Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Shiraishi Xiu smiled, gently touched her face, and said tenderly:

"Thank you for your hard work just now."

"This is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time." Vermouth knew what he was talking about, so her voice was extremely cold and icy.

"Don't you like that way of drinking?"

"roll……"

Vermouth's eyes widened, still filled with shame and indignation. She felt that she had been drunk and confused, which was why she had agreed and allowed him to humiliate her by drinking.

Thinking about what had just happened, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Your method is pretty good; next time it'll be your turn to drink this way."

"I'm fine, I quite like it. I'm not bragging, but I've been practicing this way of drinking for several months now, and I've got some experience with it."

"you……"

"hey-hey……"

Shiraishi Xiu couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at the empty wine bottles on the table, and said mockingly:

"Would you like another bottle of absinthe? I'll immediately demonstrate this drinking method for you, I guarantee you'll find it incredibly interesting."

"nausea!"

"Hey, hey, hey... I just drank from the glass you used to hold the wine, and you're still saying it's disgusting?"

"Don't mention this!"

Vermouth's voice was deep, and she exuded a cold aura, giving the impression that she could turn on you at any moment.

Shiraishi Osamu smiled. Anyway, everything was worth it today. He just didn't know if there would be such a good thing next time.

At this time

"Beep beep beep"

"Beep beep beep"

"Beep beep beep"

The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the atmosphere between the two of them.

Osamu Shiraishi glanced at Vermouth: "I'm going to take this call."

"I'm leaving."

Vermouth pulled away from his embrace, tied her long hair into a single ponytail, and left the hotel room, leaving him alone there.

"Sigh... I'm so bored..."

Shiraishi Xiu muttered something to himself, glanced at the name in the contact's name, and answered the call directly:

"My lovely and beautiful first wife, it's already noon. Would you like to come out for lunch with me?"

"Stop joking, I have serious business to discuss!" It was Sato Miwako's serious voice coming from the phone.

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu sat up straight: "What is it? Can't you handle this? You even called me specifically. You're not asking me to solve a case, are you?"

"No."

"What else could it be but solving a case?"

"I just received a report from Conan that a foreigner has been kidnapped in a parking lot next to an animal show."

"Uh... Conan..."

Osamu Shiraishi was speechless.

As expected, Shinichi Kudo is a jinx; wherever he goes, trouble seems to follow.

However, the animal show must have been where they parted ways not long ago, so it seems something else happened there after he left.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Miwako, it's no use telling me. I don't know who kidnapped that foreigner!"

"We've already got some leads, so we wanted to ask if you're close to the scene? If possible, could you lend a hand?"

"Oh, tell me, which place?"

"Central Avenue, towards the Tsuburyu River. There's been a traffic accident there, and Yumi is directing traffic. I'm worried she might not be able to handle it alone, so I'd like to ask you for help. Just find a foreigner in the car, but don't take any action. Just wait for us to arrive. Remember, don't alert them."

"OK, Central Avenue, got it."

Shiraishi Xiu's spirits lifted, and he immediately got motivated, hanging up the phone and running out.

I thought today would be a boring day, but something interesting happened, which is perfect for passing the time.

Moreover, it's quite close to Central Avenue, only about a two or three-minute walk away.

Chapter 0236: The Whole Story

the other side.

Rewind time.

When Shiraishi Shugo and Yukiko parted ways.

Conan and the others looked at the foreigner who was being besieged by reporters.

"Mr. Hawke, please say something!"

"That's right, it makes it easier for us to explain ourselves!"

“I…I think…” James Black’s face showed panic, but his heart was very calm: “You’ve misunderstood. Actually, my last name isn’t Hawke.”

Regarding his words.

The reporters burst into laughter, thinking it was a joke.

"You're joking too much."

"So, I heard that you donate half of the proceeds from your animal shows to zoos around the world. Is that true, Mr. Hawke?"

James Black hurriedly said, "You've got it all wrong... I really—..."

"You haven't been here for three years. What are your thoughts?"

"Would you like to offer your opinion, Mr. Hawke?"

“Mr. Hawke…”

“Hawk…”

James Black was thoroughly annoyed by this group of people and desperately tried to explain, but none of the reporters believed him. Instead, they became even more convinced that he was Randy Hawke.

Not far away...

Conan and his friends had been watching this side closely and found the interview quite interesting.

Professor Agasa shook his head and said, "Look at this, a brave cowboy has been turned into this."

Yukiko laughed and said, "I remember it was the same when I was young. These reporters were so annoying. I didn't expect that after so many years, it would still be the same."

Ai looked up at Yukiko.

Then a look of sudden realization dawned on her eyes. No wonder she felt she had seen this woman somewhere before, even though she was beautiful.

It was only then that she finally remembered that this was none other than the famous actress Fujimine Yukiko.

Having just escaped from the Black Organization and having shrunk in size, I was constantly on edge and didn't pay attention to the people around me.

It was only then that I realized the woman I had met several times was actually a female celebrity, which was quite dramatic.

Conan's lips curled up slightly; he had already noticed something amiss. "Let's go help him. Look how miserable he looks. I think Her Majesty's men are almost suffocating from being surrounded."

Ayumi tilted her head: "Conan, what are you talking about?"

"Just you wait and see!"

Conan confidently said this, walked forward with a smile, and came to James Black, who was surrounded.

She took a deep breath and immediately started acting cute:

“You’re here! Uncle Thomas.”

"Thomas?"

The reporters were taken aback, looking at the little kid beside them with puzzled expressions.

Someone asked, unwilling to accept it:

"So he really doesn't have the last name - Hawke?"

Conan pointed to Professor Agasa and the others behind him: "Yes, Uncle Thomas is a friend of my grandfather. He's here to teach English."

Ayumi and the others immediately understood, and one by one they ran up and grabbed James Black with smiles.

"Alright, Uncle Thomas, let's go!"

"Didn't we just agree to have dinner together at the restaurant at noon?"

"Let's hurry up and go!"

that's it……

The reporters were stunned.

James Black was then pulled away by the group of kids, one by one, successfully escaping their entanglement.

Dr. Agasa and his group left.

Once the reporters were no longer in sight, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

James Black smiled at everyone and said, "Thank you so much, thank you so much for getting me out of this predicament. Although people have often said that I look like Mr. Hawke, this is the first time I've encountered this situation."

Yuan Tai said, "In that case, Uncle, you should dress up before going out!"

Yukiko laughed and said, "I think it's probably because if that were the case, it would arouse even more suspicion!"

"Ah, yes, yes. It's a misunderstanding...you..."

James Black's expression turned to surprise as he spoke, staring at Yukiko with disbelief.

"You are Baroness Dark Night, aren't you?"
