Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 148 Playing Games with the Bad Woman Vermouth

Vermouth hung up the phone with her red-nailed fingers, then casually threw Huihara Ai’s phone on the bed: “I didn’t expect that you would meet such a reliable helper in such a short time.

I'm really curious about how you can attract men with your cold personality.

Or do men nowadays like the cold type like you?"

Ai Haibara was lying on the luxurious bed in the hotel, with her hands and feet tied with ropes.

However, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her Miyano Shiho now.

Because she has turned into an adult body.

Her two slender and round legs were tied together with ropes, leaving faint red marks on her ankles.

Miyano Shiho's hands were also tied behind her back. This posture made her chest fuller, revealing a hint of white in the front of her dark blue yukata.

This is something that the previous "Flat Ai" could never do.

Miyano Shiho glared at Vermouth coldly, but her tone was pleading: "Why do you want to involve irrelevant people? I can agree to any request you have, including information about drugs that the organization is unaware of."

Vermouth adjusted her sitting position, lifted up Erlang, and then took out a cigarette and lit it: "He is not an ordinary person, but an important part of my plan."

Miyano Shiho's ice-blue eyes dimmed. If Haruhiko was also seen by the organization as a part of the plan, then there was no way they would let him go just because of her few words.

Miyano Shiho felt heartbroken when she thought that Haruhiko might be implicated because of her.

She is indeed a woman plagued by misfortune.

But even now, she still doesn't know why things turned out like this.

Looking back now, it all started when that man named Hattori Heiji fed her white wine.

Because he lost his sense of taste due to a fever, he drank a large gulp of white wine, which resulted in unexpected changes in his body.

That night she reverted to being Miyano Shiho.

When she excitedly wanted to record all of this, Haibara Ai felt a feeling that made her whole body tremble and her hair stand on end.

The organization showed up and was nearby.

If she were in a smaller body now, perhaps Haibara Ai would choose to disguise herself as a child to avoid the organization's pursuit.

But now that she's older, the risk of being discovered has reached its highest point.

In order not to implicate others, she secretly escaped through the back door of the hotel.

I originally thought of hiding first, and if everything was fine, I would sneak back to the doctor's house.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he was caught by a woman named Vermouth.

For the next two days, Vermouth imprisoned her in a luxury suite in the hotel.

Apart from not having freedom, nothing excessive was done to her.

But the terrible aura from Vermouth tortured Haibara Ai's body and mind all the time.

But what she was most worried about was that Dr. Agasa and Haruhiko would discover her disappearance and follow the clues to find her, which would be troublesome.

She spent two days in the hotel room in anxiety. During this period, Vermouth went out several times, but she was knocked unconscious every time and had no chance to escape.

Sure enough, on the third day, the thing that Haibara Ai was most worried about happened.

As expected, Kousaka Haruhiko was the first one to notice that something was wrong and called her.

After coming out of the shower, Vermouth found the call record on her mobile phone and called back.

Then, something happened that made Haibara Ai even more confused.

Even though Haibara Ai deleted all her contacts, Vermouth called out Kousaka Haruhiko's name just by listening to the voice.

Did she already know that I was with Haruhiko?
Or has Haruhiko been under the organization's surveillance all along?
Haibara Ai couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't even guess why Vermouth used her as bait to lure Haruhiko here.

But this does not affect her choice in this situation.

She must not let Kousaka Haruhiko fall into danger because of her. She already owes him too much, Haibara Ai thought.

As for the method - Haibara Ai secretly glanced at a brown paper bag at Vermouth's feet.

It was an ordinary-looking shopping bag, and from her angle she couldn't see what was inside.

However, a green light could be vaguely seen flashing at the mouth of the bag, and the contents inside were making a rhythmic dripping sound.

It should be a bomb.

Haibara Ai felt that it might be related to the organization's subsequent plans and should not be used against Haruhiko.

But she thought this was an opportunity.

Since there is no way to convince Vermouth to let Haruhiko go, then at least he cannot step into the enemy's mouth to save himself.

If he could detonate these bombs, not only would he and Vermouth die together, but he would also attract the attention of the outside world.

As long as Haruhiko isn't allowed to come here and die.

Even if the organization comes looking for him later, he will at least have enough time to prepare and be warned, so as not to fall into the dilemma of being held hostage.

Moreover, Haibara Ai felt that with that guy's luck, he might really be able to compete with the organization.

Of course, the premise is that she is not a burden.

Miyano Shiho, determined, spoke to Vermouth while searching for an opportunity to detonate the bomb: "Is the organization planning another major move? Weren't the losses last time severe enough? Or has the pressure from Europe eased?"

Miyano Shiho combined her understanding of the organization and intelligence and started a conversation with Vermouth.

Vermouth took a puff of her cigarette, then leaned over and blew smoke rings into Miyano Shiho's face: "Who told you it was the organization's plan?"

Shirley coughed several times and asked, "Isn't that what you just said?"

Vermouth sat up and chuckled, "What I mean is that he is an important part of my plan."

"Oh? Are you trying to do something without my permission again?" Miyano Shiho curled her lips. "I'm really curious about your relationship with the boss. How could he tolerate you until today?"

"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to complete your final role." At this time, Vermouth seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "By the way, have you ever had sex with that Kosaka Haruhiko?"

"What?" Shirley was stunned.

Vermouth stretched lazily and slid her white fingertips across her plump red lips: "It's just a matter between men and women."

Huiyuan Ai curled her lips: "I didn't expect you to be so gossipy."

"I just think that you will die soon, and it would be a pity if you haven't tasted what it's like to be a woman in this life," said Vermouth.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing." Haibara Ai said expressionlessly.

However, after Vermouth mentioned this, her mind subconsciously recalled the intimate contact she had with Haruhiko before——

He forcibly took me home, gave me a bath, and even stuffed me into bed...

When I was on my way to Mamiya Manju Castle, my buttons were touched in the car...

And then she got into bed in the middle of the night, and so on, all appeared in her mind one by one.

"Oh? It seems that it's not completely gone. Is it only half done?" Vermouth smiled frivolously, "Then it seems that at least it's not that bad."

"boring!"

Haibara Ai looked expressionless, but she was very anxious inside because Vermouth was always staying near the shopping bag and she couldn't find any opportunity to take action.

Moreover, several minutes had passed, and she believed that Kousaka Haruhiko was rushing here.

There isn't much time left for her.

Vermouth took another puff of her cigarette, blew the smoke rings into the air, looked at the smoke rings slowly rising into the sky and said, "If there is enough time later, I can show mercy and let you experience what it feels like to be a woman before you die.

Of course, I did this just to see you, who is usually cold and arrogant and is called Her Majesty Queen Shirley by the people in the institute, moaning softly under a man.

Huiyuan Ai ignored her humiliating words: "I already said that I am not interested in that kind of thing. If you like, you can try it with him."

"I don't mind, but won't you be jealous?" Vermouth chuckled.

Huiyuan Ai said with a straight face: "He and I are just ordinary friends."

"Would an ordinary friend come here to die for you?" Vermouth's words hit the nail on the head.

Haibara Ai bit her lip lightly.

How could she not understand what Vermouth said, but the more she understood, the more she felt she owed Kousaka Haruhiko.

She hadn't even cooked a few meals for him, but she had always been treated like a protected person. It was so unfair.

In fact, Haibara Ai had thought about taking the initiative, but her cold personality made her proactive displays of goodwill seem like she was keeping people at a distance.

Haibara Ai remained silent.

At this time, the cigarette in Vermouth's hand had burned to one third.

She stood up and walked over to the ashtray on the coffee table.

Haibara Ai keenly realized that this might be an opportunity. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time.

That brown paper bag should contain assembled time bombs. As long as you find a way to cut the fuse, it will explode.

Although her hands and feet were restrained, she still had her teeth to use.

The success rate may not be that high, but this is the best chance she can find. If she waits any longer, Kousaka Haruhiko will probably arrive, and then it will be too late.

So, the moment Vermouth walked to the ashtray.

Ai Haibara used all her strength to roll her body to the floor and hit the brown paper bag with her head.

Sure enough, there were bombs inside that were the size of large milk cartons.

As luck would have it, a box of bombs fell near her mouth, and she could touch it if she just raised her head slightly.

But Haibara Ai just stood there in a daze, without moving.

Because those bombs—

There is no fuse!
At this time, Vermouth walked over slowly with a half-smoked cigarette in her mouth.

Her slender feet with red nail polish gradually approached in the field of vision.

Finally, lift your feet.

He stepped directly on Haibara Ai's face. "You are indeed a dishonest fellow. Do you think I didn't notice the determination in your eyes?" Vermouth's tone became a little grim.

Then she picked up a box of bombs and waved it in front of Ai Haibara: "You don't know? This is a new type of liquid bomb. It has no fuse, and this kind of glass can withstand the weight of a truck without breaking. What do you think? Desperate, right?"

Haibara Ai's cheek was slightly deformed by Vermouth's step, and she stared at the box bomb in the other's hand.

It was a rectangular box that looked like a crystal craft, divided into three areas by a baffle in the middle.

The left and right ends are injected with glowing blue liquid and glowing pink liquid respectively.

A small area in the middle is empty.

If I'm not mistaken, once the bomb is activated, the two streams of liquid will merge together in the blank area in the middle and explode.

In fact, this bomb also has a control system, but it is placed in the blank area in the middle. Unless the box is broken, Haibara Ai cannot destroy it.

"Is this fun for you? You might as well just kill me." Haibara Ai said coldly.

Vermouth lifted her feet and sat on the edge of the bed: "No, you can't die now. At least I won't let you die before completing the mission."

As she spoke, she bent down and grabbed Huibara Ai's short brown hair, lifted her up, and threw her onto the bed: "But since you did something wrong, you still have to be punished."

Haibara Ai's face was full of despair.

Her plan to die together failed, and there was no way to stop Kousaka Haruhiko from coming.

However, she didn't take the punishment Vermouth mentioned seriously at all. Before Haruhiko came, the other party probably wouldn't kill her, and at most would just beat her up.

But a few minutes later, she realized she was wrong.

"Vermouth, why are you taking off my clothes?" Haibara Ai exclaimed, she felt a chill under her body.

Vermouth picked up Haibara Ai's tight panties with her fingertips and said with a playful smile: "Of course it's to punish you."

Although the other person was a woman, Vermouth's scrutinizing gaze made her feel ashamed.

But Vermouth doesn't seem satisfied with this.

She peeled Ai Haibara like an egg, then turned it over and slapped the soft and elastic egg white.

Snapped!
Haibara Ai felt a sharp pain in her buttocks.

But what made her uncomfortable was the shame of being played around with and applauded.

She gritted her teeth and kept a straight face so that the other party wouldn't see her shame and anger, thinking that this would reduce his interest in sadism.

Unexpectedly.

Vermouth's words broke her defense.

"What do you think Haruhiko Kousaka would think if he saw you being spanked by me as soon as he walked in?" Vermouth slid her fingers across Haibara Ai's skin, as if admiring this fascinating body.

"You, you dare?"

Haibara Ai couldn't imagine that kind of scene. It would be even more painful than letting her die.

Snapped!
Vermouth responded to Haibara Ai's question.

Huibara Ai groaned and didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal. She was afraid that this guy would really do that kind of thing.

"Don't worry, I don't have that kind of vulgar taste." Vermouth said, "Well, it's time for you to rest for a while. I have to prepare for the welcoming ceremony for Kousaka Haruhiko."

As she spoke, Vermouth picked up the bottle of perfume on the bedside table and sprayed it on Haibara Ai's face, and Haibara Ai immediately fell asleep.

Then Vermouth took out a collar from the pile of brown paper bags. The front end of the collar was a transparent glass tube, and the light pink and blue liquid was the same as the previous bomb.

Apparently it was a small plastic bomb.

But it is still not turned on.

After doing this, Vermouth put on her clothes and walked out of the room.

She still has a lot of things to arrange.

...

Of course, Haruhiko Kousaka wouldn't be stupid enough to just go there.

But Haibara Ai is in the other party's hands, and she has no choice but to save her.

Finally, he thought about it and called Yuya Kazami, expressing his interest in joining the other camp in exchange for the customer list of the hotel where Vermouth was staying.

But he didn't tell the other party what he wanted the list for, just said it was a personal matter.

Yuya Kazami didn't ask much, but just said that he would talk to Haruhiko about joining them soon.

After getting the list, Haruhiko immediately looked for the list of guests who checked in the night before and had not checked out yet.

Not many, only 7.

Next, just check them one by one.

Haruhiko secretly came to the hotel, knocked out a room service staff, changed into the staff's work clothes, and put on a thick mask on his face.

Then, under the pretext of recycling garbage, he knocked on the doors of the seven suspects one by one.

When walking out of the third room.

The sound of the rice cooker finishing its exorcism of evil spirits could be heard.

Time is running out now, and Haruhiko has no time to look at the skill improvement instructions.

However, he was also worried about whether he would be given any new skills this time, which might play a key role in the battle with Vermouth later.

So he stopped, closed his eyes and looked around.

Haruhiko directly skipped the level increase.

At this point, raising one or two levels won't do anything crucial unless you gain new skills or attributes.

I didn't expect to find a new skill under the entry of [Street Fighting].

【Victims of addictive drugs】

Description: Greatly improve your resistance to hallucinogenic drugs.

It only took Haruhiko a second to decide that this skill couldn't be used for the time being.

Then he pushed the garbage truck and hurried to the next room.

The fourth search target was room 3862.

Haruhiko knocked on the door, but no one answered.

This was the first time Haruhiko encountered such a situation.

He looked around, made sure there was no one in the corridor, took out the universal room card, opened the door, and then slipped in quietly.

Walking along the entrance, the air was filled with the sweet smell of perfume. The guest here should be a woman, but the name written on the name card was a man's.

Haruhiko's breathing became a little rapid, and he felt that he was getting closer to his goal.

When he walked around the hall and came to the bedroom, his pupils widened instantly.

Because on that big white bed, Haibara Ai was lying there, wearing a dark blue yukata and bare feet.

And it is the enlarged Ai Haibara.

A collar was put around her neck. The collar was transparent near her collarbone and contained two luminous liquids, pink and blue.

Haruhiko suppressed his excitement and looked around the room, but did not find Vermouth.

Only then did I feel relieved temporarily.

He returned to the bedroom and woke up Haibara Ai.

When Haibara Ai opened her eyes and saw Haruhiko, she subconsciously wanted to scream, but Haruhiko stopped her in advance.

Huiyuan Ai lowered her voice and said, "W-why are you here? Are you really here?"

Haruhiko gently scratched the tip of her nose with his hand: "Do you think I will just watch them take you away?"

Huiyuan Ai said anxiously: "Vermouth has a lot of bombs in her hands, and she has known you for a long time. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to rush in like this?"

Haruhiko said softly, "No matter how dangerous it is, I don't care. Do you remember our original agreement?"

Haibara Ai's eyes softened instantly, and her ice-blue eyes were filled with crystal clear light.

But now is not the time to be affectionate.

The two then quickly exchanged information. When Haruhiko learned that Vermouth had knocked Haibara Ai unconscious, he guessed that she might have set a trap for him.

He supported Haibara Ai, who was still affected by the drugs and a little unsteady, and walked towards the door, intending to leave here secretly first.

As for the bomb on his neck, he had contacted the doctor in advance and asked him to prepare the tools so that he could start dismantling the bomb immediately after returning.

But for some reason, Haruhiko always felt that Haibara Ai's body felt different to the touch than when they first met.

It feels a little more rounded.

Haruhiko didn't think much of it. The last time he held Big Shirley was a long time ago, so he probably remembered it wrongly.

But just as Haruhiko's hand touched the door handle——

Drop drop!
The collar around Haibara Ai's neck made an electronic sound, and the time on the display screen began to count down.

Only 5 minutes.

At the same time, Haruhiko's cell phone rang.

He pressed the answer button, and Vermouth's lazy voice came from the phone: "Haruhiko, little brother, you are not good. Sister will be angry."

Haruhiko put his arm around the frightened Haibara Ai and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill her easily." Vermouth said, "But if you do something wrong, you must pay the due punishment."

Haruhiko pressed on, "What exactly do you want?"

Vermouth: "I want to play a game."
