Chapter 330: Vermouth and Uzo's Compatibility
If you think about it carefully, Jiang Xia was just a peripheral member at that time, and he didn't have many opportunities to contact and influence Gin. Moreover, someone as suspicious as Gin would have been difficult to be induced by others.
On the contrary, Cool Guy has a strong sense of justice and excessive curiosity. He would track down a suspicious-looking man in black like Gin, and then be knocked unconscious and drugged by Gin. There is actually nothing wrong with the logic, and it even makes people feel very reasonable...
...No, the past is past, what’s important is the present - Vermouth pinched her temples, barely suppressing her uncontrollable and scattered thoughts, and brought her thoughts back to the topic.
——In any case, letting Usa continue to appear next to Mao Lilan would be like mixing milk and ink, which would be difficult for her to accept.
And Vermouth knows the truth about APTX4869. She knows that although there is little hope, her cool guy may still be alive, but he will become a different person.
Usa had some contact with the Kudo family when he was a child, and he must have seen what Kudo Shinichi looked like when he was a child. This is very dangerous.
…
After some consideration, Vermouth finally consolidated her murderous intent which had been wavering for some reason.
——Uzo is an absolute threat to her angel and cool guy.
It must be eradicated...as much as possible...as possible.
…
After Gin sent the email, he glanced at Vermouth who was distracted in the rearview mirror and said, "Why do you just announce your retirement? This is not a suitable time. It will only make those FBI hyenas more suspicious of you and even lead them here."
Vermouth came back to her senses, lazily lit a long lady's cigarette, took a puff, and then said through the smoke: "They know me much more than we think. I am even prepared to never come back after retiring from the screen this time."
Gin understood the meaning of her words, and his aura turned cold: "Besides Akai Shuichi who escaped in a panic that year, did the FBI send out other rats?"
Shuichi Akai and Vermouth didn't have much contact, but Vermouth suddenly said something like this... If she wasn't making an excuse, it meant that the FBI had other sources of intelligence.
"I can't answer this question. Catching mice is your job." Vermouth's eyes moved slightly, with a hint of personal opinion, "But I think that compared to those guys who hide well, we now have a clearer target - how long do you plan to let Shirley relax outside?"
Although Vermouth hates the Miyano couple and Shirley, there was a period in the past when she had to frequently go in and out of the organization's research institute.
Although it was hard to say whether the information she leaked was leaked by the undercover or Shirley's fault, compared to those unknown undercovers, Vermouth would certainly prefer to put the blame on Shirley and kill her as soon as possible.
Jiang Xia smelled the gradually stronger apple scent in the car and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Vermouth.
Shirley is really a perfect catalyst for her. The murderous aura in Vermouth has almost reached the level when Jiang Xia first saw her a few minutes ago.
——Just now, Vermouth was determined to kill him, and the murderous aura around her was pure and clear.
But later, as Jiang Xia sat next to her for longer periods of time, Vermouth's murderous aura became less and less...but now, for some unknown reason, it has returned again.
Vermouth felt Jiang Xia's gaze, glanced at him sideways, then turned around and blew a puff of smoke at him.
She thought of her confused and tangled thoughts just now, stopped talking, and looked out the window with little interest.
There was silence in the car for a moment.
Gin concentrated on the issues of Mouse and Shirley for a while, adjusted his schedule, and then refocused on today's affairs.
He glanced in the rearview mirror at the atmosphere in the back row.
Originally, today, he wanted to hand Uzo over to Vermouth and let her deal with Uzo's psychological problems which were not serious but might indeed be a hindrance at certain times.
But now, Gin felt that this was not cautious enough - for some reason, Vermouth seemed to dislike Jiang Xia.
Even he could see the vague disgust and malice in such a short time, let alone Uzo who could easily manipulate the psychologist... Gin was worried that if these two people were really allowed to stay together, if Uzo's patience ran out one day, there might be reports in the newspapers like "Famous international movie star was murdered and died in a foreign country."
On the other hand, Vermouth is not a pushover either. The death rate of her teammates is always high, and her temporary partners are also not immune to the fate of being damaged, which is in stark contrast to Gin, who has only used vodka for many years. If Vermouth was not so capable and was deeply trusted by the boss, she would have been held accountable for this.
Before, I only thought that Vermouth had profound medical attainments and was relatively loyal to the organization, but now...is it really a suitable option to hand Uzo over to her?
Gin unconsciously played with the cigarette case in his hand, lost in thought.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, before this, Vermouth's attitude was very normal. She was even quite curious about the new member Uzo and was quite enthusiastic.
Later, when he heard about Uzo's identity as a "famous detective" and learned his true identity, he began to feel disgusted.
Did Uzo do something, or does Vermouth simply hate detectives? ...Oh, Shirley!
Gin suddenly remembered something Vermouth had just said, and his mind suddenly became clear.
——Vermouth has never concealed her dislike for Shirley, and when Shirley was still in the organization, especially the year before she defected, she never concealed her care for Jiang Xia.
If this is the case, Vermouth's current mood is not completely without reason. And her words just now urging to find Shirley seem to be a clear indication of this reason.
Thinking of this, Gin withdrew his gaze from the back row with an expressionless face.
The internal struggles are complicated and meaningless. If this woman has time to vent her anger, why doesn't she put her energy into work?
…
The black Porsche drove back from Yamadaira-cho to the bustling downtown and stopped downstairs of the Haido Building, one of Gin's frequented places.
Vermouth had been here before.
She gave herself a simple make-up and got out of the car.
I originally thought I was going to the bar on the second floor below ground, but when I got into the elevator, I found that Gin pressed the up elevator button.
Vermouth was startled.
The bar moved?
…
Three minutes later, Vermouth was sitting in an exquisitely decorated sushi restaurant, looking at the expensive food and drinks on the menu. She then glanced at Jiang Xia who was sitting next to her and vaguely understood something.
The organization has some stake in the stores used as bases.
Apart from providing certain conveniences to members, these stores are no different from regular stores in other aspects. In fact, they have stricter rules because they have backers. Some bars will turn a blind eye to minors of similar age, but the stores of the organization often dare to check the IDs of all kinds of people.
Since the identities of the organization members need to be kept secret and the staff in the store are constantly changing, it is impossible to reveal the identities of the organization members to all the staff who may be on duty just to go in and have a drink.
So even they have to follow the rules when they come to these shops to avoid trouble - such as changing the meeting place with Uzo to a place other than a bar.
Vermouth snorted barely audibly. What a pity. She had originally planned to get Uzo drunk, get some interesting information out of him, and then kill him at the same time, but now...
Let's wait until Gin and the others leave this funny sushi restaurant and then find another opportunity.
