“Of course I stayed because I was worried about you!” Yukiko Kudo replied.

She said she would fly back last time, but that's not actually the case.

After saying hello to Yusaku Kudo, she returned to the Kudo residence.

For some time now, she has been hiding in the house, observing secretly.

Speaking of this, she immediately became dramatic and began to complain:

"Shin-chan, I can't even turn on the lights for a while."

"I can only leave the house if I'm sure I won't run into you."

“...”

After confiding in Conan, Yukiko Kudo finally revealed her true thoughts:

"Shin-chan, are you going to treat me to cake later to make it up to me?"

Although she was worried about them, she also trusted them.

Staying here is also because I'm worried that if they need help, or if something unexpected happens, there will be no one to help them.

However, it seems that things are going well now.

Yukiko Kudo was unaware of the invitation.

Otherwise, she would never have made such a judgment.

Although Yukiko Kudo appeared to be very relaxed.

But Conan knew she was worried about him.

The cake and such were minor matters, and he naturally nodded in agreement.

"I'll have Guangyou make you a cake later."

"His cooking is much better than what you get outside."

"Really?" Yukiko Kudo turned to look at Mitsuyu.

With great confidence in his culinary skills, Kwangyu smiled and agreed:

"certainly."

"Cake is fine, any kind you want."

"But we'll talk about the cake later."

"Let's get down to business first."

The jokes are over, it's time to get down to business.

When the conversation turned to serious matters, Yukiko Kudo's smile vanished.

Conan then recounted the invitation and his exposed situation to Yukiko Kudo.

Upon hearing these words, Yukiko Kudo frowned slightly.

She had the same question:

"Why didn't those people just come to arrest you after they knew who you were? Why did they deliberately throw a Halloween party?"

Conan found the answer to this question during the day.

He wasn't sure if what he thought was right, but he felt there was a high probability.

"I think this 'Vermouth's' target is Ai Haibara."

"And the invitation was intended to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guangyou voiced his thoughts:

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain."

"She sent you an invitation, it's obvious she wants you to attend the banquet."

"And she could then take advantage of the fact that no one is guarding the place and kidnap Ai."

"But why didn't Vermouth take you with her?"

Kōyū was well aware of the reason, but he still brought the issue to the forefront.

He met Conan in the last few months.

You can't say that Vermouth didn't capture Shinichi Kudo because she was saved by Shinichi and Ran when she was in New York.

It would be difficult to explain even if he said it.

Anyway, it's not anything important.

It's not impossible to let Conan know later.

He asked the question because he knew very well that it was also a question for Yukiko Kudo.

So he asked about it casually.

"I don't know." Conan shook his head.

He felt he had guessed most of the other party's goal.

But he couldn't figure it out at all.

He also survived and shrank after consuming APTX4869.

Why does Vermouth act like she doesn't want to catch him?

That party could very well have been a trap.

But he felt that this was superfluous and unnecessary.

With his current strength, he has no chance of resisting.

They are powerless to resist if those people suddenly send someone to their door to arrest them.

But Belmod even told him that she knew his identity.

They even set up a party that might contain traps.

this...

Too much money to burn?

Are you bored and have nothing better to do?

He simply couldn't understand the act of adding a crown to a crown.

The logic is a bit confusing, but one thing is very clear.

Vermouth's target is definitely Ai Haibara.

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Kōyū and asked:

Have you won over your partner yet?

“Of course.” Guangyou nodded.

He said:

"She's probably asleep by now."

"I will make some preparations tomorrow during the day."

"You should also make some preparations here."

"Um."

After glancing at Yukiko Kudo, Conan nodded and said:

"I was going to ask you for help, but it seems like I don't need to now."

"Then I can go do my own thing too."

After saying that, Kōyū also glanced at Yūkiko Kudo.

The seemingly encrypted conversation between the two puzzled Yukiko Kudo.

After they finished speaking, she asked:

What are you two talking about?

"Do you already have a plan to deal with this?"

"Would it be convenient for you to tell me?"

"certainly."

After giving an affirmative answer, Kousuke gave Conan a wink.

He was gestured to speak.

The plan was actually quite simple: to turn the tables on Vermouth and let her succeed.

Conan originally wanted Kousuke to help him and Hattori Heiji disguise themselves.

He disguised himself as Vermouth's target:

—Ai Haibara.

Meanwhile, Hattori Heiji disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi.

Although Vermouth had a lot of information about them.
