In the living room, Makoto Sakaki and Kid looked at each other in surprise, both of them were shocked by what Akai Mary said.
17 years ago, Sakaki Ryunosuke introduced Vermouth to Kuroba Toichi to learn the art of disguise and voice changing. What was the reason?
I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that Vermouth participated in the APTX program and maintained her ageless appearance.
In the final analysis, the APTX plan has not yet been successful. At best, it has been half developed. Eternal youth is only a small probability event. Given the nature of the Black Organization, they will definitely not publicize it. Learning the art of disguise and voice changing is to hide the research progress and protect the organization.
It makes sense and there's nothing wrong with it!
But the problem is...
"Ms. Mary, I have a question that I would like you to help me with."
Sakaki Makoto used honorifics and his tone was very polite. He had made such a huge sacrifice. Calling a woman who looked 12 but was 50 years old at heart "Miss" was something he was doing against his conscience!
Akai Mary's expression didn't change. She didn't care whether Sakaki Makoto called her Miss or Auntie. Of course...
Any woman doesn't like to be called "Ohbasan".
"What role did Vermouth play in the case 17 years ago?"
Just listening to Ishikawa Hide's one-sided story, Sakaki Makoto felt that it was inevitably biased. He didn't think Ishikawa Hide would lie, but what if Ishikawa Hide only knew one side of the story and not the other?
It’s always a good idea to compare prices before shopping.
"Vermouth?"
Akai Mary fiddled with the small curls at the end of her eyebrows, her eyes were calm, as if she had expected Makoto Sakaki to ask this question:
"Considering Vermouth's position in the organization, what role do you think she played? Would the boss of the Black Organization allow a traitor to live to this day?"
“.......”
Pursing his lips, Sakaki Makoto was speechless.
"Now that we have met, let's talk openly."
Without dwelling too much on the matter of Vermouth, Mary Akai thought there was nothing to talk about. She had just been fed APTX4869 mouth-to-mouth a few months ago, and she still felt uncomfortable about it.
"Although I don't know what happened in the organization half a year ago, Mingmei and Shiho are still alive. You must have contributed to this."
With her back straight and her head held high, Akai Mari said in a tone that couldn't be more mature:
"You did a great job, there is no doubt about that... Shiho's whereabouts are still a mystery, but I think she should be in your hands, otherwise Kudo Shinichi, who has close contacts with you, would not have the antidote for APTX4869."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and looked at the little blonde girl calmly, not even glancing at Miss Miyano beside him.
He understood MI6's methods. Like the CIA, MI6 was proficient in intelligence gathering and various lie detection methods. Every agent in it was a master of psychology. As long as Makoto Sakaki showed the slightest flaw, the other party would keenly notice it.
The battle between masters often decides the outcome in an instant.
"But you still made two fatal mistakes."
Akai Mary said calmly:
"The first mistake was that you shouldn't have asked where Mingmei went in front of me, because it exposed your feelings for them sisters."
"You won't restrict the sisters' personal freedom or even have close contact with them frequently, right?"
Sakaki sighed in his heart, leaned back, and lit a cigarette:
"Go on."
“The second mistake is the root cause of your first mistake.”
Akai Mary looked at him calmly:
"The information you obtained interfered with your judgment. After you learned about my relationship with Elena through some channel, you concluded that I was involved in the case 17 years ago. At the same time, the appearance of Zhenchun caught your attention. Until now, you still believe that I will not do anything to hurt them!"
"Up to this point, you haven't realized that your decision has planted hidden dangers. Based on the first mistake you made, I can infer with certainty that Shiho will appear by your side like Mingmei, and you have had too few frequent contacts with women in the past half month, so few that there is no other possibility..."
Shifting her gaze, Akai Mary looked at the disguised Miss Miyano and smiled gently:
"Shiho, you've grown up."
What is it like when a little girl says to an adult, "You've grown up"?
Maybe it's abrupt and strange, but somehow...
Miss Miyano's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and felt sour.
"We can talk about the past later. Let's get back to the topic."
After the formal greeting, Akai Mary regained her stern and cold expression, staring coldly at Sakaki Makoto, and said word by word:
"You shouldn't trust me, even if I'm Elena's biological sister!"
"Don't be complacent! Your father trusted someone he shouldn't have trusted, which led to the collapse of the situation and all his hard work went to waste!"
"Been taught a lesson."
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sakaki Makoto nodded:
“But I’m surrounded by people I can trust.”
"Who is she then?"
Mary Akai raised her hand and pointed at Liz, who was sitting on the edge of the sofa, secretly drinking Coke and listening with her ears perked up.
She had observed Sakaki Makoto for a while, and it was indeed as he said. The people who appeared around him were Conan, Hattori Heiji, Dr. Agasa, Kaito Kid and others. Although they could not be trusted completely, at least they had the same interests, but...
Liz was an exception. Mary didn't know her identity at all.
"Oh, her name is Liz, and she's from the Hughes family."
Sakaki Makoto shrugged.
"Amanda Hughes's descendant, who was kidnapped and brought back from the United States last time."
“.......”
Amanda Hughes...
Hearing this name, Akai Mari looked at Liz deeply and said nothing. Then she pointed at Sawada Hiroki who was hiding in the room and peeking around. Seeing that he was exposed, he quickly retracted his neck:
"What about him?"
“He…”
Sakaki Makoto's eyes turned:
"My brother is the world's number one hacker. He is absolutely reliable. I am counting on him to locate the Black Organization's headquarters!"
"Sawada Hiroki?"
Akai Mary frowned:
"He's here with you too?"
The news of the disappearance of the computer genius Hiroki Sawada had spread all over the world. Coupled with the previous Noah's Ark hostage-taking incident, the IT circles of various countries knew this 12-year-old boy, and he was nicknamed "Little Turing".
Unfortunately, when Sawada Hiroki became famous, Akai Mary was sailing on the sea, thinking about how to get the antidote and counterattack the Black Organization. She didn't pay much attention to the news, otherwise she would have recognized it at first sight.
As she was thinking, Akai Mary suddenly fell silent.
What kind of people gather around Sakaki Makoto?
Shinichi Kudo, the savior of Japan; Hattori Heiji, the famous detective whose father is the chief of Osaka headquarters; Kaito Kidd, who makes the police of various countries helpless; Hiroki Sawada, the world's number one hacker known as Little Turing; Liz, the girl with a century-old American family behind her; Shiho Miyano, the genius scientist who developed APTX4869...
This lineup...
It’s so luxurious, isn’t it?!
