Chapter 524 Unexpected Letter

"Sigh, you newbies are so lucky, you get all the perks."

Qi Ming stood up and twisted his neck, and a figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

Come to think of it, he hasn't contacted Lao Wu in a long time. What's that old man doing all day?

Although he had chatted and laughed with Karasuma Renya before, he was actually not familiar with this little old man.

Besides, why would he bother contacting an old man when he has nothing better to do all day?

At least Vermouth is pleasing to the eye.

I wonder how far along Karasuma Renya's grand plan to conquer the world has progressed...

Tsk, what's so fun about conquering the world? Wouldn't it be much better to just laze around and be a city dragon king?

"Brother Qi Ming."

Shinichi Kudo leaned behind Qi Ming on the sofa and gently poked his shoulder, asking with a fawning expression.

"Um, could you also help me get a spot in the special operation to capture Lu Ban III?"

The text message that Ai Haibara received seemed to be arranged by Qi Ming.

Could it be that the organization has an undercover agent within the Metropolitan Police Department?

It seems this undercover agent is quite high-ranking, as he was able to join such an important operation as capturing Lupin III.

It's perfectly acceptable for Shinichi Kudo to get involved in small matters, or even minor ones, and the police officers handling the cases are happy to do nothing and reap the credit.

And Kaito Kid is a minor matter; he can get involved in it too.

However, Lupin III was different; he had no say in this matter whatsoever.

Upon hearing what Shinichi Kudo said, Qi Ming glanced at Shinichi Kudo, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart once again.

What do you mean by helping you get a spot? I don't even have a spot, and you still want me to help you?

"Get lost."

"okay!"

Meanwhile, the Junior Detectives, who hadn't received their invitations, sighed.

"Haibara-kun, could you let us know where Lupin III will be?

Genta spoke expectantly to Ai Haibara, and Mitsuhiko was also somewhat excited.

"Yes, we really want to meet this internationally renowned thief!"

"..."

Ai Haibara glanced at the two of them helplessly.

"Famous"...it should be "infamous," right? They're making these thugs sound like international superstars.

"Damn, that's too dangerous."

Ai Haibara shook her head and said without hesitation.

“Lupin III and his ilk are no match for Kaito Kid; they have real guns and ammunition.”

Upon hearing Ai Haibara's words, the three of them unconsciously lowered their heads.

However, after a while, Genta muttered a complaint in a low voice.

"But we've been through quite a few real gunfights before, haven't we?"

"Hmm, it always feels like the things Lupin III did weren't as big as the things we experienced."

Hearing the children discussing it, Ai Haibara rubbed her forehead.

These children always think in a way that is different from ordinary people.

"Although you've been through so many dangerous things before, luck won't always be on your side. What would your parents think if you got hurt?"

Ai Haibara said seriously.

Actually, if the situation weren't so special, it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring these kids along to join in the fun.

But who knows what kind of extraordinary people will come from over there this time? We don't want to ruin the children's materialistic and scientific worldview.

"Hug, sorry."

Seeing Ai Haibara's rather serious expression, the others didn't say much and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

However, although these children think this way now, who knows what they will think later.

Perhaps it was to ease the current atmosphere, or perhaps it just suddenly came to mind.

Ayumi looked up at Ai Haibara and said.

"Oh, right, Ai, I suddenly remembered something. It seems like someone delivered a letter to your shoe cabinet these past few days."

Ai Haibara was taken aback.

"My shoe cabinet?"

"Uh-huh."

Ayumi nodded.

"After you transferred schools, the shoe cabinet was emptied and closed. But just a few days ago, when we passed by, we found that the shoe cabinet was open and there was a letter inside."

"Is that so?"

Ai Haibara raised an eyebrow in surprise.

She didn't know she had transferred schools, and even sent a letter to her shoe locker.

Are they from other classes or grades?

However, to be honest, apart from interacting with Ayumi and the others, she was basically not familiar with anyone else at Teitan School.

But who would deliver the letter to me?

As Shinichi Kudo listened to their casual conversation, he stretched and muttered a complaint under his breath.

"This young lady was quite beautiful for a girl when she was young. There's no need for deduction at all; this letter should definitely be a love letter..."

Is that right?

Shinichi Kudo swallowed the rest of his words.

He shivered and suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

That was Qi Ming's hand on his shoulder.

Shinichi Kudo swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He knew he had said the wrong thing.

"Brother, what did you mean by what you just said? Could you translate it for me?"

Hearing Qi Ming's soft whisper, Shinichi Kudo felt like he couldn't explain himself.

Dude, even though I said the wrong thing, what's the point of asking me for an explanation?

If you're really jealous of someone else's child, why don't you go find the person who delivered the letter to him?

"Ahem, well, actually, thinking about it now, kids these days probably don't know much about that kind of thing."

"So no one will send love letters to Ms. Miyano."

Shinichi Kudo turned to Qi Ming with an embarrassed smile.

Although he believed that the wronged should be held accountable, the child was innocent, and only he, the detective, should take the blame.

However, as soon as he said those words, he felt his shoulders grow even heavier.

Qi Ming had a smile on his face, but that smile looked somewhat dangerous.

Shinichi Kudo was internally frustrated.

Did I say something wrong again?!

"What do you mean no one sends her love letters? Am I, your sister, so unattractive?"

Upon hearing Qi Ming's words, Shinichi Kudo's lips twitched violently.

This person is absolutely insane!

Unable to withstand the pressure on his shoulders, Shinichi Kudo quickly squatted down and dodged to the side, giving Qi Ming an awkward smile.

"Brother Qi Ming, I need to use the restroom. My stomach hurts a bit."

Stomach ache?

Qi Ming was taken aback, and unconsciously took half a step back, looking at Shinichi Kudo with a look of disgust.

"What, does your poop stay in your stomach? Or do you usually eat poop?"
