Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

Vermouth picked up the wine and took a small sip. Seemingly savoring the aroma, she took another sip.

The mint leaf also entered my mouth along with the wine.

Tequila snorted and withdrew its hand.

Vodka, expressionless, picked up his glass again.

"Vermouth, I don't like people causing trouble behind my back."

Gin looked at Vermouth indifferently.

"Don't worry, I'm just here in Japan for a short rest and to check on Tequila's mission."

Vermouth said casually.

"Hmph, mysticism is disgusting."

Gin got up to leave, but before he did, he suddenly frowned and looked at Vermouth: "Vermouth, have you ever been to the library?"

"what?"

Vermouth looked surprised, seemingly completely clueless about Gin's question.

"Let's forget about 617."

Gin, carrying Tequila, pushed open the door and went out.

Seeing this, Chianti also put away her sniper rifle and left, seemingly having no desire to stay with Vermouth.

Vermouth's beautiful eyes swept over the group of people before she finally smiled and said nothing.

"Crack~"

She lit a cigarette for herself.

Looking at Gu De's tall and sunny image on TV, Vermouth squinted her eyes like a cat, as if she had thought of something.

……

"Is this Mr. Gooder that you're talking about, sister?"

"Mr. Gooder is truly a hero!"

"He does look very handsome..."

Shiho Miyano watched the footage of Gu De on TV, her face slightly flushed as she thought to herself.

She suddenly remembered what her sister had said before: if she and her sister lived in an ordinary family, would they also be able to see such handsome men on ordinary days?

Even, to date the other person?

Of course, the one in love isn't me, but my beautiful and generous older sister.

I am but a shark swimming in the deep sea...

There will never be any companions...

However, my sister is lucky. At least she can still see Gu De and has some freedom. She can only face those bad people.

Thinking of this, Shiho Miyano instantly pictured Kumail, the boy who would slap himself at the slightest provocation.

Compared to Mr. Goodd, such people represent the two extremes of human nature!

"How wonderful it would be if I could escape this place someday!"

Shiho Miyano subconsciously began to fiddle with the strip of medicine in her hand.

She is now certain that the drug she developed does indeed have the effect of reversing aging.

However, the triggering conditions are unclear.

Most importantly, she couldn't tell anyone this secret.

"If one day I could leave, I would like to go to a place where I can do research in peace."

Shiho Miyano silently added a supplement to her wish.

……

"Mr. Goo De, thank you so much......"

"What are you thanking me for?"

Gu De increased his running speed, as he and Kudo Yukiko were training for long-distance running, so Kudo Yukiko was a little out of breath.

Are all actresses like this?

They only pay attention to skincare and neglect exercise!

This is not good!

"Thank you... for saving Conan..."

Yukiko Kudo said, somewhat confused.

"Conan, he's not your son, why are you thanking me?"

"It's just...just a relative's...child, but thank you anyway..."

So, inviting me to run together is a way of expressing gratitude?

Gu De decided to speed up his run through this section. Running is good for the body, but maintaining a constant speed can cause significant damage to the knees.

Therefore, you need to speed up when you are near the finish line.

Improve your mind and body!

After the intense long-distance run, Gu De stood by the window, looking down at Professor Agasa's house next door.

"Mr. Gu De, to express my gratitude, I would like to invite you to go out for a stroll."

Yukiko Kudo had her hair wrapped up and was drenched in sweat after the long run; she definitely needed a thorough rinse.

"play?"

Gu De smiled.

Ever since the news broke, Yukiko Kudo has been inviting him out.

Now he's inviting me to travel with him; he really is a grateful person.

Then I will naturally take good care of Conan.

"Yes, I heard there's a cherry blossom viewing mountain near Dongdu. It's cherry blossom season now, the scenery there is beautiful and there aren't many tourists, it's perfect for us to go together!"

Yukiko Kudo's face held a hint of anticipation.

"Yes, this season is indeed a good time to see cherry blossoms."

"Then you can make the arrangements!"

"Okay, how about two days later?"

Gu De smiled and said, "This place, Yingjing Mountain, is unfamiliar. It shouldn't be anything special, right?"

"By the way, Mr. Gu De, actually... there's another reason I invited you here today..."

Yukiko Kudo suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Go on, was it your husband who urged you to go to the United States?"

Gu De glanced at her.

That awkward look must be related to that kind of thing, right?

However, I'm just using you.

Please don't do anything else.

"Ah! No, no... I meant something else. Could you help look after Conan from time to time?"

"We originally asked Mr. Mori to help Conan, but... Mr. Mori is a bit out of touch sometimes, and it seems that Ran doesn't really like Conan very much."

"So I talked to Conan's parents and asked if we could ask Mr. Gu De to help look after Conan on a regular basis?"

Yukiko Kudo finally managed to catch her breath and looked at Gu De with anticipation.

Taking care of Conan?

However, I'm past the point of using lines like, "Ms. Yukiko, you wouldn't want Conan to be bullied, would you?"

Since you've already started offering home delivery, do I still need this?

"So, what is Yusaku Kudo's attitude?"

Gu De asked jokingly.

"Who would bother asking that guy who only knows how to write mystery novels!"

"He just leaves me alone all day long, I'm not going to ask him anything."

"It's better to stay here... near Gu De..."

Yukiko Kudo turned her face away, her cheeks flushing again as if she had mentioned the shame her husband had caused her.

Just like when I was running a long distance.

"Haha, is that so?"

"Then I'd like to see how you thank me!"

Gu De laughed heartily and pulled Kudo Yukiko over, asking her to find and clean the stains on the French windows.

"Not here, this is the window... people outside can see!"

"It's okay, it's more fun this way! The window is dirty, just reach out and wipe it!"

After arranging the trip with Yukiko Kudo, Gu De returned to his office.
