Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

As night falls, many are destined to remain sleepless.

In a high-end double apartment in Beika Town, two people sat facing each other, both with somewhat solemn expressions.

"You mean, the person you met today might be Vermouth?"

Even the usually optimistic Morofushi Kagemitsu couldn't help but change his expression slightly upon hearing this news.

As a codenamed member of the organization, Morofushi Kagemitsu naturally knew what the codename Vermouth meant.

Although the organization is nominally divided into three ranks—Boss, Code Name Member, and Non-Code Name Member—in reality, the Code Name Members are vastly different from each other.

Vermouth is a very special case. She is the Boss's confidante and is labeled as "maverick." This also means that she only takes orders from the Boss. Rum, Gin, Pisco, and others can only ask her for help, not give her orders.

Moreover, Vermouth's ability to disguise herself is ever-changing and impossible to guard against. Once she sets her sights on them, their situation will become extremely dangerous.

"That's right. I don't think it was a coincidence that the girl appeared in front of me. She was probably here for me. In this situation, it's unlikely that she's from another official force. It's more likely that someone from within the organization is watching us. The person who can be sent to investigate us can't be an ordinary person. Vermouth is very likely to be one."

Amuro Tooru gave a bitter smile, a hint of helplessness on his lips.

In the last operation, Sherry was lost, which enraged the Boss. Although Amuro Tooru did not know exactly what Sherry was researching, he knew her importance. Therefore, the Boss would inevitably suspect everyone involved in the operation.

Amuro Tooru and Morofushi Hiromitsu both knew that Sherry's escape was not directly related to them, but their identities were indeed questionable, and Vermouth's abilities were difficult to defend against.

"Hiro, we must be extremely vigilant lately and not give ourselves away. Cut off all contact with Matsuda!"

Amuro Tooru spoke in a solemn tone, his expression unwavering.

"I see!"

Zhu Fujingguang nodded solemnly.

……

Meanwhile, in a newly rented upscale apartment, Vermouth leaned back on the sofa, reflecting on everything that had happened that day, repeatedly pondering every detail.

"Bourbon must have already noticed my presence. Although he can't confirm my identity, given his abilities, it's only a matter of time before he figures it out. The subsequent investigation will probably be much more difficult."

Vermouth lightly rubbed her fingernails against her phone, her expression slightly grave.

Today's events were beyond Vermouth's expectations. She never imagined that her first investigation into Bourbon would lead her directly to a murder case, and even more unexpectedly, the murderer possessed hidden abyssal energy.

The sudden materialization of the hidden abyssal energy disrupted all her plans. In order to protect herself, she had to use some of her power. Although it seemed like a coincidence on the surface, it could not escape Bourbon's observation.

For someone like Bourbon, suspicion and vigilance are enough.

"Never mind, investigating Bourbon was just a pretext anyway..."

Vermouth slowly put down her phone and looked at another piece of paper, which contained information about Teitan Superpower High School and the identity information of a doctor.

"Dr. Shinichiro Araide? Perhaps I can use this identity to make some preparations over the long term."

A glint of light flashed in Vermouth's eyes as she slowly collapsed onto the bed.

……

Under the cover of night, at Professor Agasa's house, on the table lie two handwritten identity documents: "Toru Amuro" and "Keiko Yamada".

As a detective with close ties to the police, it wasn't difficult for him to take a quick look at the two documents after making a statement, and Hoshino Hikaru easily memorized the relevant information.

"Dad had someone secretly investigate. Amuro Tooru's identity is real, but he's too clean. There might be traces of disguise. To prevent the other side from discovering it, we can't investigate further. As for Yamada Keiko, the information is real, but she's not in Tokyo right now. The Yamada Keiko who appeared today was in disguise. She's probably someone with similar abilities to Mom. Haibara, do you have any thoughts?"

Conan slowly put down his phone and briefly explained the information provided by Yusaku Kudo.

"I'm not too sure about Amuro Tooru, but if that Yamada Keiko is in disguise, it's highly likely to be... Vermouth!"

A flicker of fear crossed Ai Haibara's face, but she quickly regained her composure and began speaking rapidly:

"Vermouth is known as the 'Thousand-Faced Witch,' a confidante of the Black Organization's Boss. Rumor has it that her superpowers are extremely unique; she can perfectly transform into another person in terms of appearance, voice, and other aspects."

"Vermouth? Her abilities sound terrifying."

Conan nodded solemnly. Although his mother, Yukiko Kudo, could also disguise herself, she couldn't use a fake voice, so she couldn't perfectly become another person.

"Why are they at the movie theater? Did they discover your identities?"

Xiaolan spoke with some worry, concerned about Vermouth's unpredictable abilities.

"No, probably not. If they discover our identities, sending just two people is still too few. It's probably something else that we just happened to run into."

Ai Haibara had regained her composure and was calmly analyzing the situation, while giving Conan a meaningful look.

As a scientist, Ai Haibara doesn't believe in the idea that detectives have a "trouble-prone constitution." However, as Conan encounters various incidents time and time again, she begins to wonder if such a thing as a "trouble-prone constitution" really exists.

"What kind of look is that?"

Conan, feeling somewhat awkward under Ai Haibara's scrutinizing gaze, spoke up.

"I just feel that you probably possess another superpower: the ability to observe everything around you through your eyes, process it subconsciously in your brain, summarize the possible locations of crimes, and ultimately guide you into them. This is what's known as a 'detective's constitution,' which might be a new scientific proposition."

Ai Haibara spoke earnestly, her blue eyes filled with a searching gaze.

"Hey! Hey!"

Conan instantly gave a deadpan look, unsure of how to respond.

"Alright, let's put his 'death aura' aside for now; that's not the focus of our discussion."

Hikaru Hoshino glanced at the heart above Conan's head, lingering for a moment on the "Grim Reaper's Halo".

"Their appearance should be unrelated to us, meaning they're together for some other reason, like carrying out a mission together. However, I can't figure out what kind of mission it could be for now."

Conan stroked his chin, his glasses gleaming with a white light of wisdom.

"That area is a movie district. Besides cinemas, there are only a few shops. The organization's external missions generally don't involve intelligence gathering or threats of murder."

Ai Haibara spoke calmly, showing no fear of being targeted by members of the organization.

"Judging from their reaction today, they don't seem to be here to gather intelligence or meet with anyone."

Conan shook his head, feeling that something was missing from his train of thought.

"Is it possible that the two of them weren't working together, but rather separately, with one not on a mission and the other investigating him?"

Hoshino Hikaru snapped his fingers and calmly uttered a guess.
