Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 291 Scarlet Chapter (Part 3)

[Priest: If he can really do that, that would be amazing.]

[Prophet: After all, it solved something that even two incarnations of the god couldn't do.]

[Dream Witch: Haha, why not let him come and observe the next experiment? The final outcome should remind him of something.]

[Savage: You mean explosion?]

[Acrobat: Alas, the Moon River Park we built with so much effort is about to be bombed again.]

[Novelist: That's fine. After all, in addition to the content in the expansion pack, we need to include some additional information to help Conan understand the true nature of the experiment.]

Judy and Conan ran all the way to the ward and found that Natsuko Shibuya was fine. Conan then realized that something was wrong and Cameron, who was left alone outside, would definitely be questioned.

The mercenary sat in the car, watching Toru Amuro and Cameron confronting each other outside.

Cameron was very wary of Toru Amuro. When he was in the office before, he heard Toru Amuro mocking the FBI in his words and almost couldn't help but take action.

"What are you doing here? It's none of your business!"

"That's true, but Mr. Shibuya is also my client, and..." Amuro Toru scoffed at Cameron, who was about to turn and leave. "If it were you, you would have accidentally let me know."

"Do you know Kusuda Rikumichi?"

Cameron immediately became alert: "I don't know, I don't know him."

"Really? He was originally admitted to this hospital, drove around here and ditched it, then disappeared. And it even involved a pistol. Haven't you heard about this from your colleagues?"

"I don't know that."

"I see. That means it's classified information, something an unimportant agent like you wouldn't know."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We share our intelligence all the time."

At this time, Vermouth, disguised as Judy, suddenly appeared from the hospital: "Cameron, what are you doing? Hurry and leave."

Then Cameron was dragged away, while Amuro Toru calmly returned to the car.

Vermouth, disguised as Judy, specifically asked Cameron about Kusuda Rikumichi: "You probably didn't tell that guy about Kusuda Rikumichi."

Cameron, who had let down his guard, immediately became a big mouth: "Of course, that guy committed suicide in the car with a pistol. I won't tell you even if you tear my mouth open."

"really? Thank you."

After receiving reliable information, Vermouth immediately ran away and returned to Amuro Toru.

"How's everything going?" Amuro Toru asked. "I didn't expect you to come so late. I'm a little nervous."

Vermouth slowly took off her disguise: "Because it's hard to find a similar scarf like hers."

"I see. What's the result?"

"Just as you guessed, Kusuda Rikumichi seems to have committed suicide with a pistol in his car."

"So that's how it is." Amuro Toru confirmed his guess.

At this time, the real Judy finally arrived with Conan: "Cameron, are you okay?"

Cameron was still confused at this point: "Why are you asking me that?"

"I just saw the car of the organization member, Amuro, leaving. Did you get tricked into revealing anything?"

"Of course not, but didn't you ask me these questions just now?"

Conan explained loudly: "That one is fake, she is Vermouth in disguise!"

Cameron was shocked, and Conan quickly asked, "What question should Bourbon have asked you just now?"

"But I didn't say anything. Even though he tried to provoke me, I didn't fall for it."

"He just said that on purpose to put pressure on you, so when your companion Judy shows up, you'll be relieved and no longer on guard. He's taking advantage of that."

Judy also noticed something was wrong: "According to you, Vermouth knew we would come to this hospital all along?"

Conan nodded: "Well, I'm afraid we have been acting according to the script designed by Bourbon and Vermouth. It started from the very beginning, when you, Judy, received the text message from Shibuya teacher."

Conan then deduced a series of Amuro Toru's plans, which made Judy feel helpless: "So Cameron, what information did you leak to let them know?"

"I just told them that their spy, Kusuda Rikumichi, had committed suicide in his car with a pistol."

"only this?"

Conan realized that Toru Amuro had been investigating Shuichi Akai's fake death, and now this news undoubtedly gave him decisive evidence.

At this time, in Amuro Toru's car, Vermouth asked, "Even if we know this news, so what? Kusuda Rikumichi is at best just a minor character in the organization who doesn't even have a code name."

The mercenary agreed: "Now, it seems you have decisive evidence in your hands."

Vermouth was a little confused: "What?"

The mercenary explained, "I'm referring to his investigation into whether Akai Shuichi was truly dead. Didn't Kiel shoot Akai Shuichi in the head on Kuribayashi Road before disguising the scene as a fire?"

Amuro Toru nodded: "That's right. If you commit suicide with a pistol, the bullet hole left by the bullet passing through the skull will remain even if it is burned."

"When Kusuda Rikumichi lost contact, Akai Shuichi disappeared from our sight in this way."

Vermouth was shocked: "What? You mean, that man is still alive now?"

"Yes, if my reasoning is correct."

Vermouth laughed. "What a shame! I'm afraid your reasoning wasn't right. It was the Japanese police who identified the body, and the fingerprints were also verified through the phone in the little boy's hand."

"If you still don't believe me, you can check out the footage from the camera Gere was carrying at the time. Just listen to this actress' advice: what he said wasn't an act; it was a sigh from the heart."

"However, you went through so much trouble, only to have me act out a farce with you. It's really a bummer."

The mercenary, who had known the truth long ago, naturally sided with Amuro Toru: "A sigh from the heart? If, as you said, the words 'I never thought it would come to this' were a genuine expression of Akai Shuichi's feelings, then it seems that these words can also be understood as admiration for another person."

Conan's figure immediately appeared in Amuro Toru's mind: "Yes, if that's the case, I will definitely pull that ghost out."

Vermouth smiled and said, "Have you found the hiding place of that undead?"

"Not yet, but as long as there are any clues, I can investigate it."

On the other side, in order to complete his plan, Conan contacted his parents through Dr. Agasa overnight, hoping that they could cooperate with him in acting.
