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

Chapter 684 Peaceful Rice Flower (Additional Chapter 3)

"what--!!!"

A shrill scream broke the afternoon tranquility of Beika Town.

Conan was very depressed.

He had just assisted in solving a case, why was he here again right after dinner?
Looking at the commotion of the crowd, Conan no longer wanted to solve the case, but his damned honest body kept dragging his already lazy feet.

This is a commercial street located between Beika-cho 2-chome and 3-chome.

If you want to know why Conan is here, the answer is very simple: after meeting with Shuichi Akai and the others, he received a call from the doctor, and heard that Haibara Ai was not in a good state today, so he wanted to rush back. But he happened to encounter a case and was delayed...

After solving the case, he was hungry, so he thought about having lunch before going to Dr. Agasa's house.

Who knew that I would run into something after I had just finished my meal...

In addition to Conan, the equally depressed ones include Gin, who just went out for a stroll and was about to visit Kaito, a little boy who was said to have been scolded badly by his father, and Vermouth.

"Did you hear that, Vermouth?"

Gin, who was wearing plain clothes and preparing to take the train, pointed to the front and said, "Guess what's happening up ahead?"

As soon as he asked the question, a suspicious man in a black windbreaker and helmet jumped out of the crowd and ran away, but not many people noticed him.

Vermouth was holding a cup of milk tea she had just bought from the nearby cafe. She took a sip of pearls and chewed them with her cheeks puffed out. "Car accident? Robbery? Or rape—Pfft!"

Suddenly, a big hand grabbed the milk tea cup before she could react, and pushed the straw into Vermouth's mouth, almost causing a mouthful of milk to spit out.

Vermouth was so frightened that she almost covered Gin's head with milk tea.

"Gin!"

The voice was almost squeezed out from between teeth, full of gritted teeth, "What are you doing?!"

"Nothing." Gin said seriously, "It's just that if you say it, those two words will be banned, so I just told you not to say it."

Vermouth suppressed her anger and said, "Next time you can try another way to make me shut up!"

I don't know who Gin learned this behavior from, he wasn't this outrageous before...

Just now she almost thought she would be stabbed to death by the plastic straw!
...Tsk, it seems I can’t use a straw anymore.

Vermouth covered her mouth and thought.

Gin suddenly became concerned about the commotion ahead, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully for a while, then looked disappointed: "Tsk, it's not a murder case..."

"...How much malice do you have towards this city? You feel uncomfortable if there is no murder in a day, right?" Vermouth complained.

Who would have thought that Gin actually nodded seriously: "Yes, that's right. If there is no case in this place one day, it must be abnormal... Also, isn't the car accident robbery you mentioned considered malicious?"

Vermouth's eyes twitched, and she glared at Gin fiercely, deciding not to argue with him about this issue anymore.

"Okay, even if there is a murder, it has nothing to do with us. You don't want to be noticed by the police, right?" She urged Gin to hurry up.

Originally, Gin didn't intend to take her with him when he went out, but she was aroused by the plan that Gin had been holding back on, so she decided to follow Gin while she had nothing to do and see what he was doing...

What can Gin do?

He was just bored, relying on his airman characteristics to walk around, and by the way, he went to visit a certain thief. He hadn't done anything wrong, and there was no reason for him to hide from Vermouth. If she wanted to follow, then let her follow.

but……

“Is there someone you’re interested in over there? Don’t you want to go check it out?” Gin looked at Vermouth with a half-smile, and pointed towards the place where the commotion had happened before. “There’s a kid who likes reasoning games. I can hear his voice…”

Having said that, she didn't give Vermouth time to react, and she took the lead to find the gap in the crowd.

Vermouth was stunned. Gin's figure had disappeared from her sight. She cursed him inwardly and had no choice but to squeeze into the crowd.

But soon, Vermouth regretted it——

She suddenly remembered that she forgot to disguise herself when she went out today... Although she was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses to cover up, her obvious white skin and golden hair still attracted many people's attention.

"Hey! The person in front, stop!"

A police officer suddenly rushed out from the crowd, staggered a bit, but still tried desperately to run in the direction of the suspicious man in the windbreaker - obviously, the person who caused the commotion before was most likely the man in the windbreaker and helmet.

"Is this really a robbery?" Vermouth was speechless.

The police in Tokyo are too difficult and too useless...

With so many cases, shouldn't it be a great place to improve performance? But basically, most of the major cases are not solved by the police, especially those published in newspapers, making the citizens familiar with a person's name...

Yes, that's right, it's the 'Sleeping Kogoro'.

But in fact, behind this celebrity, there is another person——

"Hey, hey! Uncle, what happened here just now?"

The childish voice brought Vermouth back to her senses.

It turned out that she had unknowingly followed the crowd and walked forward for a distance, and came to the birthplace of "evil":

At the door of a convenience store, there stood a gloomy-looking man and a female clerk, both of whom appeared to be employees of the convenience store;

The person who asked them the question was an elementary school student who was only as tall as their knees and wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

Conan!

It's her little cool baby!

The moment she saw Conan, Vermouth subconsciously wanted to find a shelter to hide, but then she remembered that she had not done anything bad, so why should she hide?

No one has stipulated that criminal gangs cannot go out shopping in broad daylight!
Thinking of this, Vermouth immediately gained the confidence to stay calm. She went straight to the shop next door and began to monitor Conan openly, while at the same time she was looking for the missing Gin out of the corner of her eye.

I don't know where this elusive guy has gone...

"Forget it, let's just wait and see how coolguy solves the case."
If my estimation is correct, Gin was probably hiding somewhere and spying at this time, otherwise there would be no need for him to run here in such high spirits just now.

Vermouth just watched quietly as Conan communicated with the people who were suspected to be the two store clerks.

There were some people nearby who had just witnessed the incident and were whispering to each other, so Vermouth got a general idea of ​​what had happened - just as she thought, a robbery had just occurred here, and the convenience store happened to be the victim of the robbery.

However, the screams of the store clerk when the store was robbed were so eye-catching that most passers-by only paid attention to the situation in the store, but no one paid attention to what the robber looked like...
