Stay away from Conan.

At this point, Gao Yuan realized that whether he could continue to survive in this dream and achieve his initial goal became a game of strategy between himself, Vermouth, and the organization's boss.

For me, the primary goal is to get out of here alive first, and after shaking off the pursuers, to try to go to Kyoto before Tanabata and meet the person who has the list of the organization's spies.

After Gao Yuan completed the initial arrangements, Hanada Emi picked up her phone and tried to contact Vermouth. Although she successfully connected the call, Hanada Emi simply relayed what Gao Yuan had told her to Vermouth. However, it seemed that Vermouth on the other end of the line had doubts about what Hanada Emi had said.

Therefore, Gao Yuan simply gestured for Hanada Emi to hand him the phone, and then he would speak with Vermouth himself.

"Vermouth, do you really think that no one will know about your actions in the matter of Kimihiro's death and the murder of his son Kyosuke Mitarai after they are dead?"

Thus, Gao Yuan got straight to the point, directly addressing the topic that Vermouth couldn't help but pay attention to.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth on the other end of the phone was clearly intrigued by Gao Yuan's sudden outburst.

After all, Vermouth was still very puzzled by what Louis had just said about Cointreau. There was no reason for Louis to know these things, and even if Camus knew about Cointreau's existence, there was no reason for him to tell Louis these things. After all, didn't Camus worry that Louis would find out about what happened back then?
Then, with the appearance of Gao Yuan's unfamiliar male voice, and his confident remark, Vermouth was immediately convinced that the root of the problem lay with this guy.

So, Vermouth gave a questioning "Oh," but to Gao Yuan, the tone of her questioning didn't convey much surprise.

"who are you?"

“Cointreau’s backup plan… In short, I took Cointreau’s drug, and just now… in Sherry’s lab, I took all the remaining 'APTX4869'.”

Thus, Gao Yuan's explanation of the current situation went straight to the heart of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth seemed to understand and said:

"Sherry's lab? Oh, I see! You're the one who sneaked in there? I didn't expect Cointreau to have left you as a backup plan."

In this way, without revealing any emotion of joy or sorrow in his tone, Gao Yuan immediately followed up after Vermouth finished speaking:
"So...you must regret not saving Cointreau's child back then...Cointreau's revenge will surely come!"

Therefore, although Takato didn't say this because he knew the actual situation—that Vermouth hadn't intervened to save Mitarai Kyosuke—after reviewing Vermouth's whereabouts at the time, as well as Jundo and the drugs the original body had taken, it was hard for Takato not to consider this possibility.

After all, if Jundo, who was being targeted by Camus, had contacted Vermouth, who might have been working with him behind the scenes, then Jundo's goal, as a father, in that situation, would have been to ask Vermouth to do something, at least to save Kyosuke Mitarai. Takato found it hard to deny this possibility.

Therefore, based on this possibility, Gao Yuan pretended to be profound and "threatened" Vermouth in this way.

Upon hearing this, it was clear that not only Vermouth but also Shiho Miyano and Emi Hanada frowned – there were so many entanglements behind Kyosuke Mitarai's death.
In particular, Hanada Emi, who personally killed Mitarai Kyosuke, felt that everything was very inexplicable. From her perspective, the whole process from her first contact with Mitarai Kyosuke to getting close to him and then killing him was so smooth and natural. So what was going on?

Are there so many secrets hidden behind this incident?
For a moment, thinking about this, Hanada Emi felt a deep sense of being deceived, especially considering Camus's actions behind the scenes...

Compared to Hanada Emi, Miyano Shiho's reaction was slightly calmer. She merely glanced at Takato, who was currently talking to Vermouth on the other end of the phone, and thought to herself with a sigh—

It seems that Kyosuke Mitarai wasn't originally supposed to die...

Faced with Gao Yuan's direct threat, Vermouth on the other end of the phone replied with a hint of helplessness:
"You're making assumptions based on the outcome. Actually, I helped his child escape, but he came back on his own later, so it's not my fault. Therefore, if you want to avenge Cointreau, you should have a more suitable target, shouldn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan paused for a moment. He didn't believe Vermouth was lying about the claim that "Mitara Kyosuke escaped." It seemed that Vermouth had indeed helped Kimito accomplish some things, but the subsequent outcome...

"Do you know that his child also took that drug, Cointreau, but... he died in the end. And I, I live."

Having thus confirmed more details about what happened before the original owner's death, Gao Yuan wasted no more time and got straight to the point, highlighting the key issue—

I am still alive.

And I just took so much "APTX4869".

Since this body is the original body, the original body must have taken that drug, and his death must be related to "APTX4869".

However, if Jundu's research was truly what he understood, then why did the original owner still die in the end?
Is there another reason, or is there a flaw in Cointreau's research?

As for whether he was able to live because of his own existence in this world, or because Jundu's research was indeed effective but some unexpected events occurred.
For example, Cointreau's drugs can indeed neutralize the effects of "APTX4869", but the person cannot bear the pain of the process and dies. However, his time travel brought his body back to life. Because the drugs in his body had been neutralized and he had survived the painful process, he ended up in his current state.

The above are just some of Gao Yuan's conjectures, but just now, after taking so much "APTX4869", his body has not had any obvious reaction. At least to some extent, Jundu's research must have some effect.

And that is the source of his confidence in facing Vermouth.

Clearly understanding the unspoken meaning in Gao Yuan's words, Vermouth replied:
"I know what you're going to do... Now, your life is indeed of great value!" (End of Chapter)
