Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

But Kudo Yusaku clearly remembered Cao Yu saying that the more secrets you know, the shorter your life is.

Judging from what had just happened, he was certain that Cao Yu intended to kill him.

Vermouth and Ran Mouri remained silent, seemingly unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the two sides.

"It's alright, kids are naturally curious, I won't take it to heart."

For a fleeting moment, Cao Yu did want to teach Conan a lesson for wrongly accusing him of rape and murder, which almost landed him in jail.

But it wouldn't kill him.

After all, Cao Yu's method of revenge was to take away the woman he cherished most in his life.

Since the Kudo couple stepped in to help, Conan was lucky.

"By the way, Mr. Turtle Egg, what about that thing I told you about before? What have you thought about?"

Yusaku Kudo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.

"That thing..."

"Oh dear, I have to go to the bathroom. I drank too much and I really can't hold it in anymore. I'll go take a break and we'll talk later."

Cao Yu clutched his stomach and made a hasty exit from the private room to urinate.

Is there any need to consider that?

Of course I'd refuse!

With the system as his protective charm and the fusion of Wolf Brother's cards, Cao Yu felt that he was now terrifyingly strong, and that he had lost his mind to become someone else's underling.

Moreover, he would be an undercover agent for the United States or an island nation, and such behavior as a lackey is absolutely impossible.

"Mr. Turtle Egg is young and strong, so his yoga skills must be quite good. Chris, you must be very happy."

Watching Cao Yu's departing figure, Yukiko cheekily hinted to Vermouth that she was an old cow eating young grass.

"No way, look at him, he needs to go to the toilet after drinking two glasses of wine. It's obvious that his kidneys are not good. Being able to be a real man for five seconds is already a record."

Vermouth knew that Cao Yu wasn't going to the restroom, but was rushing to complete a task for the distillery.

"It means that between you and Mr. Turtle Egg..."

Yukiko grasped the key point, rubbing her chopsticks together repeatedly, making a frantic suggestion.

"Screw you, Filipino maids are beneath my notice."

"Hehehe, we're all women, I know what you need."

"There are children here, can't you be a little more mindful of your image?"

"..."

Ran Mouri listened to their conversation and felt a strange pang of sadness welling up inside her.

Unexpectedly, Chris and Cao Yu...

"What a scumbag! He seduced me and then abandoned me!"

What's wrong with me? Am I jealous?

Ran Mouri muttered to herself, her pupils involuntarily contracting slightly.

……

Cao Yu, who had left the private room, soon appeared at the door of private room number 444.

Unsurprisingly, he was stopped by two bodyguards.

"The president instructed that no one is allowed to disturb us."

"I am here on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Kudo to invite Mr. Obama to dinner. Please inform him that we have received his positive reply so I can report back to him."

Cao Yu glanced at the two stern-faced bodyguards, his eyes darting around as he casually rambled on.

Secretly, they were ready to force their way in at any time.

The distillery's mission must be accomplished; no one can save Joseph Obama's life today.

"Okay, wait a moment!"

One of the bodyguards recognized Cao Yu; he had indeed arrived at the club with the Kudo couple. He turned and went into the private room.

After a while.

"The president invites you in for a drink."

The bodyguard came out of the private room and let Cao Yu in.

The room was filled with various electric toys, an open bottle of fine red wine and several wine glasses on the table, as well as exquisite costumes for cosplay.

Joseph, wearing a pair of floral shorts, was sitting on the sofa sipping wine, but the woman who was with him was nowhere to be seen.

"My friend, I am truly sorry, I have some personal matters to attend to and I am afraid I cannot accept the kind invitation from Mr. and Mrs. Kudo."

"Since you're here, have a drink before you leave!"

Upon seeing Cao Yu enter the private room, Joseph Obama stood up, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Cao Yu.

"It seems I've come at the wrong time and have disturbed your enjoyment."

That little foreigner is really showing off his skills!

Taking the glass of wine from Joseph Obama, Cao Yu glanced around the room and instantly understood.

He should be satisfied with being able to go wild one last time before he dies.

"Mr. Obama, you're in great shape. You must exercise regularly."

Cao Yu made a joke and raised his wine glass.

"cheers!"

"A little exercise now and then, cheers!"

After saying this, Joseph Obama raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey friend, wanna hang out?"

Whoops!

Joseph Obama is a true friend; he doesn't mind other men joining him in playing the double-dragon game with his woman.

But Cao Yu was a man who had transcended vulgar tastes and had never been interested in alphabet games.

“Mr. Obama, there is a saying in China: ‘Lust is a knife above one’s head.’ I am a man who values ​​his life. Your woman looks like a widow, so I’d better not touch her.”

Cao Yu put down his wine cup, his eyes turning cold.

"What do you mean?"

Joseph Obama, blinded by lust, was completely unaware that Cao Yu harbored murderous intentions.

"Now that you've had your farewell drink, it's time for you to set off."

Now that the procedures are complete, it's time to get started.

Cao Yu took a knife from the system's inventory and held it to Joseph Obama's neck.

Chapter 44: Mission complete, now just wait to collect the money.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Joseph Obama paused for a moment, then questioned him sharply.

Holy crap!

He remained completely calm even with a knife to his neck; he's definitely someone who's capable of great things, much better than that Carlos guy.

If it weren't for the task assigned by the distillery, Cao Yu would have actually considered befriending Joseph Obama.

"Cao Yu!"

“You’re lying. I’ve seen Cao Yu’s arrest warrant, and the Kudo couple are champions of justice; they would never collude with criminals.”

Joseph Obama was emotional, fearing that his idol might suddenly fall from grace.

In his heart, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were like gods. Due to his love for them, he naturally felt that their friends could never be criminals.

"I understand. You are an assassin sent by the Black Organization who happened to run into the Kudo couple at the door. You are not their friend at all."

Poor fans, even on the verge of death, they're still trying to defend their idols.

Even Ran Mouri could see through the disguise, yet Joseph Obama couldn't, and his self-disclosure was met with skepticism, leaving Cao Yu speechless.

That idiot with a low IQ is no wonder he was wiped out by the winery.

"You guessed right, your reward is a trip to hell."

Cao Yu didn't want to waste too much time; he was in a hurry to get back.

If we delay too long, Kudo Yusaku will inevitably notice something amiss.

"Since there's no escaping it, I'll make you pay with your life."

Knowing he was doomed, Joseph Obama picked up a bottle of liquor from the table and threw it.

At the same time, Cao Yu's knife severed his carotid artery, and blood gushed out.

Snapped!

Joseph Obama threw a bottle that smashed against the door.

"Damn it, I underestimated them!"

Upon hearing the sound, Cao Yu immediately realized that the situation was dire.

The soundproofing in the private room was exceptionally good; if Joseph Obama had called for help directly, the two bodyguards standing outside might not have heard him.

But if a bottle is smashed against the door, it will surely be sensed outside.

Sure enough, before Cao Yu could sheathe his sword, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Sensing danger, he subconsciously triggered his ability to change size at will.

boom!

Whoosh!

The moment Cao Yu shrunk, a gunshot rang out behind him, and a bullet flew over his head, leaving a hole in the wall.

so close!

If 02 hadn't anticipated this, that bullet would have struck his heart.

With the full-health resurrection skill protecting him, Cao Yu wasn't worried about dying any later; his main concern was the pain.

The two bodyguards who entered the private room upon hearing the commotion, holding pistols, stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

A well-dressed young man who is 1.8 meters tall can suddenly transform into a five or six-year-old toddler. It's so surreal that anyone who sees this would have their mind go blank.

Before the two bodyguards could pull the trigger again, Cao Yu preemptively pulled out Judy's pistol and activated the automatic target-locking skill, easily taking them down one by one with each shot.

Then, he returned to his original appearance.

After confirming that the three people in the private room were dead, Cao Yu used the maid outfit on the table to wipe the blade clean and the fingerprints on the wine glass he had touched. After checking that there was no blood on his body, he casually closed the door and left.

Task completed, now I can just sit back and wait to collect my bonus!

……

the other side!

"I admire your courage. Knowing Turtle Egg's true identity, you still dared to keep him by your side."

"Chris, aren't you worried that he has ulterior motives?"

Taking advantage of Cao Yu's excuse to urinate, Yukiko probed him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sigh, what can I do?"

Vermouth sighed and began her Oscar-worthy performance.

His eyes were filled with tears, and his face showed helplessness.

“On the afternoon I returned from Okinawa, he came to my door and threatened that if I didn’t cooperate, he would make me pretend to be a maid and hide for a while, then he would carry out a bombing in Tokyo every day and kidnap me to sell me to a black neighborhood as a prostitute.”

"To prevent me from escaping, he forcibly took my passport. I didn't want to be an accomplice, but you know, given his personality, he's definitely capable of doing what he says."
