Stay away from Conan.

Admittedly, Vermouth was somewhat surprised to receive a sudden contact from Louis, who claimed to be "Jundu's backup plan," and to learn that this person had not died after taking "APTX4869" created by Sherry.

Therefore, Vermouth's statement at the end of that phone call that "his life was of great value" was not a lie.

However, if Vermouth herself wanted to forcefully help this person save his life and escape danger because of this, it would not be enough, since the risks she would have to take would be too great.

If it were something that could be done casually, Vermouth wouldn't mind getting involved in this situation. However, according to the intelligence she received, the other party had caused too much trouble this time. If she forcibly helped them save their lives, there would be even more problems to face afterward, and it might even lead to the leakage of the core secrets of the drug, which would be a loss.

Therefore, at the beginning, after the first phone call ended, Vermouth only said one sentence and did not actually intend to do anything, or even whether to tell that person that this person could survive after taking "APTX4869". After all, everything just now was only that person's side of the story, and she did not see such a thing actually happen with her own eyes.

Therefore, since this person knows of Jundu's existence, perhaps they are just using this as an excuse to force me into a confrontation? In reality, the other party isn't that valuable...

Moreover, for Vermouth, there was actually no need to take such a big risk for this matter—

While he might serve as evidence for Cointreau's research findings, however...

While assisting Cointreau in fulfilling his last wish, he had already obtained the finished product of the drug that Cointreau had been researching from Cointreau.

Although he couldn't be sure if the drug was really effective, as long as he knew the person's situation was true, he could verify it himself later. There was no need for the person to be alive; on the contrary, if the person died, one less person would know the secret.

Therefore, Vermouth originally didn't want to get involved, so letting Gin and the others storm in and kill this person was actually the best solution.

At that time, Gin might also take the opportunity to kill Sherry and Louise, which would suit his taste even better.

However, a short while later, something new happened that surprised me—

That person actually received that kind of email!

Moreover, unaware of this, when Vermouth learned that the organization's database had been hacked using "Dark Baron," resulting in the complete erasure of drug data and many other records, Vermouth immediately realized something—

This person is more intriguing than Cointreau!

Regardless of the content of the email he sent to that person, and how he even knew it, the fact that he could turn the "Dark Night Baron," who was completely ineffective against the organization's database, into a weapon he used, and that the organization was unable to stop the virus from running...

This demonstrates that this person has an extremely high level of computer skills!
Such a person...

This prompted Vermouth to reassess the man's worth.

Moreover, things have come to this point, and I hadn't even prepared to contact that person yet, but unexpectedly, that person tried to contact me first, which puts me in a bit of a predicament.

In particular, that person specified that this person must live.

Therefore, Vermouth had no choice but to quickly come up with a solution. In order to ascertain the situation inside the pharmaceutical laboratory that had lost contact, it seemed that in the end, she would still have to contact the person inside the pharmaceutical factory.

After all, he couldn't just contact Gin directly and tell him not to kill anyone, could he? It would be difficult to explain to him then, and might even make things more complicated.

Therefore, Vermouth dialed the number that had previously contacted her, which belonged to Louis, in order to get in touch with the so-called "Cointreau's backup plan".

As a result, Vermouth's call with the other party never ended after that, so Vermouth could confirm what was happening on the other side by listening to the sounds coming from the phone.

As for Vermouth, after learning about the deployment of the organization outside the pharmaceutical factory through her informants, and understanding that the person was temporarily keeping Gin and his group from making a direct move by holding Sherry hostage, and also knowing the other party's escape route, Vermouth contacted Chianti. At the same time, based on the current situation and after some consideration, Vermouth was also thinking—

Is it possible to take this opportunity to get rid of Gin as well?
This idea wasn't something I suddenly came up with based on this matter; rather, it was something that came to me through his words after I contacted him...

However, these words piqued Vermouth's curiosity, making her want to see how it would end...

……

At that very moment, inside the laboratory, he walked backwards along the corridor he had infiltrated, still holding Sherry hostage, back to the entrance of that passage, and arrived at the door that led to the outside world.

Therefore, although there are many verification procedures to go from the outside to the inside, now there is only one access control restriction to go from the inside to the outside.

fingerprint.

Therefore, even though Gao Yuan's threat to force Sherry to face Gin and the others prevented them from taking action, Sherry could still make a slight move. While facing Gin and the others, she could reach towards the wall and touch the fingerprint scanner on the door to unlock it.

With the fingerprint verification successful, the door behind them opened automatically, and Gao Yuan quickly pulled Shirley and continued to retreat towards the door, seemingly able to leave this place very smoothly.

However, Gin's gaze towards them at this moment subtly revealed a hint of fierceness—

If the other person walks out of the door with their back to you, their back will be completely exposed, making it easy for someone outside to aim and kill them immediately!
This person cannot escape, nor can he survive!
With that in mind, Gin continued to follow. After all, the other party's speed had obviously increased after suddenly leaving the building, so he naturally kept up with the speed and quickly followed.

As it turned out, the shooting that I had anticipated did not happen. It seems that the people outside must have also received the information that I had just received.

Therefore, Gin, who had also stepped out of the building, immediately gestured to those outside to fire their guns, but no one moved.

"Ok?"

Gin wasn't particularly surprised by the outcome; in fact, he was the odd one out to be able to disregard that person's orders and issue a sniping command.

However, seeing the other person pull Sherry away from the building and walk quickly towards a parked car, Gin hardened his heart. His hand holding the gun was already poised, seemingly ready to seize the opportunity when the other person hurriedly tried to get into the car to snipe them—

Then, a gunshot rang out!
A bullet streaked past Gin's eyes at that very moment... (End of Chapter)
