Conan: Begins to collaborate with Miss Bayonetta and become famous

Inside a gloomy and dark high-rise building.

"Sir, this is too risky...if something happens to her..."

"Just give her a little hint."

A mechanical voice came from the screen.

"So...will the microprocessor continue to investigate further?"

"No need. This time it's just a warning. I can use her to execute Jundu."

"She should understand the meaning now."

"By the way, sir...are you sure you want to kill him? Isn't he very loyal to you?"

"Your words are a bit dense, believe it or not, I will remove them along with you."

"No.....No, no, I won't say any more."

"Then...when will Cointreau be released from the confinement room?"

"When they crack the information, of course."

In the ward.

"Ding."

Vermouth loosened her hands that were tightly holding the wine and checked the message.

[A murder case also happened here, it should be similar to yours. - Du Wei]

[A male corpse was found in a river in Nagano Prefecture. He looked familiar, and seemed to be someone under Cointreau. ——Duwei]

Baijiu hurriedly sat up and rested his chin on Vermouth's shoulder to look around.

"Ask him if there's a number on his head."

Just as he finished speaking, a message came from Vermouth's cell phone.

[There is also a number engraved on the man's head, it is "14", take a look to see if you have any clues. - Du Wei]

"Who does he belong to?" Baijiu asked.

"I seem to have seen him. He seems to be from Cointreau." Vermouth pursed her lips, a trace of solemnity flashing across her eyes.

Baijiu was pondering in his mind, sorting out the clues.

Vermouth slowly stood up and spoke softly.

"Just take good care of your body, and leave the rest to me."

"Why, do you still want to act alone?"

Baijiu grabbed Vermouth's wrist tightly.

"Aren't the injuries and losses you've suffered in the past few days enough?"

"Then I can't bring a few remnants of the army with me." Vermouth said proudly, staring at the liquor.

"I have the right to let you in, and I also have the right to let you out."

"Besides, I have always acted on my own before, and I have seen all kinds of situations."

"I think we're both on the same page." Baijiu raised his eyebrows, with a somewhat disdainful tone, and asked instead of answering.

"If I hadn't pushed you away, you might have been blown to pieces now." Baijiu sneered.

"Liquor!!!"

"what do you mean."

"You've been a little rebellious these few days since I was away."

Vermouth picked up the pistol and aimed it at him.

He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head, and hummed lightly.

Looking at Vermouth's angry expression, he sighed helplessly.

“Why do we have to be the bad guy to each other?”

Baijiu smiled indifferently and got up from the hospital bed.

"Don't blame me if you get disabled." Vermouth supported Baijiu's shoulders.

"I just had a simple burn, it's nothing serious. It's just a minor injury in the organization."

He patted the bed board beside him, motioning for Vermouth to sit next to him.

"Calm down, I know what you mean."

"You'd better not give me—"

Baijiu put his right hand around Vermouth's slender waist, and she leaned in his arms, with her forehead resting on Baijiu's neck.

Baijiu said softly.

"I won't go into the deeper details. Let's just analyze the clues on the surface."

Although Vermouth's face was full of disdain, she did not resist. She leaned on Baijiu's shoulder and listened quietly.

"I want to ask you, how do you go to find him?"

"Aimlessly searching? Do you have any idea?"

"This is not like your style. What you really mean is that you don't want me to get involved in this matter, right?"

"Don't feel guilty. I will do this no matter how many times it happens."

"I understand you. I've understood you since the time you became a new doctor."

Baijiu looked into Vermouth's eyes.

"Because of this matter——"

Baijiu gently covered Belmode's dry lips and looked at her with soft and warm eyes.

"Time is very tight now. Maybe the fifth murder will happen soon."

Baijiu looked down at the time and said seriously.

He let go of her hand, picked up the glass of water on the table and handed it to Vermouth.

"Do you understand the meaning of what he left behind?"

Vermouth took it with both hands and replenished her water.

"Yes, because you told me to think in the simplest way and not to delve into it."

“The answer popped into my mind immediately.”

"Say it!"

"You have to promise that I will go with you."

Baijiu raised his eyebrows and stared at Vermouth with his almond-shaped eyes.

"Otherwise you wouldn't have known where Cointreau was right away."

"If you ask someone now, or crack it yourself."

"There may not be enough time, and it will be even harder to find it then."

Vermouth smiled indifferently, shook her head helplessly, and hooked her little finger to make a pinky promise with Baijiu.

"First, the first case is that the man who used to be Cointreau's confidant, and is now Jägermeister's confidant, was found dead in an alley. The number is 9."

"The second case happened in the park. The victim was a Jägerman. The number was 5."

"The third case happened at the Safety Education Center. The victim was also from Jägermeister. The number is 5."

"The fourth case occurred in a river in Nagano. The victim was from Cointreau. The number is 14."

“Then let’s put it all together.”

“I is the ninth letter among the 26 letters of the English alphabet.”

“E is the fifth letter among the 26 letters of the English alphabet.”

“‘N’ ranks 26th among the 14 letters of the English alphabet.”

"The remaining number is 4, which represents "D"!"

"That means I need, right?" Vermouth added.

“The English word for road is Way.”

“Education is in English.”

“Park is the English word for park.”

“River is the English word for river.”

"P we take the first letters and it's P w e r."

"That means... the rest of the things happened in the office?" Vermouth suddenly realized.

"Yes, it's Power."

“I need power.”

“I need power.”

Vermouth couldn't help but continue Baijiu's words.

"Inquire right now which of the three of them is the most trusted confidant who is working in an office environment under disguise."

"Champagne." Vermouth pursed her lips and frowned.

"Champagne's most loyal confidant, working for the company "Ningkong Technology" in Kanagawa."

"What's his name?" Baijiu asked.

"Margaux."

Vermouth swallowed, becoming increasingly confused about champagne.

"Let's go, there's a good chance Cointreau will show up there."

"There is only one goal now! To kill Cointreau."

Baijiu and Vermouth smiled at each other and came down from the hospital.

"Ding."

"Did that adult reply?" Baijiu stepped on the accelerator and asked.

"Yes, I sent everything you just said."

"The memory is fine." Baijiu stroked the ends of Vermouth's hair.

"That gentleman said that Jundu was assassinated for the crime of intentionally murdering a high-ranking official, being a traitor, and secretly establishing an organization."

"We have now sent out members of our organization to burn down all of his industries and companies in one fell swoop."

"What about Margaux? Can you contact her?"

"No, we've lost contact."

"Did Champagne say that?" Baijiu said with a hint of meaning.

"Yes, I couldn't get in touch with him just now, but we were able to talk in the morning." Vermouth bit her lip, thinking thoughtfully.

"Champagne said they are sending people to Kanagawa."

"Okay, you can take a nap on the way. The journey will take nearly three hours."

If that's the case, there's no need to work so hard.

This guy Cointreau must have touched the interests of Jägermeister and Champagne.

The organization is really full of intrigue.

In Kanagawa Prefecture, in a forest next to Ningkong Technology.

"Shh!"

A bucket of ice water was poured over Cointreau’s head.

"Hu, hu, hu."

Jundu was trembling all over, breathing heavily, and looking forward with a dazed look in his eyes.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"I will never have such crooked thoughts again."

"Please, let me go, okay?"

"I have followed your lines and your requests."

"Can you give me a chance?"

Cointreau said with his neck twitching and drooling.

"I can let you go, but the time is not right yet."

The executioner held the knife and stared at Jundu fiercely.

"Then let's see if you can change your fate."

"The plane ticket, cell phone, and gun are all in a car not far outside."

"Alive! Then you can fly away."

"Die! Then you will be infamous forever!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Three and a half hours later, Baijiu drove to the Ningkong Technology Building and found several police cars and private cars parked downstairs.

"Beibei, don't sleep anymore, it's time to get up." Baijiu said softly.

Vermouth half opened her eyes.

"Don't call me such disgusting names in real life. It sounds uncomfortable."

"And I just closed my eyes, I wasn't asleep."

Vermouth said this with one mouth and one mind.

"Ding."

"Stop arguing at this time. Did Margot get murdered?" Baijiu looked at Vermouth.

"Yes, it's been three hours since the murder."

"Just as you said."

"The number 4 was left at the scene."
