Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

"Vodka, Chianti!" Gin gave Vodka and Chianti a look when he saw that they were about to start arguing.

The two then calmed down.

Seeing this farce, Vermouth burst out laughing.

Gin's gaze shifted to her: "Vermouth, what about Sherry? Haven't you found any clues yet?"

She shrugged, saying helplessly, "No, finding a needle in a haystack is easier said than done."

Gin said coldly, "The organization can't wait much longer. If you don't make any progress, the organization will send someone else to carry out this mission."

"I see."

Of course, this matter would not come to a conclusion, and Vermouth could roughly guess who the organization would send.

Then she stood up and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Gin didn't answer.

"If not, I'll be going now."

Ignoring everyone else, Vermouth left the bar on her own.

The others were already used to it, but Chianti was furious.

……

Vermouth sat in her car, lit a cigarette, and gazed into the distance.

"It's time to stir up this mess..."

Chapter 267 Maturity Inconsistent with Physical Ability

In the following days, Vermouth no longer concealed her identity and made high-profile appearances in various public occasions.

Finally, when Vermouth went out that day, she was surrounded by a large group of reporters.

"Miss Chris, why did you suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear in Japan?"

"Miss Chris, are you retiring from the entertainment industry?"

"Miss Chris, do you have a boyfriend?"

There is something even more outrageous -

"Miss Chris, did you secretly go to give birth during your disappearance?"

……

Various long guns and short cannons were set up in front of Vermouth.

After all, Chris Vineyard, as a big star, keeps her private life very private.

Aside from making movies, this was her first appearance in front of the media, at her mother Sharon Vineyard's funeral.

Chris Vineyard's sudden disappearance and subsequent reappearance in Japan have naturally attracted considerable media attention.

Vermouth first gestured for the chattering reporters to stop, then said:

"First, let me publicly announce that I will be taking a break from acting for a while. Second, I'm only in Japan for a vacation. Finally, please make way for me..."

After saying that, Vermouth pushed aside several reporters on the side and quickly left.

The reporters weren't annoyed; instead, they were excited because Chris Vineyard, who had reportedly ignored all media interviews the last time she appeared in public, actually responded this time.

……

News about Chris Vineyard quickly appeared on television.

The Kudo family.

Yukiko Fujimine had just finished applying a face mask and walked into the living room when Conan asked:

"Mom, isn't this Chris Vineyard the daughter of your friend Sharon Vineyard?"

Upon hearing the names Chris and Sharon, Yukiko Fujimine rushed to the television to confirm that it was indeed Chris.

"Yes, I didn't expect Chris to actually come to Japan!"

Yukiko Fujimine was quite pleased. She had a good relationship with Sharon and her daughter, although Chris and Sharon didn't get along very well.

"No, I have to contact her."

As she spoke, Yukiko Fujimine found her phone and called Chris.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey Chris, I saw the news. I didn't expect you to be in Tokyo too!"

Vermouth asked, "Yukiko, so you've gone back to Tokyo?"

"Yes, Chris, where are you staying now? I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"I might as well come find you."

“Okay, I live at 2-21 Beikacho.”

……

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

Conan, with his deadpan expression, whispered, "Are you that happy?"

Yukiko Fujimine rolled her eyes at Conan: "Of course, I only have a few good friends."

Then he added, "Shinichi, you should go out and play with your friends too!"

Since Conan moved out of the Mouri Detective Agency, the three kids have come to ask him to go out and play more than once, but he was in a bad mood and refused them all.

"What's so fun about playing with little kids!" Conan scoffed.

Yukiko Fujimine comforted her, "Don't worry, if Ai Haibara recovers successfully, I'll ask Taki for the antidote for you!"

Although Conan was a little annoyed by how affectionately Fujimine Yukiko called Kitagawa Taki, he couldn't say anything at the moment.

Even though Fujimine Yukiko was considering his affairs, he still made irresponsible remarks. I guess Fujimine Yukiko will throw a tantrum at him again.

If Ai Haibara really returns to her original form, she certainly won't have the nerve to ask Kitagawa Taki for the antidote, so she can only rely on Fujimine Yukiko.

Of course, he still hoped to obtain the antidote through his own efforts and the black-clad organization, without having to ask anyone for help!

Thinking of this, Conan clenched his fist...

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

London.

Inside an apartment.

A girl with short black hair and a little girl with short blonde hair and a tuft of spiral curls on her forehead are watching the news on TV.

The short-haired girl asked, "Mom, is she that person?"

The blonde girl squinted slightly, staring intently at Chris Vineyard on the television screen, and uttered a mature voice that belied her appearance: "That's right, it's her!"

The blonde loli is none other than Akai Mary, who was given the drug A by Vermouth, while the short-haired girl is her daughter, Sera Masumi.

Because Vermouth did not conceal her true appearance when she fed Mary Akai the medicine.

So she quickly learned after escaping that Vermouth was actually the American superstar Chris Vineyard.

But when she tried to investigate, she discovered that Chris had vanished without a trace, and no one knew where she was.

Even today, I saw news of Chris appearing in Japan on television.

"Masumi, it looks like we have to go to Japan."

Mary Akai coughed twice as she spoke.

Sera Masumi looked at Akai Mary with concern and said, "Mom, why don't you stay in England?"

Ever since the day Akai Mary's body shrank, her health has been poor, and she coughs frequently.

Mary Akai knew what Sera Masumi was worried about, but how could she let her go on such a risk alone? She waved her hand and said, "I'm fine."

Then she murmured, "The only problem is, do those people know what the drug does..."

Sera Masumi spoke for her, saying what she hadn't said: "If they know the effects of the drug, this could very well be a trap!"

Mary Akai sighed and said, "But we have no other choice."

Some time after the incident, they went to another hospital for a checkup.

However, no problems were found during the examination.

This also dashed their hopes of finding a way to restore things to their original state on their own.

Now that Chris has reappeared, it has become an opportunity they absolutely cannot miss.

Whether it's a trap or not, we have to go and try.

"Then I'll book the tickets first." Sera Masumi started operating on her phone.

Mary Akai's identity problem was naturally resolved long ago; she used her connections to forge a false identity, and to the outside world, she was Sera Masumi's younger sister.

“We can start with her address.” Mary Akai searched for information about Chris online and found that paparazzi had actually found out Chris’s specific address.

Sera Masumi nodded and said, "Then Mom, you shouldn't show up first; I'll do it."

From her previous probing with Vermouth, Mary Akai already knew that the organization was unaware that she had a daughter.

Therefore, having Sera Masumi step in is the best choice.

Chapter 268 Vermouth: This is all I can do for you.

The Kudo family.

Yukiko Fujimine pulled Vermouth, who had just arrived, to sit down on the sofa, while Conan sat at the other end.

Vermouth looked at Conan and teased, "Yukiko, did you secretly have another one?"

Yukiko Fujimine waved her hand with a smile: "No, he's a relative's child, staying with me. His name is Conan."

"I see. What about your son?" Vermouth asked Shinichi Kudo next. "He seems to be quite famous in Japan!"
