The two didn't wander around outside for long.
I bought some snacks on the way and then went back.
We had originally planned to watch a movie that evening, and after Kōyū suggested it, Myōno Shiho had no objections.
The two were still discussing what movie to watch that evening.
But when Kousuke asked her to hold him while he looked at him, Shiho Miyano changed her mind.
She said, her expression somewhat unnatural:
"I need to continue the research I didn't finish this afternoon."
"If you want to watch a movie, you can watch it by yourself."
"Or we can watch it together next time."
She rejected Guangyou, citing her research into an antidote as the reason.
Guangyou couldn't very well say something like "we'll study it later."
He could only sigh and console himself by saying:
"It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future."
It's not that Shiho Miyano didn't want to watch a movie with Kousuke.
She herself wanted to watch it with Kwang-yu.
But why did Guangyou make such a request?
She went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.
Cool down your face, which is a little hot.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Shiho Miyano let out a long sigh of relief.
A touch of pink still lingered on her cheeks.
At this time, Shiho Miyano was just an ordinary girl.
You would never guess that she usually has such an "iceberg" demeanor.
Imagining her holding him, Shiho Miyano's cheeks flushed even more.
She's no longer "Ai Haibara," but "Shiho Miyano."
If it were "Ai Haibara", she might have agreed.
But now it's "Shiho Miyano," and for certain reasons, she won't agree.
Although "Ai Haibara" and "Shiho Miyano" are the same person, they are quite different.
After washing her hands, Shiho Miyano left the bathroom.
…
After dinner, Kōyū and Conan talked about what happened on the night of the full moon.
Conan still has some questions about what happened that night.
For example, why did Kōyū dress up as "Ai Haibara"?
They also wanted to disrupt his original plans, hoping to exchange his death for so-called peace.
Of course, Conan didn't believe that Mitsuyu really wanted to "die".
There must be some plan they're keeping from him.
When Conan asked about this, Kousuke didn't hide the whole truth.
He picked up his teacup, took a small sip of water, and then explained:
"I just wanted to take advantage of the gap between Vermouth and the organization."
"You're saying there's a rift between her and the organization?"
Upon hearing this, Conan asked with some curiosity:
"Has she had any conflicts with those people?"
After giving Conan a helpless look, Kōyū sighed and said:
"You, who are usually so observant of details, how come you didn't notice this time?"
“Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person.”
“And Sharon Vineyard has known your mother for a long time, yet she still hasn’t aged.”
"Don't you find it strange?"
After hearing what Kōyū said, Conan understood:
"You mean the reason Vermouth doesn't age is because of those people?"
"Mm." Kōyū nodded.
Then he added:
"To be precise, it was the drug developed by Ai's parents that prevented Vermouth from aging for decades."
"And this drug is the precursor to the APTX4869 you took."
"APTX4869 is a semi-finished product that Ai developed based on the research data of that drug."
At this point, Conan understood:
"So it turns out that she harbored resentment towards Haibara's parents because of that drug."
"Now she's holding a grudge against Haibara again."
He knew the reason, but Conan still didn't quite understand Vermouth's motive:
"But don't many girls not want to grow old?"
Guangyou couldn't answer this question either.
Because a certain otaku who likes playing Kantai Collection and Animal Crossing didn't mention this reason.
He shook his head and said:
"I'm not entirely sure about that."
"All I know is why she wanted to hunt down Ai."
"You'd probably have to ask Vermouth herself about what happened back then."
"Alright."
Leaving those topics aside, Conan recalled the previous conversation and made a summary:
"That means that Haibara's parents developed a drug at the request of those people."
"Because of this drug, Vermouth stopped aging, and some things happened during that time."
"For various reasons, she harbored resentment towards Haibara's parents who developed the drug."
“Yes.” Kōyū nodded.
He then continued:
"And that's exactly what I'm going to do."
"Actually, you might not believe me if I told you."
"Deep down, Vermouth also wanted to destroy the organization."
"In other words, on some level, she is on our side."
Although it seems a bit far-fetched, Conan has to admit that it is indeed a possibility.
He asked:
Do you think she can believe it?
"Also, are you confident in this plan?"
It would be great to start from the inside.
What's scary is that Vermouth suddenly turned against him.
They will not only fail, but also find themselves in an extremely dangerous situation.
If he lacked confidence, he might as well have followed his initial plan.
The plan was to use the audio recording to blackmail Vermouth into taking him to the organization's headquarters, and then have Kōyū lead the police there.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect Vermouth to have prepared a sleeping gas.
