CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 360: DON’T BE SO NERVOUS ABOUT ME

The next day was Saturday, and Mouri Kogoro and his group stayed at Mizunashi Reina’s rental house. The next morning, the prank doorbell ran

The next day was Saturday, and Mouri Kogoro and his group stayed at Mizunashi Reina’s rental house.

The next morning, the prank doorbell rang as expected.

When the culprit was finally caught, he turned out to be a very young elementary school student — his purpose for ringing the doorbell was simply to wake upReina Mizunashi.

Because Reina Mizunashi had recently been transferred from the morning show to the evening show and no longer participated in the recording of "Good Morning 7 o’clock Live," the elementary school students mistakenly believed she had overslept and missed the recording. So every Saturday, they would run over and ring her doorbell to wake her up.

He did this because Reina Mizunashi looked very much like his mother, who had died in a car accident last year.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Mouri Kogoro thought it was just a boring commission, but he was still very happy to get Reina Mizunashi’s email address and to help Okino Yoko.

Conan followed him away with a heavy heart.

Reina Mizunashi... is she really a member of that organization?

It wasn’t that Conan didn’t believe Hayashi Yoshiki, but when Reina Mizunashi realized it was a misunderstanding just now, she comforted the elementary school student and even cried with sympathy. He just couldn’t believe the other party was a member of that organization.

Could it be that Hayashi Yoshiki was mistaken?

As he was thinking this, a sound soon came from the eavesdropping device he had installed: the melody of "Seven Crows."

That was the keystroke tone of the Black Organization’s boss’s mailbox.

"I’m sorry, something went wrong, so I turned off my phone."

"Don’t worry, it’s not a serious problem. Um... okay, let’s meet at ten o’clock as planned, Gin."

"Of course, I’m ready for everything."

When Conan heard that Reina Mizunashi was actually talking to Gin

and that she really had some ulterior motive, his face suddenly trembled.

When Conan saw Reina Mizunashi driving past him, he immediately called Hayashi Yoshiki.

Hayashi Yoshiki had also gotten up.

When Conan said that Reina Mizunashi and Gin would meet at ten o’clock, he was not surprised at all, but just complained, "Gin, that guy, never needs to sleep."

"What?"

"He often stays up late drinking, and sometimes doesn’t go to bed until three or four o’clock... I get up at seven or eight and send him a message, and he replies immediately."

"... Are we talking about whether he sleeps or not?"

Hearing Hayashi Yoshiki’s somewhat respectful tone, Conan felt even more speechless: "So do you know where they plan to meet?"

"I don’t know, but I guess you’ve already used the bug and the transmitter, right?"

"..."

"I can’t get involved in their actions this time. But I found out that Reina Mizunashi will interview three candidates for the House of Representatives election today... I’m afraid their actions are related to these three people being interviewed."

Hayashi Yoshiki paused for a moment and said, "I’ll contact you later about the rest, or notify me immediately if there’s anything else."

Conan didn’t know what was going on with Hayashi Yoshiki, but he had great trust in him when it came to important matters, so he quickly hung up and chose to call Professor Agasa to take him to track down Reina Mizunashi.

Hayashi Yoshiki walked out of the room.

This was a cozy two-bedroom apartment. When he walked out, Okino Yoko had already prepared breakfast and walked out.

"Good morning, Yoshiki-kun."

"Good morning... Is it this rich?"

"Well, yesterday morning’s show had an advertisement requiring us to only make instant noodles, so I thought I had to make a rich meal for Yoshiki-kun today!"

Her bright smile was full of vitality.

Hayashi Yoshiki felt his mood lighten as he watched her.

What Yoko prepared was indeed incredibly sumptuous.

There were soups and salads with plenty of vegetables, sandwiches loaded with ingredients, and omelets made with ham and vegetables.

Hayashi Yoshiki noticed there was obviously more meat in the sandwich she made for herself.

"Yoko."

"Yoshiki-kun needs to eat more."

"I’ll try my best, but you still want me to be a regular guest on your morning show, right?"

"If it’s possible, I’ll be very happy."

She said with a grin.

Because there was still a filming task to do later, Yoko Okino had to leave almost immediately after breakfast.

Hayashi Yoshiki saw that she had taken medicine before going out.

She seemed to take the short-acting contraceptive pill on time every morning, which requires long-term use.

"It’s okay if you don’t take the medicine in the future, Yoko."

"... No."

Okino Yoko blushed and hugged Hayashi Yoshiki, "I like it that way better too."

Hayashi Yoshiki was speechless.

Then the two of them left the apartment one after another, and Hayashi Yoshiki also paid close attention to see if any paparazzi were waiting for them.

Getting into the car, he checked the time, took out his cell phone, and sent a text message to Vermouth:

Hayashi Yoshiki:[On a mission?]

Vermouth:[What do you want to do?]

Hayashi Yoshiki:[Don’t be so nervous about me.]

Hayashi Yoshiki:[Are you sure no one else is noticing your phone right now?]

Vermouth:[Of course.]

Hayashi Yoshiki:[Later, Gin might go to the Mouri Detective Agency, and Conan will appear and use football to attract his attention.]

Hayashi Yoshiki:[If we are going to act together, please be flexible.]

Vermouth: [What do you mean?]

What he sent was so weird that Vermouth couldn’t help but frown.

This guy, Cointreau...

When she thought about how he had treated her like a toy that day without any self-respect, Vermouth’s body and mind, which had finally calmed down over the past two days, tensed up again.

It was hard to tell what thoughts were echoing in her mind at that moment.

But, what exactly is he saying?

Vermouth raised her head and glanced at Gin inconspicuously.

Today’s mission was to kill a candidate named Domon Yasuteru, who had made many radical remarks against violent crime and had a high support rate among the people. The organization wanted to kill him not to eradicate the so-called sprout that might be detrimental to itself, but simply to pave the way for other candidates.

But these had nothing to do with Mouri Kogoro at all.

Just in case, Vermouth asked: "Today’s operation is only to kill DJ, right?"

"What else?"

Gin glanced up at the woman in the rearview mirror, feeling a little annoyed by her question.

"Vermouth, please be at ease for now. Why would I rush to the Mouri Detective Agency for no reason? As for what Cointreau said, just be a little cautious. If it really happens, just act flexibly as he said."

But then again, as far as she knew, no one had informed Cointreau about this operation.
