3527 [Sherry and the FBI] Asking for Monthly Votes o(〃'▽'〃)o
After they talked things over, only deeper confusion and bewilderment remained in Haibara Ai's mind.
But fortunately, another matter seemed to have been answered clearly: choosing to stay would not trouble Jiang Xia. On the contrary... Jiang Xia seemed quite happy about it?
Still dazed, Haibara Ai followed Jiang Xia all the way back to Beika Town.

Jodie bit into an apple and looked out at the sky, which was barely still clear. At last, she felt somewhat alive again.
As she silently cursed that hateful Vermouth, her phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming call.
She picked it up and saw that it was from Haibara Ai, whom she had just contacted.
"Looks like she has an answer." James rose from his stool beside her. "Let's hope the plan goes smoothly this time, and nothing like Okiya Subaru happens again."
Jodie paused. "You actually brought him up on your own. I thought you'd find this too embarrassing to ever talk about."
"..." James endured it for a while, but in the end, a vein twitched on his forehead as he said, "When you talk to that witness in a moment, watch what you say. Don't say anything you shouldn't."
Jodie wore an expression that said, "Just as I thought," then confidently answered the phone while gesturing for him not to worry.
"How did it go?" Knowing the girl on the other end was introverted, Jodie spoke first.
