Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

When Gu De was in that meditation room, he only told him that he would reveal the truth through hypnosis.

The kid didn't ask any questions.

Moreover, last night Gu De reviewed his skills.

The disguise cream mimics Zhongnian's appearance, and the teleportation ability is used to disappear and reappear. Overall, the effect is quite good!

Everything produced by our system is of high quality!

"Brother Gu De~"

Conan's voice suddenly came through.

Gu De frowned immediately. If Conan called him "Brother Gu De," it must be because he needed something from him!

Gu De simply chose to ignore it.

Ran Mouri, who was standing nearby, quickly came over and said, "Brother Gu De, I want to ask you something."

Gu De was somewhat surprised; why did Ran Mouri look so worried?

He led Ran Mouri to a private room.

"Brother Gu De, I know everything about you and Aunt Yukiko!"

Gu De: "???"

He looked up at Yukiko Kudo not far away, who was recalling something with a red glow on her face.

This woman... I think she'd really like it if I got her a collar later.

This woman probably won't say anything to Ran Mouri.

So……

"Brother Gu De, how is Aunt Yukiko doing?"

When Ran Mouri saw that Gu De didn't speak, she became even more worried.

After Yukiko Kudo returned last night, Ran Mouri was a little worried, but felt that the problem was not serious.

However, the matter of Abbot Ten'ei made Ran Mouri, the little angel, instantly uneasy.

If Aunt Kiko also has serious psychological problems, could it also be...?

"Her condition isn't serious..."

Gooard sensed something was wrong and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Whoo~"

"That's alright. Although it's not right to ask a psychologist about a patient's condition, Brother Gu De, you actually arranged to come to Shanni Temple with Aunt Yukiko, right?"

Ran Mouri continued, "You two must have gone out for treatment yesterday. It seems that the pressure on celebrities is really immense."

Seeing that Ran's worry was easing, Gu De patted her head and said, "Alright, Ran, there's too much I can't tell you."

"However, don't worry. Also, please keep this a secret for Ms. Yukiko."

Although I don't know how Ran Mouri arrived at this conclusion, it's a good direction, and I can make use of it in the future.

For example, lawyer Eri Kisaki, who is in constant contact with the law, inevitably comes into contact with the darker side of the law.

And the female police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department.

As a psychologist, I, Gu De, feel it is my duty to provide you with guidance!

Ran Mouri nodded obediently and left with peace of mind.

But when Gu De turned around, he found Conan looking at him with a constipated expression not far away.

"Conan, what's up?"

Gu De frowned. Could this guy have a similar problem?

"Brother Gu De~"

Conan also skipped over, and Gu De quickly reached out to stop him: "Don't be so disgusting, just get to the point."

Conan's figure, which was jumping and twirling in the middle of the skirt, froze instantly.

He strode up to Gu De and asked, "Brother Gu De, I'd like to ask if Abbot Tian Yong is one of your patients?"

Gu De: "???"

What's going on? Everyone's so imaginative this early in the morning.

I'm not that famous yet, am I?

"Is his condition what you call paranoia?"

"After committing the murder, he was under immense mental pressure and eventually had a breakdown, attempting suicide..."

Conan quietly analyzed.

He thought about it all night, and this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

That is, Gu De came here to treat Abbot Tianyong. Because he was the abbot of the temple, Abbot Tianyong did not dare to go to Dongdu rashly.

We had no choice but to ask Goo De to come to our door!

Like Ran Mouri, Conan also believed he was right when he saw that Gu De remained silent.

"Little kid, you're overthinking it."

Gu De left after saying just one sentence.

I'd better get back to the agency quickly; the person Maya Tachibana caught is most likely Vermouth!

Moreover, if I stay here any longer, Kogoro Mouri might come looking for me soon!

"Ms. Yukiko, may I ride with you back to Tokyo?"

Gu De walked up to Yukiko Kudo and asked.

Conan was about to follow, as he also had many questions he wanted to ask his mother.

However, one hand firmly gripped Conan's shoulder.

"Conan, don't disturb Brother Gu De!"

Ran Mouri's voice came from behind.

In Ran Mouri's eyes, Gu De was doing this to take care of the patient, and Conan's insistence on joining in was incredibly inconsiderate!

"That's right, let's ride in Yukiko's car too!"

Kogoro Mouri walked over with his hands in his pockets and a dejected look on his face.

However, Ran Mouri stopped her again: "Dad, let's ride in Inspector Megure's car!"

"Don't bother Brother Gu De and Aunt Yukiko, they have things to do!"

……

It was already evening when I got back to the office.

Before parting ways, Gu De and Yukiko had lunch on the mountain road, and Yukiko ate her fill.

Seeing the closed doors of the agency, Gu De didn't rush upstairs. Instead, he went downstairs to Ikeda Elena's women's clothing store.

"Gu De, I thought you went out."

When Elena Ikeda saw Gu De walk in, her eyes lit up and she went to greet him.

"Yes, I just got back."

Gu De casually found a place to sit down, and Ikeda Elena immediately served him black tea and cake.

"It was just baked this afternoon, have a taste."

Elena Ikeda sat down opposite her with a smile.

“My assistant stayed at the office, but I went to the mountains to visit a patient.”

Gu De stretched.

Elena Ikeda immediately got up and walked behind him, massaging Gu De's shoulders with moderate pressure.

"By the way, could I borrow the store's phone?"

Gu De patted her hand with a smile.

He skillfully dialed the firm's landline, and soon a familiar voice rang out.

"Hello, Good Psychological Counseling Center."

It's Maya Tachibana's voice.

"Boss, how much is this melon per pound?"

Maya Tachibana's voice came quickly: "One dollar and two cents."

"Is the rind of this melon made of gold, or are the melon seeds made of gold?"

“Look around, where are the melons now? These are all greenhouse melons. You think they’re too expensive, and I think they’re too expensive too.” Hearing this, Gu De nodded in relief.

It seems that Tachibana Maya is upstairs.

He stood up and smiled, "I'll come find you tonight, let's have a late-night snack together."

Elena Ikeda looked expectant. "Then I'll prepare that dress you mentioned last time!"

Back at the office, Gu De indeed saw the woman bound in a tortoise shell.

The woman was dressed in men's clothing, her beautiful face framed by closed eyes, her pale golden hair disheveled—it was indeed Vermouth.

"She disguised herself as you to come in, but after I discovered her, I ambushed her and knocked her unconscious."

Tachibana Maya said calmly.

Gu De asked curiously, "What about this method of binding?"

"I thought you'd like it, boss, because you've tied me up this way before..."

Maya Tachibana's gaze drifted to the side.

Gu De: "..."
