Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke

I have to find out what my uncle thinks now, otherwise it won't work if I try to counter his moves.

"Xiaolan?"

Kurokawa Keizawa deliberately slowed down his reaction: "You mean the daughter of the Mori detective?"

"Yes," Vermouth was speechless: "I just said goodbye to her, uncle, don't tell me you've forgotten now?"

She definitely doesn't believe it!

"It's just common social etiquette."

"Social etiquette?"

When did my uncle care about these things?

Kurokawa Keizawa put the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "After all, he has a child. That guy is very familiar with the child of the Mori detective family."

"That's it."

Vermouth leaned one hand on the car window and looked at the scenery outside the window: "I didn't expect that uncle, you care so much about this child."

They have all started to build good relationships with other parents.

Why didn't my uncle take such care of her when he was raising her?

Kurokawa Keizawa glanced at Vermouth who was obviously starting to get upset.

"Jealous?"

"No."

Vermouth answered quickly.

"Oh."

Belmode: "..."

Uncle is a straight man!!!

Can't you say a few more words to comfort her?

Vermouth sighed and turned to look out the window. The building in front of her was rapidly receding.

She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a close call.

Kudo Shinichi's true identity was almost discovered by his uncle.

My uncle is such a smart person.

If they were discovered, wouldn't that be...

When Vermouth thought of this, she suddenly felt the blood flowing backwards and her whole body turned cold.

She seemed to have overlooked something important.

Even she could figure it out with just a little investigation.

My uncle is such a smart man and we have been together for such a long time, how could he not discover the child’s true identity?

unless……

Vermouth's fingers trembled slightly.

Unless my uncle doesn't intend to say it...

'Click. '

The sound of a pistol being pulled the trigger was close to my ears.

Vermouth turned her head towards the driver's seat, and the opening of the pistol was pointed directly at her forehead.

My uncle, who had been smiling just now, now looked gloomy.

Vermouth saw the corner of her uncle's mouth curled up and said, "I don't know whether I should be disappointed or happy for you."

Vermouth's pupils shrank: "...Uncle."

At this moment, there were only two words left in Vermouth's heart.

It’s over.

She suddenly remembered what her uncle had said about Kudo Shinichi when she had just returned from New York.

And when Kudo Shinichi showed up this time, his uncle could have dealt with him on the spot without notifying her.

But why tell her this?

If everything concerning Kudo Shinichi so far was planned by his uncle.

Has her uncle already suspected her?

Vermouth swallowed.

And that shuttle patrol.

Is he also my uncle's subordinate?

Are you here to test her this time?

But before that, she had never done anything harmful to the organization.

There is no way that he would be suspected of being a rat!

Why did her uncle doubt her?

Kurokawa Keisawa didn't even need to look at Vermouth's expression to know what she was thinking.

He raised the corners of his lips and answered her question: "Vermouth, I raised you."

An 'uncle' who was raised from a little girl to her current appearance.

Others may not understand, but in his eyes.

It was easy to know what was going on in this little girl's mind.

Kurokawa Keizawa chuckled, put away the gloom on his face and turned back into his gentle and bright self.

He threw the gun in his hand into Belmore's arms.

Vermouth was just about to think about protecting Kudo Shinichi even if she died, but her thoughts suddenly stopped.

Belmode: "?"

what happened?

What just happened?

Shouldn't she and her uncle be fighting to the death with rivers of blood flowing?

Why was the gun suddenly put in her hand?

The gun is still loaded!

"Pfft, cough, cough."

Kurokawa Keizawa turned his face away, covered his lips with his right fist and laughed wildly.

Vermouth was even more confused by this laugh.

Two minutes later, Kurokawa Keisawa finally stopped laughing.

"Don't worry, after all, you are my niece who was raised by me. At least I won't do anything to you now."

Belmode: "..."

what?

Is it because she is your niece that you don't do anything?

real or fake?

Is it really possible that my uncle, such a cold-blooded guy, would stop just because we are related by blood?

What do you mean you won't do anything to her now?

You're going to kill her after all, right?

What's the difference between killing her now and killing her a few days later?

Aren't you really afraid that after you separate from her, she will go out and inform that kid Kudo Shinichi?

I really don’t understand what my uncle is thinking!

Kurokawa Keizawa glanced at Vermouth.

"Don't you think it's interesting?"

Vermouth was puzzled: "What's interesting?"

As soon as the question was asked, Vermouth understood.

My uncle’s two major pursuits in life.

First, do something exciting, like experimenting with your own body.

The second is to find or cultivate opponents.

In the Shuichi Akai incident that year, my uncle clearly acted as if he had known for a long time that Shuichi Akai was an undercover agent.

However, he still secretly trained that guy to the top of the organization like a parasite.

Just to be able to compete with Akai Shuichi in the end.

They don't care at all how much losses the organization has suffered due to Shuichi Akai's defection.

I guess my uncle saw the shadow of his long-desired opponent in Kudo Shinichi.

I want to train an opponent again like I did before, like raising a Gu.

Should we say that boy is lucky or unlucky.

He was lucky because since his uncle had regarded him as a rival who could be trained, the kid wouldn't die so easily at this stage.

Unfortunately, since he is regarded as a rival who can be trained by his uncle, it will be impossible for this kid to have an easy life like before.

She temporarily understood why her uncle spared her life.

The environment around Kudo Shinichi is too pure, so she is needed to increase Kudo Shinichi's strength.

Vermouth sighed and put the loaded gun back in her hand.

Since her little trick had already been discovered by her uncle, she might as well work for him temporarily.

Being seen through like this, he wouldn't be able to escape for a few days even if he tried to run away.

It would be better to join my uncle's plan and protect the two children in secret.

In a few days, find a substitute who is closer to the two children and observe the situation first.

"I've found a replacement for you."

Keisawa Kurokawa handed a business card to Vermouth.

"Tomoaki Niide, the school doctor of Teitan High School, is quite suitable."

Vermouth curled her lips and took the business card.

Really.

The identity has already been found for her.

Should we say that my uncle really has nothing left out?

Apart from other things, Kudo Shinichi is a very capable guy.

Are you really not afraid of getting yourself into trouble?

But it must be said that she and her uncle are really in sync and they chose the same substitute.
