Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 799 All those with brown hair deserve to die!

Returning to the present, Conan spoke with a serious expression: "If I'm not mistaken, the previous Fumiyo Edogawa was Vermouth in disguise."

The name struck her heart like a hammer blow, and Ai Haibara almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Vermouth, what a familiar name.

That woman, whose appearance remained unchanged for decades, woke me from my dreams countless nights.

The woman treated her very badly when she was in the organization, especially during her time studying in the United States, when the situation reached its extreme.

The reason I can't make friends is largely because of her.

Ai Haibara strongly suspects that the deaths of her parents may have been orchestrated by this person.

The winery is highly secretive, so security is naturally a top priority. The other researchers' projects were fine, but the explosion happened at their own parents' research institute, which is clearly abnormal.

Ai Haibara felt a suffocating pain in her heart, but she was powerless against this person. Over time, this sense of powerlessness gradually turned into deep fear.

Ai Haibara's eyes were glazed over, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You didn't notice for so long?"

"I never expected her to know me so well, and the character she portrayed was exactly like my mom's. Who would have thought that a rat in a ditch could have such a glamorous appearance and be the American superstar Chris Vineyard?"

Ai Haibara's expression froze; she did know that.

However, he did not tell Conan.

So the Kudo family and Chris Vineyard are friends?

If I had told her this earlier, perhaps Vermouth would never have had the chance to appear in my life.

"The fire a few days ago..."

Conan nodded slightly: "It's probably because she notified Gin. Luckily, Aunt Joel was home at the time, otherwise you would have been in real danger. They were probably after you at that time."

In fact, this is Conan's guess, but the probability of this guess is very high.

This is mainly because Conan was unaware that the kidnapping incident at Beika General Hospital actually occurred twice.

Unlike Conan, Ai Haibara lacked deductive reasoning skills, and coupled with her emotional shock, she was already disoriented when she heard the news.

"No wonder Uncle Xia Chuan told you this in secret."

Ai Haibara glanced back at Natsukawa. "He must have deliberately kept it from me because he was worried I would be upset if I heard the news."

Xia Chuan's gentle smile gave her an unparalleled sense of security.

Conan's lips twitched. Natsukawa could hide the truth without any problems and even get thanked, while he was being threatened.
Poor Conan was indignant. The cake in his hand suddenly looked disgusting. He kept stuffing cream into his mouth, and after a few bites, his face suddenly turned ashen.

"Oh no, I ate the cream too fast and it's making me nauseous!"

The birthday boy/girl ran awkwardly to the toilet.
Meanwhile, a long-legged beauty arrived at a small bar in Shinjuku.

Under the watchful eyes of many hungry wolves, the woman walked gracefully into the kitchen and then proceeded along the narrow, dark passageway.

At the end of the passage was a downward staircase, which the woman walked down without a second thought.

Below is an ordinary underground warehouse, filled with all kinds of wine.

The woman skillfully stepped over these "obstacles" and came to a wine cabinet, turning over a bottle of red wine.

"Click."

The wine cabinet slid automatically to the side, revealing a small door.

The small door leads to a hidden world, a vast space that feels surprisingly open and bright.

The lights came on one by one, then slowly turned off as the footsteps faded into the distance.

The woman was Vermouth. She glanced back at the lights that were gradually turning off, and her eyes lit up noticeably.

In this day and age, such automatic sensor lights are still quite rare.

Especially in breweries, the simpler the better.

For example, the base that Kaito destroyed had ordinary incandescent light bulbs overhead. "When did the organization become so technologically advanced?"

Deep within the underground chamber, Vermouth finally met Gin.

Gin looked grim and did not answer the question.

He had learned that several companies associated with the organization had been seized by the IRS.

The companies that were shut down were basically those that Vermouth had contacted when she was impersonating Fumiyo Edogawa.

Therefore, Gin naturally blamed Vermouth for the FBI's pursuit of the hideout.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Vermouth was confused.

She only learned about Yukiko Kudo's upcoming return to Japan through her informant in the United States and was unaware of the National Tax Service situation.

After all, I only have time to check the news in the evenings.

"Your identity has been discovered?" Gin asked irritably.

Vermouth nodded slightly, unconcerned, and said, "After all, that little boy and Kogoro Mouri are not people who can be easily fooled. It was inevitable that there would be mistakes, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Vermouth didn't explain that she gave up her undercover work because Yukiko Kudo returned to Japan, but she was still a little surprised. What did Gin just say? Several peripheral companies that had been in contact with her were shut down?
I only found out about it in the afternoon, and Conan actually reacted so quickly.

"Damn it, Xia Chuan might have gotten together with the FBI."

Gin took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaling the smoke after it passed through his lungs: "The National Tax Service has shut down all the companies you've been in contact with. Shuichi Akai even came to me and swaggered around."

"Uh"

Vermouth was bewildered. How did this get involved with the FBI again? Shuichi Akai was still on the Public Security Bureau's blacklist.

"They were just a few front companies. Losing them is fine, and I didn't come away empty-handed," Vermouth said nonchalantly.

"What did you gain?" Gin suppressed his anger for the time being. If Vermouth couldn't give him a good explanation, he would definitely report her to the boss.

The loss isn't huge, but this can't go on forever. It's better to send the other party away.

Whether he goes to Europe to wreak havoc on Rum or the boss takes him in personally, the important thing is to prevent him from ever seeing the other party again.

“My investigation revealed that the child named Ai Haibara has not actually been under Natsukawa’s protection all along.”

"Who is Ai Haibara?" Gin asked instinctively.

"Big brother, that's one of Xia Chuan's daughters, and her hair color is the same as Shirley's."

That makes it easier to picture.

"Those with brown hair deserve to die!" Gin muttered under his breath, crushing the cigarette butt in his hand.

Vodka was somewhat frightened by this scene; his older brother's personality seemed to have become even more volatile.
"So, I have a plan. If it succeeds, we can not only capture this little girl named Ai Haibara, but also use her as a threat to get rid of Natsukawa!"

She knew a long time ago that Ai Haibara was Sherry.

However, with Xia Chuan and Yoel's influence, Vermouth hadn't found a suitable opportunity until now, and she felt that now was the perfect time.

She didn't care about Xia Chuan or anything like that; her main goal was to kill Shirley.

Of course, for the sake of her godson, it would be best to kill Sherry without anyone knowing, so as to prevent the fact that Conan is Shinichi Kudo from being exposed.

Upon hearing that he could resolve the issue with Natsukawa, Gin finally calmed down and asked indifferently, "What plan? Tell me about it."

really!

Gin's reaction was exactly what Vermouth had expected.
