Vermouth, you can't escape this time.

He tolerated the process of 'confirmation'.

...

Teitan Junior High School.

Judy couldn't help but drift into a daze.

Vermouth has finally reappeared.

The image of my father being murdered by the other party during my childhood resurfaced in my mind.

The appearance of that girl named Ai Haibara some time ago made her realize that there was no point in continuing to hide.

So, after discussing it with her colleagues, she submitted her resignation to the school. In a few days, she will completely lose her status as a teacher.

Chapter 403 The Storm is Temporarily Calm

"Teacher, teacher, Ms. Judy?"

Upon hearing her own name, Judy snapped out of her reverie.

"You look very tired. Are you alright? You're a foreign teacher, so you probably won't be able to handle the kids here. But don't worry too much about it."

“No, no,” Judy laughed. “Everyone is a good student.”

Then, looking dejected, she said, "I'm just a little sad because I'm about to leave."

After composing herself, Class 2B of Grade 11 learned that she was going to leave.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki, who had just returned to school and attended a few classes, were both shocked.

It's fortunate they came back to class, otherwise they probably wouldn't even know that Ms. Judy was leaving.

However, this news was still a bit too sudden.

The two women exchanged a glance and quickly came up with a plan.

After school, Ran and her sister approached their teacher, Jodie, and asked to go out for one last time together.

This stroll led to a case.

...

Dr. A Li's house.

Conan and Ai Haibara get out of school earlier.

At this moment, Conan was looking out the window with a serious expression.

It's the same people.

Although they didn't follow me to school today, they came again after school.

I arrived at school late this time because I had taken leave.

But being watched again after leaving school means that he and Ai Haibara had only been back in Tokyo for a short time before their whereabouts were once again known.

Furthermore, they were not followed or tracked when they left Tokyo.

It's hard for Conan not to associate those people with Yusuke Suzuki.

Those people's behavior and protection were very similar, and perfectly met the needs of my friends.

If it's for protection...

It's likely that the organization put pressure on Yusuke Suzuki, forcing him to instruct his subordinates to do this.

So, who is the Black Organization targeting this time?

Is it himself or Ai Haibara?

Or perhaps both of them were involved?

Speaking of which, when my mom took them to see the Kamen Rider preview, there was another group of people following them.

Which side are those people on?

There's also Ms. Judy and the man in the knitted hat who looks like an FBI agent.

Conan meticulously organized the clues in his mind, one by one.

"Shinichi, did you tell Ran that you've been staying at my place for the past few days?"

Just then, Professor Agasa came over with coffee. Cleaning the room had almost broken his old bones. Although Shinichi and Ai had helped, they were still just two kids.

When it comes to being considerate of others, Yusuke is the best.

The young man preferred to sleep on the sofa rather than bother him to tidy up the room.

Wait, why didn't Yusuke clean it up himself?

Suddenly, Professor Agasa's brain seemed to freeze, and he didn't quite hear Conan's words, asking in a daze, "What did you just say?"

"I told you I already called Ran," Conan said, exasperated. "Please don't get distracted when you're talking to other people, okay?"

"Sorry, sorry," Professor Agasa chuckled sheepishly, then quickly became serious again. "Shinichi, is something bad about to happen this time?"

“I feel there are more and more suspicious people around us, and I have a feeling that something big is going to happen soon.”

"Which organization is it!?"

"It's pretty much a done deal," Conan said casually. "By the way, where's Ai Haibara?"

"She went to take a shower, saying she was sweating a lot while cleaning the room."

Dr. Agasa took a sip of coffee. "The weather is getting cooler now, and I'm really worried that she might catch a cold again."

"Don't worry, she'll take good care of herself now, after all, someone has given her newfound strength."

"You...you knew all this?" Professor Agasa was a little surprised and paused instinctively.

"Of course, after thinking things through, the interaction between the two of them just doesn't seem right."

After Conan finished speaking, he peeked into the bathroom and, confirming that Ai Haibara hadn't come out yet, he adopted a scrutinizing attitude. "Then, Doctor, why did you also join them in keeping this from me?"

"That's because..."

"Well, it's not important anyway, it's not a big deal," Conan said, his expression returning to normal. "I'm still very happy that Haibara has become like this, much better than she was at the beginning."

"Yes," Professor Agasa said after a moment's reflection, somewhat wistfully, "So this time you'll be bringing......"

"will not."

Conan interrupted directly, saying, "I'm still worried that Haibara might run into trouble when facing that organization, so I'd better do it myself."

"Then why don't we contact Yusuke?"

"Not for now," Conan said seriously. "We haven't really told him his true identity yet, have we?"

"If my predictions are wrong, it would be inappropriate to drag him into this mess."

Meanwhile, Conan muttered to himself.

If things were really as he thought, then Suzuki Yusuke wouldn't have needed him to actively pull him in.

Moreover, it's still unknown what methods that organization will use. Even if we want to involve our allies, that will have to wait until we're discussing countermeasures.

Conan looked at the professor and comforted him, "Anyway, things are calm for now. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

"What's truly terrifying is the calm before the storm."

Upon hearing the sound, Conan and Professor Agasa both turned their heads.

"Haibara... Haibara, when did you get here?"

"Just now."

Ai Haibara dried her hair with a towel, looking impatient. "What are you two secretly plotting again?"

"Are you thinking about when would be a good time to go boating?" Conan reacted quickly. "I just saw in the newspaper that a boat will be holding a Halloween event in a few days."

"They said everyone who goes there will dress up as ghosts and monsters, that sounds pretty interesting... haha... haha..."

Professor Agasa nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes."

Even though Ai Haibara's face clearly showed disbelief, it didn't matter. As long as Conan and Professor Agasa could convince them to believe it, that would be enough.

After giving a perfunctory answer, Ai Haibara sat down and took a sip of hot tea. "I don't know what you're plotting, but I know it's definitely related to that organization again."

She stared at Conan and said, word by word, "But I still have to warn you, one wrong move and you could die."

Conan remained silent.

In any case, he absolutely could not ignore that organization.

Besides, he had already long ago come to terms with the implications of life and death.

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Let's think about where to go for winter break."

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara's expression couldn't stay composed any longer. She gave Conan a disgruntled look and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Chapter 404 I'm afraid tomorrow will be the weekend.

Ran Mouri and her friends encountered a theft case, not a murder case.

All of them were people with an overwhelming sense of justice, and since this matter concerned their classmate's reputation, it was even more impossible for them to stay out of it.

After some investigation, Ran Mouri had her own reasoning, but she didn't dare to say it aloud.

Just as his classmate was about to be unjustly fired by his boss, Conan received a phone call.

In the identity of Shinichi Kudo.

After encouraging Ran Mouri to give her reasoning, Conan returned to the main topic.

Have you been to my house recently?

After receiving the reply, he hung up the phone and looked in the direction of his home.

He suddenly noticed through the window that there were signs of someone entering and leaving his front door, and immediately thought of the four listening devices he and Suzuki Yusuke had found here last time.

Calling Xiaolan was just to rule out some possibilities; he still needed to go back to his own home to check later.
