Kudo Shinichi sent Mouri Ran to the downstairs of the office. He watched her jumping up the stairs and turned to leave, but was stopped by Ran.

"Shinichi, don't forget, you promised me." Ran Mouri stood on the stairs and turned to look at Kudo Shinichi.

"I'll find a way." Kudo Shinichi smiled bitterly, "Hurry up and go up."

Mao Lilan walked upstairs happily, and the girl's clear voice echoed in the stairwell, "See you tomorrow~"

"it is good."

Kudo Shinichi sighed imperceptibly, took out his cell phone, looked up tickets for tomorrow's performance online, and walked towards Ni-chome with heavy steps.

At this time, the sun was setting, dyeing the earth crimson.

Miyano Akemi leaned against the wall, kneeling on the cold floor of the living room, looking up at the blood-red sunset outside the window. A tear rolled out of her eye, streaked across her face like a meteor, and fell to the ground, dyed blood-red by the sunset.

The black Porsche sped along the mountain road, its red taillights blending into the sunset.

Gin held the steering wheel with his hands, a cigarette between his lips, "How is Gil now?"

"Brother, White said that she is basically fine." Vodka looked at Gin, "Should we notify her to come to the base tonight?"

Gin looked forward and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Well, after all, she is someone that gentleman has high hopes for, and she is also a member who got a code name so quickly. I am really looking forward to her performance."

Vodka took out his computer from the passenger seat and started editing emails.

The setting sun slowly sank, and the color of the sky gradually changed from bright orange-red to deep blue-purple. The birds flying in the sky landed on the nearest branches one after another, chirping non-stop among the branches.

Mingyue came out of the Mika General Hospital with Yuno Xingyao, holding a popsicle in their mouths, and sat on a bench in the park, watching the sun gradually setting.

"At this point in time, the souls of those who committed suicide should be wandering around the campus." Yuno Xingyao looked towards the horizon. The sun gradually set, leaving behind a quiet afterglow, as if it was nature's farewell song.

Mingyue threw the popsicle stick into the trash can and smiled, "That would be great if that's the case."

Yuno Xingyao lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly. It would indeed be a great thing if the dead could still remain in this world.

He exhaled lightly, looked at Mingyue with a smile, "It's all thanks to you that we were able to catch the criminal today. My brother wants to express his gratitude in person. I wonder when you are free."

Yuno Xingyao clenched his hands nervously, and his Adam's apple slid up and down involuntarily.

The smile on Mingyue's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She thought to herself: He is such a troublesome guy. How could he be targeted by this second-generation police officer? But she said, "If it weren't for you, my little trick wouldn't have worked, so you don't need to thank me for anything."

"No, no, no, I still have to thank you!" Yuno Xingyao was a little anxious. It's over! I can't complete the task assigned by my second brother! Will I be scolded again when I go back today? What should I do? !

Mingyue took one look at Yuno Xingyao's expression and guessed roughly. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "If I'm going to say thank you, should I thank you too? If you and Kudo-kun hadn't gone to the office to investigate, the truth about my leave would have been buried. If you hadn't protected me in secret..."

"No!" Yuno Xingyao interrupted Mingyue, "You can handle those things with or without me. Instead, I have put you in deep trouble. I..."

Yuno Xingyao thought about what happened on the rooftop, slowly lowered his head, and clenched his fists, "Actually, I'm not a good squad leader. Sometimes, I should stand up and solve problems, but I didn't do it..."

"You've actually done a great job." Mingyue looked at the setting sun in the sky and changed the subject, "Today's sunset is particularly beautiful."

Yuno Xingyao looked up at the bright moon. The setting sun shone on his face, staining it with a light crimson color. Feeling the warmth on his face, he quickly looked away.

Mingyue turned to look at Yuno Xingyao, somewhat puzzled by his reaction. She tilted her head and thought about it, unable to figure out what was going on in this boy's mind. She felt that his thoughts were more difficult to guess than those of the undercover agents, and she couldn't help but feel a headache.

It really is a troublesome guy. I can't get rid of him in a short time, and I can't kill him or close the laboratory. It's really a headache. Mingyue is in a dilemma.

The sun set below the horizon, the entire sky was painted a tranquil and peaceful deep blue, and a dazzling star appeared on the horizon.

"That's Venus." Yuno Xingyao looked towards the sky.

Mingyue nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, Changgeng Star, very bright and beautiful."

Yuno Xingyao's eyes looked somewhat gloomy, and he muttered to himself: "It is both a metaphor for death and a symbol of resurrection."

Mingyue turned to look at Yuno Xingyao, "Oh, you know this too."

Yuno Xingyao nodded, "The dead are resurrected with the skeletons stolen from hell, and regenerated with the flesh and blood bestowed by the gods, and return to the human world to reunite with their loved ones." He looked up at the brightest star in the sky, his eyes were very sad.

I have made wishes to that star many times, if only the gods could hear my wishes...

Yuno Xingyao stared at the brightest star, his expression full of sadness and pain, and he put his hands together at his lips, as if making a wish.

After hearing this, Mingyue's pupils shrank slightly, and she observed Yuno Xingyao beside her calmly.

Did he find anything? Probably not. He mentioned the classmate who committed suicide before. Could it be that someone died on campus recently, so he showed such an expression? Mingyue rolled his eyes and his eyes darkened. He was not sure if his guess was correct.

"Didn't we go see Tian Yuan?" Mingyue looked at Yuno Xingyao with a smile, "She is doing well now. As long as she continues to receive treatment for a while, she should be able to recover."

Mingyue said this, but in her heart she was thinking about asking White to use some special medicine. Under the condition of ensuring that the secret is not discovered, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, for fear that the night will be too long and dreams will be discovered by others. After all, now is not the best time, and we cannot act rashly.

Yuno Xingyao lowered his eyes and recalled the scene when he and Mingyue went to the hospital to visit Tianyuan. He accidentally heard Tianyuan's parents arguing outside the ward because of some trivial matters, and his nose suddenly felt sour.

If my mother were still alive, it would be great if she could have a big quarrel with my father. And if I could be scolded or beaten by my eldest brother again, it would also be a happy thing.

Yuno Xingyao's fingers curled up unconsciously. Thinking of the girl next to him who had no parents by her side, he suddenly felt pity and asked slowly, "Mona-san, do you sometimes think of your parents?"

As soon as the words came out, Yuno Xingyao felt that he shouldn't say that, and quickly looked at the gray-haired girl next to him, and said with some concern: "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't mention this matter."

Mingyue looked at the boy next to her and sighed slightly, "My parents passed away a long time ago," then she smiled as if to comfort Yuno Xingyao and continued, "I don't actually have any impression of them. It's funny to say that I don't even know what my mother looks like."

"I'm sorry for reminding you of the sad past." Yuno Xingyao turned his eyes away and didn't look at Mingyue.

Mingyue looked at the morning star in the sky and said, "It doesn't matter. Let the past go. I prefer to look forward. After all, the future is more important."

"Really?" Yuno Xingyao glanced at Mingyue. There was no sadness or pain on her face. The corners of Mingyue's mouth were slightly raised, and a faint smile hung on her face, as if she was full of hope.

In the twilight, Mingyue and Yuno Xingyao waved goodbye and headed in opposite directions.

The blue sky gradually darkened, and the inky night enveloped the area.

In the dim light, Kudo Shinichi pushed open the door of his house.

Yukiko poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Shinichi, how was your day?"

Kudo Yusaku put the newspaper on the table and looked at Shinichi, who was frowning, "Have you encountered any difficulties again?"

"Ah~" Kudo Shinichi sighed, walked into the kitchen and stood beside Yukiko, "Mom, can I get an advance on next month's pocket money?"

Yukiko held the spatula in her hand and looked at Kudo Shinichi with a puzzled look, "Give me a reason."

Kudo Shinichi scratched his hair and looked away, "Xiaolan wants me to accompany her to watch tomorrow's performance, but the tickets are a bit expensive."

Yukiko and Kudo Yusaku, who was sitting next to the dining table, exchanged glances and said, "Okay, are you and Xiaolan going together?"

Kudo Shinichi nodded, "By the way, Mingyue hasn't come back yet?" He remembered that when he passed by Mona's house, it was dark inside and it didn't look like anyone was home.

"Dr. Agasa said that Yue Yue sometimes went to her brother's house for dinner. She might have gone there today." Kudo Yusaku picked up the newspaper again and checked. "I heard that you had another case today."

Speaking of the case, Kudo Shinichi immediately became full of energy. He came to Yusaku with an excited look on his face and vividly described what happened today.

The night is dark, the stars are twinkling, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Mingyue walked into the organization's bar, and after a quick look, she saw Gin sitting in the corner of the bar and walked over quickly.

The bartenders stared at the gray-haired girl as she walked towards the bar where Gin was, but they didn't have the courage to snatch the wine glass from Gin's hand, and no one dared to get close to Gin at this time.

Gin had already noticed that the atmosphere around him was not right. He had noticed it when Mingyue just entered the bar. He narrowed his dark green eyes, poured the wine on the ground, and said to the nearby bartender: "Two cups of cocoa."

Before Mingyue arrived, two cups of cocoa were placed on the bar next to Gin.

Mingyue Banyue looked at the bartender who was moving swiftly and sat down on the high stool next to the bar.

"You shouldn't come here." Gin had a gloomy face, as if he was unhappy, but his dark green wolf eyes were always staring at the bright moon.

While Gin's attention was all on Mingyue, Vodka took his glass of wine and went to other tables.

Pastis, who was sitting not far away, curled her lips slightly and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

Mingyue picked up the cocoa and took a sip. It was mellow but not strong, bitter but not burnt, sweet but not greasy. It was the taste she liked. She tilted her head to look at Gin and asked in confusion, "Why can't I come here?"

"Whatever you want." Gin leaned back in his chair, stared at Mingyue, and spoke slowly, "You have to give me an explanation for what happened yesterday."

Mingyue put down the cup and thought for a moment, "Are you talking about the cancellation of the mission?"

Gin narrowed his dark green eyes and said nothing, waiting for Mingyue to continue.

"Because there is a conflict in the mission time, the priority of the mission will be used to make the decision." Mingyue took a sip of cocoa and continued, "Generally speaking, experiments have a higher priority than others, but there are exceptions."

"There are not many missions above the experimental level." Gin still stared at Mingyue, as if he wanted to figure out something, but he changed the subject, "A lot of things happened in Teidan Country."

Mingyue nodded. "Yes, I have encountered some troubles, but I should be able to solve them."

"Really?"

"Will the newcomers who just got the code name come here soon?" Mingyue looked around. The lights in the bar were dim and many members of the organization had already gathered here.

Gin stared at Mingyue for a while, then slowly said, "You are well-informed." After that, he took out a switchblade from the pocket of his black windbreaker, the blade flashing with a cold light.

Mingyue smiled without saying anything. She turned around and found Scotland walking towards her and blinked.

Scotland had a sullen face, his attention focused on the switchblade in Gin's hand.

"What's the matter?" Gin looked coldly at Scotland who was standing next to Mingyue. Although this code member passed his test, Scotland's expression was enough to arouse Gin's vigilance, which came from the killer instinct.

Scotland ignored Gin and looked at Mingyue instead. He bent down to look Mingyue in the eye with a gentle and kind look. "Mingyue, have you finished your homework? I just bought a new cake. Do you want to have some?"

"I have finished my homework a long time ago. I want to go to Gin's safe house today." Mingyue looked at Gin and smiled brightly.

Scotland's heart was filled with alarm bells. Was the cake no longer tempting? However, he said gently, "That cake tastes great. Are you really not going to try it? If you don't, Bourbon will eat it all."

Mingyue was about to say no to Scotland, but Gin said coldly, "I didn't agree to let you go to my place."

"Gin, you are my first guardian after all." Mingyue looked dissatisfied, "What's the point of always throwing me to others."

Scotland looked at Gin and said seriously, "If you don't want to take care of her, I'd be happy to do this." However, his eyes kept lingering on the switchblade in Gin's hand, and if he sensed something was wrong, he would decide to snatch it away.

Gin narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Scotland who was standing in front of him.

Vodka, who had been watching this side from a distance, hurried over and said, "Brother, I think Scotland would be a good choice if he wants to take care of Monae." Brother Gin already has a lot of tasks to do, and it's a good thing that someone can help share the burden so that he can have a good rest.

Lai, wearing a sewing cap, put his hands in his pockets and stood behind Mingyue. "Mingyue, your sister misses you. If it's hard for you to go to school, you can move to our place. It's not far from the school. I can drive you to and from school."

Mingyue looked at Akai Shuichi with a half-moon eye, and after a quick glance, she didn't see Bourbon, and Gil hadn't come yet. She sighed helplessly, stared at Gin and said seriously: "I want to go to your place, is that really not possible?"

Gin replied coldly: "No! Scotland, take Mingyue away from here. Mingyue, don't come here again in the future."

"Eh?! Why?" Mingyue looked puzzled, "I also want to see Kiel!"

At this moment, Lei and Gin looked at each other. The originally noisy bar was now so noisy that you could hear a pin drop.

Lei looked at Gin fearlessly with a cold face, "I think Mingyue's guardian could be changed, for example, to me."

"Ha!" Gin sneered, "That kind of thing is impossible to happen."

Pastis came over with a smile, looked at Lei Yi, and said with her red lips, "Lei Yi, how about changing your girlfriend? For example, change it to me?"

Scotland looked at the code-named members around him and decisively pulled Mingyue out of the bar.

At this time, Mingyue sat in the co-pilot seat with a depressed look on her face, letting Scotland help her fasten her seat belt. She reflected on the reasons for the failure of her plan to stay in Gin's safe house. After much thought, she could only attribute it to these undercover agents.

Killing them all would affect the overall situation. Not killing them would make her feel uncomfortable. Mingyue could only sulk alone, and the most depressing thing was that Gin rejected her.

Zhu Fu Jingguang glanced at the bar and started the car, hoping that Zero could bring the cake to the safe house as soon as possible.

At this time, a young woman with a pair of bright blue cat eyes and a baseball cap hurried into the bar.

Mingyue took a glance and then looked away.

On the dark street, Shirakawa Teruji, drunk, staggered towards home.

The disguised Iori Muga was following behind Shirakawa Teruji and saw him walk into the Shirakawa residence.

In the Poirot Café, Azusa Enomoto held a thick letter in his hand and looked out the window at the dark night sky with a frown. After thinking for a long time, he put the letter into his small bag, closed the shop door, and ended his work for the day.
