Conan's Beginning was Picked Up by Xiaolan

In Tokyo, as night falls, the city lights become as colorful as flowers, and the crisscrossing transportation facilities on the roads constitute the blood and skeleton of the city.

And here in a small Beika-cho, in an office, a woman has been humming softly with a cheerful tone, and this has been going on for a whole week.

Xiaocheng looked at Xiaolan who was humming a song while washing dishes. It shouldn’t be necessary. The boy just said, “I like you.” He shook his head, walked out of the kitchen and lay down on the sofa.

I remembered the invitation letter Xiaolan picked up before dinner:

"Mr. Maori Kogoro, the incompetent and incompetent detective, please allow me to invite you to participate in this horrific banquet on the night of the full moon this month."

"It will be a bloody party on the boat. Of course, whether you are present or not, the poor lambs who are about to die will curse their fate..."

Xiaocheng's eyes were thoughtful, full moon? The letter was signed in English, vermouth, which translates to absinthe.

He curled his lips. "The Full Moon Chapter?" The letter was still provocative. Although he didn't remember the details of the Full Moon Chapter, he still knew a little about it.

Vermouth is planning to take action against Ai. It seems that she has never liked Ai.

The reason is very simple. The people who developed Drug A were hated by Vermouth.

It's really annoying. These days, Ge Lang has been urging me to get drug A every day. He has everything ready except for the east wind.

I was just about to pull Xiao Ai in, are you planning to attack her?

Full moon? Haha..it seems like it’s only been a few days. She sent it to her uncle, so she should have sent it to her godson.

Xiao Cheng sat up from the sofa and walked to the window. Today's moon was already very round, which meant that the full moon was coming soon....

The next day, Conan and Xiaocheng came to Dr. Agasa's house. Unfortunately, Ai caught a cold again.

Conan looked at the letter in his hand solemnly. Professor Agasa called him today and said that there was a letter for him.

But when he opened the letter addressed to Kudo Shinichi, it began with "Dear Edogawa Conan". He continued reading.

Absinthe? The town seemed to say, Vermouth?

Professor Agasa was answering a call from Xiaolan next to her, because Xiaolan called to ask about absinthe and the invitation letter. She was a little curious about who sent the letter.

Of course the doctor didn't know either. After hanging up the phone, Mingmei came over with some desserts to entertain Xiaocheng and Conan.

"Thank you, Sister Mingmei." Xiaocheng took the dessert very obediently. It was great to have something to eat just after arriving here!

Mingmei just smiled sweetly when she heard Xiaocheng's words.

Just as Xiaocheng was happily eating dessert, Xiaoai coughed twice, looked at Xiaocheng with a bit of contempt, and then she turned her gaze to Conan who was thinking.

"What do you think? Do you want to go to the ghost ship too?" Xiao Ai's voice was a little dull. She was wearing a mask, and catching a cold again made her pay attention to her body.

"Well, I just noticed the sender's name." Conan nodded, turned the letter over and looked at the signature on it.

"Do you know who it is?" The doctor was a little surprised. Xiaolan was asking him just now.

"Yeah, but Haibara, Akemi-nee, and even Kojou might know a little more than me."

Conan turned to look at the three people, and he saw Xiaocheng stuffing a piece of cake into his mouth.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if eating less would cost you your life. Sister Mingmei, you don't have to spoil him so much.

"Huh?" Mingmei was stunned. Do I know that too?

Xiao Ai looked at Conan straight, her heart sank slightly. Could it be that Conan was referring to people from the organization?

"Because Vermouth, Gin and Vodka are all names of certain kinds of liquor." Looking at Mingmei's confusion and Ai's gaze, Conan smiled slightly.

"No, I've never heard of this name, and I don't know much about wine." Xiao Ai felt slightly relieved when she heard the word Vermouth. She had never heard of it before.

"I haven't heard of it either." Mingmei looked up slightly and recalled. She really had no impression of the name of this wine.

Xiao Cheng looked in this direction and understood why the two sisters had this reaction, because in the organization, the name of Vermouth completely overshadowed Vermouth.

And the origin of Vermouth...

"This is a kind of wine produced in Italy. Vermouth is its English pronunciation, and in Japan it is generally called Vermouth." Conan explained again.

This is the origin of Vermouth. Most people in the organization are called by English names, but Absinthe is pronounced directly in Japanese, and this name has been used ever since.

As expected, Ai and Mingmei trembled slightly when they heard the name. It was obvious that they had deep memories of this code name.

Especially Xiao Ai, she knew it of course, because that woman disliked her very much and once said that she would kill her if she had the chance.

She hugged herself, a trace of fear rising in her heart. Compared to hearing about Vermouth, she was more afraid that Vermouth had already found her and might have discovered her situation.

What should I do… What should I do… I was at a loss, and panic began to condense into a vortex. Finally, when it was about to turn into fear, a pair of hands gently hugged Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai looked up, it was...my sister...

"Shiho, don't be afraid, I'm here." Mingmei had a gentle face. She felt very distressed when she saw Ai being frightened. She had rarely seen Ai since she was a child.

She hugged Xiaoai in her arms without saying anything, but Shiho, we are not afraid.

"I knew it." Conan looked at Ai with a helpless expression on his face. He should have known not to say it.

"What about this invitation letter?" The doctor then realized that the ghost ship might not be a good place.

"Hongmen Banquet." Xiaocheng clapped his hands, brushed off the food crumbs on his hands, picked up the last dessert, and walked over.

He handed the dessert in his hand to Xiao Ai: "Here, this is the last one. Eat it. Eat something sweet and your life will become a little sweeter."

Xiaocheng grinned, revealing his big white teeth, and gestured to Xiaoai in Mingmei's arms.

Ai took the dessert in a daze, looked at the smile on Xiaocheng's face, and then looked at Conan. Both of them still did not show any fear.

"It seems I have to go there." Conan stared at the line of words on the letter, Edogawa Conan, and sighed in his heart, I have to go there.

"No! You can't go! This is a trap! You will be killed if you go!" Xiao Ai was a little agitated. Why would she go if she knew it was the Hongmen Banquet!

The little town's eyes are shining, who said I'm going?

But he knew that there was a bug here, and he also knew what Vermouth was thinking, which was to lure them away and leave Ai alone.

Vermouth is sitting somewhere now, wearing headphones and puffing out cigarettes. For her, the small town is too tricky.

But since Kogoro and Conan are both there, this guy should go with them too...
