"But it was so hard to catch him..."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Zhu Fu Jingguang's eyes, but the hull that had begun to collapse and the screams that could be heard everywhere left him with no choice but to give up.

"Save the people first."

Hoshino Aoi secretly glanced at him and saw that although Zhu Fushigami's face was very gloomy, he had no intention of running over there. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked him to go with her to evacuate the crowd.

There were many lifeboats on the cruise ship, and the captain responded promptly. After contacting the Maritime Self-Defense Force, he turned on the radio immediately to calm everyone's emotions. So although everyone's faces were still a little panicked, their emotions were still within a controllable range.

"Please don't panic, ladies, the elderly, and children. Other passengers will follow. The crew will stay behind. Please line up in an orderly manner and don't panic..."

When Hoshino Aoi and Morofushi Kagemitsu ran to the deck one after another, they heard the captain's slightly hoarse voice coming from the big loudspeaker on the deck, and everyone naturally split into two groups following his command.

"There are only two teams, Xiaokui, you go help the team with the ladies, the elderly, and the children. You can leave early after the end, and I'll go help the other team."

Zhu Fujingguang picked up the lifebuoy and prepared to help the crew distribute it to the passengers.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Hoshino Aoi glanced at the wound on his head with some worry.

"Don't worry, it's no longer a problem."

Zhu Fu Jingguang curved his eyebrows and said while enduring the dizziness.

Seeing this, Hoshino Aoi didn't say anything else, but just nodded at him, signaling him to be careful.

Zhu Fu Jingguang naturally agreed without hesitation.

The two separated like this.

With the protection of the crowd, Zhu Fu Jingguang's existence was not discovered by Vermouth.

However, while distributing lifebuoys, Aoi Hoshino felt a cold gaze, and was being carefully looked at herself.

"It seems that Vermouth is suspicious of me."

She had a smile on her face, as if she didn't notice the other person's gaze at all, but she said coldly in her heart.

"...It's because you are too OOC, host."

He actually knocked out a member of the Black Organization and tied a bomb to his body.

"If you hadn't said that the man had been seen by Morobushi Kagemitsu, and if you had let him go, the police might have found him based on the portrait on the wanted poster. And he would have known about your existence, which would have very likely affected your undercover mission and adversely affected the Black Organization. If you had just made up for this, you wouldn't have been suspected by Vermouth, but would have been directly eliminated."

The system's cold voice appeared in Hoshino Aoi's mind, but all she got in return was a faint smile.

"But I have a legitimate reason."

And it actually works.

Where no one could see, a hint of excitement flashed in Hoshino Aoi's eyes.

She wasn't the type to rush into things blindly, so before doing something like this, she had pondered the system's rules countless times in her mind, especially the phrase "as long as what you do is in line with the Black Party's personality."

First of all, what kind of person fits the character profile of the black side?

The first thing that Aoi Hoshino thought of was naturally Gin, who was known as the model worker of the brewery.

But hasn’t Gin killed enough black players?

Pisco, Ireland, Curacao...

There were only three people she could think of at once.

The red team members who wanted to kill failed repeatedly.

Either you let the other party fake their death and get away, or you let the other party fake their death and get away.

But apart from jokingly saying that Gin is the biggest undercover agent, few people doubt Gin's identity as the Black Party.

Otherwise, he would not be called a model worker of the winery.

And the other person is naturally Vermouth.

Her leniency towards the red team, especially Kudo Shinichi, was even more serious.

Otherwise she wouldn't be called 'Conan's godmother'.

But no one would question her identity, at most they would just say it was "watered wine".

And the reason is obvious—

There is a valid reason for everything they do.

Especially Vermouth.

Because she was once saved by Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran and regards them both as treasures, she can do some things that seem to be contrary to the black character.

And gin is naturally the same.

For example, when Pisco was killed, it was because the other party was accidentally discovered in the process of killing, so the boss of the Black Organization ordered Gin to silence him in order to prevent him from being caught by the police and thus affecting the Black Organization.

Although this behavior indirectly covered up the fact that Miyano Shiho had turned into a child, logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with his behavior.

This is consistent with his black character.

The original intention of killing Ireland and Curacao was also to organize them well.

So based on the analysis of these two people, Hoshino Aoi can basically draw a conclusion.

As long as her 'original intention' was for the good of the Black Organization, then even if the person she killed was a member of the Black Organization, or someone who helped the Red Team, it would be in line with the setting.

And her current identity just happens to be an undercover agent.

So in order to gain more trust, she killed one or two of her "own people" and paved the way for herself. Even if the system wanted to wipe her out, there would be no way, right?

The result of the test was as she expected.

After she gave her reason, the system's erasure warning stopped, apparently agreeing with her reason.

This also made Hoshino Aoi feel relieved.

As for Vermouth's suspicion...

After getting on the lifeboat behind everyone, Aoi Hoshino did not stand there waiting for Keimitsu Morofushi after reaching the shore. Instead, she walked to a coffee shop nearby and ordered a latte.

"You seem quite relaxed."

A slightly deep voice sounded behind her, and the next second, a graceful figure appeared before her.

Hoshino Aoi didn't raise her eyes, but just held the coffee cup in her hand and stirred it slowly twice.

"How could that be? I'm just trying to find joy in misery."

She smiled softly:

"After all, there was an explosion. I'm afraid I'll be scolded when I get back this time."

Because they failed to protect the safety of the people?

Hoshino Aoi thought somewhat nonchalantly.

The person on the other side was silent for a moment. After a while, Hoshino Aoi heard her voice slowly coming.

"I will report this matter truthfully." Including the conversation between you and me, and your suspicion.

She didn't say the rest, and Hoshino Aoi didn't ask, but just smiled faintly and said:

“It should be.”
