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

After exiting the mining interface, Chen Nuo walked over and gestured to Ai Haibara and the others that they could leave.

As for Amuro Tooru, I can't talk about him in front of Conan yet. I'll tell Ai Haibara about it when we get back.

Just as Professor Agasa was about to go out and start the car, Mrs. Hirota stopped him.

It seems she was thanking Professor Agasa for calling the police.

Chen Nuo's brow twitched, wondering if the two of them had sparked some kind of romance.

Just then, Officer Yokomizo walked over.

"That's really amazing, Brother Chen Nuo. I've suspected that kid was up to something for a long time, but I couldn't find any evidence. It's all thanks to you." Officer Yokomizo kindly put his arm around Chen Nuo's shoulder.

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "It's just luck."

Chen Nuo exchanged a few polite words with Officer Yokogawa, and when he came out, the rain was much heavier than before.

Ai Haibara had already gotten into the car. She sat quietly in the back seat without saying a word.

Professor Agasa doesn't seem to have finished talking with Mrs. Hirota yet, but Conan has already come out and is standing under the eaves on the side of the main entrance, covering his mouth with his hand while making a phone call.

Without even thinking, Chen Nuo could guess that he was using Shinichi Kudo's identity to talk to Ran.

Moreover, Chen Nuo vaguely heard him say something like, "My house hasn't been cleaned in a long time either."

But this is good, I can take this opportunity to briefly explain things to Ai Haibara so she won't worry.

Chen Nuo opened his umbrella and walked towards the yellow Beetle.

After taking only two steps, Chen Nuo realized something was wrong.

Because of the distance and the rain, he initially thought that Ai Haibara was resting in the car, waiting for everyone to get on.

But as he got closer, he noticed that Ai Haibara had a look of extreme fear on her face, and her little shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

She seemed to be holding something in her hands.

Chen Nuo's heart sank. Could it be a bomb?

Because it was Conan's world, he subconsciously thought about the bomb.

Moreover, Ai Haibara is now a defector from the organization.

Considering the nameless, unfortunate guy Gin killed at the beginning of the original story, and "Tequila" who was accidentally killed by a bomb, using a bomb to punish Sherry for her defection doesn't seem so abnormal.

At that moment, Conan, standing behind her, also noticed something was wrong: "Something's not right. She seems to be holding something in her hand, and she looks very scared..."

Conan started running towards the car.

"Don't go over there!"

Chen Nuo spoke up to stop him, and just then, Professor Agasa came out of the room and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Chen Nuo-kun?"

Chen Nuo: "Professor, keep an eye on Conan and don't let him run around."

Chen Nuo's tone was unusually serious, and the professor grabbed Conan and pulled him into his arms.

Chen Nuo, holding an umbrella, first glanced around.

The streets were the same as before, with no suspicious people or vehicles, though they might be hiding in the shadows.

What should I do if the organization discovers this at this time?

What are the chances of surviving if you directly confront the brewery?

Chen Nuo's mind was constantly analyzing various possibilities.

But his body was already slowly moving towards Ai Haibara, as if some force was pulling him.

Chen Nuo went outside the car and looked inside through the rain-covered windshield.

The melodious music from the car radio drifted out through the crack in the door, blending with the sound of raindrops hitting the asphalt road outside, creating a beautiful harmony between art and nature.

Ai Haibara's face was deathly pale, her forehead covered in cold sweat. Her large, icy blue eyes seemed to have lost their vitality to what she was holding, leaving only her long eyelashes trembling. However, her gaze remained fixed on what she was holding, and she didn't even notice Chen Nuo walking over.

Chen Nuo followed her gaze.

Ok?

What's there to be afraid of?

Chapter 43: My girlfriend shrunk, yet a love triangle still occurred?

Looking through the glass, Chen Nuo noticed a bottle of wine on Ai Haibara's lap.

The glass bottle had a black label on it, and it looked like imported liquor. Her small hands gripped the bottle tightly, so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

However, the bottle of wine didn't look particularly special; it didn't appear to contain a bomb.

Chen Nuo gently knocked on the window.

Ai Haibara was so startled she almost jumped out of her car seat. She turned to look outside and saw Chen Nuo standing there. For a moment, a vulnerable look of longing to be protected appeared in her large, icy blue eyes.

But she quickly covered it up.

Upon seeing this, Chen Nuo immediately opened the car door and got in.

He first turned off the music on the car radio, then secretly glanced out the window and saw that Professor Agasa and Conan were watching them.

Chen Nuo waved to the two of them.

It conveys the message that everything is fine for now, but please don't come over.

The music was turned off, and the car became quiet. However, since Professor Agasa's car was quite old, the sound of rain outside could still be heard clearly.

Chen Nuo: "What? I thought it was a bomb."

Ai Haibara remained silent.

Chen Nuo had no choice but to hold her small hand and slowly pry open her somewhat stiff fingers to take out the bottle of wine.

The sound of Ai Haibara's heart pounding could be heard through her delicate sternum; she was sweating profusely, and her hands felt sticky when clenched.

“vermouth…”

“Vermouth is the name of Vermouth’s liquor,” Ai Haibara explained.

Chen Nuo was startled upon hearing this: "Vermouth, isn't she dead?!"

Ai Haibara gave him a deep look.

Chen Nuo blinked and met her gaze.

“I don’t know. I learned about her death from a researcher after that trip to Europe.” Haibara sighed. “Look at the note on the back of the bottle. This bottle of wine must have been a gift from her.”

Is it for me? But I don't know her.

Chen Nuo turned the bottle around to the back while wondering about it.

Sure enough, there was something that looked like a Christmas card stuck on it, with a string of words written in beautiful cursive English.

There was a faint lipstick mark on the edge of the card.

Chen Nuo stared at it for a while, then awkwardly handed the bottle back to Ai Haibara: "Um... I don't understand it, it's written in such a mess."

Chen Nuo can understand normal English.

But the handwriting on this card is just too casual.

Although it has a strangely alluring feel, through the words, one can vaguely imagine a blonde, blue-eyed, very large and sexy beauty sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, swinging her jade feet painted with red nail polish while freely scribbling on the paper.

But if you don't understand it, you just don't understand it.

No matter how beautiful it is, it's useless.

Perhaps it was because Chen Nuo was around, but Ai Haibara seemed less afraid. She took the card and read it softly:

【A secret makes a woman woman.】

(Secrets make women more attractive)

Chen Nuo was speechless.

I realized then that it was that iconic line; it must have been quite a feat for her to write it like this.

Ai Haibara looked up: "You really don't remember anything about Vermouth at all?"

Chen Nuo shook his head: "I think it might be a problem with my memory."

Although Chen Nuo said this, he was secretly worried.

Could the original owner still have some unpleasant romantic entanglements with Vermouth?

He just explained the complicated situation between Sherry and Ran, is he going to add Vermouth to the mix?

"what happened to you?"

Ai Haibara saw that Chen Nuo hadn't spoken for a while, so she asked.

Chen Nuo: "It's nothing. Although I can't remember what happened between us, I can at least be sure that she wasn't after you."

The fear in Ai Haibara's eyes hadn't completely faded. She held her head and murmured softly, "Even if it doesn't happen this time, what about next time?"

The organization will find me one day, and then kill my sleeping sister and me together. Having been stained with black blood, I can never escape the cage of fate...

Chen Nuo saw that Ai Haibara had fallen into her alcohol phobia again.

He quickly patted her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, no one can take you away until you pay back the 1 billion yen you owe me."

Chen Nuogang had just tied with Amuro Tooru, so he was feeling quite confident.

Ai Haibara pursed her lips and remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo put his hand on her shoulder. Ai Haibara's soft brown short hair brushed against his chin, tickling him. The faint scent of shower gel mixed with her milky fragrance, which smelled very nice.

Even through her coat, Chen Nuo could feel the delicate touch of her soft shoulders, though they weren't as full as Shirley's.

But it's small and cute.

Ai Haibara was unsure whether she was frightened by Vermouth or captivated by Chen Nuo's words.

She unusually did not resist.

However, Chen Nuo did not do anything excessive; he simply used this method to tell her that at least she still had a reliable teammate.

At Professor Hirota's house, Conan looked at the man and woman leaning together in the car window and asked, "Doctor, won't this cause problems?"
