"Keep it up..."

As soon as they arrived at Professor Agasa's house, Ai Haibara opened the door to greet them.

Asuka didn't want to wait even a second longer, and immediately darted out and pounced into the little girl's arms.

“You might as well raise this guy,” Yusuke Suzuki said speechlessly as he got out of the car. “She clearly prefers you.”

"You're not jealous, are you?"

"I do not have."

...

Once inside, it felt a little strange not seeing Professor Agasa's kind and adorable face.

"Is this for me?"

Yusuke Suzuki pointed to the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) on the table and asked.

"Yes, I've already eaten it, and it should taste about the same as what you made."

Ai Haibara hugged Asuka and couldn't stop stroking her.

I tried one, and it really tasted good. Suzuki Yusuke ate them one after another, and soon finished off both steamers of buns.

"Eat slowly," Ai Haibara said, taking a moment to bring over a cup of soy milk. "No one's going to take it from you."

"Because it's just so delicious."

Ai Haibara: "......"

Even though she knew it was just something he said to make her happy, she was genuinely happy!

Yusuke Suzuki knew he had the little girl under his thumb once again just by looking at her expression, but he still needed to come up with something new.

It's the weekend, so there should be a case happening today. Why didn't the clueless detective even make a phone call?

Have the feelings faded?

It shouldn't be...

I think I should just give them a call and ask.

"Yusuke? Is something the matter?"

"Teacher, have you had any requests lately?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Lately, hardly anyone has come to see this famous detective. But I won the grand prize yesterday."

"A grand prize?"

"Yes, yes, but there were limited spots, so I took Ran and Conan with me. I'll bring you next time if I have the chance."

"It's alright, teacher. Have fun!"

After hanging up the phone, Yusuke Suzuki glanced out the window. Another person was about to die.

So, what should we do with Ai Haibara today?

Treat it like you're taking care of a child; the other person is actually an adult.

Try to treat each other like adults, but the other person happens to be a child.

At that moment, Yusuke Suzuki's phone vibrated in his hand.

There is an email...

Is it a qin bar?

Just as he was about to raise his hand to look, Ai Haibara sat down next to him.

Today, the other person was wearing a light pink jacket over a pure white T-shirt with a bear print, and a matching white skirt.

She looked fresh and radiant, and the bird she was holding in her arms gave her an intoxicating sense of tranquility.

"You seem to care a lot about that email, but you haven't checked it. It must be from the organization, right?"

Ai Haibara looked up and gently stroked the bird's back with her small hand.

"Ah."

Yusuke Suzuki responded softly, then checked his emails.

【Beihu, 3-chome, 47. —Gin】

"Gin!?"

Ai Haibara, who couldn't resist peeking, was immediately stunned.

"Relax," Yusuke Suzuki put his arm around Ai Haibara's shoulder to comfort her. "They gave us the location directly, so it seems I have to go."

Ai Haibara's expression was solemn, and all the words she wanted to say were hidden in her eyes.

Yusuke Suzuki read it aloud.

Please don't go, okay?

"I'm sorry, Shiho, I'll have to leave Asuka in your care today."

After saying that, Suzuki Yusuke stood up, grabbed his black coat and put it on, turned back and gave Haibara Ai a slight smile, then left.

Ai Haibara's gaze remained fixed on Yusuke Suzuki's back, from the doorway to the window, until the familiar sound of the engine rang out, at which point she somewhat dazedly looked away.

"Asuka, am I being too nervous...?"

After leaving Professor Agasa's house, Yusuke Suzuki first went back to the apartment to park, and then disguised himself and came out.

When he arrived at the designated place, the black Porsche 356A was parked on the side of the street. Only when he got there did he realize that this was where Xu Chengfeng lived.

This kid probably went to fight Gin... and got caught up with him, so now he's asking his boss to settle things?

Back then, Xu Chengfeng also came straight to fight his boss without saying a word...

What to do? This speculation is clearly outrageous, yet now he feels that it might be the truth.

Headache!

Go directly upstairs.

Vodka opened the door, and Gin was already pointing a gun at Xu Chengfeng inside.

"Gin, it's just a friendly spar, isn't that a bit unnecessary?"

Yusuke Suzuki stepped forward to help Xu Chengfeng out of his predicament, trying to ease the tension.

"A friendly spar?" Gin sneered. "It seems you don't know what he did. I think it's necessary to tell that gentleman that you're not good at managing your subordinates."

Not a fight?

Holy crap, what did this kid do to make Gin come to his door like that?

Betraying the organization?

This is a bit too passive... Suzuki Yusuke thought quickly. Xu Chengfeng was someone that gentleman had arranged for him, so he should be a 'trustworthy' member of the organization.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that this guy is also an undercover agent, but there's no reason for him to give himself away so quickly.

Besides, if an undercover agent were truly discovered, would Gin even need to notify him? He could just shoot him twice and be done with it, right?

So there should still be a chance for things to turn around. The most urgent task is to find out exactly what Xu Chengfeng did.

"Why don't you tell me about his deeds?"

Yusuke Suzuki looked relaxed as he sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"I did not betray the organization."

Xu Chengfeng, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke up, "Gin, that woman tricked me into going there!"

"Heh, so what?" Gin sneered. "But thank you anyway, for letting me find that guy's trail."

After saying that, Gin fired three shots in quick succession, the bullets blooming into blood flowers on Xu Chengfeng's chest.

"Vodka, let's go."

"Big brother..."

Vodka glanced at Suzuki Yusuke, as if he wanted to say something, but Gin stopped him with a look.

As the door closed, the cigarette between Yusuke Suzuki's fingers burned out.

He walked up to Xu Chengfeng, whose eyes were already unfocused, his breathing was rapid, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Who is the woman you're talking about?

“Ju...Ju...Die”.

The last word was almost inaudible, but Yusuke Suzuki still heard it clearly.

Judy?

It's probably Vermouth.

Chapter 154 Suzuki Yusuke: I rarely kill or commit arson

Only after Xu Chengfeng had completely passed away did Suzuki Yusuke leave the house.

This time, it's clear that Gin had already decided to kill Xu Chengfeng, and perhaps even received the approval of that gentleman.

Calling him over specifically is probably still a warning.

Perhaps at first the gentleman did intend to assign him some capable people so that he could set up the platform.

Whether it's true or a setup, since Xu Chengfeng has been caught red-handed, eliminating him would be a deterrent. After all, even a veteran like Pisco was eliminated without hesitation.

In reality, Xu Chengfeng wasn't that important to Suzuki Yusuke; it was just that the term "fellow townsman" gave him a slight advantage.

The important thing now is to carefully unravel the hidden information behind it.

For some reason, he almost instinctively thought of Vermouth.

He didn't believe that Xu Chengfeng had contact with Judy herself.

There wasn't even a prerequisite for contact between the two. The FBI itself is already facing difficulties, having to both investigate the organization and guard against the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

What makes Xu Chengfeng stand out to the FBI? He's not high-profile at all, and he hasn't even participated in any operations since arriving in Japan.
