next month, the pocket money you paid in advance, the dry cleaning money for your suit pants, the money for buying a new sofa..."
Maori Kogoro was struck by lightning: "..." Suit pants! Oops, my daughter must have guessed something!
His heart skipped a beat, and when he came to his senses, he saw Mao Lilan had already opened her small wallet, pulled out a few loose bills, poured out the coins inside, and slapped the small change into his hand.
"Okay! This is your commission fee this time." Mao Lilan looked at her father's devastated face and felt subtly relieved. "Work hard and earn money - and remember, horse racing is harmful to people."
Maori Kogoro slumped back into his chair: "..." He, his 10 million...
Before it even touched my hands, it flew away.
…
"fine."
The next day, when Jiang Xia went next door to have breakfast as usual, he talked about this matter with Huibara Ai.
The mini scientist was quite satisfied with this ending: "That uncle sometimes does things that are really outrageous, and he needs a lesson... But then again, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid Kudo wouldn't have been able to get away with it for so long under his nose."
After being distracted for a short while because of her daily life, Haibara Ai quickly remembered another thing and her expression became a little solemn.
It happened that Dr. Agasa stayed up late to work on inventions yesterday and did not come for breakfast, so there were only the two of them at the table.
Huihara Ai moved closer to Jiang Xia and lowered her voice: "Come to think of it, on the way home from school a few days ago, Ayumi said that someone seemed to be taking pictures of us - when I turned around and looked over, I only saw a figure slipping into the alley."
"If it's just an ordinary voyeur, it would be okay. But if not..." When Haibara Ai said this, her heart began to beat uncontrollably. A kind of suffocating breath slowly floated up to her heart from her memory, wrapping around her tightly like a snake.
She paused before continuing, "Do you think my current identity has aroused their suspicion? Although not many people in that organization have seen my childhood appearance, if there is a Pisco, there may be another Peter Colen..."
Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and remembered this incident: the one who took the photo of Huibara Ai on the way home from school should be Vermouth.
Vermouth, a big American movie star, frequently visited Dr. Shinde's clinic after arriving in Tokyo. The FBI, who were watching her, noticed this and immediately understood that based on the methods of this Thousand-Faced Witch, she was likely trying to kill Dr. Shinde and replace him.
So the FBI first protected Dr. Shinde's family, and then faked the scene of the family falling into the water and dying while traveling to another place.
In this way, Vermouth can successfully replace the identity of "Doctor Shinchu", and the FBI can successfully grasp Vermouth's new identity and continue to closely monitor the members of this organization.
And now, since Haibara Ai felt that she was being secretly photographed, her photos might have been developed by Vermouth and hidden in the Shindo Clinic.
Then the FBI should have successfully obtained these photos from her.
"Akai Shuichi has seen Shirley. With his observation skills, if he sees that photo, it shouldn't be difficult for him to realize the current situation - he will probably soon turn his attention to Huibara Ai." Jiang Xia muttered in his heart:
"Also, Vermouth was so decisive in attacking Shirley..."
This apple, which is always full of surprises, is never idle.
