"Like I said, I think I'm pretty lucky."
After Kōsuke said, "I was able to meet you because of your mother," Ai said the same thing.
She leaned on Guangyou's shoulder and said:
"That drug has a near 100% fatality rate."
"I know of two examples of human beings shrinking, including myself."
"If I had been unlucky, I might have died then and there."
Upon hearing this, Guangyou also expressed his agreement:
"Now that you mention it, it's true."
"You've been spending all your time in the research lab, so your physical condition isn't very strong to begin with."
"It is difficult enough to endure the severe pain after taking the medication."
"And fortunately, the drug took effect before a large number of cells died, leading to organ failure and death."
Otherwise, I might not have had the chance to see you.
While helping Ai with her experiments, Kousuke also learned some things about APTX4869.
Upon hearing this, Ai nodded and continued:
"It's too difficult to achieve a controllable ratio."
“I’ve tried to improve it, but there’s been no progress.”
"So, I'm actually pretty lucky."
"First, I survived with a near 100% mortality rate."
"After escaping, I met you again."
After she finished speaking, Guangyou smiled and said:
"That's what I wanted to say too."
"I feel very lucky to have met you."
...
The two snuggled together and chatted for a while.
It didn't end until almost nine o'clock.
Afterwards, the two lay back in their respective beds, closed their eyes, and prepared to rest.
At this time, Haneda Airport...
With her silver hair, Vermouth left the terminal carrying a small suitcase.
She stood on the street, took out a brand new cell phone, and made a call.
After the call connected, she said to the person on the other end:
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"However, I don't think I need to rely on your help yet."
"If you've got your sights set, you'd better hit the bullseye and get it over with."
"Calvados".
...
The FBI agents were still awake at this point.
A group of people, led by Shuichi Akai, were sitting around a table discussing something.
"That woman's target is that little girl with brown hair."
"But do we really want to use her to lure that person out?"
This is what Judy is asking.
They roughly guessed Ai's identity.
Through investigation, it was also learned that Vermouth's target was Ai Haibara.
The plan to capture Vermouth was, in essence, a "fishing operation."
The fish is, of course, Vermouth.
The bait is Ai Haibara.
They first had to use Ai Haibara to lure Vermouth to a specific location before they could capture her.
There's really nothing we can do about it.
In fact, they had already confirmed that Vermouth's true identity was Sharon Vineyard.
She should now be called Chris Vineyard.
Moreover, the FBI already has witness testimony and physical evidence.
Under normal circumstances, it would be perfectly reasonable to request the arrest of Vermouth.
The problem is, who would believe that someone can stay young for over twenty years?
They can explain why they don't age, but there's no evidence to prove it.
Therefore, they could only continue to monitor and look for opportunities.
Another point is that this is Japan.
They had not consulted with Japanese officials beforehand, which greatly restricted their movements.
Under these circumstances, this was the only method they could come up with.
They wanted to use this to capture Vermouth.
Finally, by following the clues, the organization was completely destroyed.
From a mission standpoint, she should support the plan.
From a personal perspective, Jodie didn't want Ai Haibara to become "bait" in her "fishing plan."
She knew very well that Ai Haibara was very important to Kōyū.
If something unexpected happens, who knows what Guangyou might do.
Upon hearing this, James Black, who was sitting next to her, looked up at her and asked in return:
"Do you have any better plans?"
"Our FBI operations are restricted in Japan."
"We also don't have any evidence to explain why she hasn't aged in twenty years."
"It's impossible to obtain an arrest warrant."
"If we don't do this, what other options do we have?"
Judy was well aware of these things as well.
She then explained:
"I'm just worried that if something unexpected happens, it would be unfair to that girl."
James understands the logic, but this is the best approach at the moment.
He said seriously:
There is no true fairness in this world.
You're right.
"If something unexpected happens, it will definitely be a harm to the girl and the people around her."
"But only by sacrificing her will we have a chance to destroy that organization."
"If there is a better way, I would naturally be willing to do so as well."
"But unfortunately, we haven't thought of this method yet."
After saying that, James was silent for a while.
As if he had made a decision, he raised his head and said:
"How about this, you find a chance to ask that little girl what she thinks later."
"If she's willing, then proceed as planned."
"If she doesn't want to, then..."
Because this decision was quite significant, James paused for a second when he got to this point.
Only then did he make up his mind and say:
