I’m the Pay Thief at the Winery

after one day. night.

"…Ah, yes. A lot has happened indeed." Judy Sterling is sitting in her current apartment, with her head tilted and her phone between her fingers, while applying nail polish to her fingers." You're right, I'm not bored here at all. And..."

"I've already confirmed one of the targets."

"Belmode?" Akai Shuichi's voice sounded from across the phone.

"Yes, she has changed her identity now, and she still goes to school every day." Judy recalled her experience when she disguised as an English teacher at Didan Middle School, and sneered at Belmode who came to school every day pretending to be a new doctor , "Hehe...isn't it funny?"

Akai Shuichi didn't answer.

"By the way," Judy stopped applying the nail polish, "about your assignment a few days ago..."

"What's wrong?"

"Earlier today, I should have seen the 'seven' you mentioned in the mission report." Judy knew almost nothing about the name, and her tone was quite calm, "Do you need me to write a report? "

Akai Shuichi was silent for a while on the phone, "...It's troublesome."

Judy hung up the phone and breathed softly into her painted nails.

...it will probably take a while.

While staring at her nails, she fell into memory.

...

A little earlier, Video Game City.

It is quite lively here. The noisy human voices are mixed with the electronic sounds from the game console. Even the two people who are very close need to amplify their voices.

'Wow! Won! ’

'This is too handsome! ’

'Of course, because this brave man personally went out. ’

'awesome! Next...'

Judy glanced at the side, a young girl with a high ponytail was standing in front of the shooting game she had just played, posing proudly and handsomely at the word victory on the screen.

"Mr. Judy, I think we should leave here quickly." Ma Lilan, who was beside him, said worriedly.

Judy blinked and asked innocently, "Why?"

She just finished a day's work as an English teacher and came to the video game city to relax as usual. Unfortunately, they were met by their students, Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko. They also brought a little boy who looked like he was just entering elementary school.

These two girls want to leave now, mostly because of the two men who are about to fight in the fighting game.

But Judy was a little curious as to which of the two of them would win.

Also, she didn't want to leave so early. In addition to being curious about the result, she seemed to have seen a familiar person just now, but she didn't remember where she saw it for a while.

"Then, let me play this racing game again." She leaned over to the game console closest to her, and pretended to be unskilled in Japanese, "Please, onemorece (please, just play it again)."

Suzuki Sonoko Banyueyan, "There's really no way."

Her dissatisfaction quickly subsided, after all, Judy does really know how to play games.

"Wow! Teacher, you are amazing, you are ahead!" Suzuki Yuanzi stared.

"You might be able to get the highest score!" Maolilan said happily beside him.

Conan sighed aside.

These women are helpless...

He looked around lazily. The two men are ready to start the match, and the lights have been dimmed to better see their duel on the big screen.

Conan bored his gaze to the big screen, but a familiar shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.

His attention was immediately diverted.

It is not easy to find someone in a crowded environment, and as a child who is undersized, this kind of thing is even more difficult.

Conan struggled to squeeze his way through the crowd. Fortunately, although the height difference made it difficult for him to find someone, it was much easier to move through the crowd.

"The Age of Rebirth"

Based on the memory of that moment, he groped to the nearby location, and a clear female voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Huh? Doctor Seven, are you here to play games too?"

Conan immediately found a gap in the game console, and used his pocket figure to hide it.

Fortunately, many people were attracted by the showdown between the two, and went to watch the excitement near the big screen. On the contrary, it was much cleaner here, and I could barely hear the conversation between the two, but I still couldn't hear all the conversations clearly.

"I'm here to find you." Qi's voice was low, which made it difficult for Conan to hear. He could only put his ear close to him, "...Sniper at the port...you...FBI."

"Ah!" Conan heard a low voice from the female voice, which seemed to be a little surprised. When he spoke again, his voice was no longer as bright as before. "This is... the origin... sister..."

Seven's voice, Gujing Wubo, "Akai...what...let you..."

"...I can quit...you need to..."

"No need." Qi's voice became clear for a brief moment, "But... Ananda and... the nightclub..."

Then there was a long silence~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The girl seemed to be lost in thought.

"What a surprise." After a while of silence, her tone became somewhat meaningful, "I didn't expect..."

Did not expect anything?

Conan listened curiously, but then heard nothing.

He shrank back consciously, allowing his body to be completely shrouded in shadows. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see Qi passing by not far away, as if he wanted to go straight out.

Conan was hesitating to catch up—he was concerned about what he had just overheard.

——I didn't think about the consequences if I went over and asked the other party with what I overheard in person.

The question is, 'Can the detective's thing be called eavesdropping? ’

He didn't even realize the danger of the idea - even though he already knew Seven's identity. He seemed to believe that since Qi was Nan Ling's friend, he would not hurt himself.

If Haibara Ai was next to him at this time, he would definitely warn him not to be so gullible.

However, before the idea of ​​Conan could take shape in his mind, there was a commotion on the side. There was a murmur of 'is it dead' from the crowd.

As soon as Conan heard 'dead man', he immediately turned his head in a conditioned reflex.

Nan Ling is about to leave.

He came to find Chiho because he suspected that Akai Shuichi's appearance last night was related to her. The spider helped to keep an eye on the man.

Chihouri was obviously not very scheming, and she said everything after a little cheating. He also used this in exchange for a favor at the Nightclub in Hell.

Hearing the strange movement, Nan Ling also looked back.

...and then he hit three question marks.

He just came to chat with Chiho, why did he bump into Conan and his eucalyptus again?
