……

The sound of a car engine coming from afar drew the attention of all three of them.

A taxi pulled up some distance away, and then a little girl got out of the back seat.

As they watched Ai Haibara slowly approach from a distance, the expressions on the faces of the three of them were all different.

That's right, it was the real Ai Haibara who slowly woke up at Professor Agasa's house. After realizing that no one was left in Professor Agasa's house, and combining this with the conversation she had overheard between Professor Agasa and Shinichi Kudo, she knew that although she didn't know what their plan was, they must have been carrying out a very dangerous operation behind her back.

Although she didn't want to get involved, she also didn't want to just watch her companion and Professor Agasa get into danger. So, after hesitating for a moment, she took out a spare pair of tracking glasses from Professor Agasa and followed the signal to this place.

It's already so late, so the signal from the tracking glasses, besides the location of the Detective Boys' house, is where Conan is right now.

As she got a little closer, Ai Haibara finally saw clearly the woman who was threatening Conan and Jodie Foster with a gun—

Belmode!

Ai Haibara, who was once an important researcher for the organization, was naturally familiar with this woman.

For a moment, she froze slightly, and her eyes involuntarily filled with fear.

But the next second, she still mustered her courage and continued walking forward.

Because she knew that running away at this point would be pointless.

From Conan and Professor Agasa's conversation, she realized that the woman in front of her already knew her identity.

If we don't resolve this now, escaping won't do any good and might even drag more people into it.

Not to mention Professor Agasa and his group, even his own sister and Yuu Aragaki might be in danger.

Vermouth narrowed her eyes as she watched Ai Haibara walk towards her.

Conan, looking completely taken aback, exclaimed, "Haibara? Damn it!"

Chapter 627 The Bewildered Little Lan

The situation on the scene changed dramatically again because of Ai Haibara's sudden appearance.

Even Vermouth hadn't expected that today's drama would take so many turns.

"What are you doing here! Haibara, run!"

Just as Conan turned to look at Ai Haibara, Vermouth, whose tranquilizer gun was pointed at her, also had a glint in her eyes.

next moment.

Vermouth seized the opportunity when Conan lowered his guard and grabbed his wrist with lightning speed.

"!!!"

Amid Conan's bewildered gaze, Vermouth smiled and slightly rotated the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun in her hand by 180 degrees before pressing the fire button without hesitation.

Then, amidst the horrified expressions of Jodie and Ai Haibara, Conan, due to the powerful anesthetic, fell straight to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

That's right, of course she wouldn't hurt her precious "godson".

But at this point, it's better to let him get a good night's sleep.

"Golden night, baby!"

"And...welcome, Sherry!"

The next moment, Vermouth also raised her gun and looked at Ai Haibara, who had come to the side.

"You stupid woman." Looking at Ai Haibara's slightly twitching eye, Vermouth shook her head regretfully and said, "You ruined this brat's plan the moment you arrived, just like a moth drawn to a flame!"

"..."

Ai Haibara stared at Vermouth, remained silent for a moment, and finally silently took off her glasses.

Now that the other party has seen through her identity, there is no point in running away anymore; perhaps this is her fate.

“I am not here to die in vain, but to put an end to all of this.”

Clearly, Ai Haibara had already understood all of this long ago.

"Even if you are arrested by the police today, as long as I live, you will not stop hunting me down."

"However... I hope you can promise me one thing: don't harm anyone else but me!"

At this point, Ai Haibara lowered her head slightly. "Can you grant me this request?"

"Humph~"

Looking at the woman begging for mercy in front of her, Vermouth suddenly chuckled, then turned to look at Jodie and Conan lying beside the car. "I can leave all of them alone, except for this FBI woman."

She would never harm her godson or Xiaolan.

As for the old man and the elementary school student who appeared next to Shirley, whether she killed them or not was irrelevant to her.

but……

When Aragaki Yu's image flashed through her mind, she subconsciously frowned.

She quickly and subtly shook her head, then looked at Ai Haibara again and sneered, "But I still have to say, Sherry, if you have to hate someone, hate your parents for pursuing such a stupid research!"

"Cool, cool kid..."

Unable to move due to being shot, Jodie endured the pain and tried to push the unconscious Conan, but to no avail.

Just as Vermouth was about to fire.

A faint noise came from the trunk of Judy's car.

Xiao Lan, who was hiding inside, slightly opened the trunk and cautiously peered out through the crack.

It turns out that Ran accidentally discovered a large number of photos of Ai Haibara and Conan in Jodie's room, which aroused her suspicion and led her to follow Jodie.

By sheer coincidence, Ran, who had hidden in the trunk of Ms. Judy's car, also ended up at this place.

When she noticed through the gap in the car that a silver-haired woman was pointing a gun at Ai Haibara, she was immediately filled with tension and shock.

However, this subtle movement did not escape the ears of Vermouth and Ai Haibara who were standing nearby.

When they looked toward Judy's car and saw Lan peeking through the gap in the trunk, they were both slightly taken aback.

Then, Vermouth's expression changed drastically when she saw the angel who had once saved her.

why!

Why is it that not only Conan, but also Ran Mouri appears in this place?

However, Xiaolan, hiding in the trunk, naturally didn't think so much.

Ran, who was ready to rush out to rescue Ai Haibara at the first moment, also wanted to suddenly lift the trunk lid and rush out.

however……

Something unexpected happened...

boom--

It was accompanied by a dull thud.

The trunk lid was slightly deformed, but Xiaolan inside didn't push it open.

Xiaolan: "..."

Vermouth and Ai Haibara: "..."

Good guy.

Xiao Lan, sitting in the trunk, rubbed her slightly reddened palms in a daze.

"Why can't it be opened?"

She pushed the trunk lid harder, but it still wouldn't budge.

And for some reason, the trunk lid feels a bit cold to the touch.

On the other side, Vermouth, somewhat bewildered by Xiaolan's actions, cautiously walked towards the car with her gun in hand.

Although we don't know what's going on, it's best to let her sleep for a while, just like Conan.

"Ugh……"

Vermouth sighed softly.

She felt that things were somewhat beyond her expectations.

However, just as her hand was placed on the trunk...

A chill crept up her spine without warning, and in an instant, every hair on her body stood on end. An extremely ominous feeling welled up from the depths of her heart.

boom!

The next moment, she instinctively turned around and fired.

The bullet whirled and shot toward a figure that was suddenly attacking him.

Clang!

To Vermouth's disbelief, the newcomer actually used the long sword in his hand to deflect her bullet.

boom--
