Moved out of Lewen's apartment without any warning... Originally, he had no connection with Conan who was at Maori's house... So why did they suddenly have a connection...

Finlandia is saying that the boss is behind all this?!

Although Finlandia did not point it out clearly, both Vermouth and Gin thought of "that person" he was referring to.

It was just as Finlandia said. He moved out of the apartment he had been living in without any warning, moved to Beika Town without any warning, and opened a bookstore. When Vermouth got the news, she laughed at him for being a bookstore owner, but didn't think much about it...

So, could it be that the boss asked Finlandia to do all of this? ! It was not wrong to think so. Finlandia was supposed to accept the boss's task directly and did not need to report to anyone. If he said so, it seemed that there was no problem.

Wait, that's not right.

Vermouth held the unconscious Conan in her arms, pretending that they were a mother and son who had just returned from a play date, then called a taxi and headed for the Mouri Detective Agency. Vermouth sat in the car, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, her eyes full of thoughts.

[That makes sense... But host, wouldn't it be easier to whitewash yourself if you showed some kindness to Vermouth? ]

"...I see." Xian looked up at the ceiling, thinking that he was trying his best to divert his attention away from Conan.

After dropping Conan off at the door of the Maori Detective Agency and knocking on the door, Vermouth walked slowly down the street at night. After she had gotten rid of a worry, she didn't feel relaxed at all. After all... although Gin was stable, there was still Finlandia to deal with.

"Okay, I get it." Xian did not comment on Vermouth's statement, "But, I didn't expect that Vermouth would know Conan-kun?"

[If you really didn't know Conan's identity and helped Vermouth, it might be more convincing. ]

After hanging up the phone with Gin, he continued to lean on the pillow and wait for time. Although he didn't know where they were, he had to give them some time to evacuate. When he thought the time was about right, Xian called Vermouth.

"Look at what you said. I have always respected your opinion, Finlandia." Vermouth answered the phone while walking on the street. Since she was talking to a member of the organization, she couldn't just hail a taxi. She could only walk back slowly. Or she could just find a hotel to stay overnight. After all, people like her don't have a proper family. Vermouth thought to herself.

"..." Vermouth's eyes suddenly darkened. She was not sure what Finlandia meant by saying this. She knew that Finlandia must have an impression of Conan, but the way Finlandia asked this question... Could it be that he really wanted to bring Conan into the organization? Did he know Conan's true identity?

"So, in order for me to better observe Conan-kun, I would like to trouble Finlandia to suppress her curiosity for a while?"

"...Who doesn't like a smart kid?" Vermouth said meaningfully.

Vermouth is not easy to fool. If someone shows too much kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

After hanging up the phone, Vermouth breathed a long sigh of relief. She sat on a bench on the street and looked up at the sky.

Vermouth is really just making up excuses, right?

Seeing that Vermouth didn't say anything, Xian said with a somewhat regretful tone: "Conan is indeed very smart, but he doesn't seem to be the kind of kid I like. I didn't plan to let him do anything. He shouldn't know about the organization, right? Why did he follow you?" Xian didn't plan for Vermouth to reply to him, and continued to talk to himself, "You seem to be very interested in Conan, too. Do you want to introduce him to the organization? Anyway, I borrowed the name of Mr. this time... I feel a little guilty. Maori Kogoro is very close to the police. Should we cooperate?" Guilt? No, I don't feel guilty at all.

So the OL guy's life was saved, and his next actions would not be monitored by Gin. Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief, and just as they reached their destination, Vermouth got out of the car holding Conan.

Yes, that's right. Vermouth's thoughts gradually became clear. She didn't know the specific actions of Finlandia, after all, she was far away in the United States at that time, but the only thing she could be sure of was that when Finlandia moved to Beika Town, OL Guy had not become smaller, so the reason Finlandia said to Gin, such as approaching Conan because of the boss's order, was not valid.

Tsk, it really comes as soon as you say it. Vermouth curled her lips and answered the phone.

When did Finlandia move there? I don't seem to remember the exact time, but it should have been a few years ago. At that time... Shuichi Akai should not have been exposed, and even before that, there was a Japanese public security undercover who was not exposed. If it was at that time... ol guy had not become smaller! That's right, ol guy should not have become smaller at that time, and had no connection with the organization. Therefore, although I was a little wary, I didn't think much about it. After all, although Finlandia was dangerous, Vermouth believed that ol guy who knew nothing about the organization at that time would generally not have any doubts, and Finlandia was not someone who would take the initiative to expose anything.

"One is to lie for you and save Conan's life, one is not to bring Conan into the organization, and the other is..." Xian said with a smile, "to keep your feelings for Conan secret...I don't quite understand them."

"for example

After all, today's phone call will definitely make him realize her different attitude towards the OL guy. Although Finlandia finally helped her, the price... She doesn't think Finlandia is easy to fool.

“…Why are there three?!”

”

"Hello? Little Finlandia?

Even if Vermouth wasn't there, I would definitely save Conan's life, but since Vermouth took the initiative to ask, how could I not take advantage of her?

"...I told you not to add the word 'small' before the code name." Xian wiped his sweat helplessly on the other end of the phone.

Xian, who knew nothing, naturally didn't know that Amuro Toru was feeling extremely complicated at this moment.

I thought so too... Could it be that Vermouth has transformed into a substitute for my mouth?

"Oh - I think I understand. Conan is quite rebellious, but what attracts you is actually the environment in which Conan grew up?" Xian raised his eyebrows. "What a magical focus. For a moment, I almost thought you were an expert in studying children's growth."

Moreover, Finlandia also said that Conan is the child of Maori Kogoro's family. This concept is also very vague. It did not explicitly say that he is a child who is staying there on loan. And from the tone, it seems that Conan has always been in Maori Kogoro's family and has not just moved here recently.

Vermouth: ...!!! The two were silent for a long time, and Xian finally broke the deadlock with a smile: "Well... I'm curious too, so I won't tell anyone until I figure it out."

"...Ah, I hope so."

Is this what it looks like when someone catches you? Xian wondered in his heart.

This was a very normal task and there would be no problem at all if it was given to him to do. However, just as he completed the task and was about to retreat, he saw a man walking on the street.

Oops... the thing she least wanted to see happened. Rather than asking her to owe a favor, Finlandia's attention was more focused on the child and bringing the child into the organization. If it was Bourbon, he would probably be showing off that he had caught her and could ask her to do things in the future, right? Vermouth couldn't help but feel a sense of comparison.

No, it's a fair trade.

After Amuro Toru became a waiter at the Poirot Cafe, even though he had settled down in Japan, and even though Vermouth and the others had resumed their normal work, Rum did not let him return to the United States. It seemed that his ability had been recognized by Rum, and he was finally planning to keep him by his side as a confidant.

I see. Vermouth curled the corners of her lips and revealed a relieved smile.

“…Huh? She actually listened to me this time.” Xian was a little surprised. After all, Vermouth would never pay attention to his protests before.

[Host, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that you said this.]

Xian didn't want to say anything more to Xiao Si, he put down his phone and sighed.

He can only lie in the hospital now, with no intelligence channels, and can't get involved in the main plot. His only role now is to rescue Conan remotely. I haven't been to Morifushi Keiko for a long time. I don't know how Morifushi Keiko is doing, and I don't know if Haibara Ai has been found by Akai Shuichi, or if she has met Miyano Akemi...

"That's right! Smart kids are really lovable, but Conan-kun should be a little more obedient." Xian seemed to agree with Vermouth's statement very much, "What do you think, Vermouth?"

Finlandia is really perceptive. However, if Finlandia wants to explore that kind of feeling... Vermouth's mouth curled up slightly. Would people in the dark really have the opportunity to experience that kind of feeling? Finlandia might never be able to feel it in her life.

"What's the matter?" Xian raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to refute Vermouth, asking why she didn't understand why others asked him to save Conan's life, but now it seems that Vermouth has other plans.

[Although, it is still quite reasonable. 】

"Buzz." The cell phone rang.

【That’s the truth.】

In order to test him, Rum assigned him some tasks that would ultimately test him, one of which was to go to the location in the text message to steal intelligence.

Xian: ...? Vermouth, has the organization finally driven her crazy? Do you want to see what she is saying?

I mean, what kind of environment was this arrogant and self-righteous kid raised in?"

Alas, although I have done a lot, the Red Team is still isolated. The Red Team's lack of information exchange is really well-deserved. When will the Red Team know that the dead are not dead? Xian slowly wrapped himself in the quilt again, sighing in his heart. After all, some people's whitewashing points can only be obtained by the resurrection of special people.

Of course, Toru Amuro was very happy about this. He didn't mind having a higher position in the organization, as it would mean he could get access to more useful information and bring the organization down sooner.

I was almost fooled. You sounded quite convincing, Finlandia. Once that gentleman was involved, Gin would not act rashly. You really know Gin very well, Finlandia.

"...How could that be?" Vermouth denied it. She had to find a way to divert Finlandia's attention from Conan, or at least stop him from trying to get Conan into the organization. "I don't really know him, and I don't have any plans to get him into the organization." Vermouth stretched out his voice, "I'm just researching something recently."

"Hmm? Okay okay, Finlandia." Vermouth's tone was nonchalant, but she was thinking in her heart what Finlandia would say to her.

Sensing Xian's silence, Vermouth chuckled: "It's just what it says. After all, I haven't come into contact with any children before. Even if I have, they are all those brats from the organization. They are meaningless."

She knew Conan's situation more thoroughly, so she could see the loopholes in Finlandia's words, but Gin had never understood them...

She should have been in the United States at that time, so she received the news relatively late. Moreover, Beika Town is such an iconic place name, it is impossible for her not to pay attention to it and think about it. There must be something she missed.

"Okay then." The two were silent for a while before Xian agreed, "I won't interfere too much, but... remember to owe me three favors."

That man...

He was wearing a gray-blue coat with the hood on the back of the coat turned on his head. He had a mask on his face and was holding a large plastic bag in his hand. It seemed that he had just finished shopping and was preparing to go home.

Although many years had passed, so long that even Amuro Toru himself thought he had forgotten that person, but the moment he saw that person, his mind completely uncontrollably made the figure in his memory gradually clearer, and for a moment, he froze in place.
