Two minutes ago, Kidd and Miss Miyano were staying in their own box, doing nothing, waiting for Gin's contact, but the sudden sound of gunfire caught their attention.
Kid took action immediately and went to Kogoro Mori's box 8-b first, intending to ask for support and find a helper, but box 8-b was empty. In confusion, Kid heard questioning coming from the next box.
This time... he couldn't keep calm anymore.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"
Holding the headset, Kidd asked nervously:
"Something happened to Vermouth!"
"What's wrong with her?"
Sakaki Makoto responded:
"Have you seen Gin and the others?"
"Not yet, but they've already boarded the train, in the VIP car 8!"
Kidd said anxiously:
"Vermouth is under suspicion because of Akutagawa Ichimoto's incident. I heard Gin say that he would bring her back to the organization and hand her over to the boss for punishment!"
"Don't worry. Vermouth is still the boss's confidant after all. Even if she makes a mistake, she won't be shot on the spot."
Sakaki Makoto frowned, extremely surprised.
In his impression, although Vermouth was not very loyal to the organization, she was definitely not a traitor. Moreover, she hid well, so how could she be exposed suddenly?
Just then... the door of room 8-c suddenly opened.
"Suzie? Why are you here?"
"I heard gunshots and came to see what was going on."
Kidd calmed down, glanced at the scene in the house, tightly grasped the flash bomb in his sleeve, and said expressionlessly:
"What's going on here?"
"nothing."
Gin put away the Beretta M92F without explaining:
"You don't have to come over. It's not time for you to take action yet."
"...knew."
Kidd glanced at the silent Vermouth and turned away.
There was no other way. He could indeed rescue Vermouth, but if he did that, the situation would fall into complete chaos and Sakaki Makoto's identity would be exposed.
Don't be reckless.
After Vodka left, Rum closed the door and said casually:
"If there's something wrong with that little kid next to Maori Kogoro, Suzi might be involved."
"Ah... maybe."
Gin was smoking a cigarette, his expression still cold.
"perhaps?"
Rum raised his eyebrows and looked at him jokingly:
"Gin, you've become weak."
“This is not weakness.”
Gin said lightly:
"First of all, you know the relationship between Suzi and the boss. Even if he has problems, it is not for me to decide. Secondly..."
"The true identity of Edogawa Conan is still uncertain. If he can fool us, can he not fool Suzi?"
"As far as I know..."
Rum shook his head.
"Suzi has a close relationship with Edogawa Conan. You should know this better than me."
"......"
Gin stopped talking and began to recall Sakaki Makoto's every move in the past year, including his actions when he was carrying out missions.
Just as Rum said, Edogawa Conan appeared as early as when Makoto Sakaki just joined the organization, and Gin had even seen him. At that time, Shirley had not yet betrayed the organization, and the research institute had not been burned down by fire.
When I think of Edogawa Conan calling me brother...
Gin felt nauseous.
"aptx4869 is such a magical thing..."
Rum stopped dwelling on the question about Makoto Sakaki and instead picked up the medicine box on the table with some emotion, looking at the red and white pills inside and said:
"It has been half a century since the organization launched the aptx project. As of today, there has finally been a new breakthrough.... I will take these drugs back and give them to the boss."
"You can only take half. I will give the remaining half to the research institute so that they can continue their research."
"no problem."
Rum readily agreed:
"Although Vermouth betrayed the organization, we have also found the key to the aptx plan. The boss will definitely be very happy."
"You are happy too early."
Gin said coldly:
"Akai Tsutomu hasn't been dealt with yet, so it's still unknown whether we can take these pills away."
"Akai Mutake?"
After a slight pause, Rum smiled:
"Gin, Gin, you don't think Akai Tsutomu is really alive..."
Ashes fell, Gin narrowed his eyes, turned his head and looked at Rum:
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean."
Rum smiled and said:
"Akai Tsutomu does not exist at all. He died 17 years ago. I saw it with my own eyes. As for the Akai Tsutomu that Bourbon and Vermouth saw, he was just an illusion created by Kaito Kid in disguise. Someone wants to use him to force us to take action..."
"Are you so sure?"
"certainly."
"What if he's still alive?"
"Then we're in big trouble..."
Putting away his smile, Rum said quietly:
"It's because the boss doesn't dare to gamble on the possibility that he's still alive that he sent us out, right? But I still think that it's more likely that Akai Tsutomu is dead. Compared to him, Suzi is the problem that should be dealt with the most."
"You didn't trust him from the beginning."
"That's right, his whole family are traitors. The blood flowing in his body is full of treason!"
"What about Bourbon? You don't trust Suzi, so you sent Bourbon to keep an eye on Maori Kogoro. But what Bourbon reported was basically the same as Suzi's. If Suzi is a traitor, then Bourbon is also a traitor."
