Vermouth's lips trembled a few times, and she immediately rushed to the computer, trying to trace the source of the information.

Tracking failure message pop-up window again and again.

She switched to one tracking software after another until the organization's newly developed software also popped up a 'failed' message.

Vermouth crossed her arms, countless thoughts running through her mind.

Although I don’t know the identity of the person, this photo must not be exposed to the sun.

[Who are you?]

The message from the other party was replied very quickly, almost instantly.

[How about this? If you don't want me to leak this information, can you tell me the location and content of the organization's experiment?]

Vermouth's breathing stagnated. What this person knew had already touched the core of the organization. Who was he?

Before she could think carefully, a message came.

[I don't have time to test you. If you don't want Kudo Shinichi's situation to be exposed, please answer my question.]

[The authenticity of the information is determined by me. I hope you can answer honestly, otherwise I cannot guarantee the consequences.]

Damn.

Vermouth suppressed her anger and clenched her fists. Her sharp nails pierced her palms and blood flowed out from between her fingers, falling against the white carpet, which was shocking.

She hadn't been threatened like this for a long time, but the secret she wanted to keep was in the other party's hands, so she had no choice but to fall into the other party's trap.

She closed her eyes to calm the hatred surging in her heart and typed with trembling hands.

[Everything is in accordance with that person's will, breaking free from the shackles of time, swimming upstream in the torrent, pursuing the resurrection of the dead.]

[This is the organization's biggest experimental goal. In order to achieve this goal, the experiment will be divided into two parts: the human body and the brain.]

[There are many experimental sites. I can tell you the specific ones you want to know.]

After sending the message, no response was received.

Vermouth pursed her lips, pondering the identity of the person opposite her.

There are only a few intelligence agencies that are opposed to the organization.

There are very few people who know Kudo Shinichi and the organization's experiments and meet these two conditions. They don't have the courage to threaten me so blatantly.

It is the 'third person' who has never appeared.

The other party is coming for the organization's experimental field. If we can get some information out of him and find his flaws, we might be able to analyze his identity.

Vermouth looked at the confident and flamboyant boy in the photo and showed worry.

The other party's motives and stance are unknown, like a time bomb hidden beside you.

[List all the past and present experimental sites of the organization, including the person in charge and the experimental content, and send them all to this email address.]

The new message made Vermouth frown. She put the email address into the tracking system, but it still showed that it did not exist.

asshole!

What on earth is the other side? The organization's technology is already top-notch in the world, but it still cannot find out the location of the other side.

The fact that Kudo Shinichi is still alive cannot be revealed to anyone in the organization. The other party seems to know nothing about the location of the experiment, and she is not someone who will just let others manipulate her. In this case...

Vermouth sneered, but before she could finish her thought, a new message came.

This time there was only one sentence and one photo.

[By the way, if you write it all down accurately, I can introduce you to a beautiful girl.]

The attached photo shows a beautiful blonde girl holding a doll and looking at the camera with a smile.

How could he!

Vermouth's newly recovered composure was shattered again.

She squeezed the phone tightly, with such force that it seemed as if she was going to crush it.

The aqua-green pupils looked at the photo without any warmth.

The clear pupils looked into hers, and the familiar yet unfamiliar girl brought back bad memories.

It is not a pleasant feeling to have the abandoned past suddenly dug up by others.

Gradually, the corners of her lips curved down, as if she had suddenly lost all her strength and could not make any expression.

She slowly leaned back in her chair, as if her entire body had been drained out of her, leaving only a shell, staring blankly at her own reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window.

Mature and charming is the youthful look that most people like.

In a trance, Vermouth discovered that a black mist was spreading from behind her and floating in the air.

She looked at him quietly, looking into her own eyes.

Finally, she moved.

Like an old machine, it slowly sent the location of the organization's experimental site to the designated mailbox.

Looking at the successful sending notification, she chuckled to herself.

I didn't expect that this long-buried secret would be uncovered.

She gave up. The person opposite her knew much more than she thought.

He used the photo of Kudo Shinichi to provoke her at the beginning, and when the initiative was in her hands, he used the second photo to make her lose the desire to resist.

He was tricked. This person knows himself very well.

However, if this person's purpose was to destroy the experimental site, she had no reason to stop him.

Her only concern...

[Have you ever secretly destroyed an experimental site?]

The message came again, but Vermouth had given up thinking about it.

[No. ]

[Received. Thank you for your cooperation. Please forget about our conversation tonight.]

As she read the new message, the text began to delete from the back to the front, including the two photos.

In the end, it was as if nothing had happened.

"boom!"

There was a loud thunder in the sky.

Vermouth's eyelids twitched wildly and she looked up to the window.

At some point, the moon disappeared, and the night sky, dark as ink, was instantly split by a blinding ray of light.

In an instant, a strong wind blew and the sound of heavy rain resounded across the earth, hitting the windows and making a loud noise.

"Ring ring ring——"

"Ring ring ring——"

The landline in the room rang with a whistling sound outside the window.

Vermouth strode up to pick up the phone and stopped the annoying voice.

"Ms. Brown, there is a package for you at the front desk. Do you need us to deliver it to your room?"

Vermouth regained consciousness at this moment, and returned to her usual dignified and elegant appearance: "I'm counting on you."

The express was delivered very quickly. It was a small document bag, and it felt like a box from the outside.

Vermouth was full of doubts and opened it carefully.

The box is very light and when you open it you will see three photos.

One picture of Kudo Shinichi, one picture of Edogawa Conan, and one picture of a girl.

Vermouth's hands and feet suddenly turned cold, and she called the front desk: "Who sent the express?"

"Huh? He's just an ordinary courier. He's still sorting out other orders here. Do you need him to answer the phone?"

"immediately!"

The call was transferred to the courier, and Vermouth asked hurriedly: "Who gave this to you?"

That person must be nearby to have delivered the photos at the right time.

The courier only realized which one the woman on the other end of the phone was talking about after being reminded by the front desk. He scratched his head and recalled:

"It was a child who asked if I could deliver it. Madam, is there something wrong with the package?"

Vermouth took a long breath and calmed down: "No, no, sorry for disturbing you."

She picked up the three photos again and stared at them for a long time.

Finally, she went to the bathroom and pulled out her lighter.

The flames danced in the air, the three photos were gradually eroded, and the remaining ashes were washed away by the rushing water.
