“Okay…” Judy nodded, though she was a little puzzled, she still didn’t quite believe such an absurd claim. “Then monitoring Gachen…”

"No rush. Contact him after your identity is confirmed," Shuichi Akai said calmly.

It's not time for him to step forward yet... His identity is meant to deliver the final blow to the organization!

Chapter 276 Sherry: Her Own Mount

Jia Chen drove back to the apartment, unlocked the door with his key, and went inside.

The room lights were on, and a Japanese dinner was laid out on the table.

Beef rice bowl... rice ball, miso soup, fried pork cutlet and soft-boiled egg.

"Xiao Ai, are you in the bedroom?" Jia Chen took off his black coat and gently pushed the bedroom door.

The door wasn't locked; it opened with a gentle push.

Jia Chen was stunned when he saw the scene inside the room.

A young girl sat beside one of the luxurious large beds.

She had short, light brown hair, delicate features, and wore a white lab coat.

It was Sherry who had grown up.

"You're back?" Shirley sat on the edge of the bed and smiled slightly when she saw Jia Chen's appearance.

Jia Chen was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and ruffled Shirley's hair. "-Did you do an experiment today?"

Although her expression was somewhat calm, her eyes still held a mixture of doting and helplessness.

Shirley pouted and gave a soft snort, "It's all because of you..."

"Hmm, but it's better to wait for me to come back." Jia Chen's heart was beating a little faster, but his expression remained unchanged. "It's a bit dangerous for him to be alone."

It's just Ai alone... What if something suddenly goes wrong during the experiment?

"Okay, I know." Shirley felt a warmth in her heart, but... she wrinkled her nose and narrowed her eyes slightly, "But Mr. Jiachen... why are you back so late today? Were you on a mission?"

She smelled a foul odor.

Hmm... It has some high-end perfume scents, a mix of many brands, and a light fragrance, probably the scent of an innocent, naive girl.

"..." Looking at Shirley's faint smile, Jia Chen was once again transported back to the first time he met her, when she was so cold and indifferent.

Jia Chen explained the whole story with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Is what you said true?" Shirley was silent for a moment, her lips pressed tightly together as she looked at Jia Chen.

“Really.” Jia Chen sat down on the bed and sat next to Shirley.

Looking at her delicate face, which was filled with wariness, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

This is completely different from the cold, queen-like aura I first saw her in; this contrast makes Sulli exceptionally adorable.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about again?" Seeing that Shirley didn't speak, Jia Chen gently touched Shirley's shoulder.

“I…” Sherry paused for a moment.

She was just thinking... Although there is an antidote now, after a while, she will turn into a little girl again.

Is it possible that one day... Jia Chen will stop liking me?

Jia Chen turned his head and saw Xiao Ai's adorable, confused look... He couldn't help but reach out and rub Sherry's head.

"Hmph..." Jia Chen chuckled softly, "Don't overthink it."

"I wasn't thinking anything!" Shirley glared at Jia Chen with a cute yet fierce look, then said somewhat uneasily, "Jia Chen, what if the real antidote isn't found?"

"Don't worry," Jia Chen said seriously. "Even if it doesn't change back, we still live as usual, don't we?"

Upon hearing Jia Chen's words, Shirley couldn't help but recall how Jia Chen had played with her when she was small, and she blushed, pushing him away, "Pervert..."

"What are you thinking?" Jia Chen said helplessly. "I'm serious. Even if we can't develop an antidote, haven't we always been together?"

Jia Chen leaned close to Shirley's ear and whispered, "The soul contract cannot be changed."

Sherry paused for a moment, then fell silent. But during that silence, a smile crept onto her face. "Hmm... I almost forgot, Jia Chen, you're not human."

Seeing Jia Chen pause for a moment, Shirley's lips curled into a smile, and she gently kissed Jia Chen's cheek. "The bath water is ready, go take a bath first, I'll go heat up the food."

After saying that, he left the bedroom.

Jia Chen: "...

I don't know why, but Sherry is getting harder and harder to deal with these days.

After showering, Jia Chen, wearing a black and gold bathrobe, came out of the bathroom and took out some sherry from the refrigerator...

"Would you like some?" Jia Chen sat down in a chair, opened a glass of sherry, and poured himself a drink.

"Mmm." Shirley nodded gently, holding out her wine glass to Jia Chen.

···Request flowers····

After Shirley drank two glasses, Jia Chen realized that something was wrong.

"I want more." Shirley reached out and moved a chair next to Jia Chen, leaning against him with a charmingly innocent look on her face, her red lips slightly panting, "Jia Chen, I want some."

Jia Chen: "You...have never had sherry before?"

Judging from Shirley's appearance... she's definitely never drunk alcohol before!

“No…” Shirley put her finger to her red lips. “After all, I’m still a minor, and my sister won’t let me drink.”

Jia Chen took a deep breath and reached out to touch Xiao Ai's forehead. "You can't drink anymore. Go to sleep quietly later."

"Damn..." Shirley said, her cheeks slightly flushed, seemingly completely drunk.

Jia Chen looked down at Shirley and felt his blood rush to his head again.

He was wearing a white lab coat over his clothes, and underneath he was wearing the burgundy sweater I had given him before.

Because she was a little drunk, her burgundy sweater slipped down slightly, revealing her delicate, fair shoulders, and her white-socked feet stepped on his feet.

“I won’t sell it either,” Jia Chen refused, snatching the wine glass from Shirley’s hand and drinking it all in one gulp, along with the entire bottle of Shirley.

"You're so naughty." Shirley pursed her rosy lips and hugged Jia Chen tightly.

After finishing his drink, Jia Chen didn't say anything. He reached out, picked up Shirley, and let her press against his body as he walked towards the bedroom.

After carrying Shirley to bed, Jia Chen also prepared to sleep...

Turn off the lights, get into bed...

The girl next to him didn't seem to be asleep; she was clinging to him like an octopus.

After a while, Shirley opened her mouth and gently bit Jia Chen's earlobe.

Jia Chen reached out and pressed Shirley's hand down, "Go to sleep..."

Sherry is drunk now... [86959738] who just grew bigger: Old Han must also be very tired, he didn't even think about that.

“Damn it~” Sherry reached out and touched him. “You’re already up.”

After saying that, Shirley shrank completely under the covers.

"Shirley...no." Garchen's side effects instantly wore off again...

Chapter 278 This was truly a wise decision.

Metropolitan Police Department

Inspector Megure, Wataru Takagi, Miwako Sato, and other officers stood or sat in their offices, holding tea in their hands, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

“Something’s been off lately…” Sato Miwako sipped her tea and looked at everyone. “Have you noticed anything?”

"Something's not right?" Takagi Wataru, who had been secretly watching Sato Miwako, paused for a moment. "What do you mean? The one in the case?"

“No…” Miwako Sato shook her head.

Inspector Megure took a sip of tea and coughed. "I guess the crime rate has dropped quite a bit recently, so you're finding it hard to adjust to the sudden ease, right?"

“No, no.” Miwako Sato frowned. “Because of the recent bombing, we seem to have forgotten about someone crucial.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.

Shiratori Ninzaburo approached with a document. "Inspector Megure, this is a document from higher-ups, asking if there's any progress regarding Kira."

“Yes!” Officer Sato nodded emphatically, as if he had thought of something. “Kira doesn’t seem to have appeared at all in the recent cases.”

"Is it possible..." Takagi Wataru reminded him, "The crime rate has been ridiculously low lately. Aside from the cases encountered by Detective Mouri, Conan, and Gatatsu, there are basically no other wanted criminals..."

“Hmm, Takagi is right.” Inspector Megure nodded, his crescent-shaped eyes taunting, “Aside from these plagues, there are basically no cases left.”

Conan, who was reading a detective novel at home, sneezed.

Kogoro Mouri, who was watching Yoko's performance video, sneezed:

++..*

Jia Chen, who was sleeping with Shirley in his arms, sneezed:

The rest of the Metropolitan Police Department were completely baffled. What on earth was Inspector Megure thinking...?

But thinking about it, it makes sense... Nowadays, Beika Town seems to have almost no cases, except for the Mori family or Gatatsu.
