When Yukiko came to her senses, Baimu had already placed her on the bedding in the hotel suite.

Vermouth locked the door, took out a small detector, and searched around the room for any surveillance equipment before quickly walking over and sitting on the other side of Yukiko.

"Although we've checked, it's better for us to speak quietly just in case."

"What do you want to do?" Yukiko couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm telling you the truth."

Vermouth chuckled, took out her phone and placed it on the bedside table, then said with a smile:

"Yukiko, you might have misunderstood something. Sharon and Chris have always been the same person. They've never been mother and daughter. Have you ever seen us two in the same place, at the same time?"

"But…"

Just as she was about to refute, Yukiko suddenly realized that even if there were photos of Chris and Sharon, they were often very far apart, and the two had indeed never been in the same frame.

Moreover, when Chris first appeared in public, she already looked like an adult.

After that, her appearance seems to have remained the same, with only some differences in makeup.

"How is this possible? So, Sister Sharon, you've never died? And you're still pretending to be your daughter?"

"But... why is this?"

He subconsciously reached out his hand and gently pinched her smooth skin, holding his breath for a moment.

No problems, no makeup, real skin, even healthier and younger than her current age.

"That's it."

Vermouth had no intention of hiding anything. The two people present were people she could absolutely trust.

In other words, looking at the whole world, they are the only two people who can be trusted unconditionally.

After thinking about it, he picked up another female mobile phone on the bedside table, slid it to unlock it, and quickly clicked on a video file that was encrypted layer by layer.

Soon, the video began playing at triple speed on the day when Kudo Shinichi met Gin.

Although she often saw Kudo Shinichi in the newspaper, she was not familiar with him. At first, Yukiko was very confused, but when she saw Kudo Shinichi fall to the ground, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"How could it be that he was...?"

After a while, the two men in suits left, and the unconscious Kudo Shinichi began to struggle in pain.

Immediately afterwards, white smoke rose from under the clothes and the body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, I became a primary school student.

This strange and peculiar scene, which could never happen in modern society, left Yukiko stunned for a long time.

"How can this be?"

"Nothing is impossible. This is reality, and it's something that has already happened. Our organization doesn't have a specific name. Every official member uses a wine as their code name. My code name is Absinthe, and you can call me that, too."

"So... everyone in your organization can live forever?" Yukiko's eyes lit up.

Vermouth instantly understood what she was thinking, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at her and said unhappily:

"How can such a good thing happen? This is the first case of Kudo Shinichi."

"Everyone except him died suddenly after taking the potion, and no cause of death could be found."

"Before this, people in the organization used it as poison."

"In other words, only the boss and I know that this drug has the potential to rejuvenate and grant immortality. Even the organization's second-in-command, Rum, only has some speculation."

"So what are you doing now..." Yukiko looked hesitant. She wanted to ask for details but didn't know how to start.

"Don't expect anything like my situation. This is just an accident. It may seem the same as Kudo Shinichi's, but it's actually different."

Vermouth smiled and then said:

"However, the most difficult part of all scientific research is achieving a breakthrough from zero to one."

"Before, I didn't pay much attention to this research, but if you need it, I can take you to meet Shirley, the organization's researcher."

"I'll ask the boss to let me supervise Shirley."

"Or rather, this is a task that only I can accomplish."

"Because twenty years ago, I was used as a test subject by Elena Miyano and her husband. They took blood, sliced ​​my body, analyzed it, and so on. Even though they are long dead, I still hate their daughter."

"So, I've never really wanted to deal with Shirley."

Twenty years ago?

During that period, Sister Sharon seemed to be in a very low mood. She did not take any acting jobs, but just watched the moon with me and drank alone.

Thinking of this, Yukiko couldn't help but hug Vermouth.

"I'm sorry, I haven't asked Sister Sharon about this."

"It doesn't matter. Even if you asked, I couldn't tell you. Besides, just call me Chris. Sharon is technically dead."

"That's right. So... in a few years, are you going to fake your death again and take on a new identity?"

"We'll talk about it later. The scripts have been getting worse over the past two years, and I'm already considering retiring from the film and television industry. As long as I stop performing and disappear from the public eye, there's no need to fake my death."

"That's true."

"Well, it's time to get started."

As she spoke, Vermouth reached out and took off Yukiko's coat.

"??? Why did you suddenly take off my clothes?"

Yukiko, who was left with only a white women's shirt, realized that she had not let her go, so she quickly put her hands in front of her chest.

"What are you doing, Chris?"

"What do you think?" Vermouth chuckled and turned to look at the white curtain. "You didn't enjoy it just now, did you? This time, there will definitely be no problem."

"Wait a minute! What are you talking about? I don't understand anything."

"Don't talk nonsense. You often discussed this with me before."

"Not at all! Besides, that was a private conversation I had with Sister Sharon a long time ago. It has nothing to do with you, Chris."

"Is that so? Anyway, let's go together!"

"Wait a minute! Really wait a minute, I'm different from you, I'm already a 37-year-old old woman..."

Seeing that Vermouth had no intention of stopping, Yukiko, who hadn't objected in her heart, couldn't help but say,

"At least, at least confess your feelings to me first, okay?"

Seeing this, Bai Mu smiled slightly, put his arms around Yukiko's slender waist, and whispered "I like it" in her ear.

In just a moment, Yukiko's stiff body softened.

The atmosphere has already been set by Vermouth, and coupled with Yukiko's ambiguous and hesitant attitude, Baimu naturally cannot let her go here.

The dance clothes sing about marriage, and the Wushan rain is precious.

As the three souls dance, the gap created by 22 years gradually melts away.

Because it was her first time in her life, Yukiko soon couldn't hold on and went from being the main attacker to a spectator.

After a short rest, he returned to the battle.

But after this battle, the relationship between the three became closer, to the point of being inseparable.

Chapter 31 I Absolutely Can't Sleep Here

In the evening, after washing up again, the three of them had dinner in the observation restaurant on the top floor and then went to the car parked downstairs.

However, there was a small disagreement about where to go next.

After learning about the research of Chris's organization and the existence of Shirley, Yukiko couldn't wait to see the current progress of the experiment.

Vermouth, on the other hand, thinks that she should go to Fujimine's house first and help her lover regain his identity.

"Then it's up to you, dear."

"Well…"

Bai Mu glanced at the time on his phone and said thoughtfully:

"Yukiko, it's not even 6 o'clock yet. Are your uncle and aunt home?"

"Dad, he should still be working, right? Mom went to a tea party today at Mrs. Suzuki's invitation."

While speaking, Yukiko suddenly paused, looking worried.

"Mom has attended these kinds of tea parties many times. They're usually preliminary attempts to test the waters before exchanging interests between female relatives of the same social class. Occasionally, they'll discuss things like marriage. Mom won't suddenly arrange a blind date for us, will she?"

"Well... don't worry, Auntie isn't that strong-willed and won't force you."

Vermouth smiled and asked again:

"So, where to go first, dear?"

"In that case, let's go to the research institute first." Bai Mu pondered.

"No problem, I'll call the boss first to get a name."

Vermouth took out a men's cell phone, quickly dialed Karasuma Renya's number, and explained her needs.

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, a voice finally rang out:

"Shirley, your research has been fruitless. Since you want to take responsibility, go ahead and do it. If you run into any trouble, you can destroy all the information to ensure that no news gets out."

"clear."

After ending the call, Vermouth turned to look at the two of them and said with a smile:

"That's it. To the boss, Shirley isn't really important."

"After all, her research has been fruitless. In the eyes of the boss, she's just a kid who inherited her parents' fortune but has no talent and is just hanging around in the organization for free."

"Next, we just need to replace all the people in the institute with our people."

"After that, I can give you a code name. You can think carefully about which wine would be a good code name."

"I want Mary! Bloody Mary! It sounds cool, doesn't it?" Yukiko said without hesitation.

Bai Mu thought for a moment, then said:

"Then I'll... Napoleon. It seems to be the name of a kind of wine."

“But this is also the name of a famous historical figure.” Vermouth looked at the two speechlessly. “When it comes to Marie, most people only think of Queen Marie of Louis XVI. Adding Napoleon to the mix, this is too strange…”

"But this is indeed the name of a wine." Bai Mu laughed unconsciously.

"Alright...alright, I'm really scared of you. When people call you that, you'll only be embarrassed."

After saying this, Vermouth quickly sent two code names in the group chat of the organization's official members, saying that she had recruited two new members and would introduce them to everyone later.

After inviting the two to join the group, he thought about it and immediately made a phone call.

"Kier, I have a new mission for you. Go to 39-5, Beika-cho, and knock out the kid who's staying at the Mori Detective Agency."

"Whatever method you use, draw four tubes of blood from him without him noticing."

"After that, to..."

Vermouth was about to say the name of the pharmaceutical company when Bai Mu suddenly tapped her lips with his finger. Seeing him shake his head slightly, he said:

"I'll send you the meeting address in half an hour."

After the call ended, he asked doubtfully:

"what happened?"

"Kil, whose official name is Rena Mizunashi, is a TV anchorwoman and a codenamed member of the organization. But her real name is Eimi Hondou. Like her father, Ethan Hondou, she is an undercover agent sent by the CIA to the organization."

"Eh…?"

Vermouth was slightly stunned, and then secretly cursed Gin as a waste.

We have been cleaning out undercover agents, so how come we allow undercover agents to become codenamed members?

"I originally thought she had the same personality as Miyano Akemi, but because her personality didn't fit in with the organization, she wasn't taken seriously. I didn't expect that she was actually an undercover agent."

"Her personality is true. She is indeed a kind-hearted old woman. She is not suitable to be an undercover agent at all. Therefore, the CIA does not value her very much and only treats her as a discarded pawn."
