Chapter 176 Photos of the Vermouth Base Investigation

Aomori Hospital

Chiba Kazunobu sent Yuya and Miyano Shiho to the hospital and then left.

Miyano Shiho looked at the departing car and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this considered an abuse of power?"

Yuya touched Miyano Shiho's head and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? I'm not a policeman, so this can't be blamed on me."

He suddenly discovered that Miyano Shiho's head felt as good as Conan's - the former was because her hair was of good quality and felt comfortable to the touch, and as for the latter, of course, it felt particularly refreshing to hit it.

Miyano Shiho shook her head somewhat uncomfortably, and looking at the figure walking in front of her, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly.

Then he followed with brisk steps.

The main reason why Yuya chose Aomori Hospital instead of the closer Beika General Hospital was naturally because the real Aishide Tomoaki was originally going to work here, but in order to avoid being crowded, Aishide Tomoaki, who was disguised as Vermouth, would come here as little as possible.

After all, the hospital is a place where people gather together to some extent. There is no need for Vermouth to make her disguise more difficult. Besides, if she comes to work in the hospital, how can she investigate Kudo Shinichi's affairs?

As for whether she would come to investigate secretly, You was not worried.

Vermouth will only find things that Yuya wants her to see.

Another possibility is that there is a doctor in Aomori Hospital whom Yuya knows. He met him when he was investigating a case before, and he can use his connections to get a fake certificate.

Since I was here, I naturally had a physical examination.

The main problem is Miyano Shiho. Because of staying up late for a long time and excessive energy consumption, her body... To sum it up, it's just one word: weak.

Nothing else.

Looking at the list in his hand, Youya suppressed his smile and said, "Mio, you look a little weak."

Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him. Did she think she couldn't understand the meaning of his words?

Yuya tore up the list and threw it into the trash can.

This is the real result, you can just take a look at it, but what you will take to school to ask for a long vacation and show to Vermouth is naturally the fake list that Yuya asked the doctor to make.

夜

Floating clouds passed by, blocking the moonlight.

The originally black Chevrolet became even darker, with only the cigarette butts flashing with red dots and the fluorescent light of the mobile phone screen becoming the only light sources in the car.

Shuichi Akai exhaled a puff of smoke and looked through the photos taken by his companions after they sneaked into the Vermouth base, which was the new base, and conducted an investigation.

He had seen these photos several times and knew every detail by heart.

The action paused when he came to a picture of a dartboard.

There are three photos on the target. In the lower right corner is a girl named Mao Lilan, and the English word "angel" is written in beautiful fonts above.

Above Mouri Ran is a photo of Kudo Shinichi, with the words "cool boy" written on it in the same beautiful font. Next to Kudo Shinichi is a photo of Edogawa Conan, with the words "cool kid" written on it.

Shuichi Akai had some impression of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Li Ran.

Ten years ago, when he was asked by his mother to go to the beach, he met Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan, Kamiya Yuya and Suzuki Sonoko who were still children.

At that time, Kudo Shinichi was a little arrogant and looked like a little adult, but he had already shown some talent in reasoning.

Compared to Kudo Shinichi's more outgoing personality, Kamiya Yuya is more introverted.

But in the eyes of Shuichi Akai now, perhaps another word is more suitable to describe him - very cunning.

Shuichi Akai didn't even care about the kid at that time.

If he hadn't learned from Judy after arriving in Japan about Yuya's powerful reasoning ability and the grand plot of working with the Metropolitan Police Department to catch the bomber, he might not have paid any attention to this high school detective.

After some investigation, he unexpectedly discovered that Kamiya Yuya was actually a childhood friend of Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ran. Therefore, Akai Shuichi found the memories of this boy from every corner.

Coincidentally, ten years later, when he was chasing a highway demon in New York, he met the grown-up Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo again, but he did not see Yuya Kamiya.

At that time, Mao Lilan fell into a coma due to the worsening cold, and Kudo Shinichi provided considerable help in the pursuit operation.

It wasn't too long ago that the incident happened, so Shuichi Akai remembered it very clearly.

But because of this, things became increasingly confusing.

Why did they and she, who had no connection at all, appear in the photo of Vermouth's base? And Angel and Cool Boy/Kid, no matter how you look at it, these three people have special meaning to Vermouth.

What secrets are there between them?

And this little devil called Conan...

Originally, Shuichi Akai didn't care too much about that little brat.

But today on the bus, Vermouth, disguised as a young doctor, stood between Conan and the criminals without hesitation, and Conan's series of actions, including the anesthetic needle that should not appear in a child's hands, forced Shuichi Akai to re-examine Conan.

Only then did Shuichi Akai realize that Conan and Kudo Shinichi looked very similar.

However, because ten years had passed, he couldn't remember the specific appearance of Shinichi, whom he had only met once, and could only compare him with his current appearance.

His eyes scanned back and forth between Kudo Shinichi and Conan, and Akai Shuichi couldn't help but guess... Could it be that Conan is Kudo Shinichi's younger brother?

But according to the information he had, the Kudo couple did not have a second son.

A ridiculous speculation suddenly popped up... Conan is the illegitimate son of Kudo Shinichi and Vermouth?

How is it possible! Akai Shuichi laughed at himself. Even he felt that this idea was too absurd. It was all because Judy watched the messy TV yesterday...

Unable to think of anything, Akai Shuichi turned to the next photo.

There is also a dartboard on it with two photos attached.

One photo shows a girl with brown hair, who is none other than Shiho Miyano, wearing a white coat, when she was still a member of the organization, Shirley.

A big cross was drawn on the girl's face with a black marker, and it was pierced by a sharp dart - it can be seen that Vermouth had a very deep hatred for this girl.

Akai Hideichi's eyes flickered for a moment. It was Mingmei's sister... Vermouth had no intention of letting him go.

According to the intelligence obtained, Shirley was taken away from the organization's research institute.

However, the identity of the person who carried out the action has not been discovered. Only Gin, the head of the organization in Tokyo, knows about this. Perhaps Vermouth also knows it, but it is obviously impossible to ask her out.

And all the people in the research institute were cleaned out by Gin.

Next to the photo of Shiho Miyano is a photo of Shuichi Akai himself.

Shuichi Akai was not surprised that Vermouth had a photo of himself, but he didn't understand why he and Miyano Shiho were put together.

If there is a certain connection between Mouri Ran, Conan, and Kudo Shinichi, then there is no connection between him and Miyano Shiho, except for the deceased Miyano Akemi.

Based on Shuichi Akai's understanding of Vermouth, this woman would not put their photos together for no reason.

Turning the page, there is still a photo of a dart board. Does Vermouth like playing darts so much?

There were photos of Yuya Kamiya and the Miyano sisters on it. Of course, the photos showed the appearance of the fake Amakura sisters.

"Kamiya Yuya..." Shuichi Akai pressed the burnt cigarette butt into the ashtray and repeated the name in a low voice.

at the same time

There was a sudden slight noise at No. 2, Beika-cho 21nd Street, which was supposed to be empty. If someone heard it, they would probably think that the Kudo residence had been deserted, and perhaps a stray cat or a mouse had run in?

It can't be haunted, right?

Vermouth wore shoe covers, gloves and a mask, disguising herself very well, but she did not hide her movements as she investigated the villa from top to bottom.

She had come to check many times, and this time again found nothing.

There were still no signs of anyone living in the house, but there was no obvious accumulation of dust either. This was the result of regular cleaning by the housekeeping company hired by Yuya.

Vermouth came to this conclusion from the bill in her mailbox.

Only then did she understand why the bug she installed in Kudo's house was cleared away every once in a while. She thought she had been discovered.

But what kind of housekeeping company is this? How can they clean so well that they can even find something as secret as a bug?

Vermouth couldn't help but wonder, could it be the housekeeping company that the man worked for part-time...

I didn't install another bug. After all, if something like this was discovered once or twice, people might think that a professional thief was trying to break into the house.

There's no need to get yourself into trouble with a detective.

She and Kudo Yukiko were good friends, so she had naturally seen Kudo Shinichi when he was a child. Occasionally, she would hear from Yukiko about this child who was several times more well-behaved than the cocky Shinichi, and she had also seen his photos.

"This kid has grown so much now?" Vermouth muttered softly.

She couldn't have imagined that after just a dozen years, the little brat at that time had grown to the point where she couldn't recognize him anymore.

"Compared to cool boy, who is better?"

Vermouth couldn't help but look forward to the scene of the two of them fighting one day.

Of course, it was just a simple test of reasoning ability. She knew very well that Kudo Shinichi was completely crushed in terms of force, and Yu could probably pin her cool boy to the ground with just her fingers.
