Chapter 524: Shiho and Vermouth's First Confrontation (I)

Judy's reason for coming to Teitan to teach was simple: first, to find a reasonable identity for herself to stay in Japan and not attract attention;

The second is to investigate Shimizu Koji and the warm-hearted man in front of him with a smile and a sunny face, Tomoaki Aride.

However, the investigation of Shimizu Koji had barely begun when it was interrupted by Shuichi Akai, who had learned the news. Judy still remembered that when Shuichi Akai came to her house a week or two ago, his cold, almost unfamiliar face...

"This is my personal matter, I hope you won't interfere."

After saying this, Shuichi Akai turned around and was about to leave, but fortunately, he still gave her a little warmth in the end.

"If you want to help me, you can go investigate that new doctor."

Shuichi Akai doesn't believe in intuition, but he is very sensitive to Dr. Shinde, who suddenly appeared next to Koji Shimizu and even visited Koji Shimizu's house.

When he paid a little attention, he found that Niide Tomoaki, who was almost thirty years old, had lost all his relatives in just half a year, and had been missing for several days.

This made it difficult for him not to notice Tomoaki Aride, but he was too tightly controlled by Gin and would be attacked as soon as he showed his head. His disguise skills might fool the FBI himself, but they were completely useless for fooling his old buddy Gin and those members of the organization who were hiding their identities and code names somewhere.

Therefore, Judy, who happened to be teaching at Teitan, became the best choice to investigate Vermouth.

Shuichi Akai also told Judy some key information. After hearing about the family changes that Tomoaki Arata had experienced in the past six months, Judy relied on her keen intuition to identify Dr. Arata as Vermouth, the Witch of a Thousand Faces.

In order not to alert the enemy, Judy did not choose to contact Dr. Arata directly. It was not until today that she met Dr. Arata face to face.

But before she had time to think about how to maximize the "results" of this encounter, she turned around and saw the boy who Shuichi Akai had expressly forbidden to investigate appear.

For a moment, Judy's mood was very complicated. She had originally chosen Koji Shimizu as her classroom assistant, but after Shuichi Akai's warning, Koji Shimizu's assistant identity was in name only.

Although Judy was extremely curious about Koji Shimizu, she was willing to believe that Shuichi must have his reasons for doing this.

"Hello, Mr. Judy and Mr. Shinde."

The place where the few people met happened to be a relatively remote corner of the corridor, which was the only way to the health room, so there were still very few people passing by here today.

Koji Shimizu was the first to greet the two of them, and at the same time he quietly touched Haibara Ai's head, hoping to calm her down and make her less nervous and obvious.

This is Vermouth, a woman he cannot see through. Although Haibara Ai is dressed as Conan, if she attracts Vermouth's attention, she will be unlucky...

Hmm? Vermouth doesn't seem to do anything to Kudo Shinichi, but if she finds out that Conan is a smaller Kudo Shinichi, she will probably quickly figure out that Shiho, who disappeared from the gas chamber out of thin air, also took drug A to become smaller.

That wouldn't work. Unless necessary, Koji Shimizu didn't want to confront Vermouth head-on before he knew her full background.

Killing Vermouth is a piece of cake for him now, but it is difficult to find a good leader like Vermouth who is beautiful, gentle, sexy, considerate, cares about him, and will take the initiative to take credit for him and allow him to make progress even when lying down.

"Good morning, Shimizu-san. Who is...?"

"Ah, he is a relative of my neighbor. He might be a little shy..."

As Shimizu Koji was speaking, his tone became sluggish. Vermouth played the role of Dr. Shinde very well. Before Shimizu Koji finished speaking, he had already squatted down with a gentle smile and reached out to touch Haibara Ai's head...

Haibara Ai didn't move at all, like a wooden man, her eyes were lifeless, with only deep darkness representing the strongest fear in her heart.

"Um, little friend?" Doctor Shinide had not noticed anything unusual. After all, this was a child taken care of by Shimizu Koji. But as soon as he greeted her, Haibara Ai hugged Shimizu Koji's thighs like a little girl and hid behind him.

This is no longer something to be afraid of...

"Is he...unwell?"

Dr. Shinde smiled awkwardly, but still asked with concern.

Meanwhile, Judy, who had said hello but remained silent, suddenly felt dazed as she watched this scene, as if she saw herself and Vermouth when they were little...

That haunting, nightmarish memory...

"Shimizu-san, why don't you take this child with me back to the infirmary—"

"No! Oh no, I mean, maybe this kid just wants to find his parents?"

Judy suddenly screamed, which scared Shimizu Koji and Vermouth who were flirting with each other.

While Judy was hurriedly explaining, she couldn't help but give Shimizu Koji a few glances.

Koji Shimizu looked at teacher Judy, who seemed a little anxious and flustered. His expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly concerned in his heart.

Is Judy hinting that he should take Ai away immediately?

If it were an ordinary student, or Xiaolan and Guanzi, they might understand Judy's gesture as the beautiful English teacher wanting the sunny and warm-hearted Dr. Arata to have a campus romance. But for Koji Shimizu, who still shares the same hatred of Vermouth so far, it is hard not to be suspicious of her action.

In particular, Judy is an English teacher from the United States.

Vermouth did not notice the look that Judy secretly gave to Koji Shimizu, but she also noticed Judy's strange behavior. However, thinking of her current disguise, Vermouth said that it was understandable.

After feeling helplessly proud and confident about her charm and disguise skills for a second, she turned to look at Shimizu Koji and received his reply.

"Well, I hope I won't cause any trouble to you, Mr. Shinde...hiss..."

Koji Shimizu was also quite helpless. He and Vermouth were open accomplices. No matter if it was Judy's hint or Ai secretly pinching his thigh, he couldn't just turn around and leave.

Huiyuan Ai's reaction was too strange and too obviously intense. She even had the nerve to pinch him! If she hadn't behaved so abnormally, it would have been easy for Shimizu Koji to tell Vermouth to get lost!

Damn Shiho, just get shot when you get back.

I have to wipe your butt again today!
