Chapter 3471 3483 [Taking Advantage of Sherry]
clang--!
Bang!
Vermouth successfully pulled the trigger, but failed to hit the target - the moment before she fired, the bullet rushed out from the muzzle of Akai Shuichi's gun, knocking her pistol away with a bang.
Vermouth fell to the ground and finally showed a trace of despair, but at this moment, she saw another figure standing up behind Akai Shuichi - "Doctor Shinide" silently raised his fist, with a sharp punch, and punched Akai Shuichi on the back of the neck.
Akai Shuichi sensed something was wrong and jerked sideways, barely missing his cheek. He turned back in surprise, only to be met with another heavy fist.
"You're not the sniper?" Akai Shuichi dodged narrowly and frowned.
He was a little surprised that "Dr. Shindo" was actually pretending to be unconscious - in his impression, Vermouth's confidants, or her bootlickers, should not watch their goddess in danger and pretend to be asleep.
Besides, even through the bulletproof vest, being hit by a sniper rifle at that distance would not normally be able to recover so quickly. So his thoughts were more focused on Vermouth. But who knew... this "New Doctor" actually stood up again.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but this momentum of beating people... looks a little familiar?
Under Shuichi Akai's scrutiny, "Doctor Shinde" snorted coldly, flexed his fists, and seemed to have no intention of talking to him.
——It was a rare opportunity just now, and Toru Amuro really wanted to shoot both of them with one shot, to pierce both Akai Shuichi and Vermouth at the same time. However, this damn FBI had rich experience in body searches, and just now, in addition to the gun in his hand, they actually took away another gun he had hidden.
Since that was the case, he could only get close now and let him take a beating. Otherwise, if the distance widened, the one without a gun would be in a very passive position.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Amuro Toru didn't hesitate. While Akai Shuichi was still thinking, he stepped forward and punched him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and Akai Shuichi fired two shots, but he did not hit the "Dr. Akai" in front of him, but hit Vermouth's leg and one arm. Then he put away the gun and punched him.
The two clashed, leaving a streak of blood on Akai Shuichi's face. His fist also slashed across the opponent's face, tearing the disguise and revealing a dark brown patch.
"It's you." Although he didn't see the whole picture, just based on this one flaw, Shuichi Akai completely verified his guess and recognized the guy who suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation.
…
The two men started fighting on the beach.
Beside her, Vermouth endured the severe pain in her arms and legs, and suddenly remembered something: After Akai Shuichi was ambushed by Bourbon, he once asked in surprise - "You are not the sniper?"
"Just now, Shuichi Akai was certain that the sniper wouldn't help me, which means he probably dealt with the Calvados before he showed up... But if that's the case, why did he still think 'Dr. Shinde' was Calvados?"
If Shuichi Akai didn't suffer from face blindness or amnesia, it would mean one thing - the sniper who was lying in ambush above was not the Calvados she imagined!
"...Uzo replaced my chosen sniper!"
Vermouth gritted her teeth and felt the wounds all over her body become more painful. But when she thought about it calmly, she felt that she should have guessed this kind of thing long ago.
“The sniper holds the power of life and death over the entire scene. Such an important role... How could Uzo let me choose the actor?
"Also, Calvados, who was supposed to be the sniper, wasn't on top of the container. When Akai Shuichi noticed this, he must have thought there was another roaming pawn nearby... No wonder he's so alert and we haven't been able to successfully sneak up on him.
"...Wait, so Uzo is plotting against Bourbon and me?! He doesn't just want to capture Akai Shuichi, he wants us to die together, all three of us injured, so he can pick up the spoils!"
This young colleague had a rather large appetite. But considering that he always had to gather three suspects for each case, Vermouth could only regret not having thought of this beforehand.
Now that she suddenly realized this possibility, she thought she should be furious. However, after a while of turmoil in her heart, she ultimately felt only a deep sense of powerlessness.
——In just one night, how many times had she been tricked by that child?
...It seems like I can’t count them anymore.
She was shocked and angry when she was cheated for the first time, and annoyed when she was cheated again and again... She no longer had the energy to care.
Even if I did care, what would it matter? I couldn't beat him, and I couldn't catch him. In the end, I could only continue to perform on stage while feeling angry.
"But I can't just accept my fate." Vermouth clenched her fist, using the pain in her arm to stimulate herself. She glanced at the two men fighting fiercely, quietly propped herself up, and moved to the side.
Next to her, Haibara Ai's brain was stagnant due to the smell of the organization, and she was finding it difficult to understand this sudden and unexpected change.
It wasn't until Shuichi Akai and Bourbon started fighting that she gradually came back to her senses from this relatively peaceful incident and tried to understand the current situation.
"What are all these people doing here? The 'Judy' on the ground is really Vermouth, so who is underneath Dr. Shinde?
"What am I doing here? Why am I here? What should I do now?"
A huge amount of question marks surged up, causing Ai Haibara to even have a headache.
However, she was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of things, and she did not have the detective's nature of loving to solve mysteries - since there were too many mysteries, she would stop thinking about them and do what she could first.
Thinking of this, Haibara Ai reached out and grabbed Conan, wanting to continue her previous moving operation and take this fellow in distress away from the scene.
However, at this moment, a shadow was cast in front of him.
"Hmm?" Haibara Ai looked up in confusion, and the next moment, her eyes suddenly stopped - Vermouth!
The woman who had been shot several times didn't lie dead on the spot. She moved over tenaciously, pulled out a short pistol from her shoe, and said to Huiyuan Ai, "Put him in that car, and you get in too, now!"
She was referring to the car in Bourbon.
After all, the area next to the car she drove had become a battlefield between Bourbon and Akai Shuichi, and Seagulls would get punched if they passed by. So Vermouth simply threw away the car she inherited from Judy and turned her attention to Bourbon's car.
——Just when they got out of the car just now, she and Bourbon had both left the engine running and the keys still in the car. Now they could just get in and drive away, which was very convenient.
