Gin doesn't want to work hard

So, the next thing to consider is retreating.

If this incident was planned by the FBI and Conan, then the only people here besides Conan and his friends are Jodie and Shuichi Akai.

Conan and the others will not be considered for now.

Vermouth wasn't too concerned about what Judy said.

What she was worried about was Shuichi Akai.

She had previously sent Calvados to distract Shuichi Akai.

A gunshot did indeed ring out from the direction he left.

But now the gunfire has stopped, and the two should have already decided the winner.

As for who won, Vermouth still leans towards Shuichi Akai.

In other words, Shuichi Akai could appear at any time.

In this situation, a swift and decisive victory is the best option.

Take care of Jodie before Shuichi Akai shows up and then leave!

Vermouth quickly came to a conclusion; she pointed her gun at Judy, ready to strike.

"I don't know if you still remember, but I've never forgotten what you did twenty years ago."

Judy's words made Vermouth pause.

"A secret makes a woman woman."

"That's your catchphrase, isn't it?"

"Twenty years ago, that was the last thing you said to me."

Judy lowered her head slightly, her expression hidden by her falling hair.

“That night, you killed my father and set a huge fire, burning everything to the ground.”

"But you'd never guess, would you? I survived, and I've reappeared before you!"

Vermouth hummed in response, as if she had remembered something.

"So you were that child from back then."

"Actually, I was quite disappointed at the time, since all we found in the ruins were two adult corpses."

Vermouth shook her head and continued.

"I was wondering why you kept chasing after me."

"So you wanted to avenge your parents?"

"However, revenge won't be so easy."

"FBI investigator, Judy Sterling."

Vermouth smiled and revealed Judy's real name.

Then, taking advantage of her momentary lapse in concentration, he fired without hesitation.

"boom!"

"Watch out! Ms. Judy!"

Conan exclaimed.

Judy's pupils contracted, and she instinctively pulled Conan to the ground.

Although this maneuver saved her from the bullet, it also made it difficult for her to dodge again in the short term.

Vermouth was not surprised by this, and she continued to smile.

"Then goodbye, Ms. Judy."

"boom!"

Another gunshot rang out, but this time, it wasn't Vermouth who fired the shot.

"Clap!"

Vermouth's pistol fell to the ground.

She clutched her injured arm, took a step back, and warily watched Shuichi Akai appear from around the corner.

"Shuichi!"

"Mr. Akai!"

Judy and Conan shouted at the same time.

Shuichi Akai nodded at them.

Vermouth frowned slightly and muttered to herself.

"So Calvados really failed?"

Although Vermouth's voice wasn't loud, Shuichi Akai still noticed it.

"Calvados?"

"So that man's code name was Calvados."

"Wine made from apples is a perfect match for you, a rotten apple."

Shuichi Akai scoffed.

"Rotten apple?"

Vermouth was clearly not happy with this title.

But now is not the time to think about that.

She looked at the three people opposite her: Shuichi Akai, Jodie, and Conan.

At this moment, her hand was injured, and the pistol fell to the ground.

Although she still has a gun on her, if she makes the move to draw it, Shuichi Akai on the other side will definitely not be polite.

The same principle applies to escaping.

What should I do?

Vermouth frowned in thought.

"Akai Shuichi!"

A suppressed voice came from above everyone's heads.

The group looked up and were met with Amuro Tooru's unhappy face.

Upon seeing that it was Amuro Tooru, Vermouth relaxed slightly.

Given Bourbon's obsession with Shuichi Akai, Shuichi Akai probably won't have time to deal with her anymore.

Without Shuichi Akai's interference, the retreat was not so difficult.

Vermouth pondered for a moment, then quietly retreated.

Conan frowned slightly as he watched Amuro Tooru jump out from the top of the container.

Why didn't Kurosawa inform them of Amuro Tooru's whereabouts in advance?

Come to think of it, it seems like Kurosawa hasn't said a word since the very beginning.

Could it be that?

A bad feeling flashed through Conan's mind.

Just then, Vermouth relaxed slightly, and a smile reappeared on her face.

Seeing this, Conan finally couldn't help but look up at the lighthouse.

No!

gone!

The lighthouse terrace was empty; Kurosawa's figure had long since disappeared.

"Kurosawa-nii? Kurosawa-nii?"

"Where are you, Kurosawa-nii?"

"Answer me now, Kurosawa-nii?!"

Conan didn't have time to think too much and called out into his headset.

Gin appears in Chapter 236

Upon hearing Conan's voice, the people present reacted in various ways.

Shuichi Akai frowned slightly, clearly having also noticed the missing Kurosawa.

Judy looked at Vermouth, suspecting that Vermouth was the one who did it.

After all, judging from Vermouth's previous actions, her target seems to be Kurosawa.

Amuro Tooru also looked towards the lighthouse.

The figure who had been greeting him earlier had now disappeared.

He also turned his attention to Vermouth.

Like Judy, he also suspected Vermouth was behind it.

After all, Calvados's appearance was completely unexpected by Amuro Tooru.

It wouldn't be surprising if Vermouth arranged for someone else.

There was no response from the earpiece for a long time, and Conan's expression grew increasingly grim.

He couldn't help but question Vermouth.

"Where is Kurosawa-san? What did you do to him?!"

Shuichi Akai also looked over.
