Chapter 3412 3424 [Vodka's Full Moon Invitation]
Dr. Agasa was shocked: "You mean, this invitation..."
Conan nodded. "It must be this fellow codenamed 'Vermouth' who set up this Hongmen Feast specifically for me."
Dr. Agasa was stunned: "This is too sudden. Shouldn't we be in the dark and they are in the light? ...Why does this Vermouth look like she has seen through your identity?"
"Then I don't know." Conan smiled bitterly, "But, if I'm not mistaken..."
Dr. Agasa waited with bated breath for the next words, but nothing came for a long time. Meanwhile, Conan had already jumped to another topic: "Now that things have come to this, we can only follow this invitation and go aboard to take a look."
"Are you crazy?!" Huiyuan Ai was shocked. She never thought that Conan would make such a decision in the face of such a suspicious invitation letter. She didn't want anyone to be killed by the organization because of her. She said seriously, "This is a trap. If you go, there is no way you will come back alive!"
"Don't be too pessimistic." Conan looked at her. "Since we are all still alive, why would we die if we go on the ship? On the contrary, if we stay here and do nothing, then my investigation into that organization will never make any progress."
Haibara Ai wanted to say something, but Conan had already pulled Professor Agasa to another room.
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
After a brief silence... a mini scientist took out his cell phone.
——Although I feel that I can’t ask Jiang Xia about everything, it seems that I cannot help but ask about this matter that concerns life and death.
"If Jiang Xia thinks Kudo shouldn't go..." Huiyuan Ai pursed her lips and thought to herself, "Then I'll buy some sleeping pills, put them in the food, and let them sleep until the Halloween party is over."
"But this kind of thing, even if you can avoid it for a while, you might not be able to avoid it forever... Who sent this invitation?"
…
Another room.
It wasn't until Dr. Agasa was pulled here that he finally came to his senses.
Thinking of the conversation between the two fake kids just now, he looked worried: "Shinichi, are you really going? - Maybe that organization doesn't know your true identity at all, and they sent this invitation letter to you and Kogoro just to lure out the 'Kudo Shinichi' who doesn't know whether he exists or not.
"If you don't go this time, they'll think Kudo Shinichi is really dead and might just let this matter go!"
Conan shook his head helplessly: "If that were the case, it would be fine, but now... look."
He held the envelope in one hand and the invitation in the other:
"The recipient on both the envelope and the invitation is 'Kudo Shinichi', but the letterhead on this piece of paper says..."
[Dear Mr. Edogawa Conan]
"This..." Dr. Agasa realized it belatedly and was shocked. "Your identity has really been exposed?!"
"Yes, they not only know that I am Kudo Shinichi." Conan looked at the room where Haibara Ai was from a distance, "In addition, I am afraid they also know the true identity of 'Sherry'."
The two bombs exploded in succession, causing Dr. Agasa's ears to buzz and his mind to go blank.
After a while, he came to his senses and said bewilderedly, "But this isn't right! If that's the case, why don't they just come to our door and take us away directly?"
"Who knows?" Conan looked at the signature on the envelope, Vermouth, and whispered, "I do have a guess, but... cough, cough, cough..."
As he was speaking, his throat started to itch and he couldn't help coughing.
"Are you okay?" Dr. Agasa patted him quickly. "Did you get infected by Ai?... Alas, first it was Ai, then it was Jiang Xia. They just happened to be together, and now it's your turn. We've been really unlucky lately."
"It's okay, I probably just talked too much and didn't drink any water." Conan walked to the window, grabbed the water cup and took a few sips.
At this moment, his cell phone rang and suddenly a message came.
Conan perked up and opened his mailbox. Soon, the word [OK!] appeared on the screen.
"Hmm?" Dr. Agasa looked over in confusion, "Who is it?"
Conan laughed, then he raised a finger and made a silencing gesture to Professor Agasa.
Dr. Agasa: “……?”
…
With a buzzing sound.
On the other side, Jiang Xia's cell phone rang.
However, at this time, he was in the Mouri Detective Agency, having a good chat with Mouri Kogoro, and did not take it out to check.
The three of them didn't talk about anything else, just the invitation and the schedule for Halloween.
Maori Kogoro admired Miss Yoko's new CD for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him: "I have to dress up as a ghost to go on the ship, and I have to wear a suit and tuxedo...so why don't I dress up as a vampire? It would be a perfect match with the theme of Miss Yoko's CD!"
Mao Lilan imagined the elegant and mysterious vampires, then looked at her drunken father and fell silent for a moment. She shook her head and looked at Jiang Xia: "What are you going to dress up as? I have some makeup here, but they're pretty everyday. If you want to dress up as a ghost... there should be more props in the garden."
As she spoke, she called Suzuki Sonoko and talked about the props.
The bustling noise in the office soon reached Vermouth's ears through a hidden eavesdropping device.
Upon learning that Jiang Xia was going to board the boat, the Thousand-Faced Witch shook the wine glass in her hand, took a sip of wine, and smiled silently.
Jiang Xia was not surprised to learn about the Halloween invitation - given the child's control over his toys, it would be really unsettling if he acted like he knew nothing about it.
So although this invitation letter was only sent to Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa, it actually had three recipients.
And the ghost ship under the full moon is also the place she most wants Uzo to go.
After several attempts, Vermouth had already discovered that if she tried to transfer Uzo out of Tokyo, Uzo would most likely take Shirley away as well, leaving her with nowhere to go.
"So if we want to get that child to leave, we can only lure the tiger away from the mountain within the city of Tokyo.
“If it was just an ordinary place, Wu Zuo could always rush back by car, but it’s not so easy on the boat.
"Of course, I'll also set up his favorite stage on the boat. A playwright wouldn't want to leave immediately after seeing someone else's meticulously decorated stage."
An invitation that was too direct would only seem contrived. However, this invitation was just the right amount to pique Wu Zuo's interest.
"...But what if he doesn't get on board?"
Vermouth touched her chin and began to think.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered slightly: "In this case, let's add another hurdle - I have to find a way to get vodka or gin onto that ship."
