Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 506 Miyano Elena

Beika Town, 5-chome 39, Mori Detective Agency.

Kitahara Natsuhiro brought Ai and Vermouth here and took out a key to open the restaurant door.

The restaurant has been closed for several days.

Since attending the ceremony for the Tokiwa Zaibatsu's twin tower skyscrapers, the business has been closed.

As for the reason, it's because the restaurant's all-around manager, Nagashiro, had a minor accident, so it has been closed until now.

Kitahara Natsuyu simply gave the store's employees a long vacation, so they didn't have to come to work temporarily, but their wages would still be paid.

All I can say is that a boss as good as him is truly hard to find even with a lantern.

However, in this world of Detective Conan, it can be very dangerous if you treat your employees badly, especially since the company president is very likely to be killed.

Therefore, Kitahara Natsuhiro gave him a particularly generous amount of money to prevent Azusa and Amuro from causing him trouble.

Of course, this is a joke.

Closer to home.

Kitahara Natsuhiro came here to take the meat from the refrigerator back, braise it, and then finish it off.

After all, Amuro Tooru hadn't anticipated that his part-time job would become so difficult, so there was still a lot of food in the refrigerator, mostly frozen, so it wasn't a big problem; it could be eaten after thawing.

However, it was still early, so he planned to get it done at the shop and take it home later.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I've been here," Ai said, looking at the tables and chairs in the shop with a touch of nostalgia.

Before this, she would work at this place with her sister every day after get off work.

However, now that the "King of Hired Managers" has temporarily run away, she can no longer work with her sister.

But we can still stick them together at night.

"It's been several days."

Kitahara Natsuhiro did a rough calculation and realized that it wasn't actually a few days, but rather several months or even years.

Because the month has been changing over the past few days.

But now he doesn't care about such things anymore. Let them change as they please, I'll just go to work, it doesn't really concern me.

At most, you can add clothes when it's cold and take them off when it's hot. It's that simple.

"Amuro Tooru got a little injured and is still recovering." Vermouth took out a tissue to wipe the stool, then sat down, leaned back in the chair, crossed her legs, and took out a cigarette from her pocket to light one.

"And it seems that FBI agent James has been arrested by Amuro Tooru."

Hearing this, Ai asked in surprise, "Is the Japanese Public Security Bureau finally going to take action against those FBI guys? Has Shuichi Akai been arrested yet?"

If she could, she would most like to see Shuichi Akai arrested.

Don't ask, it's just a personal grudge.

Even if Shuichi Akai is related to them, it doesn't matter.

After all, Shuichi Akai didn't care about family ties, so they cared even less.

You should know that kinship ties will gradually disappear if one or two generations don't continue, and then people will become like strangers.

The Miyano sisters and Shuichi Akai's family are a case in point.

Although Sera Mary and Miyano Elena are sisters, one married and moved to London to become an MI6 agent, while the other stayed in Japan to get married and have children.

In their time, transportation and communication were not as convenient, so the two naturally had less contact.

Furthermore, since Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano died young, their kinship naturally ended.

By the time this kinship was re-established, Shuichi Akai had already exhausted his use of Akemi Miyano.

Therefore, their kinship is now merely nominal.

Of course, Ai and Akemi Miyano were only targeting Shuichi Akai. Sera Mary and Sera Masumi were still good people, and they were also persecuted by the Black Organization.

So they still have things in common.

"No!" Vermouth exhaled a smoke ring and said calmly, "Shuichi Akai is hiding behind the scenes right now, how could he possibly show his face? Tooru Amuro wants to catch him, but he can't catch him at all."

"Even if Amuro Tooru found out Akai Shuichi's location from James, it's too late now; he's already run away."

"This guy is a master at running away!"

Back when he was in the organization, Shuichi Akai slipped away right under their noses in this way; otherwise, he would have been killed long ago and wouldn't be alive now.

However, Shuichi Akai's situation is not good now, and it's even worse than before.

It can be said that evil people will be punished by evil people.

And Kitahara Natsuhiro is that villain!
“But you shouldn’t ask me about Shuichi Akai’s current situation, you should ask this guy instead!” Vermouth exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Kitahara Natsuhiro, who had already appeared in the kitchen.

Ai followed the gaze and looked over.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuyu was taking things out of the freezer in the back kitchen, then boiling water to blanch them, then adding some braising spices, and then braising them together.

This process takes about two hours, but it's faster if you use will-o'-the-wisps.

However, there's still plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

Because once these things are done, it will be no more than six or seven o'clock when I get back, so there's plenty of time.

"Akai Shuichi, that guy is still hiding in the dark room, afraid to show his face outside, but he has been moved now, and Amuro Tooru has come up empty-handed!" Kitahara Natsuyu told Ai about Akai Shuichi's situation while doing what he was doing.

He had been keeping an eye on Shuichi Akai and Tooru Amuro all along.

After all, these two guys are sworn enemies.

But now, Shuichi Akai, his nemesis, has been crippled and is no longer able to compete with Tooru Amuro.

Unless Shuichi Akai can break free from the influence of the dream created by Natsuhiro Kitahara, he will be confined to crawling and twisting in dark rooms for the rest of his life.

However, the dream he created was not so simple; after all, it was a dream created by Gengar, not just any ordinary dream.

Of course, Kitahara Natsuhiro did not continue to guide this dream.

Even so, Shuichi Akai couldn't get over it.

"Amuro Tooru really went to see Shuichi Akai!"

Ai looked excited, took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the stool, and sat down, though she was a bit far from Vermouth.

She didn't want to be too close to Vermouth, and she didn't like the smell of cigarettes.

Vermouth looked at Sherry and gave a disdainful laugh.

Little Shirley, you gotta handle her!

Sherry glared back without hesitation. After all, Kitahara Natsumi was there, so she wasn't afraid of Vermouth at all, especially since this wasn't within the organization.

We can always have another argument.

It's limited to arguing; she's not that violent when it comes to fighting.

In reality, Sherry couldn't beat Vermouth.

After all, Vermouth had been in the organization for so many years and had even earned the reputation of the Thousand-Faced Witch.

Putting aside her disguise skills, her fighting ability is also top-notch. Even when facing a tall and strong man, she can kill him with a single blow.

In the original story, Sera Mary, whose body had shrunk, knocked out an adult with a single move, while Vermouth, who had not shrunk and was stronger, did so even more easily.

"Yeah, we excitedly gathered a whole bunch of people, but we didn't get anything. In the end, we got so angry that we smashed up the house!" Kitahara Natsuyu couldn't help but burst into laughter as he said this.

There was nothing that Amuro Tooru could do; he was never able to escape the shadow of the death of his close friend, Morofushi Kagemitsu.

Although he now knows the truth—that it was suicide to protect him and his family, and that he even shot through his phone to prevent anyone from seeing the information inside—he still managed to do so.

However, Shuichi Akai was present at the time, and if it weren't for him, Hiromitsu Morofushi would never have died.

So Amuro Tooru still hates Akai Shuichi.

These things are hard to explain, after all, it was your closest friend who died, not a stranger!

"I never expected that the usually calm Amuro Tooru would do something like this." Ai laughed. "It seems he really hates Akai Shuichi!"

“Yes.” Kitahara Natsuyu nodded, then suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but laugh: “By the way, do you know who Amuro Tooru’s first love was?”

He never mentioned this, not even to Akemi Miyano.

Since it happened twenty years ago, there's no need to talk about it now.

After all, one of the parties involved, Elena Miyano, is already dead.

"who is it?"

Ai and Vermouth both said in unison.

They are quite interested in this kind of gossip.

"Be prepared." Kitahara Natsuyu looked over from the kitchen and then at Ai: "This has something to do with you, Ai."

"Me? Could it be that Amuro Tooru's first love was my older sister?"

"No, not your sister, but your mother!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro made a startling statement.

Upon hearing Kitahara Natsuhiro's words, Ai was shocked, and Vermouth was equally surprised.

Vermouth truly never expected that Bourbon, with his blonde hair and seemingly cold demeanor, would actually fall for Elena Miyano, the woman known as the Angel of Hell.

That really caught us off guard!

The same applies to Ai Haibara.

However, she was much less surprised than Vermouth because she had never met her father and mother, and her memories of them were all from her sister and from photos, so she didn't know what her mother was like.

But according to her sister's description, her mother was a very gentle person.

However, Amuro Tooru was not mentioned in the older sister's description.

Perhaps my sister knew something but deliberately didn't say it, or perhaps she had already forgotten about it!
Although Amuro Tooru and Miyano Akemi played together when they were young, they soon parted ways.

After that, Elena Miyano, along with her husband and daughter, joined Karasuma Renya's group to develop drugs.

Ai was born around that time.

However, not long after Ai was born, Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano were burned to death in an accidental fire.

From then on, Akemi Miyano took care of the children until Ai was taken to America.

"Really? Bourbon actually likes a woman like Elena Miyano?" Vermouth took a deep drag on her cigarette to suppress her shock.

Well, it turns out that Bourbon, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has a mother complex.

If she remembered correctly, Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano joined the organization when Akemi Miyano was six or seven years old.

Bourbon must have been around ten years old at that time.

To fall in love with Elena Miyano at around ten years old, Bourbon was simply too precocious.

But why this guy would like Elena Miyano is something Vermouth really can't figure out.

In her mind, Elena Miyano was a crazy woman, and people in the organization called her an angel who had fallen to hell.

Despite having an angelic appearance and personality, she does things like a demon, and in a very crazy way.

That's why he got that nickname.

This is enough to show what kind of person she is.

I never expected that Bourbon would like him.

Before joining the organization, Elena Miyano was indeed very gentle. In addition, due to some family connections, Bourbon fell in love with Elena Miyano.
“Really!” Kitahara Natsuyu explained while preparing the ingredients, “Amuro Tooru became a policeman in order to find his first love who disappeared without a word, namely Miyano Elena.”

Upon hearing this, Vermouth couldn't help but look at Ai, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

What kind of magic does Elena Miyano possess that has captivated Bourbon to the point of obsession, even driving him to seek her out after he becomes a policeman?

Upon hearing this, Ai couldn't help but cover her cheeks, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

It's unbelievable that my mom managed to completely bewitch a little boy twenty years ago.
However, she really wanted to see her mother now, because from her sister's words she only had a vague understanding of what kind of person her mother was.

She wanted to truly understand her mother.

But my mother and father had already died in that inexplicable fire.

"Vermouth, I'm asking you, what does my parents' death have to do with you?" Ai took a deep breath and looked at Vermouth, speaking in a low voice.

Vermouth wasn't surprised by Sherry's question; in fact, she felt Sherry should have asked it a long time ago.

Perhaps he was too afraid of her!
However, this time Vermouth didn't say anything sarcastic; instead, she revealed a faint look of reminiscence.

"Actually, I really wanted to kill Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano back then, but I didn't have the chance."

"The security level at their base is extremely high. Even I can't come and go as I please unless I get orders from the boss."

"But under these circumstances, a fire broke out in this heavily guarded base, and the two most important scientists were burned to death."

"Don't you find that strange!"

Even she found it strange!
