Conan: The Unscientific Uchiha

"Mosimoxi?"

"Vermouth, I have something to talk to you about. Where are you now?"

“Oh——?” Vermouth was very surprised, but after a pause, she responded, “I’m right here at the clinic. If you want to come over, I’ll be closed. If you’re driving, just park your car somewhere else.”

"Well, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Vermouth, who was originally taking a leisurely bath, frowned slightly. Shimizu Koji's attitude was very abnormal, so abnormal that she was actually a little uneasy.

With a few splashes, the lotus emerged from the water, and the white foam covered the key parts of Vermouth's seductive figure. No one could tell how she controlled the slippery foam, but standing in front of the full-length mirror in the bathroom, Vermouth's confidence and frankness were enough to make any woman bow her head in admiration.

Half an hour later, Vermouth, wearing a bathrobe, sat on the swivel leather chair in the consulting room. Her blonde hair was soft and beautiful, her milky white face was as smooth and delicate as snow, and she held a slender ladies' cigarette in her hand. Her expression was indifferent, as if she were a queen high above.

She crossed her legs, revealing a section of her slender, white calf perfectly through the slit of her bathrobe, which was very suggestive and desirable.

Soon, the door opened and Koji Shimizu walked in from the back door of the clinic. He climbed over the wall, and this was also Vermouth's request.

"Are you alone here now? Where are Dr. Shinde's family?"

Koji Shimizu was obviously not attracted by Vermouth's charm, because he was already used to it. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been fortunate enough to see more than half of the hemisphere of the map.

"Family, do you mean his father who died in the bathtub, or his stepmother who is in prison for murder, or his mother-in-law who is now in the hospital because she couldn't bear the shock?"

Shimizu Koji was stunned into silence. He didn't know Dr. Shinde, but he knew that Conan and Maori Kogoro had been here before, so he asked this question. But he didn't expect that this family's experience was really...

No wonder Vermouth chose to disguise herself as this guy. There is no need to make any preparations, just pack your bags and move in.

Nodding, Shimizu Koji sat down in front of Vermouth, on the small stool usually sat on by patients. Vermouth saw this, a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes, and she sat up slightly straighter.

"Tell me, what's wrong with you that you think you need treatment for?"

Koji Shimizu was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He looked at Vermouth in surprise, and then pointed to his lips without hesitation.

"Someone owes me a debt. I don't know if she still remembers it or if she is deliberately not going to acknowledge it."

Vermouth's smile soon froze. She felt a little uncomfortable, which was rare for her. She coughed lightly and tried to hide her embarrassment, but under Shimizu Koji's direct gaze, her carefully painted fiery red lips even felt a burning sensation.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Koji Shimizu: Stare.

But who is Vermouth? She is not a girl like Tie Zhuyu and He Ye who would be defeated in a few moves. She is calm and not moved at all.

Seeing this, Koji Shimizu had no choice but to give up. After all, he really had no confidence in being able to control this woman, Vermouth. Unlike Kil, Vermouth was now his irreplaceable key to open and control the Pandora's box of the organization.

"You know about the school celebration."

"Oh? Of course, I am still in charge of the rehearsal of the drama. What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Vermouth was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that Shimizu Koji came to talk to her about this.

But then, what Shimizu Koji said directly shocked her heart.

"Then I guess you've already seen the cast list. Kudo Shinichi, the guy who was supposed to be dead, has reappeared on the cast list. Vermouth, what do you think about this?"

Koji Shimizu took the trouble to come to Vermouth, of course not to collect debts, but to clean up the mess for Conan.

Originally, if Conan followed that approach, Vermouth would not notice it, but there would be another risk. That is, after Vermouth saw Kudo Shinichi suddenly appear, things might get out of control.

That is why Koji Shimizu planned to have Kudo Shinichi appear on the list of cast members openly. The purpose, of course, was to test Vermouth's attitude first.

Anyway, it's just a name now, and no matter how Vermouth reacts, they will not lose anything. But if Conan follows his original plan, Vermouth will call Gin at that time, and then Teitan's school anniversary party will probably turn into a terrorist gathering.

Seeing that Vermouth didn't say anything, Shimizu Koji asked further: "Should we arrest his childhood sweetheart, Mao Lilan, and interrogate her?"

Vermouth glanced at Shimizu Koji suddenly, then quickly looked away. The murderous intent in her eyes flashed away quickly, and the cigarette that she was originally smoking leisurely was directly extinguished in the ashtray.

Of course, Koji Shimizu didn't know all this. He was a loyal subordinate who had accompanied Vermouth for several months despite all her persuasion, but compared to Ran Mouri, he was worthless.

Chapter 494: Frank Meeting

In fact, Vermouth had only discovered that Kudo Shinichi appeared on the list of performers for the drama one day, and she had never expected that Shimizu Koji, a lazy guy who didn't participate in any activities at the school anniversary party, could actually notice such a detail. It was hard for her not to be surprised.

But no matter how surprised he was, the current issue, of course, was to put Shimizu Koji off the subject first.

Yes, that's right, prevarication.

Koji Shimizu came to test Vermouth, and Vermouth also planned to fool Koji Shimizu. In a sense, they have the same goal.

"As for Mao Lilan, I remember that you had a pretty good relationship with her. You are not here to test me, are you?"

Vermouth chuckled, and her aura slowly relaxed.

Shimizu Koji's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "This is another matter. The organization's affairs are more important, especially since this is one of the few fatal stains on Gin."

"Oh? So you're planning to use Kudo Shinichi as a bargaining chip to harm Gin?"

"Don't you think so, Vermouth?"

Koji Shimizu blinked in confusion. He looked like a small-minded boy with a strong desire for revenge, but who did not quite understand the twists and turns of the adult world and power games.

Vermouth saw his reaction clearly, and she felt relieved. Of course, Shimizu Koji could not be loyal to the organization, but if he was doing it to get Gin, then it made sense.

Fortunately, Shimizu Koji was one of her own people who had been trained. Now that she understood Shimizu Koji's purpose, she could actually speak frankly.

Vermouth doesn't believe that Shimizu Koji really thinks like he says. You know, Shimizu Koji still lives in Kudo's house. She won't deliberately investigate, but she is not blind.

"Okay, put away your little thoughts. I don't really care about Kudo Shinichi's matter."

"Gin is Gin. He has nothing to do with us. You are trying to make a fuss about Kudo Shinichi's incident, but it gives him a chance to make up for his mistakes."

Vermouth paused, looked into Shimizu Koji's eyes earnestly, and continued to teach: "Sometimes, instead of doing small actions like reporting and exposing, it would be more effective to wait for the problem to be exposed passively."

Vermouth said this very sincerely, and Shimizu Koji also completely understood what she meant, which is that instead of being caught by Kudo Shinichi now when he has not done anything, it is better to wait until Kudo Shinichi has done something big, preferably something that is detrimental to the organization, and then be noticed by the boss directly. At that time, Gin will be really in trouble.

But the premise of all this is that Koji Shimizu really wants to take revenge on Gin and make things difficult for him, and in fact, Koji Shimizu is just saying this now.

Of course, it is undeniable that if he has the chance, he will definitely deal with Gin, not for himself, but for his own Shiho and Akemi.

If Gin is obedient in the future and is willing to be his dog, that would be fine. If he is not obedient, Shimizu Koji does not think that there is a shortage of hardworking oxen and horses in the world, and he can just find a stronger replacement.

Now, the only thing that Koji Shimizu cares about about the organization is those guys lurking underwater and hiding in dark corners, rum, bourbon, tequila, curacao, etc., and the final boss.

There is no doubt that for Koji Shimizu now, the organization is no longer his only choice, because things have changed too fast recently. The favor of the two young ladies, Suzuki Ayako and Tetsu Moroha, has made him taste the sweetness of living off others for the first time.

With the help of the two top chaebols, in fact, to a large extent, as long as he does not do something as stupid as assassinating the Prime Minister of Japan or the President of the United States in front of the media, basically no one can do anything to him. The organization has now become an available option, not the only choice.

Therefore, Koji Shimizu dared to be so bold and unrestrained in his treatment of Kiel, not only because Kiel was an undercover agent, but also because he had enough confidence.

Therefore, Shimizu Koji's current attitude towards the organization is that if possible, he will treat it as a black card; if not, he will smash it and completely wipe it out. No matter what choice he makes, the unavoidable premise is that he must find all the core members of the organization one by one to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

"oh, I understand now."

Seeing Shimizu Koji nod, Vermouth also showed a gratified look. After hesitating for a moment, she continued in a chatty tone:

"Actually, regarding Kudo Shinichi, his mother and I have a good relationship. We can be called friends. So, I am still a little concerned about the fact that Gin killed Kudo Shinichi."

The reason why people are people is that they are independent individuals with their own feelings and lives, not machines.

Koji Shimizu was quite surprised by Vermouth's sudden confession, and one of the reasons was that he really didn't know that Vermouth was actually related to Yukiko.

The reason why Vermouth told Koji Shimizu was because Koji Shimizu was her own person whom she brought into the organization. Otherwise, Koji Shimizu would not even have the qualifications to sit here.

You see, Calvados, who had been running around for her, was sent directly to the United States to carry out a mission after all his hard work, and he might not be able to come back for a month or so.

"You, are friends with Yukiko?" Koji Shimizu thought for a moment and asked directly.

Vermouth nodded, then stood up and took out a bottle of red wine and two crystal glasses from the medical refrigerator behind her.

"Why, do you know Yukiko too? Yes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to live in that room. Oh, yes, it seems like I asked Yukiko about it a long time ago, I can't quite remember."

"Well, she's at my house now. No, she's at her house."

"Oh?" Vermouth was stunned. Obviously, she didn't know that Yukiko had returned to her country, let alone that she was living in Beika Town.

While they were talking, two glasses of red wine were poured. Shimizu Koji didn't hesitate to pick up one glass and drank it all in one gulp. He even forgot that he came by car.

"She came back suddenly and kicked me out of the house~~." Shimizu Koji shrugged, his tone relaxed and humorous.

Vermouth also heard something. What Shimizu Koji said undoubtedly meant that he knew Yukiko and they had a good relationship.

She blinked, took a sip of red wine, and her expression became half-smile, very charming.

"So, you really came here to test me today, right?"

"Well, I guess so. Of course, if I knew you had such a relationship with Yukiko, I wouldn't have come." Shimizu Koji shrugged and became very frank.

Since there are only the two of them here, there is no need to hide anything.

Even if he said he wanted to kill the boss, um, that wouldn't work. Koji Shimizu still didn't quite understand the relationship between Vermouth and the boss. If he killed Gin, yes, if he killed Gin, Vermouth would definitely not say anything.

Chapter 495 Bite back

What Shimizu Koji didn't expect was that Vermouth didn't react at all, and didn't mention Kudo Shinichi at all. Instead, she changed the subject and asked him, "You and Mao Lilan are friends, right? Why did you say that just now? If I really agree, will you really capture her and let me torture her?"

Vermouth looked very calm, with just a hint of curiosity in her eyes, nothing else. However, Koji Shimizu had an intuition telling him that this might be the most dangerous problem today.

"Of course not. I'm just asking. If you agree, I will let Uncle Maori take his daughter to travel and seek refuge."

Vermouth's eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unclear whether she felt it was appropriate or not satisfied, but in any case, she did not continue to dwell on this issue, but revealed a hint of reminiscence and spoke softly.

"Since it's you, Koji, there are some things that I can tell you."

First of all, Koji Shimizu and Ran Mouri are friends, and secondly, Koji Shimizu is her man, so, considering the two factors, Vermouth made this decision.

Her purpose, of course, was not simply to tell Koji Shimizu a story, but to further deepen the relationship between her and Koji Shimizu, and at the same time, to better protect Xiaolan.

It would undoubtedly be more appropriate to leave this matter to Shimizu Koji, who is good at fighting and has always been rooted in the Teitan campus, rather than her, who might start running around again at any time.

"It was during an undercover mission in New York. I accidentally exposed myself and was pursued by the FBI."

"FBI?"

"Yes, they were a group of troublesome guys. At least they caused me a lot of trouble at the time. When I was escaping, I climbed up a staircase, but when I reached the middle platform, I missed a step because I didn't see the ground clearly. Down below was a stone slab a hundred feet high."

"There is no doubt that if I had fallen down, I would have turned into a pile of ashes by now." Vermouth laughed at herself. It was a very rare expression on her face.

This also makes her, who is usually indifferent, more distinct with a hint of true femininity, rather than a rose with thorns that scares people away.

"You should have guessed it. Yes, at that time, I was saved by Mao Lilan. She knew that I was a dangerous person, but she still resolutely reached out her hand to hold me. Just a moment ago, I was fiercely asking her to get out of the way and almost knocked her down."

Koji Shimizu said nothing, but as he listened to Vermouth's statement, he had already imagined the scene in his mind. Combined with Xiaolan's personality, yes, this was indeed something Xiaolan could do.

After Vermouth finished speaking, she fell into a brief silence. Shimizu Koji sighed and said with emotion: "So there is such a thing. No wonder, sometimes I find that there is something wrong with the way you look at Xiaolan."

"I thought."

"Why?" Vermouth asked curiously.

"I thought you were targeting her, and you were attracted by her karate talent and strength, and wanted her to join the organization."

Koji Shimizu was not just talking nonsense, he really thought about it. Of course, this absurd idea only stayed in his mind for a few seconds.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth couldn't help but smile, shook her head and made no comment.

"I'm telling you this not just because of what you said to me today, Koji. I hope that if I leave here, you can continue to protect her safety."

"The reason why I chose to disguise myself as Dr. Shinde and come to Teitan was, first, to investigate your situation, and second, to meet Xiaolan and protect her. Because if someone in the organization suddenly wants to investigate Kudo Shinichi's social relationships, then they can only let me carry out such a task."

Vermouth is quite outspoken. Her behavior is, in a sense, a betrayal of the organization, but Koji Shimizu feels that this is probably nothing to Vermouth.

For example, he had heard some previous news from Gil. The reason why Vermouth was hated by Gin, and sometimes they were even enemies, was because Vermouth often relied on her relationship with the boss to act recklessly (as Mizunashi Rena said), and many times she turned a deaf ear to Gin's words, and even openly opposed him.

"I didn't expect that you, Vermouth, are in darkness but still have your heart towards the light~." Shimizu Koji did not express his opinion directly, but instead teased in a relaxed tone.

Vermouth smiled faintly upon hearing this, and reached out to add another half glass of red wine to him, "What is darkness and what is light? In fact, Koji, you may not know that the original intention of the organization was just to research a drug that can prolong people's lifespan. This should be considered a kind of light for mankind, right?"

"However, such bright things are too dazzling and sensitive. Under various pressures, the organization had to turn from open to dark, had to recruit those internationally wanted criminals to strengthen itself, and had to obtain more funds through some illegal means."

Vermouth seemed to be a little emotional, but Koji Shimizu saw a hint of resentment in her bright eyes.

"come over."

Vermouth suddenly leaned back in her seat, crossed her legs, looked charming, and waved to Shimizu Koji.

Koji Shimizu was a little confused, but looking at Vermouth's eyes, he felt a little expectant. Sure enough, as soon as he approached, Vermouth stretched out her arms and hooked them around his neck.

With a strong pull, Shimizu Koji bent down and lay on top of her, but Vermouth's expression did not show any shyness, and there was even some obvious disappointment in her eyes.

She gently touched Qingshui Koji's lips with her red lips, and then let go before Qingshui Koji could react, and came to his ear and whispered softly:

"Kouji-kun, be careful of those international organizations and those people of unknown origin, especially women, because not every woman is as gentle and kind as me."
