Chapter 196: Confrontation with Vermouth



But Hoshino Aoi will not be fooled by her performance.

She raised her eyebrows, not caring about the gun being pushed away from her hand, and smiled at Vermouth:

"You mean the photo of you being rescued by that Kudo-kun and watching him walk away with his girlfriend? I can show it to you, but what do you want..."

She drew out the words, and the curve of her lips matched her tone, making people feel that she sounded bad, and the words she uttered afterwards made Vermouth narrow her eyes.

"don't want."

Hoshino Aoi's answer was firm and decisive, and even when facing Vermouth's cold gaze, there was no change in her tone.

"Oh……"

Vermouth chuckled, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and you've become a lot braver."

In the past, threatening her with the lab would still make her obey, but now...

Vermouth narrowed her eyes slightly, and her cold gaze swept across her body inch by inch.

I feel that based on her current attitude of even daring to take advantage of the organization, even if she is thrown into the organization's laboratory immediately, she will not feel any fear.

Yes.

When she saw Aoi Hoshino, Vermouth knew that they were all being used by Aoi Hoshino.

Although I don't know how that Pramya got into trouble with her.

But since she did not die in the explosion, she used the explosion to create the illusion that she was dead, and successfully left the organization.

That means that the bomb was most likely not installed by Pramya, but by herself.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the bomb incident was indeed done by Pramya, but this was also within Hoshino Aoi's expectations.

That's why she was able to escape.

And this achievement was achieved right under Gin's nose.

If she hadn't revealed herself after realizing she had evidence against her, Vermouth felt that no one would have suspected her death at all.

After all, it's gin.

The person who witnessed the explosion, or rather her 'death', was Gin!

It is impossible for Gin to hide the truth for anyone, so who would have thought that everything was done on purpose by her?

Therefore, the organization naturally attributed her "death" to Pramya's provocation.

This is why the organization started hunting down Pramya.

Who would have thought that this was actually fake?

She wasn't afraid of accidentally getting out of control and actually dying in the explosion!

However, in response to this, Hoshino Aoi just curved her eyebrows and smiled faintly:

"Thank you for the compliment. I also feel that I am a lot braver now."

Compared to her past self, Hoshino Aoi does feel that she has grown a lot.

Anyway, if it were her past self, Hoshino Aoi didn't think she could solve those cases so easily. Of course, she also didn't think she could come up with so many methods of committing the crime so easily.

If I think about it this way, I really don’t know whether her change is good or bad...

But at least for what she wants to do, this change is indeed a good thing.

After all, the stronger your ability and the harder your heart, the greater the possibility of success.

Just like now...

Even facing Vermouth's cold gaze, Hoshino Aoi didn't feel anything at all. She could still continue to smile nonchalantly:

"Whoa, don't get so excited, Sharon..."

She called her in a long voice, with obvious teasing in her tone:

"If your hand shakes accidentally, then the photos of the two children, as well as the photos of you being rescued and letting them go, oh, and also your relationship with Kudo Yukiko, and the relationship between the two children and Kudo Yukiko, will all be sent to other people in the organization~"

"Click—"

Feeling the cold touch on her forehead, Aoi Hoshino's expression didn't change at all as she continued:

"If I remember correctly, Vermouth, you're not very popular in the organization, right? I wonder if others will take out their anger on you on those two children...ah, maybe Kudo Yukiko too? What a pity, I really like watching her movies."

She looked a little regretful.

"And those two kids are only 15 years old. Their lives have just begun. It would be a shame if something unexpected happened to them."

"It was just that I was rescued accidentally."

Even at this point, Vermouth was unwilling to admit that she did develop different feelings towards Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran because of this incident.

After all, as long as she admitted this matter, she would be handing the handle to Hoshino Aoi.

So no matter what, she would never admit it on her own initiative.

Vermouth even brought the topic to Gin, trying to tell her in this way that she was just rescued. If she would look at someone differently just because of such a "small" thing, then how many people would she have to look at differently?

"Let's not talk about others, just Gin, he has come to my rescue countless times, and there's Bourbon and you, which one of you hasn't come to my rescue? If I become attached to someone after they saved me once, then I might as well split my heart into countless pieces, so that you don't have to fight over it and take it all away."

But no matter how she behaved, Hoshino Aoi always had an expression that said, "No matter what you say, I won't believe it anyway." Seeing this, Vermouth couldn't help but pause, not knowing what to do.
