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

Chapter 361: Tokyo is flammable and explosive, so it's not too cold tonight

After hearing Vermouth's question, Haibara Ai opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, another series of hoarse coughs rang out.

Belmode: "..."

Shirley's cold is too serious, isn't it? Should she take some medicine to prevent it? Otherwise, if she really gets infected, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Haibara Ai probably felt that she had to take medicine all the time, so she took out two more pills and swallowed them with mineral water.

She let out a long breath, then said absentmindedly, "I'm not stupid."

"...?"

Vermouth was stunned for a second before she realized that Haibara Ai was answering her question. Her cheek twitched - why did she feel a hint of sarcasm?
"But you, you sent everyone away and brought me out alone, what do you want to do? Doctor Shinide." Huihara Ai took out a lollipop from her other pocket, completely forgetting the lesson she learned from her illness, and stuffed it into her mouth, "Or should I call you Aunt Vermouth? You don't think you are so kind as to really take me to see a doctor."

When Vermouth watched Haibara Ai eating a lollipop, the image of Gin eating candy appeared in her mind again.

She was a little dazed, but the word "Auntie" immediately brought her back to reality, and veins popped out on her hands holding the steering wheel.

Vermouth sneered, but still didn't use her original voice. "You'll soon know what I'm going to do... But I didn't expect you to be so calm, Shirley, don't you plan to linger on for a while longer?"

"Longing on." Huiyuan Ai held a lollipop in her mouth, rolled her eyes, and repeated the idiom in somewhat broken Chinese before saying, "Already lingering on."

After that, she looked out the car window.

If she could survive today, she would soon face her first test in the five-star group... She hoped the overall difficulty level would not be too high.

Belmode: "..."

Shirley’s attitude is really infuriating!
Also, why is Shirley's personality somewhat different from the information she got? She doesn't have the temperament of a scientist at all, but the temperament of a salted fish is vividly displayed on the paper.

Seeing her looking out the window, Vermouth thought she had something else in mind, and said coldly, "I advise you not to do anything tricky..."

"Don't worry, I will stay in the car." Huihara Ai retracted her gaze, her eyes indifferent, "If I fall off the car at the speed you are driving, a concussion will be the least of my problems."

"..."

Vermouth resisted the urge to throw the person out of the car, took a deep breath, and said with gritted teeth, "Ah, you are not afraid at all?"

Huiyuan Ai glanced at her and said in a flat and hoarse tone: "Ah, I'm so scared, can you let me go home?"

"……cannot!"

"Oh."

The look in Haibara Ai's eyes when she looked at Vermouth was as if to say, 'Then what the hell am I afraid of?'

Noticing her gaze, Vermouth's eyes twitched and she really wanted to throw the person out of the car.

And what made Vermouth's blood pressure rise the most was that after Huiyuan Ai responded, she actually...

Just sit down and close your eyes to rest!

Vermouth took a deep breath and decided to ignore her - Shirley didn't have any dangerous props on her anyway.

Although her calm attitude was frightening, Vermouth felt that this might be because she had completely given up hope of escape, so she didn't take it too seriously.

She glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed a suspicious vehicle following behind her. She then pressed the monitoring headset on her ear and spoke in her original voice:
"That's almost it, let's get started."

……

Tsukishima Pier.

Several police officers wearing protective clothing were searching the container area on the south side.

"Did you find anything else?"

"Not yet, Commander Matsuda, we haven't found any explosives yet..."

A police officer looked at his superior with a look of shame on his face.

Standing opposite him was the curly-haired Jinpei Matsuda.

The latter held sunglasses in his hand and glanced around, "Don't let your guard down, keep looking... It's possible that this is a 'prank' by the criminal." "Yes!"

The police officer saluted respectfully, then continued to search the suspicious corners nearby with the monitoring equipment.

In a shadow behind them.

A man with a foreign face was observing their movements carefully, holding a communication device in his hand, and seemed to be reporting to someone.

After following for a while, probably seeing that nothing happened, the foreign man decided to leave.

But at this moment.

A loud bang was heard from a distance. He turned his head sharply to look at the source of the sound and found that a fire was rising into the sky just to the south!
“It’s an explosion!”

"That place is not at the dock at all! Those cunning criminals..."

He heard the officers shouting.

Then, the police who had originally entered their encirclement saw the explosion and immediately evacuated the dock, and the police cars also roared away.

'Is there a bomber committing a crime nearby?'

The man who was observing secretly looked at the fire in the distance and felt a little strange.

But if you think about it carefully, your mission has been accomplished, so there is no need to continue observing here.

Thinking of this, he turned around and prepared to meet up with his companions.

Walking past a container, he found that one of his companions was leaning against the wall of the container with his forehead against the container, which looked a bit strange.

"George? What are you doing..."

He noticed something strange happening to his classmate and was about to hurry over to see what was going on.

But unexpectedly, the next moment, a bullet flew out of his mouth and hit the concrete ground in front of him.

At the same time, a small hole as thick as a finger appeared on the back of his head.

When he was still four or five meters away from his companions, his body finally fell straight to the ground and he died instantly.

……

Jinpei Matsuda, who was already far away from the dock, glanced at the rearview mirror with a sense of meaning.

He drove his car silently, following the other police cars. After a long time, he sighed softly.

Tonight is destined to be a busy night.

He had just felt the location of the explosion when his cell phone showed a call from Inspector Megure.

Matsuda Jinpei looked at the flames that had basically died down naturally, breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the phone:
"Officer Megure, what's going on?"

"How's it going over there? Have you found any more traces of the bomb?" Inspector Megure spoke quickly and sounded a little anxious.

"…It has exploded." Jinpei Matsuda glanced at the charred warehouse.

"It's already exploded!?" Officer Megure's voice suddenly rose, "What about casualties? No one was injured, right?"

While directing the police officers to disperse, Matsuda Jinpei said, "Ah, it seems no one is injured at the moment... but a passerby was a little scared when he heard the explosion."

"Is that so... Then you should take care of things over there first..."

"What's wrong, Officer Megure?"

"The criminal sent me a letter saying that bombs were planted in Bunkyo, Nerima, and Shibuya..."

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes flashed, "I see, I'll rush over as soon as I finish dealing with things here."
