Qingze's voice suddenly turned dangerous.

"Ha, who told you to say she's in a relationship?"

Vodka felt he had been wronged beyond measure.

Isn't this true?

He just asked a question, who knew Vermouth was so perceptive that she could guess it was about Koniak.

"Are you having a secret relationship?" he asked tentatively.

Why are they hiding this? Are they afraid Ran's father will find out? Or are they afraid other members of the organization will find out?

Qingze's tone returned to normal.

"I broke up with her. Don't ruin other girls' reputations."

Vodka's lips twitched.

separate?

You called her after breaking up with her.

He bet the two of them will make up in three days!

Aozawa quickly changed the subject from Ran Mouri.

Why did Vermouth suddenly call you?

Vodka was also puzzled by this question.

"I don't know. I was driving when she suddenly called and asked what I was doing."

Where are you driving to?

Vodka thought for a moment and then told the truth.

The fact that Shinichi Kudo didn't die was a major mistake made by him and his older brother.

If Rum and his ilk knew, they'd probably make a fuss about it.

But Koniak knew it didn't matter; he never really got involved in the organization's affairs and had absolutely no interest in its infighting and power struggles.

How to describe his relationship with his older brother?

Teacher and friend, enemy and foe.

Sometimes they can stand on the same side, but sometimes when they start fighting, it's all about killing each other.

Especially since this Shinichi Kudo is also Koniak's rival in love.

They want to kill Shinichi Kudo, and Koniak will not only not stop them, but might even help them.

"I saw Shinichi Kudo. He's still alive and even went on a school trip. My older brother suspects there's something wrong with his appearance and asked me to investigate..."

As he spoke, Vodka kept an eye on the reaction on the other end of the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone reacted indifferently, which was completely unexpected.

He asked, puzzled, "You know that Shinichi Kudo isn't dead?"

"do not know."

"then you?"

"It's not my business?"

Vodka: "..."

Do you believe this?

After hanging up the phone, Qingze tapped the steering wheel in deep thought.

If nothing unexpected happens, Vermouth saw Vodka following the Teitan High School car, which is why she called Vodka.

Meanwhile, Vermouth was behind the Teitan High School bus.

Shinichi Kudo appears as Shinichi Kudo, so he will likely be secretly protected by the FBI or the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

Wow, looks like this trip to Kyoto is going to be quite lively.

Chapter 109 Are you in a relationship?

Seeing Koniak hang up the phone, Vermouth was furious and pounded the steering wheel several times.

The piercing horn blared from the car, sounding like the driver's angry roar.

The car suddenly accelerated and soon overtook the bus, stopping at the service area.

She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and picked up her phone to text Ran Mouri.

[Xiaolan, are you in a relationship?]

Ran Mouri was taken aback when she suddenly received such a message from Vermouth, and felt a little nervous.

Why did she suddenly ask that question?

Did Ran Mouri find out that she was dating Koniak?

She immediately texted Qingze to ask how to reply.

Denying it is enough.

Seeing the reply that came instantly put her at ease.

She switched to the chat window and began to formulate a reply to Vermouth.

"I'm not in a relationship, why is the teacher asking this all of a sudden?"

Vermouth felt a little relieved when Ran Mouri said she wasn't in a relationship.

It's unlikely that Ran Mouri would suddenly start dating someone; the fact that Vodka knows she's in a relationship is probably a smokescreen by Koniac.

But one thing is for sure.

Koniak is coveting her angel!

Her expression was sinister and frightening, yet the words she typed carried a hint of intimacy.

Who was the person you said you wanted to give a gift to the other day? Can you tell me?

This message seems to have put Ran Mouri in a dilemma.

Should I ask Qingze if he can tell me his name?

But if you tell people you're giving a gift, it won't be a surprise anymore.

I'm sorry, teacher, I can't tell you.

It's best to keep it a secret. She hasn't figured out what's going on yet, so keeping it a secret is the right thing to do.

She replied to the message, but before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Vermouth called her directly.

Before she could speak, Vermouth's earnest voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiaolan, you mustn't be fooled by certain people, you know? Some people may be good-looking, but you can't judge a book by its cover. They might just be crazy..."

Her angel hasn't fallen for it yet, but judging from her reaction when she asked about the gift that day, it's probably coming soon.

Damn it, when exactly did Koniak set her sights on her angel?

She was completely unaware of this before!

Vermouth's concern and worry were almost overflowing, and Ran Mouri could feel her sincerity.

"Don't worry, teacher, I won't be easily fooled."

Vermouth was at a loss for words regarding Ran Mouri's confidence.

With that cunning fellow Koniak, if he wanted to deceive, how could he be so easily exposed?

Although she has already accepted Ran Mouri as her student under the identity of Chris, her relationship with Ran Mouri is still in a relatively unfamiliar state.

Talking too much will only annoy people.

"If you're going to date, you absolutely must let me help you choose. I've been there, I've seen all kinds of men."

"Well, I will."

Ran Mouri answered the phone with the ear by the window, and Shinichi Kudo couldn't hear what was being said on the other end.

But he did hear the word "teacher".

Teacher? Is it Vermouth?

What was she saying to Xiaolan? What did she mean by not being fooled?

Seeing that Xiaolan had hung up the phone, he asked aloud.

"Xiaolan, who are you talking to on the phone?"

“She’s my teacher, Miss Chris.”

"What did she tell you? What did she say about not being able to be fooled?"

Ran Mouri shook her head and didn't say anything.

"It's nothing, it's a girl's private matter, you shouldn't pry."

Seeing that Ran didn't seem to be planning to talk to him, Shinichi Kudo clenched his teeth.

I had planned to tell her in a secluded spot after getting off the bus, but now I can't wait that long.

"Xiaolan, listen to me. Your teacher isn't a good person; she's dangerous..."

Ran Mouri interrupted him, frowning as she looked at him. "Do you know my teacher? Have you ever been in contact with her? Why are you so sure she's a bad person? If she's a bad person, why hasn't she been arrested yet?"

The reason Vermouth wasn't arrested was, of course, because they had no evidence.

As an international superstar and an American citizen, she was on Japanese soil, and without any evidence that she had committed murder, the Japanese police had no way to take action against her.

What was he going to say?

Is it true that the teacher you just met is actually a cold-blooded killer?

Is there ulterior motive behind getting close to you?

But what could a female high school student possibly have ulterior motives for?

He was in a hurry; the bus was crowded, and it wasn't a suitable place to talk.

"Xiaolan, believe me! She's not a good person, don't trust her too much!"

He felt that Aozawa was unlikely to be Vermouth, but Subaru Okiya's speculation also made some sense.

"Alright, Shinichi, I know you're worried about me. But I have my own judgment, so don't underestimate me. I can tell who's good to me and who's not."

After saying that, Ran Mouri closed her eyes, preparing to rest for a while.

Shinichi Kudo sullenly sat back down in his chair.

It seemed as if a chasm had suddenly appeared between him and Xiaolan; she was right in front of him, yet unreachable.

He tried desperately to get closer, but the distance never shrank by an inch.

Subaru Okiya's words echoed in his mind once again.

Xiaolan has very likely already made contact with the organization.

The things he had kept hidden for so long, things he didn't want Xiaolan to touch, had unknowingly entered Xiaolan's life.

He couldn't quite understand the point of hiding it for so long.

Besides pushing Xiaolan away, what else did he gain?

It's pointless to regret it now.

A sense of powerlessness enveloped him once again, and he momentarily lost all fighting spirit.

What good is physical recovery?

His Xiaolan no longer likes him.

After finishing her call with Ran Mouri, Vermouth didn't stop; she dialed Yukiko Kudo's number as well.
