Chapter 120: Probing and Speculating



That guy... Vermouth returned to Shinchu Hospital, went into the bathroom, washed her hands, and then looked at her disguise in the mirror.

Finlandia must have known his identity... otherwise he would never have said that. But he didn't seem to be interfering with her activities, and even sent Shirley to her for treatment. What did Finlandia mean by that? Was he trying to show off to her? Telling her that Shirley would never be killed by her? Wouldn't that prove that he was a traitor? He didn't need to do that.

Is it possible that he is testing him again? Belmode took out her cell phone, a little hesitant.

After Xian said goodbye to Vermouth, he went straight back to his shop. Haibara Ai hasn't recovered yet, and there are many people around her, so it's not convenient to go find her directly.

If Conan knew that Dr. Shinde was Vermouth and English teacher Judy was the FBI, who knows what kind of trouble would be caused.

[But host, Judy should have a connection with Akai Shuichi, right? Aren't you afraid that Judy will report something about you today, and then Akai Shuichi will betray you? ]

That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, this was a private deal between him and me, so it's hard to bring it to the FBI. Besides, it wouldn't be good for Judy to know too much. Shuichi Akai probably wouldn't tell Judy everything about me.

The suddenly shortened distance made Gin feel a little uncomfortable. He leaned back slightly, but did not increase the distance. "It's just information. If she really found Shirley's whereabouts, she should report it in time and apply for encirclement and suppression instead of assassinating her alone."

[It's okay if you don't tell me, right? Anyway, Conan is here, so nothing will happen in the end. ]

And Finlandia... Thinking of Finlandia, Gin felt a little complicated. In his memory, he and Finlandia should have had a very good relationship. If he really recovered his memory... then what would happen? How could he let him know that he had also recovered his memory? How could he recognize her? What would happen after they recognized each other?

[If the host intervenes, maybe Conan and Akai Shuichi can come into contact earlier! After all, these two are the only ones left in the red team who have not come into contact, right? ]

[Host, I also feel that Gin is acting strange recently. He would never tell you these nonsense before.]

"By the way, Xiu, do you know the owner of the bookstore near Conan's house? A case happened today and Dr. Agasa's car was stuck on the road. It was the owner of the bookstore who sent the child to the hospital." Judy recalled the gentle boss and always felt that he was not as simple as he seemed.

"Normal. She won't act so quickly, and there are other people in the hospital." Akai Shuichi was not surprised by this. After all, as a member of the organization, Vermouth was also very cautious.

Should I pay attention to Vermouth recently... But that woman can change her appearance, so I can't find her at all.

"...Bookstore owner? Hmm..." Akai Shuichi was stunned. He had never heard of any bookstore owner who was close to Haibara Ai... Wait, could it be that person? "By the way, he said his name was Hinamori Shian. I always feel that he is not simple. Do you need me to investigate?" Judy added.

"...Why haven't I seen Vermouth recently?" In the bar, Xian was shaking a glass of coconut milk as if it were wine, pretending to be nonchalant and asking.

"She knows where Shirley is? And then she goes after her?" Xian approached Gin with interest and asked.

[It’s a pity to think about it… In the original work, Akai Shuichi was also there on the day of the operation, right? It’s a pity that he missed Conan. ]

But Finlandia was the first to notice something that other members of the organization had not noticed? Gin's eyes moved slightly, full of thought.

[It makes sense, right? So, host, try your best? ]

Hmm? Akai Shuichi? I think so.

"Why, do you miss her?" An emotionless voice sounded from the side. Xian was stunned for a moment before he realized that Gin was talking about Vermouth.

Vermouth would only label himself as a traitor to the organization, and then try to find an opportunity to kill him, and kill Shirley at the same time. Moreover, Vermouth's intelligence gathering skills were first-rate, and if he was really targeted by her, the things he had done would probably be discovered, not to mention Miyano Akemi, just Jingguang, it would be enough for him to die.

[The time for studying science is quite chaotic, so I count according to the normal time. 】

"Oh...him." It was Finlandia. Akai Shuichi understood. He didn't plan to tell Judy too much. He just said, "No, I know him. He won't be a threat to the child. You don't have to worry about him. Of course, don't reveal your identity." Finlandia shouldn't mind that she has to arrest Vermouth, right? "Of course, I know, Xiu." Judy replied. It seems that the bookstore owner is not a threat.

[Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, host. If I have the ability now, I can help you check whether [Child Taming Tacit Understanding] has been re-lit! QAQ]

Xian took another sip of coconut milk, then glanced at Gin furtively, his eyes rolling.

[If the host doesn't intervene, this kind of thing will theoretically happen. ]

Yes, if I asked him questions like why I haven’t seen Vermouth recently, he would just answer that it has nothing to do with you, right?

"Hmph..." Gin sneered, his voice turning cold, "That depends on whether her private actions are successful or not."

Could it be possible that he could still leave the organization? Thinking of this, Gin's heart was in a mess. If Finlandia really recovered his previous memories, could it be that he just regarded him as a partner who could be completely trusted with his life during missions? Or... could he definitely leave the organization as Xian promised in his memory.

Is it strange... Of course it is strange. After all, he is no longer the Gin who worked diligently for the organization, at least not completely.

Gin frowned and thought, forget it. Paying too much attention would only alert the enemy. It would be better to wait for the woman to come out herself and then investigate slowly.

Gin was right. The gentleman always valued the results. If Vermouth's private action was successful, she would be praised by the gentleman, but if it failed, she would only be punished, and she would be accused of private action, and the punishment might even be doubled.

So how long will it take to be unblocked? [According to normal time, it will take about one and a half months, right? ]

"..." Gin's green eyes darkened, "What do you want to say?"

"Hello? Judy, anything new?"

[Yes! But he actually replied to you seriously! He even said something teasing at the end! ]

"Nothing—" Xian retracted his gaze, sat back down, yawned, and drank all the coconut milk in the cup, "I just feel that you seem to be much more pleasing to the eye recently... I have a strange feeling." Xian put the cup on the bar, then stood up and left muttering, "What's strange about it..."

If that's the case...why don't I just do nothing? Anyway, with Conan around, Vermouth's plan won't succeed.

That’s great, but a month and a half can change a lot of things… although it doesn’t seem to change anything about Gin.

Speaking of Vermouth's whitewashing... Although she is half black and half red, how can I make her think that I am also half black and half red! If I use Haibara Ai, I always feel that she will directly regard me as a traitor to the organization!

So the same events as the original will happen, Conan disguises himself as Haibara Ai and then fights wits and courage with Vermouth...

Besides, Vermouth is not a good person either. If she directly tells him that she knows how important Conan is to her, he will definitely become her target... Shirley cannot solve the problem permanently.

"She has always been like this." Xian saw that Gin did not dislike his approach, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. "Logically speaking, we can't control her. If she really killed Shirley by herself, the credit would be attributed to her alone, and then she would be praised by the master. Who cares whether she acted privately or not."

"Hey... you're worthy of it." Xian curled his eyes, sat up straight, and took a sip of coconut milk.

What is normal time?

It seems so.

"...No, who would want to think about that woman for no reason." Xian shrugged, a smile on his face, "It's just... I saw something interesting recently."

Anyway, if I don't interfere, Vermouth will do what the original book says, right? Conan will help, so I don't have to interfere.

Let Conan and Akai Shuichi come into contact... It makes sense. First of all, Akai Shuichi should know that Conan is different.

"Who knows what she's doing." The silver-haired man beside him sneered, "Last time she said she was going to find out about Shirley." "Huh? Shirley?" Xian blinked and looked at Gin in surprise. It wasn't because he suddenly found out about the traitor in the organization, but... Gin actually knew that Vermouth was going to kill Shirley? So Vermouth didn't act on her own this time? Did she report this to Gin?! Xian was shocked.

In short, exchanging weaknesses with each other is not a long-term solution, and rashly interfering in Vermouth's actions is not a good idea either.

I'll try my best. Actually, I had no intention of intervening in this incident, so... I'll just have to rely on my luck.

The main plot is now a mess, but you can still vaguely see the original shape. For example, Amuro Toru is still working as a waiter at the Poirot Cafe, and he also became a disciple of Maori Kogoro. There is also Haibara Ai who was picked up by Professor Agasa after she became smaller, including the exposure of Morobushi Keimitsu and Akai Shuichi. In other words, some key nodes are still there, but the order has changed... The degree may have changed more or less.

Eh? Xian was suddenly stunned, and felt that what Xiao Si said seemed to make sense.

"Gin..." Xian approached Gin again. This time, he looked at Gin's profile with his face tilted sideways. When Gin looked over, he looked at him with a probing look. "I feel like your behavior has been weird lately."

It should be said that he is worthy of being that gentleman. Xian's eyes darkened. To snatch someone from such a person, and to get rid of him... It's really a bit tricky.

Teasing...well, it can barely be considered a teasing, so that's why it feels wrong!

He just said that he had discovered some interesting things recently. Could it be related to his past memories? But why did he bring Vermouth into this? Could it be that Vermouth was the one responsible for erasing memories and brainwashing? I've never heard of her being able to do this...

However, I still have to find an opportunity to visit Haibara Ai and tell her the identities of those two people.

After hanging up the phone, Judy looked out the window. In short... what followed was another long period of lurking and investigating.

"No, the child had a fever today and was sent to the target hospital, but everything was normal and nothing happened." In the evening, Judy thought about what happened today and decided to report to Shuichi Akai.

The idea is to find a way to lure Conan away, and then make an appointment with Haibara Ai to kill her alone. Although Haibara Ai's personality is different now, but facing Vermouth who comes to her, she will definitely follow her!

Gin lowered his eyes, looked at the little wine left in the glass, shook it casually, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Shuichi Akai was also there at the time, and he crippled the sniper that Vermouth had secretly called in.

His injury is almost healed, and it feels like he will be fully recovered in a few days. Then he will have no problem playing on the red team again.

Was it just a hunch, or was it…that Finlandia’s memory was also beginning to loosen?

Gin turned his green eyes slightly and said nothing.

Now Vermouth has disguised herself as Tomoaki Aida, which can be regarded as one of the main plotlines. Although some things have changed with her own addition, Vermouth's murderous intention towards Haibara Ai is definitely unchanged, so she is very likely to use the same method to kill Haibara Ai as in the original work!

Gin didn't say anything, just sipped his wine gently and let Xian leave.

Really, what on earth am I thinking about?

The unrealistic idea of ​​leaving the organization is indeed not suitable for me to fantasize about.

Still have to wait for him...

Gin stood up, straightened his black coat, and walked out of the bar.
