Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 2534: 2538 [Grayfield Ai's Journey to Hell]

Judy: “…” Although if you think about it carefully, it hasn’t been that long since then, but compared with the previous cases, life now is so peaceful that it makes people feel uneasy.

“Is it really that our new policy is working?”

Judy muttered in her heart: "As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke Wu Zuo, he won't create that kind of terrible scene with murderous intentions for us... Wu Zuo turned out to be such an easy-to-talk person?
"By the way, we put up such a big show to investigate him, but he didn't bear a grudge at all. He stopped murdering people just like that. This is really surprising. I am getting more and more curious about what kind of person he really is... But maybe after we retreated, he couldn't accurately grasp the movements of the FBI, so he had to stop?"

When an FBI is carefully figuring out his opponent.

Next to her, the "new doctor" who had been listening to her chattering all the way was also secretly lost in thought about the same thing.

"This group of annoying FBI finally remembered to do their job." Vermouth hadn't been annoyed by Judy like this for a while. Now that she had returned to her previous state, she couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

However, as an organization cadre with outstanding action ability, the Thousand-Faced Witch quickly refocused her attention on her real goal: "In this case, I should speed up the progress."

"Cool Guy's identity has been confirmed, so how far can the escaped wild cat be?" Vermouth, who looks like a gentle school doctor, pushes up his glasses, and a cold light flashes in his eyes. "I have a rough idea of ​​where Shirley's true identity is, but..."

But there seemed to be a terrible thing guarding next to the weak prey - although there was no evidence, just because Shirley had not appeared in the news as a victim so far, Vermouth could be sure that Uzo would not stand on her side when it came to capturing or killing Shirley.

Thinking of this, Vermouth began to feel like backing out.

But soon, thinking of the so-called scientists who created APTX4869, she took a deep breath and reaffirmed her goal: it’s not a big problem, as long as she operates it properly, Wu Zo may not know that she was the one who arrested him.

To say the least, even if Wu Zuo guessed it... as long as she completed this task in time, she could give up the identity of "Dr. Shinde". By then, even if Wu Zuo was dissatisfied with her behavior, everything would have been settled, and she could retreat back into the dark and stay away from here.

"Oh, the car is coming!"

A voice interrupted the struggle in her heart. Judy beside her looked at the end of the road and said happily, "We are lucky. There is a car right after we arrive - we don't have to wait."

The spacious bus turned the corner and stopped steadily in front of them.

The two lined up behind several other passengers and boarded the bus as the announcement was made.

……

On the bus.

Huiyuan Ai felt as if her heart was suddenly squeezed by a big hand, and her chest was beating violently. Some kind of indescribable intuition told her that a more disgusting and dangerous aura than before appeared on this bus.

...No, there's more than just that one, there are more auras of the organization!
——Before she could come to her senses, another passenger came up to the bus entrance among the crowd.

The already strong smell of the organization in the air suddenly became so strong that it seemed to solidify. Huiyuan Ai huddled in her hood, her pupils trembling: Why, why are there so many? - What happened? Did she stay up too late recently and her senses were damaged?

"Okay, there are so many organizational auras... an ordinary bus, haha, how is this possible." Huihara Ai's expression was a little dull, and she was thinking in confusion, "There must be something wrong with me... Calm down, calm down first, and then feel it again - maybe everything is just my illusion?"

Haibara Ai closed her eyes, took a few slow, deep breaths, and looked around again.

"..."

After a few seconds, a young figure fell silent.

……

"Jiang Xia?"

A voice sounded from the aisle. Judy spotted an acquaintance in the car and greeted him with surprise: "And these kids too. What a coincidence. You guys are going out too?"

Although she had to put her work focus back on being a "new teacher", Judy had been paying attention to Jiang Xia for so long that she unconsciously cared about the movements of this high school student - after all, not long ago, she was still trying every means to get close to Jiang Xia and travel with him.

"Now that I didn't take the initiative to approach him, I met him easily." Judy couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and at the same time, she instinctively began to get nervous. "Speaking of which, the crime rate around Jiang Xia...Is there any brutal murder case that suddenly happened on this bus?"

After a few days of peace, Judy looked back and realized how hard her life had been. Now, she felt a chill down her spine when she thought that those times might come back.

"No, no, no, Jiang Xia often goes to Beika Town. Isn't it normal to meet this high school student here? Don't think too much about it."

"But, as an FBI agent, I shouldn't avoid difficulties. Instead, I should proactively assume all kinds of dangers that I might encounter and always think about how to deal with them."

Instinct and responsibility were pulling back and forth, and in the end, Judy closed her eyes and chose the third way.

"It's not a big problem. Shuichi is following us today." Judy shifted her burden elsewhere, feeling relieved. "If anything happens, I will just observe his movements and cooperate with him. As a qualified agent, the first thing I need to learn is to trust my teammates."

……

Judy was feeling conflicted.

In the car, Conan didn't expect that such a small bus would suddenly gather so many suspicious people in his eyes.

After thinking about it, Conan decided to test the waters. He put on an innocent child's voice and asked, "Are Dr. Shinde and Teacher Judy dating?"

"Of course not." "Dr. Shinde" smiled, "I just ran into a colleague and went along the way."

"No no no." Judy came back to her senses and laughed too. She shook her finger at Conan and corrected him, "Smart boy, you guessed right - we are going to the Ueno Museum of Art on a date together today."

"Dr. Shinde" firmly kept his distance from her: "We just happened to meet on this road."

"Oh, how cold." Judy snorted, "A gentleman shouldn't embarrass a girl in public."

"Dr. Shinchu" was unmoved: "We are colleagues after all. It would be bad if rumors of an office romance spread around the school."
