After this case, Hikari Yuki didn't remember much about the following event and went to do her own work.
The next day, she went to the convenience store to buy some snacks when she saw three people leaning against the glass in front of the convenience store.
Hikari Yuki: ?
How come she kept on bumping with these people when she least wanted to.
Also… she was also a member of the organization and she met with Jodie?
Tsk, tsk.
"Sister Yuki!" Suzuki Sonoko brightened when she saw Hikari Yuki appearing. If she was not wrong, Hikari Yuki was very observant and might be able to help them solve the case.
"Hello, Ran, Sonoko, and this beautiful lady," Hikari Yuki greeted them gently, pretending she didn't know that Jodie was actually an FBI agent. Her expression was flawless and there was not even any trace of other unnecessary emotions from her expression.
"Sister Yuki, this is Jodie Sensei, she used to be the English teacher in Teitan High School," Mouri Ran introduced Jodie to Hikari Yuki. "Jodie Sensei, this is Hikari Yuki, my neighbor sister."
"Hello Ms. Jodie," Hikari Yuki greeted with the same gentle tone.
Jodie nodded and looked at Hikari Yuki curiously. In the past few weeks after she became Mouri Ran's teacher, she had never met with Hikari Yuki at all. But seeing the girl chatting enthusiastically with Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, she could only press down her curiosity.
"So, you're trying to solve a case?" Hikari Yuki blinked her eyes and then looked at Mouri Ran with a right amount of doubt.
"Well, Jodie Sensei said that we should try to solve the case on our own because those whom you can rely on can disappear any time," Mouri Ran's voice became smaller at the end.
Hikari Yuki blinked her eyes.
Well, Jodie's intuition was right or if it was referring to her own past, then it was not wrong either. After all, Akai Shuichi was barely present…
*cough*
As she had thought, she should have shaved his hair a bit more.
Let's do it in this confrontation when she's helping Vermouth.
"That's true in a sense." Hikari Yuki smiled helplessly. "But deduction has never been your strong point, Ran. If you really need it, there's nothing wrong with asking for help. Humans are not built to live alone after all."
Mouri Ran looked at Hikari Yuki and felt moved. "Sister Yuki…"
"In that case, can you try to help us solve the case, Sister Yuki? I remember Shinichi said that your deduction is quite good!" Suzuki Sonoko stepped forward and hugged Hikari Yuki's hand tightly as if she wanted to force Hikari Yuki to agree.
Hikari Yuki: "..." wait!
Damn that brat.
