Chapter 160: Xiao Ai, no matter how arrogant you are, Tanigawa will become someone else's shape

"Habara, I have something to talk to you about."

"I don't have anything to talk to you about." Xiao Ai flipped through the magazine and refused coldly.

Conan sat opposite Ai and took out the manuscript.

Xiao Ai glanced at him and said, "If you want to tell me about Tanigawa, you can get out now."

Conan sighed and put the manuscript back in his pocket.

"Habara, let's discuss Absolut."

"According to the information I got from Ireland, Absolut only started to appear after you escaped from the organization. Logically, you and him should have no intersection within the organization." Conan said.

"Do you believe the words of the loyal dog of the Irish organization, or do you believe the words of me, a traitor to the organization?" Xiao Ai raised her eyebrows.

Conan was speechless.

Ireland also said that you, Shirley, are like a prisoner in the organization. Do you know as much as Ireland?

"Although we can't believe everything Ireland says, we can't completely disbelieve it. Just like Chris is Vermouth and Tanigawa is Absolut, these are actually facts, right? In fact, I have had speculations about these before." Conan adjusted his glasses.

Every time the organization starts its activities, Tanigawa suddenly disappears.

If he was hiding, he would not be able to send me so much information about the organization.

"Tanigawa established those companies just to help the organization make money, right?" Conan said.

There must be a reason why a freedom-loving person like Tanigawa suddenly founded so many companies. The time when Tanigawa founded the companies also roughly coincided with the time when Absolut appeared.

Ai had a puzzled expression on her face. Tanigawa founded those businesses in order to spend the organization's money.

"Tanigawa joined the organization to help us conceal our identities and obtain intelligence about the organization."

No, he joined the organization because he liked Porsche 356A.

"Everything you said about Absolut is false. The only thing that is true is that Absolut likes you, right?" Conan said.

"I don't want to discuss with you such boring questions as who likes who." Xiao Ai said with a cold face.

"Then let's talk about business. Have you ever thought that if Absolut falls in love with someone else, will our identities be exposed to the organization?" Conan said.

"No." Xiao Ai said.

"You are too confident." Conan shook his head.

"Although Tanigawa decided to infiltrate the organization because of us, we must always guard against him being alienated by the organization. If he falls in love with Vermouth, he might turn bad."

Conan told Ai that Tanigawa could not resist the temptation and was convinced by Vermouth and turned to the dark side. They and Ran's family were all killed by the organization because of Tanigawa's report.

Ai didn't believe Conan's random guess at all, but her face was gloomy.

I don’t believe it, but I don’t want to hear it.

"Your relationship with Vermouth is so bad. If Tanigawa and Vermouth become closer, will you still be safe?"

"Tanigawa has been with Vermouth in the organization day and night, and you still have to go to school. Their relationship may have been closer than you thought."

Xiao Ai had a gloomy face.

Conan adjusted his position to avoid being hit and continued:

"Besides, you actually like Tanigawa, right?"

"What a joke! I would like a psychopath?" Xiao Ai laughed sarcastically.

Conan shook his head. He understood. This was the tsundere that Tanigawa had always been talking about.

"Although you can't see it, I can clearly feel it. You treat Tanigawa differently than you treat others. Everything is accumulated little by little, and the same is true for good feelings."

"You may be accustomed to these accumulated good feelings and not feel them at ordinary times, but one day, you will suddenly discover them."

Just like me and Xiaolan, I can't feel any feelings for her after spending so much time with her. It's only when I suddenly become small that I can face this feeling.

"Haibara, face up to your relationship with Tanigawa. If you continue to be so arrogant, Tanigawa will turn into someone else's shape."

Ai glared at Conan. What did it have to do with her what happened to Ai Tanigawa?
Xiao Ai frowned and noticed a glaring gaze. Vermouth was looking at her with a smile on her face.

Feeling upset, Xiao Ai went for a walk on the beach alone.

Conan looked at Ai's back and took off the bow around his neck.

"Conan, well done." Tanigawa's voice came from inside the bow.

"I have given so much for your family," Conan said.

"If only you could give a little more."

……

Ai walked aimlessly on the beach, feeling uncomfortable when she thought of Vermouth's face.

"Ding."

A transparent glass bottle was washed ashore and hit a small rock with a crisp sound. Xiao Ai picked it up casually and was stunned when she saw the note inside.

"A message in a bottle? You can find this here?"

Xiao Ai struggled to open the cork and took out the note inside. The handwriting on the note was very beautiful.

'The guy I like is very close to other women. I feel uncomfortable when I see them being so intimate.'

Xiao Ai looked confused.

If you like a shy woman, you should pursue her instead of writing this useless message in a bottle.

Xiao Ai stuffed the note into a glass bottle and threw the bottle into the sea.

"Ding."

Another glass bottle was washed up on the beach, and Xiao Ai picked it up out of boredom.

"The guy I like and that girl were mistaken for a couple. Even though they explained it, I'm still very sad."

After reading it, Xiao Ai stuffed the note back with an expressionless face and continued to throw it into the sea.

The original aimless wandering turned into a search for a bottle left on the beach.

'The guy I like is officially dating that woman, and I should let it go completely.'

'It turns out that he also liked me, but I missed him because I was shy.'

"I regret it so much, I wish I could do it again."

'I really wish I could take the initiative for once.'

Conan hid behind a rock and threw drifting bottles into the sea one by one.

"Tanigawa, the direction of your message in the bottle is too obvious. Huibara will definitely be able to see it, right?" Conan said to Tanigawa through the bow with a twitching mouth.

"It doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't catch you on the spot. Ai has picked up all versions of the message in the bottle, you can run away, but be careful." Tanigawa put down the telescope and said.

"understood."

Conan threw the remaining bottles into the sea and sneaked away with his backpack.

"Shirley."

Vermouth changed into sexy clothes, came in front of Ai and stretched out her hand.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ai asked calmly.

"To thank you for saving my life, I would like to treat you and Tanigawa to a meal. You will definitely come, right?" Vermouth asked with a smile.

"Oh, why shouldn't I go?"

"I thought you were angry."
