Having successfully bluffed her way through, Conan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded obediently. "That's right, I love helping Brother Jiang Xia the most!"
"Good boy." Doctor Sawaki patted his head, then took Yoshida Ayumi's hand and said to Conan, "Thank you, little knight, for bringing Ayumi over. It'll be dark soon, so hurry home for dinner. Once her tooth is pulled, I'll take Ayumi home."
Conan nodded. The lady dentist was actually alive. Unlike that lady hairstylist from not long ago, she had not ended up dead on the spot while preparing to work overtime... That surprised him a little.
But honestly, this sort of surprise was actually a good thing. The only pity was that he could not use today's flash of inspiration to find traces of that mysterious executive.
The Fake Elementary School Student sighed in disappointment, waved goodbye to Yoshida Ayumi, and prepared to head to the Commercial Street to find Jiang Xia and the others, to see whether poor Teacher Jodie had managed to recover her innocent reputation.
...But was Teacher Jodie really completely innocent?
Although the matter of secretly photographing students was most likely related to Vermouth, were those comics really just an ordinary coincidence?
Conan pushed up his glasses, suddenly feeling that even he could no longer tell.
"Forget it. With Jiang Xia following them, they should be able to uncover the truth." Conan sighed. "If that doesn't work, they can just go through the bookstore one by one and see if they run into the clerk who helped Teacher Jodie pick out those comics. A foreigner went into a store and asked someone to pick out such a huge stack of that kind of comic for her. Even a clerk who dealt with customers every day would definitely remember that."
