My lover is this organization

"Wow~" Yukiko immediately held her face with her hands, looking intoxicated.

She stepped aside, clenched her left fist, and pointed with her thumb at a boy in the passenger seat who looked about 70% similar to her and seemed to have just entered high school. She boasted, "This is our Shinichi-chan. Doesn't he look quite like Yusaku? Of course, he definitely looks more like me..."

Then she pointed at the girl in the back seat who was still stroking her chest and looked terrified: "And this is our Lan-chan. Although she is not my daughter, I think she has a good chance of becoming my daughter in the future~"

Yukiko deliberately lowered her voice when speaking the second half of her sentence, and even winked playfully at the two people in the Bugatti Veyron.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with Vermouth, but when Qin Wuque glanced at the girl called "Xiao Lan" in the back seat, his heart moved slightly.

That corner... looks very strong, and suddenly I want to try to bend it.

At this time, Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back seat of the Jaguar, finally reacted. After hearing the word "Sharon", she poked her head out from the space between the two front seats, took a look at the Bugatti Veyron, and immediately showed a look of great surprise.

"Wait, are you the famous star in the European and American film industry, Sharon Wynyard?"

In contrast, the boy sitting in the passenger seat and called "Shinichi" became embarrassed with small eyes.

"Sha...Sharon, what's that? Mom, can you introduce her to me? Who is she?"

"Oh, really, this child..."

Yukiko held her forehead slightly as if she had a headache.

Forget it, let my daughter-in-law explain this matter. It can also enhance the relationship between the two of them.

"Ran-chan~ Why don't you tell us what's going on with our little Shinichi~"

"Oh, okay……"

The girl, who looked 99% like the legendary unicorn, nodded obediently, then turned around and raised a finger to her childhood sweetheart and said seriously.

"Listen carefully. Miss Sharon Wynyard is a very famous star in the world film industry. She debuted in the same year as Aunt Yukiko, but Aunt Yukiko quickly retired from the film industry after marrying Uncle Yusaku, while Miss Sharon Wynyard has not announced her retirement until now. She has made many movies and won many awards over the years. She is a very great female star. Do you understand what I mean, Shinichi?"

"Ah~Oh." Kudo Shinichi nodded, not quite understanding.

However, just when Xiaolan and Yukiko thought they had gotten away with it, he once again delivered a heart-wrenching blow that made them sigh that it was worthy of him.

"And this Miss Sharon Wynyard, has she ever made a Sherlock Holmes movie?"

"……No."

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and finally could only sigh silently, feeling completely powerless.

To be honest, her childhood sweetheart is good in every way, but for some reason, there is always a Sherlock Holmes in his head. No matter what happens, he always wants to relate it to the detective side of things, and this symptom has lasted for a long time and there is no cure.

Ignoring the bewildered Kudo Shinichi, Xiaolan happily rolled down the car window and said to Vermouth who was still sitting in the Bugatti Veyron, "But it's really great that I can actually meet such a famous person, and on the streets of New York. Maybe this is God's will. I really have to thank God!"

"..."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and it could even be said to be quite well-spoken. However, instead of showing any joy on her face, Vermouth, who was sitting in the passenger seat, slightly frowned and lowered her head. Her eyes changed slightly, and a strong sense of world-weariness emanated from her.

Qin Wuque, who was sitting next to her, immediately noticed something was wrong. He gently held her slightly cold hand and turned his head to smile.

"Why thank God? God won't bring you to New York for a trip. Shouldn't your Aunt Yukiko be the one you should thank the most?"

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

PS1: After the New York chapter is finished, I can start writing one chapter a year. But then again, I thought that the previous content would be about words, but I didn't expect it to be almost . By then, I can write two theatrical versions. Some of the content that was not suitable for writing in the previous book can also be written, such as the sunny day and the bet on the country's destiny... (funny)

PS2: If you want to create a group... just wait until it's on the shelves. Qianshanhxd, who used to py with me, has been criticized so much that he has quit. It is said that some people even rushed into the group and cursed and ran away. It's very scary.

Chapter 43: The Golden Apple

Tonight's performance at the New York Phantom Theatre is "GOLDEN APPLE," which has been particularly popular in the opera world recently.

The story is still a clichéd myth or legend, but due to the unique creativity of the opera troupe and its superb means of creating atmosphere on the stage, many opera lovers flock to it.

Of course, all of the above content came from Sister Bei's mouth. A guy like Qin Wuque, whose mind is only filled with thoughts like "where to go, who to kill, and how much to give", certainly cannot understand the charm of Western classical literature, so he could only listen with a confused look on his face throughout, and utter a few "Aba Aba" from time to time to make his presence felt.

The performance started at eight o'clock, which meant that the performance hall of the opera house was not open to tourists until about seven-fifty, so the group of five went straight to the backstage after entering the Ghost Theater.

Backstage, the actresses who will be performing on stage in an hour are still putting on their final make-up.

The classical aristocratic long skirts with high-strength corsets tightened their already slender waists to a size that could be held in one hand. With their exquisite makeup, each of them looked like a fairy, so beautiful that Qin Wuque was almost overwhelmed by the strong scent of rouge as soon as he entered the door.

"Lie..." He covered his nose and rolled his eyes.

Noticing someone pushing the door open, the three actresses who were either sitting at the dressing table adjusting their makeup or choosing clothes at the hangers turned their heads and showed expressions of surprise at the same time.

"Sharon~ You really came to see our performance!"

The speaker was an actress with long curly hair and dark skin, and her facial features had distinct Malaysian features.

"Lila, long time no see."

Vermouth smiled and nodded in response, while taking out two opera tickets from her pocket and shaking them.

"After all, it was your leader who personally invited me this time, so of course I will come."

"I never thought that what our leader said would come true one day!"

"It's amazing! It's like a dream!"

After the initial disbelief, the actresses who realized that their dreams had come true immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed forward to enthusiastically surround Vermouth, discussing whether they should go out for a meal later. It felt like a small offline fan meeting.

"Aha~ I think I know why we have to meet an hour before the show starts." Kudo Shinichi chuckled dryly as he glanced at the thick layers of makeup on the faces of several actresses who were chattering around Sharon not far away.

However, it is obvious that with Sister Bay's slender figure, it is impossible to hide the fact that there are three living people standing at the door.

So soon, they discovered another big star present.

In other words, a former big star.

It is also now...

"Baroness of the Night!"*3

"YES~"

Yukiko smiled and made a cute scissors hand gesture, then walked over contentedly and joined in.

Faced with his mother's childish behavior, Kudo Shinichi could only express his inner helplessness with a slightly twitching mouth.

"The Baroness of the Dark Night?" Qin Wuque scratched his face through the mask. "This title seems to make me feel strangely familiar."

"Of course~"

Kudo Shinichi heard this and took over the conversation, "This is what people here call my mother, because she is the wife of Kudo Yusaku, the author of Dark Night Baron. And my mother was on a special TV program here before, as the wife of a famous mystery novelist. Then my mother's reasoning in the program happened to hit the nail on the head, and she successfully found the murderer, so after that, people gave her the title of Lady Dark Night Baron as a 'female detective'."

At this point he was speechless: "But in the final analysis, all the reasoning my mom did on the TV show was just my dad's complaints every morning when he read the newspaper. She just copied it exactly."

"Oh~ awesome, awesome."

Qin Wuque nodded in awe, as if he had fully understood.

Suddenly, a voice that sounded quite provocative came from the other side.

"Alas, I thought the Dark Night Baroness would be able to solve the mystery of that strange gift this time, but I didn't expect that she would just bring the children to the backstage to watch the fun. It's really disappointing."

"Ok?"

Qin Wuque subconsciously turned his head and saw that the person who was speaking was a woman with long straight golden hair. Her narrow eyes and lips painted with dark lipstick made her look a bit like a lewd and poisonous stepmother.

Miss, you look so dead.

"No~"

Yukiko's temper was unexpectedly good. Even when provoked like this, she didn't show any displeasure. She turned around like a girl and came to her son, putting one hand on Kudo Shinichi's shoulder and the other on Xiaolan's shoulder, and said proudly.

"It's true that this is my son, but this girl is not. But I never know in the future~"

As she spoke, she pointed at Qin Wuque who was wearing a funny mask.

"And this one is Sharon's boyfriend~clang~"

Then her tone suddenly became serious: "But I warn you, absolutely... never take off his mask casually, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen~"

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing this, all the actresses nodded their heads immediately. Looking at their serious expressions, they obviously took this matter seriously, leaving Qin Wuque speechless on the spot.

He was just making it up, okay?

However, no matter what, the tense atmosphere in the dressing room, which had suddenly become tense due to some people's provocative remarks, was finally eased a little.

But Kudo Shinichi still had a serious look on his face, and a hint of anticipation: "You said you had a strange gift, can you show it to me?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this request, the actresses looked at each other, with somewhat conflicted looks in their eyes.

At this moment, Yukiko suddenly clapped her hands, and the crisp applause immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The outdated female star put her hands together, tilted her head and said with a smile: "Then take it out and have a look. It happens that our Arata-chan has inherited my and Yusaku's excellent reasoning talent. Maybe you can find some clues by looking at it~"

"Okay... okay."

Since the famous Baroness of Darkness has said so, it would be difficult for others to refuse.

Not long after, a golden apple in an exquisite gift box was brought up. On the surface of the golden apple, there was a string of English words written in what seemed to be animal blood.

——“For the Fairest”

Translated as dedicated to the most beautiful goddess.

"Wow~ Golden Apple?"

Qin Wuque was a little surprised.

Before anyone could react, he snatched the apple from the box, held it in his hand, turned it left and right, and examined it over and over again.

Then lift the mask a little.

"Wait……"

Vermouth already realized what was going to happen next.

But it was too late for her to stop it.

Click!

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Qin Wuque quickly bit off a piece from it.

"Fuck, how can it be a real apple? I thought it was a sacred object from the Garden of Eden... Ugh, it tastes so bad!!!"

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

PS: When watching the video, I saw a comment saying that it seems that the little mute can actually speak. As long as the player turns on the built-in voice of the game, the little mute's mouth will move when speaking. I don't know if it's true or not.

Chapter 44 Preparations for the Goddaughter

"Identification completed, this is just an ordinary apple."

Qin Wuque spit out the chewed fruit pulp into the trash can at his feet, wiped his mouth and said with regret.

Everyone looked at him speechlessly.

My goodness, so you thought that the apple someone gave you was a pure gold apple, and you wanted to try biting it with your teeth?

Kudo Shinichi originally wanted to take the apple to see if he could find any clues, or at least try to find out the intention of the person who sent the golden apple, but after being disrupted by this, even he completely lost interest.

Not that he had any objection to an apple with a bite taken out of it and saliva on it.

As a qualified detective, he would never be picky about evidence. Even if he was asked to dive into a manure pit to look for clues, he could do it without changing his expression or heartbeat... and tell the police that there might be evidence in the manure pit, hoping that the police could send people to search.

But compared to whether the apple itself is real or fake, the real clue lies in the golden coating on the surface of the apple and the line of English letters written in animal blood on the coating.

——Dedicated to the most beautiful goddess.

This actually involves a Greek legend.
