Chapter 3464 3476 [Who is Wu Zuo? ] Ask for monthly votes ヽ(〃〃)~
"Bourbon..."
Vermouth suddenly regretted finding this scapegoat. She should have used Calvados earlier! At least he was obedient enough not to withhold such important information from her.
in addition……
Vermouth looked at Bourbon suspiciously. The more she looked, the more she felt that there was something wrong with him. "When did you learn how to change your voice?"
When asking Toru Amuro to replace "Dr. Shinde", Vermouth envisioned having this guy stay at home and pretend to have a cold - although Bourbon probably doesn't know how to change his voice professionally, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to pretend to have a voice so hoarse that it's hard to tell his real voice.
But after a while, Vermouth discovered that Bourbon was much more capable than she had imagined, and could actually imitate Dr. Arata's voice.
She once asked about it in confusion, but Bourbon just smiled and told her "It's a secret."
Vermouth recalled this scene and her fists clenched: “…”Damn Riddler!
"At the time, I thought it was normal for Bourbon, a guy who joined the organization midway through, to have climbed to his current position in just a few years, to have some unique methods, so I didn't ask any further questions. But now I think about it...is this Bourbon's own ability, or is it something Uzo temporarily helped him improve for stage effect?"
…
A few minutes ago, on the other side.
Haibara Ai got the recording and jogged back the same way.
As soon as she arrived at a place with signal, her phone suddenly vibrated and she received a message.
"Hmm?" After sending the recording to Jiang Xia, Haibara Ai exited the inbox and opened the email.
The next moment, a "Haibara Ai" lying beside the car with her eyes closed came into her sight.
Huiyuan Ai: “……?”
When was this photo taken? How come she has no recollection of it?
Glancing at the time on the lower left corner of the photo, Huibara Ai became even more confused: A few minutes ago... wasn't she in the basement, chatting with the captured Judy?
"Is it only my soul that has come here, and I myself have died on the roadside?"
All the strange movies she had seen during this period flooded into her mind, but were quickly dismissed by Ai Haibara by shaking her head - as a rational scientist, she could distinguish the boundary between fantasy and reality.
After a brief moment of confusion, Haibara Ai remembered something, exited the enlarged picture, and looked at the text sent along with the picture.
[A brave knight appeared before me in your place.
Is the cowardly princess going to watch him die, or be brave and bear your own destiny?
—Vermouth]
There is also an address attached.
"..." When she saw the signature "Vermouth", Haibara Ai's head buzzed. When she came to her senses, she had already pressed the forward button and instinctively sent the email to Jiang Xia.
After completing this action, Haibara Ai gradually regained her composure: "Knight? Replace me?"
Under normal circumstances, she might not understand the message in front of her. But considering the signature "Vermouth", Haibara Ai immediately thought of the disguise technique that could change into the appearance of other people.
"This 'me' in the photo..." Haibara Ai's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be Kudo?!"
There are limits to disguise. I heard that even Kaito Kidd couldn't completely erase his height and disguise himself as a child.
In other words, in terms of physique and thinking, it seems that there is only one person who can replace her.
"Kudo actually..." When she thought of another shrunk brother falling into the hands of the organization, Haibara Ai's face turned pale:
“Why would he walk into a trap? Or did Kudo realize that Vermouth was planning to target me, so he disguised himself as me so that Vermouth could catch the wrong person? …But what’s the point! Could this guy have thought that Vermouth would just let him go once she realized she had made a mistake?”
This was too naive. Based on her experience, that evil woman would only kill the wrong person along with him!
However, things have already happened, and it is too late to analyze Kudo's mental journey. What we should think about now is what to do next.
Haibara Ai subconsciously glanced at her phone. At that moment, as if sensing her gaze, the phone buzzed with a message.
It was a reply from Jiang Xia. Huiyuan Ai's eyes narrowed slightly, and she held her breath as she opened it. She saw only a short line of words written on it:
[Start your own adventure.]
"My adventure..." Haibara Ai looked at this sentence silently. The situation was so tense, but for some reason, she had the illusion that she was playing a game.
Soon, Haibara Ai shook her head and put this strange feeling aside.
"Jiang Xia sometimes speaks in a rather literary way. I don't know where he learned that from... But if you look beyond the surface and analyze the meaning of the words, what he means is, I should handle this matter myself?"
Haibara Ai's heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, began to speed up again. However, after a brief panic, she gritted her teeth and her eyes quickly became firm again.
——She was an adult, she couldn't just hide behind others and wait for Jiang Xia to give her advice. And if she were to handle today's matter...
Haibara Ai ran out of the factory, panting, looked to the side of the road, and jumped into a taxi.
——On normal days, you'd never get a taxi in such a remote place. But today, because of the kidnapping, many people were there to work or just to watch.
Ai Haibara got into the car smoothly, read the address sent to her by Vermouth to the driver, and then closed the car door.
It was obvious that Vermouth had ulterior motives in asking her to come over.
But sometimes, even though you know there is a trap ahead, you have no choice but to jump into it. Although she has no idea what Kudo is doing, one thing is clear: this reckless detective is obviously trying to save her. Just based on this, she cannot turn a deaf ear and hide in a safe place, letting others die for her.
"I think I heard Gin scold her before—Although Vermouth is scary, she is different from other cadres. Sometimes she will do some inexplicable things, such as letting go of those who should have been silenced."
"Simply put, she's not that bloodthirsty. And judging by the photo, Conan has already fainted... So, if I, her real target, suddenly appear in front of her, she might be in a better mood and let Conan go?"
Even if I failed, it would only mean she would die. Since there was hope, I had to give it a try.
The only variable is...
"From what Judy-sensei said, it seems there's a leader named Uzo behind Vermouth. If Uzo isn't willing to let Kudo go..."
Thinking of this, Huiyuan Ai's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Uzo, when I was in the organization, I seemed to have never heard of this code name... What kind of person is he?"
