Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 144 Judy and Shinde

The next day.

"Ah, Teacher Judy?!"

In front of Kudo Shinichi's house.

Judy Steling, who was wearing a red scarf, was bumped into by Yuanzi who just came out of Xia He's house.

"Um, Sonoko, long time no see." Judy greeted Sonoko with a smile.

"Teacher Judy, I heard from other teachers that you had something going on at home, so did you go back to the United States?" Sonoko asked curiously.

"It's been dealt with, so I came back." Judy replied.

"Will you come back to school to teach in the future?"

"I don't think so. I just came back to take a look. I will go to the United States again in a few days."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Sonoko said with regret: "But speaking of which, Teacher Judy, how come your accent has become much better than before?"

"Ha, haha... maybe it's because my Japanese has improved again." Judy smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, are you here to see Xia He?"

"Yeah, but he doesn't seem to be at home today. I can't get through to him on the phone. I don't know where he went." Yuanzi pouted, "I originally wanted him to accompany me to the Halloween party tonight."

"Maybe you were busy talking business with someone and forgot to charge your phone?"

"maybe."

The two chatted for a while, and after exchanging contact information, Sonoko hurried to the Mouri Detective Agency to do makeup for Mouri Kogoro.

Judy still stood there, looking at Sonoko's back meaningfully until she disappeared on the side of the road. Then she looked around again, took out her key, and entered the Kudo family's residence.

……

"Kudo Shinichi", also known as Hattori Heiji, who was dressed up as a mummy, handed in the invitation letter and signed his name. As soon as he got on the ship, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took out a Bluetooth headset, put it on his left ear, and said "Hello".

Then Xia He's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gin and Vodka should be on that ship. Try not to conflict with them. If you encounter danger, tear off your disguise immediately to save your life."

"Hey, Xia He, you look down on me too much, don't you? After all, I am the champion of the Kansai Regional Kendo Tournament."

"It's the team champion." Xia He corrected.

Hattori Heiji: “.”

"The individual competition hasn't started yet. Wait a few months, and when the individual competition starts, I will definitely win the championship again."

Hattori Heiji thought to himself, unless a monster like you comes to participate in the competition, who else among all the students in Japan can be his opponent?

"Okay, it's up to you."

Xia He didn't say much and hung up the phone.

At the same time, Sonoko, dressed as a witch, and Mouri Kogoro, who looked like a vampire, passed by. Hattori Heiji immediately put away his phone and followed them quietly.

……

The scene switches to Dr. Agasa's house.

Haibara Ai and Judy, disguised as Xia He and Conan, are now sitting on the sofa, waiting for a call from Dr. Shinde.

The professor and Kinoshita, who were originally supposed to stay at home to take care of Haibara Ai, were arranged by Xia He to stay in a hotel under the Suzuki Group at noon today.

After about ten minutes.

The landline phone in the living room rang just as Xia He expected.

As expected.

"Hello, is this Ai? I heard that your cold hasn't healed, so I contacted a doctor I know. The equipment there is much better than the nearby clinics, but he's going on a business trip soon. Are you free tonight? If you are, I'll drive over to pick you up now..." The voice of Tomoaki Aida came from the phone.

……

Vermouth, disguised as Dr. Shinde, drove to Dr. Agasa's house immediately after receiving a positive response from Haibara Ai.

On the way, while waiting for the traffic light, Vermouth took out a few photos from the document bag in the co-pilot seat. They were the scenes when Judy appeared in front of the door of Kudo Shinichi's family and talked with Sonoko.

"Is this woman really Judy?"

Was it Bourbon who betrayed the organization?

Or is it someone else pretending to be him?
She thought in her mind.

But putting this aside, she was also very clear at the moment that the process of picking up Haibara Ai this time would definitely not be particularly smooth.

"We can't let the FBI take Shirley away..."

Even if she is killed, the formula of drug A must not fall into the hands of others.

Two minutes later, the green light came on.

Vermouth stepped on the accelerator, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

……

Half an hour later.

Dr. A Li's house.

When the car driven by Vermouth just turned the intersection, Judy had already driven towards the main road with Haibara Ai in front of Vermouth.

Upon seeing this, Vermouth immediately sped up to catch up, and at the same time made a phone call to ask the sniper who had been waiting at the dock to be ready.

As for why she knew that Judy would take Huiyuan Ai to the ferry terminal in Beika Town...

This was because she had previously installed a bug in Dr. Agasa's house.

Not only the one in the Beetle, but also the one under the sofa in the living room, in addition to the underground laboratory.

She had already learned from the conversation between Judy and Haibara Ai that the other party wanted to lure her to the dock.

Therefore, Vermouth, who had arranged a sniper in advance, was so confident at this moment and chose to step into the opponent's trap.

"I want to see what tricks you can come up with..."

A "beautiful" smile appeared on his fair and handsome face.

The vehicle followed closely behind Judy.

In just fifteen minutes, two cars drove into the dock one after another.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Judy tightened the scarf around her neck, got off the car first, and looked at "Tomoaki Aride" with a puzzled look.

Vermouth unbuckled her seatbelt and replied in the voice of Dr. Akai: "What are you talking about? Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? What exactly do you want to do by bringing that child here?"

"I just wanted to take her for a ride on the river."

Judy sat on the trunk, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at Vermouth with a playful expression, "A secret makes a woman woman... Do you still remember this sentence? This was the last sentence you left for me."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Vermouth continued to look confused.

"Don't play dumb anymore, Chris Wynyard. You must be the one who killed my father, right?"

Judy said bluntly.
