Stay away from Conan.

It has to be said that after Gao Yuan thoroughly sorted out the timeline of the whole incident through Itakura Taku's diary, and now confirmed that Vermouth was involved in several of them, Gao Yuan had this feeling more and more -

This time, the organization wants Taku Itakura to develop that program, and it is possible that Vermouth is the real leader!

What this means is not that this task was set by the organization and that Vermouth was in charge, but that it is possible that Vermouth deliberately facilitated this matter.

Perhaps, based on the existing clues, after Tequila first came into contact with Itakura Taku, it was not empty talk that it judged that Itakura Taku was "useless" because of Itakura Taku's vision problem. Instead, under the premise that the organization was screening cooperation targets, the organization had already judged that Itakura Taku was not worth cooperating with. Therefore, it can be explained that Tequila never appeared again afterwards.

However, for some reason, when Vermouth learned that the "CG producer" she knew, Taku Itakura, seemed to have been contacted by the organization as a world-renowned software designer at the beginning, Vermouth arranged for people to secretly sneak into Taku Itakura's residence ten days later and let Taku Itakura discover him. In the end, Taku Itakura was forced to be unable to bear it anymore and chose to contact herself, which led to this cooperation.

In other words, it is possible that the cooperation between the organization and Itakura Taku was forced by Vermouth for personal reasons, and it is also very likely that Vermouth did it without telling the organization -

Otherwise, it would be difficult to understand why the organization member Tequila was still looking for a famous programmer worldwide since the organization had already contacted Itakura Taku two years ago and forced Itakura Taku to agree to continue software development about a year ago through intimidation-like threats.

After all, judging from Tequila's behavior during the Mantiantang incident, it seemed that the organization's plan to find a programmer to develop some kind of software had not even started yet.

This obviously contradicts the fact that Taku Itakura had been forced to continue software development more than a year ago.

Of course, although Tequila is still looking for well-known programmers through industry insiders, it can also be explained that the organization is doing this for insurance purposes, worried that even if Itakura Taku's development fails, there will be successors to keep up.

But if that were the case, it would seem even stranger.

After all, developing a software is not an easy task, especially considering that the organization is trying every means to find well-known programmers all over the world. The software they want to develop is by no means easy to make.

  Since the organization wants to find more people to complete this extremely difficult program, why not just let them work together to complete it?

After all, this is more efficient.

Furthermore, if multiple parties were allowed to develop independently, a situation like this might occur—

All parties have achieved certain requirements of the program, but because each party operates independently, it is extremely difficult to combine the results of all parties and combine the programs into a complete program.

You have to know that many complex programs are not understandable to everyone, and everyone has different coding habits. If it is not developed by a team, it may not be easy for people outside the team to read and understand the code.

Therefore, from Gao Yuan's perspective, if the organization entrusts Itakura Taku to develop software and then looks for other programmers and plans to let other people do the development, it would be a completely thankless task.

Either a team is formed to develop the software together, or one person is solely responsible for all the processes of program development. Any other approach will easily lead to the software program codes being completely incompatible and incompatible with each other. Therefore, this is exactly the point where Gao Yuan feels there is a split in this matter. Instead, it makes more sense to separate Tequila's behavior from Vermouth's actions.

The organization is looking for programmers to develop some software. This has been going on for at least two years, and Tequila is in charge of this matter. Until the recent Mantian Paradise incident, the organization's plan was still at the stage of finding a suitable programmer.

However, while the organization was doing this, Vermouth secretly found Itakura Taku, who was considered "useless" by the organization, to start software development. This led to a disconnect between the organization's overall actions and Vermouth's own actions.

In other words, Vermouth has her own ideas about the organization's development of a certain software, and she wants to keep it a secret from the organization.

However, for the unaware Itakura Taku, since Tequila and Vermouth came to him for the same reason, he naturally thought that the two were in cahoots...

Of course, Gao Yuan would have such a guess, thinking that Vermouth's actions in this matter were carried out without the knowledge of the organization. Of course, there were more than just these, but also the most crucial thing mentioned in Itakura Taku's diary -

"As soon as the woman finished speaking, the cat started to meow loudly behind her, and she hung up the phone impatiently..."

According to the contents of the diary, Itakura Taku couldn't stand Vermouth's attitude at the time, so he questioned who the other party was. After Vermouth replied in English that she wanted to "revive the dead", Itakura Taku heard the sound of a cat coming from the other end of the phone, and then Vermouth hung up in a hurry.

This detail had been speculated on many occasions on the Internet before I traveled through time, and I also believed so.

It is believed that the reason why Vermouth hung up the phone in a hurry was not because she hated cats or wanted to comfort the cat, but because the person holding the cat approached her, and Vermouth could not let that person know that she was looking for someone to develop software, so she hung up the phone in a hurry.

At that time, because it was the first contact between Itakura Taku and Vermouth, it was actually Itakura Taku who took the initiative to call the number left by the intruder. Therefore, Vermouth had no way of knowing when Itakura Taku would call that number, so the number she left should be a number she could receive at any time, so that number was either her own mobile phone or her own home number.

Therefore, it is very likely that the place where Vermouth answered the phone was her own residence.

  So, based on the guess, someone was holding the cat and approaching Vermouth at that time, so who was that person?

Combined with what Toru Amuro revealed at the end of the original work, that he knew that Vermouth had an unexpected relationship with the "BOSS" of the organization, it can be inferred that the person who can live with Vermouth is very likely to be the BOSS of the organization.

Although this point is not explained in the original work, if Gao Yuan remembers correctly, the official book seems to specifically quote the two clips where Itakura Taku hung up the phone because of the cat's meowing, and Amuro Toru mentioned to Vermouth that he knew the relationship between Vermouth and the BOSS. Putting these two clips together, it seems to imply that the person who was holding the cat and approaching Vermouth at that time was the BOSS of the organization himself!

If this is the case, combined with the above speculation, the situation that can be concluded becomes——

  It is very likely that Vermouth wanted to hide the fact that she asked Itakura Taku to develop the software from the boss of the organization!

In that case, since she has taken action without telling the boss, she naturally has to hide it from the rest of the organization, right?

Therefore, it is highly likely that Vermouth did this secretly without telling the organization... (End of this chapter)
