“I’ve never heard of this name before.” Ai Haibara sat curled up on the sofa. “Besides, I don’t know much about alcohol.”

“It’s a wine produced in Italy,” Conan jumped off the sofa. “Vermouth is its English name. In Japan, it’s usually called Vermouth, you know?”

Although Ai Haibara managed to control her expression immediately, Conan still noticed something amiss from the change in her eyes.

"I knew it. It seems you recognize this name. This person must be an accomplice of those men in black."

Professor Agasa became nervous, but Conan remained relaxed.

He tossed the invitation onto the table. "This is probably a trap. I don't know if they're fully prepared or if they've simply given up waiting."

"However, you'll never know if you don't go."

"No, you can't go!"

Ai Haibara's attitude was very firm this time, "This is clearly a trap, you'll be killed if you go!"

She had already prepared two antidotes, so theoretically, this time the medicine wouldn't cause the kind of side effects that come with a severe cold; it would be a true recovery!

There is still time to prepare. With proper planning, we will definitely be able to launch a counterattack.

Even if things go wrong, at least the two of them can still appear in their original forms. After escaping, the organization will naturally stop focusing on the two children.

As for Yusuke...

The other party has an organized identity and is openly associated with the Suzuki family. If the involvement becomes too obvious, it could become a real problem.

She had it all planned out: the original body would make a brief appearance, shrink back down, and then run back. That would be more than enough to protect herself, without having to take any risks like what Shinichi Kudo was thinking of now.

However, things are unpredictable, and an anesthetic needle had already been inserted into her body.

The figures of Conan and Professor Agasa in front of her were rapidly blurring, and she could only vaguely hear Conan talking to himself.

"Hmm, perhaps that's true, but as I said last time, I've already prepared myself for the life-or-death situation."

Before Dr. Agasa could stop her, he could only step forward and help Ai Haibara to her feet. "Shinichi, you don't need to do this..."

“I’m sorry, Ai,” Conan looked out the window, “If things continue like this, I’ll never make any progress.”

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Professor Agasa was a little annoyed. "Is it really okay for you to leave Ai behind and then leave on your own?"

Conan pointed to the invitation on the table. "Doctor, look for yourself. This invitation sent to your house has 'Shinichi Kudo' written on the envelope, but the letterhead begins with 'Conan Edogawa'."

"This...Shinichi, could it be..."

“That’s right, things have been exposed.” Conan still looked confident, but the beads of sweat running down his brow betrayed his inner tension. “The fact that they were able to send a letter like this here means that my and Ai’s identities have been discovered.”

"I am Shinichi Kudo, the one whose body shrunk after drinking APTX-4869."

"But since they already knew, why didn't they just come here directly?"

"I don't know about that."

At that moment, Conan's cell phone started vibrating.

He picked it up and opened it; the screen was filled with hearts forming an 'OK'.

Heiji, I'm sorry to trouble you again.

His mother happened to be there too, so it's hard not to say that this was a blessing from heaven.

This time, he's determined to settle things with that organization once and for all!

Cross-sea bridge.

"Vodka, it's fine if you want to drive faster."

Upon hearing this, Vodka chuckled sheepishly, "Big brother, at this hour, I think Wei Que must be quite hungry."

"Huh, that guy."

Gin looked at the red glow reflected on the sea below the bridge. "The investigation in Curaçao is progressing quickly; so far, no problems have been found."

Vodka didn't want to show too much emotion, so he continued to focus on driving.

After a while, Gin suddenly continued, "There's a Halloween party tomorrow, you should go."

Vodka: "???"

Why would he go to that kind of party?

"It's going to be held at that port tomorrow night at seven o'clock," Gin said, pointing in a direction with his chin. "Vermouth will be there too."

Upon hearing this name, Vodka couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then he heard Gin continue, "The higher-ups want us to investigate the inside story. She suddenly reported Wei Que, but so far we haven't found anything."

"Moreover, I am now very disgusted by that woman's mysterious ways, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't have permission."

“If she dares to do anything strange, I will never let her off, even if she is very popular with that person.”

At this moment, Gin's fierce aura suddenly became fully unleashed.

Chapter 408 At worst, I'll just get a beating.

"Wei Que, I've brought you some food."

Vodka knocked on the door first, and then opened the viewing window.

If Suzuki Yusuke hadn't stood up after a few seconds, he would have thought that Wei Que had starved to death.

"Thank you very much."

Yusuke Suzuki took the lunchboxes one by one, saying, "You really know what I like to eat."

Vodka just smiled sheepishly and didn't say anything more.

After delivering the package, he left.

I need to think about how to sneak into tomorrow's Halloween party.

The first issue is identity.

Gin has already arranged for people to find suitable targets, so he doesn't need to worry about it himself.

As for what makeup look she'll wear...

This needs to be carefully considered.

Speaking of which, how do you deal with makeup?

Vodka stopped and looked back.

Then I'll trouble Weique.

Wei Que's disguise skills are so good that, in his opinion, they are no less than those of Vermouth. Putting on a ghost makeup would be a piece of cake for him.

As for Wei Que, he is still under investigation...

Cough cough, he felt there was no problem, he could just talk to his older brother later.

In the monitoring room, Yusuke Suzuki ate something while looking through emails.

It's the same as before.

Aside from Kiichiro Numabuchi mentioning 'his' past.

Based on past experience, when Yusuke Suzuki personally went there, the people of Sheep Village were given the day off.

Even if things don't go well, you can still take a break for a while.

However, this time, such treatment was not given, which puzzled Numabuchi Kiichiro a little, so he casually asked about it.

Considering the task he had assigned to Kimie Shimabukuro, Yusuke Suzuki simply made up a very practical reason to explain.

Anyway, Shimabukuro Kimie never stayed for very long each time she went there after that.

During his meal, he sent a text message to Ai Haibara and received a reply saying that he would be doing experiments until evening.

The monitoring room was small and there was no room to move around, so Suzuki Yusuke had to lie down after finishing his meal.

...

Dr. A Li's house.

Conan, his hands trembling, sent the text message using Ai Haibara's phone. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yusuke Suzuki's reply, "Yeah, don't stay up too late."

After wiping the cold sweat that had involuntarily beaded on his forehead, Conan still felt lingering fear.

If this gets brought up again in the future...

The consequences were predictable.

So what if I get a beating?

Conan quickly figured it out.

It's not like we haven't been through it before.

Could Suzuki Yusuke really hurt him badly?

After carefully placing the phone back next to Ai Haibara's pillow, he checked again to make sure there were no hidden tracking glasses in the room.

That's it.

Food, water, and other necessities were all prepared and set aside.

Haibara, you should just stay at the professor's house. Maybe when you wake up, I'll have taken care of everything.

After closing the door, Conan looked at Professor Agasa and said, "Professor, you can start preparing now. I'm going back to my house to take a look."

Is there a problem at your home?

After thinking it over, Conan felt there was no point in hiding it anymore, since Professor Agasa would find out anyway, so he said directly, "Actually, my mom is back."

"Yukiko's back!?"

"Well, I'll go first."

five minutes later.

Conan pushed away Yukiko Kudo, who was clinging to him tightly, with all his might, and said speechlessly, "Let's get down to business!"

"Okay, go ahead," Yukiko Kudo said, still with a playful and cute expression. "I'll listen carefully."

"Really..."
