At 7:11 PM, the sky was already dark.

In a room on the second floor of Kudo Shinichi's house, Shuichi Akai, wearing a black leather jacket, was about to light a cigarette, but he was snatched away by someone walking behind him, with a hint of disgust in his tone:

"No smoking indoors, and the flames would easily be noticed by those guys. Having been in the organization before, you should be well aware of how sensitive they are, right?"

"Heh, I just wanted to put it in my mouth, I didn't mean to light it."

Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but stare at the matchbox that Akai Shuichi had just put in his pocket. His face was full of the words: Do you think I will believe this? Or do you think I am blind?

He leaned directly on the desk, looked at the time on his watch, and asked:

"What time do you think Vermouth will call?"

"It will be soon, at least before that boring Halloween party starts. We will definitely take action."

"I hope you won't make me wait too long. I have a lot of things I want to ask her." Fujiwara Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Thinking of the bouquet of violets in front of his mother's tombstone, he felt very uncomfortable. He must find out her purpose in this operation.

Why didn't she tell the organization that Kudo Shinichi was still alive, and why did she use this method to lure Miyano Shiho to show up on her own initiative?

Shuichi Akai looked at Sosuke Takagi with some curiosity. He didn't know what the connection between the other party and Vermouth was, but looking at his expression, he would not choose to tell him even if he asked.

He simply didn't say anything to avoid being rejected.

The room gradually became quiet. Amid the sound of a car engine, the two people's eyes fell on the car parked in front of Dr. Agasa's house. It was the car driven by Aida Tomoaki. It seemed that the bait that ran out had successfully attracted a big fish.

Fujiwara Yu took out a headset from his pocket and put it on his left ear. He raised the corner of his mouth and said in a light tone:

"Hello? Kudo, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you. I just received a call from Vermouth."

"Okay, remember to be careful and take off the disguise I made for you when necessary, understand?" Fujiwara Yu was not sure whether Vermouth would hurt Kudo Shinichi. Perhaps this way, he could determine the other party's purpose.

Even though it is a bit risky, if they don't take the initiative, they will never be able to get close to this huge black organization in their lifetime.

"Yeah, I understand."

When Edogawa Conan answered, he was still a little confused. Even if he took off his disguise, it was not certain that the people in the organization would choose to let him go. He had some vague guesses in his mind, could it be that Brother Yingsi knew more about Vermouth than he did?

Vermouth, disguised as Tomoaki Aida, was unaware that she was being plotted against. She arrived at Dr. Agasa's house, knocked on the door using her superb acting skills and voice-changing skills, and asked:

"Haibara-san? I'm Dr. Arata. Could you please open the door?"

The door was opened, and Edogawa Conan, disguised as Huibara Ai, coughed lightly a few times with a mask on. He pretended to be weak, and he inherited his mother Kudo Yukiko's acting skills, so he could easily grasp Huibara's tone:

"Ahem, hello Dr. Shinde, let's go."

"Your cold hasn't gotten better at all. Go get some sleep in the car."

"Um."

The two people, each with their own ulterior motives, got into the car and drove in a direction completely opposite to the direction of the new hospital.

Edogawa Conan, who got on the bus, also pretended to be weak and closed his eyes to rest.

Vermouth, who was in charge of the family background, narrowed her eyes. Without any doubts, she increased the speed of the car and drove towards the container area of ​​the dock. Taking action in such a place would inevitably reveal a lot of flaws, but if it was in a sparsely populated area, no one would know whether the man was thrown into Tokyo Bay or jumped in by himself.

However, just after Vermouth drove through an intersection, she noticed something was wrong. Why was there a Peugeot car following her? Could it be that this person noticed that there was something wrong with her identity?

She squinted her eyes and looked towards the driver's seat, only to find that it was an extremely familiar face.

FBI agent, Judy Stelling.

Humph, it turned out to be the FBI’s little wild cat. I didn’t expect that he was chasing me so closely and even followed me all the way to Tokyo.

Vermouth took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent an email to a man named "Calvados". The content of the email was very simple, asking him to wait in the container area and shoot the other person when he heard the prompt.

She had no interest in the young man pursuing her. After all, she already had someone she loved in her heart, and she no longer had the chance to say...any words to that person.

It is difficult for a living person to surpass the status of a dead person in a person's heart, not to mention that the person is the one she secretly loves.

After driving into the dock, Vermouth looked at the Peugeot car that had no intention of hiding, and did a beautiful drift.

She noticed that Huiyuan Ai, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she comforted her:

"Haibara-san, please sit in the car for a while. I'll go ask Judy if she needs me for something."

"Teacher Judy?" Edogawa Conan showed a frightened expression and nodded slightly.

Vermouth was not worried that this was a trap set by the FBI. She calmly got out of the car and looked at Judy who had also gotten out, and asked:

"Teacher Judy, what can I do for you?"

"I'm fine. I just happened to see you... and that cool little girl while taking a ride, so I wanted to come and say hello. It's so late, and you might as well ask where you want to take her." Judy shrugged naturally and sat on the hood, her right hand quietly approaching the place where the pistol was hidden.

"I'm a doctor, so naturally I'll take Huibara-san to see a doctor. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Oh? Are you leaving now? You and I still have a lot to say."

Vermouth frowned. She vaguely sensed that the other party had recognized her identity, but she still pretended to be unaware:

"Teacher Judy, it seems we are not very familiar with each other?"

"Really?" Judy narrowed her beautiful light blue drooping eyes, imitating the gesture Vermouth had made to her twenty years ago, and put her index finger to her lips. "A secret makes a woman woman. In order to remember this sentence forever, I also used it as a catchphrase."

It is remarkable that Judy can remain so calm in the face of her father's murderer. She is always awakened by a nightmare, in which she always dreams of herself struggling in a fire.

If she hadn't gone out to buy orange juice that day, she would have lost the chance of revenge forever.

It was also because of this that she was able to rely on the only relic left by her father to find fingerprints on the glasses and confirm that the person who killed her father was the woman in front of her, codenamed Vermouth - Chris Wynyard.
