Shiho Miyano has lived this kind of life since she was a child. She is a person who can endure boredom. In fact, in Jiang Hang's eyes, Shiho Miyano seemed to be in a pretty good mood at this moment, as if she was enjoying herself.

This is probably the difference between a poor student and a top student.

Jiang Hang muttered to himself.

"Have you always been like this?" Unable to bear the stifling atmosphere in the laboratory, Jiang Hang asked Shiho Miyano with some concern.

Upon hearing Jiang Hang's question, Shiho Miyano looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Hmm?"

"I asked you how long you spend in the lab each day. Don't you get bored?"

Shiho Miyano gently shook her head: "I usually work eight to twelve hours a day in the lab. If the experiment is at a critical point, I might stay up all night occasionally."

"As for being bored, you get used to it. I've grown up like this in the organization since I was a child. If I'm not in the lab one day, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Shiho Miyano pointed to the white lab coat she was wearing, seemingly indicating that it was the garment she wore most often.

"And although what I'm researching now isn't much different from what I was doing in the organization, at least now I'm researching the materials my parents left me based on my own will."

"Thanks to you for retrieving all the drug data from the organization, otherwise it might have taken me several years to recreate the drug on my own." As she said this, Shiho Miyano suddenly expressed her gratitude to Jiang Hang.

Jiang Hang waved his hand. He wasn't happy about Shiho Miyano's thanks. Instead, he felt the weight that this girl, who was a few years younger than him, carried.

In the anime, perhaps because her body shrank and she spent every day at school with a group of six- or seven-year-old children, Ai Haibara's personality gradually became much more cheerful after leaving the organization and being influenced by her surroundings.

But now, Shiho Miyano's body hasn't shrunk, and she no longer needs to go out and communicate with others; her life is almost entirely confined to the laboratory.

If this continues, Jiang Hang is genuinely worried that Shiho Miyano might develop some kind of health problems from being so bored.

"You should go out more often. Your sister's disguise skills are now quite advanced. As long as you are careful, she will not be easily discovered. You can ask your sister to help you with disguises in the future."

Jiang Hang suggested, "Wouldn't it be nice to go on a picnic with Professor Agasa and Conan, those young Detective Boys who are always up to their own good, or maybe visit my two photography studios?"

However, it seems that Shiho Miyano was not impressed by what Jiang Hang said. She had turned around to talk to Jiang Hang face to face, but after Jiang Hang told her to go out more, she replied, "I think it's fine now. I'll contact my sister when I want to go out." Then she turned around and continued to stare at the experimental equipment in front of her.

After a while, after recording another set of data, she suddenly stopped what she was doing.

"Is there something else? You've been checking the time ever since you started?"

Jiang Hang gave an awkward laugh after being suddenly told that by Shiho Miyano.

God knows how Shiho Miyano, who had her back to him the whole time, discovered this.

He had arranged to meet Vermouth at a certain time and place, and now the appointed time was fast approaching. Jiang Hang was still thinking about how to tell Shiho Miyano about this, but unexpectedly, Shiho Miyano spoke first.

"I've arranged to meet with an informant I developed some time ago, and I'm about to go see her."

Upon hearing the word "she," Shiho Miyano gave Jiang Hang a deep look, as if trying to discern something unusual on his face.

But of course, she couldn't discern anything from Jiang Hang's face, which was heavily disguised.

Chapter 336: Chapter 334: Shuichi Akai's First Appearance?

"We were supposed to work on the antidote together with Miyano, but she ended up not helping at all and just slipped away." Jiang Hang muttered to himself as he walked out of Professor Agasa's house.

Recalling the slightly disgusted look on Shiho Miyano's face when she left, Jiang Hang touched his chin.

"If this continues, will Miyano dislike me?"

But there's no use thinking about these things now. He has mobile games and events to grind for these next few days. Once he's done grinding, Professor Agasa's enthusiasm for the Animus device will probably wane a bit. Then he can call Conan over, import his genetic data into the Animus device, and then have him assist Shiho Miyano in developing the antidote.

Putting the antidote development aside for the time being, Jiang Hang had already arrived at a nearby train station.

Jiang Hang didn't know what was wrong with Vermouth. They had originally planned to meet at a bar in Beika Town, but just as Jiang Hang arrived near the bar, she suddenly sent an email saying that something had changed and they needed to change the meeting place.

Then she sent a bus route, telling Jiang Hang to take the bus first, and that she would board at a later stop, and they would decide on the specific destination later.

"What's the situation with this unexpected turn of events?" Jiang Hang pondered.

Jiang Hang had always been wary of Vermouth.

Although she always appears cautious and respectful when facing herself, as a talented Hollywood actress, only she knows what she is really thinking.

So after seeing the bus mentioned in Vermouth's email, Jiang Hang used Eagle Vision to scan it thoroughly, and only boarded the bus after confirming that there was nothing strange on it.

The bus journey was uneventful, and Vermouth finally boarded when it arrived at the bus stop at Mihana Park.

Just like the last time they met, Vermouth once again chose to disguise herself as the doctor, Araide Tomoaki. With Hawkeye's ability, he saw through Vermouth's disguise at a glance.

As soon as Vermouth got into the car, she gave Jiang Hang a wink, as if to tell him not to greet her.

Jiang Hang was still wondering what was going on, but the next moment, his eyes widened slightly.

Besides Vermouth, the woman radiating red light, two other figures, also glowing red, followed her onto the bus.

Jiang Hang was quite familiar with one of them.

Not long ago, he had met Judy Saint-Timirion, who had recently come to Japan because of her love for Japanese games and was currently working as an English teacher in Ran's class at Teitan High School.

According to Conan, the name Saint Timilion in the other person's name might have some connection with the winery.

Of course, this is just Conan's own speculation, and it has not been confirmed so far. It is not even clear whether this is the other party's real name.

In reality, if the other party hadn't been marked as a red figure in Hawkeye's view, Jiang Hang's impression of this teacher Judy would have been more focused on her impressive figure.

Besides Judy, another red figure is actually the one Jiang Hang truly cares about.

He was a man wearing a black knitted hat and a mask. He was probably over 1.8 meters tall. Because of the mask, judging from his exposed eyebrows and eyes, he was probably around 27 or 28 to 30 years old.

Almost as soon as Jiang Hang saw the image of this man, he immediately thought of the man's most likely identity.

The familiar dark knit hat, the man in his twenties or thirties, radiated a red glow in the eagle-eye view.

Isn't this Shuichi Akai, a major character in the later stages of Detective Conan and also Akemi Miyano's ex-boyfriend?

Jiang Hang's mind raced through the few theatrical versions he had seen and the information he had gathered from Akemi Miyano.

Shuichi Akai, an FBI investigator, approached Akemi Miyano five years ago using the name Dai Moroboshi. Through Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano's introduction, he successfully entered the distillery and, in just two or three years, obtained the distillery's code name, "Rye Whiskey".

However, when he was preparing to carry out his plan to capture Gin, his identity was exposed for some reason, so he left the distillery and disappeared without a trace.

According to Shiho Miyano's speculation, the other party must have returned to the United States and, with the help of the FBI, escaped the organization's pursuit.

However, even though Jiang Hang already knew of this person's existence, he didn't initially know why Shuichi Akai, an FBI agent, would suddenly come to Japan.

Only now, after seeing Vermouth, Judy, and himself all on the bus, did Jiang Hang finally understand.

If he's not mistaken, Jodie and Shuichi Akai are both FBI agents, and they probably came to Japan in pursuit of Vermouth.

Could it be that the change Vermouth mentioned in the email refers to this incident?

Judy, however, showed a hint of doubt in her eyes when she saw Jiang Hang after boarding the bus, but she quickly concealed it and feigned surprise.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, I never expected to run into you here. What a surprise!" She greeted Jiang Hang in a deliberately strange tone, half English and half Japanese.

During the greeting, she seemingly took the initiative to put her other arm around Vermouth's disguise as Araide Tomoaki.

Jiang Hang's face also showed a timely expression of surprise: "Teacher Judy, there's a new doctor?"

Jiang Hang had met the real Araide Tomoaki. It was after Vermouth disguised herself as Araide Tomoaki to give Conan a medical check-up when he had a cold. Because Shiho Miyano sensed that a member of the Black Organization was approaching her, he went to Araide Hospital and had a simple medical check-up there.

"Are you two on a date?" Even though he knew that Vermouth and Jodie were not people to be trifled with, Jiang Hang couldn't help but tease them.

"You really are a great detective! You figured it out at a glance. We were just about to go on a date to the Mihana Art Museum!" Judy replied without hesitation, with a smile on her face.

Chapter 337: Chapter 335: The Reward for a Moving Mission

"Mihua Art Museum?"

When Jiang Hang heard about the Mihana Art Museum from Judy, a subtle expression flashed across his face.

After all, there isn't another Beika Museum in Beika Town, and the bus route does indeed pass by the vicinity of the museum.

However, if they are really going to the Mihana Art Museum, something very interesting seems to be going to happen.

His gaze subtly shifted from Akai Shuichi, who had just passed by him and was now sitting at the back of the bus.

He didn't know the specifics of the relationship between Jodie and Shuichi Akai, but since Shuichi Akai, an FBI agent, had brought her to Japan to investigate Vermouth, their relationship must be quite good, and they might even have some kind of ambiguous relationship.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Akai's "ex-girlfriend" Akemi Miyano is still working at the Beika Art Museum.

If Jodie goes to the art museum with Vermouth now, wouldn't it be possible for them to meet Akemi Miyano directly?

Just as Jiang Hang had told Shiho Miyano before, after several months of hard work, Akemi Miyano's disguise skills were already quite good. Even Vermouth, who was also a master of disguise, would not easily see through her disguise. Therefore, Jiang Hang did not need to worry too much about Akemi Miyano being discovered by Vermouth.

Jiang Hang was worried that Miyano Akemi might reveal something when she saw her ex-boyfriend in front of her.

“That’s quite a coincidence. I was just about to go to the art museum too. We can go together on the way.” Jiang Hang smiled at Judy.

Judy was also somewhat surprised after hearing Jiang Hang's answer.

"Mr. Jiang Hang, are you going to the art museum too... alone?" She glanced around Jiang Hang and noticed that the seats next to him were still empty, so she couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Hang's lips twitched. Couldn't this woman speak properly? What's wrong with me going to my own company alone?

Vermouth, who was pretending to be a new genius, pulled her hand away from Judy's arms: "Mr. Jiang Hang is the owner of the Mihana Art Museum. He should have a job at the museum, right?"

"The owner of the art museum?" Judy feigned surprise. "Mr. Jiang Hang, aren't you a detective? When the incident happened at the arcade the other day, I noticed that the police seemed to listen to you quite a bit. Is being a detective just a side job for you?"

“No, being a detective is my main profession. The other businesses are just things I dabble in out of personal interest, and they’re nothing to worry about,” Jiang Hang waved his hand casually, then looked at Vermouth.

"Dr. Shinichi, how did you and Ms. Judy get together?"

The subtext of his words was that he was asking Vermouth what was going on, and why there were suddenly two people following them during their supposed secret meeting.

Vermouth then looked at Jiang Hang: "Ms. Judy is just a colleague of mine at Teitan High School. We just happened to meet near the platform and then happened to have the same destination."

It sounds like Vermouth noticed Judy following her when she was heading to the bar they had arranged to meet, which is why she changed the location at the last minute.

It seems he was overthinking things, being so wary of everything.

At this moment, Vermouth sat down in the empty seat next to Jiang Hang first, which made Judy feel somewhat helpless. She even did a performance for Vermouth, who was pretending to be Shinichi Masaaki: "Aren't you a bit too rigid?"

Vermouth responded with a polite smile to Judy.

From her appearance, Judy seemed to be a very enthusiastic woman who had just arrived in America, and you couldn't tell the hidden side of her at all.

Similarly, Vermouth's entire demeanor was a deliberate act.

Even though both of them harbored their own ulterior motives, as long as they didn't tear off their disguises, they were still able to discuss quite amicably what they wanted to see at the art museum later.

These women are all such good actresses. I wonder what will happen if Akemi Miyano comes to join the fun at the art museum.

Just as Jiang Hang was considering whether to send an email to Miyano Akemi to briefly mention this matter, he suddenly received another email in his inbox.
