Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 89 84. Lin Kaka discovered the blind spot
"Yeah, I've observed almost the same." Lin Longma nodded: "That pendant doesn't look right to me either. Did you notice it just now?"

"I secretly checked it and found that the pendant had a mechanism that could be pulled out to reveal a thin steel wire."

It is very easy for Vermouth to do some tricks by blocking other people's sight with her body.

"There really is a steel wire, which means that the woman might really be a murderer who used the steel wire to kill people?
Wait a minute, I'll ask."

Lin Longma took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Jin Tian, asking him to check if there is a female killer who likes to kill people with steel wire among the famous killers in Tokyo.

After sending the text message to Jintian, Lin Longma was about to walk into the ward, but suddenly stopped.

He said to Vermouth behind him, "This woman had a strange expression when she saw Mr. Maori on the overpass just now. Maybe she recognized Mr. Maori just now.

My old friend is kindhearted and will help send the woman back later. If this woman is really a killer, I am a little worried about this old friend.

How about you go back first and I'll keep Mr. Maori busy?"

Lin Longma's words were still quite implicit, but that did not prevent Vermouth from understanding. His meaning was very simple, a killer would not get to know a stranger for no reason.

Unless this person is his target.

Because Maori Kogoro is quite famous, it is possible that this woman is a fan of Maori Kogoro, but
A killer is a fan of a detective, which sounds like a joke from hell.

When the situation reaches a certain stalemate, alerting the enemy is a good way to break the deadlock.

For example, now, Lin Longma guessed that Vermouth probably knew Kudo Shinichi or had a relationship with the Kudo family.

But he was not sure to what extent the friendship between the two sides reached.

As for Conan Vermouth, is he prepared to take care of him to the best of his ability, or is he prepared to do his best to protect this little brat?

Is it Shinichi Kudo or Yukiko Kudo who has a relationship with Vermouth?

and many more!

Although there was no flash of white lightning flashing through his mind, Lin Longma suddenly felt a sense of relief. He discovered a blind spot.

So far, only a very small number of people within the Isshinkai know that Conan is Kudo Shinichi, and the only other person who knows is Shirley at the scientific research base.

Apart from them, no one knows Kudo Shinichi's current identity.

Although Shirley submitted a major discovery of a new drug, since Kudo Shinichi had just appeared as his "true self" not long ago, even Gin did not think of Kudo Shinichi in a smaller way.

And because Hayashi Ryoma already knew Conan's identity, he always assumed Conan was Kudo Shinichi.

But in the eyes of others, Kudo Shinichi and Conan are two different individuals, but Vermouth's actions do not seem to be completely unaware!
How did she know that Conan was Kudo Shinichi? How did she identify Conan's true identity so quickly?
Also, from the moment she met the Maori family until now, Vermouth has been communicating with Maori Ran the most. From Maori Ran's expression, it seems that she doesn't know Vermouth.

But don’t forget that as the Thousand-Faced Witch of the organization, Vermouth’s specialty is disguise.

Maybe Vermouth actually knows Maori Ran?
"Ryoma-kun, Ryoma-kun?" Vermouth's voice woke Lin Ryoma from his brainstorming. Lin Ryoma blinked and said, "Sorry, I just suddenly thought of something."

Then Lin Longma brought up the old matter again: "So Chris, if you have something to do, do you want to leave first?" Will Vermouth dare to leave? She now wants to stay with the Maori family all the time! Especially when Lin Longma is with them.

If Conan was a child who was easy to take care of, then Vermouth would have left, but based on Vermouth's observation of Conan over the past few days, he is not easy to take care of at all!
Vermouth knew very well that this might be a test of her by Hayashi Ryoma, but Conan, this treacherous man, really did not leave her any room for error.

Vermouth was afraid that as soon as she left, Hayashi Ryoma would capture Conan and bring him back to the organization.

Especially when there’s a female killer lying inside.

Vermouth is well aware of her own great reasoning ability, and Conan will definitely know that woman’s identity as a killer!

What's more, Maori Kogoro may be the target of the female killer.
Vermouth rolled her eyes and came up with an idea: "I'd better stay. To be honest, I still like that little girl very much. I can always feel a different kind of youthful atmosphere in her.

It’s an enviable age.”

"So how old is Miss Chris this year?"

“It’s a secret. A secret makes woman woman.”

Conan is someone who needs protection, so Vermouth cannot show any interest in Conan.

But it's different for Mouri Ran. Although she and Kudo Shinichi are childhood sweethearts, Mouri Ran really knows nothing about Kudo Shinichi's whereabouts.

Even the contact can only be unilaterally made by Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran.

Vermouth's words also have a second meaning. There are only two possibilities for the organization members to be interested in outsiders. One is that this person is the mission target of the organization members, and the other is that the organization members are preparing to absorb this person into the organization.

No matter which type of Maori Ran it is, it is equivalent to the "prey" marked by Vermouth.

In other words, before Vermouth achieves or fails in a certain goal, Maori Ran is protected by Vermouth. For Maori Ran, this is undoubtedly a talisman against other members of the organization.

Lin Longma naturally understood what Vermouth meant, so he simply nodded to show that he understood.

"Well, it looks like our 'date' will continue today."

Originally, Lin Longma was resistant to Vermouth and didn't want to have too much contact with her. But when Lin Longma had a certain degree of initiative, he preferred to take the initiative.

How could passive defense be the character of a leader like Yi Xin? Offense is the best defense.

"Of course, then let's get to know each other better, Ryoma-kun."

Vermouth noticed the change in Lin Ryoma's attitude towards her, but she did not say much. She still had that charming demeanor and exuded mature charm to Lin Ryoma.

Lin Ryoma and Vermouth walked into the ward one after another, and then saw the Maori family gathered around the bed with a serious look on their faces.

The unconscious woman was on the hospital bed. She was awake now, but the confusion in her eyes clearly showed that something bad had happened to her.

"Mr. Maori, what's going on?"
