Chapter 3461 3473 [Summon Calvados] Ask for monthly ticket ()

"Could it be..." Belmode felt a chill on his spine as he thought of a possibility. "Could it be that Uzo already knew my plan, so he asked the cool guy to pretend to be Shirley?"

"...No, we can't be so pessimistic. On the bright side, Cool Guy is a perceptive person, and Kudo Yusaku has a few friends in the FBI. It's not surprising that they saw through my deception and took action themselves."

No matter what, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. It is too late to back out now.

Therefore, just now, after discovering the true identity of "Haibara Ai", Vermouth was shocked, but she quickly came up with a second plan.

——That is to follow the cool guy's verification method and send the answer to "Dr. Shindo" in advance, allowing him to successfully answer the question and disguise himself as Dr. Shindo himself.

"It's like a game of eagle and chicks. The hen standing at the front stands up and fights against the eagle to protect the chicks behind her.

"And at this moment, when he suddenly realized that the 'eagle' in front of him was just a passerby who would not attack him, what would the protective hen do?"

——Generally speaking, of course you should turn around immediately to check the situation of the chicks behind you and see if the real eagle has circled behind you, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

In order to make Conan panic and instinctively confirm what he was protecting, Vermouth deliberately called people out of the car in the identity of "Judy", further depriving this mini detective of his sense of security.

Originally, this plan was about to succeed. Just now, Vermouth even saw Conan take out his mobile phone and open the address book.

But unfortunately, perhaps because the shock she had experienced before was too great, and she was too eager to catch Sulli as soon as possible, her acting skills had a flaw - that short moment of expectant silence was actually caught by the cool guy, and she came to her senses.

"It seems that we have to change the plan." Looking at Conan who was lost in thought, and glancing at "Dr. Arata" next to him with the corner of her eyes, Vermouth did not directly point out the current situation.

She quietly took out her cell phone and began to tap on it rapidly again.

"I can't give up just like that. There's still a chance." Vermouth secretly comforted herself in her heart:

"Although Shirley is timid, she is not the type to watch others sacrifice themselves for her. If she knew someone was being used as a scapegoat for her, she would definitely not hide quietly in the back."

"Cool guy figured out my plan, but that's okay. He doesn't have to go find Shirley, he can let Shirley come find him. That woman who grew up in the lab is different from Cool guy. Nervousness will only cause her thinking to stop, and then she'll act according to her stupid instincts."

"Also, I need another person to help me do another thing..."

Vermouth glanced at Bourbon out of the corner of her eye.

Originally, Bourbon was just going to be a confused stage prop, to be thrown to Uzo after use. But now, as the plan becomes more and more complicated, the things Bourbon might know are also increasing.

"Although he had almost no contact with Shirley, he might not recognize the young version of Miyano Shiho and guess that Cool Guy was in a similar situation...but there is always a chance."

So Vermouth sent a message to Calvados, intending to ask the sniper to come as soon as possible and find an opportunity to kill Bourbon.

...Even if we can't kill him, we must at least delay him until Uzo's attention is focused here, and then let Bourbon die in Uzo's script.

Of course, if the worst-case scenario is that Uzo already knows about her actions tonight... then Calvados is not completely useless.

"Uzo's stage is always logical and requires sufficient foreshadowing... In other words, Calvados, who was brought in at short notice, shouldn't be my enemy."

Vermouth muttered to herself, "The reason I didn't let Calvados play the role of 'Dr. Arata' is because his relationship with me is too obvious. If he suddenly disappears for a few days, Uzo will easily associate it with my actions.

"Comparatively, it's easier to find that Bourbon who seems to have nothing to do with me. Besides, when the truth is revealed, he can handle it much better than Calvados.

"But now, exposure is inevitable. It's time to use Calvados as a chess piece."

…

At the beach, in a ramen restaurant open late at night.

After playing in a nearby outdoor CS experience field for a day, Calvados bought a bowl of ramen. While he was slurping his food, he heard the ringtone of his special ringtone.

His eyes lit up and he quickly put down his chopsticks and picked up his phone.

——The goddess hadn’t paid any attention to him for a while, and she hadn’t mentioned why she had called him back to Tokyo. What on earth was she planning to do?

It just so happened that Calvados had been very busy recently because of the lost gun and the rented house, and he didn't want to meet the goddess in such a miserable state, so the two had not been in contact.

But today…

"I can finally serve that goddess?" Calvados' eyes lit up and he opened his mailbox expectantly.

After a few seconds, the curve of his mouth dropped and his whole face became depressed.

"The goddess asked me to help her snipe someone, but..."

Where is the gun on him?

Not to mention sniper rifles, even pistols...

Damn detective, he must be the nemesis!

"No, not just the detectives, but also the guys in logistics!"

He just wanted a few guns, but the logistics people kept pushing the issue back and forth, making all kinds of excuses. Plus, he hadn't received any missions recently, so there was really no need to allocate guns... Until today, as a sniper, he was still unarmed.

...If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have said it was okay for the sake of face when the goddess asked him about the situation.

But if he asked the goddess to help him get a gun, he would first have to explain where his original gun had gone. It was a double embarrassment that Calvados really couldn't accept.

"What should I do?" Calvados turned around twice in a panic: should I tell the truth, or...

"Do you need help?"

At this moment, a voice came from the side. At the same time, someone pulled out a stool and sat next to him.

…

port.

After receiving Calvados's reply, Vermouth felt a little relieved.

She secretly weighed the difficulty of killing Bourbon, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side - Conan finally came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"This 'Animato Doctor' is fake." Conan lowered his voice and said to her nonchalantly, "Although he answered the question about the switch, he doesn't know who was present that night - he must be Vermouth. Let's take him down first."

——After thinking it over, Conan had no other choice but to take a gamble and pretend that he didn't notice anything wrong with "Judy". He pretended to cooperate with her and bring down "Dr. Arata".

If "Judy" is willing to sacrifice "Dr. Arata" in order to conceal her identity, then he will have one less enemy to deal with.
