Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

"Where does your confidence come from, daring to fight me to the death? It's laughable!"

"In my eyes, you're nothing more than a pet."

"Bark like a dog, did you hear me?"

What good is impotent rage?

Cao Yu stepped on Yukiko's face with one foot, showing absolutely no mercy.

Pets need to be properly trained.

A dog that bites its owner is not a good dog.

"No, kill me if you dare!"

Yukiko struggled, stubbornly refusing to give in.

"The suggestion is good, but I won't take it!"

"It would be such a waste to kill you like this. Where am I going to find a leading lady as professional and beautiful as you in the future?"

Although Cao Yu was furious, he never intended to take Yukiko's life.

It can still be used after some adjustments, so there's absolutely no need to waste it.

"You filthy scoundrel, you pervert, ptooey!"

Yukiko stared wide-eyed, resolutely refusing to bark like a dog.

"Quite unique, not bad!"

"You've already witnessed my ability to change size at will. Now I'll test your limits."

Cao Yu dragged Yukiko to the sofa and threw her there, once again showing off the abilities of the bio-engineered demon.

We'll see if Yukiko's stubbornness prevails or his abilities are stronger.

"Stop! I'm going to burst!"

Yukiko felt that her body had reached its limit and was in danger of being torn apart at any moment.

Death is not scary, but dying in this way will completely ruin her image as a pure and beautiful young girl.

"If you want me to stop, you can do it by barking like a dog first."

Cao Yu forced Yukiko to submit, increasing the force of his blows as he spoke.

Chapter 53 Vermouth's Bottom Line

"Woof woof!"

Yukiko was on the verge of collapse and ultimately chose to compromise.

Cute dog!

Cao Yu smiled with satisfaction, but he did not give up on punishing Yukiko.

Now that we've started, we have to stick with it to the end.

Giving up halfway is just asking for trouble.

After one hour!

The punishment finally ended, and Yukiko, who had suffered unimaginable pain, turned as pale as snow.

Cao Yu glanced at her as if she were trash, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

Cool!

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from inside.

"Oh no, it must be Chris, if—if she sees this..."

Yukiko was startled and quickly got up to tidy up her appearance, trying her best to look as disheveled as possible.

She no longer dared to hope of getting the videotape back, fearing that angering Cao Yu would implicate her best friend and cause her to suffer.

"Um... could you help me cover this up later?"

"Oh?"

Cao Yu turned his head and saw a pleading look in Yukiko's eyes.

"If Chris asks, I'll explain that I came to ask you for advice on flower arranging. Please don't expose me, okay?"

Time was of the essence, and Yukiko couldn't think of a better reason.

During a casual chat at the club, Cao Yu mentioned that he was skilled in flower arranging, which is a perfect excuse to use now.

"no problem!"

As soon as Cao Yu finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

"Yukiko, what's wrong with you...?"

His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and there was a little bit of unidentified liquid left at the corner of his mouth; he looked abnormal.

Vermouth was quite surprised when she entered the house, and she vaguely guessed what had happened.

Judging from the sunken sofa cushions and the pillows that had fallen to the floor, the fight just now must have been quite intense.

"I came here to ask Gou Dan for advice on flower arranging. We've already had a pretty good exchange, and I'm going home to try it out based on his experience."

Yukiko, feeling guilty, avoided Vermouth's gaze.

"is it?"

Vermouth clearly didn't believe it.

Flower arrangement?

Who knows if it's chrysanthemums or morning glories stuck in there!

"I'm leaving now. Let's go shopping together again next time."

Yukiko felt uneasy under Vermouth's gaze, grabbed her bag from the ground, and fled the villa as if her life depended on it.

After watching Yukiko leave, Vermouth looked at Cao Yu, who was smoking.

Did you enjoy arranging the flowers?

"Yeah, so-so."

Cao Yu stubbed out his cigarette and licked his lips.

Soft and delicious, it's worth savoring.

"It's one thing to find other women behind my back, but to bring them home and make a mess of the living room? Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth pulled out her small pistol, loaded it, and aimed it at Cao Yu's groin.

"Isn't Yukiko your best friend? Besides, our relationship is purely transactional, there's no romantic feeling between us."

Cao Yu remained completely calm.

After being modified by the Bio-Mage's skills and attributes, his body is now immune to gunshots.

"Haha, so what?"

"If you bring another woman home behind my back again, I'll accidentally fire my gun and ruin your ugly thing."

Bang!

Vermouth fired a shot at the ceiling.

"Is it really necessary? I just made a mistake that all men make, and besides, the opportunity was specially arranged by you the night before last. Are you going back on your word so quickly?"

"It's no big deal if I'm missing a part, but don't you think about your future happiness?"

Cao Yu didn't care at all, joking around with a grin.

"Once you step out of this door, you can do whatever you want, I can't stop you; but once you step through this door, this is my territory, and I will not allow any other woman to defile it."

"Okay, I'll be more careful next time!"

Cao Yu grabbed Vermouth's gun-wielding hand and forcefully pulled her into his arms.

"What are you girls doing playing with guns? Put them away, I'll let you play with a big eagle instead."

……

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon fly by!

Before they knew it, it was the day before the billion yen robbery.

It was midnight at a mass grave on the outskirts of Beika Town.

"Boss, is that kid trying to trick us? He agreed to pick up the goods at midnight, but he's nowhere to be seen. Are we going to have to wait forever?"

"Don't worry about it. We've already received a deposit, so whether that kid comes to pick up the goods or not, we're guaranteed to make a profit. Let's wait another twenty minutes. If he doesn't come, we'll take the goods and find another buyer."

"Meeting in this place is really creepy. Third brother, share some of the wine you brought with me to give me some courage."

"..."

Three men sat on the ground chatting. Behind them was a wooden box that looked more like a coffin, just big enough to fit a person.

··Requesting 0 flowers····

Crack!

The sound of a dead tree breaking came, and the three of them immediately became alert.

Looking up, under the bright moonlight, a white figure appeared not far ahead.

"Boss, doesn't that look like a ghost?"

"You big idiot, learn from the third brother and be a little calmer."

The team leader glared at the second-in-command, stood up, and turned on the hazard lights with his flashlight.

If the person who comes is a buyer, they will naturally recognize the agreed-upon code.

Upon seeing the flash of light, the figure indeed quickened its pace and walked towards the three of them.

"Dude, I've been waiting for you!"

When they finally saw the faces of the newcomers, the three who had been waiting for so long were incredibly excited.

"I'm so sorry, I ran into a little trouble and kept you waiting."

"Where's the goods?"

The buyer was none other than Cao Yu in disguise, a young man.

His prolonged battle with Vermouth nearly caused him to miss the deal, almost jeopardizing a major event.

"The goods are right here!"

"Second brother, third brother, open the lid and let the buyer inspect the goods."

Wow!

Two men, one on each side, opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing a corpse inside. Judging from the livor mortis, the time of death was no more than forty-eight hours.

Mihua Grand Stage is never short of talent!

Those three men were involved in the business of selling corpses. Cao Yu went to great lengths to make contact with them through Elder Hua.

Is the source of the goods safe?

The corpse in the wooden box was female. Although she was plain-looking, her figure was similar to that of Miyano Akemi, which perfectly matched Cao Yu's requirements.

"Our reputation in the industry is top-notch, and the source of our goods is absolutely safe. The deceased was a homeless nightclub worker who was terminally ill and treated as an experimental subject in the hospital for half a year. She died yesterday evening."

“I have informants in the hospital who have already found out her identity. I guarantee she won’t cause you any trouble.”

What a conscientious little team!

Actually, Cao Yu wasn't afraid of getting into trouble, but rather worried that if something went wrong, it would attract the attention of the police and the winery, ruining his entire plan.

"make a deal!"

Cao Yu took out an envelope containing the final payment.

After receiving the money, the three men closed the wooden crate, shut the truck, and, following Cao Yu's instructions, delivered the goods to destination four.
