Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1746: The Bet with Vermouth

The result of this meeting was beyond the expectations of both parties.

Originally, Gao Yuan wanted to find out the truth about the recent events surrounding the Siling Group through Vermouth, so as to avoid being caught off guard and being affected.

But now, he realized that Vermouth had a big secret, and he seemed to have the information she needed. Therefore, not counting the original plot that he knew, Gao Yuan realized that he actually had this kind of bargaining chip in his hand, and this seemed to be more convenient for him to establish the so-called...

The character setting of “Jun Du’s backer”.

In that case, I am not in a hurry anymore.

As for Vermouth, she wanted to test Gao Yuan's true identity. She originally guessed that he was the computer expert, but now it seems that he is not...

However, his decision to meet me and ask for information made me further confirm his relationship with "Cointreau" -

  Moreover, he looked so confident, and it seemed that he really knew the information he wanted!

Thinking of this, Vermouth continued:

"Or do you not know what I'm asking at all?"

Further testing, and to further confirm this matter——

"What kind of antidote do you want? Come to think of it, I have always had a question..."

  Knowing that Vermouth was testing her, but if he didn't say something concrete, it would be meaningless to test Vermouth without any evidence, so Gao Yuan took the initiative to take the lead and asked:

“Why don’t you age?”

It seemed like a casual remark, but deliberately putting the two points of "antidote" and "immortality" together was Gao Yuan's hint, indicating that he knew the reason why Vermouth did these things.

After hearing Gao Yuan's answer, Vermouth's expression remained unchanged, but she was very clear in her heart that Gao Yuan was wise.

He really knew the answer he needed.

  Therefore, with this as a basis, Vermouth had already made up his mind and could not help but say:

"It's not gentlemanly to discuss age with a lady!"

As she said this, Vermouth knew in her heart that continuing to use the Siling Group as a bargaining chip to threaten Gao Yuan would probably have little effect. After all, she could only talk about it. Once something serious happened, he would easily see that the organization had no intention of taking action against the Siling Group.

Therefore, at this moment, Vermouth needs a new approach——

"But I think that if the situation continues like this, it will not be good for you or me. How about we make a bet? We will use our respective intelligence as the stakes. If you win, I will tell you what you want to know... No, I will ensure that nothing will happen to the Siling Group; but if I win, you will tell me the intelligence, how about that?"

Changing the subject and returning to the matter of intelligence, Vermouth seemed to give in and made this suggestion.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised -

Originally, the matter of the Siling Group...

  If I win, will Vermouth directly help me deal with all subsequent problems?

Subconsciously, Gao Yuan was a little tempted by this suggestion, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was obviously something wrong with this matter -

Although the fact that nothing would happen to the Siling Group was a perfect match for her expectations for this meeting with Vermouth, she took the initiative to raise this point, feeling that Vermouth must have a more crucial plan behind it.

After all, Gao Yuan didn't think that she would voluntarily give in to this extent just for the information in his hands.

  What's more, what if she regrets it?

It’s not that I haven’t threatened her, just like what Amuro Toru did in the original work... But is it necessary to bring out that information at this time?

This could be described as the trump card in his hand that could threaten Vermouth. There was a huge difference between taking it out earlier and later. As for himself, of course, he hoped that this trump card would be used in the most critical place...

  So, you want to gamble?

At the same time, during the moment when Gao Yuan was thinking, Vermouth sneered in his heart -

  The so-called concession by myself, the condition that seems to be more favorable to the other party, actually does not exist at all. After all, those previous things that seemed to be related to the organization and aimed at the Siling Group were actually aimed at Akechi Takato himself, and he seems to have not discovered this now. In this way, I can be said to have gotten something for nothing. Even if I lose the bet, I have not suffered any loss. On the contrary, today's "frank talk" and the intelligence I have gained are enough!

As long as Mingzhi Gaoyuan really knows the news about Jundu, then one day, he will have the chance to learn the secret from him!

And myself...

It took more than ten years to wait for the results of Cointreau's research, so why not wait a little longer?

As a result, after this meeting, the development of things gradually exceeded his expectations, but Gao Yuan was not afraid of the unknown consequences. Even if he did not use the method like Toru Amuro in the original work, at least there were Conan and Xiaolan, and their significance to Vermouth was also information he could rely on.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Gao Yuan nodded calmly without fear and asked:

"What are you betting on?"

——Took the bait!

No matter what, even if he hadn't decided what to bet on, as long as Mingzhi Gaoyuan agreed to his suggestion, then naturally, he could make certain demands and let Mingzhi Gaoyuan participate in the game he had arranged. Then, in this way...

"I haven't figured out the details yet. But you'll know the answer in two days."

As she said this, Vermouth began to think about the gambling game.

After all, at this point, considering how Akechi Takato contacted me, even if he didn't know that the current "Anishi Tomoaki" was me in disguise, it was about time I gave up this identity.

So, take this opportunity to do what you should do!

Anyway...

Everything can be explained by the excuse of gambling...

"it is good."

After hearing what Vermouth said, Gao Yuan knew that in two days, Vermouth was bound to take advantage of this so-called gambling to do something big, and if his guess was correct, she might be serious about it.

But even so, Gao Yuan had no reason to retreat——

  If he doesn't even dare to have a "fair fight" like Vermouth, how can he deal with characters like Rum that he will eventually encounter in the future?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan’s meeting and communication with Vermouth ended here. He then turned around and left the observation deck of the East Metro Tower without looking back, leaving Vermouth leaning against the railing, looking at the scenery of Tokyo——

Night is approaching and dusk is approaching.

The bright moon in the middle of the sky has already appeared and floated...
