In a luxurious apartment in Manhattan, New York, USA.
Vermouth was casually perched by the window, dressed in a short, elegant skirt. Her long, fair, beautiful legs were propped on the balcony, her delicate feet exquisite, her toenails painted with a dazzling, colorful polish.
Outside the window flowed the magnificent Hudson River, and across the river, one could see the bustling and luxurious buildings of metropolitan New York.
A strange nursery rhyme music suddenly rang out from not far away. Vermouth, her lips curving into a smile, extinguished the lady's cigarette she was holding in her hand in an ashtray. Only then did she stretch lazily. She walked to the balcony and picked up her phone from the tea table.
"Boss!"
"An important member has lost contact in Cocoon? She has intelligence on special agents from various countries in her handsâ?"
"Alright, I understand. When I go to Cocoon, I will cooperate with other members of the organization for investigation."
Her slender fingers lightly pressed the hang-up button. A hint of a smirk appeared at the corner of Vermouth's lips. "Boy, we finally meet again."
...
"Conan, there's a new aquarium opening in Tokyo! Why don't we all go together this weekend?"
On the streets of Tokyo, several elementary school students walked along the roadside, chatting excitedly.
Ayumi's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she looked at the advertisement for the aquarium's opening on a tall screen in the distance, excitedly shouting, "Okay..."
Conan said weakly. "Ah, accompanying a group of elementary school students to play is a lesson that feels like re-taking elementary school courses for him. It's simply torture."
Genta grabbed Conan's neck. "Hey, Conan, why do you look so reluctant?!"
"Ow, ow, ow, Genta, be gentle. How could I be reluctant? I'm just feeling a bit unwell!"
Conan felt a moment of depression. He never expected that after shrinking, he would still be bullied by elementary school students. Aren't you just trying to show off your fatness!
Genta quickly let go of Conan, and asked, confused, "Huh? Unwell? Conan, are you okay?"
"Ahahaha, it's nothing, nothing. I just didn't sleep well," Conan chuckled twice, scratching his head awkwardly.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, in a deserted parking lot, he saw a car.
"Is that a Porsche 356A? License plate is... That's right, that's the one Gin told me about, the car of the Black Organization member called Gin! "
Conan never expected that in such a huge city like Tokyo, he would actually see that car!
His mind raced. He had no trust in Gin at all; he even suspected that Gin might be using him to deal with Vodka.
But knowing that the other party was using him, should he do nothing? No, with Conan's character, or rather, Kudo Shinichi's, he would never give up any opportunity to obtain more information about the Black Organization.
"Sherry threatened my family. I can't get any more information from her. I can't miss this Gin."
Thinking of this, Conan immediately made an excuse and tactfully slipped away from the elementary school students.
When Genta, Ayumi, and the others left, he stealthily snuck into the parking lot.
"Good thing there are no cameras. I remember Professor Agasa taught me several ways to open this old-fashioned car lock from the outside."
"Alright, done!"
Conan easily opened the old Porsche 356A's car lock from the outside. He quickly pulled out a listening device with advanced tracking functions from his pocket, and using chewing gum, he stuck it under the car.
After doing all this, he carefully closed the car door, removing all traces of his presence.
As a detective who often solves cases from details, he would always pay attention to any 'crime' in detail.
That person was extremely terrifying. He absolutely could not expose himself.
Leaving the parking lot, Conan saw a McDonald's on the second floor of the building opposite. He secretly thought, Perfect, and ran to McDonald's to buy some food, then sat by the window to wait.
He didn't have to wait long. Two men in black walked into the parking lot.
"Wait, those two... That's right, those are the two men in black who gave me the poison at the amusement park! So he's Gin!"
Conan clenched his hands tightly. Seeing his enemies, he desperately wanted to rush down and blast them!
Gin was extremely sensitive to light. His steps paused slightly as he walked into the parking lot, and he looked around.
Vodka asked suspiciously, "Big Brother, what's wrong?"
"I always feel like someone is watching us."
"Someone watching?"
Vodka was startled and quickly searched around.
Conan on the second floor opposite immediately lowered his head and ate his fries.
This guy is really amazing. I just glanced at him a few times, and he actually sensed it.
Fortunately, Conan was a child right now. After searching around, Gin didn't find anyone, so he and Vodka got into the car.
Conan quickly pressed the switch on his glasses, listening to the conversation between the two.
The Porsche 365A drove into the streets of Tokyo.
In the car, Gin smoked, then spoke: "Vermouth sent a mission. His confidant, Kir, has disappeared."
"Disappeared? Did Kir betray us?"
"I don't know the specifics. Vermouth told me to steal important intelligence from the CIA and the NYPD. No matter if it's betrayal or some other reason, we must find her."
"But Big Brother, Tokyo is so big. Where do we look for her? If she just flew out of Cocoon by plane, it would be even harder to find her."
"The last place she was known to be is near the aquarium. We'll start searching from there. Vermouth will also participate, along with official members like Bell, Chianti, Korn, and others, and a small elite team has already entered Cocoon."
"So many people came? This is a rare major event!" Vodka said excitedly as he drove.
"What about the helicopter I asked you to prepare?"
"Big Brother, I didn't get Apachi, but I found a Gyrocopter!"
"A Gyrocopter? That's enough then." Gin nodded with satisfaction.
The last time he was at the pharmaceutical research institute in the Tokyo suburbs, he was startled by Apachi. Now that he had secured a Gyrocopter, he was finally fearless!
Thinking of the research institute, Gin's face suddenly turned somber.
The casualty investigation there revealed that by comparing with the bottom of the surveillance footage, Sherry's body was not found there.
In other words, Sherry is very likely still alive!
"Huh, Sherry... huh?"
Gin suddenly sensed something. He lowered his head and looked at his seat, then pulled out a tiny listening device from underneath.
He stared at the listening device for a few seconds, his pupils contracting.
Vodka's expression changed. "Big Brother, we're being bugged? Who did this?"
"I don't know. Since someone can place a listening device in our car, it'll probably be hard to find them. No need to waste effort on this. As long as they're an enemy, just kill them."
Gin said coldly.
Amidst the struggle, Conan's glasses lost signal.
What a formidable guy. He found the listening device so quickly, but I've already gotten enough information.
Conan said excitedly, "...Vermouth, Kir, Chianti, Bell, Korn. This organization really uses alcohol as codenames. And they're going to investigate the aquarium? Then I have no choice but to go too."
...
Light-based codenames are useless. Conan wanted to investigate the appearances and identities of those people even more.
"But just me alone might be dangerous. Fujiwara Tetsu is a CIA member. If I can get this report to him... No, Sherry has always been by his side. If I tell him, Sherry will definitely discover it."
Conan shook his head. That vicious woman who created terrifying drugs. If possible, he really wanted to send her to prison, to suffer the punishment she deserved!
...
In the living room of a Western-style house in Northern Tokyo, the TV was playing the news.
"Hollywood's famous star, Chris Vineyard, will soon be coming to Cocoon for a new movie's promotion..."
Fujiwara Tetsu sat on the sofa, drinking coffee, watching the beautiful image of Vermouth on TV.
At a bar not far away, Haibara Ai stopped typing on her keyboard and said playfully, "Someone's fanatically obsessed with a celebrity?"
"I know her."
"You know Chris Vineyard? You're not going to say she's actually your old lover, are you?"
Ai's tone was full of jealousy.
"Oh, you actually guessed right, but if I told you she's actually Vermouth, I wonder if you, Ai-chan, would be scared to death?"
...
Fujiwara Tetsu muttered inwardly. But thinking of Vermouth coming to Cocoon, he also felt uneasy.
Trouble! This woman might be passionate in bed, but she has too many opinions. Trying to control Vermouth is simply impossible.
If she knew Ai-chan was here...
"Beep beep----"
His phone vibrated. Mizunashi Rena sent him a message.
Besides Mizunashi Rena, other CIA members in Cocoon also sent similar messages to Fujiwara Tetsu.
Fujiwara Tetsu pressed the remote control and changed the channel.
"A serious car accident occurred on Tokyo's Great Bridge in the early morning. It is reported that this incident involved 6 deaths and 17 injuries. The specific casualty figures are still being confirmed."
Fujiwara Tetsu put down his coffee cup, his brows furrowed. "Mizunashi Rena has been able to confirm that the one who stole the CIA intelligence is Kir of the Black Organization."
"This matter she reported to me must also have been reported to CIA headquarters. It seems they will be dispatching missions."
Indeed, not long after, the CIA headquarters in America sent him a message: "[Bell] might have been exposed. If necessary, abandon her. I will call you shortly."
Fujiwara Tetsu's expression flickered slightly when he saw this message.
It showed that the stolen information contained detailed intelligence on Mizunashi Rena.
And as for CIA headquarters, they didn't even have the thought of rescuing Mizunashi Rena. This was the sorrow of special agents: exposure means death.
"I seem to have an impression of this matter... Ai-chan, later today I have to go to an aquarium. A large number of your organization's people will appear there."
"No, you and I will go to the aquarium together. You can't stay at home."
Fujiwara Tetsu suddenly remembered that Vermouth was coming to Cocoon.
And Vermouth knew his home address. If he went to the aquarium, Vermouth would come to his home to find him.
If he wasn't home then, no one would be there to stop her, and she would cause a lot of trouble!
Haibara Ai's expression was puzzled. She clearly knew that place was full of organization members, so why did he still want her to go?
Fujiwara Tetsu could only give her a brief explanation.
Hearing that the organization might come knocking on their door, Ai trembled like a frightened quail.
She decided that from today onwards, she would not leave Fujiwara Tetsu's side for a single step. At night, she would even burrow into the same blanket as him to sleep!
