He's in Detective Conan, and he's the mastermind behind everything.

Now, by a twist of fate, I have become the person at the center of an emotional vortex.

But let's stop here.

Having a reassuring day with Cool Guy is enough.

Where could one possibly ask for more?

Seeing the unwavering determination in Vermouth's bright eyes, Sonoko Suzuki's own eyes gradually filled with emotion. She gripped Vermouth's hand tightly, her voice trembling with emotion:

"Good sisters!"

"..."

Vermouth smiled politely: "So, Sonoko, what do you think I should do?"

"Of course! It is..."

Sonoko almost said "leave," but then paused, recalling what Ran had told her the night before: Kiyoko Yukimatsu probably truly loves Shinichi Kudo...

She hesitated for two seconds: "Can I ask why? What are your thoughts about Shinichi...?"

"He's a really good guy."

Vermouth's gaze drifted into the distance, as if she were seeing New York a year ago, when she disguised herself as a silver-haired serial killer, accidentally fell from a building, and was saved at the last second by two high school students she had just threatened with a gun.

What did he say at the time?

—Killing may require a motive, but saving someone in a moment of desperation doesn't need a reason, right?

She will remember those words forever.

The tenderness in Vermouth's eyes was clearly reflected in Sonoko's eyes, making her realize in a daze that what Ran said last night was true.

What is she doing now?

As an inexplicably malicious bystander, should I break up this loving couple?

Sonoko suddenly felt uneasy, but then Vermouth finally smiled faintly:

"He's a good person, but we're not a good match."

Sonoko felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders and quickly asked:

"why?"

"There's no reason why people are incompatible."

“But your relationship with him…” Sonoko gritted her teeth, “Ran and Hotaru both said it’s very harmonious, that you two are attracted to each other and are a perfect match!”

At this moment, Sonoko almost abandoned her initial stance.

After all, her previous analysis of Xiaolan's emotional journey...

After all, that look Vermouth gave me just now...

She felt she had to get it all out!

"Puch-"

Vermouth covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at Sonoko Suzuki, whose face was full of anxiety, probably not even knowing what answer she wanted. She couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Young, innocent high school students are really quite cute.

This smile, while possessing a completely different temperament from Kiyoko Yukimatsu's own aloof and resolute nature, was not inferior to her in any way. However, the gentle curves of her eyes added a touch of alluring charm to her mature and sophisticated demeanor.

Sonoko Suzuki was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

She was a little embarrassed and annoyed a second ago, thinking, "I'm serious, you need to be serious!"

The next second, I felt as if a different person had suddenly appeared in front of me.

Although his facial features and eyebrows were the same as before, his temperament was completely different.

This change in temperament...

It gave Sonoko Suzuki a strange sense of familiarity.

She subconsciously thought she couldn't remember it for the time being and was about to put the question out of her mind, but almost in an instant, she knew where she had seen this change before.

Fireflies emerge from the water and the moon!

In Sonoko Suzuki's eyes, Kiyoko Yukimatsu's image suddenly overlapped with Hotaru Mizuki's.

What these two people present to the world is by no means their complete self, but merely...

Through the Looking Glass!

In an instant, Sonoko Suzuki's body stiffened, and Vermouth, who was holding her hand, naturally felt it immediately.

"Oh dear, you've already realized it?"

Vermouth smiled knowingly: "It seems you're quite familiar with this feeling. Considering you called Mizuki a scumbag before, what, you dated her?"

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes were filled with shock, and she remained silent, while Vermouth...

He gently tickled her palm.

"ah!"

Sonoko Suzuki gasped, quickly withdrawing her hand. Her face flushed red, then gradually turned to terror.

"You... Kiyoko, you... you actually..."

"That's right, I'm actually quite wicked by nature."

Vermouth interrupted the stammering high school student: "Kudo-kun, Ran, and Suigetsu all know about this, and yet they still believe that I am sincere towards Kudo-kun. I am truly honored by their kindness."

Sonoko Suzuki gritted her teeth: "So, you're actually just faking it, like that guy, Hotaru Mizuki?"

"Who knows? Weren't you hesitant about the relationship between Mizuki and Ran just now?" Vermouth smiled and said, "Anyway, I think what you said before makes a lot of sense."

Kudo-kun is a great guy, but we're not a good match.

Xiaolan is a good girl, but Shuiyue and she are not a good match.

In my opinion, Kudo-kun and Ran are the most suitable people for each other, while Mizuki-kun and I... well, we seem to be similar. Maybe we'll try to get to know each other better; perhaps we'll hit it off.

"!!!"

Sonoko Suzuki looked shocked and kept shrinking back, causing the chair to creak.

She's just an innocent high school girl who wants a sweet romance. Her previous encounter with Mizuki Hotaru had already broken her heart, and now the same scenario is playing out again with Vermouth, even more thrilling than before...

She had never seen anything like this before!

She wanted to yell: What do you guys think of relationships?! Are you playing a game of permutations and combinations?!

But I dare not.

Seeing Vermouth's alluring and seductive eyes, she was a little worried. This guy was probably a heartbreaker for both men and women, so she had to stay away from him!

"Don't worry, little cutie, I'm not interested in you for now," Vermouth said softly.

"!!!!!!"

Sonoko Suzuki jumped up, her eyes filled with terror, almost screaming for help.

The attention of everyone else in the store was also drawn, with the most enthusiastic being the blond-haired, black-skinned waiter, who quickly walked over there.

Amuro Tooru had been walking around the store, listening to Vermouth and Sonoko Suzuki's conversation in fits and starts, and had long wanted to get closer to them.

He noticed that Sonoko Suzuki had been secretly watching him, and she might have some attraction to good-looking people. If he went over and asked if he needed help, and showed some concern, he might be able to get her contact information and subtly investigate Kiyoko Yukimatsu through her!

however,

Things seemed to be developing even more smoothly than he had imagined.

Amuro Tooru had just walked up to Suzuki Sonoko and hadn't even spoken when he heard two "tap tap" sounds.

He turned around and saw Kiyoko Yukimatsu's pink fingernails gently tapping on the table.

Vermouth rested her cheek on her right hand, tilted her head to look at Amuro Tooru, and a playful smile appeared on her lips:

"Sir, were you spying on me the whole time?"

"!!!"

Chapter 143 Kudo arrives, Amuro Tooru, the little blondie!

A flicker of surprise crossed Amuro Tooru's eyes, but remembering that the information already stated that Yukimatsu Kiyoko was inherently wicked and adept at manipulating men, he put on a polite smile:

"Because you are very beautiful, Miss."

"Thank you, sir. You're very handsome too. Are you mixed race?" Vermouth smiled.

She had been curious about this question before, but it wasn't appropriate for her to ask as Vermouth. Now, as Kiyoko Yukimatsu, it was just right.

My father is British.

Amuro Tooru answered politely, but it's unclear whether he was telling the truth.

Vermouth didn't seem to care: "Sir, how much of our conversation did you overhear? Did you hear about Sonoko's troubles? A high school student has developed feelings for me, and we want him to go back to his childhood friend."

Amuro Tooru's heart skipped a beat: "Now that I understand, is there anything I can do to help?"

Vermouth smiled alluringly, her red lips parting slightly:

"I want you."

"!!!"

Sonoko Suzuki's brain went completely blank on the spot!

"........."

Amuro Tooru was speechless for a moment. Are high school students these days so open-minded?

However, he knew that Vermouth didn't mean that at all, and shook his head, saying, "You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend so that the high school student will back down?"

"Bingo, is that okay, handsome?"

Vermouth blinked her left eye slightly, a wink from the mature woman.

Amuro Tooru's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to turn his head away, but before the thought could turn into action, he had already smiled and spoken:
