Chapter 486 Even Bandits Must Fight Evil and Defend the Righteous Path (Mystery)

"Handling, the case?"

Although Vermouth is pretty much used to the current internal structure of the organization.

However, she still couldn't hold back her emotions after Qi Ming said those words.

She could understand it, though, that members of the criminal gang helped the police.

But if the current leader of a criminal organization said that, Vermouth would really think that Qi Ming wanted to sell out everyone in their organization.

"Of course! If we're lucky, we might even appear on TV and receive a government commendation."

"...Have you thought about what our organization will become in the future?"

Vermouth sighed deeply.

Is it because they are highly skilled and daring? In the past, the people in the organization always hid well in the dark unless absolutely necessary.

Now they're even thinking about going on TV?

It's really bad luck to be on TV!

Upon hearing Vermouth's words, Qi Ming frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shrugged.

“I used to overthink it, but now I don’t want to.”

In the past, he might have been interested in running the organization.

But now, it doesn't matter.

"Actually, I suggest you go out and find a job, and then rob a bank every now and then as a form of entertainment."

"It's quite amusing to show off in front of those people after you've made money."

"..."

Vermouth always felt that her thoughts were completely out of sync with Qi Ming's.

She stopped asking Qi Ming these questions and took out a small purple bead from her pocket.

"...By the way, I've already replaced this thing. How do I use it?"

"Oh, they've all been changed?"

Qi Ming glanced at the status ailment removal item in Vermouth's hand and said with some surprise.

He hadn't been watching the news much these past few days. It seemed like it was being broadcast at the airport, but he hadn't paid much attention.

It seems Vermouth hasn't been idle at all; I thought she just spent all her time hanging out with JK Ran.

"Didn't I already tell you how to use it? Didn't you read the manual?"

"I know, but I always feel like something's off..."

"Somewhat absurd?"

"That's pretty much it."

Seeing that Vermouth did not reply, Qi Ming sighed and stepped forward to pat Vermouth on the shoulder.

"You've met Karasuma Renya, and how did Kobo become so powerful? I really don't understand why you find it absurd?"

"Hoobao? Miyano Shiho?"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's address, Vermouth took a moment to realize who Qi Ming was referring to.

"What's wrong with her? Why is she so amazing?"

"Oh, I forgot, you weren't there when he beat up Gin that day."

Seeing Vermouth's reaction, Qi Ming patted his head.

"That day, she punched Gin so hard he flew away."

"You beat Gin to a pulp?"

Vermouth's lower eyelid twitched suddenly.

Sherry punched Gin...

Could it be that she is actually dreaming right now, or more accurately, she has entered Sherry's dream?

Vermouth looked up and around, then asked in confusion.

"Isn't Shirley here?"

"Oh, I took her to see her sister."

"That's it..."

Vermouth nodded, but the next second her body involuntarily trembled slightly.

Did they take Shirley to see her sister?

Akemi Miyano?

But wasn't Miyano Akemi already...?

Her thoughts came to an abrupt halt. Vermouth silently looked up at Qi Ming, and she pretty much knew the answer.

Gin, look at the people you've brought out.

The biggest traitor is the person you trust the most; he even became the leader of the organization!

"Why are you staring at me?"

"I think you're handsome."

"Oh, flattering me? You want me to take advantage of you and give you some benefits?"

"...No, this is just basic etiquette."

Vermouth felt a rare pity for Shiho Miyano.

How exactly did that woman and Qi Ming get along day by day?

"Alright, let's go in. It's been a long time since I've strolled around the Metropolitan Police Department. I'm still a little excited about it."

Qi Ming rubbed his hands together.

Just as the two stepped onto the stairs, a taxi drove out from the street corner not far away and slowly approached them.

hiss--

The car tires screeched against the ground as the taxi stopped, and two men in suits got out.

"Seriously, Inspector Megure specifically asked me to come, and you brat, why did you come along?"

"Haha, don't say that, uncle. I'm a detective too."

Both of them raised their voices quite loudly, and Qi Ming and Vermouth, who had already walked up a few steps, also heard the voices behind them.

"Oh, I ran into someone I know."

Qi Ming turned his head to look down the steps, and Vermouth, also puzzled, turned her head as well.

She recognized one of the voices clearly; it was Kogoro Mouri's voice.

However, there's another one...

How did Kogoro Mouri end up hanging out with Kaito Kuroba?

However, when Vermouth turned her head and saw the person next to Kogoro Mouri, her expression also became confused.

If Shiho Miyano recovered because of Qi Ming, then what about Shinichi Kudo?

...Could it be that, based solely on reasoning and observation, he has become like Karasuma Renya and Miyano Shiho?

Kogoro Mouri and Shinichi Kudo got out of the taxi and climbed the stairs without delay.

"Hey, Qi Ming, you're here too?"

It was at this moment that they looked up and saw Qi Ming and Vermouth in front of them.

"Yes, Inspector Megure asked me to come and help out."

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback.

"Really? Inspector Megure also asked me to come and handle some matters."

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri looked at Shinichi Kudo and spoke again.

"See? There are two of us adults here, so you don't need to come and join in the fun."

"Hehe, I'll just take a look. Uncle, you don't need to worry about it anymore."

Shinichi Kudo chuckled awkwardly, then glanced at Qi Ming silently once more.

Recalling the incident at the restaurant and school festival, he was quite certain that Qi Ming must have reached some kind of cooperation with Inspector Megure.

For example, if they encounter something that cannot be explained by science, they can ask Qi Ming for help.

I initially thought it was just an ordinary case, but since Inspector Megure called Qi Ming over, it's probably not so ordinary after all.

Although I always felt that inviting Qi Ming to this place was like inviting a wolf into the house...

After all, the last time the Metropolitan Police Department was blown up, it was this guy who used a space weapon.

Shinichi Kudo was trying to figure out what kind of situation this was.

He suddenly felt a gaze fixed on him, which never left his face.

Looking up, he saw that the person staring at him was Vermouth.

Why is this woman looking at me like that? And there's something strange about the way she's looking at me.

That day, after he went back, he met with Ran Mouri and learned that Vermouth had invited Ran to a restaurant for dinner.

Whether it's her concealment of her identity or her attitude towards Xiaolan, everything about her seems strange...

Shinichi Kudo's shoulders jolted, and a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind.

Could this guy be a womanizer?!
