Chapter 93 The Secret Behind the Cards (8)

[Will Vermouth be the catalyst for Conan and Haibara Ai? ]

Vermouth's figure loomed in the dim warehouse, her golden hair flashing dangerously under the weak light. She held a gun in one hand, the muzzle of the gun close to Huiyuan Ai's forehead, and the other hand gracefully supported the wall, as if she was in control of everything. Her eyes were cold and sharp, as if they could penetrate Huiyuan Ai's heart.

"Hey, Shirley, do you really think you can escape the organization's pursuit?" Vermouth's voice was low and threatening. She leaned over slightly and put her mouth close to Huihara Ai's ear, "Tell me, do you like that boy? Edogawa Conan. Humph, it's ridiculous that a shrunk child can make you so worried."

Huiyuan Ai's pupils shrank instantly, and fear surged into her heart like a tide. She clenched her hands into fists, her fingertips deeply embedded in her palms, trying to use the pain to suppress the trembling in her heart. She tried to adjust her breathing and tried to make herself look calmer, but her trembling eyes betrayed her inner feelings.

"No... I didn't..." Haibara Ai's voice was weak and trembling. She didn't dare to look directly into Vermouth's eyes and could only look elsewhere.

Vermouth sneered, and she gently stroked the pistol in her hand, as if she was appreciating a work of art. "Oh? Really? But your eyes don't look like you're lying." She suddenly increased the threat in her tone, "Don't forget, your life is in my hands. As long as I want, I can send you away from this world at any time."

Huiyuan Ai's body trembled violently, and she felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. She thought of the doctor and the members of the Junior Detective Team, who might have been in danger. A huge pain surged in her heart, but she still tried to restrain herself and not let tears flow down.

Vermouth stared at Huihara Ai, the anger in her eyes seemed to be burning. She sneered and gently rubbed her finger on the trigger of the pistol, as if she was savoring the impending death. "Shirley, do you really think your answer can change anything? Tell me, what does Edogawa mean to you?"

Huihara Ai bit her lower lip tightly, fear and determination intertwined in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said in a trembling but firm voice: "To me, Edogawa is the person I least want to hurt in this world. But even so, I can't answer your question, because I can't betray him."

There was a flash of surprise in Vermouth's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by coldness. "Do you think your loyalty can save you? Shirley, the world will never be soft on you because of your loyalty." She said coldly, her finger slowly tightening on the trigger.

Huiyuan Ai closed her eyes, tears falling from her eyes. She knew that at this moment, her fate was already determined. However, at the last moment of her life, she still chose to protect the person she loved deeply.

Just as Vermouth was about to pull the trigger, a deafening roar suddenly sounded, breaking the silence around him. It was Conan's football. He used all his strength to kick the football out. The football cut through the air like a meteor and accurately hit the pistol in Vermouth's hand.

The impact of the football caused a sharp pain in Vermouth's wrist, and the pistol instantly flew out of her hand, drawing an arc in the air before falling to the ground in the distance. A trace of astonishment appeared on her face, and her eyes quickly turned to the source of the sound.

"Conan!" Vermouth shouted coldly.

"Haibara!" Conan's shout rang out at the same time, and he quickly ran towards Haibara Ai.

"Why are you here! Edogawa!" Tears flashed in Haibara Ai's eyes. The tears she had been holding back finally burst out the moment she saw Conan. She was deeply moved. She knew that as long as Conan was there, she would no longer be alone in facing this dangerous world.

"Haibara! You're here! I'm coming to find you!" Conan's voice echoed in the empty field, and he came running over.
