Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

I'll find you a few task objectives tomorrow and send them to your email.

Gin hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Chapter 320: Hehe, I'm going to take a shower.

Cointreau is an exceptionally dangerous man.

The experience with the bus robber made Vermouth realize that, under that man's nose, no one knew how or when death would come.

Because it was too dangerous, Vermouth had initially suspended contact with him.

In any case, although Jundo is dangerous, he will not pose a threat to Ran.

But this time it's different.

When Vermouth somehow learned that Gin had assigned Yoshiki Hayashi to investigate Shinichi Kudo, she couldn't help but become wary.

She didn't know whether Lin Jiashu would obey orders or just pretend to comply, but she couldn't help but keep a close eye on him.

"This place is really out of the way as a date spot."

Lin Jiashu drove to a street.

A sophisticated woman wearing sunglasses opened the car door and got in, immediately filling the car with the subtle scent of her perfume.

"There's nothing I can do about it, after all, I'm being closely watched by some troublesome guys right now."

Vermouth smiled.

Taking off her sunglasses, she looked at Lin Jiashu and said, "If you don't shake them off before this date, they might all cause you trouble."

"Then I should thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Lin Jiashu started the car.

"So, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Shinichi Kudo".

"..."

"Gin probably only told you about how he killed Shinichi Kudo. What's really remarkable is that he didn't shoot a hole in the guy's forehead, but instead used him as a test subject for the poison the organization was researching."

Vermouth said, taking out a document: "This is information related to that kind of poison."

Taking advantage of the brief moment when they were about to reach the traffic light intersection, Lin Jiashu took out the documents and glanced at them.

This document mainly contains experimental records of APTX4869, including data on subjects after taking the drug, on-site photos, and autopsy results.

Lin Jiashu looked at them and fell into a brief silence.

“Without exception, all those who took APTX4869 died, and even the autopsy results showed no trace of the toxin.”

"Actually, I disguised myself as a teacher at their school in order to investigate this matter."

"Although Shinichi Kudo is dead, rumors circulate that he has only been missing... Not only is the whereabouts of his body unknown, but his parents have also been living abroad and have not returned to Japan, which is a very strange phenomenon."

So what do you think?

"The Great Detective".

Vermouth looked at him and asked, pressing the back of her finger under his handsome face.

Her subsequent words seemed to reinforce the suspicion that Shinichi Kudo was still alive, but that wasn't actually the case.

Because with Jundu's intelligence, he could naturally imagine this, and no matter how much I say, it's something he already knows.

"Don't overthink it."

Lin Jiashu calmly put down the documents and said, "The reason why we suspect that Shinichi Kudo is still alive is precisely because the rumor that he might be Kaito Kid has been making a big fuss. So as long as we catch Kaito Kid and confirm it, the answer will be obvious."

"That's true."

Vermouth certainly didn't believe that Kaito Kid was Shinichi Kudo.

However, she probably didn't expect that her teacher's son would look so much like Shinichi Kudo. They were cousins ​​but looked like twins... She just assumed it was a little trick that Kaito Kid used to escape.

But it would be even better if Cointreau's attention was all on Kaito Kid.

Or was this something he did on purpose?

Vermouth still can't confirm whether Yoshiki Hayashi knows Conan's identity or the effects of APTX4869... This is very important to her.

If the other party knows the effects of APTX4869, yet still chooses to protect the Kudo family's son and Sherry, then he is undoubtedly a traitor to the organization.

If he didn't know about APTX4869 and simply chose to protect Shinichi Kudo on the bus out of pure kindness, then the latter might have been in danger once he discovered his true identity.

While thinking about these things, Vermouth showed no emotion on her face.

"Where to go next? It's not very early."

"Hehe, I went to great lengths to shake off those little cats' stares just to see you... I don't want to go back so soon."

She naturally exuded a captivating fragrance as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingertips.

That somewhat ambiguous gaze seemed to be hinting at something.

Vermouth observed Hayashi Yoshiki's profile with a smile.

That gentle yet serious demeanor... he's really good at disguising himself.

Vermouth was well aware of the results of his previous physical examination; the other person seemed to have a rather strong libido in that area.

"Want to grab a drink?" Lin Jiashu asked with a smile.

"Okay, but let's not go to the organization's location, shall we?"

"Would you like to go somewhere quieter or noisier?"

"Um……"

Vermouth seemed to ponder for a moment, then said, "Let's go somewhere noisier; it might be quite interesting."

"OK."

Lin Jiashu responded with a smile.

From Vermouth's subtle smile, Lin Jiashu couldn't quite figure out what she was up to, but he didn't care much. Instead, he quickly turned the car around and drove to the place where they were drinking.

He wasn't really familiar with noisy environments.

Lin Jiashu preferred to get close to women in quiet spaces, taking advantage of the alcohol and slightly tipsy atmosphere, whispering sweet nothings and gradually conquering them... But he also knew that such simple tactics were useless against someone like Vermouth.

Indeed, it is in a noisy environment, fueled by alcohol and impulsiveness, that she pretends to be open, which better suits the impression she gives off.

Vermouth took out her phone.

With a beaming smile, she seemed quite excited for the evening, even finding the text message from someone amusing.

Calvados: "I just finished a mission. I accurately killed two targets, both with a single headshot."

Calvados: "Are you still in Tokyo, Vermouth?"

Calvados: "After I finish my tasks here, I'll go to Japan to help you."

Calvados: "I'm really looking forward to it."

Vermouth didn't even bother to read the text carefully.

The favor Calvados mentioned was the untimely Halloween costume party that Vermouth had begun preparing to get rid of Sherry.

In order to avoid being exposed, she could only choose Calvados, whom she could control and who could keep her secret.

Vermouth: "Okay, see you then, Cardos."

She just sent the text message.

Almost two seconds later, a new message arrived.

Calvados: "Are you free now?"

Vermouth: "Hehe, I'm just about to take a shower."

Calvados: "Can you tell me when you're done washing?"

Vermouth put her phone away.

She looked up at Lin Jiashu and asked:

"What's wrong? You seemed a little hesitant just now."

"I'm thinking about which bar would be suitable to take you to," Lin Jiashu said with a smile.

Chapter 321: The Game with Vermouth

That was a space completely opposite to what is called the everyday.

Shining lights, frenetic music.

If you're not mentally prepared when you step inside, the explosive sound effects in the room can even make your heart feel uncomfortable.

Wearing a hat and a mask, Lin Jiashu led Vermouth to an inconspicuous booth.

"how are you feeling?"

Because the music at the scene was so loud that Lin Jiashu even had to get closer to her and shout.

"Seems pretty good~"

Vermouth also raised her voice.

She took off her sunglasses and sat down, watching with a leisurely air as a group of young people cheered and swayed in the distance on the dance floor.

I don't appreciate it.

Although I don't appreciate it, people naturally feel relaxed in such a noisy environment.

"Let's order some wine. What would you like to drink?"

"whisky."

"How about bourbon whiskey, and a bottle of rum as well?"

"OK."

Lin Jiashu waved to the waiter.

Not long after, the ordered wine was delivered along with the ice bucket.

Lin Jiashu only took off his mask and hat at this point.

"If someone were to be photographed partying with me in a bar like this, I wonder what your fans would think?"

Looking at his face, which was somewhat blurry under the glaring lights, Vermouth smiled rather blatantly.

"So you realize that I also took a risk coming here with you?"

"Thank you so much."

Vermouth picked up the half-glass of whiskey that Lin Jiashu had poured for her.

Bourbon whiskey is primarily made from fermented corn grains. It has a distinctly sweet taste, not only in its aroma but also in its flavor.

Vermouth swirled the ice puck in her glass and took a small, restrained sip.

Despite her smoking and drinking, there's no denying that she's a rather eye-catching woman.

In the midst of the noisy and chaotic nightclub, she sat quietly in a booth, leisurely swirling the wine in her hand. Her thick, light golden hair, with a touch of lazy curls, possessed a dazzling beauty in the hazy light of the constantly flashing lights around her. Combined with her almost poisonous beauty, it's safe to say that anyone who saw her would be captivated.

Lin Jiashu smiled faintly and only took a sip of wine.

"Why did you specifically order rum?"

"No, it's just that I'm a little interested in rum."

"Is it pirates' wine, or are men just naturally interested in plundering?"

The two of them were speaking much louder than usual.

Atmosphere is a very interesting thing.

Most people, when speaking loudly, will inexplicably become more courageous, or rather, will feel a sense of "letting go." When their mood becomes excited, adding a little alcohol will make them "unrestrained."

Rum was the drink of pirates.

During the Age of Exploration centuries ago, when piracy was rampant, pirates would often stockpile large quantities of rum on their ships.

Because ordinary fresh water becomes unpalatable and breeds various plankton after being left on a ship for a month or two, but rum made from sugarcane can be stored for a year and is an essential item on board.
