“Shiho, tell me, was your parents’ research on the drug successful?”

“Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?” Haibara Ai was a little confused.

“I think there may be some secrets here that we don’t know. Do you remember the cause of your parents’ death? There was a fire in the laboratory and all the drug information was burned.”

Haibara Ai was still a little confused, but when she mentioned her parents, her mood became a little heavy and she fell into a brief memory. Her parents’ drug information was burned, but after rescue, a lot of it was still preserved, which was the key factor for her to develop aptx4869.

After a moment of silence, Huiyuan Ai spoke softly: “I think the research should be successful.”

Out of trust in her parents and admiration for the drug research data, Haibara Ai gave her own answer, and Shimizu Koji was not surprised by this answer, because if there had been no results, how could the wealthy man Karasuma Renya still be alive at the age of 150?

“You said at the beginning that you suspected your parents were killed by them, but Shiho, don’t you find it strange? If they killed your parents, why would they control you to study this aptx4869? There is no doubt that your parents must have made some progress in their research, and may even have achieved a critical success. Otherwise, the boss of the organization would not be alive until now.”

Haibara Ai was stunned, her eyes slightly dazed. It was not that she had not thought about these questions, but she had never been able to figure them out. Coupled with the persecution and house arrest by the organization, she subconsciously attributed all the problems to the organization.

Koji Shimizu was also a little hesitant. He was just guessing and didn’t know whether he should continue.

“Is there a possibility that your parents committed suicide?”

Silence, deafening, Huiyuan Ai’s eyes were blank, in a trance, she could only hear her own heartbeat, Shimizu Koji in front of her seemed like a devil whispering, but she couldn’t say a word “no” to this man

Because this was not just Shimizu Koji’s guess, but also a guess that she didn’t want to believe in her heart. She didn’t want to believe that her parents would abandon her and her sister and die in such a hurry. But from the perspective of the organization, there was absolutely no reason for her parents to be killed, unless it was those undercover agents.

But that is even more impossible. Haibara Ai is not stupid at all, and neither is anyone else. If those undercover agents had done some research and understanding on her parents, billions of dollars would not be enough to buy back the Miyano couple alive.

Koji Shimizu gently touched Haibara Ai’s cheek to comfort her. Haibara Ai’s little face felt a little cold, and the previous blush disappeared, leaving only a pale face.

“Let’s assume that your parents have made a major breakthrough in drug research. They told the organization about their research results. Maybe the organization even disguised themselves at the time. Your parents had no idea who they were. They just thought they were the Karasuma Foundation and invested in their research.”

“Then, at some point in the future, your parents suddenly discovered the true identity of the organization and the Karasuma Group for some reason, or something went wrong with the drug that touched the taboo of human life span. They thought they were helping the evil and opened a Pandora’s box that should not have been opened, but by then they could no longer regret it, and there was no way to escape, so.”

As Shimizu Koji spoke, he held Haibara Ai in his arms, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and silently comforted Haibara Ai. Haibara Ai gradually came to her senses, and her mood was not as depressed as before.

“Why do you assume that?”

“According to what Vermouth said just now, the boss of the organization, Karasuma Renya, has not appeared in public for a long time, and her mother, Sharon, has also disappeared.”

“I think she’s hiding something – maybe she knows what her mother is doing.”

“I have some doubts. Is there a possibility that the boss has taken the drug your parents have researched, but during the process or after taking the drug, his body had some kind of accident, so Sharon ‘died’ and Chris became Vermouth, replaced her position in the organization, and stood in the front.”

Huihara Ai’s pupils shrank slightly. “You mean, the boss’s physical condition may not be convenient for him to show up? He – has also become smaller?!”

“Maybe, but it’s hard to say, because we don’t know the effect of the silver bullet. But like Vermouth said, I can also feel that there are undercurrents in the organization now. Even I know that the second-in-command, Rum, seems to be trying to find out the whereabouts of the boss. There is no permanent loyalty. If a person does not show up for a long time, his subordinates are bound to have some thoughts that they should not have. It is impossible for Karasuma Renya not to know, but he has never stood up.”

“I don’t think it’s because the organization is no longer important to him. On the contrary, the organization is very important to him. It is so important that, for you alone, most of the organization’s forces have been gathered back to Tokyo.”

Chapter 532 Why is He Ye blushing!!!

Vermouth’s mood was not calm, at least not as calm as it seemed on the surface. She had lost some “emotions”, but those were some. Facing the horror between life and death, she still felt fear from the bottom of her soul.

She believed that Shimizu Koji would not kill her so easily, but when she was pointed at by the gun that always made people bleed on their heads, she still felt scared, because Shimizu Koji seemed to be about to pull the trigger in the next second and would not give her any chance to talk nonsense.

Fortunately, the results are good.

Slowly walking back to the cultural and sports hall, looking at the charming high school girls backstage, especially Xiaolan who was talking happily and excitedly with Sonoko and Ye, Vermouth actually had a feeling of surviving a disaster and seeing the light after the clouds had cleared.

She had no intention of betraying Shimizu Koji or anything. Just as Shimizu Koji said, if he dared to let her go, he was not afraid that she would betray herself. Moreover, the secrets of the organization that she mentioned, especially the true identity of Vermouth, were almost her biggest secrets, so there was no need to betray her.

On the contrary, Vermouth had always had an inexplicable thought in her heart, and she didn’t even know when it started. Until just now, she seemed to have grasped a little bit of it. The existence and appearance of Shimizu Koji seemed to have really made her see some silver dawn.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Xiaolan and the others, “Xiaolan, Yuanzi, hurry up and get ready. The performance is about to begin.”

He Ye looked at Dr. Shinichi who suddenly came over, and couldn’t help but be attracted by his sunny and handsome appearance. Men and women are the same in this respect, both are full of appreciation for the opposite sex.

But He Ye was not a fangirl, just a little surprised, “Is this Dr. Shinde? Xiaolan, your male protagonist today?”

“Ah, Heye! What are you talking about!” Xiaolan blushed suddenly, and Heye also realized that she had said the wrong thing. Only Yuanzi smiled and didn’t care.

Vermouth looked at the girls and took the initiative to explain, “No.”

“Eh?!” Xiaolan Yuanzi, Heye and the others immediately widened their eyes.

Vermouth blinked, smiled slightly, and deliberately kept the secret: “Xiaolan, your male protagonist today is someone else~, but I can’t tell you.”

Now that things have come to this, even He Ye has realized, “Yes, it’s that worker——.”

Before she finished her words, she quickly covered her mouth. Although Xiaolan had known some of the news early on, she was still surprised and happy when she heard it for the first time.

She just saw Conan and really thought that Yukiko was deliberately playing a joke on her.

“Well, go get ready, I won’t bother you anymore.”

“Hey, goodbye, Mr. Shinde!”

“goodbye.”

After helping Haibara Ai put on Conan’s disguise again, Shimizu Koji took her back to the drama performance venue in the cultural and sports center, but of course they went directly to the audience seats.

At this moment, the hall was already very lively. The ambient lights on the stage were already on, and the curtains had been set up. The alumni and students who came to watch took advantage of the last moment to go to the beverage store next door to buy drinks. The beverage store was also opened by the students. After all, Class B of the second grade was only a class, and with such a large place, naturally students from other classes would also participate.

“Mai, I’ll leave the purchase of drinks to you.”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me!”

Koji Shimizu and Ai Haibara found an empty space to sit down. The row in front of them happened to be people from outside the school, or rather, alumni, successful alumni.

There were two women and three men, and they looked full of the atmosphere of materialism, the kind of corruption that was unique to dirty capitalism, which was also the special temperament of adults. However, the woman who went to buy drinks looked better. At least, Koji Shimizu felt that she was a good person.

Koji Shimizu didn’t pay attention to these people. He looked around and soon saw Kogoro Mori, who was scratching his head and laughing at the praises of several female students.

However, why didn’t I see Yukiko? If Shimizu Koji remembered correctly, she said that she planned to come and watch. After all, it was also Kudo Shinichi’s performance. Although Shimizu Koji didn’t want her to hang out, he didn’t have any power to stop Yukiko’s decision.

After looking around twice and not finding anyone, Koji Shimizu had a bad feeling in his heart.

“Remember, don’t do anything rash until the most critical moment.”

“Don’t worry Aunt Kudo, I understand.”

Yukiko, who was dressed up as an ordinary high school girl, raised her eyebrows and sat up straight silently. If it weren’t for the fact that it was inconvenient for her to move in this image, she really didn’t want to sit next to the silly Hattori Heiji.

There is a saying that there is no gap without comparison. Even if you dislike Kōji Shimizu, when compared with Hattori Heiji, Kōji Shimizu, who occasionally calls her sister, is simply a cute and obedient baby.

Hattori Heiji naturally had no idea what Yukiko was thinking. He was quite excited now. He was fully focused and was ready to do his best to interrupt the scene that would embarrass Kudo.

He will shout “Stop!” at the most critical moment, the quietest yet most exciting moment of the audience, and then make a grand appearance!

Of course, Hattori Heiji could not come up with such a gorgeous and attractive way of appearance on his own. This was all Yukiko’s idea. It really benefited this little boy a lot and made him feel that she was worthy of being a big star.

In this way, not only can a green tragedy of true love be prevented, but Kudo Shinichi’s identity will definitely draw a line between Xiaolan and that brat Conan in her heart with lightning speed. He is also willing to give it all for his good friend!

“He Ye, come over here!”

?

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. This call brought Hattori Heiji back to the human world from his imaginary paradise.

He turned his head and saw Shimizu Koji smiling and waving in a direction, with the brat Conan sitting next to him. When Hattori Heiji looked in the direction Shimizu Koji was waving, his pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

Kazuha, who was originally looking for an empty seat and acquaintances and was planning to sit next to Mori Kogoro, saw Shimizu Koji, and her face suddenly turned red when he called her name so loudly.

Compared to Xiaolan’s innocent shyness before, the shyness in her heart at this moment was mixed with a lot of colors that were no longer pure.

Whether it was her vague affection for Koji Shimizu, or his abdominal muscles with water drops dripping down and his seductive figure, or the aftertaste of Koji Shimizu giving roses to others in the morning and the lingering fragrance on his hands, all of these made her little face blush and become charming and attractive in an instant.

Even so, she couldn’t control her steps and subconsciously walked over to Shimizu Koji’s warm smile.

And with every step He Ye took, the gaze that was silently watching her amid the noisy crowd seemed to grow darker.

The whole world seemed to be quiet. If you listened carefully, you could even hear some breaking sounds.

He Ye, why is her face so red?

Chapter 533 The curtain opens

Koji Shimizu invited Kazuha to sit over. Actually, it was Ai Haibara who took the initiative to bring it up. She was the one who first noticed that Kazuha was in an awkward position with no place to sit, and that’s why Koji Shimizu called for help.

Otherwise, Shimizu Koji would still let Kazuha come over as long as he saw her.

I’m afraid it’s impossible. Besides, Haibara Ai won’t be angry with him about this. At most, when she remembers it at the critical moment, she might bite him hard twice. He can bear it, he can totally bear it.

And Kazuha was indeed very shy at the beginning, but after getting closer, she adjusted her mentality. After all, Conan was next to her, and Shimizu Koji would not and could not do anything to her in public. He just called her simply out of friendship.

After figuring this out, there was nothing to be shy about. “Well, thank you, Koji. I was just worried that there was nowhere to sit.”

“If you want to thank someone, thank her. If she hadn’t reminded me, I probably wouldn’t have noticed you, He Ye.” Shimizu Koji smiled and rubbed Haibara Ai’s head.

And Haibara Ai is now disguised as Conan, wearing a mask, and looks indifferent. She waved her hand coldly and pushed away the big hand that Shimizu Koji put on her head, without saying a word.

He Ye saw this and was stunned for a moment, but still thanked Conan. However, she also felt a little strange in her heart. If she remembered correctly, the relationship between Shimizu Koji and Conan didn’t seem to be so good.

If it was Heiji, it seemed quite normal, but Conan, isn’t he usually quite afraid of Koji?

Although Kazuha is not so sure about her own feelings, she is very thoughtful. She not only noticed that the relationship between Hattori and Conan is not normal, but also realized that Conan is a typical person who only smiles on the surface in front of Shimizu Koji, but no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.

Kazuha sat on the left side of Shimizu Koji, which was the inner side, while Conan, who was wearing makeup as Haibara Ai, leaned against the side of the aisle.

After He Ye sat down, Shimizu Koji didn’t have any special thoughts. Although He Ye’s faint body fragrance was really nice and his genes chose her, he still kept his hand and didn’t even intend to explain the misunderstanding in the morning to He Ye.

Because sometimes misunderstandings don’t need to be explained. Forcing an explanation will only make things worse.

Koji Shimizu couldn’t think of any good excuse to whitewash his abnormal behavior at the time, and no matter who came, it would be impossible.

After all, Kazuha is not an old hand like Shimizu Koji. Although she tried to suppress her shyness, she was still shy after all. Especially when she smelled the faint masculine scent wafting over from Shimizu Koji, she couldn’t sit still at all.

She looked around, coughed lightly, and stood up from her seat again. “Well, we still have a few minutes before we leave. I’ll go buy some drinks during this time. Koji-kun, Conan-kun, what do you want to drink?”

Koji Shimizu is not a bootlicker, so he was of course happy and relieved when Kazuha volunteered to buy the drinks. Haibara Ai also thought about it and directly said that she wanted to drink iced coffee, but under Koji Shimizu’s persuasion, both of their drinks became a glass of orange juice.

“Is that so? You all drink orange juice? I’ll drink orange juice too. Wait for me.”

He Ye nodded and turned to leave. She became lively and agile again, like a cheerful lark. Shimizu Koji now gradually understood why he liked He Ye. It was not only because of her beauty and the accident at the beginning, but more because of her character.

She is just like the white moonlight girl in the hearts of most boys during their youth.

Youthful and beautiful, charming and lively, innocent and adorable, Koji Shimizu was just a high school student before he started his “world travel”.

So, it can be said that we have not forgotten our original intention.

“My eyes will fall out if I look at it again~.”

Haibara Ai made a faint complaint. Shimizu Koji was stunned for a moment and looked away. He saw Haibara Ai had a pair of dead fish eyes, which really looked like Conan.

Koji Shimizu couldn’t help but smile, and while He Ye was away, he pinched her cheek.

Haibara Ai calmly pushed his hand away again. After all, there was a layer of disguise between them, so it was impossible to tell whether she was blushing or not.

“You don’t have any feelings for her, do you? She has a childhood sweetheart.”

Haibara Ai frowned slightly, which was a reminder, but it was also another way of expressing jealousy.

“Well, actually, she likes me.”

“? Huh?” There was only one word in Huibara Ai’s eyes – I don’t believe it.

Koji Shimizu had to continue writing the story reluctantly. Sooner or later, Haibara Ai would find out anyway. A naive girl like Kazuha would definitely not do anything with him secretly. She was not like Tetsumoha and Tsukamoto Susumi, who didn’t care about this at all and were happy as long as Koji Shimizu liked her.

Therefore, if Koji Shimizu wants to continue, their relationship will sooner or later be exposed. Moreover, what he said is not wrong. He has hardly taken any action yet, and a girl like He Ye is almost conquering herself.

Koji Shimizu is considered a veteran today. He can really read something from Kazuha’s eyes~.

“You know, it’s always like this when a hero saves a beauty,” Shimizu Koji explained quite seriously, but the suspicion in Haibara Ai’s eyes never disappeared.

In fact, she had noticed the subtle atmosphere between Shimizu Koji and Kazuha a long time ago, since that time in the hospital in Osaka. She also noticed the way Kazuha looked at Shimizu Koji these two days.

However, her personality would never allow her to say something like “Go and get her, I don’t care.”

“Hmph~, forget it, whatever you want, I don’t care about you anyway.”

After rolling his eyes at Shimizu Koji, the conversation ended there. Both of them lowered their voices and no one noticed what was happening here.

Koji Shimizu and Ai Haibara have been together for so long, so he should know what she is thinking. Even though he was given a cold shoulder, he was not in a bad mood at all.

He quietly reached out and held Haibara Ai’s little hand again, holding it in his palm to warm it. Haibara Ai struggled twice, snorted softly, and then silently accepted the silent apology and comfort.

Time passed minute by minute, and He Ye had not returned yet, but the girl in front of them had already returned.

“Sorry, sorry, there were too many people at that stall, so it took a little longer.”

Hong Shang Mai said as she handed the drink to Noda Yume, “Um, Yume, please help me distribute it to everyone. I want to go to the bathroom first.”
