"Let's go find that murderer."

. . .

“Tsk tsk, it’s worthy of Vermouth. I really can’t even begin to catch up with her camouflage skills.”

Hidden in an extremely secluded corner, with the help of the black technology obtained from Suzuki Laboratory - a small night electronic imaging telescope, Saburo Uozuka smiled as he watched the silver-haired devil walking past him 58 meters away.

The body shape is wrong, the height is slightly different, the walking posture has been changed, and not only the face, but also the exposed skin has been processed.

No matter who knows Vermouth standing here, no one would dare to say that they can recognize that the silver-haired devil in front of them is Vermouth in disguise.

But the last thing he should have done was to say these four words, Akai Hidei, when he felt he was alone and safe.

Although due to the distance, Uozuka Saburo could not hear what Vermouth said, but with the help of the telescope and through lip reading, Uozuka Saburo was able to accurately read the name that Vermouth herself whispered at that moment.

And more importantly.

Tilting his head to look at his feet, he saw the real silver-haired devil who had lost his heartbeat and whom he had dug out from under a pile of sacks. Saburo Uozuka began to understand Vermouth's plan.

"Use the information about the traitor in the organization to distract Akai Hidei for a while, and then find out from somewhere that the matter of the silver-haired devil has had a great impact, and will hand it over to the FBI for processing, and then pretend to be the silver-haired devil to weaken Akai Hidei's vigilance, so as to seize the opportunity to assassinate her."

"As expected of Vermouth, it seems that the Big Sister and I thought it was too simple."

If this is the plan, Vermouth really has a chance of success.

After all, if Akai Hidei knew that her opponent was a member of the organization, or even Vermouth, her attention and vigilance would definitely be raised to the highest level.

And if the news was released, and Akai Hidei was always paying attention to the traitor of the organization, and at the same time she was asked to deal with an ordinary murderer, even with Akai Hidei's level, she would definitely not be able to concentrate 100%.

When masters fight, the most important thing is the moment of trance. Whoever is not focused enough will be at a disadvantage.

But, can things really be accomplished so easily?

He recalled in his mind the strength and adaptability shown by Akai Hidei when he had fought with her several times, and also recalled the fighting ability that Vermouth had demonstrated in front of him. Uozuka Saburo still felt a little uneasy.

Fortunately, he has found Vermouth. So next, he just needs to get along well with Vermouth without exposing himself, and help her when she is in danger after she really fights with Akai Hidei.

But before that, Saburo Uozuka felt that he should still help Vermouth clean up the traces.

It’s just that the so-called opportunity disappears in an instant when people feel it’s strange.

"Ok!"

Saburo Uozuka, who was dealing with the corpse, suddenly raised his head.

I tilted my ear and listened carefully to the sound which was not so clear in the rain.

"Gunshot? With a silencer! Damn, is he that fast?"

Knowing that in this area, the only person who would shoot at this time could be Vermouth, Uozuka Saburo didn't care about the body that he had almost dealt with, and picked up his backpack and ran quickly towards the location where he heard the gunshot.

The fact that there was only one gunshot meant that Vermouth's attack was unsuccessful.

Then things would be different.

If Vermouth's attack injured Akai Hidei, it would still be a favorable situation for Vermouth.

And if Vermouth's attack did not cause Akai Hidei to be injured, but instead she was dragged into a frontal battle by Akai Hidei.

Thinking of this, Uozuka Saburo quickened his pace once again, and at the same time pulled out a pistol full of bullets from his backpack and held it in his hand.

"Vermouth, please don't get into trouble!"

646: What are you doing?

Moving through the factory at a very fast speed.

The gunshots that had been heard not far away had stopped, and Uozuka Saburo could only approach the location of the gunshots carefully and quickly based on his memory.

'The shooting took place here!'

They quickly arrived at the shooting site where the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated. Looking at the bullet holes on the wall and the blood on the ground, Saburo Uozuka frowned and easily determined the direction in which Vermouth escaped.

As for why it was possible to tell at a glance that the injured person who escaped was Vermouth.

His eyes swept across the silver hair falling next to the blood. Knowing that it was Vermouth in disguise, Uozuka Saburo stood up and chased in the direction he had determined.

As expected, it was just as I expected. In a head-on confrontation, Vermouth, who was better at assassination and murder, was no match for Akai Hidei.

What makes Uozuka Saburo feel fortunate now is that, judging from the traces of blood spilled at the scene, although Vermouth was shot, the injury was not that serious, at least it was far from fatal.

At most, the bullets were concentrated on her waist, abdomen, thighs, etc. If she was injured somewhere else, Vermouth would not have been able to distance herself from Akai Hidei with such a fast movement speed.

So the question now is, since it is known that this area is where Vermouth is preparing to assassinate Akai Hidei, then Vermouth must have prepared the relevant evacuation plan.

Saburo Uozuka, who had just arrived in this area, faced the same problem as Hidei Akai, that is, they were not familiar with the space of this factory. Under such conditions, it was definitely not an easy task to find Vermouth who was trying to escape and hide herself.

"No matter what, let's find Vermouth as soon as possible."

Pursing his lips, Uozuka Saburo once again quickened his pace.

The traces of blood on the ground could no longer be found. It was conceivable that Vermouth must have temporarily escaped from Akai Hidei's pursuit and found some free time to simply treat her bleeding wounds so as not to leave any traces for Akai Hidei to track her.

"The traces disappeared here. So, according to Vermouth's character, in which direction will she escape?"

Tightening his pistol, Uozuka Saburo began to try to put himself in Vermouth's shoes to find her.

However, tonight, goddess of luck was indeed on Saburo Uozuka's side.

"Ok?"

The body moving forward suddenly pressed against the wall. Uozuka Saburo stared at a man who was running towards him quickly from not far away and raised his gun.

"Yes, Akai just injured the silver-haired devil and is now tracking him. His current location is in the southeast corner of the factory. John, you can drive over to pick him up."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he heard the words from the FBI member who was obviously contacting his colleagues. Saburo Uozuka recalled his position and the floor plan of the factory in his mind and immediately left his hiding place.

I'm here to find Vermouth, so it's better not to get into any unnecessary trouble at this time.

Well, that’s what Uozuka Saburo originally thought.

"It's been a long time, rye whiskey!"

All the murderous intent was hidden in his eyes, and his gaze was no longer focused on Akai Hidei, for fear that he would accidentally alarm her.

Saburo Uozuka rushed to the southeast corner of the area as fast as he could and saw Akai Hidei walking casually in the alley with her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker at first sight.

Seeing Akai Hidei like this, Uozuka Saburo felt more relaxed.

Obviously, just as she expected, Akai Hidei did not realize that the person she had just fought was Vermouth, the important member of the organization she had been looking for.

She just thought that she had encountered the perverted murderer who had committed many attacks in recent times and caused panic among the people.

"If that's the case, then it means Vermouth's injuries are not serious."

Taking a deep breath, Saburo Uozuka moved his fingers, regained control of the pistol, and concentrated his mind.

Akai Hidei is now in the open, and he is in the dark. If he can take advantage of this opportunity to kill Akai Hidei, Uozuka Saburo will definitely not let her go!

Kill Akai Hidei first, and then go find Vermouth. The plan is very clear!

"Huh? Why is there a taxi over there?"

Just as Saburo Uozuka was focusing his attention and preparing to settle the score with Akai Hidei, as Akai Hidei moved forward, Saburo Uozuka also saw a taxi with flashing lights parked at the obstacle where he had previously encountered a problem.

Looking closely, the girl standing next to the taxi seemed very familiar to him.

"Why is Xiaolan here?!"

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. Although this place was not too far from the Ghost Theater, Xiaolan had no reason to come here!

Did something unexpected happen when you were trying to take a taxi back?

Looking at Xiaolan holding an umbrella and looking anxiously at the abandoned building in front of her, as if she was waiting for something, Uozuka Saburo suddenly understood something.

Yes, no matter how excessive that brat Kudo Shinichi usually behaves, he would not leave Xiaolan alone in such a remote alley for no reason on such a foreign night.

They must have encountered something and separated from Kudo Yukiko. The two of them took a taxi home, and when they passed by here, they encountered something and suddenly stopped.

Looking at Xiaolan standing there, it must be that brat Kudo Shinichi who discovered something.

Wait, could it be that that little bastard Shinichi saw Vermouth disguised as the silver-haired devil, and then rushed over to catch him?

A look of panic appeared on Uozuka Saburo's face. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was consistent with Kudo Shinichi's impulsive character!

Belmode is in a wounded state! If she really bumps into Shinichi, she will definitely shoot without hesitation for her own safety!

We can't let that happen!

While Uozuka Saburo was thinking, Akai Hidei had already had a brief communication with Mouri Ran in his sight.

After telling her that there was a silver-haired killer nearby, Akai Hidei did not stay for long, as if he had more important things to deal with. He got into the car of his colleague who came to pick him up and left quickly.

Looking at Ran Mouri who was standing alone in the rain after running away because of a misunderstanding by the taxi driver, Saburo Uozuka hesitated for a moment. He was about to pass her to find Shinichi Kudo first and then take them both away from this dangerous place, but Ran Mouri actually put away her umbrella and walked quickly to the abandoned building in front of her.

"Tsk! Xiaolan, what are you doing in here at this time!"

After confirming that Akai Hidei had left, and knowing that he could not waste any more time, Uozuka Saburo leaned against the window frame and climbed out of his hiding place, then strode towards the place where Mouri Ran had just stood.

Just as he rushed to the bottom of the abandoned building, Uozuka Saburo, who had amazing hearing, quickly raised his head.

On the third floor above his head, Ran Maori's figure appeared on the iron staircase outside the building.

And the footsteps coming from this iron staircase came from far more than just hers.

"Is Vermouth also on it?!"

His eyes flashed, and he realized it was too late for him to climb up at this distance. So Uozuka Saburo stopped immediately, slipped into the gap between the buildings opposite, pulled out his pistol, and pointed the muzzle upwards towards the stairs.

As expected, when Uozuka Saburo's gun locked on his position, Mouri Ran, who thought she had finally found Kudo Shinichi, stopped abruptly. The surprise and worry on her face instantly turned into tension and fear.

Just at the corner of the stairs where she was standing, a middle-aged man with silver hair who looked like a Japanese appeared, covering the bleeding wound on his waist and abdomen.

What followed was the voice of Kudo Shinichi who poked his head out from the upper level and anxiously called out to Xiaolan to run away.

"Phew, what a damn coincidence, they really met!"

The muzzle of the gun was tightly locked on the pistol in Vermouth's hand. Uozuka Saburo narrowed his eyes as he watched Vermouth prepare to put the silencer in place before shooting.

Although he was shooting from the bottom up and it was raining, at this distance, Uozuka Saburo was confident that he could shoot down Vermouth's pistol one second before she pointed her gun at Mouri Ran.

Then, Uozuka Saburo was shocked to see Vermouth speaking so nonchalantly and then falling down the stairs in a mess, leaning against the rusty railing.

"Depend on!"

He cursed subconsciously, and exerted force on his feet to rush out of his hiding place to catch Vermouth who fell from the third floor. However, just as his body was stretched out, Uozuka Saburo twisted it back abruptly.

"...This is Xiaolan as expected, she really is like an angel."

Staring blankly at Ran Mouri, who had half of her body leaning out of the stairs and grabbed Vermouth's clothes at the critical moment, Saburo Uozuka nodded in admiration and raised his pistol again.

Because of Xiaolan's delay, Kudo Shinichi quickly ran to Xiaolan's side, and according to his righteous character, Uozuka Saburo knew what he would do without even guessing.

He watched Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran pulling Vermouth together, and then Vermouth reacted and grabbed the railings on both sides and turned over to the stairs. Uozuka Saburo became serious again.

Then, he just stared at Vermouth standing there like a lunatic, with a ferocious expression... Well, it was indeed ferocious. After all, a middle-aged Japanese man with silver hair didn't look very good.

Well, with a ferocious expression, he asked Kudo Shinichi and the others why they saved her. After getting the answer "There is no need for a reason to save people", he watched Kudo Shinichi leave holding Mouri Ran, who was weak and dizzy due to a cold.

Even after Kudo Shinichi and Mouri Ran left the alley, Vermouth had not recovered from her stagnation.

However, at this time, Saburo Uozuka didn't have time to think about what was wrong with Vermouth.

"You didn't leave."

Along with such a teasing voice mixed with a sneer, Akai Hidei, who had already left in a car, reappeared in the alley and stopped Vermouth who had just walked down the stairs.

"After killing so many people, do you still want to run away?"

Looking coldly at the disguised Vermouth in front of her, Akai Hidei held the pistol in one hand, obviously more confident that she could shoot before Vermouth.

With her lips tightly pursed together, knowing that her evacuation time had been delayed because of the shocking experience just now, Vermouth was blocked here by Akai Hidei again and began to frantically think about how she could escape.

However, the current situation was like a dead end, and even Vermouth, who had experienced many ups and downs, couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

If I were not injured, I might be able to escape from here, but now I have been bleeding from the bullet wound in my waist and abdomen for a long time.

Although she had done some simple treatment, she had already wasted too long outside. Now, Vermouth had suffered a great decline in both physical strength and energy.

Wanting to face Akai Hidei in this state is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

If nothing unexpected happens, Vermouth, who has roamed the dark world for many years, may really die here.

Well, if there are no accidents.

Vermouth tightened the pistol in her hand and was ready to fight Akai Hidei desperately. Even if there was no way to escape, she was determined to tear off a piece of Akai Hidei's flesh. She raised her gun at a speed that was one second slower than Akai Hidei.
