Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 96 Leaving the Supermarket

The shopkeeper tentatively inquired, "I wonder what brings you here, officer? If you need my help, please let me know. I will do my best to help you with anything I can."

Officer Chiba looked at him seriously.

"An attempted murder just occurred in your supermarket, and the suspect escaped in the chaos."

"What?!" The boss was dumbfounded. He was sitting in the house when this pot fell from the sky.

This pot is too big; he really can't handle it.

"Officer, this has nothing to do with me at all! I'm a law-abiding citizen!" the shopkeeper quickly explained to himself.

Officer Chiba interrupted him, saying that if he continued, the suspect would have to flee the country.

"Stop talking nonsense. I noticed there are cameras in the four corners of the fresh food section. Please take us to the monitoring room immediately."

The boss scratched his head awkwardly. That thing was just for show, used to scare people.

Cameras aren't cheap; just get a fake one to deter petty thieves.

"Is there some difficulty? If there's any trouble, I can apply for a search warrant," Officer Chiba kindly reminded him when he remained unmoved.

"No, no, no, officer," the shop owner said, raising his hand to stop him. He could already imagine the fire department and other departments coming to inspect his supermarket every day if he made that call.

He can't afford to mess with these people.

"Then hurry up and take us there, don't waste time." Officer Chiba snapped impatiently. He felt there was something seriously wrong with this boss and needed to have someone come and investigate him thoroughly.

Sonoko muttered softly at this moment, "Could that surveillance footage be fake?"

Although the voice was very soft, everyone present heard it. Chiba glanced at her in surprise, then asked the boss.

"Is the surveillance footage fake?"

After hesitating for a moment, the boss nodded.

Chiba was speechless. "Just say it directly. Why waste time here?"

He doesn't want to say a word to this boss anymore. Just wait for the inspection; there are too many problems.

Since there were no surveillance cameras, the group left.

At the entrance of the supermarket.

People come and go.

"Do you want to seek help from the police? We can send people to protect Miss Ayako secretly. What do you think?" The upright Officer Chiba asked, worried that this kind of thing might happen again.

Ayako hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Su Xingbai, then Sonoko also looked at Su Xingbai, and finally Officer Chiba also looked at him for no apparent reason.

He was enjoying his grilled sausage when he glanced up and noticed several people staring at him.

He hurriedly swallowed the grilled sausage in his mouth and pointed at himself in confusion.

I??

"Why are you all staring at me? If you want grilled sausages, I'll go back and buy four more."

Ayako blinked her small eyes, took his hand, and looked at him.

"Officer Chiba asked us if we needed someone to protect me secretly. I'm unsure what to do. What do you think?"

As Su Xingbai listened, he ate the remaining half of the grilled sausage in one bite and stammered.

“Buyongnamo mafanba, um.” Ayako punched him hard in annoyance, making Su Xingbai swallow it down in his haste.

"No need for that. I'm here, everything will be fine."

Officer Chiba nodded and left, ready to continue his vacation.

After he left, Sonoko jumped up excitedly.

"Aren't you busy lately? You haven't spent time with us in ages."

That silly girl.

Su Xingbai vigorously ruffled her hair, making it a mess.

Annoyed, Sonoko took out a mirror and looked at herself, only to find her hair was a mess. In a fit of anger, she kicked him.

The nimble Su Xingbo easily dodged it, even wiggling his hips in the process.

"You dare to hide?!"

"So what if I don't dodge? Go ahead and kick me."

The two then began chasing each other around Ayako, who helplessly rubbed her forehead and smiled bitterly.

Finally, Sonoko was too exhausted to chase after him, and she glared fiercely at Su Xingbai while panting heavily.

"Alright, let's hurry back. We've bought everything, let's go home and cook dinner."

"Okay, I'll go get the car." Su Xingbo replied quickly and went to the parking lot to get his car.

After a while.

Su Xingbo then drove up to the two women and headed towards the villa.

"What's going on? You couldn't even kill a frail young lady? What have you been doing all this time? You're a bunch of useless trash. What are you still doing here? Get the hell out of here, you piece of trash!" Mian Guanchen was angrily berating his two underlings kneeling on the ground.

"Big brother, I was about to succeed when someone suddenly attacked me from behind. Otherwise, the mission would have been completed," henchman A quickly explained.

"Get lost, you're more trouble than you're worth."

The two underlings tumbled and rolled away smoothly.

Mian Guanchen rubbed his temples, and after a moment, took a deep breath and dialed a number.

After the call connected, he immediately spoke in a humble tone.

"The mission failed. Should we proceed to the next step?"

The voice on the other end of the phone replied coldly, "Heh, you can't even complete the mission with a gun? You might as well go smash your head against a block of tofu and die."

"The people who were on the mission were careless; they forgot to bring their guns and went with only daggers."

The person on the other end of the phone was even more speechless.

Are we still living in the Qing Dynasty? Why would we use a dagger when we have a gun?

"Continue to carry out the operation, continue to intimidate her, let her know that you can take her life at any time, and remember to bring a gun, fire a few guns so she can hear the sound."

"I understand, I understand."

"Beep beep."

After the phone call ended, Mian Guanchen collapsed onto the bed, his back completely soaked with sweat.

His current position is due to his very close relationship with the person on the other end of the phone, which is why he is so humble.

This time, he found a more reliable henchman and sent him with a dozen men armed with guns to carry out the mission.

Inside the winery site.

After Vodka hung up the phone, he reported what had just happened to Gin.

Gin didn't say anything, he just took a sip of his drink.

They had been resting for a long time and hadn't moved around for a long time. Most of the members of the organization had gone abroad, and there were only a few members left in the country.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have approached the Mud Gathering group, asking them to bring guns to Ayako Suzuki so she could hear what was going on, and then proceed with the next step of their plan.

Who knew these idiots couldn't even finish this? They're completely useless; they can't even complete such a simple task.

"Tell the members to come back. The storm has died down. It's not good for them to stay abroad forever. There are a lot of tasks back home."
