The world of science is unscientific

In at least the past few decades, Vermouth couldn't recall any other guy receiving the same treatment as Widow.

Are you ready to completely defect from the organization?

Vermouth put down the cigarette between her fingers, but there was no smile on her face.

The next step was to get Conan away from Sherry.

She had already started making plans a few days ago.

What does it take to attract a detective?

A murder case.

To keep the detective away for a sufficient amount of time, the case needs to be complex.

Threatening someone who already wants to kill isn't difficult; intimidating them by threatening the lives of their family members is enough.

In addition, she personally orchestrated the murder, which should have been enough to keep the detectives entertained.

at last......

Vermouth pressed the lighter with her slender fingers, stamping the sealing wax onto the envelope.

This invitation, bearing my code name, should be enough to impress you, right?

Dear Shinichi Kudo... no, Mr. Conan Edogawa.

FBI headquarters.

After unexpectedly discovering activity from the listening device at Shinichiro's house during the day, the four agents began taking turns monitoring the situation.

So far, they have recorded a considerable amount of information.

After checking the time, one of them took out his phone and gave Shuichi Akai another report.

Unfortunately, Judy is unable to answer the phone right now. They had already been instructed not to contact her until she contacted headquarters tomorrow.

The parking lot is not far from Professor Agasa's house.

Shuichi Akai put away his phone, got back into his car, and lit a cigarette with a match.

He felt that Vermouth's sudden return and the release of so much information within a single day were not very credible.

It's impossible for the other party not to search the room.

Did they discover the listening device and then use it to their advantage to set up a trap, just like last time?

But the FBI would never fall for such a clumsy trick.

If that's the case, why did Vermouth still do it?

The remaining light of the match peeked through the darkness, revealing a photograph of Ai Haibara.

Although it's not convenient for him to meet with the other party directly right now, having Judy check the location Vermouth mentioned tomorrow is a good option.

This might really be an opportunity.

As long as we are careful, have enough manpower, and slowly investigate, there will be no problems.

Moreover, the dock Vermouth mentioned is hardly a suburb. If the organization and the FBI clash there, with conclusive evidence, the FBI could even turn the tables and openly conduct its activities in Japan.

After much deliberation, Shuichi Akai still felt it was worth the risk. As long as his superiors gave their approval, he would lead his men there the next morning.

They might actually catch one or two members of the organization.

After making up his mind, he immediately dialed James's number and explained his thoughts to him.

"learn."

After hanging up the phone, Shuichi Akai looked out the window at the crescent moon and chuckled softly.

He was granted permission.

The night passed.

Not long after waking up in the morning, the signal jamming in Suzuki Yusuke's monitoring room was lifted.

However, Yusuke Suzuki himself has not yet formally submitted an application.

Gin hasn't shown up either. Vodka came over with some food and left. These two are probably going out to kill and set fires again.

Today is Thursday, which is good news.

I woke up to find that four days had passed.

Just now, Yusuke Suzuki confirmed from various sources that Ai Haibara is still safe, and Kogoro Mouri hasn't even received an invitation yet.

Because when the clueless detective responded to his indirect questioning, he simply said, "I'm taking a good day off today; the investigation into the affair is finally over."

However, in retrospect, this can no longer be used as the starting point for the Full Moon Arc.

After all, whether Vermouth will follow the original storyline is completely unknown.

However, Yusuke Suzuki still considers the 'invitation' a key factor, since so far, this crucial main storyline hasn't changed much because of his appearance.

Since we haven't received it yet, there's still time.

Yusuke Suzuki was even somewhat relaxed.

You planned to lock me up for ten days, but only two days have actually passed here.

Do you even understand the difference in value depending on the speed of time flow, Vermouth?

Still feeling somewhat uneasy, Suzuki Yusuke thought for a moment and then sent an email to Numabuchi Kiichiro, instructing them to be fully mobilized and on duty for the next few days.

At the same time, Shimabukuro Kimie was given a task: to disguise herself as him and go to Professor Agasa's house in the afternoon.

Try not to stay too long. Go every day for the next few days, in small amounts and frequently, and grow through practical experience.

As for Amuro Tooru, Suzuki Yusuke did not contact him.

As I said before, we can't let Bourbon know that Ai Haibara is Sherry yet, lest he secretly use Ai Haibara to cause trouble.

Moreover, only Yusuke Suzuki will know about Vermouth's death.

The rest is up to time to let things unfold.

After arranging things, Yusuke Suzuki went back to bed and continued to lie down.

Calling Kogoro Mouri so frequently is out of character; he should probably stop calling Ai Haibara to gather information.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon.

Kimie Shimabukuro drove her boss's car to Professor Agasa's house.

She had been here before and still remembered the way.

Ring the doorbell.

"Yusuke's here," Professor Agasa said, opening the door with a delighted expression. "You've come at the perfect time! Come help me move the lab equipment around; I just bought a new machine."

Five minutes later, Kimie Shimabukuro looked at the experimental equipment in front of her, completely at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Professor Agasa compared the sizes. "It should weigh about the same as last time."

Upon hearing this, Kimie Shimabukuro understood.

So the boss can move equipment of this weight?!

She even wanted to make a little bear shrug, as if asking her to do this was just deliberately making things difficult for her.

"Doctor... I'm actually not feeling well today. I'll help you move it in a few days when I'm feeling better."

"I see," Dr. Agasa said with concern. "It shouldn't be anything serious, right? You're in such good health."

"Hmm, it feels like a minor cold; my hands and feet feel a bit weak."

As Shimabukuro Kimie pondered the lie, her gaze fell upon Ai Haibara standing at the door.

The boss told me to just call her "Ai-chan," and to be friendly and gentle.

As for the little boy in the living room, she remembered his name was Conan.

The boss also told us that it was perfectly acceptable to ignore him.

Really.

Shimabukuro Kimie was a little confused. They were all children, so why was the boss's attitude so different?

Chapter 406: They've even resorted to passive-aggressive tactics, haven't they?

"What's wrong, Ai?"

Despite her disguise, Shimabukuro Kimie still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and spoke first.

"It's nothing," Ai Haibara tilted her head, "Are you going to cook with me today?"

Shimabukuro Kimie gently shook her head, "I have something to do at the company later, I need to go there. It's still about '5 Centimeters Per Second,' after all, it's the company's first film, and Tamura and the others feel that there are some details that haven't been perfected."

"so......"

Ai Haibara wasn't disappointed at all, and smiled, saying, "Then let's do it another day. It's been a while since I've had your cooking."

"Ah."

Dr. Agasa couldn't handle moving the experimental equipment by himself, so he had to follow Ai Haibara and the other person away.

Back in the living room, Conan was still looking out the window.

There's still no beginning, so he can only wait.

This is the consequence of having no information at all; everything becomes passive.

Seeing Suzuki Yusuke approach, he withdrew his gaze and made room for him.

Kimie Shimabukuro sat down next to Conan naturally and, as instructed by her boss, tried her best to ignore him.

She knew Conan was a very smart kid.

She had witnessed Conan and Heiji Hattori's behavior on Mermaid Island.

To be honest, Conan's maturity, which far surpasses that of his peers, both amazes and deeply frightens her.

She's currently operating under the identity of a boss, and her true identity could be exposed if she's not careful.

Facing possible punishment from the boss would be secondary; the more critical issue would be if she failed to escape and her disguise was exposed.
