age is not a problem

"Qian, Chuan, Qing, Mei...?"

Nicole read the name in Japanese with a thick Italian accent, and frowned awkwardly:

"It's so strange to read, a..."

Qingmei, who had already slowly put down the gun in her hand, pointed the gun at her old colleague again: "I said it all, please call me Asakawa Qingmei."

Nicole, who raised his hands to express his surrender, said helplessly, "k, k, Kiyomi."

Seeing Nicole's depressed expression, Qingmei finally raised her eyebrows and put the gun away, but her whole body was still in a state of vigilance:

"What are you looking for me for?"

"I should be the one asking you this." Nicole also got a little serious, and his tone became more serious: "After the undercover mission of that organization failed, since they escaped, why didn't they return to sismi or even contact us at all? ?”

Faced with so many questions, Qingmei answered irrelevant questions, and even snorted provocatively:

"Didn't that person tell you why I was discovered by the organization as an undercover agent?"

As soon as this remark came out, Nicole suddenly didn't know how to answer it, as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow or spit it out.

Probably because of the constipated expression of the old colleague, Qingmei finally had the desire to talk about business, "What are you doing in Japan? I don't believe that you came here specifically out of caring for your colleagues. Find me and give me something warm."

Nicole said solemnly: "...Qingmei, you seem to talk more than before, no, it's too much."

Then he was pointed at the muzzle of the black hole again.

"Just kidding." Nicole raised his wrists again and surrendered, and then changed his tone at work: "I did come to Japan this time with other missions. There is definite information that the Pengel family's The leader of the Judaimu is currently on vacation in Japan, and will conduct a deal with the leader of the DeLuca family in Japan in the near future. Vengley Judaimu, you should know something, right?"

"Nonsense, I didn't grow up in the backcountry of Italy." Qingmei rolled her eyes.

Compared with other countries, there is a big difference in the power structure of this country in Italy, that is, the powerful influence of the Mafia.There is no mafia in any country that can have such an influence on the country's situation like the Italian mafia. The Italian mafia is not just operating in the dark. It has all infiltrated the political, military, and business circles. A network of social power that affects each other.

The strongest mafia family in Italy is the long-established Vengley family headquartered in Sicily. It can even be said that they are the uncrowned kings of Sicily, and they are the real rulers of Sicily.The Pengelie family has now passed down to the tenth generation. The name of the head of the family is not known to the outside world, and even the vast majority of non-core members of the family do not know, because everyone respectfully calls each one by "several generations". The leader of a generation, such as the current "Vongola X".Or you can directly call him "Vongola", because he is the representative and symbol of Vengley.

Nicole: "Qingmei, don't forget, you are no longer a member of subin, you were expelled by them two years ago, now you are a member of our sismi."

Forced to review her unemployment history, Qingmei was a little annoyed, "So, what do you want to say?"

"Many high-level executives in subin have been inextricably linked with the mafia. You should have heard of this when you were in subin, right?"

Qingmei nodded with no special expression.When I was in the army, I did hear a few words from the seniors, such as the former ace fighters Colonello and Lal Milch whose deeds were regarded as legends of the previous generation by the army.

"However, our Sismi position is exactly the opposite. The party supported by our top management is to eradicate the influence of the mafia to win higher public opinion. After all, it will be the Italian general election next year..."

Hearing the words here, Qingmei, who had already guessed something about it, interrupted directly:

"So you are here this time to take action against the Tendaimu Vongola who is currently enjoying his life leisurely in a certain corner of Japan. It is best to capture him alive. If you can't do it, it doesn't matter if you just kill him. Then By the way, look for me who has not been heard from, and if you find it, can you help me?"

Although it sounded like he was insulting himself, Nicole could only nod his head:

"...That's right."

"Hey, Nicole, who did sismi send this mission to?"

"It's for the action team I'm in, and the rest of the team have also come to Japan together."

Qingmei shrugged her shoulders as if "it's none of my business", "Since it's a task for your team, what does it have to do with me?"

"But you are also a member of sismi after all, and our goals and interests are the same." Nicole continued to persuade, knowing Qingmei's heart knot, he also persuaded patiently, "Don't worry, it said above, the Bureau will Those who protect you will not let that organization entangle you again, and you can also do other tasks with peace of mind."

After a long silence, what responded to him... was Qingmei's sleepy yawn:

"Let's talk about it, I'm a little tired recently."

Nicole: "Okay, today next week is still this time, I'll wait for you here."

……

When the time on the clock pointed to [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, Hui Yuan, Conan and Dr. Ali who were sitting in the living room waiting for the news could not sit still.Especially Haibara, whose fate has been entangled with that organization since birth, she is very clear about the darkness of the organization, and as time goes by, she regrets giving the antidote to Kiyomi Asakawa to make her mess up.

What's more, the one who faced it alone... was that Belmode.

"Doctor, Edogawa, let's go out and find her." Huiyuan, who couldn't wait any longer, stood up and said.

Dr. Ali and Conan nodded, and after reaching a consensus, they drove the Beetle out to find someone.

As a result, before driving out of the Mihua Town block, when passing by a garden in the middle of the street...

"Wait, what's that?" Conan hurriedly asked the doctor to stop, and almost took off his glasses to wipe them. Is that... haunted? !

When Haibara followed Conan's line of sight and turned his head to look, he was also a little startled at first glance, but after seeing what was going on, he suddenly didn't know what expression to put on, and gritted his teeth : "Qian, Chuan, Qing, Mei..."

On the horizontal bar in the garden in the middle of the street, Qingmei only hooked her feet on the bar, hanging upside down with her arms folded, the old god was on the ground with her eyes closed, as if she wanted to cultivate immortality.

And in the middle of the night, the surrounding area is dead silent, there is not even a street lamp, it is pitch black, and the big living person hanging upside down there looks really haunted from a distance, it is simply the best location for a horror movie.

"Hey, what are you doing? The negotiation with Belmode is over, why don't you go back?" Conan ran out of the car and went straight to Qingmei.

Qingmei opened her eyes quietly with a careless expression, the green eyeballs are really a bit creepy in the dark night:

"Ah, it's over a long time ago. I just thought that it's a rare opportunity to restore my body's original functions. It would be a waste not to feel it, so I plan to practice late."

Late practice... Late practice at twelve o'clock in the morning? !

"What the hell happened...?" Although this woman has always been abnormal, today is definitely another abnormality, Conan is still very sure of this.

Qingmei just smiled hoarsely, the voice of a fully grown man really sounds very different from the voice of a girl who has not yet faded her childishness:

"It's nothing, I just feel that the blood supply to the brain is a little insufficient today, and I want to hang upside down to replenish some blood to the brain."

Hui Yuan, who had been worrying for a long time, immediately rolled his eyes: "If you hang upside down all night, you will wait for the brain to congest."

"It's not romantic at all, Ai Jiang. I also heard a saying in a Taiwanese drama that if you want to cry, you should stand on your head, so that the tears will not flow... The effect of hanging upside down should also be the same. Same." While talking, he sniffed his nose in a serious way...then sneezed.

...Ah, ah, the night breeze is really cool.

"Taiwanese dramas? When did you start watching Taiwanese dramas?" After asking casually, Huiyuan found that the topic was being diverted by this guy again.

Kiyomi said as a matter of course: "Because the Japanese version of that character is played by Shun Oguri~ I have watched all the versions of this drama because of this...Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Haibara was startled by the sudden scream.

In an instant, the muscles of Qingmei's entire body contracted to the point of convulsions, and the veins on her forehead burst out:

"I feel like I'm going to... change back to my original form, no, my original form is the current mature stage, I feel like I'm going to degenerate back to the growth stage form..."

"Do you think you are a Digimon! Is that medicine an evolutionary device!" Conan was convinced by her, and he was still in the mood to run the train with his mouth full at this time, "Hey, be careful, get off the horizontal bar quickly! The medicine The moment the effect ends and the body shrinks again, the whole body will be quite painful!"

Qingmei's face was livid with nausea: "Ouch—"

"What's wrong?!" Hui thought it was some side effect of his medicine.

"Uh-hiccup-" Qingmei got off the horizontal bar and almost lost her footing, gasping for breath: "It's okay, it's just that the pasta I ate in the evening hasn't been digested..."

Huiyuan: "..."

……

weekend--

On the road, an off-road vehicle that is not conspicuous in appearance but is actually equipped with strict anti-attack equipment is speeding forward.

"Mr. Sawada, would you like to take a break first?" Tetsuya Kusakabe, who was driving the car, asked the person sitting in the passenger seat.

Gang Ji, whose fingers were still on the laptop on his lap, signaled that he was fine: "It's okay, I'll look at the information again, I'm afraid the negotiation with the De Luca family today will not be too easy. By the way, the hotel over there How is the arrangement?"

"Please don't worry, all the people transferred here are reliable personnel from the cloud guard department. They have already lurked in the hotel in advance, and there will be no problem." Cao Bi first reported as a subordinate, and then suggested as a friend: " However, after the negotiations are over and Mr. Sawada returns to your current state as a junior high school student, you can rest and relax near that hotel, that place is a newly built resort town, and I heard it’s pretty good.”

Tsuna just smiled shallowly, took out a retrograde bullet from his pocket, and stroked it in his palm:

"Although I really want to play without any worries, it's better to leave as soon as I'm done, so as not to have long nights and dreams." A trace of fatigue slipped through the brown eyes.

And, for some reason, his super intuition was telling him that today... I'm afraid it won't go well, and I always feel that something unexpected will happen.

……

Also driving in an ordinary seven-seater commercial vehicle on this road——

In the passenger seat, Kiyomi was wearing a blindfold of the same style as Sougo Okita's, and was leisurely dozing on the slightly lowered back of the seat.

In the back seat, five elementary school students were chattering and chattering.

Dr. Ali won a lottery for a newly developed resort town, and he could stay in a luxury hotel in that resort for free, so he took his children there on weekends.For this reason, I specially rented such a commercial vehicle that can seat seven people.

Taking advantage of the traffic jam in front and stopping for a while, Dr. A Li turned around and made a "shh-" gesture to the children in the back seat: "Turn down your voice a little, Qingmei seems to be still sleeping .”

In the past, Qingmei did not participate in the activities of the Detective Boys, the reason was...she didn't want to be a babysitter for a bunch of brats.

But since I met Belmode that day, I have been a little weird for the past two days, and my mental state is not very good... The appetite has actually decreased to the same level as Dr. A Li.

As for what happened that day, Conan and Haibara didn't bother to ask anymore, after all, they knew something about her, as long as she didn't want to talk, then no one would try to pry her open.

Since you can't ask, then pull her out and relax.

Yuan Tai curiously grabbed the back of the seat and leaned forward to look at Qingmei who was sleeping like a corpse, "Sister Qingmei, is she really asleep?"

Huiyuan turned his head, smiled slyly, and looked at something while holding his mobile phone: "Ah, a piece of news in the entertainment industry just came out, Liu Shentong is going to compete with Shun Oguri for the leading actor in a new drama .”

Kiyomei, who was lying there wearing a pair of creepy blindfolds, said quite naturally:

"Brother Conan, please use your power to control the police all over Japan to help me find out the address of the German orthopedic patient. I will kill him after I choose the weapon. Don't worry, as long as you go on strike and don't go to the scene of the crime to reason Who is the murderer, I believe that the police will not find me here."

"Hey, hey, don't say such terrible things..." Conan was speechless, and there are a group of real children here, so be careful when you speak.

At this time, Ayumi also came over and suggested enthusiastically: "Hey, hey, sister Qingmei, you can play a game of drawing cards with us, the more people there are, the more fun it is!"

Qingmei was still lazily lying on the back of the chair, didn't even bother to take off the blindfold, and stretched out her hand without sincerity, motioning to hand her the card.

After reaching the cards in his hand, he randomly drew one out, and then shook the heads of the five little ghosts behind him.

Conan felt that this guy was too perfunctory, "Don't show the cards you drew directly to others."

It was Mitsuhiko who exclaimed in surprise: "Eh—?! Sister Qingmei, you drew a ghost card in the first play?!"

When Mitsuhiko shouted, Ayumi and Genta couldn't help exclaiming together.

To draw a joke card all at once, this luck... is too bad, right? !

Having a headache from being quarreled, Qingmei said in a deadpan voice, "I'll feed anyone who says a word more a coffee jelly."

The nightmare spewed out in an instant, and the young detective team who had been poisoned by coffee jelly some time ago shut up collectively, and Ayumi was almost scared to cry.

Raising her left hand and slightly lifting the blindfold, Qingmei squinted her left eye to look at the poker card held between the index finger and middle finger of her right hand... Oh, it really is a ghost card, and it's still black.

With a light flick, the cards flipped over at the fingertips.

Joker cards are divided into two colors: red and black.Red symbolizes day, while black is a symbol of night.

……

The tallest and most iconic building in the resort town, the luxury hotel in the center.

After parking the car, at the entrance of the hotel——

"Huh? Sawada?"

Qingmei, who was walking at the front of her team, looked at the figure not far ahead, who was about to enter the hotel gate.

If she hadn't been familiar with the back figure she saw every day in school, Qingmei would hardly have dared to recognize her.Today he was wearing a jacket with a stand-up collar and a baseball cap on his head. It was really hard to recognize at a glance.

Tsunayoshi, who was about to enter the hotel gate, paused for a moment, and Sokabe beside him also quietly asked: "Mr. Sawada, is that...?"

"It's okay, he's my current classmate." Having heard Qingmei's voice, Tsuna replied calmly.

However, it was a bit of a surprise that I ran into it here.To be honest, in today's situation, if possible, he really doesn't want to meet someone he knows.

Tsuna turned around and greeted Qingmei as usual: "Asakawa, are you here to play too?"

This natural junior high school student's surprise when he met his classmates on a weekend outing is so natural... Cao Bi is simply amazed at the face-changing person next to him. The former junior high school boy Tsunayoshi Sawada switched freely between them, without any hint of brewing.

Mr. Sawada...has grown up...but, if this goes on, will he really not be smart?

"Well, my guardian has won an invitation ticket to come here for a holiday, so I just come to have fun." Qingmei stepped forward, and then pointed to Dr. Li behind him: "Here, this is my guardian , The house you sent me back to last time is his home. As for the ones behind... Ah, I will help him take care of the children today."

Dr. A Li: "...", these words always feel very ambiguous.

"Hello, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, and I'm Asakawa's classmate." Tsunakichi politely greeted Qingmei's "friends and relatives group".

At this moment, Kiyomi looked at Tetsuya Kusakabe, blinked and asked, "Sawada, this is... your father?"

Tsunakichi, who was about to introduce Kusakabe, choked hard at what he was about to say... No, no matter how good he looks, Kusakabe-senpai is really only 25 years old, there is no one who is 14 years old son.

Cao Bi still maintains his usual unsmiling expression, but in his heart... Ah, only he knows that sadness.But it's not the first time someone has questioned age, just get used to it.

"This one is... my father's friend. He has always taken care of me. He can be regarded as my guardian in Japan." Tsuna introduced after thinking for a while.

Cao Bi, who was directly defined by his own boss as an uncle: "..."

Kiyomi glanced at Kusakabi again with the expression of an innocent and innocent little girl, and Kusakabi, who was not good at dealing with little girls, was instantly numb by the look in Pika's eyes.

And at this time, Kusakabe suddenly remembered... Isn't this the girl who was watched by Mr. Sawada in the mall two days ago and said ""?

...Uh, why doesn't he feel cute?

After averting her gaze towards Sokabe, Kiyomi hooked her finger at Tsunakichi with a look of "Brothers are good".

Gang Ji was a little confused, but still approached him, and then she pulled him aside, and heard her whispering in his ear:

"Hey, Sawada, let me just say, this uncle doesn't look like an oil digger, but rather..."

"Like what?"

"Looks like someone from the underworld."

Gangji: "..."

...to a certain extent, it is true.

After whispering, Kiyomi also took a few steps back, and jokingly said: "However, Sawada is indeed the young master of a rich family who hides his secrets. He came here for vacation and stayed in such a luxurious hotel."

"No, no, it's just that uncle brought me to play once, hehe..." Gangji tried his best to put on a natural look.

But my heart is sensitive and more concerned... I always feel that this girl is, there is something in her words?Or was he being overwhelmed and she was just making fun of him?

Qingmei didn't say anything more, she just waved at the other party: "Then, let's go to register first, see you later."

After Qingmei and her party left, Tsunayoshi's expression became a bit more dignified.

"Mr. Sawada, what's wrong with you?" Kusakabe asked in a low voice.

"The appointment of the De Luca family is tonight, right...don't waste too much time, let's make it quick." After speaking, Gang Ji also walked into the hotel.

He can't implicate her by making noise about his own affairs, this is the top priority in his mind at this moment.
