Chapter 88 Bourbon's Investigation, Vermouth's Counterattack (Seeking First Subscription)

After leaving the Kitahara Chinese restaurant, Amuro Tooru did not go directly back to his apartment.

Instead, he went somewhere, took some things, and then returned to his Mokuma Apartment in Beika Town.

After returning home, Amuro Tooru called out, "I'm home," and then walked straight into the dark room, entering his bedroom.

Instead of turning on the bedroom light, he turned on a small orange-lit desk lamp, which was fixed to the table.

A soft light emanated from the dark house.

"call"

Amuro Tooru let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing. He hung his coat on the wall hanger, then took out a silver-white pistol from his person, sat cross-legged in front of the small wooden table, and began to disassemble the pistol, cleaning and maintaining it.

This pistol is like his own brother, so it must be cleaned and maintained every day so that it can be used in the most critical moments and avoid problems.

soon
Amuro Tooru reassembled the disassembled pistol and then cocked it.

Then, he got up and sat on the bed behind him, his eyes sharpening instantly as he aimed at a certain spot.

The target was a tatami mat with a notebook and a few photos on it.

The photo contains both men and women, one of whom is a man wearing a knitted hat.

Another woman was wearing a white lab coat and had shoulder-length brown hair, while another woman had long brown hair and a gentle smile on her face.

The man in the photo is none other than FBI ace agent Shuichi Akai.

The woman in the white coat is Sherry, a member of the Black Organization.

The last woman was Sherry's older sister, Akemi Miyano.

These three are the targets that Amuro Tooru needs to investigate at this stage.

Among them, Akemi Miyano has already been investigated and found out that she is currently working as a teller at the Miyauchi Bank Beika branch, which is under the Miyauchi conglomerate.

In addition, the investigation into Shuichi Akai and Sherry continues, but with little success.

Shuichi Akai is still at the FBI headquarters in the United States, a place he cannot reach.

Sherry, on the other hand, was under close guard by Gin, who had previously hoped to find the organization's base and obtain intelligence.

As a result, the cunning Gin burned it all down, leaving nothing behind. Now, a reinvestigation is needed.

And now, his investigation list will have two more people added.

At this moment
Amuro Tooru took out an envelope and emptied its contents, which included two photos and a disk.

The two people in the photo are Fumiyo Edogawa and Conan Edogawa, whom I met today.

He obtained this item by using his position within the police department.

There were surveillance cameras near the Mouri Detective Agency, and he retrieved the footage and took screenshots of them.

"Let me see who you really are."

Amuro Tooru placed the photo on the table, picked up his laptop, and logged onto a website.

It is the database of the Japanese household registration office.

However, his visit was not a normal one; normal access is only granted to internal personnel, and he was not one of them.

Therefore, what he did was illegal and criminal.

But what does Amuro Tooru's illegal and criminal activities have to do with me, Furuya Rei?

so.
Amuro Tooru typed "Edogawa Fumiyo" into the name field and pressed Enter.

Drip
The screen flickered twice, displaying a few words.

No such person found.

Upon seeing these words, Amuro Tooru understood; it wasn't too far off from his guess.

He then searched for Conan Edogawa.

This time, the investigation uncovered their personal information, including details about their parents.

However, no such person as Fumiyo Edogawa or Yuhei Edogawa could be found.

"Hmph, the identity information is so poorly done."

Looking at the crudely made identity information, Amuro Tooru shook his head. It was too perfunctory; it was obviously fake.

However, having identification information is already a good thing.

It's important to know that in the original work, Conan is an unregistered resident. He needs to transform into Shinichi Kudo or have Kaito Kid deliver packages to him when he travels abroad by plane.

And now he's using a poorly made identity information to fool you, which is already a big improvement; you can't ask for more.

Next, Amuro Tooru typed on the keyboard again and began to investigate based on the identity information.

This identity information was discovered to have been suddenly entered into the system some time ago, and there was no record of it before that.

In other words, Conan Edogawa was an unregistered person in the past.

As Amuro Tooru investigated further, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, sensing that things were far from simple.

At the same time, he recalled a sentence that Absinthe had said before he left.

Bourbon, some things should be done in moderation. If you go too far, things will get very complicated.

"It seems this matter is more complicated than I imagined, but since we've already investigated this far, it's impossible for me to give up!"

It doesn't matter, it's troublesome if it is.

As long as he finds out and doesn't tell anyone, that's fine.

Everyone knows that he is the most tight-lipped man in the world.

Subsequently, Amuro Tooru began a deeper investigation, starting by searching the National Police Agency's database.

However, it wasn't the name of the investigation, but rather a photo of the investigation.

The police department's database contains a large amount of image data; a comparison should yield a result.

He had indeed seen Edogawa Fumiyo's face before, but he had forgotten who it was and where he had seen it.

So he figured he could find it in the police department's photo archive.

Amuro Tooru inserted the disk, then typed on the keyboard to input the data of Edogawa Fumiyo and Edogawa Conan into the database, and then began the comparison.

The database contains a large number of images, and comparing them takes a considerable amount of time.

Taking advantage of this break, Amuro Tooru closed his eyes and began to rest.

He would use all his free time to adjust himself or get a deep sleep.

It was precisely because of his deep sleep that he had much more time than the average person.

Drip
The laptop made a sound again, and Amuro Tooru opened his eyes to see the comparison results on the screen.

"There is a 90% chance that it is Yukiko Kudo, a popular actress from 20 years ago."

"There's a 95% chance it's Shinichi Kudo!"

The comparison between Fumiyo Edogawa and Conan Edogawa appeared on the screen, shocking him and causing a bead of cold sweat to trickle down his forehead, but his expression gradually became excited. At this moment, Tooru Amuro finally remembered where he had seen Fumiyo Edogawa before.

He had seen a picture of Yukiko Fujimine in the newspaper, which explained why she seemed so familiar.

In addition, Yukiko Kudo's close friend was the deceased Sharon Vineyard, and Chris was Sharon Vineyard's daughter.

Therefore, he can now confirm that Fumiyo Edogawa is Yukiko Kudo.

The Shinichi Kudo shown on the screen is not the high school detective Shinichi Kudo, but a photo of him as a child.

The only difference between the two photos is a pair of glasses.

If you remove the glasses, the two look exactly alike, both in appearance and hairstyle.

He knew very well that Shinichi Kudo did not have a twin brother.

"No wonder Vermouth came back to confront me and told me not to get too involved in this matter. It turns out she knew about Fumiyo Edogawa and Conan Edogawa's identities all along."

"But why would she keep it a secret for Shinichi Kudo?"

"And why did Shinichi Kudo become like this?"

Amuro Tooru pondered for a moment, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him. A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he slowly uttered a few words.

"APTX-4869!"

It matches perfectly, all of them match perfectly!

Although he had never seen the drug before, that did not prevent him from knowing its name and effects.

A drug that can kill silently and whose toxicity cannot be detected by any means, and this drug was developed by Sherry.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept investigating Sherry.

"Shinichi Kudo's disappearance is related to this drug. It must have caused some side effects, which made his body shrink. Vermouth is a good friend of Yukiko Kudo, so after she found out about this, she kept it from Shinichi Kudo and didn't even tell the organization."

"However, Vermouth wouldn't hide something from the organization just for something like this; there must be a deeper reason!"

Amuro Tooru's speculation, while somewhat horrifying and fantastical, is not impossible.

At this point, he decided to play it safe and conduct a DNA comparison first.

If Shinichi Kudo has been to the hospital, there will be traces, and then obtaining Conan's hair or something similar will be enough.

This was easy for him.

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru's lips curled into a smile.

"Absinthe, the secret now is two against one!"

"But that's not all. I need to know the whole story."

Amuro Tooru was also a detective, so he is somewhat obsessive in some ways.

So he began accessing the databases of various Japanese organizations to investigate Shinichi Kudo.

Then, a Porsche 356A was spotted on a highway.

Coincidentally, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri were also on this highway that day.

And from that day on, Shinichi Kudo never appeared again.

It all makes sense now; everything about Shinichi Kudo matches up.

All that's left is the relationship between Vermouth and Shinichi Kudo.

Investigate, investigate, continue investigating.

While Amuro Tooru was conducting his investigation, Vermouth was also busy.

She returned to the base where Sherry was being held.

However, she didn't run into the lovely Sherry in the hallway this time, and she didn't come here specifically to bully Sherry.

But not bothering Shirley doesn't mean she won't bother others.

Sometimes, when you're going to bully Sherry, you don't actually need to target Sherry; you can do it in a different way, or even target someone else.

"Gin, are you free now?"

After arriving at the base, Vermouth went straight to Gin's office and knocked on the door.

Then, Gin's cold voice came from inside the office.

"Come in."

crunch
Vermouth pushed the door open and went inside, then closed it behind her.

Gin, who was processing documents, didn't even look up and asked directly, "Why are you here so late at night? Is there something you need? Or do you know something about the ghost?"

The only person he's interested in right now is a ghost.

Upon hearing those two words, Vermouth's expression changed, but she quickly recovered.

I'm here to ask for a favor, so I can't show them any attitude.

"No."

Vermouth sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said, "I came here to borrow someone from you."

Upon hearing this, Gin looked up, frowned, and said, "Borrow someone? Who do you want to borrow?"

The woman who asked for the loan must not be an ordinary person.

"Miyano Akemi."

"You want to use her to threaten Sherry and then achieve your own goals?"

Gin practically blurted out those words.

The fact that Vermouth wanted to kill Sherry was not exactly a secret within the organization; while it wasn't common knowledge.

"Hmph!" Vermouth snorted coldly, somewhat displeased: "If I want to kill Sherry, why do I need to go through Miyano Akemi?"

"I just feel that this woman is being wasted on you, so you might as well give her to me. I happen to be short-handed."

She doesn't plan to go back to the US, because Japan is much more interesting.

As for her intelligence network in the United States, Martina is in charge of managing it, so there's no need to worry. This allows her to stay in Tokyo with peace of mind.

Therefore, she planned to cultivate several subordinates, and Miyano Akemi was a good pawn.

Gin didn't hesitate much and agreed immediately: "Okay, but this woman is Sherry's weakness, and she's also connected to Shuichi Akai. Don't mess things up."

As for what Vermouth wanted Miyano Akemi to do, he didn't want to know; he just wanted her to stay alive.

"understood."

Vermouth immediately stood up.

Having achieved her goal, she saw no need to linger at the base and left immediately.
