Great Swordsman Ke Xue

Rena Mizuno did not lie.

She did not even investigate and discover this matter alone.

After Shirley disappeared, all the members of the organization, especially the code members, in Tokyo received tasks to participate in the investigation and pursuit.

In this process, Rena Mizuno, Gin, and Vermouth all noticed these problems and reported them to the boss.

Vermouth is still wearing the identity of "Dr. Shinde". The reason for this is actually for this purpose, in order to conduct an investigation in Kudo Shinichi's school.

Rena Mizuno is close to Kogoro Mori, which is also part of the investigation.

As for Gin, if their investigation has no results, Gin may take action, but that has nothing to do with them.

Vermouth took a sip of red wine lightly without saying a word, and Shimizu Koji saw this and agreed after a little consideration.

"Well, then we'll act together then."

Rena Mizuno took out her cell phone, turned on the screen, and looked at him without saying a word.

Kouji Shimizu paused for a moment before he understood what she meant, "The number is--."

Rena Mizuno saved Koji Shimizu's phone number and made a call, but Koji Shimizu did not choose to save the number, but silently deleted the call record.

Sometimes, numbers are best used only if they are remembered in the mind.

After the serious situation was finished, the rest of the time was just a casual chat. In fact, Rena Mizuno, Koji Shimizu and Vermouth were not very familiar with each other. After drinking two glasses and chatting for a while, she got up and said goodbye.

Now, only Koji Shimizu and Vermouth were left in the bar.

"Have you seen Shirley?"

And as expected, Vermouth became serious as soon as Rena Mizuno left.

Although Koji Shimizu was surprised by this, he had a vague premonition and was prepared before.

"I have seen him."

Suddenly, Vermouth's expression became serious, almost the same as Gin's reaction to Akai Shuichi's news, which made Shimizu Koji's attention more sensitive and focused.

"Where?"

There was a rare coldness in her mature voice, but under her cold gaze, Shimizu Koji shook his head and said, "It's not that I have seen him. It was a long time ago, when I was in the research institute."

"Research institute——?"

Vermouth frowned deeply. She didn't know that Shimizu Koji had applied for a job at the research institute. If Shimizu Koji didn't say it, ordinary people would never think of it.

"Well, at that time, I was still very young."

"I was short of money, so I planned to find a part-time job after school. It happened that the White Dove Research Institute was recruiting temporary workers for the summer vacation, so I went, and then, not long after, the research institute was burned down."

Vermouth's eyes gradually eased, and there was also more speechlessness and dissatisfaction.

"So, I just happened to see Shirley when I went there that day, and it was just a glance, and she didn't even recognize me."

"Hehe~, it sounds like the beginning of a wonderful love story, doesn't it?"

"Uh" Shimizu Koji rubbed his nose, looking at Belmode's somewhat unhappy eyes, he also knew that he had been a little deliberate in keeping this secret.

But, if you say it is, then it is right, and it is not wrong overall.

"So, you seem to have a great-?"

Shimizu Koji didn't finish, because he didn't know what words to use to describe it, and it was enough to say this. Belmode should not intend to hide this from him at present.

But Belmode didn't answer Shimizu Koji's question immediately, maybe thinking, or maybe hesitating?

Belmode's delicate face is like a queen's poker, beautiful as always, making people unable to detect her thoughts.

After taking a sip of sherry, Vermouth slowly said, "Hate, you don't need to know about this."

"This is my personal problem."

"I want to help you."

Vermouth turned her head suddenly, looked at Shimizu Koji, and then laughed.

"Do you think I'm that guy from Gin? Or do you think your acting skills have improved a lot recently?"

"I really want to help you, Vermouth."

And Shimizu Koji still looked at Vermouth clearly with a firm look, and at the same time stretched out a hand and tightly grasped Vermouth's wrist on the table.

Vermouth seemed to feel Shimizu Koji's true intentions from it, because Shimizu Koji's eyes were like a child who admired his mother.

Although it felt that Shimizu Koji was no longer as innocent as at the beginning, every time Shimizu Koji got along with her, especially when there were outsiders present, he obviously still regarded her as the backbone to rely on, so Vermouth's mind was indeed slightly shaken.

Then, resolutely said no.

"No, you can't help me--"

Vermouth paused, and then her eyes suddenly drifted downwards. Shimizu Koji, who was looking at her, also subconsciously followed her gaze, and then, he couldn't take his eyes off it at the first moment.

Magnificent, spectacular, smooth, round, Shimizu Koji had never seen a cup that could combine these attributes, well, it was a cup.

"Heh, little pervert~, I think I see through you. It seems that I overestimated you before. I didn't expect that just a training by that guy Fujiko Mine would make you so different."

"Boys, men~, the changes are really big."

"If you meet that Shirley, I always feel that you are more likely to help her deal with me."

Vermouth said, and did not pull up the zipper of her leather jacket that slipped down when she squeezed hard.

Shimizu Koji drove here, but Vermouth and Mizunashi Rena both rode Harleys.

Just let Shimizu Koji admire it.

But in fact, Shimizu Koji was distracted and fell into deep thought.

Shimizu Koji listened to Belmode's heart-piercing words, and his mood was rarely unstable. Belmode, apart from other things, was like a mind reader sometimes.

Well, although it was nothing, just a joke, it did make Shimizu Koji feel a little nervous. After all, he still didn't know what hatred Belmode had with his own Shiho.

It seems that he can only be on guard in the future.

"Watching for so long? Why, do you want to try it too?"

"Well? Can, can I?"

Shimizu Koji came back to his senses and got into the role instantly. Maybe he was used to playing the role of a clear big boy recently, and he also used the same tricks to deal with Kisaki Eri for a while.

Because if Shimizu Koji remembered correctly, Belmode seemed to have that intention at the beginning, and wanted to train him as a child.

And Belmode just smiled, squinted, and didn't say anything, but she didn't mean to stop him.

Shimizu Koji silently extended his hand.

"Pah~!"

"That's too much~, Koji-kun."

Vermouth slapped someone's hand away in mid-air, then zipped up leisurely, looking at Shimizu Koji with an intriguing smile.

And Shimizu Koji didn't feel embarrassed, and sat up straight naturally.

After all, it didn't matter if he failed, it was Vermouth who proposed it, but what if he succeeded, that would be a small step forward for him and a big step in the development and growth of the organization.
