Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 545 Is this okay?!

"Is there anything wrong with this invitation?"

Koji Shimizu didn't think he would be interested in this thing. It was obvious at first glance that it was something with bad intentions. Either it had a grudge against Yusaku Kudo or Shinichi Kudo. Considering that Kogoro Mori also received an invitation, it could be speculated that it might have a grudge against the detective.

It’s not surprising that he thought so. After all, he had lived in Kudo’s house for half a year, and similar situations had happened before.

Especially after Conan moved to Mouri Kogoro's place, Shimizu Koji could see Mouri Kogoro on the news almost every two days, so he no longer likes to watch the news. After all, it's all about that creepy old man, what's there to watch?

Haibara Ai didn't say anything, but took out two printed documents from her little red schoolbag.

Koji Shimizu took it and what came into view was a manor villa that looked eerie, ancient and solemn at dusk. It was located on the edge of a cliff and surrounded by dense jungle.

"I looked up some information." Haibara Ai paused, seeming a little hesitant, but before coming, she had thought about it for a long time. She still came, so she would tell Shimizu Koji everything she found out.

"This manor, called Twilight Villa, was once the property of the Karasuma family several decades ago. Or, to be more precise, it was the villa of the wealthy Karasuma Renye."

Shimizu Koji was stunned, and immediately understood what Haibara Ai meant when she said that he would be interested.

He has been concerned about the Karasuma Group these days, but the current Karasuma Group is very different from the one that Karasuma Renye used to control, both internally and externally.

Decades ago, the Karasuma Group had its tentacles spread across all walks of life in Japan. Take the manufacturing industry as an example. Whether it was an automobile factory or a shipbuilding dock, Karasuma Heavy Industries was a well-known large group at the time. However, Karasuma Heavy Industries was only a part of the Karasuma Group.

However, up to now, those large enterprises and groups that were once named after the Karasuma surname have disappeared one after another and changed their ownership. It is not only troublesome to investigate them, but also not of much value.

Now, there are only a few ordinary medium and large enterprises that are openly controlled by the Karasuma Group, and the previous Baijiu Pharmaceutical is one of them.

"Is it his villa? Then what about this invitation——?"

Koji Shimizu immediately became cautious, but after a little thought, he knew that it was impossible for Karasuma Renya, who no one knew what he looked like or where he was hiding, to suddenly send an invitation to these little detectives.

Unless eating the flesh of these detectives can make you immortal.

Koji Shimizu sneered in his heart, then opened the letter again. Unfortunately, the letter did not reveal any other information except that the person claimed to be the owner of the Dusk Villa.

Haibara Ai silently observed Shimizu Koji's reaction. Seeing that he looked calm, not even nervous or impatient at all, she knew that she was overthinking.

Although she knew Koji Shimizu very well, she was still subconsciously worried about the fact that he was secretly doing things in the organization behind her back. But now, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, how could Shimizu Koji be as reckless as that guy Kudo? He never made her worry.
The corners of her mouth gradually curled up, and Haibara Ai put her little feet on Shimizu Koji's thighs, and Shimizu Koji began to play with them casually.

"That's all the information I can find at the moment. If this building wasn't so big and so eye-catching, it would probably be hard to find on the Internet."

"Anyway, it's definitely not Karasuma Renya himself who's behind this invitation, but there might be some clues, so, Koji, are you planning to go?"

"Of course." Shimizu Koji smiled and touched her head. Haibara Ai dodged but failed to avoid it. She couldn't help but frowned and looked at Shimizu Koji with dissatisfaction.

Because the hand that Shimizu Koji was touching her head had just let go of her little feet.

But it was just a slight dissatisfaction that flashed by.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do? Like you said before? Are you really going to take over the organization..." At this point, Haibara Ai's eyes and tone couldn't help but become a little weird again. Although she believed in Shimizu Koji very much, when she thought about it carefully, it still felt like a fantasy.

It was only not long ago that she and her sister were barely rescued and taken in by him, and then they had to be careful to avoid being discovered by someone who might have done something deliberate. But in the blink of an eye, Shimizu Koji had actually turned around and was eyeing the organization.

This was really hard to imagine for her. If Vermouth hadn't been so cooperative, even docile, and if Shimizu Koji hadn't told her about the Tie family, she would probably not be able to sleep now.

Oh, that shouldn’t happen. Sleeping at night is still very relaxing and comfortable. I fall asleep while playing.

"If you can, of course you should try. After all, there are more people targeting you than just the organization. If you take down the organization, it will be very useful even if it is used as a shield, right?"

As Shimizu Koji spoke, he lifted Huihara Ai from his armpits and brought her to him, rubbing her face affectionately, while saying, "I really don't know what kind of treasure is in your little head. I can't help but look forward to it. The medicine for immortality, hey, if you really make it, can't we be together forever? Do you want to work harder?"

Haibara Ai blushed a little when Shimizu Koji rubbed her, or maybe she was not used to Shimizu Koji's way of being intimate with her, which made her feel like she really became a child.

She didn't like it, but she didn't dislike it either.

Koji Shimizu put Haibara Ai down, and Haibara Ai blinked her eyes, without even lowering her head, she just stepped on her with her foot, and then showed her usual look of disgust and contempt, glancing at Koji Shimizu.

"Crack!" There was another burst of lightning and thunder, and the rain curtain had already spread outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

The pitch-black sky was confined in front of the small window, like the mouth of an open abyss, as if it was going to swallow Koji Shimizu.

Koji Shimizu sat on the sofa, looking out the window with a melancholy expression. He sighed softly, put down the teacup in his hand, then lowered his head and touched the hair of Haibara Ai who was lying on his lap.

"Why don't you give me a massage with your feet? Otherwise, you might be very tired, and you're wearing socks today. Well, it should feel pretty good."

Haibara Ai raised her little face, as if she was tired of massaging his legs and was not very happy, especially when she heard that Shimizu Koji was going to change the method. This slight pause would mean that all her half a day's efforts would be wasted.

I really don't know how Shimizu Koji's body grew up. She clearly tried her best, but the result was...
She looked down at her own feet and said, Shimizu Koji, this is all you have achieved!

"Hehe, then why don't I carry the backpack too." Haibara Ai's tone was very dissatisfied, but not only did Shimizu Koji not hear it, his eyes lit up instead.

"Is this okay? Shiho, you're amazing~."

Huihara Ai immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Go to hell!"

After glaring at Shimizu Koji with some annoyance and speechlessness, Haibara Ai still reached out to tidy up her little red schoolbag, put it on her back, and then sat down on the coffee table silently.

"How are you going to go? Kudo asked me to tell you that Xiaolan is going too, so you'd better not dress up as him."

Haibara Ai had a blank expression on her face. Official business had to be handled in an official manner. Even though she was interrupted for a while, she still had to make the decision.

"Then I'll go with them and tell them that it was Kudo who asked me to do it. Shiho, you look so cold right now."

Before Shimizu Hiroji could finish his words, Haibara Ai, who was trying to keep a cool face with her hands on the coffee table and her schoolbag on her back, suddenly had a strange light in her eyes. She snorted coldly and increased her strength viciously.
