Stay away from Conan.

"Exit records..."

Listening to what Gao Yuan mentioned, Vermouth naturally understood what the other party was planning—

Once the organization confirms that Sulli has left Japan, the focus of tracking Sulli will naturally shift. At that time, the organization may mobilize a large number of people to search for a "Sulli" who does not exist abroad, so that Sulli and the others in Tokyo will be safe.

Of course, it's understandable why Gao Yuan would ask him to do this. After all, he also needs to monitor the footage, so wouldn't he have to impersonate the "Shirley who went abroad" himself?

"This...I'm afraid it won't be so easy to handle..."

While it's true that faking exits from the country using surveillance footage wouldn't be difficult for me, the real challenge lies in creating exit records that can withstand scrutiny from the authorities...

While it wasn't impossible to do so, Vermouth ultimately wanted to find a pretext to gauge the other party's true attitude towards the matter.

In response to Vermouth's excuse, Gao Yuan merely sneered and then said:
"I left your travel documents and passport in the car. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself."

Clearly, Gao Yuan had anticipated Vermouth's reaction, so he had made thorough preparations to guard against Vermouth's excuses.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth's expression immediately became very serious—

Identity for going abroad, passport...

If it were just a fake identity or a fake passport, it wouldn't be difficult for him at all. The real difficulty is that what Gao Yuan wants to do must at least withstand the subsequent verification by the organization. Therefore, it is obvious that a fake identity or a fake passport is not enough to convince the organization that Shirley has successfully escaped from Japan.

Therefore, in other words, it must be a "real identity," that is, an identity that can be reliably verified at the border, in order to achieve this.

Therefore, unless Gao Yuan is so stupid that he doesn't understand what he means, the identity and passport that Gao Yuan is taking out at this moment should be the "real things" that can achieve his goal.

Therefore, this guy really can...

Thinking of this, Vermouth suddenly smirked coldly—

"Ha, now that you've gone this far, why don't you just take the real Sherry with you and leave this place?"

The fact that Sherry is a child has not yet been discovered, and Gao Yuan himself has not been completely locked down by the organization. Therefore, if it is for safety reasons, since this guy has the ability to make "real" passports and identities, wouldn't it be a better choice for him to take Sherry and leave Japan?

Faced with Vermouth's questioning, Gao Yuan's expression immediately turned serious, and he said solemnly:

"And then what? Sherry is still on the organization's wanted list. If they can't find her in Japan, the organization will eventually look globally. Sherry has been on the run all along. Besides, the child can't leave Japan. Maybe the other members of the organization will find out about the properties of that drug someday, and then things will be even more unpredictable."

"It's better to stay in the center of this vortex, so that any slight movement could become an asset to us—"

"Just like now!"

Looking up at Vermouth, who was driving in the front seat, Gao Yuan's response startled Vermouth.

Like now?
Yes, who would have thought that the organization's several actions would be seen through by this guy, who then took the opportunity to come to him and make a deal?
Such capabilities are indeed formidable; this "Second Man's backup plan" is far more troublesome than the original Second Man...

Moreover, it must be admitted that since he, Shirley, and the child all want to stay here and don't want to leave, it means that they "don't want to escape." So, for them, isn't it obvious what they want to do?

Especially thinking about what this guy said to him when he first appeared out of his car... At this moment, Vermouth had to seriously consider whether Gao Yuan and the others' existence could be used to advance some of her plans.

However, let's focus on the present.

After listening to Gao Yuan finish speaking, Vermouth silently pondered the details of the deal he had presented, pondering something.

After a moment's hesitation, Vermouth suddenly smiled again and asked:
"So, when Louis faked his death before, you also used this method to evade the organization's investigation? And then tried to use it to stir up trouble?"

Somewhat suddenly, Vermouth mentioned the name "Louis".

Admittedly, in the previous Hokkaido incident, Louise faked her death and left the country by using a faked "true identity" to complete a series of escape routes, but now Vermouth brings this up...

At this moment, it was quite unexpected for Gao Yuan to hear Vermouth mention Louise. After all, he hadn't thought about her for a long time, but alas...

Not long ago, in a dream replay, he had come into contact with Louis again, so he had recently reviewed Louis's situation. Therefore, Gao Yuan now heard Vermouth's words with a different meaning—

Without a doubt, whether in reality or in the trials of dreams, he had confirmed that there was a connection between Vermouth and Louis. Moreover, when Camus was being silenced in reality, Louis, who suddenly appeared, was clearly cooperating with Vermouth.

Louis, who should have been dead to the organization, collaborated with Vermouth to silence Camus, and ultimately tried to turn against himself in the United States...

Therefore, if we consider Louise as Vermouth's secret agent...

"how about you?"

With a meaningful gesture, Gao Yuan rested his chin on his hands and asked in return:

"Using the situation to silence Camus, Pisco's death also seems to be related to you... and that engineer named Hara Yoshiaki, weren't you also stirring up trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Vermouth's expression froze for a moment, then she slammed on the brakes, pulled the car to the side of the road, and coldly shouted at Gao Yuan:
"get off!"

It seemed that Vermouth had no intention of continuing the conversation with Gao Yuan.

After briefly observing his current location and noticing that there were no surveillance cameras nearby, Gao Yuan did not respond to Vermouth's "eviction notice," but instead pushed open the car door and got out.

However, a brown paper bag was left where he had just been sitting...

……

The next day, Teitan Elementary School—

"Edogawa-kun, your art assignment... I'm so sorry, it was perfectly fine when I left yesterday, but it's broken as soon as I get here today..."

In the classroom, Ms. Kobayashi, Conan's homeroom teacher, said apologetically to Conan, who was looking at the students' artwork from the previous day with a serious expression.

Because at this moment, among all the clay sculptures in this artwork, the clay dolphin bearing the name of Conan Edogawa has been destroyed… (End of Chapter)
