In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Checked the time.

Xia Ye looked at Okino Yoko and smiled, saying:

"Miss Yoko, I suddenly remembered I have some things to do today, so I'll leave Yukiko and the others with you. I'll take my leave now."

Hey?

Yoko Okino was a little confused.

Are you about to take action?

This is way too rushed...

"Xia Ye?"

Yukiko and the other girls came over, their eyes asking questions.

"Yukiko~"

Natsume greeted Yukiko:

"I have to go out for a bit. You stay here and play with Xiaolan and the others."

"Good~"

Yukiko didn't ask any further questions.

The girls present all knew what Xia Ye wanted to do, and with his strength, there was no need to worry about his safety.

"I'll go first then~"

Xia Ye bid farewell to everyone and walked straight out of the practice room. There was still some residual true energy on the two bodyguards, so there was no need to worry about losing them for the time being.

........

The entrance to the TV station.

Akio Ikeda was hurriedly led away by two bodyguards.

For someone as arrogant and domineering as him, such a humiliating escape was simply disgraceful.

"You two bastards! The old man sent you to protect me, and you actually disobeyed me!"

"Young Master, we're taking you away to protect you!"

Both bodyguards are personal bodyguards assigned to active members of parliament. It's just that Yasuo Ikeda used his position for personal gain, sending them to protect his grandson. Such bodyguards have a very accurate judgment of the situation, and their mission is not to fight or be aggressive with others; protecting the safety of the target is their top priority!

"you!"

Akio Ikeda's face was grim.

However, he really couldn't do anything about those two people.

These are bodyguards sent by my grandfather. They are usually quite obedient, but when it comes to critical moments, they will only follow my grandfather's orders!

The most disgusting thing is.

He couldn't leave these two people behind.

There are countless people in this world who want him dead. For some assassinations, ordinary bodyguards are simply unreliable; you still need these two professionals.

"Forget it, let's go to the Fragrance Club!"

Let Yoko Okino off the hook for today, and we'll make our move next time when we have the chance!

"Yes! Master!"

The two bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief.

Going to an entertainment club to find women is safer than going to cause trouble for that mysterious powerful man.

Actually, they didn't want to fall out with this young master. After all, although they were sent by Representative Ikeda to protect his grandson, the young master's father, Chairman Ikeda, had given them a very generous reward. Once they stopped being the young master's bodyguards, they would lose that reward!

The main entrance of the TV station.

Xia Ye watched the three figures leave.

They walked in another direction.

Reaching the other side of the road, Xia Ye made a phone call.

Less than ten minutes.

A sleek silver supercar pulled up in front of him. The gull-wing door on the passenger side slowly rose, and Vermouth smiled charmingly from the driver's seat, waving at him.

"boarding!"

Xia Ye got into the passenger seat.

The gull-wing doors slowly closed, and with the roar of the engine, the sports car beneath us transformed into a silver lightning bolt and shot off.

"Why the sudden urge to take action?"

Vermouth gripped the steering wheel, driving at such a high speed, she even had the energy to glance at Xia Ye, and said reproachfully:

I'm getting ready to go visit my friends!

"friend?"

Xia Ye was taken aback. Could it be that Sister Bei was trying to go find Yukiko just now?

"Teacher, do you still have friends in Japan?"

"Yeah, she recently returned to Japan from the US, I'm planning to go see her and have a chat."

Vermouth naturally knew that Natsume knew Yukiko, but she had to pretend not to know, and she couldn't let her guard down in this regard.

As expected, he was going to find Yukiko.

If Vermouth goes to visit Yukiko, she'll definitely end up at her house, and then her own location won't be a secret anymore. Besides, Ai and Akemi live in the villa, so they might be exposed too.

but--

Xia Ye wasn't particularly nervous.

On one hand, his strength allows him to easily control the situation; if Bayonetta really turns against him, taking her down would be a piece of cake.

On the other hand, he has a trump card. If Bayonetta finds out, he can just put Ran in front of her and guarantee that she will be immediately influenced by the angelic halo, turning the real wine into fake wine and abandoning darkness for light!

Looking at Vermouth, Xia Ye said apologetically, "Then haven't I been taking up your time, teacher?"

Vermouth smiled and said, "I'm just planning to go. I haven't contacted her yet. Besides, it's my student's first mission after being promoted to a core member, so of course I have to accompany you!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Ye coughed lightly and said, "Teacher, I'm so touched by you. You have everything you need, so why don't I just repay you with my body!"

Vermouth glanced at him indifferently.

"You've only been back in Japan for a few days, and you've already become so glib?"

Xia Ye smiled slightly.

"Teacher, people change, that's normal."

"is it?"

Vermouth understood.

This guy is laying the groundwork for the future.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. Do you need my help with the mission?"

"I really need a little help from the teacher; it's a bit difficult for me to carry out my plan alone."

Knowing the target's detailed information, Xia Ye could easily come up with a perfect plan in an instant, given her abilities.

"Teacher, my plan is this..."

"Excellent, no flaws, and no hidden dangers. Most importantly, the people we control can legitimately obtain the power that's been vacated. Very good!"

Vermouth's beautiful eyes held a hint of pride. This was something she had taught him. Even if he was a transmigrator, he was still using the knowledge she had taught him. Hmm, she felt quite accomplished!

.........

The main entrance of Wenxiang Club.

Xia Ye now looks like an ordinary middle-aged office worker.

Upon entering the club, the still-attractive madam glanced at him but made no move to greet him.

Having greeted and seen off countless customers over the years, she'd developed a keen eye. These middle-aged office workers weren't exactly generous with their money; most of the time they'd just order a girl, have a few drinks, and that was it—nothing to skim off the top. For these kinds of people, it was best to let them order at the bar themselves.

Xia Ye did not go to the bar.

Taking advantage of a moment when customers were taking orders at the bar, he darted into the private rooms at the back.

Following the fading energy, Xia Ye located the private room where Akio Ikeda was.

Xia Ye casually passed by the door of the private room, observed the surroundings, and then entered the restroom not far from the room.

Soon after.

"Young Master, please wait a moment, let us go in and check first!"

"What a hassle! Let's go!"

"Click~"

The bathroom door was opened.

The two bodyguards carefully checked each cubicle. It was morning, and there weren't many guests at the club. There was no one in the restrooms.

"Get out of here right now! I told you, there wouldn't be any problem!"

"Yes, Master!"

Akio Ikeda slammed the bathroom door shut, muttering under his breath, "Ugh! Even taking a dump, they want to spy on me, bastard—"

"Master?"

"This place is so filthy! It's disgusting!"

Natsume supported Akio Ikeda's limp, unconscious body, and complained in his voice:

Why didn't you remind me?!

"I'm sorry, young master!"

The two bodyguards also saw the cubicle with vomit; who knew this young master would be so unlucky as to choose that one...

"Forget it, leave me alone!"

Xia Ye dragged Akio Ikeda into a clean cubicle, took out his phone, unlocked the keypad, clicked on a Twitter live stream featuring a hot girl, turned up the volume, placed the phone on the shelf next to him, and began to undress Akio Ikeda.

five minutes later.

The bathroom door opened, and Akio Ikeda came out.

"Master!"

"Let's go back and have a drink~"

"It's the young master!"

Just then, a woman dressed as a cleaner pushed a garbage cart full of trash past the neighbor.

Akio Ikeda spoke up: "Hey, the bathroom is so dirty, why aren't you cleaning it! Are you slacking off? Believe me or not, I'll report you!"

The sanitation worker, wearing a mask, rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still lowered her head and said, "I'll go clean it up right away~"

"That's pretty much it!"

Akio Ikeda boasted to his bodyguards on either side:

"See, I guess I did a good deed?"

"Yes, Master!"

The two bodyguards, against their true feelings, praised, "Everyone who comes to use the restroom after you will thank you!"

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Final Performance

There was a sign that read "Cleaning in Progress" at the entrance to the restroom.

In the bathroom.

The "cleaner" who pushed the garbage truck in easily opened the door to the third compartment, which was locked from the inside.
