As a member of the Black Organization, Vermouth naturally did not give up her work. While hiding her identity, she continued her search and investigation.
But not long ago, Vermouth heard a piece of news from the bug she placed in Dr. Agasa's house.
That little girl who always hangs out with Conan and the others is actually Xue Li who has been missing from the organization for a long time!
To be honest, Vermouth was quite surprised to receive this news. For this reason, she deliberately hid her identity and took a few photos from a distance. Then Vermouth immediately became convinced that the person who turned into a little girl as "Haibara Ai" was none other than Sydney, who had disappeared and was wanted in the organization.
But Vermouth's discovery was more than that.
By following Xue Li, she discovered that she had a close relationship with another woman and called her sister. Although they looked completely different, by observing the close relationship between the two, Vermouth had a guess that the woman was most likely Xue Li's biological sister - Miyano Akemi!
This is big news!
Vermouth remembered very clearly that Gin told her in person that he killed Shirley's sister, but if this woman was really Miyano Akemi, then what Gin said would obviously be discounted.
As for why the appearance is different, it is easy to understand. It is either disguise, makeup, or plastic surgery. After all, it is not easy to escape from the organization, so it is normal to have a plastic surgery.
But then the second question arises, which is why do they still stay here?
Although Vermouth's first reaction was that the two had turned to the police, she soon realized that she was overthinking it. If they really had turned to the police, they would have been far away from Tokyo by now. And no matter how stupid the Japanese police were, they would not be so stupid as to let the witnesses live their daily lives under the organization's noses, so another explanation was that the two were baits.
After all, if the organization knew that Miyano Akemi and Xueli were not dead, they would definitely send people to hunt them down. At that time, it would be hard to say who would take the bait...
So here comes the third question...
Thinking of this, Vermouth picked up the dart at hand, aimed at the dartboard not far away and threw it hard. The dart flashed in the air and then stuck in a photo of a man.
Square.
President of Umbrella Corporation, special consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, creator of Skynet system, expert in micro-expressions. This is the information that Vermouth got from the surroundings through disguise. According to the results of the investigation, there seems to be nothing particularly strange, but he lives with the sisters, which is another matter.
And judging from the interaction between the two, this man and Miyano Akemi don't seem to be lovers. Strictly speaking, they are more like siblings - well, so much so that Vermouth actually looked through the Miyano family tree and confirmed that the Miyano couple did not have a third child and that no one had an affair during marriage...
should?
After all, it is impossible for the organization to investigate even such matters in detail. If Professor Miyano made a mistake outside, it is impossible for him to report such matters to the organization... Well, let's stop thinking about it here.
Let’s talk about something practical.
But if that's the case, there's a big problem.
That's the relationship between these people.
Gin said that after he killed Miyano Akemi, he had a fight with an unidentified man, who pierced his chest with a knife. Fortunately, it was a small knife. If it had been longer, he would probably never have been able to come back.
When the three of them fought with the unidentified man in black in the old building of the Beihu Hotel, the man showed his skill in using flying knives, and that man also had a "grudge against Vermouth for cutting off her ears". However, after escaping, none of the three of them could remember what the man looked like...
If this woman is really Miyano Akemi, then this man named Fang Zheng has an inseparable connection with the man in black who attacked Gin and Vodka and later fought with the three of them. In addition, the organization has obtained intelligence from the FBI undercover...
Hmm... does that mean this man named Fang Zheng is a member of the terrorist organization Peace Messenger?
A member of a terrorist organization actually became a special adviser to the Metropolitan Police Department. This is too... Well, it seems that they have no right to criticize others.
After all, they do similar things.
But if that's the case, then Vermouth will have a headache.
Because they had been repeatedly told not to have anything to do with this organization called "Peace Messenger" - this is the first organization that can confront the United States of America head-on without losing, and even caused bloodshed in the United States. You know, at the beginning, the US government was furious and said that it must make this organization pay the price and must capture their leaders for trial and execution.
What is the result? Now the White House press secretary has begun to appeal on TV: "The people are innocent, we can sit down and talk..."
How could they afford to offend a terrorist organization that could force a country's government to this extent?
These are a bunch of absolute lunatics!
Although the United States has also called on all countries to unite and launch a war on terror, few countries have actually dared to take action, although they only responded verbally. After all, the peace envoys are really unscrupulous and will do anything to achieve their goals. They are all anti-human and anti-social elements, and they are never afraid of making things worse, even using white phosphorus bombs and poison gas bombs, completely disregarding the Vienna Convention on Human Rights.
In fact, the United States originally tried to find some clues from the explosives and wreckage of these terrorists, but what made them depressed was that all the terrorists used American equipment. If you only looked at the weapons and not the people, you would think they were elite American special forces fighting in the city.
What’s even more embarrassing is that even the Agent Orange that they put in the city was what the United States left behind in Vietnam…
If this is a global terrorist organization, then everyone will naturally cooperate sincerely, but if it is only harming the United States...
Then other people will have to think about it.
Australia did respond initially and sent its own special police to assist the FBI in the investigation. But the next day they set a forest fire that almost burned down the entire Sydney.
Then Australia was so scared that it immediately shut up and dared not fart again.
With this precedent, other countries naturally don't want to get into trouble, and forces like the Black Organization are determined to stay away from these lunatics. They are as shy as rats, but if you provoke these lunatics, they might blow up your land and cave together and turn everything out.
That's really bad luck.
According to Vermouth's usual practice, she should find an opportunity to kill Miyano Akemi now, and then pretend it was an accident, and then disguise herself as Miyano Akemi to test and investigate Fang Zheng. But she didn't dare to take this risk. The other party was walking on the street so openly, and there was nothing special about him except for his makeup. It felt like he was really starting a new life. This was simply a glaring bait. How stupid was she to take the bait?
As for disguising herself to get close to Fang Zheng, this method was relatively safe, but it was still rejected by Vermouth. She already knew that the other party was an expert in micro-expressions. As a senior actor, Vermouth was very clear about the power of micro-expressions. Moreover, even if her disguise skills were superb, after all, she was wearing a fake face, so her expressions would be somewhat inadequate.
Of course, most people probably wouldn't notice it, but it's different for a micro-expression expert like Fang Zheng. If things go wrong, people might see through your disguise at a glance and even play along with you, which would be really humiliating.
In addition, there is the famous detective Kudo Shinichi... No, it should be called Edogawa Conan.
According to the intelligence that Vermouth eavesdropped on from Dr. Agasa, they seem to have some connection with this organization, which is very troublesome, especially since Ran Mouri seems to be involved as well.
We have to find a way.
Vermouth looked serious as she looked at the photos of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan. If the man named Fang Zheng was really a member of the Peace Messenger as she imagined, then it would be too dangerous for him to continue to have contact with these two people!
Vermouth thought that if Fang Zheng was a member of the Peace Messenger, then he must be here to prepare for the next terrorist attack. Considering that there are also US military bases in Japan, and the "Peace Messenger" organization's consistent anti-American attitude, this is almost a foregone conclusion. And his current behavior is probably just a disguise. As for Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, it is very likely that they have been used by him!
But...she couldn't possibly tell Kudo Shinichi all these things!
If it really doesn't work, let me find a way.
Staring at the photo on the dart board, Vermouth's expression became more serious and cold.
Then she picked up the envelope next to her and slowly opened it.
For Fang Zheng, this period could not have been smoother.
After the death of the president, Umbrella came directly with a huge amount of funds and completely controlled the leaderless TV station. It was much smoother than the previous negotiation with that guy, so you see, Conan is really a lucky cat!
That day, after Fang Zheng signed the agreement, he went home swaying proudly.
"We're back."
"Welcome back, Master Fangzheng, Master Mingmei."
Hearing that Fang Zheng had returned, the Xia Li sisters hurried out to greet him. Then, the elder sister Xia Li took Fang Zheng's coat and handed him a letter.
"Master Fang Zheng, this is your letter."
"Mine? Who writes to me?"
Looking at the envelope in front of him, Fang Zheng muttered something, then opened the letter. Inside the letter was an invitation letter and a piece of letter paper.
"Dear Mr. Fang Zheng, on the night of the full moon this month, please allow me to invite you to participate in this horrific banquet. This will be a bloody party on the boat. Of course, whether you attend or not, the dying poor lamb will curse his fate, and the sinner will get drunk before he dies... and your secret will be made public... What the hell is this?"
"What is this, Mr. Founder?"
"Invitation? Threat? I don't understand what this is."
"It says your unspeakable secret...?"
"Tsk, you are just trying to bluff me. As the saying goes, if you have done nothing wrong in your life, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door at night. If a female ghost really comes to my door, I will buy her a drink. Of course, if it's a male, forget it."
Fang Zheng snorted and shrugged his shoulders, and Mingmei smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
"So are you going, Mr. Founder?"
"To be honest, I don't really want to go. I actually want to see what secrets the other party can reveal of mine..."
Having said this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.
“Honestly, this is quite interesting.”
