Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1044 Shin-chan, guess how Yukiko is doing now?

"Who will it be at this time?"

Shinichi Kudo, holding a cup in his hand, cautiously walked to the door.

If it were a brewery, he would immediately throw the cup in his hand on the ground, and Uncle Kogoro and Makoto Kyogoku in the next room would definitely hear it.

"Who is it?" Shinichi Kudo leaned against the door, asking warily while listening for any sounds.

"Shin-chan, it's me! Open the door!"

Shinichi Kudo recognized the voice immediately; it was his mother's voice.

In order to allow Shuichi Akai and his group to infiltrate, Shinichi Kudo invited his mother back to provide makeup.

The couple then boarded the train together and stayed in room D of carriage number four. However, only he knew about this, and he didn't even tell Akai and his son.

So when Shuichi Akai said there were no suspicious persons in carriages three and four, Shinichi Kudo breathed a sigh of relief.

If the FBI didn't find it, the distillery probably won't either.

That said, why is my mom coming to see me at this time? Did she discover something?
Shinichi Kudo pushed open the door without hesitation.

However, once he saw the other person's face through the crack in the open door, his first instinct was to close the door.

The person outside the door wasn't Mom at all. With her smiling, bright red lips and flowing, light golden wavy hair, who else could it be but Mom's best friend?

My mom's best friend is not only actress Chris Vineyard, but also has another identity behind the scenes—Vermouth, a code name member of the brewery!
Shinichi Kudo broke out in a cold sweat, his whole body tensed up, and he tried to slam the door shut.

Unfortunately, Vermouth was an assassin by trade and her strength was not lacking either. She could not close the door even with one hand supporting her.

"Shin-chan, don't be like that. Shouldn't you open the door to greet your older sister? Is this how Yukiko taught you to be?"

Vermouth smiled jokingly and peeked out a small silver revolver through the crack in the door.

"Little naughty."

Shinichi Kudo's face turned pale instantly. He abandoned his plan to block the door, raised his hands, and backed away.

Upon entering the room, Vermouth closed the door behind her and then locked it.

"See? This is the price of disrespecting elders."

Shinichi Kudo had nowhere left to retreat and was already leaning against the corner of the wall.

"How did you know you were going to use my mom's voice to deceive me?"

"Shouldn't you have already guessed it?"

Vermouth tossed her hair, a cold glint in her eyes. "It must be because I've already found Yusaku and Yukiko. They're hiding in compartment D of carriage four. Guess what's happening to Yukiko now?"

These words were more lethal than a revolver, and Shinichi Kudo's mood instantly sank to the bottom.

"So you did indeed plant spies among the train staff. I bet the food delivery workers in carriages three, four, and five are your people, right?"

Vermouth did not answer the question, but gestured for Shinichi Kudo to sit down.

After the other person sat down, Vermouth sat opposite him, crossing her left leg over her right, showing off her long legs while keeping her gun pointed at Shinichi Kudo.

“If Yukiko hadn’t come back, I would have thought you were preparing to leave Japan.”

"Shin-chan, you're incredibly brave! Didn't you consider that if the plan failed, your whole family, including Ran, would die here?"

Although Vermouth's voice was still teasing, it carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Shinichi Kudo was in a very low mood and didn't hear the blame in her words. His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at his mother's best friend through gritted teeth.

What kind of best friend would lay a hand on another best friend and even point a gun at her best friend's son?

"What do you want?"

Shinichi Kudo felt something was off. Vermouth didn't need to say so much to him; wouldn't it have been better to just take action?
His body has research value; the other party won't kill him, but will threaten him with his parents' lives. Now he only has one chance.

He had prepared tranquilizer darts; as soon as the other party got close, there would be an opportunity.

But Vermouth had no intention of getting closer; she kept a great distance and kept chatting on and on.

Previously, this would have been a good thing. But now that he has separated from Makoto Kyogoku and informed the others that he needs to think about the case in Carriage 8 and doesn't want to be disturbed.

In other words, no one will ever discover him.

"If I'm not mistaken, you disguised yourself as Natsue Kosuke, right? And the maid Sumitomo Hiruka is Bailey's!"

Knowing that no one would be looking for him tonight, and that he only had a handful of people, Vermouth was definitely Xiaosong Xiajiang from carriage number eight.

Vermouth raised her beautiful eyebrows and fiddled with her long, light golden waves. "What's the use of knowing all this now? I've already won over your parents. Now all that's left is you."

Did you know that the boss has been waiting for you for a long time?

Mary Akai's research data alone is simply insufficient. If we capture you and use you as a second test subject, I believe the antidote will be successfully developed very quickly.

As she spoke, Vermouth suddenly paused, looking Shinichi Kudo up and down: "But now I'm a little curious, how did you turn back into your original form? Conan!"

"Let me guess, is it because Sherry has already developed an antidote?"

A glint seemed to flash in Vermouth's eyes, followed by a mocking remark: "Didn't you ever think that the reason you got the antidote was because someone wanted to use you as a test?"

This was already a very obvious hint, and Vermouth thought that with her godson's intelligence, he should be able to understand it.

"impossible!"

Shinichi Kudo didn't believe it at all.

He had gone through great lengths to trick Anya into giving him the antidote.

He wouldn't have gotten the drug at all if he hadn't bribed Anya.

Whenever he thought of Anya's dazed and confused appearance, he felt that he owed the antidote entirely to his own sudden inspiration.

"Stop it. Even if Shuichi Akai, Tsutomu Akai, and Mihawk are all together, they still won't be a match for Gin."

This has already been proven last time.

I've already inquired beforehand; Xia Chuan is currently at home taking care of her child, so you have no chance of success.

What does this mean?
Tell yourself, as long as Xia Chuan is there, there's a chance of success!

Let's forget about it. Xia Chuan's cooperation is poor. Telling him the plan won't make the situation any better.

Shinichi Kudo was confident that as long as he worked hard and used his intelligence, he would definitely be able to win over Gin.

Make Karasuma Renya lose his most important arm, and gradually reveal him to the world!

"Stop making those pointless little moves, I've already seen them."

That's the anesthetic needle watch invented by Professor Agasa, isn't it? Are you going to use it to hit me?
Innocent!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Vermouth suddenly rushed over and, while Shinichi Kudo was still in shock, grabbed the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer dart.

Shinichi Kudo was shocked and instinctively reached for the anesthetic needle.

He suddenly caught a glimpse of Vermouth's triumphant smile out of the corner of his eye, and thought to himself, "Oh no!"

However, experience counts, and Vermouth had been watching Shinichi Kudo for a long time and was very familiar with his behavior.

The injection landed directly on Shinichi Kudo's own neck.
