Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1721 From Vermouth’s Perspective

Shirley must have taken that kind of medicine to transform into the size of a child so that she could escape from that room. Therefore, after that, Shirley will naturally always be in the form of a child. Normally, it is impossible to see her original appearance again.

Therefore, the so-called trace of Shirley discovered by the organization later must not be Shirley herself.

But even so, in the process of tracking that person, the organization actually found a lot of evidence that could almost prove that the person at that time was Sulli. This means that the person must not be a coincidence where someone who looks similar to Sulli happened to appear there, but someone was deliberately directing attention.

In this case……

There are only two possibilities -

Firstly, Shirley had the antidote for that drug at the time, which enabled her to escape from the organization by transforming into a child's body, and then restore herself to her original appearance through the antidote, which led to this situation.

If I must say, although it is unlikely that Shirley would have the opportunity to research the so-called antidote at that time, after all, she was still in the research stage of the drug itself, but the problem is that after she escaped from the organization, she should have contacted Akechi Takato, and Akechi Takato was suspected to be the backer of "Cointreau", so...

Since Cointreau has researched the antidote, does Mingzhi Gaoyuan also have such an antidote in his hands?

  This matter concerned Vermouth a lot. After all, her connection with "Cointreau" was actually for this purpose. And now, the body of "Cointreau" that was originally used to verify the efficacy of the medicine had disappeared. She didn't dare to use the antidote she got from "Cointreau" casually!

If it could be confirmed that Ming Zhi Gaoyuan also had this kind of medicine, and Shirley herself had tried it, it would be equivalent to verifying the efficacy of the medicine made by "Cointreau" for herself!

Of course, compared to this possibility, Vermouth feels that another possibility is a little higher.

The second is that the so-called "trace of Shirley" discovered by the organization at that time was not made by Shirley herself, but someone deliberately diverted the organization's attention.

The person who can do this must be the one that Shirley relied on after escaping from the organization. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to produce evidence that misleads the organization. So from my point of view, that person is most likely Ming Zhi Gaoyuan himself.

So in this case, what should Akechi Takato do to create the illusion that Shirley has appeared?

For Vermouth, no one understands this point better than her.

  It's simple, just dress up!

As long as Akechi Takato disguises himself as Shirley and diverts the organization's attention, the rest of the things will be easy to explain!

And if this is true, then this seems to explain why Shirley suddenly appeared on a live TV broadcast with her original appearance. When Gin and the others tracked her down, they encountered a guy who looked like Shuichi Akai.

As for whether Akechi Takato could have such a disguise...

"Heh, he knows Yukiko!"

At this point, Vermouth naturally didn't believe that Kudo Shinichi turned into Edogawa Conan without Yukiko and the others knowing about it. Moreover, as their neighbor, Akechi Takato must have a connection with them, so it is not impossible that Akechi Takato might have learned the art of disguise from Yukiko.

In addition, from his perspective, the people around Shirley now are Akechi Takato, Yukiko, and...

While thinking, the figures of Kudo Shinichi and Conan appeared in Vermouth's mind, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of Vermouth's mouth, and then her thoughts continued to continue thinking -

After basically identifying the people around Shirley, let's look at the Hokkaido incident. At that time, Gin and Vodka discovered Shirley's whereabouts and wanted to hunt her down, but they fell into the other party's trap instead. The other party almost found out the specific address of that adult with their superb hacking skills.

  Isn't this a replica of what happened after Shirley escaped from the organization?

Was the Sherry that Gin and the others met at that time really Sherry herself?

And who was the hacker who stole Gin's privileges and sent the virus email to that adult?

If we start looking for the people around Shirley, isn't there only one person? Akechi Takato!

Let’s not talk about cross-dressing for now, just the Hokkaido incident, the Mitarai family…

Isn’t this the consortium that has a close relationship with Cointreau?

Therefore, combining these situations and analyzing from my own perspective, it is almost a foregone conclusion that this person is Mingzhi Gaoyuan and is the backup of "Cointreau".

He most likely has superb disguise skills, and the mysterious hacker is also him.

Therefore, with these basic judgments as the basis, it is a very reasonable guess to think that the outsider who controls the "Night Baron" is him.

The only problem is that I have no evidence!

However, just because he might be a backup plan for Cointreau, he was still unable to make up his mind to take action against him. After all, based on his understanding of Cointreau, if he had a backup plan, it would not be that simple.

What's more, he still needs him, and Shirley's research on that drug is a secret, so he can't tell these things to other people in the organization.

Therefore, Vermouth has not chosen to take action yet——

However, even if I don't do anything, I still have to give that adult an explanation. After all, I have been acting alone under the pretext of looking for Shirley. If there is no result, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain...

Thinking of this, Vermouth felt a little distressed.

But fortunately, what Gin and the others have done recently will probably attract the attention of that adult, and no one should pay attention to me now. There is still time...

However, the problem now is that if the outsider who controls the "Dark Night Baron" is Ming Zhi Gaoyuan, things will be difficult if he is exposed.

So, what to do?

……

At the same time, on Gao Yuan's side, after Gao Yuan anonymously informed the hacker's location to the companies that operated the websites that were attacked by hackers, the subsequent news Gao Yuan received was -

All companies called the police at the same time. Since the destinations reported by all companies were the same, the police dispatched a large number of officers to find the location and discovered that it was actually an electronic laboratory.

However, when the police arrived there, the place was already empty and no one was to be seen.

Although there were quite a few electronic devices inside, all the basic data in those devices were gone.

Therefore, after all this operation, the hacker did not catch anyone, and for the website operating company, the problem was not fundamentally solved. After all, the data in their website server was locked and encrypted by the hacker...
