Stay away from Conan.

For Vodka, the whole incident was so strange that he couldn't figure out why it happened until he was caught.

After all, who would have thought he would be alone on this ghost ship?

Except for Brother Gin who arranged to come here.

but……

  There's no reason for Big Brother to betray himself, right?

But apart from my eldest brother, no one else knows that I’m here, right?

So, for Vodka, the development of this situation was completely confusing, but at the same time, the group of FBI agents who arrested him were also confused about what happened.

For them, they received a temporary mission assigned by Shuichi Akai, and they dressed up as monsters to attend the party on the ghost ship in order to arrest Vodka, an important member of the organization.

However, for those participating in the operation, how exactly the capture would be carried out was completely unknown, as they only had a few hours to prepare from the time they received the mission to the time they set out.

Moreover, Shuichi Akai was supposed to lead the team on board to deploy the operation, but at the last moment before departure, Shuichi Akai said that he had something else to do and asked the assembled team members to board the ship to find Vodka and then arrest him.

As for the specific details, the FBI agents only knew that when the time was right, there would be a chance to capture the suspect.

Such a mission completely confused the agents involved in the operation.

As a result, when the operation really came, on the deck of the ghost ship, everyone heard someone shouting "Vodka is here", and then a "headless horseman" appeared and knocked the gun out of the hand of a "zombie" who was about to draw his gun, and then the "headless horseman" subdued the "zombie" to the ground.

As a result, due to the shout just now and the current situation, the agents lurking in the crowd at the time already knew the target of this operation, so they immediately reacted that the "zombie" was most likely the target Vodka. As for the "headless knight", he was an agent acting together.

So, regardless of how the agent discovered the trace of vodka, since the target had been found, under the circumstances at the time, the other agents present would naturally step forward to arrest the other party.

Moreover, after arresting the "zombie", removing his disguise, and confirming that he was Vodka, the remaining thing was naturally to take him away, use the speedboat that had been arranged to go out to sea with the ghost ship, move Vodka to a place with fewer people, and then evacuate with Vodka to the speedboat and leave -

  In this way, it would be a natural thing to do to take the person away before most people could react while taking advantage of the already chaotic party scene. In addition, this was a cross-dressing party and no one knew each other. It would be impossible for the Japanese police to track the FBI's actions afterwards, and it was impossible for the organization to call the police and say "the vodka is missing, right?"

Therefore, this operation can be said to be successful.

However, it was too smooth. After taking Vodka on the speedboat and leaving, the agents reviewed the whole incident and unexpectedly discovered an inexplicable fact -

  Who was the "Headless Horseman" who first discovered the trace of vodka and took the first action?

They originally thought he was one of the agents in this operation, but now looking back, the agents realized that from the beginning to the end, no one in this operation was dressed as the "Headless Horseman"!

  So who exactly is this "Headless Horseman"?

Therefore, although the operation was very smooth, this doubt always became a haze lingering over the heads of the agents involved in the operation.

Perhaps, all this will have to wait until we return and have Shuichi Akai answer it.

……

At the same time, as this happened on the ghost ship, at the dock of Beihua Port, Conan revealed his true identity and walked out of Judy's car -

Watching this scene, Vermouth didn't know how to react for a moment. She just watched Conan open the sight of the watch-shaped anesthetic gun he was wearing, aim it at herself, and then stand in front of Judy.

"Stop, don't move! Your body has turned us into a blind spot for the sniper!"

With a serious face, Conan threatened Vermouth.

At the same time, Vermouth could not help but realize that she was now leaning against the pile of containers behind her, and Calvados, who was in charge of the sniping, was right behind her. Her current position was indeed blocking the muzzle of his gun, making it impossible for him to aim at Judy... Therefore, after the pistol in her hand was kicked away by Conan, she was indeed suppressed by the opponent.

Oh, you are indeed worthy of me...

but……

"Well, after Teacher Judy gets in the car, please get in as well! I'll trouble you to drive us to the police station..."

So, under the threat of the anesthetic needle, Conan said this to Vermouth.

In this regard, Vermouth felt that this was reasonable, but she couldn't help but sigh at Conan's naivety.

After all, if he really intended to kill them, with just this tranquilizer gun, he could take the hit head-on, then make room for Calvados and let Calvados finish the job directly, so that the other party would have no chance of survival.

The current situation is completely because Conan's appearance exceeded his expectations, and for some reason, he could not really kill Conan, so the situation has become like this...

but……

Could it be that he had anticipated that I would not really kill him? That was why he dared to take such a risk?

For a moment, Vermouth was a little unsure of the routine, but it was obvious that she couldn't just surrender like that. After all, even if she didn't move, could Conan really dare to shoot a tranquilizer gun and make her unconscious?

He should be aware that this anesthetic needle is only a deterrent before it is fired, and once it is fired, they will lose all their cards.

At this moment, the most important thing he should do is to use the brief respite gained from the anesthetic needle to grab the pistol that he had just kicked away and use the pistol to carry out the subsequent deterrence...

Otherwise, just based on this point, I would have to get in the car and turn myself in to the police station...

  Do you really think Calvados doesn't exist?

Even if he really listened to him and got in the car, Calvados could call for reinforcements and intercept him on the way to the police station.

And if it comes to that, maybe myself, Conan, and Judy will all have no chance of survival...

Thinking of this, Vermouth and Conan remained in a stalemate, without any action.

For Conan, he was waiting for Vermouth's move.

As for Vermouth, she is also waiting for Conan to make a more correct choice...

Now, his behavior is still too naive...

However, perhaps it is precisely because of this innocence that...

"Click——"

But suddenly, at this moment, a sudden noise caught everyone's attention... (End of this chapter)
