Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 87 83. The Mystic Who Is No Longer Mysterious

Conan's words made the scene suddenly quiet.

Kogoro Mouri had an auntie smile on his face and looked like that bad friend who heard that you were dating.

Mao Lilan's face was full of curiosity, and she couldn't wait to hear the gossip about the president of a big company and a popular star.

Conan was marveling at his own cleverness. Since Hayashi Ryoma had appeared in the office quite frequently recently, he had triggered the passive ability of the Jealous King of East Asia. Conan was just preparing for a rainy day.

As for Lin Ryoma and Vermouth, they looked at each other and found something absurd in each other's eyes.

Date? Huh?

But they are all members of the organization after all, Lin Longma and Vermouth immediately said in unison:

"No."

"Yes!"

The above is not from Lin Longma, and the following is from Belmode. Lin Longma did not want to have too much to do with Belmode before he found out her details.

He thought Vermouth would have the same idea, but this sister just "admitted" their relationship.

What is she thinking? What is she going to do?
What was Vermouth thinking about? Of course, she was thinking about how to subtly remind her godson.

Vermouth never intended to hide the identity of her organization from Conan. According to her plan, her identity would be exposed to Conan sooner or later.

This can also serve as a warning to Conan, who is too unscrupulous in daily life - wake up, eldest son, the organization is approaching you!
If her relationship with Hayashi Ryoma appears to be "close" enough, then when her identity is exposed, will Conan be more wary of Hayashi Ryoma?
But if their relationship seems very distant, what if Conan, his silly son, mistakes Hayashi Ryoma for an innocent person?
This is the main reason why Vermouth gave a completely opposite answer to Hayashi Ryoma.

The Maori family of three was not very clear what Lin Ryoma and Vermouth were thinking, but their expressions at the moment were extremely interesting.

Kogoro Mouri's eyes were rolling so fast that he could almost form seals, and his eyes revealed one message: Brother, you are really awesome!
Mao Lilan opened her mouth wide, as if she didn't expect that the Hollywood star in front of her was actually a one-sided lover.

As for Conan, his thinking is much simpler when there is no murder case.

Hey, Lin Longma has an unclear relationship with this Chris, so isn’t Xiaolan safe?

Poor little Conan, he seems to have never experienced what it means to have the best relationship with someone.

"The patient is awake." The arrival of the nurse interrupted the little drama in the hospital corridor. The Maori family immediately put away the smiles on their faces and walked into the ward.

Outside the ward, Lin Longma cast a questioning look at Vermouth without saying anything. Vermouth smiled and continued to flirt with Lin Longma:
"I didn't expect that we really lacked some tacit understanding. It seems that my decision was correct."

Lin Longma:?

What bullshit are you talking about?
“You see, since we are a fixed partner, it means that we will inevitably appear together often.

Don't you think that being a couple is a good way to cover up, Ryoma-kun?"

"So it seems that Gin and Vodka can come out now?" Lin Longma thought that what Vermouth said was bullshit.

Belmode's words made sense, but not that much. Lin Longma didn't want to get involved with Belmode every day.

They are not members of the executive department. Besides, is it true that Yi Xin has so many people just to let Lin Longma, the big brother, go out to work and support them?

What do you mean, the boss of Tiangang has to go out to work to support the company's employees?
Even if Lin Longma was slow-witted, he would have noticed something was wrong with Vermouth. When he first met Vermouth, the impression she gave Lin Longma was exactly the same as the rumors said, that she was a mysterious person who was hard to understand.

This was also true when we met for the second time.

But Lin Ryoma has always been good at seeing the essence through phenomena, and he himself is very clear about Conan's true identity.

Vermouth has "inadvertently" mentioned Kudo Shinichi many times using seemingly reasonable means, and deliberately exposed their "intimate" relationship in front of Conan.

Lin Longma could not regard these as coincidences in any way.

So, Vermouth is also someone who knows Conan's identity?

When this conjecture emerged in Lin Longma's mind, he suddenly felt an epiphany and was enlightened.

If we add some "conditions" to the premise that Vermouth knows Kudo Shinichi's identity: for example, Vermouth may have a certain friendship with Kudo Shinichi.

Or maybe Vermouth, like her mother Sharon, has a serious relationship with Kudo Yukiko.

Then everything seems to fall into place.

Including but not limited to Vermouth's lack of effort in Los Angeles and Vermouth's attempt to find Kudo Shinichi at the dinner table.

Vermouth's tacit acceptance of Hayashi Ryoma's passive attitude towards the mission, and Vermouth's deliberate exposure of the close relationship between her and Hayashi Ryoma just now.

That’s right, that’s right, although there are still many doubts about Vermouth’s identity, her attitude towards Kudo Shinichi is definitely different from that of other people in the organization!
Lin Longma seemed to have touched the winning card in the very beginning of the game - although all this was just his guess, it was not difficult to verify this guess.

"You are the president of a large company, and I am a Hollywood actor. Wouldn't it be strange if we didn't have the right relationship?"

Vermouth also realized that she was a bit reckless and acted so hastily without knowing Lin Longma's background.

But she had no choice. She had just seen Conan on the side of the road, and when she saw that Hayashi Ryoma seemed very familiar with the Mori family, she became a little concerned.

God knows how horrified the scouts would be when they discovered that the enemy had approached their base camp just as the war began.

Lin Longma was able to expand the Isshin Society to a scale that even the boss was afraid of. It goes without saying that he is much harder to fool than Vodka.

Conan is a man who wants to kill people but not his own life, so Vermouth is really afraid that Conan will reveal his identity in front of Lin Ryoma.

Lin Longma seemed to be convinced by Vermouth's "excuse". He did not raise any more questions, but changed the subject:

"You should have noticed it when you were checking that woman just now, right?"

Vermouth was happy that Lin Longma no longer dwelled on the above topic, nodded and said: "The woman has signs of training on her body, and there are traces of steel wire or thin wire on her hands.

And then there’s the pendant on her chest.”

Vermouth knew that her performance today was a bit "below standard". If she didn't show some ability, she didn't know what Lin Longma would think of her.

Then the mystic was no longer mysterious and told Lin Longma everything he had observed.
