Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Following Vermouth into the living room, Cao Yu yawned and reminded her.

"Most banks in Tokyo offer foreign currency exchange services. You're not a three-year-old; you're capable of handling it yourself. As for when you'll be allowed to visit the headquarters, I'm sorry, I cannot say."

"..."

Cao Yu was speechless for a moment, feeling like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind.

Without obtaining crucial information, it's a waste of breath.

With the mission of eliminating Akemi Miyano in hand, it can be considered a small gain.

Cao Yu went to the bathroom and slowly washed up, his mind constantly pondering how to secretly rescue Miyano Akemi without the winery's notice.

Upon closer reflection, it's quite tricky.

In the world of Detective Conan, the Black Organization's intelligence network is not to be underestimated, and Cao Yu couldn't think of a perfect solution for the time being.

"The mission won't be carried out for another three days. For now, we just need to keep an eye on Miyano Akemi. Calm down, take it slow, and I'm sure I can come up with a solution."

Cao Yu dried himself off and left the bathroom, muttering to himself.

By the time he returned to the living room, Vermouth had just hung up the phone.

"The funding for this mission is five thousand US dollars, and Gin has already had Vodka transfer it to your account."

"Oh, I see!"

Cao Yu nodded and went into the bedroom to change his clothes.

Now that the funding for the operation has been approved, let's get started on the mission.

I'll also get a bank card to exchange some of my US dollars for Japanese yen, so it'll be more convenient when I need to use it.

"Little darling, would you like to go out for a stroll with your husband?"

Before leaving, Cao Yu couldn't resist teasing Vermouth.

"Go to hell, I'm a big star, being with you would damage my image."

Vermouth rolled her eyes and grabbed a cushion from the sofa, throwing it at him.

"So what if you're a big star? I can still ride a horse like a bastard."

"Fuck off!"

"Tch, menopausal women are easily angered."

"..."

Bang!

A moment later, Vermouth kicked Cao Yu out of the villa and slammed the door shut.

……

Mihua Bank Plaza!

The young man in the black jacket hunched his neck in his collar, raised his hand to pull down his baseball cap, which almost completely covered his face, and his shifty eyes scanned the passersby.

He quickly found his target.

An elderly woman with a cane walked out of the bank, her other hand tightly clutching a bulging black leather bag, most likely indicating that she had just withdrawn a large sum of cash.

Upon seeing this, the young man quickly stepped forward, snatched the bag from the old woman's hand, and ran away.

"Robbery! Catch the robber! That's my old man's life-saving money..."

Despite the old woman's helpless cries, passersby seemed oblivious, continuing with their own business with remarkable composure, showing no intention of joining in the commotion.

Every day, bizarre murders unfold at the Rice Flower Grand Stage.

Robbery is nothing to locals.

Moreover, burning, killing, and looting have long been ingrained in the genes of the island nation. They are used to people being robbed. Instead of meddling in other people's business, they would rather brag and joke around.

Suddenly, a woman dressed in a professional pencil skirt, looking very capable, blocked the young man's path.

Swish!

The young man showed no mercy and pulled out a dagger to stab her.

The woman dodged to the side, then executed a classic Maori over-the-shoulder throw, bringing the young man to the ground.

"You bitch, you dare to meddle in other people's business? I think you're tired of living."

The frustrated young man whistled, and his three accomplices, who were hiding nearby, quickly surrounded him.

Looking at the gleaming daggers in the hands of the four men, the woman couldn't help but feel a chill.

With her skills, she could barely handle two petty thieves.

But the number of robbers in front of her had doubled, and they were all armed. Knowing that her chances of winning were slim, the woman had no choice but to fight back.

The next second, the four robbers launched their attack.

As the woman dodged, she tripped one of the robbers, while the other robber's dagger was less than two inches from her kidney, making it impossible for her to dodge.

Just when she was in despair, a handsome and charming man made a dazzling appearance, launching a series of beautiful kicks that instantly brought the three robbers to the ground, resolving the woman's crisis.

Seeing that they were no match for the robbers, the four men had no choice but to drop the stolen bag and flee in a panic.

"Grandma, here's your bag!"

The woman picked up the bag from the ground and handed it to the old woman.

"Thank you so much for stopping the robber. If this money had been stolen, it could have endangered the life of my old man who is lying in a hospital bed. I don't know how I can ever repay your great kindness."

"It was nothing, Mother-in-law, don't worry about it."

"If it's convenient, please leave your address, Miss. Once the old man recovers, I will definitely bring him to visit and express my gratitude."

"I'm so sorry, I'm just a tourist passing by. Goodbye!"

The woman told a white lie and turned to look at the man who had just saved her.

"Thank you for earlier..."

She had only spoken halfway when the woman realized that the man in front of her looked very familiar.

"You are... who was it again? I'm sure I've seen you somewhere before."

"Cao Yu, Attorney Eri Kisaki should have seen the previous arrest warrant, right?"

The man remained calm and stated his name.

Cao Yu recognized the woman at a glance by her light blue women's work uniform with a dark purple pullover underneath, her blue eyes, and her slightly curly hair tied in a signature bun.

When Cao Yu escaped from the detention center, he swore to take revenge on Conan the four-eyed boy.

Now that he has already won over Ran Mouri and Yukiko, wouldn't it be even more perfect if he could also win over his future mother-in-law through this chance encounter?

"Yes, yes, yes, it's an arrest warrant!"

Upon hearing the reminder, Eri Kisaki instantly realized what was going on.

But she never dreamed that the handsome young man who had stepped in to help her was actually Cao Yu, the man who had escaped from the detention center and turned Tokyo upside down.

"Knowing I'm a wanted criminal, aren't you afraid?"

Cao Yu looked at Fei Yingli, who had a surprised expression, and asked with a smile.

To be precise, he used to be a wanted criminal.

Since the island nation's police withdrew the arrest warrant, no one cares who Cao Yu is anymore; he looks just like Mr. Liu, a kind-hearted citizen, when he walks down the street.

Because in Mihua, you can find a lot of criminals just by looking around.

That's why he dared to go out without pretending.

"Why be afraid? I think you're a good person. If everyone could be like you, daring to fight against evil forces when they encounter injustice, the crime rate in this island nation would drop by at least 50%."

"Besides, there are doubts about your case. The police follow the principle of presumption of innocence and have already withdrawn the arrest warrant."

"I do have a question, and since we've met by chance, I'd like to ask you to answer it."

Eri smiled slightly, and she was quite charming.

"What questions do you have? I will answer them to the best of my ability."

Cao Yu was so pleased by Fei Yingli's flattery that he agreed without a second thought.

In fact, his act of saving people was not out of a sense of justice.

Instead, he saw a beautiful woman being beaten up from afar and thought about playing the hero and creating a romantic encounter.

It just so happens that Eri Kisaki was the one who was saved.

He would have helped any other woman as well.

"There are rumors that the bombing of the Metropolitan Police Department building was your doing, but the police have not disclosed any details of the case so far. I think it's to save face, or perhaps because they lack evidence."

"Mr. Cao Yu, did you really commit that bombing?"

"If it's inconvenient for you, you can refuse to answer."

Eri Kisaki's actions were purely out of curiosity and had absolutely nothing to do with the island nation's police.

Furthermore, as the undefeated queen of the legal world, getting inside information is a piece of cake for her. The so-called rumors are clearly the attitude of the island nation's police.

But Cao Yu wasn't stupid. If he refused to answer Fei Yingli, he would not only be suspected of tacitly agreeing, but he would also kill the conversation.

Fishing for clams requires patience.

"Truth and falsehood are like looking through a fog. It's not the first time those guys in the Metropolitan Police Department have wronged people. Since they insist on pinning the blame on me, what can I, an ordinary citizen, do?"

Cao Yu feigned helplessness, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

It wasn't that he was afraid to admit he had bombed the Metropolitan Police Department building, but rather that he didn't want to confess to Eri Kisaki yet.

To take down the righteous and righteous legal bigwig, playing innocent is the only way to continue.

Being too direct and honest can easily kill a conversation.

"That's true. For example, there were quite a few suspicious points in that previous case..."

As Fei Yingli spoke, she took out her phone and handed it to Cao Yu.

"Would you mind exchanging contact information? Maybe I can help you out if we encounter something similar again, for free."

Hooked!

Looking at the phone that Eri Fei handed him, Cao Yu did not rush to agree.

Such an easy woman to flirt with, wouldn't playing hard to get make her fall for you?

“Attorney Fei, I don’t want to have a similar experience again.”

"Forgive my carelessness. 'Born to be involved in officialdom, died to be involved in hell,' I'm afraid no one wants to get involved in legal trouble. So, let's exchange contact information. How about we grab a drink sometime?"

Eri realized that her explanation was inappropriate, so she apologized and changed her reason.

“Okay, you can set the time. I’m available anytime.”

As Cao Yu took Fei Yingli's phone, he handed over his own phone.

The two then exchanged phone numbers.

With Cao Yu's intelligence, he could naturally see why Fei Yingli insisted on leaving her contact information; it was simply to thank him for saving him earlier.

Do you give without expecting anything in return?

To hell with it, Cao Yu didn't consider himself that noble; on the contrary, he preferred to help others achieve their goals.

Since Eri is interested, there's always a way to get her to reciprocate.

"See you next time, bye-bye!"

Eri put away her phone and turned to walk towards Mika Bank.

When fate brings us together, nothing can stop it; I never imagined we'd be on the same path!

"Attorney Fei, we meet again."

Are you going to the bank too?

Fei Yingli turned her head to look at Cao Yu who had come to her side, and subconsciously frowned. She secretly suspected that he was deliberately creating a chance encounter and that he must have ulterior motives.
