Gin doesn't want to work hard

but……

The man exuded a peaceful demeanor, a gentle smile, and wore gold-rimmed glasses.

He appeared completely non-threatening, exuding an aura of harmlessness.

Is this really Gin?

For the first time, Vermouth began to doubt her own judgment.

At first glance, Vermouth was 80% certain it was Gin.

After all, the person in the photo looks just too much like Gin!

But after taking a closer look at the person in the photo, she wasn't so sure anymore.

Why would Gin laugh like that?

Is Gin really that gentle?

Can Gin make people feel that he is harmless?

Most importantly, would Gin agree to take these kinds of photos?

Vermouth was getting a little irritated.

To be honest, she didn't want Gin to be the person above her.

If this person really is Gin.

Things might be much worse than she imagined.

Vermouth hasn't forgotten.

The people taking photos with "Gin" are the Kudo couple.

The date the photo was taken is shown in the bottom right corner.

Judging from this date...

This photo was taken after Shinichi Kudo "disappeared".

It's amazing to be able to take photos dressed like this.

Vermouth had reason to suspect that the Kudo couple already knew about the organization's existence.

In other words, they learned about Shinichi Kudo's ordeal.

In this situation, they even started taking these kinds of photos...

As expected, Shinichi Kudo is still alive.

He might even be hiding somewhere in Beika Town.

Moreover, the photos can appear here.

That means they've already met Shinichi Kudo.

It's even possible that someone impersonating an member of the organization intimidated them.

Considering Yukiko Kudo's personality, Vermouth felt that this was very likely.

But this also shows that Gin was aware of Shinichi Kudo's existence!

Think of this.

Vermouth had a bit of a headache.

Judging from the current situation...

Finding Shinichi Kudo no longer seems to be the most important thing.

The most important thing now is...

Is the person in the photo really Gin?

This is a very important question.

Until this problem is clarified, nothing else matters.

However, Vermouth couldn't get any more information just by looking at the photos.

I wish I could see the real person.

Once Vermouth sees the person in the photo, she is confident that, with her years of experience in disguise and acting, she can tell whether it is Gin or not.

Just as Vermouth was pondering how to investigate the people in the photograph.

A faint conversation drifted in from outside the window.

"Doctor, are you home?"

"We're back."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Vermouth paused in her thoughts.

If I'm not mistaken, that's Ran Mouri's voice.

Thinking of that kind, angelic girl, Vermouth's eyes softened for a moment.

She put aside her complicated thoughts for the moment and prepared to get up and take a look at Ran Mouri.

Vermouth walked to the window.

She hid herself behind the curtains, then turned slightly to look outside.

Through the window, Vermouth could clearly see the three people below.

After seeing the faces of the three people clearly, Vermouth was momentarily at a loss as to who to look at.

First of all, there's not much to say about Ran Mouri.

She was no different from Vermouth in her memory.

But the remaining two...

Vermouth looked first at Conan, who was standing next to Ran Mouri.

This child looks strangely familiar.

If she remembers correctly, this is what Shinichi Kudo looked like when he was a child.

Vermouth's gaze lingered on Conan for a few seconds.

A certain suspicion formed in my mind.

However, whether the facts are as she thinks requires further investigation.

However, that's not what she cares about most.

Vermouth turned her gaze to Kurosawa.

this person……

Vermouth's expression turned serious, and she unconsciously straightened up a bit.

She carefully examined Kurosawa.

Despite the distance, Vermouth noticed the person thanks to her excellent eyesight; it was the same person in the photo.

Watching Ran Mouri talking to Conan and Kurosawa.

Vermouth's brow furrowed slightly.

Their relationship seems to be very good.

This is not good news.

Vermouth stared at Kurosawa's face, still unable to confirm whether he was Gin.

Although she saw the real person, things didn't seem to be what she had expected.

She couldn't detect any trace of acting in Kurosawa at all.

This seems to be his most authentic self.

Could it be that he just looks like Gin?

A thought suddenly popped into Vermouth's mind.

Chapter 162 Their respective plans

Since she couldn't figure it out, Vermouth decided to try a different approach.

She took out her phone and dialed Gin's number.

The phone was dialing, and Vermouth kept a close eye on Kurosawa, not wanting to miss a single move he made.

Suddenly, the phone screen flashed, and then a mechanical female voice came from it.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service..."

Vermouth's eye twitched as she double-checked that the number she had dialed was correct.

So, Gin hasn't removed her number from his blacklist yet?

Vermouth was somewhat helpless.

Just as the group was about to enter the house.

Vermouth clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She probably won't be able to sleep tonight if she doesn't figure out that person's relationship with Gin.

Vermouth would never feel at ease letting someone like that stay around Ran and the others.

Suddenly, she noticed the bandage wrapped around Kurosawa's right arm.

he got hurt?

Vermouth narrowed her eyes, an idea forming in her mind.

She lowered her eyes, no longer paying attention to Kurosawa and his group, and instead dialed Pisco's number.

……

Just before Kurosawa was about to step into the house.
