They probably felt they had victory in the bag.
Hoping to make Vermouth die knowing why, Judy revealed their original plan:
"Of course, the people sitting in that car at the time were several of my companions carrying oxygen tanks."
"Actually, the real Dr. Araide is now living a peaceful life far away from here."
"As we expected, you later impersonated Dr. Araide and began your investigation at Araide Hospital."
"As for what you're investigating..."
"It would be clear as soon as I sneaked into your room at the hospital."
“There’s a photo of you pinning a target to it with a dart.”
"The photo shows a young woman, around twenty years old, with slightly reddish brown hair."
In addition, Judy also shared her speculation:
"You want to find the woman in the photo and then kill her, right?"
This is all information they already know.
Even now, they still have some questions that remain unanswered.
Therefore, after Judy finished saying these words, she began to ask Vermouth:
"Now it's my turn to ask you."
"The little girl you want to bring out and kill looks almost exactly like the woman in the photo..."
Is she really the young woman in the photo?
Upon hearing Judy's question, Vermouth gave a meaningful chuckle.
Judy continued asking questions at this point:
"Also, what's the meaning of those two photos you pasted below that one?"
"The question should be, what do 'Cool guy' and 'Angel' mean on those two photos?"
"That boy is indeed very smart."
"But he's not old enough yet, so he shouldn't be Guy, but Kid, right?"
"I'm talking about that little boy named Conan."
"Also, I want to know why you had no reason to do it before the little boy left the little girl."
"And on that hijacked bus..."
"The reason why you stepped forward to protect him without hesitation."
"Could you tell me?"
None of these problems were resolved by Vermouth.
At that moment, Vermouth was listening to the proceedings of the party through her earpiece.
...
Just as the invitation stated.
A murder actually occurred at this party.
Meanwhile, the murderer has already been identified by "Shinichi Kudo".
The murderer told everyone present that he was threatened by Vermouth and had no choice but to commit the crime.
But he had no evidence to tell everyone who Vermouth really was.
Therefore, this case has officially come to an end.
They knew that once the ship docked at dawn, the prisoners could be handed over to the police.
Vermouth smiled slightly upon learning that the murder case at the party was solved by "Shinichi Kudo".
She then said:
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
That's because...
As she spoke, Vermouth reached into her inner pocket and pulled out a pistol.
But Judy was a step ahead of her.
Draw your gun, aim, fire...
The series of movements were completed smoothly and effortlessly.
The bullet fired from the muzzle hit Vermouth's pistol with pinpoint accuracy.
The immense impact caused the pistol to slip from Vermouth's hand.
Having already used weapons, Judy naturally wouldn't continue speaking in a casual tone.
She held the guns with both hands, aimed at Vermouth, and shouted:
"Don't move!"
Despite being held at gunpoint, Vermouth remained completely calm.
She said with a smile:
"This is really a headache."
"You actually brought such a dangerous thing with you."
"By the way, did you get permission from the Japanese police?"
They acted without permission from the local police and even used firearms.
This is a big problem.
But this issue isn't really a big deal.
Let's set aside the fact that Shuichi Akai is contacting the head of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
Even without permission, we still have to take action.
Judy didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.
She said:
"I think it's not too late to apply to the police here after I've apprehended you."
"Of course, I have to accept the punishment."
"But before that, there's something I need to ask you."
"Oh? What is it?" Vermouth asked casually.
There was absolutely no sense of tension one should feel when being pointed at with a gun.
Why don't you get old?
This isn't just Judy's problem.
It's also a problem for their entire group.
Although there had been speculation, there was no evidence to prove it.
If it could be proven, they would have applied for an arrest warrant long ago and arrested Chris Vineyard directly.
After asking the question that had been bothering her for a long time, Judy continued:
"I first noticed you had a problem because of what you said at your mother's funeral."
"A secret makes a woman woman."
"I am excited to begin my investigation into you."
"They are exactly the same."
"Back then, you did this to make it look like my father committed suicide."
You picked up the glasses that had fallen on the ground, intending to rearrange them.
"But you carelessly left your fingerprints on the lens."
"I think you were so careless because you had planned to set the fire to destroy the evidence all along."
