Chapter 3459 3471 [Vermouth's True Body] Ask for a monthly ticket ()
Judy nodded: "That time, Vermouth killed my father.
"I was very young at the time and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because I was anxious. I saw the light on in the living room and went over there.
"But when I opened the door, I saw my father slumped in front of the sofa, and next to him, squatted a woman in an FBI uniform.
“That person is Vermouth.
"When I heard the door open, she came over to talk to me very gently. I found that she was holding my father's glasses. She smiled, returned the glasses to me, and then asked me to stay with my father until he woke up.
"After that, she set fire to our villa and left. Later I learned that my father had collected a lot of information about that organization. So Vermouth disguised herself as an FBI agent, killed my father, and then burned all the information in the house.
"She probably wanted to burn me and my mother to death as well. But unfortunately, my father didn't stay with her for long before he remembered that he always loved to drink juice before bed. Since we were out of juice at home, I ran out and went to a nearby convenience store, and who knew that I had just escaped.
"Overnight, my home burned down, and my father and mother were reduced to two pieces of wreckage in the fire. Later, my father's friend took me in and hid my identity through the witness protection system.
"When I grew up, I joined the FBI and inherited my father's wishes. I began to continue investigating that organization, especially that woman."
When Haibara Ai heard this, she clenched her hands silently. When she looked at Judy again, there was a bit more sympathy in her eyes.
Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "You have been in Tokyo for so long, you should have found Vermouth's trace."
Judy nodded: "Chris Wynyard once went to Dr. Xinchu's clinic for treatment. She is an international movie star. If she really wanted to see a doctor, why would she go to such an unknown small clinic?
“So after discovering this anomaly, we speculated that Vermouth had set his sights on Dr. Shinde’s identity and wanted to make the real Dr. Shinde disappear so that she could disguise herself as him.
"So before she could act, our FBI secretly contacted Dr. Shinde and fabricated the illusion that his entire family had been killed.
"In front of Vermouth, we caused the car carrying Dr. Akai's family to have an accident, crash through the guardrail, and sink into the sea with both the people and the car.
"Of course, the people in that car weren't actually Dr. Shinde and his family, but some of my colleagues who had changed into diving gear. We were protecting the real Dr. Shinde and his family.
"Vermouth didn't know this. She thought the Shinde family was dead, so she took advantage of the situation and disguised herself as Dr. Shinde, checked into Shinde's clinic, and began her actions."
When Huiyuan Ai heard this, her hair stood on end. She couldn't help but ask, "What action?"
Judy was silent for a moment, then said, "In one of the rooms of the new clinic, there's a dartboard hanging with some photos on it.
"One of the photos shows a mixed-race female researcher who looks to be around 20 years old. A large black cross is punched into her face, with a dart stuck in the middle. Although we don't have any evidence yet, we suspect Vermouth wants to find this woman and kill her."
"!" Haibara Ai felt a chill on her back.
She subconsciously glanced down at herself and quickly assessed: she had dyed her hair black today, wore a hood and a mask, the light here was dim, she was backlit, and with the truth serum... In a trance, Judy should not be able to recognize her or remember her.
This made Huiyuan Ai feel somewhat safer, but at this moment, Judy continued unaware, "Also, we discovered that Vermouth secretly photographed another mixed-race female student. That girl looks very similar to the mixed-race female researcher.
"Combined with other circumstances, we have a hypothesis - the child named Huiyuan might be the female researcher in the photo."
Huiyuan Ai: “!!”
Fortunately, Judy's next words expressed the FBI's current position: "We plan to find Vermouth after we capture her to confirm whether this suspicion is true. If the child is really targeted, we will help her apply for witness protection to prevent her from falling prey to the organization's murderous hands."
Huiyuan Ai: “…”
Judy: "Also, next to the photo of the female researcher, there are photos of Mao Lilan and Edogawa Conan. Their photos are not marked with an X, but there are a few words written on them respectively - 'Angel' and 'Cool guy'."
At this point, even though she was confused, Judy's voice revealed some doubts: "'Guy' is usually used to refer to young men, but Conan is so young, he should be called 'kid'. Vermouth should not be able to tell the difference..."
Haibara Ai didn't want to talk about this kind of thing where adults became smaller. She changed the subject: "Let's talk about Vermouth. You just said that you noticed the abnormality because Chrissie Wynyard had been to Dr. Shinde's clinic for treatment... How did you know that Chrissie Wynyard was Vermouth?"
During the days Judy had been missing, she had been forced to answer whatever was asked. If it was Vermouth who was asking the questions, she might have fought back with all her might, but now the topic seemed to be heading towards betraying Vermouth.
So the FBI knows everything:
"I first noticed something was wrong with Vermouth because of what she said at her mother's funeral - 'A secret makes a woman woman'.
"These are the words she said to me the night she killed my parents.
“When I came across the news, I was overjoyed and managed to get Chris Wynyard’s fingerprints from the funeral venue.
"Twenty years ago, when my father was murdered, his glasses fell off unnaturally. To make it look like he had committed suicide by gunshot, Vermouth picked up the glasses and was about to replace them. And just then, I came into the living room.
"When the woman saw me, she probably had a new idea, so she handed me the glasses. Later, I unexpectedly survived, and the glasses also survived the fire and were not burned.
"Its lens had Vermouth's fingerprint on it. I compared it with the fingerprints at the funeral venue, and they matched.
"So, the person who murdered my parents 20 years ago was actually Chrissie Wynyard, the famous international movie star."
Judy: “But that doesn’t make sense – Chrissie Wynyard was too young to be a suspect in murder and arson 20 years ago.
"So after thinking about those two fingerprints for a long time, I made an attempt. I found the fingerprints of Chrissie Wynyard's mother, Sharon Wynyard."
