"Old acquaintances" Nakamichi and Kanazawa walked towards us carrying bags.
Having overheard the conversation, they asked:
What case are you investigating?
"Are you investigating that paranormal event?"
This is the most widely circulated event at Teitan High School during this period.
That was the only possibility they could think of.
Upon meeting an old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time, Conan instinctively wanted to say hello.
But before he could speak, he remembered his current identity.
So he closed his mouth, which he had just opened.
Neither Nakamichi nor Kanazawa noticed Conan.
Upon learning that the investigation was about the recent paranormal events circulating at the school, Nakamichi deliberately made a face and stuck out his tongue, saying:
"They're here! They're here!"
"The ghosts have come to seek revenge on you!"
Seeing the two causing trouble, Sonoko put her hands on her hips and asked coldly:
"By the way, did you two pass your make-up exams?"
The two of them seemed happy when they talked about this:
"Barely passed."
"Hehe, I thought I was going to fail again."
As Conan watched the group chat, his sense of loss grew stronger.
Mitsuyu noticed that Conan's expression was a little off.
But it wasn't a good time to say anything.
I feel that a line from "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" perfectly captures this moment:
"The excitement is theirs, it has nothing to do with me."
...
We're all classmates, and we get along pretty well.
A little jokes are acceptable.
Just kidding, Nakamichi, Kanazawa, Tashiro, and Hidaka prepared to go home.
The four of them bid farewell to Guangyou and his group:
"Then keep up the good work on your investigation, we're off now."
These are the words spoken by Nakamichi and Kanazawa.
As a woman, Hidaka and Tashiro said:
"If you ever uncover the truth behind these paranormal events, remember to tell us!"
"Yes, of course!" Xiaolan waved goodbye to the others.
Before leaving, Hidaka and Dashiro said something to Kosuke:
"Kuangyou, you can come visit us when you have time!"
"Next time, I'll bring you some delicious snacks."
"Thank you, both of you sisters," Guangyou said politely.
After waving goodbye to the group again, the two turned and left.
After distributing cards to several people, the group entered the school.
Following behind Ran and the other girl with his head down, Conan looked at the ground and whispered to Kouyu:
“I should have been attending classes at this school every day.”
"When I'm tired of studying and feel bored, I chat with my classmates."
"Living the life of an ordinary high school student..."
After hearing Conan's account, Kōyū also had a lot to say.
For example:
"If you hadn't gone up alone, you wouldn't have been given APTX4869."
"Conan will not exist either."
Or perhaps:
"You, a high school detective who's somewhat famous in the Kanto region, are you just an ordinary person?"
However, he knew that Conan was feeling somewhat heavy-hearted at the moment.
So I didn't say those words out loud.
At this point, Conan also recalled what happened that day.
He frowned slightly and continued:
"It's all because of those two guys."
"If it weren't for Gin and Vodka finding out that day and forcing me to take that drug."
"It wouldn't have turned out like this."
After saying this, Conan turned to look at Kousuke and asked:
"Kuangyou, do you really think that woman named Vermouth is trustworthy?"
"Unreliable," Guangyou said truthfully.
He didn't think Vermouth was a trustworthy person.
However, there are exceptions in certain situations.
Hearing Kōyū's words, Conan frowned and asked:
"Then why did you let her go that day?"
"They even said they would take advantage of her conflict with the organization."
"If things had gone according to my plan, given the circumstances at the time..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kōyū interrupted him and continued:
"If things had gone according to your plan, given the circumstances at the time, you would be dead."
Conan's plan seemed to be going very smoothly that day.
But that's because Vermouth was letting the water out.
The entire Tokyo Bay was drained.
Otherwise, Conan would have died at least seven or eight times.
“...”
Conan was speechless.
He had no choice but to ask again:
"If you think she's untrustworthy, why did you let her go?"
"Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking yet," Guangyou said calmly.
Indeed, Vermouth cannot be completely trusted.
She is a very mysterious person.
Their movements and thoughts are impossible to guess.
Those on their own side are fine, but Vermouth is an enemy.
This kind of person is someone who entrusts their life to the other party.
But this is under normal circumstances.
The situation was very different when Shinichi Kudo and Ran were together.
They had Shinichi Kudo on board "this ship".
If something happens to them, then Shinichi Kudo will also be in trouble.
This is something Vermouth doesn't want to see.
In addition, she herself had irreconcilable conflicts with the organization.
In this situation, Vermouth can be trusted.
He didn't explain much to Conan, he just said:
“Under normal circumstances, I don’t think she is trustworthy.”
"But she is trustworthy to you."
"And its credibility is very high."
For example...
"Give her a gun and let her choose whether to shoot you or herself."
"Believe it or not, she could shoot herself without hesitation."
This example is very vivid, but also somewhat exaggerated.
