"Do you want me dead? Come on, I know I can't escape your grasp!"
Knowing she was no match for Cao Yu, Vermouth gave up struggling and lay sprawled on the bed with a stern face.
Having just fought for several hours, she was already exhausted.
"How could I bear to kill a top-quality mount like you so easily? I can spare you, but you have to help me invite Fujimine Yukiko to Japan."
Cao Yu immediately lost interest and suddenly remembered the oath he had taken in the detention center.
As a person, you must keep your word!
He said he would be Conan's sugar daddy and steal away the girl he loves most, and he has to keep his word.
Ran Mouri has lived in an island nation for a long time and is not in a hurry.
But the most pressing issue right now is getting Yukiko Fujimine back to Japan after she went to the United States with Yusaku Kudo.
"Hmph, I thought you were willing to part with it!"
Vermouth, like parched land receiving rain, was already impressed by Cao Yu's power and subconsciously developed unusual feelings for him.
“Okinawa is about to host a film and opera festival week. The musical ‘Golden Apple,’ which was forced to be canceled last year because of your appearance, will be postponed for a year to premiere. I think Yukiko Fujimine will definitely not miss it.”
Golden Apple?
Looking at Vermouth leaning against the headboard, Cao Yu's thoughts were somewhat disorganized.
He remembered that related information had appeared in the Detective Conan storyline.
Judging from the timeline, it must have been a year ago when Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri were invited by Yukiko Fujimine to visit New York and made plans to see the Broadway musical "Golden Apple".
And in the end, Ran Mouri even saved Vermouth's life.
"Wait, let me sort this out. My appearance caused the performance to be canceled... By the way, what does that have to do with me?"
Cao Yu was filled with questions and couldn't figure out the reason.
All things considered, he has only been in the Detective Conan world for three months, so it's impossible for him to have affected the plot from a year ago.
"Are you really confused or just pretending to have amnesia? Take a good look. A year ago, you killed more than ten people, causing widespread panic. Under pressure, the New York government issued a ban, canceling all large-scale performances and celebrations last year."
Vermouth used her phone to find relevant news reports and handed them to Cao Yu.
Depend on!
The system tricked me again!
After reading the news report from a year ago, Cao Yu felt like slapping the system twice across the face.
The identity they gave him was that of a serial killer, and the victims included judges and police officers in New York.
It's likely that the system did this on purpose, wanting to see him being chased all over the world by the FBI.
According to Cao Yu's speculation, there is only one reason for the plot change: in order to make his identity more realistic, the system secretly made a small modification to the original plot, causing the relevant plot to be delayed by a year and the location to be changed.
Just like when a new character appears in a game, the entire game's storyline will be affected to some extent.
Cao Yu was worried that if a butterfly effect were to occur, altering the plot of the Detective Conan world, his advantage of holding the script would be lost.
"It's no big deal, I thought it was something serious."
"Call Yukiko Fujimine and sound her out."
They come, the security!
Cao Yu spoke casually, tossing his phone to Vermouth.
"All done, Yukiko Fujimine has arrived in Okinawa."
A moment later, Vermouth hung up the phone and walked towards the bathroom.
Chapter 9: A Passionate Car Race, Yukiko Appears
The next day, Okinawa!
On the highway, a red Ferrari sports car sped along, standing out conspicuously amidst the endless stream of traffic.
"You still haven't answered my question. Where did you pull your sniper rifle out last night?"
Vermouth gripped the steering wheel, her eyes fixed intently on the road ahead.
Even now, she remains full of curiosity.
"Honey, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, but that sniper rifle was something I conjured out of thin air. It's a pity you usually use my other gun, otherwise I would have given it to you."
Cao Yu spoke with a mix of seriousness and playfulness, as if it were a serious matter.
Before leaving, to avoid attracting the attention of the island nation's police and FBI, Vermouth specially disguised him and put on a well-fitting high-end suit.
At first glance, he appears to be a perfect social elite.
"Let's get down to business. How do you manage to leave no residue after the bomb explodes?"
Vermouth glanced at Cao Yu, her cheeks flushing.
She personally verified it last night, and the gun is indeed very useful; it's simply irresistible.
"I am the bomb!"
Cao Yu glanced at the scenery flashing past the car window and gave a casual reply.
Only a fool would research bomb technology if they had the power of the Blast Fruit.
"Are you kidding me? Are you a bomb?"
Vermouth smiled, assuming that Cao Yu was deliberately talking nonsense to avoid revealing the bomb's secret.
"You don't believe me? Just wait and see!"
Cao Yu was too lazy to waste his breath explaining, so he plucked a hair from his head, opened the car window, and threw it out.
A few seconds later, a huge explosion was heard.
boom!
The road was blasted into a large crater, forcing the vehicles behind to stop.
"Do you believe it now?"
Cao Yu lit a cigarette and took a leisurely puff.
"Who knows what magic tricks you used? I'm not a three-year-old."
Although the world of Detective Conan is about Conan's philosophy, it's not too fantastical.
The idea that the human body is a bomb goes beyond the scope of Detective Conan's lore.
"I tried it last night. How could someone your age be a three-year-old? I can't help it if you don't believe me."
Cao Yu shrugged and didn't explain further.
Ooh-ooh—Ooh-ooh—
Suddenly, sirens blared, and the speeding Ferrari was being watched.
"Shit, a bunch of cute little trash, you want to race me?"
"Hold on tight, I'm about to speed up!"
Vermouth looked up, then expertly shifted gears and floored the accelerator.
A red Ferrari sports car and several police cars with sirens blaring staged a thrilling chase.
Vermouth is a very skilled driver, overtaking closely and drifting through corners without any hesitation. She even deliberately slows down from time to time, waiting to be left far behind by the police cars.
The scene before him reminded Cao Yu of the plot in Detective Conan that should have happened a year ago.
Yukiko was the one being chased by the police car that time, and Vermouth eventually appeared and helped her out of the predicament.
Now that the roles have changed, it's unclear when the chase will end and how it will conclude.
Half an hour later!
laugh--
Vermouth slammed on the brakes, and the Ferrari came to a stop in front of a theater.
Police cars arrived in pursuit, and one of the officers stepped forward and knocked on the window.
"what's up?"
Vermouth opened the car window, blinking her innocent little eyes.
As expected of an award-winning actress, there was absolutely no trace of acting on her part.
"Miss, the speed limit on this street is 60 km/h. We just detected that you were traveling at more than 120 km/h. Please show us your driver's license."
The police officer took out a small notebook, ready to make a record.
"I'm so sorry, I ran into a bit of an emergency and was in such a rush that I forgot to bring my driver's license."
Vermouth pretended to rummage through her bag and said apologetically.
Driving at a winery never requires a license.
You look very familiar...
"You must have crossed paths with her while handling a case."
A short, stout man with a receding hairline walked over and interrupted the policeman.
"Officer Aoyama!"
"You can go ahead and do your work. I know this lady. She's an undercover police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. She must have been in a hurry to catch up with some escaped criminal, which is why she accidentally sped."
A man named Qingshan dismissed the policeman with a simple sentence.
Damn, my identity must have been exposed!
Considering the changes in the timeline of the plot, and the fact that Cao Yu fits the character description given by Qingshan, they decided to strike first just in case.
With a thought, he took out Judy's sidearm from the system's inventory.
Use FBI agents to shoot the island nation's police, let them fight like dogs.
"Don't be impulsive, trust my disguise skills."
Vermouth noticed Cao Yu's unusual behavior and secretly grabbed his hand.
Then, she smiled and looked at the green mountains outside the car window.
"Officer, thank you!"
Vermouth didn't understand why Aoyama would help her out of that predicament.
The two were complete strangers and had no connection whatsoever.
The only thing that is certain is that Cao Yu's identity has not been exposed.
The reason is simple: with an extremely dangerous bomber appearing, the island nation's police would never send just one officer to arrest him.
"No need. I was just doing this for someone else. I'll be more careful when I drive in the future. If I speed again, I might not be so lucky today."
Entrusted by someone?
Cao Yu retrieved Judy's sidearm and stared at Vermouth.
They shouldn't know anyone in Okinawa.
Just as the two were wondering what was going on, a beautiful figure walked over.
"Chris Vineyard, it's been years and you're still the same, always chasing thrills and racing. You almost caused a major disaster this time!"
Fujimine Yukiko!
Upon seeing that signature curly hair, Cao Yu immediately recognized the woman.
Behind Fujimine Yukiko followed Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and Conan.
Everyone who was supposed to come has come!
Cao Yu was glad that Vermouth had helped him disguise himself; otherwise, if the four-eyed little frog had seen his true appearance, it's certain he would have secretly notified the Japanese police, causing unnecessary trouble.
"Miss, the person you should thank is Mrs. Kudo. My mission is complete, and I should be going now!"
Aoyama greeted Yukiko, got into a car parked by the roadside, and drove away.
“Officer Qingshan is a fan of mine. Knowing that you like racing, I specifically showed him your picture and asked him to wait at the entrance to help you out if necessary.”
