Vermouth was not surprised that Kōyū was alright.

If she were so easily caught off guard, she wouldn't deserve the title of "silver bullet."

Not to mention Kōyū's self-proclaimed status as a "witch hunter".

Moreover, she did not intend to attack Mitsuyu and Conan.

I just wanted to find an opportunity to leave.

In fact, her sneak attack was exactly what Kōyū wanted.

As a completely positive character, Conan's idea was for Vermouth to take them directly to the BOSS.

As for Kōyū, his idea was to have Vermouth infiltrate the organization first.

Once they have assembled and are ready to act, Vermouth will act as their inside man.

Conan, unaware of his and Ran's importance in Vermouth's heart, wouldn't think that way.

He has many very normal thoughts:

What if Vermouth just wants to run away?

"What if Vermouth pretends to cooperate first, luring them in before intending to wipe them all out?"

"It would be better to have the police arrest her first, and then find out her address through interrogation."

"Or we can have her take us there right away."

“...”

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence:

"We can't just blindly trust Vermouth."

But Kuang-Yu wasn't worried.

There is a saying: "Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust."

When he decides to ask someone for help, he will trust that person.

In fact, he would only ask for the other person's help after he had confirmed that the person was trustworthy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up at all.

Can Vermouth be trusted?

The answer is yes.

The fundamental reason is the existence of Ran and Conan.

If it were just Guangyou alone.

He really wouldn't consider asking Vermouth for help.

But if Ran and Conan were involved, things would be completely different.

If we represent the possibility of Vermouth betraying us with data.

So, without Ran and Conan, the probability of her betraying them is 80% to 90%.

If Ran and Conan were involved, the probability of her betraying them would be almost zero.

Because both he and Vermouth were well aware of it.

Vermouth would never have agreed to this from the beginning.

But if you agree, there's no turning back; you can only go straight down this path.

The reason is that if she betrays them, it will put Conan and Ran in danger.

If she betrays him, then Conan's identity as Shinichi Kudo will be exposed.

After taking APTX4869, a poison that the organization believed would be fatal, he miraculously survived and was even restored to his elementary school-age body.

If the organization finds out, they'll definitely arrest him and take him back for research.

This will allow us to improve current medications.

Drugs that can reverse aging would be extremely attractive to older people in the business and political worlds.

Meanwhile, the organization can also kidnap Ran to threaten Conan.

Make him cooperate with the organization in conducting research.

This is not impossible.

Therefore, unless Vermouth doesn't care about Ran and Conan's safety at all.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned against them.

But judging from the current situation, Vermouth definitely cares about the two of them.

If that weren't the case, Guangyou would have eaten the screen on the spot!

Since Vermouth has no reason to betray him, why doesn't Kōyū believe her?

With Vermouth's help, they can make a more careful plan.

The risks and difficulty of destroying an organization can be described as a precipitous drop.

However, Conan was unaware of these things.

That said, Conan is really pitiful.

He was injected with his own anesthetic and fell into a deep sleep for a long time.

It was because of his appearance that Vermouth was able to seize the opportunity.

But it is true that he is in a coma.

He had just woken up, said a few lines, and learned some good news when he fell into a deep sleep again due to the hypnotic gas.

It's likely that in the last second before Conan fell unconscious, he was thinking:

"It's over."

“Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let me leave so easily,” Vermouth explained, panting.

She leaned against the tree, the image of that rainy night replaying in her mind.

Ran and Shinichi rescued her together that day.

She found it strange that her identity at the time was "the silver-haired serial killer".

Why save her?

But the answer she received was surprisingly simple.

It was this answer that made her realize that there were angels around her.

She just didn't encounter it or notice it.

Shinichi then carried Ran away.

Before he left, he told her that he was not in a position to arrest her.

We can only pretend we never saw it.

But he said he would never let him go if they met again.

Although Conan didn't know she was the silver-haired serial killer, the thought still made him think:

"This time, I ran away by myself."

“You’re right, he definitely won’t let you leave easily.” Guangyou nodded in agreement.

Then he asked:

"The matter here is resolved."

What about over there?

He was naturally referring to how Vermouth would explain things to the organization.

Vermouth's response was simple and direct.

She walked back to the car, went to the back seat first, and broke the device on Conan's body.

He then took off his coat and covered Conan with it.

The hypnotic gas has mostly dissipated by now.

The tiny amount remaining in the air wasn't enough to make someone fall asleep.

It can only make people react a little slower.

After she finished doing all that, she didn't hesitate to take the pistol and shoot herself in the leg.
