Chapter 106

She suddenly leaped up, her two long, slender legs clamping around Akaso Kaze's waist.

"Don't think that just because I don't have the necklace, I can't kill you!"

She glared with her beautiful big eyes, staring at Akaso Kaze's peerless face.

This guy... is really too handsome!

"What I'm best at is actually endurance; I, I'm going to tire you out..."

Akaso Kaze looked at the stubborn female assassin with black lines on his forehead.

Assassin girl, your position is all wrong!

In the afternoon, Haibara Ai came to the laboratory.

To protect her, Akaso Kaze hadn't brought her along during the handover.

Now that the laboratory was his, he naturally had to let her see it.

If any equipment was missing, he could continue to purchase it.

"How did that female assassin become your bodyguard?"

Haibara Ai asked curiously.

"Her? Her stamina wasn't good enough, so I beat her into submission."

"Beat her into submission? I think you 'slept' her into submission."

Haibara Ai gave him a look of disdain.

"Who hired her to deal with you?"

"Her mission wasn't actually to kill me." Akaso Kaze rubbed his nose.

"This is a way for the Black Organization to screen peripheral members—giving them some tests to see if they can meet the requirements."

"And unfortunately, I became the target for their test of peripheral members."

"You've been targeted by the Black Organization?" Haibara Ai's eyes widened.

"It was only a matter of time." Akaso Kaze was indifferent.

"Someone as famous as me is bound to become a target for the Black Organization."

"However, it seems now they are just a bit curious about my abilities."

"Let's not talk about that. How does it feel? Are you satisfied with this private laboratory?"

Akaso Kaze asked with a smile.

"It's okay, the basic equipment is all there." Haibara Ai replied, then reached out to push open the attic window and looked out.

Suddenly, she let out an "Oh?"

0 0

Then she pointed to the front right, not far away, and said, "That should be Kudo and Dr. Agasa's house, right? I really didn't expect the laboratory to be so close to there."

"Perfect, I'm still missing some key experimental materials..."

A sharp glint flashed in Haibara Ai's eyes.

Seeing the sun slanting to the west, Akaso Kaze led Haibara Ai out of the laboratory.

Just as they reached the street, several familiar figures appeared not far away.

Immediately afterward, a familiar voice was heard:

"Wow! It's Akaso-niisan and Haibara-doukyuusei! Why are they here?"

"Akaso-niisan!"

Amidst the noisy shouting, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko had already run over.

Little Ayumi threw herself into Akaso Kaze's arms, making Haibara Ai curl her lip.

This lolicon.

Conan followed behind, walking over slowly as well.

"Why are you guys here today?" Akaso Kaze asked.

"We were just playing games at the Doctor's house and were just about to head home."

"Why is Akaso-niisan here?" Conan asked curiously.

"Haibara likes doing experiments, so I just bought a laboratory and brought her to see it."

The brat Conan looked at the small building not far away, speechless.

How much money does this swindler actually make? He buys a whole building just like that.

And the reason is actually for a seven or eight-year-old girl to do experiments.

The world of the rich is truly incomprehensible.

But come to think of it, what kind of experiments can a seven or eight-year-old loli do?

If she wants to do experiments, wouldn't buying her a few test tubes and beakers be enough?

Just as he was lost in thought, Conan suddenly shivered.

He turned his head and was startled.

The person he was just criticizing was looking at him with the same gaze one would use for a lab mouse.

Damn, why is there such a terrifying feeling?

In a dark room, Gin was sitting on the sofa.

"That assassin named Tachibana Mayu didn't pass the organization's test?"

"Yes." Vodka, sitting opposite, nodded. "Although she dodged several tests arranged by the organization, she failed the mission targeting the objective and instead became the target's mistress."

Gin snorted coldly, "Women really can't be relied upon."

"Boss, should we get rid of her? And what about the target named Akaso Kaze—should we take him out too?"

"No rush." Gin grinned, revealing his white, ghastly teeth.

"The commissions for the assassins were all passed through the network; we didn't leave a single trace."

"Besides, the organization currently needs an agile assassin skilled in close-quarters assassination. It's very difficult to find targets to recruit such assassins."

"It's perfect—let that Tachibana Mayu and Akaso Kaze become the targets for testing our assassins."

"Let them provide some residual value in the final moments of their lives."

Ueno Station, Taito Ward, Tokyo.

Akaso Kaze, Detective Mouri, Ran, and Conan walked onto the platform with their luggage and, following the crowded throng, boarded the Hokutosei No. 3 train.

They were going on a trip to Sapporo.

There was a ranch there, and he heard the environment was very nice—a great place for a vacation.

Of course, that ranch was territory of the Hatamoto family, and even the train tickets for this luxury trip were booked with Xia Xia Jiang's help.

This trip was actually thanks to Akaso Kaze.

The Hokutosei was a luxury sleeper train; except for Mouri Kogoro and Conan, who shared a compartment, Akaso Kaze and Ran each had their own.

The travels of the rich are just that luxurious.

"Tonight is a French feast; it would be better to pair it with red wine, right?"

In the dining car, Mouri Kogoro's eyes were shining.

"Dad! We are on a train today; even if you want to drink red wine, you can only have one glass!" Ran, the housekeeper, was very strict.

"Uncle, you can't drink too much! If you lose your composure after drinking, it will damage your reputation as a famous detective." Conan added.

Akaso Kaze sat leisurely beside Ran, casually tasting the fine wine.

It made Mouri Kogoro's mouth water.

Just then, an abrupt voice came from behind, drawing everyone's attention: "Why is it such a small room!"

A curly-haired man with a mustache was sternly scolding a young man in glasses standing in front of him.

"Didn't I tell you to book a luxury suite?"

It seems there are really a lot of nouveau riche on this train!

Unfortunately, some things cannot be solved just by having money.

"But, Boss, you only said you wanted to take this Hokutosei train a week ago!"

The man in glasses explained, "Because this is a very famous luxury train, it's already very lucky to be able to book a regular room on such short notice."

"Hmph, to think I have to stay in the same grade of room as you. My wife said it's too embarrassing to go on a trip staying in this kind of room, which is why she's been staying in the room and refusing to come out."

The curly-haired boss said with disdain.
