Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

"Ugh……"

Shiraishi Xiu couldn't help but sigh again. He had indeed done some terrible things to this woman, but at the time he had no choice but to do so.

I hesitated for a long time.

He gently nudged her again.

A short while later...

Amidst the swaying, Yukiko gradually regained consciousness. She groggily opened her eyes, her vision filled with darkness, but she slowly made out a face—it was Osamu Shiraishi's face.

In that instant, she recalled the words spoken by the woman who had impersonated her on the ship—

She remembered that the other person's tone was very expectant, and also very seductive—

"Just sleep peacefully here. When Shiraishi finds you, that's when you'll have the easiest time to kill him. I've prepared the needle for you; it's poisoned. Whether it kills him or not is up to you. Anyway, a person disappearing at sea is quite common. I wish us a pleasant cooperation..."

Regaining her senses instantly, Yukiko deliberately feigned fear, grabbed Shiraishi Osamu's neck, and trembled as she spoke:

"There's a woman...she...she...she's impersonating me, I'm so scared..."

"Uh……"

Shiraishi Xiu hadn't expected things to turn out this way. The woman's fragrance wafting from her nose made him instinctively lower his guard, and he couldn't help but gently pat her back, comforting her.

"It's alright, it's alright, I've already taken care of it."

"Um?"

Yukiko responded weakly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. A thin needle appeared at her fingertips, ready to pierce the back of Shiraishi Osamu's neck.

"build!!!"

Suddenly a woman's voice came from ahead, and Xiao Lan came running over in a hurry.

Yukiko's expression changed instantly. With a flick of her finger, the fine needle silently fell into the sea.

Has anyone guessed what it is?

[There's another number, "two," in Shimabukuro Kimie's possession.]

[When put together, it's five, thirty-nine, two...]

[This is pretty obvious, isn't it? I feel like it's been hinted at so many times already. Is there really no one who can guess what it is?]

These three sets of numbers have appeared several times already. *A_A*1.

Chapter 0141: A Woman's Most Powerful Weapon

"build!!!"

Xiao Lan shouted and hurriedly ran over from the ship's passageway.

Yukiko pushed Shiraishi away in an instant, stood up, and her previous weak appearance vanished immediately.

She could have killed Shiraishi Osamu, but Ran appeared, which would have exposed her.

She didn't want to go to jail for killing Shiraishi Osamu; she had to come up with a perfect solution.

Shiraishi Xiu was a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention to anything. He just watched as Xiaolan rushed over and hurriedly said:

"what happened?"

"I……"

Xiaolan swallowed back the many words that were on the tip of her tongue, unsure of what to say, and could only whisper:

"I just saw you were gone and came out to look for you. Also, wasn't that my dad just now?"

At this point, Xiaolan suddenly remembered that her father had run away to prove whether she was him or not, which meant that the other party was not her father.

What about her own father?

"Don't worry," Shiraishi Osamu quickly comforted Ran. "I think Mr. Mori is probably lying in the toilet somewhere. After all, Kaito Kid doesn't kill people. If he really did, he probably wouldn't be alive now."

"Um?"

Xiao Lan nodded.

Osamu Shiraishi glanced behind him and was immediately stunned, because Yukiko had already left, leaving only an empty corridor.

It was pitch black all around, and the sea breeze made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

He subconsciously touched the back of his neck and found that he was already sweating a little.

"Huh? Where's Aunt Yukiko? I just saw her here!"

"He's probably left already."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled, immediately putting the matter behind him, and walked towards the cabin with Ran.

As Xiaolan walked, she continued to say worriedly:

"Xiu, is my dad really alright?"

"Don't worry, he might have already been found. With such a commotion just now, I don't think anyone would be a fool."

"Um?"

Xiaolan nodded, her pace quickening unconsciously.

Shiraishi Xiu silently took out the playing card again, looking at the nine of spades, he remained silent.

Actually, he had a slight guess as to who the woman in disguise was, but since he had never actually seen her, he couldn't be 100% sure.

However, he had a premonition.

If the woman left any clues, he believed he could probably figure it out.

"call……"

Osamu Shiraishi took a deep breath and walked into the cabin with Ran, where they saw Kogoro Mouri inside, covering his head and cursing incessantly.

There was a chubby little bump on the back of Kogoro Mouri's head, and he was speaking with a dark expression:

"Damn Phantom Thief Kid! Is knocking someone out only done by hitting them on the back of the head?"

"If I catch him next time, I'll beat him up in the toilet and make him drink the toilet water."

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"

Kogoro Mouri's constant吐槽 (tu cao, a form of sarcastic commentary) eased the tense atmosphere around him, and everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths.

"Dad!" Xiaolan called out worriedly, and immediately ran to her father's side to ask him about his well-being. At the same time, she glanced at the small bump on the back of his head and couldn't help but chuckle.

Tomoko Suzuki walked up to Osamu Shiraishi and asked, "Officer Shiraishi, how is Kaito Kid?"

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head: "We couldn't catch him; he jumped into the sea and escaped. But I think he probably won't come back tonight."

"Thank you so much, Officer Shiraishi."

"No need, as a police officer, this is what I should do."

Inside the cabin.

In the room prepared for the guest.

Yukiko strode in from outside, looked at the other Yukiko sitting on her bed in her room smoking, said nothing, and just stared at her coldly.

Vermouth exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled, "Judging from your dark expression, it seems you've failed."

Yukiko asked coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

"Ha ha……"

Vermouth smiled, said nothing, and calmly smoked her cigarette.

click!

Yukiko slammed the door shut and pulled out her phone to threaten him:

"Tell me who you are, or I'll call the police. I'm sure there are plenty of police officers on this ship."

"Tsk tsk..."

Vermouth looked at Yukiko with amusement and said slowly:

0. Requesting flowers.......

"Then go ahead and call the police. I haven't done anything wrong anyway. Do you think the police will arrest me for no reason?"

She paused here, pulled out her pistol, pointed it at the actor, and said in an extremely cold voice:

"Who do you think you're talking to! A woman like you who's just slightly prettier is no match for the world. Don't go looking for trouble!"

"you……"

Yukiko's face turned red with anger, and her heart sank as she looked at the pistol pointed at her.

Although she wasn't afraid of death, she didn't want to die like this, because she still had revenge to take.

... 0

Seeing Yukiko's silence, Vermouth smiled wickedly, slowly stood up, walked up to her, and stared intently at her face.

"It really is beautiful!"

He gently stroked Yukiko's smooth face, a seductive smile spreading across her face as she spoke softly:

"No wonder... With such a face and such a perfect figure, Shiraishi Xiu really forgot that women are the most dangerous."

"Humph!"

Yukiko snorted and turned her head to the side, pulling away from the hand that was stroking her cheek.

Vermouth's hand hovered in mid-air. She wasn't angry; she just smiled slightly, put away her pistol, opened the door, and left.

However, as she walked out, she left behind one last sentence—

"Don't forget your most powerful weapon: killing doesn't have to be accidental; you can also take the initiative."

The words fell.

The door was already closed.

Yukiko was left alone in the room, silent.
