Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1749 Perspectives from all parties

In Ai's opinion, since she knew that Vermouth had appeared when Conan's true identity was about to be discovered by Xiaolan, she helped to continue to conceal Conan's identity.

With this approach, Ai actually knew that the fact that Kudo Shinichi had become smaller was no longer a secret in Vermouth's eyes.

However, since she knew about this so early, but the organization has not yet taken action against Conan, it can be seen that Gao Yuan's judgment is correct. Vermouth seems to have her own ideas. She doesn't want others to know that the drug can make people smaller...

Of course, this may also be because Conan is a special existence to Vermouth herself?

Regarding this point, it is not something difficult to understand because we know the relationship between Vermouth's true identity and Conan's mother, Kudo Yukiko.

Therefore, even if Ai knew long ago that Conan's existence had been discovered, then naturally, as she was with Gao Yuan, it was impossible for her not to be noticed by Vermouth.

However, perhaps due to Gao Yuan's identity, which was mistaken by Vermouth as "Cointreau's backup", Vermouth did not take any action out of fear of Cointreau or for some other reason.

But now, she sent this letter directly to her family, inviting Gao Yuan to attend a party on a "ghost ship" on a full moon night. And judging from the content of the letter, it was obvious that something would happen on the ship -

This situation...

Xiao Ai couldn't help but look at Gao Yuan, wanting to see what Gao Yuan would plan to do.

At this time, Gao Yuan had already fallen into deep thought——

After all, when looking at this matter from my own perspective, I feel that the situation is more complicated.

Because of the original work, Gao Yuan knew the story of "Full Moon Chapter". Its essence was that after Vermouth discovered that Ai was Shirley, she planned to capture Ai, and everything that happened afterwards were various situations derived from this.

For example, she sent an invitation to Conan and made Conan realize that his identity as Kudo Shinichi had been discovered, forcing him to attend the so-called "ghost ship party" in order to get Conan away and facilitate Vermouth's actions.

In addition, in the original work, the FBI's actions in this incident were entirely because they had been following Vermouth's sights and investigating. After realizing Vermouth's plan, they also found a way to participate in it, wanting to take the initiative to lure Vermouth into a trap and arrest her.

However, Vermouth had already discovered the FBI's tracks and took advantage of the situation, which led to several reversals later on.

In other words, the original "Full Moon Arc" is a game between Conan, Vermouth, and the FBI, and the focus of the game is on Ai.

But now, what's the matter with this invitation letter sent to me?

  Because it’s a bet with myself, so this is the content of the bet?

But according to the development of the original work, the events that happened on the "ghost ship" were actually caused by Vermouth threatening someone, even if it can indeed be regarded as a planned puzzle discussion...

However, as a bet between himself and Vermouth, is Vermouth really just trying to set up an event?

  Would she want to take this opportunity to do something else?

Or, even if she doesn't want to do anything, will the FBI, who should have discovered her whereabouts, take any action?

These are the things that Gao Yuan must consider right now——

After all, there is the original work as a reference, but due to the existence of deviations, the development of this matter will definitely not be the same as the original. It is very likely that things will become more complicated, and this is all unpredictable at present.

Therefore, Gao Yuan would not simply go to the so-called party after receiving the invitation letter from Vermouth. Moreover, even if he knew the development of the original work and knew what the party was about, he could not guarantee what would happen if he really attended the party, because he could not be sure that Vermouth would not arrange anyone else to attend the party except for the things and people in the original work.

In short, it was Vermouth who set up the stage, and I was just invited to the stage, but I had no idea what would happen on the stage until I arrived.

At the same time, in addition to the stage, outside the stage...

Will Vermouth also make some arrangements?

All of this is unknown...

At this point, knowing the original work is not of much help, so don’t dwell on what happened in the original work. The key lies in what Vermouth wants to do.

There is no doubt that she wants the information about Cointreau that she has, but at the same time, Vermouth's original purpose, from the moment she impersonated Tomoaki Aida, was definitely for Conan and Ai. She just didn't expect that she would find herself next to Conan, which made her do some things that she should have done earlier, but she still hasn't noticed any clues...

For example, in the original work, Vermouth installed a bug in Dr. Agasa's house to investigate the situation of Ai and the others, but this is not true for me. Vermouth did not have the opportunity to install a bug in her own home. Even when she had the best chance, on Conan's birthday, she did not do it...

Judging from all the circumstances, there is no doubt that she was wary of her relationship with "Cointreau". The medicine that "Cointreau" was researching must be extremely important to her, which is why she was unwilling to take any risk to offend me and try to seek information.

and so--

Instead of thinking about what Vermouth wants to do and what additional plans she might have, what I actually need to do is to ensure that the information about the drugs developed by Cointreau is not obtained by her through other means!

As long as she can only get the relevant information through me, then no matter what, I am the one who holds the initiative!

……

"Hey! Shinichi, you mean to say that the person who sent you this invitation letter is..."

At this time, in Dr. Agasa's house, after Dr. Agasa heard Conan say that "Vermouth" is the name of a wine, he couldn't help but said to Conan in shock:

"They sent the letter to me... Doesn't that mean..."

"Ah."

With cold sweat on his face, but seeming a little excited at the same time, Conan nodded and responded:

"The addressee on the envelope is 'Edogawa Conan', but it was sent to you, Professor, instead of Uncle Mori, which means... Not only that, the addressee and the letterhead are both 'Edogawa Conan', but the only thing written on the invitation card attached to the letter is..."

As he said this, Conan showed the envelope, letter paper, and invitation to Dr. Agasa, and all he saw was——

"Ku-Kudo Shinichi!"

With eyes wide open, Dr. Agasa read out the name on the invitation...
