Stay away from Conan.

Because of what happened at Officer Shiratori's sister's engagement party tonight, Ai suspected that members of an organization were present. After learning about all this, Takato did a series of analyses and somehow came up with some clues, but ultimately chose to rest in the basement tonight instead of going back upstairs...

Although this may not necessarily mean anything, Ai still felt that Gao Yuan's attitude reflected his concern about the matter.

Therefore, after some consideration, Ai made her choice—

He contacted Vermouth himself through the email address that Gao Yuan used to communicate with her, in an attempt to understand the current situation.

Moreover, after Gao Yuan fell asleep, I had a video call with my sister to discuss what had happened, and my sister agreed with this approach.

After all, that night, after Vermouth forcibly transformed herself back into Shiho Miyano, she tried to contact them, saying she had a proposal and seemed to be interested in cooperating with them.

After sharing this with her older sister, Akemi Miyano, Akemi also felt that although she didn't know what Vermouth's so-called proposal was, at least from the looks of it, Vermouth's purpose was clearly not right. If she simply wanted to be an enemy of their side, or to completely eliminate the "traitor Sherry" matter, Vermouth wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble, especially after she obtained the antidote from their side.

After all, if Vermouth simply wanted to make "Sherry disappear" while concealing from the organization the fact that the drug had effects such as reversing aging, she could have simply killed Ai when she reverted to Shiho Miyano's appearance. In that case, Vermouth's final response to the organization would have been a clear and unambiguous statement that Sherry was dead, leaving her with no further worries.

As for the possible reactions from Takato and Conan, to be honest, at that point, it's no longer important.

Therefore, since Vermouth did not intend to do so, let's look at the ultimate consequences of her actions—

Her efforts ultimately benefited the FBI, enabling them to successfully arrest many members of the organization.

Therefore, from this perspective, Vermouth's actions seem even more subtle, especially considering the previously discovered message her father left for Cointreau...

Taking everything into consideration, the Miyano sisters decided to contact Vermouth to determine her purpose.

After all, just as Akemi Miyano said—

In fact, as long as Ai, Takato, and Conan don't leave Beika Town, everyone basically has no secrets about Vermouth. Therefore, from the beginning, everyone's status is not entirely equal.

In this situation, since Vermouth clearly has ulterior motives, this is naturally the only place where intervention is possible!

Therefore, with Miyano Akemi's support and Ai's genuine desire to do something, after careful consideration, Ai took the initiative to contact Takato via his email address...

……

"What exactly are you trying to do by shooting police officers and even infiltrating the police force?"

Sitting in front of the computer, a lit cigarette between her fingers, Vermouth remained silent for a while after seeing the email from Gao Yuan's inbox. She didn't make any move, just stood there blankly for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on Vermouth's lips. Clearly, Vermouth was already surprised enough by the email itself, but the content mentioned in the email made her even more delighted.

After all, several days had passed since the last incident, and the other party hadn't replied to the email I sent offering a suggestion. This clearly indicated that they didn't want to pay attention to my suggestion after what happened that night...

But now, the other party has taken the initiative to send it, and the questions they asked are so specific...

Is it because this new situation has left them somewhat uncertain about the situation, or has the situation reached a point where they feel compelled to contact them?

Or perhaps it was because after observing them for a period of time, they gained the confidence to not be afraid of them and began to contact them proactively?

If that's the case, then it's true that after that day, I didn't use any power against them, and it's also true that it's inconvenient for me to proactively use power against them again.

After all, now that Gin has returned, any unnecessary actions could be detected by him. Without a clear reason to conceal their purpose, rashly targeting them might only reveal to Gin the truth that he shouldn't know.

So, in that case, Gao Yuan and his group this time...

Ah, well, since they've taken the initiative to contact me, the game has moved to the next stage. That's good!
Thinking this, Vermouth put the cigarette back to her lips, took a drag, and then casually placed it on the ashtray beside her. She then rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head slightly, seemingly considering how to reply.

Clearly, at least from the email sent by the other party, it can be inferred that they are aware that the recent events may be related to the organization. What is even more surprising is that Gin and his team had just asked them to help send "Ireland" into the Metropolitan Police Department not long ago, and they have already realized this!

Did Ireland slip up? Or did they detect something unusual in the events that occurred?
As for the alleged shooting of a police officer, they also attributed the incident to the organization, which isn't entirely wrong, since the person who committed the crime has now come under the organization's scrutiny.

Even if we don't recruit such a bold individual, he's enough to do something for the organization and help get rid of some troublesome guys.

This is the judgment Gin made.

But now, it seems that his role is very limited, so what should be done?

If Gao Yuan and Shirley are involved in this matter, how can we achieve a relatively perfect result while still fulfilling our own objectives?
……

"Oh? So, can you get rid of that person? The one inside the police force?"

In the basement of the Akechi residence, Ai Haibara sat in front of her computer, watching the email she had sent quickly receive a reply from the other side. While looking at the email interface, she turned her gaze to another computer screen on the other side, which showed Ai Haibara and Akemi Miyano having a video call.

When Akemi Miyano learned of the situation, a faint smile appeared on her face… (End of Chapter)
