Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 245 Qi Ming, Master of Psychological Counseling

Before Ai Haibara could reply, Vermouth chuckled twice, leaned her head back on the sofa, and said with a playful tone:

"Sorry for asking a stupid question, after all, we're both women."

"Cosmetics and skincare products—no woman doesn't want to stay young forever. You must be very happy, so happy that tears will well up in your eyes."

Ai Haibara stared blankly at Vermouth.

Perhaps it was because Vermouth no longer harbored any hostility towards him at this moment.

Or perhaps this was the first time they had looked each other directly and talked like this.

After Vermouth said those words, Ai Haibara inexplicably sensed a sense of sorrow in the other person's expression.

Contemplating Vermouth's question, Ai Haibara lowered her head and then softly said:

"You're probably not in a good mood, are you?"

Vermouth frowned.

"what are you saying?"

The woman opposite him had her head bowed, and Vermouth had no idea what kind of expression Ai Haibara was wearing.

"Does staying young mean you'll never grow old?"

"If I am the only one with this ability, then I can only watch helplessly as the people around me leave one by one and grow old, and I will not dare to recognize them because of my unchanging appearance."

"If I had such medicine in front of me, I would rather destroy it."

Vermouth stared blankly at Ai Haibara.

It seemed that this woman was not what she had imagined.

Vermouth gave a soft hum.

"That's why I hate you, because your answer is completely different from mine."

"I should have taken care of you while you were still studying abroad. After all, shootings are quite common there, and even if you died under mysterious circumstances, it seems like no one would suspect anything."

Ai Haibara raised her head again, and her lips twitched when she heard Vermouth's words.

Then Ai Haibara got up, walked to Vermouth, and gently said:

"You forgive me, and I forgive you too."

"..."

Vermouth glanced at Ai Haibara's small face, then turned her head away without responding.

After all, what she had just said was far too obvious; even a fool could see that her question was about her.

It's clear that Ai Haibara deduced what the Miyano couple's drug research results were, and also deduced that she herself had taken the drug developed by the Miyano couple.

However, no one forced me to eat it; I ate it voluntarily.

Later, she also experienced the negative consequences of remaining young forever.

Actually, this was her own choice.

However, to make herself feel better, she attributed everything to the Miyano couple who developed that drug, and Miyano Shiho, who is now continuing the research.

Moreover, Vermouth is actually somewhat obsessed.

After all, once Shiho Miyano escapes, the organization will definitely have a successor to continue researching drugs.

You, Vermouth, why don't you go and kill them all too!

Just as the two fell silent, a sudden voice rang out in the room:

"Can't you speak properly? I can't understand you!"

The sudden noise made Vermouth and Ai Haibara tense up instantly, and they both turned their gazes toward the open space where the sound came from.

Are there other people in the room?

Suddenly, rectangular beams of primary colors began to flash in the air. As the beams intertwined, a blurry figure gradually emerged clearly.

When the light completely dissipated, Qi Ming's figure suddenly appeared.

Upon seeing Qi Ming appear, Vermouth's lips twitched slightly.

What is that? Optical camouflage?

(I'll revise and add to this chapter later. I feel like there's something wrong with it, but I don't know what it is. ˙?8?3˙)
