Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Ai Haibara, who was standing to the side, also stopped and quietly watched Ryunosuke and the other two, a smile playing on her lips. She thought to herself, "Yeah~ their eyes are exactly the same as yours right now..."

Thinking of this, she looked up at the sky, her face full of tenderness.

"It's such a dreamlike life... I have to thank you all for it. I really hope this kind of life can continue forever..."

Chapter 156 Beware of guys who speak English in everyday life

Beika Town

A car turned into a dimly lit alley.

Shortly after, a blonde woman wearing glasses walked into the alley.

Upon seeing the woman, a burly foreign man stepped out of the car.

"How's it going, Judy? Are you all ready?"

"Yes, I'm going to work tomorrow."

"By the way, was the intelligence accurate? Is that guy really active in this area?"

"Yes. Although we don't know the specific reason, our intelligence agents have indeed seen her around Mika multiple times. I became a teacher to investigate this matter."

"Alright, Mr. Akai will be coming over soon. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything."

"I understand. Don't worry, Camel, I'll be going now."

After speaking, the blonde woman tightened her coat collar and walked out of the burly man's sight.

Watching the woman's figure disappear from sight, Carmel sat back in the car, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and muttered, "This time, I will not make a mistake again! Mr. Akai... I will definitely catch Gin!"

……

Teitan High School, 2nd Year, Class B

The students were all sitting upright at their desks, looking curiously towards the classroom door, seemingly very curious about the person who was about to enter.

Last week they were informed that the English teacher would be unable to continue teaching activities in the near future due to illness.

Therefore, during this period, a new English teacher will take over this job.

According to reliable sources, the teacher who took over the job doesn't seem to be one of the original teachers at the school.

Therefore, everyone was very curious about the upcoming English teacher.

"Ran, Ryuno, do you think this teacher is a man or a woman?!" Sonoko glanced around before turning to look at Ryuno and Ran.

Seeing how excited Sonoko was, Ran covered her mouth and laughed: "I think it's fine~ Anyway, our English teacher will be back after she recovers."

"Tch~ Ryūno, what do you think? Guess if it's a male or female teacher? If you guess wrong, you have to treat Ran and me to cake after school!"

Upon hearing this, Longye and Xiaolan exchanged a glance and laughed: "Just say you want cake, why be so secretive? Whether I'm right or not, I'll treat you!"

At this point, Longye changed the subject: "However... I guess it's a female teacher. Maybe even a foreigner~"

After hearing what Ryūno said, Sonoko's mouth dropped open, and she laughed triumphantly, "It doesn't matter~ Anyway, Ran and I can eat cake! Hahaha!"

Just then, the classroom door was opened.

A woman wearing glasses and with short blonde hair walked into the classroom carrying a book.

A moment later, the woman placed the book on the lectern, picked up a piece of chalk, and turned to write on the blackboard.

After finishing writing, the woman turned around with a smile: "Hello everyone~ Starting today, I will be temporarily taking over as your class's English teacher. Please bear with me~"

The woman's accent was slightly broken, but everyone still understood what she was saying.

The classroom was instantly filled with enthusiastic cheers and discussions.

On the blackboard, a name was written: "Judy Saint-Temilion".

Seeing this, Ran and Sonoko both looked at Ryuno with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Surprisingly, Longye actually guessed right!

Their new English teacher was actually a foreign woman!

Longye gave "Teacher Judy" a deep look, his expression thoughtful.

If I remember correctly, the reason Jodie came to Teitan High School to infiltrate was to find out the true purpose of "Vermouth".

So... Vermouth has already arrived in Beika? And it's even possible that, like in the original story, she's disguised as someone like Dr. Araide?

What exactly is her goal...?

……

After school

Ryūno and Rin sat in a newly opened cake shop nearby.

Looking at the gardener enjoying his meal, Longye narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, Sonoko is the most down-to-earth "young lady" he has ever met.

Putting everything else aside, the way they ate was so pathetic it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it.

In comparison, Xiaolan was clearly eating much more elegantly.

The next moment, seeing that Xiaolan had accidentally gotten some cream on her face, Longye immediately stretched out a finger and scraped it off.

"Hmm~ The cream here is really good quality, it has just the right amount of sweetness and smoothness~"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan glanced at Yuanzi beside her, her face slightly flushed.

Seeing that Sonoko didn't seem to have noticed what had just happened, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating her cake.

Just then, Sonoko swallowed the cake in her mouth, squinted, and said, "Really? I think it's a bit too sweet~ especially eating cake next to you guys!!"

Hearing Sonoko's teasing, Ryūno couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiaolan blushed instantly and lowered her head.

However, Sonoko didn't dwell on that too much, but instead started talking about the new English teacher who had arrived that day.

"Hey, what do you guys think of our new teacher, Judy? I think her teaching style is really unique—she's definitely a true foreigner!"

Xiaolan nodded: "Yes! I also think this way of teaching is great. But for some reason, this teacher Judy gives me a mysterious feeling."

After listening to Ran's opinion, Sonoko looked at Ryuno: "What do you think?"

Longye was about to speak when he suddenly sensed a presence nearby, smiled, and remained silent.

"Longye, what's wrong?"

Just as Sonoko was wondering why Tatsuno hadn't answered, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"A secret makes a woman woman~"

Upon hearing this, Sonoko and Ran immediately turned their heads away.

Ms. Judy was standing behind them, smiling and nodding at them.

"I remember you are... Tatsuno, Ran, and Sonoko, right?"

"Ms. Judy?!" X2

"Excuse me for disturbing you. I came here to buy a cake and happened to overhear your conversation."

"it's okay no problem!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi quickly made room for the teacher and let her sit down.

Looking at the three people in front of her, Ms. Judy smiled and said, "Do you know what I meant by that last sentence?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Sonoko scratched her head sheepishly. She had been startled by the teacher's sudden appearance and had completely forgotten what the teacher had said before.

Although Xiaolan remembered what her teacher had said before, she felt as if she had heard those words somewhere before, and for a moment she was lost in memories.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Ms. Judy turned her gaze to Tatsuno.

Ryūno didn't answer, but instead smiled at Ms. Judy.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ms. Judy chuckled and said, "You all need to remember this~ It means that secrets make women more attractive~"

"Especially you two~ Ran-san and Sonoko-san..."

Chapter 157 Walking the World, All Titles

"If you want to become attractive women in the future, remember this!" Teacher Judy said with a smile, looking at the two women in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko immediately perked up.

"A secret? Does wearing sunglasses count as a secret?"

"Huh? Sunglasses? What sunglasses?"

Not only Ryūno and Ran, but even Jodie-sensei was "moved" by Sonoko's thought process and was stunned for a moment.

……

Soon after, amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Ryuno and his two friends said goodbye to Ms. Judy.

After everyone parted ways, Ms. Judy watched the backs of Ryuno and the other two and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

In their previous interactions, she had subtly analyzed the personalities and characteristics of Longye and the other two.

A girl named Xiaolan gives people a gentle, easy-going, and understanding feeling.

Sonoko, on the other hand, seems very easygoing and straightforward.

The only one she felt unsure about was the boy named Longye.

When she suddenly appeared, both Ran and Sonoko showed expressions of surprise.

He, however, seemed completely unsurprised by her sudden appearance.

The boy seemed to have Ran and Sonoko's deep trust.

He seemed very polite and gave off a very easygoing vibe.

But she always felt something was off; she always felt that beneath that gentle exterior, there seemed to be something unfathomable hidden.

But... it must be my imagination.

They're just innocent and adorable high school students~

Speaking of which, I've finally finished a long day of work... I should hurry over to the arcade and play some video games!
