I'm in Detective Conan, but it's a chaotic battlefield.

But who are those two girls in the back seat?

Such beautiful twins made it hard for Akemi Miyano not to think of other things.

My younger sister has been in the organization since she was a child and has no romantic experience. She is easily deceived by men with ulterior motives, so she is a little worried.

"What's wrong, Yami?" Asashima, her colleague from the bank, hugged her arm from behind. "Have you taken a fancy to some handsome guy?"

Akemi Miyano smiled and said, "No, I just suddenly feel a little tired."

Asashima asked with a worried look, "Should we go back and rest?"

Akemi Miyano shook her head: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit."

Of course, she couldn't leave. Maintaining good relationships with her bank colleagues was also an important part of the plan, and she had to stay focused no matter how tired she was.

She came to work at this bank to complete a task assigned to her by her organization.

Although the mission was dangerous, success would allow her and her sister to escape the organization. Shiho already had a boyfriend, and she felt that as the older sister, she should do something for her.

Today was a day for a get-together with colleagues, an important way to build good relationships. Miyano Akemi had made many preparations for today, but this little incident made her a bit uneasy.

Asashima: "Okay, you can sit next to me later. I'll help you fend off those guys who try to force you to drink."

"Okay, thank you then."

Just then, the car arrived.

Asashima helped Akemi into the car, but Akemi waved her hand and said, "You guys go ahead, I need to make a phone call."

Asashima paused for a moment: "Okay, then you remember that restaurant with a two-story-high clown balloon in front of it, it's easy to find."

Akemi Miyano nodded and walked to a corner away from the crowd.

Even if Asashima didn't remind her, she wouldn't forget the restaurant, because she had already scouted it out in advance.

A circus troupe from England was performing on that street, which boosted the popularity of the restaurants there. The circus had a signboard standing on the street: a two-story-tall clown. Akemi Miyano even memorized a lot of information about the circus to use as conversation starters.

She takes this plan very seriously.

Unexpectedly, it was her sister's boyfriend who ran into problems first.

Akemi Miyano took out her phone, switched the screen to her sister's section, and dialed the number.

She decided to probe indirectly first before making any plans.

.

After Chen Nuo dropped Fei Yingli off at home, he planned to leave.

But Xiaolan stopped him and pulled him into the guest room.

"Are you hurt?" Xiaolan handed him several bottles of medicine. "These are from your house, and some I found at Mom's. You can apply them yourself."

Chen Nuo didn't think much of it, since he was indeed in a lot of pain.

So after Xiaolan left.

Chen Nuo took off his clothes, and in the mirror he could see that his body was covered in bruises, which looked rather miserable, but it didn't actually hurt that much. People who practice kendo often suffer such injuries.

Just as he was about to apply the medicine, Xiaolan pushed the door open and came in again.

She blushed when she saw Chen Nuo's muscular physique, but was quickly stunned by the scars on his body.

Xiaolan bit her lip lightly, her face full of self-reproach.

Chen Nuo quickly put the shirt back on.

"Hot, hot towel." Xiaolan walked over and handed him the towel, her head down.

"Thank you."

Chen Nuo held the soft, hot towel in his hand, and for some reason, it suddenly reminded him of the feel of Xiao Lan's fair and soft little feet.

He couldn't tell if it was the scent of the towel or Xiaolan's body, but it kept wafting into his nose.

Xiaolan looked down at her toes, hesitant to speak.

Chen Nuo also looked at her toes.

Xiaolan hesitated for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to say:

"Um... I, I'll wipe your back for you."

Chapter 28 Miyano Akemi Forced to Join the Love Triangle

Akemi Miyano stood in front of the window of a toy store on the side of the road.

Through the glass display case, you can see action Rider, Gundam robot, and Magical Girl P plushies on display...

The streetlights cast a warm orange glow, reflecting Akemi Miyano's image as she held a phone in her hand on the glass.

Her long, straight black hair cascaded over her light yellow suit jacket, revealing her slender, fair legs, and she wore light yellow low-cut high heels.

Her features are very similar to Shirley's, but she gives people a completely different feeling of gentleness, especially when she smiles, it's as if she can dispel any murderous intent.

A hastily written note was pasted on the glass sliding door next to the shop window.

[Closed for the day; I took my son to the circus.]

Upon seeing the note, Akemi Miyano became even more curious about the circus from England.

If Shiho has time, could we go see it together?

Just then, the call connected. A tired voice came through the receiver: "Sis? Didn't you say you were going out with your colleagues tonight? You're back so early?"

Akemi Miyano: "The dinner party hasn't even started yet, and you sound terrible. What happened?"

"I've been busy with a new experimental project these past few days, but it's finished now." Shiho Miyano's tired voice couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

“You should also remember to get some rest,” Mingmei said. “By the way, are you free to come out these few days? There’s a circus from England that I think is pretty good…”

Shiho Miyano paused for a moment: "No, sis, I have to leave Tokyo for a few days."

Are you going on a business trip?

“Yes, let’s go to Mermaid Island,” Shiho Miyano said. “Let’s investigate something there. If we succeed, we can have a vacation that’s longer than you can believe.”

"I see... Then you should be careful."

Akemi Miyano didn't try to persuade her further; she knew that whatever she said would be useless.

The reason the organization has kept the sisters under control all these years is mainly to retain Shiho, a brilliant scientist. As for her, she is just an outer member and is not valued by the organization at all.

Akemi Miyano changed the subject: "By the way, how are things going with you and your boyfriend?"

"Ah...it's...it's fine." Shirley said somewhat awkwardly, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to come over for a meal sometime. He mentioned he likes Chinese food, so I learned a few dishes to teach you," Miyano Akemi said. "Have you been seeing each other often lately?"

"Yeah, he's been a bit busy lately, but he calls me every day." Shirley lied. Actually, she had been studying the changes in Chen Nuo since she got back, burying herself in the lab, and hadn't contacted Chen Nuo at all these past few days.

Shirley hesitated for a moment and said, "No need, sis. He doesn't like crowds; he's socially awkward."

Akemi Miyano didn't believe it at all. Would someone with social anxiety really grab your feet and play with them under the table right in front of me?

“How can that be? You’re too aloof, that’s why you haven’t found a boyfriend yet. You have to seize this opportunity.” Miyano Akemi said with a smile, “When you come back from that Mermaid Island, come to my house for a get-together. I’ll teach you the Chinese cooking I’ve learned.”

"Ok."

Shirley's voice clearly indicated reluctance.

Akemi Miyano asked her sister a few more questions, telling her to rest well and be careful on the island, before hanging up.

Even in the glass of the shop window, Akemi Miyano's gentle features still exude a friendly charm.

However, his gaze was much sharper than before.

Shiho and he haven't seen each other recently, but they talk on the phone every day. Under these circumstances, he's with two pretty girls...

Based on the information, Akemi Miyano deduced a not-so-good conclusion.

However, we need to confirm this first.

Akemi Miyano wondered if she should secretly investigate him.

Or perhaps we could try to test his loyalty to Shiho?

.

Chen Nuo was unaware that he was being targeted by Miyano Akemi, and that he was already undergoing a similar test.

Xiao Lan cornered him in the room and insisted on applying ointment for his bruises and sprains.

Chen Nuo initially refused outright; taking off clothes for something like this was a bit embarrassing.

However, Xiaolan was surprisingly stubborn.

If Chen Nuo's attitude became slightly firmer, Xiao Lan would say with a face full of self-reproach, "Your injuries must have been sustained while saving your mother, right? At least let me do something for you, so I can feel a little better."

Chen Nuo had no choice but to agree to her request.

It's just applying medicine, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal, right?

Chen Nuo lay on the bed, resting her chin on the pillow. This room was probably unoccupied, so there was no fragrance or anything like that on the bed; it was very plain.

However, there was a photo of Eri Kisaki on the bedside table.

In the photo, she is crossing her legs and resting her hand on her black-rimmed glasses, exuding a strong sense of intimidation.

Chen Nuo felt strange being watched. He wanted to turn the photo away, but then he thought that doing so would seem like trying to cover something up.

It's just applying some medicine, what's there to be afraid of?

Chen Nuo turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Eri Kisaki in the photo.

hiss--

A sudden chill ran down Chen Nuo's back, and he instinctively twitched.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?" Xiaolan asked with concern.

Chen Nuo shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable at first."

"Then I'll be gentle," Xiaolan said softly.

Chen Nuo suddenly felt that the dialogue might be better switched...
