age is not a problem

Qingmei felt that she needed to do a good job of self-reflection. Ever since she got her current false identity by hugging Mr. Conan's thick short legs, her life has been so good that her sense of crisis has weakened. It's scum.

Ah, I just ate a stomach full of spaghetti, and now I am running like this... She really wants to vomit, really, the whole person is not well, okay!

It suddenly occurred to him that his direct boss, Boss Gin, in the organization was either busy killing undercover agents or on the way to kill undercover agents. Finally ver, and the indirect cause of ver is "I'm full of pasta"... Will he be relieved or yell p in his heart?

In my brain, I thought about everything from pna, pnb, pn to pnβ in order to come up with the best escape plan, and at the same time cursed her god who always loves to play in Italian, Japanese, and English in turn. Afterwards... She found out that God is still merciful, or rather, woke up by her scolding?

On this deserted street, at the intersection ahead, a figure that was not unfamiliar appeared in her vision.

Oh, saved.

……

After school today, I was delayed by the activities of the karate club, and Mao Lilan also took a short cut to go home as soon as possible.

"It's so late, I haven't gone shopping yet..." Mao Lilan looked at the time indicated by the watch on her wrist, thinking that there were two men, one big and one small, waiting for her to go back to cook. It also sped up a little bit.

at this time……

"Sister Xiaolan——!!!"

A voice that seemed to be shouting made Mao Lilan stop, turned around and looked...it was the girl she had seen several times when she went to Dr. Ali's house, that girl named Qingmei Asakawa , seems to be the child of Dr. Ari's friend.

I saw Qingmei rushing towards Mao Lilan like a whirlwind, and then hid in Mao Lilan's face with the expression of "I'm frightened", "I'm so scared" and "Wuuu, save me, this weak little flower". behind.

"Wuuuu, sister Xiaolan, that bad woman, she, she wants to kidnap me...uuuuuuuuuuu..." In terms of height, Qingmei is not much shorter than Mao Lilan, who is three years older than herself, but at this moment It just happened to show a pitiful look of a persecuted girl, which makes me feel pity.

And Mao Lilan, who has always had a heart of benevolence and righteousness to protect the weak, the fire of justice in her heart was naturally ignited instantly. She assumed a standard karate posture, guarded all over, and glared at the middle-aged woman who was chasing up over there.

Belmode didn't expect her anl to pass by here, let alone... that "devil red wine" would actually make such a cheap move?

She felt as if it was necessary to get to know her former colleague again.

But ah...

Hehe, sure enough, no matter what, the essence will not change... When I saw that Qingmei, who was hiding behind Mao Lilan, was holding a small but extremely sharp knife against Mao Lilan's waist, Belmode confirmed again that the person in front of him was undoubtedly Margot.

At this moment, Mao Lilan, who was fully focused on guarding against the "kidnapper" in front of her, was unaware of the danger coming from behind, and the dagger that kept only a few millimeters away from her body could stab any vital point in her body at any time. parts.

The opal-like pupils seemed to be frozen, which made people shudder, and at the same time, the gaze she cast towards the opposite side was also an undisguised threat... Qingmei's message to Belmode was quite concise and clear. Come on, besides, I have this girl you love as a shield.

As for the final result, there is no doubt that Belmode chose to retreat... Those who seize the opponent's weakness can always take the lead.

Seeing Belmod leave, Qingmei also silently put the dagger from her palm into her sleeve.

Seeing the "kidnapper" leave, Mao Lilan originally planned to catch up to bring him to justice, but Qingmei hugged Mao Lilan from behind, buried her head on her shoulder, and said in tears:

"No, don't leave me, sister Xiaolan... I'm so scared... I was scared to death just now..."

In fact, Mao Lilan was still a little puzzled. She always felt that the woman just now... didn't look like a kidnapper.But now, when Qingmei cried like this, her whole heart softened, and she just wanted to comfort the frightened little girl.

She has been in and out of many dangerous places with the famous detective father at home, and has seen all kinds of criminals, so she is very calm in the face of this situation.But such an ordinary little girl might be really frightened.

"It's okay, it's okay, the bad guy has already left." Mao Lilan also turned around, hugging the little sister in her arms to comfort her.

After chatting for a while, Qingmei also raised her head, and asked with a look of lingering fear: "Sister Xiaolan, can I borrow your mobile phone for a while, I want to call Dr. Ali..."

"Of course." Mao Lilan took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over, while thinking about whether to call the police.

After taking the phone, Qingmei fiddled with the screen, and then said distressedly: "Well... I haven't memorized the doctor's phone number, and I can't remember the number of the doctor's house..."

"I have Dr. Ali's phone number in my address book." Mao Lilan reminded her intimately, and then asked with concern: "Do you want me to take you home?"

"Well! Well! Okay! Then I won't let the doctor come to pick me up. It will be safe if you are there, sister Xiaolan." Qingmei handed the phone back with an expression of "I can finally feel at ease". Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan: "Then shall we go?"

"Well, good." Qingmei responded with a smile through her tears, and in the next second, "Ugh——"

Bending over as if about to throw up.

"Qingmei, what's wrong with Qingmei? Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Thinking that the little girl was really scared just now, Mao Lilan hurriedly asked while patting her back.

Qingmei just waved her hand to indicate that she was fine... Uh, after eating 21 plates of spaghetti and exercising so vigorously, she was not directly pulled away by the ambulance, hehe, it seems that her physical fitness has not been improved these days There is no degradation.

Vomit... No, I really want to vomit...

……

At night, Mihua Town, in the underground laboratory of Dr. Ali's home——

"What? You want that kind of antidote that can temporarily restore your body? What do you want to do?" Huiyuan, who was doing the experiment, stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at her who suddenly ran up and asked her without thinking. Such a beautiful request.

Nestled on the sofa in the laboratory, Qingmei maintained the firearm she hadn't touched for a long time, "Because tonight I asked Miss Belmode to come out and chat."

With a lazy tone, it was almost as if he was just asking his classmates out to discuss where to go for an outing.

And after hearing the name "Bermode", Huiyuan felt as if he had fallen into a nightmare for a moment, and his body trembled unconsciously.The witch who repeatedly tried to take her life had no less impact on her than gin.

Glancing at Huiyuan from the corner of the eye, after seeing his expression, Qingmei teased nonchalantly: "Why, just hearing the name of this bottle of wine, your winery's alarm radar is activated?"

"Stop joking!" Huiyuan became serious, and was a little annoyed by Qingmei's incomprehensible look at the moment, "How did you get in touch with Belmode? Also, you took the initiative to meet her, The organization is hunting you, the escaped undercover agent, do you want to send your head directly to them?!"

"That's right~ That's why I asked you for the medicine that can temporarily restore the body. At that time, at least I can be in the adult form, and the organization will not know the secret that aptx4 has a chance to rejuvenate people." Qingmei said All the words reveal the pride of "I'm really witty".

Hui Principle is really about to get angry: "Asakawa Kiyomi!"

After laughing twice, Qingmei finally sat up straight from the sofa, with a rare serious expression on her face:

"How did I get in touch with Belmode... Well, so, so, so, ah, it's too troublesome to explain. In short, she already knew that my body was getting smaller and mixed with you Something happened. I have an appointment with her tonight, and I also want to have a good negotiation with her once and for all. I don’t want to be wary of her who doesn’t know who she pretends to be so she can get close to me. It’s like a pistol. Don’t worry, I’m 90.00% [-]% sure that this negotiation will be successful, but there’s no such thing as an “absolute” after all, because of the possible failure rate of [-]% As a result, I fought with the other party and turned into a bloody incident, I still need to return to my adult appearance to see her, at least I won't suffer too much if I do it."

This evening, she borrowed Mao Lilan's mobile phone, pretended that she didn't remember Dr. Ali's phone number, and lingered there for a while, but actually took the opportunity to quickly send a text message to Belmod's mobile phone number, making an appointment She came out to meet at night.Of course, she cleared the sending record after sending it.

Since Belmode has already inquired about the situation of Conan's team, he must know that this is Mao Lilan's mobile phone number.

The reason why I sent it with Mao Lilan's mobile phone...is a warning to the other party, after all, this is my biggest bargaining chip.

Haibara finally gave Qingmei the medicine.

Qingmei played with this magical pill, "Oh, I'm a little excited when I think that I will have my familiar body again in a while."

Huiyuan: "You can be more serious, okay?"

"I'm very serious... Without bragging, my 24-year-old body has chest and buttocks, and the muscles of the limbs are smooth, and the waistline of the abdomen is also perfect. Would you like to appreciate it later? "

"That's not what I meant by 'seriously'!"

"Okay, okay." Qingmei raised her hand to signal a truce, and after a few seconds of silence, she finally said slowly: "If I don't come back before twelve o'clock in the morning... remember to let little brother Conan go Collect the body for me, I believe that with his infallible reasoning ability, he will be able to deduce how I died."

"...Can I take this medicine back now?"

……

At this moment, in Tsuna's apartment——

In the study room, Tsuna, who was sitting in front of the computer desk, was making a video call with Yuji at the headquarters.

"What! That fellow Lark didn't go with you on weekends?!"

The silver-haired man who had always been steady on the screen almost exploded when he heard what his beloved Judaime had just said, as if the maturity and stability just now were all illusions.

"It's nothing, Prison Temple, it's the same if Senior Cao Bi goes with me on weekends, and I can handle it myself." Tsuna reassured.

As for the reason why Yunshou refused to go with him on the weekend... because this weekend happened to be the annual celebration of Bingsheng Middle School.

Prison Temple was still a little worried and asked:

"But, no matter what, please ten generations, you must be careful in everything. The old man of the Deluca family will not cooperate until he sees you in person. Who knows what kind of idea he has in mind... If it wasn't because of Deluca If the Ka family holds several important ports, they will not be so arrogant. Moreover, it is said that the De Luca family seems to be involved with a secret organization."

"I will be careful. However, the one who should be really careful... is actually Italy..." While speaking, Tsuna's eyes became darker, and neither his expression nor his tone had any meaning.

"Indeed." Prison Temple also nodded, his dignified expression all showed his dignified mood at the moment.

Tilting his head back slightly, and leaning against the back of the seat, Tsuna kichi folded his fingers and said:

"The family just developed the retrospective ammo and handed it over to me, and the news that 'Vongola Judai is on vacation in Japan' spread to the De Luca family, and then the leader of the De Luca family must meet me in person. , Negotiate with me face to face before agreeing to cooperate. Sure enough, as soon as I leave the family, those people will be ready to move."

"Those old guys, shouldn't they also leak the news that Judaime's body has become smaller?" Guiji's tone unconsciously carried a bit of indignation.

And the "old guy" in his mouth refers to several veterans of the Pengelie family. They were originally the backbone of some departments during the ninth generation of the family, and they can be regarded as the remnants of the previous generation.Since the completion of the power handover ceremony that year, the ninth generation of Pengelie and the ninth generation of guardians have gradually withdrawn from the stage of the Pengelie family, but there are still a small group of people who are unwilling to let go of the power in their hands.

"That's not true. It's me they hate, not the Pengo Li family. If the news of my leader's physical problems spreads, it will not only have a major impact within the family, but those hostile families will naturally not let it go. This is a good time. They won't do things that shake the whole family."

Tsuna shook his head, then picked up the glass of cold water on the desk, and slowly stroked the transparent glass wall with his fingertips:

"The disgust and prejudice of those veterans towards me can never be eliminated, and there is no way to do it. After all, in their view, I grew up in Japan, and I never came into contact with the mafia world before I was 14 years old. It is unacceptable for ordinary Japanese who have lived in Italy to suddenly become the leader of the largest mafia in Italy. To them, I am like an intruder who suddenly came into their world. It's just the blood passed down there... With this, I stole the Pengelie family, the masterpiece that their previous generation painstakingly managed."

Prison Temple: "Judaimu..."

……

ten o'clock at night—

The agreed warehouse area, Belmode has already been waiting there.

When the time on the mobile phone jumped from "21:59" to "22:00", the person who asked her to come here finally appeared.

With a tall figure of 1.7 meters [-], there is no trace of excess fat on the whole body, and the muscles are tight and smooth. It does not give people a strong sense of impact like those fitness men, but it is full of strength.

He was wearing a dark coffee-colored baseball uniform on his upper body, his slender legs were wrapped in black cropped breeches, and he was wearing a pair of Martin boots of the same color.

The unique advantages of mixed blood, the facial features combine the delicacy of the East with the profundity of the West, with a mysterious exotic style.It's just that those beautiful cat's-eye pupils are calm and indifferent, even with a hint of coldness.

"Sure enough, you still look more pleasing to the eye when you look like this." Belmode looked at Qingmei who came tonight. She was negotiating everything tonight, so she didn't change her appearance, but showed her face directly. "The play that I performed this evening was really wonderful. I didn't expect you to be so talented in acting, and you would still make those expressions... If I were to join Hollywood, maybe I would be squeezed out by you."

"But..." Qingmei said quietly, then slowly raised the gun in her hand, pointing the gun at the beautiful woman in front of her: "The one standing in front of you now is Margo."

"It's too insincere to point a gun at someone else to negotiate." Belmode didn't show the slightest fear, and even his breath wasn't messy at all, and he still looked at Qingmei with a half-smile.Of course, the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"No way, after all, I'm at a disadvantage now."

"So, how do you want to turn the situation around?"

There was a few seconds of silence, and the air seemed to be filled with dead silence.

Finally, Qingmei broke the silence: "Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran are very important to you, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Belmode did not affirm or deny.

"You also know that the detective boy is a little brat with too much curiosity and desire to explore. If it wasn't because of your secret help a few times before, I'm afraid his cheat credits would have been used up." Qingmei glanced at her mouth and sneered, her complexion But there was no fluctuation: "Let's make an agreement, or... a deal. I will protect these two people, and you will act as if you never know about me."

Not in a hurry to give a reply, Belmode just asked back: "What if I refuse?"

"Then... at the moment before I was captured by the organization, the fact that Edogawa Conan was Kudo Shinichi would be known to the organization immediately. Kudo Shinichi was one of the testers of aptx4 at the beginning, I think Gin He is very interested in this, after all, he has an elusive paranoia about Shirley, the developer of this drug." While speaking, Qingmei has slowly put down the pistol she was holding, as if predicting that Belmode would not refuse This negotiation.

After another moment of silence, Belmode suddenly laughed, "Margo is indeed Margo, and I can use Conan Edogawa who has done his best to help you without any scruples."

"It seems that the negotiation has been reached." After dropping this sentence with a blank face, Qingmei turned and left without any explanation or lingering.

"But, you speak as if you can really do it." Leaning on the car he drove, Belmode lit a cigarette, "It's the same this afternoon, I want to threaten my anl's safety I...but hold the dagger in my right hand, you left-handed."

After pausing for a second, Qingmei continued to walk forward.

"Isn't it the same now, come back to see me as an adult on purpose, so that if I really cheat you to be eliminated by the organization, the secret of that medicine will not be leaked, which will implicate the other two and You are like a little guy who has been cast with the magic of time." Amidst the smog, Belmode glanced at Qingmei from the corner of his eye.

This time, Qingmei's footsteps did not stop, but her shallow words wafted in the night wind:

"It's just that I don't want to involve a series of incidents and increase the workload of Gin Jiu. My former boss is busy killing undercover agents every day. It's hard enough."

……

There was still some time before twelve o'clock in the morning, and Qingmei didn't plan to just go back to Dr. Ali's house, just wandering around like this.

It's rare to recover your body once, so if you don't enjoy it, wouldn't you be too sorry for the fruits of Huiyuan's painstaking research and development.

It is said that accidents in life always come unexpectedly. This is really reasonable, such as now.

Originally, she wanted to find a deserted river bank to enjoy the cold wind, but in the end...

"I've been looking for you for a long time but I haven't heard from you, and finally we met like this, a..."

When old friends meet again, it is always necessary to say hello. The man in front of me is going to call out her name casually as usual, just when he uttered the first sound...

In the next second, Qingmei raised her gun and pointed it at her old colleague from Sismi, and she smiled meaningfully:

"Please call me Asakawa Kiyomi, I still like this name."
