Stay away from Conan.

"To be honest... I don't really want to doubt that Minister Toshiro Odagiri, and... the two analogies you made..."

After careful consideration for a while, Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, still feeling that it was necessary to reconsider suspecting Odagiri Toshiro, after all—

"If we look at the standards of Pisco and Rena Mizunashi's two operations, the purpose of those two organizations was actually to kill the target, but this time the bomb did not cause any incident or lead to any new incidents afterward, right?"
"Furthermore, after you mentioned the matter between Councilor Tunkou and Tsuchimon Kanghui, I actually remembered something else."

Hearing Gao Yuan say this, Xiao Ai was a little surprised. She didn't quite understand what the other thing Gao Yuan was talking about was, because given all the things she and Gao Yuan had been through in the past, if there were similar things, she should know about them.

Ai tilted her head slightly in response, expressing her confusion, and Gao Yuan naturally provided an explanation:
Do you still remember Hara Yoshiaki?

"Ok?"

Slightly surprised, Ai blinked, clearly taken aback by the answer. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she seemed to understand Gao Yuan's meaning and asked in return:
"You mean... the councilman who was murdered in Nishitama City?"

"Yes."

Gao Yuan nodded and replied:
"Thinking about it carefully, we only know of a few instances where the organization has been involved in politics."

"Initially, it was the Pisco incident, where Congressman Tunkou was murdered by Pisco. Although we currently have no way of knowing the specifics of what happened between this person and the organization, based on what we do know, we can roughly conclude that Congressman Tunkou's rise to that position in politics was driven by an organization behind him. However, when the organization discovered that he was going to be investigated for bribery, it should be correct that the organization eliminated Pisco in advance to silence him before the investigation began."

"Yes, that should be basically it. Moreover, in order to carry out this murder, not only did they mobilize Pisco, a veteran of the organization, but even Vermouth returned to Japan to secretly intervene... It's clear that this operation is very important to the organization."

Ai then recounted what she remembered about the incident.

Gao Yuan nodded in response:
"Yes, this matter is definitely very important. And the organization must have paid a heavy price to elevate Congressman Tunkou to that position, just like they promoted Pisco's public identity to that of a key figure in the financial world..."

"However, in that same incident, both Senator Tunkou and Pisco were silenced. It's unclear how much time and resources the organization will need to cultivate two more individuals like them..."

Listening to Gao Yuan recount this matter, and after briefly considering the two subsequent events, Xiao Ai couldn't help but say:

"If... after the organization lost Representative Tonguchi in the political arena, and wants to fill that void, then could it be that the Tsuchimon Yasuharu incident..." At this moment, recalling what happened afterward, it is known that the Tsuchimon Yasuharu figure, who came from the Self-Defense Forces, had a strong sense of justice. Therefore, at that time, Judy from the FBI believed that if this person were elected as a senator, it might have a negative impact on the organization, which led to the assassination attempt.

But if we now connect this matter with Representative Tunkou, is it possible that this is actually a prelude for the organization to plant another mole in the political arena?
Because they felt that Tumen Kanghui was the biggest obstacle to their chosen candidate's successful election as a member of parliament, they decided to eliminate him to ensure that their chosen candidate could win the election.

Seeing that Ai had thought of this, Gao Yuan didn't refute it, but simply replied:
"Possibly... But don't forget about that Nishitama City Councilor from before. Because of Hara Yoshiaki, we can actually confirm that the councilor accepted bribes from the organization, can't we?"

Thus, when Gao Yuan brought up this matter, recalling all the things that had happened since the Nishitama Twin Towers incident, Ai couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. She remembered very clearly that it was through these events that the organization's "Camus" was ultimately implicated...

"Jinhua Financial..."

Ai Haibara directly revealed the channel through which the organization bribed the congressman, which was ultimately discovered because of this incident. The money was transferred to these people through Jin Hua Financial, a company actually controlled by Camus. In the end, the congressman's murder was also related to the organization, and the key figure in it was Hara Yoshiaki...

“That’s right. Through Golden Flower Financial, the organization was actually laying the groundwork for purging Camus. The murder of that councilor from Nishitama City was probably also an attempt by the organization to silence him. Although there is still no clear evidence to this day as to who exactly carried out that murder, it is an indisputable fact that Vermouth was involved.”

When Gao Yuan mentioned Vermouth's name again, Ai Haibara couldn't help but sigh and say:
"But the ultimate impact of this incident... Camus actually came to our place, and although Vermouth and the others eventually dealt with him, but..."

At this point, Ai was still a little shaken. Recalling the incident when Camus attacked the Akechi residence, although Vermouth and the others were the ones who ultimately handled the aftermath, now that she thought about it carefully, she felt that the whole thing might have been orchestrated by Vermouth herself, but it had dragged Takato and herself into it...

In other words, Vermouth shouldn't have been trusted at all. The fact that she fed herself the antidote a few days ago, leading to the current situation, also shows that Vermouth cannot be completely trusted.

"Yes, the problem lies with Vermouth."

At this moment, seeing that Ai mentioned Vermouth's obvious involvement in that incident, Gao Yuan stated with certainty:
"Regarding the matter of Senator Tunkuchi, it is unclear what Vermouth's thoughts were on killing Senator Tunkuchi, but I am basically certain that Pisco's death is definitely related to Vermouth... or rather, I can basically conclude that Vermouth directly influenced the outcome of Pisco being purged by Gin."

"Similarly, in the entire process involving Hara Yoshiaki, from the death of that congressman to the final purge of Camus, Vermouth definitely played a huge role in it."

"In other words..." (End of Chapter)
