Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 395 The tip of the iceberg

Half an hour later.

Da da da--

In the quiet corridor, the footsteps were particularly clear.

Rena Mizunashi, Kōji Shimizu, and Vermouth walked side by side and soon arrived at a closed door.

Pushing open the door, there was a bar with luxurious and elegant decoration, but it was empty, with only walls full of fine wine and a few tables.

Well, how can a winery not have a bar? This is the organization’s special bar.

However, under Gin's leadership, the work has been very busy, the time has been tight, and the tasks have been heavy, so not many people would come here to rest and take a nap.

It was only after Vermouth returned that the bar was reopened.

Koji Shimizu was walking while playing with a photo in his hand. The person in the photo was none other than his beautiful wife Shiho Miyano.

To be honest, Koji Shimizu can hardly remember what Haibara Ai or Miyano Shiho looked like back then. At first glance, they were still quite stunning and very likable.

Both big and small are great.

"Are you bewitched? Sarco?"

Vermouth walked into the bar, glanced at Shimizu Koji calmly, chuckled and spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Rena Mizuno also looked at Shimizu Koji, but she was not very interested in Shirley at the moment because she had no idea where to find her.

"Huh? How come?"

Of course, Koji Shimizu denied it flatly, and even wanted to do it again - I'm not interested in women~.

But looking at Vermouth's half-smile, as if she could see through his thoughts, Shimizu Koji touched his nose with a little embarrassment and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to talk nonsense.

"She is indeed very pretty."

There's nothing wrong with praising his wife. It's a rare occasion recently when Koji Shimizu puts his thoughts and actions into context.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth remained calm, only smiling slightly, then pursed her lips and gestured to Shimizu Koji: "Sacco-kun, it seems that I have to trouble you to work part-time as a bartender tonight, do you mind?"

Koji Shimizu was also unaware of Vermouth's prejudice against Shirley. This matter was even a secret within the organization, and only a very few people knew about it.

So, he didn't think too much about it at this moment. He glanced at Mizunashi Rena, nodded and agreed.

After all, there were two women and one man, so it was indeed appropriate for him to be the bartender, and he just had to open a bottle of wine~.

"As I said before, a glass of sherry."

"Me too, thank you."

Vermouth and Rena Mizunashi sat down at the bar. It must be said that although they are two women living in the dark, with the night, drinks and lights, they are still full of vibrant feminine charm.

Like two roses with thorns.

Koji Shimizu walked into the bar, turned around and found a bottle of 'Sherry' in the cabinet. With a little curiosity, he opened the bottle of wine and poured himself a glass.

He seldom drinks, and the time at Kisaki Eri's house was because the wine was very helpful to him.

But now, he really wanted to taste the wine.

"Sunshine in a bottle~~."

Vermouth gently shook the crystal goblet, and the red wine in the glass even turned black, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the sunlight.

However, under Vermouth's gaze, Koji Shimizu took a sip and found that Vermouth's inexplicable words were really quite suitable for him, light, sweet, and rich, without the bitterness he had imagined.

"Are you interested in Sherry?" Rena Mizunoshi on the side almost turned into an invisible person. Vermouth didn't seem to care that she was next to her, and looked like she wanted to have a serious chat with Koji Shimizu.

After a brief thought, Shimizu Koji nodded and admitted, "After all, she is a traitor. I also hate the existence of traitors. Moreover, I think the boss seems to be very concerned about this woman's defection. She is the only S on the wanted list within the organization. Even that Rye, the FBI agent Akai Shuichi, is only A."

Shuichi Akai, in fact, Koji Shimizu only knew this name not long ago, he found it in the organization's information.

Naturally, he asked Vermouth for that information, on the grounds that he wanted to understand the situation of the organization.

"I can't tell. I thought you were in love with Shirley. She is indeed very beautiful. And if you had met her, you might really like her. Her personality is very compatible with yours~."

Vermouth shook her head and said half-jokingly.

"Haha, is that so? But unfortunately, she is a traitor."

"But—it's possible."

Vermouth took a sip of red wine and hesitated to speak.

"Nothing?" Koji Shimizu also felt something was wrong at this moment. Vermouth kept calling Shirley. How come she cared about his wife more than he did?

"No, nothing at all~~."

But this time, Vermouth said nothing at all, and started to act mysterious again.

Koji Shimizu was already immune to this, so he curled his lips and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions.

Because if you ask further, you will probably get the answer "Secrets make a woman more feminine", and it's in English.

Rena Mizuno, who was standing by, was drinking silently, but her mind was always on the conversation between Koji Shimizu and Vermouth.

Through today's contact, she now cares very much about Koji Shimizu.

He is not a murderer as she thought, and although his personality seems a little difficult to get along with, he is still a young student after all, a newcomer to the organization. As a CIA, it is difficult for Mizunoshi Rena not to care about this.

"Um, Sarko, do you know Maori Kogoro? Are you very familiar with him?"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Kiel?"

"Call me Mizunashi Reina. This is the name I use as a reporter now. I think we will meet again in the future."

Rena Mizuno smiled slightly. Her feeling was indeed correct. Shimizu Koji thought of the reporters who would always take action whenever there was an incident, and nodded in approval.

"I'm planning to visit Maori Kogoro recently. If possible, could you please accompany me?"

"Oh why."

Rena Mizuno knew that her request was quite abrupt, and Vermouth beside her also cast a slightly interested look at her.

But she had already thought of a reason on the way here. She put her hands in front of her and her eyes instantly became serious. "In addition to traitors, the organization also has some negligence and mistakes that may be missed by accident."

"According to my investigation, the high school detective Shinichi Kudo who was killed by Gin with drugs was initially listed as missing, but when Shirley went to his home to investigate, his information was corrected to death."

To be honest, Koji Shimizu has started to get a little nervous. It's not that he's afraid of Conan being exposed, but mainly because if Conan is exposed, then Ai will inevitably be exposed as well.

Of course, he also cares about Conan's safety (I'm sure).

"Well, these seem to be fine, but I found a very interesting phenomenon. That is, after Kudo Shinichi disappeared, the previously unknown Maori Kogoro began to become famous and solved many murder cases one after another. It's as if someone suddenly helped him secretly."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he suddenly comes to his senses, so I plan to investigate. If Sakko and Maori Kogoro are familiar with each other, it would be better for us to go together."

Rena Mizunoshi blinked her eyes in a slightly playful but meaningful way. It seems that she understands human nature very well.
