Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Sonoko watched Vermouth with a face full of stars.

"Would you like something to drink, Miss Chris?"

Chen Feng was unaffected by Vermouth's words, and with his signature smile on his face, he continued to ask questions.

“No rush,” Vermouth said. “I have an appointment, and she hasn’t arrived yet…”

Before the words had even finished, a woman's voice came from the doorway:

“Let’s go!”

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure passed in front of them, went straight to Vermouth, and hugged her tightly.

"You're in such a hurry to ask me out? You miss me?"

Yukiko hugged Vermouth affectionately.

Vermouth didn't show any unusual expression, and continued to speak with a smile:

"Yes, especially after hearing that you, a busy person who usually doesn't get involved in industry matters, actually accepted the invitation to the Shaw Brothers memorial service, I was quite surprised."

"It was just to see an old friend off on his final journey."

Yukiko spoke with a regretful expression.

Conan was stunned. He never expected that the person the American superstar was waiting for was his own mother.

Ran and Sonoko politely greeted her, "Aunt Yukiko."

"Oh dear, didn't I already tell you? Just call me 'older sister'."

Yukiko smiled and waved to the group before speaking.

Conan's lips twitched at these words, but he didn't say anything.

"Boss, a coffee for me and a coffee for Chris, please. I'll have a latte. Chris, what would you like to drink?"

“Same as you,” Vermouth replied.

"Okay, you two."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "Two lattes, coming right away."

Chen Feng wrote down the order, turned around and went back to the front desk to make coffee.

Akemi went to pick up Ai from school, so this time the boss had to do it himself.

Yukiko then looked in Vermouth's direction again and said, "Chris, you still haven't told me, what's the matter that you were in such a hurry to see me this time?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Of course you can."

Yukiko said, "But I don't think someone as busy as you would bother to come out of the house for no reason."

"Haha."

Vermouth chuckled a few times, then, without further ado, spoke:

"I saw that you listed two people on the invitation to the Shaw Brothers director's memorial service. What? Are there other people with you? Could it be that Yusaku came back from the US?"

Vermouth said this on purpose, of course. Ever since she saw the thief and Yukiko at the Grand Theater, she had keenly sensed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

In addition, the fact that the thief had revealed their plan to assassinate Shigehiko Tomonoku at the memorial service made it impossible for Vermouth not to take precautions.

Upon hearing Vermouth's question, a hint of panic flashed in Yukiko's eyes. Although she quickly concealed it, Vermouth, who had been watching her closely, noticed it.

This also convinced her that the person who accompanied Yukiko to the memorial service was Kaito Kid!

However, she didn't expose it, but simply waited quietly for Yukiko's reply.

Yukiko glanced around a few times before finally fixing her gaze on Conan, a smile immediately spreading across her face: "What? Of course I'm with Shinichi."

"Ok?"

"Shinichi?"

Yukiko's words immediately caught Ran's attention.

In particular, Ran asked anxiously, "Aunt Yukiko, has Shinichi... come back?"

"Forehead……"

Yukiko slapped her forehead; she had completely forgotten that Ran was still there.

He then subconsciously glanced in Conan's direction and saw him anxiously winking at him.

Upon seeing this, Yukiko simply turned her head away, completely ignoring him.

"Not yet..."

Upon hearing this, Ran's face immediately showed disappointment, but the next second, Yukiko's words made her smile again.

"But Shinichi sent me a message earlier saying he'll be back tomorrow night."

"real!"

"no……"

Conan panicked and shouted, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Ran and Sonoko looked at Conan with confusion, wondering why he was reacting so strongly.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Conan realized his reaction was a bit too much, so he forced a smile and said, "I remember Shinichi said last time that the case would take a long time to investigate, how come it's back so soon?"

Conan stared intently at Yukiko, took two quick steps to her side, and said in a low voice, "Mom, what are you trying to do?! How could I possibly come back?!"

Hearing Conan's words, Yukiko only replied with a smiling emoji, and then said again, "He took leave to come back, and he has to go back after he finishes his work."

"I see."

Xiaolan nodded and didn't ask anything more.

The coffee for the group was quickly prepared and served.

After finishing their drinks, the group left separately.

Yukiko and Vermouth walked at the very end.

"Well then, Yukiko, see you tomorrow night," Vermouth said, having put her sunglasses and mask back on.

See you tomorrow night.

Yukiko smiled and waved, then chatted for a couple more minutes before turning and leaving first.

Vermouth, at the very back, gathered her belongings and glanced at Chen Feng, who was sitting at the counter reading a book: "Boss, your coffee is delicious. No wonder Yukiko highly recommends it."

"I'm glad Miss Chris likes it."

Chen Feng closed the book, looked up, and replied.

"Alright, I'll be going now. I'll come back for coffee sometime."

Vermouth replied, then turned and left the cafe.

It wasn't until ten minutes after she left that Akemi returned from another direction with Ai, whose face was pale and body stiff.

They had actually returned a while ago, but Chen Feng sent them a message asking them not to come back yet and to wait outside for a while.

At this moment, Akemi looked in the direction Vermouth had left, tightened her grip on Ai's arm, and asked in confusion, "Who was that just now? Was it someone from the organization?"

"Ah."

Chen Feng nodded slightly.

"It's Vermouth!"

Pale-faced Ai suddenly spoke, looking in the direction Vermouth had left, seemingly still shaken: "That girl is dangerous! It's said she has some connection with the organization's boss and is the most mysterious woman in the organization!"

……

Chapter 299 Memorial Service

“Vermouth…”

Mingmei repeated the name, then looked at Chen Feng with worried eyes: "Has she discovered our identities?"

Akemi was still very worried about this.

After all, she had wanted to leave the organization so that she could live a normal life with her sister and no longer live in constant fear. Although now... she was a little different from ordinary people, Akemi was already very satisfied. She was worried that this peace would be broken.

"rest assured."

Chen Feng gave a reassuring smile: "It must have been when she arranged to meet Yukiko that Yukiko chose the place, otherwise she wouldn't have come here for coffee by such a coincidence."

Chen Feng's guess was actually correct; it was exactly the place Yukiko had chosen.

When Vermouth asked Yukiko to meet her this morning, Yukiko was a little surprised, but she didn't think much of it. She just remembered that there was a really good coffee shop downstairs from Eri Kisaki's law firm, so she casually suggested that they meet there.

Mingmei thought about it and seemed to agree, so she nodded and didn't say anything more.

"I need to take care of something tomorrow night. I expect to see Vermouth there too. You and Ai shouldn't go. Just stay at the shop to avoid being recognized by her."

Chen Feng spoke up.

With that, Chen Feng turned and left, preparing to go to the back of the shop to get the things he would need for tomorrow night.

"Hey……"

Xiao Ai, whose face had regained some color, suddenly spoke up and called out to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng turned around and looked in Ai's direction.

"Um...you..." Ai seemed a little embarrassed, slightly raising her head and glancing to the side, avoiding eye contact with Chen Feng: "Be careful, that woman is very powerful."

Seemingly realizing that this was inappropriate, Ai added unnecessarily, "Don't misunderstand, I'm just worried that you'll be sad, after all, you've helped us a lot."

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled, ignoring Xiao Ai's resistance, walked over and ruffled her hair before straightening up and speaking:

"Don't worry, I'm immortal." Chen Feng left with a confident smile before turning and departing.

……

A day passes quickly.
