Stay away from Conan.

"I know better than you who is involved in Keel's disappearance, but..."

Facing Gin's words on the phone, Vermouth thought so in her heart, but she still said:

"I will do my best to investigate all the possibilities. Just wait for my news!"

After saying this, Vermouth hung up the phone, then took out her phone and looked at an email she had received, with a slight smile on her face.

"Rice Flower Hotel?"

Vermouth murmured, and then she walked to the parking lot outside the airport, ready to drive away...

——"Rice Flower Hotel?"

At the same time, when Vermouth started talking to Gin, Vermouth did not notice that a surveillance camera was filming her face from a distance.

By gaining access to the local surveillance network, finding Vermouth's whereabouts, reading her lip shape, and analyzing it using an artificial intelligence program, Gao Yuan roughly understood the meaning of the phone call between Vermouth and Gin just now. It seemed that Gin was urging Vermouth to find Rena Mizunashi's whereabouts as soon as possible.

However, it is obvious that compared to this, Gao Yuan cares more about the word "Rice Flower Hotel" that Vermouth muttered after receiving the email. What does this mean?

Is she going to go there next?

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the search for Rena Mizunashi, right?

So, considering her appearance here, is Vermouth really trying hard to find Rena Mizunashi's trace?

Or is it because she has already guessed that this matter is related to Conan, so she is just looking for it perfunctorily, but is actually doing something else?

So……

Just now, after Vermouth received the last message, she read out the word "Rice Flower Hotel". Was it because of the content of that message?

But who sent her the message?

Rice Flower Hotel...

What will happen?

Gao Yuan was puzzled by this, but at least one thing was clear: he didn't have to think about how to follow Vermouth anymore. For example, it was not easy to gain control of the airport's surveillance authority in a short period of time. If he really wanted to track Vermouth's every move in this way, it would be unrealistic. After all, no one knew where the surveillance authority system was outside, unlike the airport...

And now, knowing where Vermouth is going next, Gao Yuan can also go there in advance -

After all, speaking of it, with my current status, it is normal for me to find a hotel in Tokyo after returning from abroad...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan probably had an idea for the next step -

At least, I want to see what Vermouth is going to do...

……

"The target person has left. I will follow him!"

In a building opposite the Mouri Detective Agency, a mysterious man wearing a black windbreaker and a black hat, after seeing Mouri Kogoro and others leave the agency, took out his mobile phone and seemed to report to the person on the other end of the phone.

Then, looking at the figure leaving the office, the man in black murmured confidently:

"Hehe, there's no point in running! Your true identity has been exposed. I will avenge the failure of the other partners!" After saying this, the man in black looked fierce, turned around and took action...

……

"Really? You're treating us to something so delicious!"

At noon, in the lobby of the Mihua Hotel restaurant, Yuan Tai was sitting at a table looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him. He was so greedy that he couldn't help wanting to eat it. However, facing the person who was treating him this time -

Ai's guardian, her brother Takato Akechi.

Following the eye signals from Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, Genta couldn't help but hold back and first asked "Gao Yuan" whether he and others could eat.

In this regard, the "Gao Yuan" in front of him, whose real identity is naturally Miyano Akemi, smiled naturally at the three children and replied:

"Of course, I was going to treat you guys. Because Xiao Ai has been following me out for some business recently, there hasn't been much chance for her to play with you guys. Today, we finally meet, so of course I have to treat you guys.

"After all, I heard that you guys usually take good care of Ai!"

So, Miyano Akemi said this in the identity of "Gao Yuan" -

Today, when I was shopping with Ai, I happened to meet these three children playing together. In this situation, it seems that since the holiday began, the children of the Junior Detective League have been wanting to play with Ai, but Ai is always busy. She either went to Kyoto or Hokkaido, so there is no chance for them to play with these three children at all, which made the three children inevitably feel depressed.

In order to dispel this emotion, Miyano Akemi thought about it and invited them to have lunch here.

"Okay! Then I'll start!"

Just like that, after hearing Gao Yuan's affirmative statement, Genta immediately started to eat. At the same time, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko beside him also saw this and echoed him and started eating.

So, looking at these three children, Miyano Akemi glanced at Ai beside her and smiled at her, as if she was very happy that Ai could make such friends at school.

However, facing Miyano Akemi's reaction, Ai was a little helpless. She felt that her sister was meddling too much. When she was shopping today, she could have slipped away when she saw the children from a distance. There was no need to take the initiative to go over and let the children see her and thus have such contact with them.

After all, the elder sister is now playing the role of Gao Yuan. I always feel that the elder sister seems to be completely immersed in the two contacts with other people after the previous incidents at the social gathering and the wedding, and she doesn't seem to worry at all about being discovered.

This, however, gave Xiao Ai a headache.

Because I was extremely scared, afraid that my sister's identity would be discovered!

So, Xiao Ai was silent, and could only sigh about this matter in her heart. However, seeing how happy her sister was, she couldn't say such things out loud. And to be honest, after the wedding incident, her sister was really capable and could solve the incident on her own. This was more convincing than any other disguise, and people would not doubt her identity...

——"By the way, Haibara-san, I heard that you and Conan went to Hokkaido for a trip before, right?"

At this moment, when Ai was thinking about this, Ayumi suddenly remembered something and asked... (End of this chapter)
