Conan Rick's Investigator

"Because if I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't be here today, and you wouldn't be able to provide us with important information that could bring down the organization, right?"

"And after the incident on the full moon, didn't you call to remind me and Huiyuan that the organization's 'Michael' was about to take action?"

"So, I think you are still kind deep down in your heart..."

Conan tilted his head back, a smile on his face, and looked sincerely at Vermouth lying on the hospital bed.

Seeing the innocent face of her godson, Vermouth was stunned, and it seemed as if something fragile in her heart was loosening.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing next to him, noticed that Vermouth's expression was shaken and he felt a little excited.

It turns out that sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

But the next second, Vermouth still struggled and shook her head.

"no……"

"Forgive me for not being able to do this, cool guy..."

"I can't betray the organization no matter what."

Vermouth's voice was trembling slightly.

Seeing Vermouth's sudden change in attitude, Qin Zhibo immediately realized that Vermouth still had something to hide.

Her attitude toward the organization seems to be somewhere between loyalty and disloyalty.

Loyalty means that she must obey the orders of the boss of the organization.

Disloyalty means that she does not resist Conan's attitude of investigating the organization thoroughly, and may even hope that the organization will be overthrown.

There must be a reason for this tangled attitude.

"Vermouth, have you been threatened by the organization in some way?"

"Is it family?"

Qin Zhibo guessed almost subconsciously.

Although for a killer like Vermouth who came from an organization, it is hard to imagine that she would have a family or have any feelings for her family.

But from her attitude towards Conan, we can still find a clue.

Perhaps the dark cloak was a protective color she developed in the organization.

And when Qin Zhibo mentioned "family", Vermouth's eyes flickered slightly.

Qin Zhibo immediately realized that he was right, so he continued to ask: "Parents?"

Vermouth remained indifferent.

"husband?"

Vermouth remained indifferent.

"child?"

Vermouth's eyes flickered.

Catching this subtle expression, Qin Zhibo knew he was right.

Previous investigations have shown that Vermouth's real age is 49. If she had children of her own, they would be at least in their twenties now.

In other words, Vermouth does have her own children.

Because once in a conversation between Vermouth and the "boss of the organization", she was called "the mother of the child".

It has long been an indisputable fact that Vermouth is a mother.

"If the organization is using your child to coerce you, we will also try our best to rescue your child during this operation."

"Or do you want your children to be under the control of the organization for their entire lives?"

Hearing Qin Zhibo's words, a sad smile appeared on Vermouth's lips.

"child?"

"I don't even know what she looks like..."

"Haven't you seen your child?" Conan stepped forward and asked.

Vermouth shook her head slightly.

"Any clues about her?"

"No……"

Vermouth's eyes were melancholy and her expression was blurred. "The only clue I know about my daughter is that she was born 25 years ago..."

Vermouth's life story is not entirely false.

She did enter the entertainment industry at the age of 19 and married her ideal person outside the industry at the age of 22.

However, the last name of this outsider is Kuroiwa.

"My husband is actually a member of the organization's boss's family..."

"At that time, I didn't know about the existence of the organization. I just married him and gave birth to a child."

"It was only after I gave birth to the child that everything suddenly changed..."

"Our children were taken away by the organization, and my husband was killed by the organization because he did not obey its arrangements."

"I also had to join the organization to have a chance to be reunited with my daughter one day."

Vermouth's expression seemed calm, but her eyes suppressed some ordinary people's emotions.

That is an emotion called "maternal love".

Qin Zhibo and Conan already knew the pattern that Vermouth described.

The family members of the organization's boss will be forced to find a suitable marriage partner from outside to ensure the overall strength of the family.

Under this tough order, there will inevitably be rebels like Conan's grandfather and Vermouth's husband.

"What happened after that? Have you tried to find your daughter's whereabouts?" Conan continued to ask tentatively.

"I looked for it, but it was impossible to find it..."

Vermouth's voice revealed a deep sense of powerlessness. "The organization is a huge and tight network. Everyone living in the organization must be wary of the surveillance of people around them. I can't do anything out of line."

"But 19 years ago, when I was participating in a drug trial organized by my organization, I met the woman who delivered me in the hospital that day..."

"Her code name in the organization is 'Shirley'."

Shirley?

When Conan heard this code name, his face was shocked and he was secretly confused.

Isn’t this Haibara Ai’s code name in the organization?

How could it appear 19 years ago?

Just as Conan was about to ask what was going on, Qin Zhibo next to him reminded him: "The organization's code name can be inherited from other people."

Qin Zhibo turned to look at Vermouth and said seriously: "The 'Shirley' you are talking about should be Miyano Elena, right?"

"Yes, that woman."

"She was also the woman who delivered me in the hospital that day."

"When I saw her again, she readily admitted it and told me that my child was being taken care of by the boss and that I didn't need to worry..."

Vermouth's eyes flashed with memories.

From then on, in order to get close to the boss and see her daughter one day, she began to work harder for the organization and became one of the boss's most beloved family members.

However, she also secretly hated Elena Miyano in her heart.

This is also the reason why she tried her best to hunt down Elena Miyano's daughter "Little Shirley" when she learned that she had defected from the organization.

She wanted to take revenge on the woman who stole her child in the same way.

Chapter 1502: Best Friend

After hearing about Vermouth's life story, Qin Zhibo and Conan fell into silence for a long time.

Although feeling pity for the enemy is the most foolish behavior, her experience is indeed worthy of some sympathy.

As for the authenticity of what she said, Qin Zhibo believed it should be true.

Because Vermouth doesn't know that Conan's life experience is somewhat similar to hers. Both are children born to excellent spouses found outside by family members of the organization.

The difference is that Conan's grandfather used himself and his eldest son to stabilize the boss of the organization, thereby protecting his younger son and allowing his wife to raise Kudo Yusaku normally.

"How many family members are there in the organization's boss's family?" Qin Zhibo asked at this time.

Vermouth shook her head slightly. "I don't know, because the organization's structure is very large, even people from the same family may not know each other."

"The only other family member I know of is Kurosawa Jin..."

"That is the gin you all know."

Gin's real name is Kurosawa Jin, which Qin Zhibo has known for a long time.

Qin Zhibo had made the same guess before, after learning about the origins of the Karasuma family.

This time it was also confirmed by Vermouth.

Conan, who was standing lower, was so shocked that his eyes widened when he heard that Gin's real identity was a family member of the organization's boss.

My grandfather is a member of the organization's boss's family, and so is Gin...

Doesn’t this mean that Gin and I are cousins?

However, Conan had long since gotten over the fact that he was related to the boss of the organization, so he quickly restrained his expression and asked calmly.

"What exactly is the organization's ultimate plan?"

"You once said something to Itakura Taku on the phone, right? What was the real meaning of that?"

Vermouth lowered her head and looked at Conan, especially the latter's serious little face. After hesitating for a moment, her lips still opened slightly.

"It is to reshape this world..."

"The boss has always wanted to build a new world that meets his ideals, and has been preparing for this for a century, or even longer."

"As for the meaning of that sentence, I don't know either... because the boss said that to me personally, and he didn't explain the specific meaning to me."

Conan looked a little disappointed as he didn't get a definite answer from Vermouth.

Qin Zhibo put himself in the old man's shoes and thought about it. What else would an old man who has understood the mysteries of this world and lived for hundreds of years want?

Power, wealth, women, longevity...

For Karasuma Renya, all of this has been achieved.

Just like many villains in movies and TV dramas, their ultimate wish is to change the existing order and create an ideal new world.

It's just that the means are different.

……

Next, Qin Zhibo, Kuroda Heiwei and others interrogated Vermouth.

Since Vermouth knows too many secrets of the organization, we can only interrogate her about the most critical parts.

For example, the ship that carries a lot of the organization's secrets.

Vermouth's answer was that although she knew about the ship and had stayed in the laboratory on the ship for some time, she did not know where the ship was currently.

Therefore, not to mention that the boss of the organization was planning to launch a plan against Japan in collaboration with other pagan organizations, she didn't even know that Haibara Ai was captured by the organization.

In this case, the only information that could help organize the plan to attack Japan was the information provided by Binga.

As dawn approached, Pacific Buoy organized the intelligence currently at hand, packaged it and sent it to Kudo Yusaku.

Kudo Yusaku, who was far away in Tokyo, was relieved when he learned that after a whole night of fighting, the Pacific Buoy had captured two important members of the organization and successfully preserved the Pacific Buoy.

Sitting at his desk all night without sleeping, Kudo Yusaku turned to the window. As the sun rose slowly, the steel jungle called "Tokyo" was gradually covered with a golden coat.

"All right……"

"It's our turn..."
