"You were nearby at the time."
Bathed in the smiling gaze of Hoshino Aoi, Edogawa Conan said with such certainty:
"That's why you said you saw a good show."
etc……
He looked at Hoshino Aoi with suspicion.
"The reason why Vermouth was able to evade the FBI's pursuit is not because of you, right?"
"How is that possible?"
Aoi Hoshino flatly denied that she played any role in this matter.
"I just happened to be passing by. After all, anyone who sees their former colleague, and of course, current enemy, at a crime scene would probably follow them to see what's going on, right?"
She shrugged casually, seemingly not at all shy about her former identity.
And she wasn't wrong...
"I had to know if her target was me, but I didn't expect that she would actually give me a good show."
"Then what."
Edogawa Conan didn't dwell on this topic anymore.
After all, whether it is questioning her why she just watched silently and whether she was not afraid that Vermouth would really kill them, or exploring the reason why she chased after them at that time and whether it was really so simple, it is all meaningless.
So Edogawa Conan didn't ask any more questions, but just followed her words and asked about her subsequent actions.
after all……
"I don't believe you'll do nothing after knowing this."
This may be just a small matter for ordinary people, but for someone like Vermouth who lives in darkness, it is definitely a big handle.
Edogawa Conan didn't believe that she would do nothing.
After all, even after he knew about this, his first reaction was what he could do with this matter and whether he could pull her to their side.
If Vermouth could really become theirs...
Thinking of the other party's position in the Black Organization and the information that the other party might know, Edogawa Conan's eyes almost turned green.
And Aoi Hoshino did not disappoint him.
After hearing his words, she nodded immediately, but before he could ask, she refused bluntly:
"This is a little secret between me and Vermouth. I can't tell you."
"Eh?! Why is this happening..."
Edogawa Conan wailed:
“I haven’t even told you that you’re using me as a tool to negotiate terms with Vermouth, and you’re already saying you won’t tell me…”
Isn’t this too much?
He was clearly the one who negotiated the conditions, but he still didn't know...
Unfortunately, in response to his complaint, Hoshino Aoi just curved her eyebrows and said lightly:
"Who told you that you didn't know anything at that time, and..."
She snorted softly:
"If I hadn't told you, you'd still be confused, so you should be content, Shinichi-kun."
"whispering sound……"
Edogawa Conan showed his half-moon eyes:
"Obviously I guessed it myself."
But if Solana really didn't want to tell him, there was no way she would let him find any flaws in her words.
Edogawa Conan thought silently in his heart, and just lightly ignored the fact that she had used him as an excuse to make a deal with Vermouth, and did not mention it again.
but……
"Then shouldn't you also tell me what you want to do?"
Although she has already left the Black Organization, neither making a deal with Vermouth nor letting Toru Amuro notice her seems to be something a traitor to the organization should do.
Haven’t you seen that Haibara Ai, who is also a defector like her, would rather not even go out of the house every day. Once she smells the scent of people from the Black Organization nearby, her face changes faster than anyone else, and she hides in a flash, for fear of being noticed.
But Solana didn't hide it at all.
She was clearly wearing a disguise, but it was no different from not having it. Even someone like him who had never seen her true face could guess that she must be wearing a disguise mask.
As for people like Haibara Ai who once knew her, they confirmed her identity after a moment's hesitation.
But even so, she still walked up to Vermouth and Amuro Toru with confidence, and even deliberately attracted their attention.
This makes people wonder what she wants to do.
However, in contrast, Hoshino Aoi tilted her head and said as if it was a matter of course:
"Didn't I just tell you this? To prevent you from interfering in the affairs between Amuro Toru and Akai Shuichi."
Seeing that Edogawa Conan still had a look of disbelief on his face, Hoshino Aoi curved her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"As for Vermouth, with your divine weapon in hand, even if she discovered my identity, she wouldn't take the initiative to tell the organization. As for Amuro Toru... you guessed right, he is indeed Bourbon."
With Shuichi Akai, who knew Toru Amuro's identity, there was no need for Aoi Hoshino to hide this identity of Toru Amuro, so she naturally told him the whole story without any deception or concealment.
"And he has a pretty good relationship with Vermouth, so you don't have to worry too much about what he will do to you or Xiaolan."
Hoshino Aoi said, shrugging her shoulders:
"If I'm not mistaken, there's probably an agreement between the two of them, like not harming you or something like that, and Bourbon... based on my understanding of him, he'll probably use this as a threat to get Vermouth to do something for him."
"So, to some extent, the two of them are partners who share a secret?"
Edogawa Conan asked.
And to this, Hoshino Aoi also expressed her affirmation, but...
"Well... you could say that, but my friends in the organization..."
She didn't say anything else, but just chuckled and continued:
"But if Vermouth really wants to attack Shirley, considering that you've been near her all this time, Vermouth will most likely only call Bourbon. As for Gin and the others...she should probably find a random excuse to deal with them, right? In any case, she will definitely not let them appear near you."
Hearing this, Edogawa Conan opened his mouth, wanting to tell about the agreement he had made with Vermouth, but when he thought of the existence of Amuro Toru, he slowly closed his mouth.
If she really asked Toru Amuro to help her, and then Toru Amuro took action, it would not be considered a violation of their agreement.
Thinking of this, Edogawa Conan frowned tightly.
He had never thought before that Vermouth would have such a trustworthy person in the organization, so he just wanted to restrain her.
Well, okay, it can't be said that they are trustworthy people, they are just cooperating, but he originally thought that for people like them, they should not trust anyone, but he accidentally overlooked another possibility.
