Gin doesn't want to work hard

"Sorry, sorry." Yusaku Kudo coughed, reverting to Shinichi Kudo's usual tone.

"Ahem, how about this?"

"Much better looking." Hattori Heiji gave a thumbs up.

Kudo Yusaku and Hattori Heiji are talking over here.

Judy, however, was not so calm while driving.

She was a little nervous.

Looking at the woman sitting on the motorcycle behind her, Judy's heart raced uncontrollably.

If this plan goes smoothly.

They have a high probability of catching this woman.

Vermouth, her enemy!

"Ms. Judy, you should still remember the route, right?"

Hattori Heiji struck up a conversation.

It wasn't that he genuinely suspected Judy had forgotten; he simply noticed her nervousness and wanted to distract her.

Judy smiled upon hearing this.

"Of course, we'll be able to reunite with the others soon."

Their destination was always a port on the coast.

Although we're off course now, we can get back on track by just turning a corner.

"Fasten your seatbelts, I'm about to accelerate."

Judy gave a reminder and stepped on the gas.

……

at the same time.

A port not far from Judy and the others.

Rows of containers are piled up in the port, forming a natural maze.

But as long as you stand on high ground, you can see everything clearly.

The terrace at the very top of the lighthouse.

Two tall and one short figures were standing here.

It was Kurosawa and his two companions who had rushed to Osaka overnight.

All three wore earpieces, which were used for internal communication.

Not long ago, Yukiko Kudo arrived in her own car and was hiding in a corner waiting for Yusaku Kudo and the others to arrive.

"Hey? Has Yusaku and the others arrived yet?"

Yukiko Kudo's voice came through the earpiece.

Conan held a pair of binoculars and looked towards the end of the road.

"not yet……"

"No, wait, they're almost here!"

Conan's tone turned serious as he looked at the white sedan that appeared at the end of the road.

Shuichi Akai stubbed out his cigarette, and Kurosawa also perked up.

Is it finally starting?

……

On the final stretch of the journey, Judy sped up again.

While successfully creating distance between themselves and Amuro Tooru, they gave Amuro Tooru time to get out of the car and run into the container.

Vermouth stopped her motorcycle.

She glanced at the two cars, one black and one white, not far away and gave a cryptic laugh.

"It seems that not only 'Shinichi Kudo', but also 'Sherry' is here."

The port was quiet and didn't look like there was an ambush.

Or rather, there weren't many people lying in ambush.

Nevertheless, Vermouth did not let her guard down.

Vermouth didn't believe that all the effort she had put into luring her and Amuro Tooru here was just to play hide-and-seek with them.

but……

Since she was already there, Vermouth was confident in herself.

Leaving aside "Shinichi Kudo", she and Tooru Amuro are actually on the same side.

Not to mention Calvados, who is on his way here.

They were not without the ability to resist.

"Shall we go in?"

Looking at the rows of container cars in front of her, Vermouth spoke.

Amuro Tooru nodded and followed her through the central passage.

……

Seeing this, Conan, who was standing on the lighthouse, smiled slightly.

"They're here."

"I'm walking towards where you are, Mom."

"OK, OK!"

Yukiko Kudo responded.

"So, the next step is to separate them, right?"

"Look at me!"

Yukiko Kudo now had several smoke bombs in her hand.

Conan kept his eyes fixed on the ground below, reporting Vermouth and the other person's location to Yukiko Kudo in real time.

"It's now!"

Conan shouted.

At the corner, Yukiko Kudo threw out a smoke bomb.

Vermouth and Amuro Tooru noticed the unidentified object rolling towards them immediately.

Having both witnessed Gin throwing bombs, the two reacted remarkably in unison.

Without a second's hesitation, they quickly retreated, one on each side, and crouched behind the containers on either side, covering their heads with their hands.

On the lighthouse, Conan watched the two men's practiced movements, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Did you mistake the smoke grenade for a bomb the moment you saw it?

My first thought was a bomb...

Is it out of caution, or has there been a similar experience before?

A series of guesses flashed through Conan's mind.

But he didn't have more time to think.

As the smoke grenades took effect, people could no longer be seen in that area.

Conan immediately said.

"Now! Draw Bourbon away, Ms. Judy!"

Judy responded; she was now at the corner to Amuro Tooru's right.

She deliberately let out a gasp, seemingly startled by the sudden burst of smoke.

Amuro Tooru keenly noticed the commotion.

Although he didn't know who was on the other end, he thought that those kids might be high school students, so he went in the direction the sound came from without hesitation.

Vermouth naturally heard the sounds coming from Amuro Tooru's side.

But now there's an aisle between her and Amuro Tooru.

Crossing the passageway in such poor visibility is too risky.

Vermouth then chose to stay where she was.

……

Judy led Amuro Tooru away from the range of the smoke bombs.

The two figures reappeared before Conan's eyes.

Next, it's time to confirm Amuro Tooru's identity.

Chapter 231 Testing the Waters

Conan looked at the two people chasing and fleeing below with a serious expression.

"Although it's a bit late to ask this question now."

"But I still want to confirm."
