When Vermouth received Chu Ming's message, she was leisurely applying a facial mask. In fact, she had already discovered the bloodstains in the trunk, but it was not discovered on the filming scene. After all, she was a well-trained killer, and the first thing she did when she got her car was to check it.

She just let Granburch take over her task. Besides, she needed Bourbon's help to check something. If her judgment about Bourbon's identity was correct, Bourbon was very likely an undercover agent of the public security.

She helps Bourbon cover up his identity, so Bourbon must help her protect Conan. Then she will convince Granburrch and Gin to let Bourbon out to contact Kogoro Mouri.

The moment she heard her cell phone ring, she picked it up and opened the message from Granburch, then sat up straight.

!!!

Why did Gin suddenly notice Shirley?

If Shirley was arrested, what would happen to her godson?

If her godson died, wouldn't her Angel be heartbroken?

With a frown on her face, Vermouth called Chu Ming immediately, but he hung up immediately.

I played again and still failed in seconds.

Vermouth tore off the mask on her face, fearing that this was Granburch's final reminder to her and that he had actually already taken action, so he didn't answer her call.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, went downstairs, and drove to Dr. Agasa's house, fearing that if she arrived too late, her imagination would become reality.

*

Chu Ming casually hung up Vermouth's phone. He decided not to answer Vermouth's call in front of Conan. He would discuss it with Vermouth when he returned home in the evening. It would be better to let her worry now.

Just at this moment, Rum sent a message. Chu Ming looked at the message on the screen, turned around and told Conan who was busy that his company had a new idea for a new software development department and needed him to go there first to hold a small meeting and then come to pick them up in the afternoon.

Conan nodded, but Haibara Ai suddenly remembered something, got up and followed Chu Ming out the door.

Chu Ming saw the little tail behind him, and paused pressing the elevator button, asking, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"

Huiyuan Ai stared at Chu Ming with a cold and clear gaze. She looked back and didn't see a curious detective following her, so she pulled Chu Ming to the stairwell and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu Ming, is that software company yours or the organization's?"

"Mine?" Chu Ming blinked, remembering what Conan had told him before, that after Haibara Ai came back from the Cocoon press conference, she saw the commercial shot by Vermouth and got a second fright. "Ai, are you going to ask me why Vermouth helped me shoot the commercial?"

Huiyuan Ai nodded: "Is it because they saw the success of your software that they wanted to -"

"Don't worry, Xiao Ai. Since I have chosen to stay in the organization, I have my own way of survival. You don't have to worry about me too much. Since I can't leave, and I have Granburr - you should have met Granburr when you were one month old. I asked him to take care of you if he saw you. I have helped him before, and he agreed to this little thing very readily. He is a pretty good person." Chu Ming laughed and touched Haibara Ai's head.

?

Haibara Ai feels like there might be something wrong with her ears, but she's still fine?

With such a bad personality, how can you be considered a nice person?

She seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, as if she wanted to tell the true face of the person she saw at that time, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not, and finally she held it back.

Chu Ming knew about Huiyuan Ai's dilemma, but he pretended not to notice it and continued, "Granburch has helped me with the recent missions, so it's been relatively easy for me. I guess it won't be long before I can get in touch with some of the core members of the organization. Then I'll be able to get more information and protect you."

Huiyuan Ai was not a girl who loved to cry. She was always cold and strong. But at this moment, she felt a little bitter in her heart, and there was a subtle cry in her words: "But Brother Chu Ming, you could have left that place..."

"It's better if you don't leave. If I leave the organization, we will have no idea about the organization's movements, which is not a good thing for us." Chu Ming comforted her half-truthfully. "As for your worries, don't worry. Vermouth was not sent by the organization to monitor me or plunder my achievements. I have another deal with her, and I know my limits."

Chu Ming did not elaborate, and Huiyuan Ai did not break the casserole to ask the bottom of it. She just lowered her head slightly, her face firm and calm: "Brother Chu Ming, if one day I am exposed, you don't try to hide it for me. I have been very happy these days, and every day is like a stolen life. In the days to come, I will look forward and live in the present as you said.

But if I am really discovered, I can face it calmly instead of hiding behind you. So if there is a mission clearly directed at me, take me back, as long as it does not implicate others. Promise me, okay?"

"...Okay." Chu Ming did not refuse, "If there really comes such a day, I will accompany you."

"Thank you, I'm sorry." Huibara Ai tried hard to put on a smile. She knew that if that day really came, anyone could run away, but she and Chu Ming could not.

It was she who implicated Chu Ming.

Seeing the guilt in Huihara Ai's eyes, Chu Ming blinked: "If Xiao Ai wants to compensate me, you can give me more medicine. The medicine you made last time was really useful, especially the one that won't make you drunk after drinking. But that one has no effect now, so I'd like to trouble Xiao Ai to research version 2.0 for me as soon as possible~"

Huibara Ai nodded vigorously. If she could help Chu Ming, she would do her best.

"Okay, I'm going to a meeting first. You go play with the kids. I'll pick you up when I'm done there." Chu Ming waved his hand, walked out of the stairwell, and took the elevator downstairs.

Following the address given by Rum, Chu Ming drove to an exquisite restaurant and followed the waiter's instructions into the private room.

Besides at the base, it seemed like the places where Rum met him were all various restaurants?

He is obviously not like the others, what kind of image does he have in Rum...

When I walked into the private room, I saw Rum wearing a hat and standing sideways to the door, looking out the window from the second floor. When he heard the door open, he quickly glanced over.

Seeing Chu Ming coming in, he smiled, informed the waiter following behind him that the food was ready, then stood up eagerly and pulled out a chair for Chu Ming.

At this moment, Chu Ming really felt that the online name he gave him was very appropriate.

"Uncle Rum, what did you pry out from that FBI agent? Why are you so secretive? Do you have to meet us to talk about it?" Chu Ming sat down on the chair pulled out by Rum without any hesitation, turned his head and asked him.

"It's about the FBI. She's too stubborn. I asked Lafitte to help interrogate her but we couldn't get anything out of her. The FBI has special truth serum training for agents like this, so the drug won't work on her." Rum sat back, crossed his fingers on the table, and seemed distressed. "I plan to use a brainwashing device, but once the brainwashing device is activated, if you want to get information in a short period of time, you need drugs, electric shocks, and sound waves to act at the same time, and this person will basically be useless. But if I take it slow, the information she said may not still be valid."

"Uncle Rum, are you asking for my opinion?" The dishes were still not served, so Chu Ming reached out and poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. "My suggestion is that intelligence doesn't matter. The FBI only has this mission in Japan, and you can guess what it is. Even if you pry her mouth open, you won't get any useful information. It's just a few strongholds. We can find these things slowly."

"You mean..." Rum stroked his fingertips, "...you want to use her as bait?"

It's easier to talk to smart people. Chu Ming nodded slightly and said, "I got the news that the FBI is currently planning to take the person back. Uncle Rum will try short-term manipulation these days. I remember that Potter has newly developed drugs. With the help of drugs, can you see if you can brainwash that woman in a short period of time or directly leave an instruction in her brain."

"I really want to see the FBI's agent who had taken so much trouble to get back turned into a time bomb. Tsk, I really want to see their expressions at that time~"

Chu Ming leaned back slightly, leaning back in the chair, slowly raised the corners of his lips, his eyes were like dark pools of water, but the smile did not reach his eyes, making him look like a super villain behind the scenes.
