Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

After Kurokawasaki Tsuki brought the bear back to the hotel.

After understanding the situation, the staff quickly contacted the person in charge of the hunting area.

The group then rushed to the rescue station there.

After the bear cub was handed over to the rescue center's doctors, they quickly performed surgery on it.

The three kids from the "Teenage Reckless Kids" had all forgotten about picking matsutake mushrooms and were sitting outside waiting for news from Little Bear.

Fortunately, the news is good.

The little bear is out of danger, thanks in large part to Kurokawasaki Tsuki's timely first aid.

Upon receiving this news, the three little ones regained their energy.

"Can we go take a look at it?"

Ayumi blinked her big eyes at the doctor.

"Okay, but please be quiet."

The doctor couldn't resist her pleading eyes and granted her request.

"Great!"

The three of them carefully approached the bear.

The bear cub was still fast asleep under the influence of anesthesia.

The three little ones gathered around it, quietly admiring its sleeping face.

"it's so cute!"

"Genta, keep your voice down!"

"You know what, it really does look a bit like Genta's."

The three little ones discussed it in hushed tones.

"It's about time we went. Professor Agasa is still waiting for us at the hotel to come back for dinner."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki abruptly interrupted their discussion.

It was only then that the three of them remembered that there was such a person as Professor Agasa.

at the same time.

"Sir, haven't your children come back yet? It's already past dinner time."

"Haha, it should be soon, very soon..."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and smiled wryly.

But a thought lingered in his mind: had they forgotten about him, this lonely old man?

Kurokawa, Shinichi... when are you coming back?

Dr. Agasa cried out in his heart, and his stomach started pounding again, much to his dismay.

After some time, the group finally returned to the hotel.

In the end, Dr. Agasa got to enjoy the matsutake mushroom feast he had been hoping for.

The bear cub's fate was then entrusted to the bearded hunter.

After all, he loves Jubei so much, so he will surely take good care of its children.

This can be considered a successful trip.

The three little ones had a lot of fun, and now they're all asleep in the car, leaning against each other.

Dr. Agasa also got to taste the delicious matsutake mushrooms.

Ai Haibara finally got to go out and clear her head.

Most importantly, Conan didn't have a chance to show off his prowess, so he didn't encounter the enthusiastic Inspector Megure.

Yes, that's a great success.

Kurokawa Saki silently made his conclusions.

Life returned to normal once again.

However, there was still no news from Koizumi Akako, and Kurokawa Tsukito even suspected that the girl had taken his blood and run away.

In fact, he had even suspected that the flow of time between the Phantom Thief world next door and the Detective Conan world here might be completely different.

Just as he was beginning to have doubts, a call came in from an unfamiliar number.

After a second of hesitation.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki hung up immediately.

Why bother answering an unknown call?

However, he didn't die for long.

The same number was dialed back again.

He had no choice but to accept.

"Hey?"

"Kurokawa, it's me."

After a three-second silence, Kurokawasaki Tsuki recognized Akai Shuichi's voice.

"It's you. What's wrong?"

"I'm planning to come back to Japan soon."

"I know, didn't you say that before?"

"No, it's different."

After a pause, Hideaki Akai continued seriously.

“Our colleagues who are undercover in Japan recently brought back someone, a new person who has joined the witness protection program.”

"Oh? Who?"

“A man named Shinide Tomoaki.”

"Tomoaki Shinde?"

The one who was supposed to act opposite Xiaolan?

"That's right. He was attacked by people suspected to be from that organization, but our colleagues rescued him in time and covered up the fact that he was alive. The organization probably already thinks he's dead."

"so what?"

“We believe the organization may be about to make a big move, and I happen to be the one who knows the organization best.”

"So you're planning to come back to Japan to continue investigating that organization?"

"Yes."

"What about Akemi Miyano?"

"She will come along too, but it seems she intends to persuade her sister to leave Japan with her."

Upon hearing this news, Kurokawasaki Tsuki raised an eyebrow slightly.

As for whether Ai Haibara would leave with Akemi Miyano, Tsuki Kurokawa thought it was definitely not the case.

"What if her sister doesn't plan to leave?"

"I'm not too sure about that either. To be honest, I don't want Mingmei to take this risk with me."

After he finished speaking, Shuichi Akai fell silent for a while.

"So, is this what you were planning to talk to me about tonight?"

"Yes, that's about right. I'll contact you again once the specific arrangements are finalized. In the meantime, you should also be careful around the organization and make sure you don't expose yourself to them."

"I'm fine on my end, but you should be more careful. After all, it seems that Shuichi Akai's name is more worthy of the brewery's attention."

"I know."

Akai Shuichi hung up the phone.

Kurokawa Saki also put down his phone.

New wisdom...

He murmured the name.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki knew very well what the appearance of this name meant.

He still has a lot of impressions of this part of the plot.

This is Vermouth's official debut.

But now, because of his appearance, Kurokawasaki Tsuki doesn't know what kind of changes will occur. He's unsure if Vermouth will still be the same as she is in the show.

Therefore, the plot can only be used as a reference.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki touched his chin.

He was considering whether to directly contact Araide Tomoaki, also known as Vermouth.

However, Kurokawasaki Tsuki struggled with what excuse to use to make contact.

This is really difficult.

After much thought, he decided to put it aside for the time being.

Turning his head, he saw Ai Haibara secretly standing behind him, watching him.

Are you eavesdropping?

Ai Haibara raised her water glass in a gesture of respect.

"I was just getting water and happened to be passing by. What were you talking about? Was it about my sister?"

"Haven't you been chatting with your sister at night lately?"

"She hasn't told me anything yet, she's always acting all mysterious, maybe she wants to give me a surprise."

Kurokawasaki Tsuki stroked his chin, unsure of Miyano Akemi's thoughts.

"Speaking of Ai..."

Ai Haibara looked at Tsuki Kurokawa with a puzzled expression.

"what happened?"

Do you know what happened between Vermouth and your parents?

After a brief moment of distraction upon hearing Kurokawasaki's question, Ai Haibara's eyes glazed over.

She shook her head gently.
