Stay away from Conan.

At the beginning, I promised Miyano Akemi that I would beat up Akai Shuichi when I had the chance.

This point, when he met Shuichi Akai by chance in the mall before, he realized that with his current fighting power, it was a little unrealistic to defeat the other party, unless he used all the props in his hands, maybe he would have a chance of winning.

And among them, what he possessed might be the key to defeating him——

"The Hanged Man".

This special effect, which requires a "hermit", can make the target fall down as long as the conditions are met. It can be said to be the most important means of fighting in his hands. So far, with this special effect, he has defeated many people whom he would not have been able to defeat otherwise. In fact, for people with extremely high martial arts values ​​who have been seen so far, such as Camus and Okita Souji, the "Hanged Man" has played a crucial role.

To be honest, it seems that the "Hanged Man" only failed when facing Kyogoku Makoto, but that did not seem to be a failure, because according to the situation at the time, he did manage to throw Kyogoku Makoto to the ground, but before he was about to knock him down, he managed to break free.

Therefore, as long as he had the "Hanged Man", he might be able to try to fight Akai Shuichi.

However, because the "Hermit" was not around, I hadn't used this effect for a long time, but now...

"The Hermit" is back again!

Thanks to Koizumi Hongzi, the "Hermit" that was originally damaged and unwearable has been transformed into a wearable garment again after her transformation.

However, since this was a matter led by Koizumi Hongzi, and in the end, with her consent, Koizumi Hongzi could borrow the "Hermit" at any time, the appearance of the "Hermit" repaired by Koizumi Hongzi had changed from a windbreaker to a black hooded cloak, just like the kind a witch would wear, and it looked very mysterious...

  How could I possibly wear this kind of clothes out on a regular basis?

I can only say that I have overlooked Koizumi Akako's own aesthetics...

However, it was also because of this that he dared to let Miyano Shiho show up in the ghost ship plan this time. Part of the reason was also thanks to the fact that Koizumi Akako had just repaired the "Hermit" -

  That’s right, when Miyano Shiho left the ghost ship, the hooded cloak she was wearing was the “Hermit” that had just been repaired by Koizumi Akako!

Except for the one she wore when she dressed up as a pumpkin lantern before she showed up, the "Hermit" she put on afterwards was essential for her to successfully escape from the ghost ship after she took off her mask. It was also an insurance for her to implement this plan.

So now that the "Hermit" has returned, maybe I can give it a try and beat up Akai Shuichi!

And at this moment, it seems like a good opportunity to challenge Shuichi Akai.

Moreover, thinking about it this way, Koizumi Hongzi's restoration of the "Hermit" into a hooded cloak would be more conducive to hiding her identity...

Now, because of the bet with Vermouth, the plan was designed to ensure that Vermouth compromised with himself. By letting the FBI take away the vodka, Vermouth had to compromise with himself, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain to the organization. But at the same time, if the organization could not bring back the vodka in the end, and a conflict broke out between the organization and the FBI, and things reached a point where Vermouth could not control it, then the plan itself would lose its meaning.

Therefore, for him, it is not important to let the FBI take away the vodka, but it is important to threaten Vermouth with this matter.

As for trusting the FBI, thinking that the FBI can resist the organization in Japan...

For Gao Yuan, who knew the subsequent plot of the original work, this was really hard to trust.

After all, because of the "Trial", I have seen more subsequent developments of the original plot from the world of "Trial" and know about the "Umisharu Island" incident, so I have doubts about whether the current FBI agents in Japan can cope with the strength of the organization.

Therefore, it would be in line with his own purpose to try to resolve this matter as quickly as possible and not let both the organization and the FBI have a big fight - anyway, after this incident, as long as Vermouth doesn't explain, the organization will find out that the FBI can arrest one of their members without any warning, and in the end the arrested person came back very smoothly, what will the organization think?

Ah--

Thinking about the later part of the original work, when Gin did not trust Rena Mizunashi after she was rescued to the organization, Gao Yuan was a little looking forward to it. What would Gin think if this happened to Vodka?

Therefore, after replying to Akai Shuichi with the words that revealed his identity, Gao Yuan thought for a moment and sent the following message to Akai Shuichi:

"They came to rescue us, and they obstructed us a little, but then they became suspicious themselves."

Such a simple reply.

……

So, on the other side, Akai Shuichi, who was wondering what the person entrusted by Mingmei before her death wanted to do, couldn't help but smile after receiving the follow-up text message reply, especially after seeing the sentence "let them guess for themselves" -

  Yes, even I can’t figure out the other party’s real purpose in doing this, so what will those suspicious guys in the organization think about this matter?

Any obstruction would mean that the conflict with the organization is purely a show.

In this case, even if Vodka was successfully rescued, wouldn't the organization be suspicious of why they took Vodka away?

  If the purpose is to capture members of an organization, shouldn't we normally fight to the death when facing an organization that comes to rescue us?

For a moment, after seeing the text message, Akai Shuichi roughly understood the other party's thoughts——

However, Akai Shuichi still didn't understand. Doing so seemed to only put Futega in an awkward position, but...

  Are we wasting all this energy just to deal with a bottle of vodka?

What is the other party thinking?

Even at this moment, Shuichi Akai tried his best to consider it from the other party's perspective. As someone who could be entrusted by Akemi before her death, perhaps the other party wanted to avenge Akemi. In that case, vodka seemed to be one of the targets who needed to be dealt with.

However, this approach will not affect a wider range.

What's more, I also have my own position. The other party's approach may have its own purposes, but for me, it is definitely not the most beneficial approach.

  Didn’t the other party think of this before they thought of using their own forces to capture Vodka?

If you invest so much manpower and expose your own power to the organization, and ultimately only affect Vodka, it would not be worth doing it yourself from the beginning.

and so……

After thinking about it, Akai Shuichi did not beat around the bush and directly gave a brief reply to the other party about his position.

"No matter what your purpose is, I have my position after all." (End of this chapter)
