Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 277: Shadows Haunting Yokohama
"Pala~"

‘Papa~’

The raindrops as big as beans hit the window, making crisp sounds.

In the room of the apartment.

Kurosawa Mirai sat in front of the computer, her fingers jumping on the keyboard.

Recently, because she chats with her sister every day, her typing speed has taken off.

I often make typos...

The curtains in Ying's room were completely opened, and she could clearly see the rain outside. The sky was dark, but there were some bright gray clouds, indicating that the sun was still hanging in the sky.

The window on the computer is the chat interface of [Lianzhu].

However, the person that Kurosawa Mirai is chatting with now is not his sister...

The name on the chat window is just one word: [Mirror]

After Kurosawa Mirai sent a bunch of messages, he waited anxiously for a long time.

Just less than a minute.

The other party replied firmly:
【no. 】

Seeing this reply, the look in Kurosawa Mirai's eyes dimmed. He sighed dejectedly, typed a few more words and sent them, then silently turned off the computer.

She wanted to see Shiho...mainly because Shiho went to school today and she couldn't chat with her.

However, her request to meet her sister was rejected by Lord Mirror.

The reason is that the Black Organization has recently launched a major operation, and there is a high chance that they will be targeted if they go to Tokyo.

Not only did Jing restrict her from going to Tokyo, he also restricted Haibara Ai's movements. Except for going to school and group outings, Jing never allowed her to go out alone.

"Compared to that, I am free."

Kurosawa Mirai felt sympathy for her sister.

At least she can go out normally, as long as she is careful not to be abducted by human traffickers...

She also understands that this is a special period and reducing activities will be beneficial to everyone.

I can’t chat with my sister, and playing games is boring.

Kurosawa Mirai shook her arms and legs, turned off the computer, did a set of weird "gymnastics" in the room, and walked out of the room drenched in sweat.

As soon as she came out, she heard the sound of rummaging next door.

Kurosawa Mirai first found a towel to wipe the sweat off her face, hung the towel around her neck, and walked into the next room:

"Brother Jingguang, are you looking for something?"

The room next door belonged to Zhufu Jingguang.

Now this man, a former Japanese public security officer and undercover agent of the organization, is rummaging through his room.

"Ah, Miss, did I disturb you?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang felt a little embarrassed when he saw her come in.

Kurosawa Mirai has become immune to the title of 'young lady' and blinked, "Not really, I'm just curious about what you're doing, Jingguang brother."

"Call me uncle." Zhu Fu Jingguang corrected himself, then smiled bitterly, "I just realized that the disguise materials Kaito gave me have been used up, so I want to see if there are any props that can be used as a cover-up..."

But whether it was a scarf, a hat or a mask, Zhu Fu Jingguang always felt that it was not safe enough.

Not to mention it's summer now, wearing too much would be more suspicious.

Kurosawa Mirai revealed his half-moon eyes.

Why did Brother Jingguang insist on her calling him uncle? Obviously, the real age difference between them was not even ten years...

This really treats her as a child!
"Brother Jingguang, are you going out?" Kurosawa Mirai chose to keep the title without hesitation.

"Yes, I'm going out to buy groceries." Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't bother to address her this time, but stared at the cabinet anxiously, "But I don't know what to wear..."

If Ying was there, he could still chase people out to buy groceries.

But now Ying has gone out to deal with the organization's affairs, leaving only him and Mirai at home.

It’s frustrating... It’s really troublesome not having disguise materials.

Not only was Kaito in school today, but he also called Kaito during the break just now to ask about it. He then learned that Kaito only had a few materials left, and the new batch of goods had not arrived yet...

Kurosawa Mirai listened and blinked: "Then I'll just go out and buy it...Brother Jingguang will give me the money." She had also gone to buy vegetables when she had just returned before, and she was also familiar with the nearby roads.

But later on, I rarely went out...

"How can this be possible?" Zhu Fu Jingguang disagreed, frowning, "What if you, a little kid, go out to buy groceries and get kidnapped?"

If anything really happened, he felt that Lord Gin would kill him.

Kurosawa Mirai was speechless, "Brother Jingguang, I'm twenty-four..."

She just became smaller, not a real child! How could she be kidnapped so easily!
Zhu Fujingguang put his hands on his waist and said, "You are only nine years old... and even if you are twenty-four, weren't you deceived by Lei Yi before?"

Kurosawa Mirai blushed: "What, what? I wasn't fooled!"

She volunteered! Volunteered!

Then she felt a little melancholy again - I wonder how the prince is doing now? I heard that many FBI people are now operating in Japan. Will the prince come back too?

"...Really?" Zhu Fujingguang was stunned for a moment, "But didn't Gin say...ah, forget it, it's nothing."

Halfway through his words, he probably felt that speaking out about this would make Future sad, so he stopped awkwardly.

Kurosawa Mirai narrowed his eyes, "What did Gin say?"

“…Nothing…”

"Brother Jingguang!"

Kurosawa Mirai pouted and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me...Give me the money, I'll go buy some groceries."

She probably thought Gin was saying that she was cheated by the Lord or something...

Although she knew it, but... the prince finally confessed to her, so it can't be considered a lie... right?

"..."

No, she couldn't think about it anymore. If she continued to think about it, she would feel like she had really been cheated.

"You going? I think I should wait for Ying to come back..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang was still a little worried.

But right now.

Both of their stomachs growled in protest.

They all looked at the clock on the wall and fell into deep thought.

"It's already one o'clock..."

"Yeah, that's right... Brother Jingguang, how long have you been looking for the disguise props?"

"Um, maybe starting at ten?"

Kurosawa Mirai: “…”

Did you start looking so early? She remembered that she seemed to have gotten up at twelve o'clock.

……

In the end, Kurosawa Mirai successfully extorted 100,000 yen from Morobushi Keiko to buy groceries.

Although one hundred thousand may seem like a lot, it is actually just ten ten thousand dollar bills.

After finding the convenience store with ease, Kurosawa Mirai launched a sweep operation...

Because there were very few children as young as her who came out to buy groceries, she attracted the attention of other customers and store clerks in the supermarket.

In the end, she spent more than half of the 100,000 yuan and bought three large bags of stored grain to move home.

"The skills taught by Mr. Ying are indeed magical." Kurosawa Mirai said lightly.

After practicing this "Three Body Skills" for a while, I feel like I have become much stronger.

She easily returned to the apartment building carrying three bags of goods that together were almost heavier than herself.

But she didn't realize that someone was secretly watching her from beginning to end...

"Sir, a new target has been found in the target apartment building..."

"No, it's a little girl."
