Detective Conan: Beika Town's Complete Transformation into Los Santos

She even felt like laughing—she was amused by the sheer amount of information Lin Che had provided.

Vermouth tucked her hair behind her ear. "Can you tell me where Sherry is? I want to see her. You can come with me the whole time."

Lin Che raised his chin again, "That elementary school student is it."

Vermouth: "???"

What does this mean?

Conan Edogawa is both Shinichi Kudo and Sherry, right?

What on earth are you talking about?!

Lin Che finally saw a sufficiently obvious change in Vermouth's expression, which made him very happy, and he finally spoke up to explain:

"Your godson teamed up with Sherry to put on an act, preparing to deceive Ran, who has already begun to doubt Conan's identity."

Vermouth's mind raced, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Sherry has already developed an antidote?!"

If an antidote can be developed for Drug A, then surely an antidote for the Silver Bullet can also be developed...?

Lin Che put his arm around Vermouth's shoulder. "Do you want to watch the show first and then talk about it tonight, or do you want to clarify things now?"

Vermouth was somewhat reluctant to have physical contact with Lin Che, but circumstances forced her to comply. She wasn't unfamiliar with similar situations, so she simply snuggled into Lin Che's arms.

"You can ask me a question first, so I can see what you, who know so much about the organization, still have to be curious about."

Lin Che cut to the chase, "Tell me, is Karasuma Ren the boss of the Black Organization?"

Vermouth's eyes widened, then her mind returned to calm.

"It was him, the top tycoon who had the most wealth in all of Japan in the last century."

【Karasuma Renya (???): The leader of the Black Organization, the biggest mastermind behind the world's dark side. He has stood the test of time for over a century, and has come a very long way in his pursuit of immortality, always waiting for the opportunity to take control of the world.】

[Successfully unmasked, reward: Silver Bullet (Full Version)]

Chapter 154 Bringing Vermouth Home

Unmasking Karasuma Renya can be difficult in some ways, but easy in others.

Who are the photos from the hidden mission and the cross-age recognition system used to find?

Lin Che casually asked, "Where is Wu Wanlian hiding now? I need to talk to him about something."

Vermouth: "..."

You probably don't want to kill the Boss, do you?

However, Vermouth was unmoved by this.

If she could, she would also like Karasuma Renya to die, then everything would be fine.

but......

Vermouth shook her head. "Believe it or not, no one in the world knows where the Boss is right now."

"He has been missing for a long time, and only remotely controls various affairs within the organization through online means."

“Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if he has died of old age and if someone else is actually in control of the organization now.”

Okay, the cross-age recognition system still came in handy.

Since Vermouth doesn't know where Karasuma Renya is, we can only rely on technology.

Lin Che pondered for a moment, "So, should we watch the performance now or just leave?"

The performance on stage is about to reach its climax.

Vermouth was eager to see Shinichi Kudo, so she tried saying, "Let's watch the show first. I want to see that kid; it's been a long time."

But Lin Che simply pulled her to her feet, saying, "You actually chose it when I told you to."

Vermouth couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What kind of person is this?!

There was nothing she could do but give in to Lin Che's overly assertive attitude.

The two left in the darkness, and the onlookers only glanced at them briefly before paying no further attention.

Stepping outside, the sky had turned somewhat gloomy, as if a storm was brewing.

"Can you let go of me now?" Vermouth looked down at Lin Che's tightly clenched hand. "With your abilities, you shouldn't have to worry about me running away."

Upon hearing this, Lin Che not only didn't let go, but instead put his arm around her shoulder again. "Since you know I'm a dangerous person, all you have to do is obey. I'm sure you understand that principle."

Vermouth's heart sank.

She could compromise, but she absolutely disliked this extremely weak and unequal position.

"So, do you want to sleep with me now, or do you want to get information out of me?"

"Get the intelligence."

Lin Che has now lost the romantic feelings he had at the beginning.

Mindset changes often happen unconsciously.

To be honest, he didn't know what Vermouth had done to offend him, nor did he know where that feeling of disgust came from.

But right now, he really just wants to gather as much intelligence as possible.

Before the rain could fall, Lin Che forced Vermouth into the car and quickly drove away from Teitan Middle School.

What happens next at the school will have nothing to do with him anymore.

On the way, Lin Che asked Rum, Gin, and others about their locations.

Vermouth was very honest; she didn't know Rum's exact location either, but she directly revealed the location of Gin's organization's base.

She revealed everything, including the general building structure, personnel hierarchy, distribution, and even Gin's possible daily routine.

Lin Che couldn't help but wonder if he should just fly an armed helicopter to bomb the organization's base and take Gin's life along the way.

However, Vermouth appeared too candid. As the saying goes, the highest level of lying is nine parts truth and one part falsehood. Lin Che felt it was necessary to verify her before taking action.

It's not difficult to verify; just leave it to Rena Mizunashi, and he can simply wait for news.

It's definitely easier to be the boss.

Lin Che brought Vermouth back to the Kudo family home.

After learning that Lin Che was staying here, the thousand-faced witch's expression became incredibly complicated.

She had initially considered coming here to investigate, but then she thought that Shinichi Kudo would definitely not dare to continue living in his old house now, so she gave up the idea.

It turns out that Lin Che actually lives here.

If she had come to investigate earlier, the situation might not be so passive now.

"You brought me here, so you don't intend to let me leave again?" Vermouth scanned the furnishings in the room, which showed obvious signs of being lived in.

Lin Che nodded, "You're quite perceptive."

As soon as she finished speaking, seven or eight spider silk threads bound Vermouth tightly.

It must be said that this woman has excellent balance; she wobbled for quite a while but didn't fall.

The sudden turn of events made Vermouth's face extremely grim. "If I suddenly disappear, it will definitely trigger an all-out investigation by the organization. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Lin Che shrugged. "It doesn't matter. I was just worried about not being able to find anyone. You can ask Gin if he still dares to come looking for me."

Having a history of kidnapping Curaçao, kidnapping Vermouth would naturally be no problem for him now.

This woman just doesn't age, she's not some superhero, so let's just tie her up.

With a large amount of weaponry in hand, and even tanks and armed helicopters, Lin Che is no longer worried about his hideout being exposed.

He wished Gin would just bring his men and attack directly, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Before the carnival, Lin Che was worried that he wouldn't be able to find Vermouth easily, so he planned to use Curaçao as bait and then use Conan and Ran Mouri as his trump cards to coerce Vermouth into cooperating with him.

But after actually meeting her today, he realized that he had overestimated Vermouth and there was no need for so many complicated procedures.

Thinking of this, Lin Che suddenly retracted all the spider silk:

"I may not imprison you, but you must obediently serve me and not do anything that might make me misunderstand."

"Even if you can run away, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri can't escape."

“Karasuma Renya is very good at hiding and must be quite cautious. To kill him successfully, I will need your help, so I will spare your life now.”

Lin Che grabbed Vermouth by the neck with one hand, "But this final operation doesn't depend on you. Don't think of yourself as so important."

"To me, your existence is merely a tool to improve efficiency, understand?"

When has Vermouth ever been treated like this?

Her hair was disheveled, and she was having difficulty breathing. Her face was swollen and red from congestion.

This only made her tighten her neck and stare fiercely at Lin Che.

She didn't say a word, only wanting to convey her anger to Lin Che through her eyes.

Lin Che tightened his grip, but no matter how much pain Vermouth was in, she wasn't going to back down this time.

She has her dignity and temper too!

"As expected of you."

A moment later, Lin Che let go of her hand, turned around, and sat down on the sofa.

"You are free to move around now, but before that, tell me in full the latest core developments of the organization."

"Will you ultimately harm Shinichi Kudo and the others?" Vermouth's eyes were icy.

Lin Che raised a finger and shook it, "I have no grudge against them. I'm only targeting the organization, provided that they don't mess with me, otherwise I can't guarantee their safety."

Vermouth took a deep breath. "And what about me?"

"Although you make me very unhappy right now, I did have an initial liking for you." Lin Che casually raised his eyelids, his gaze taking in Vermouth's exquisite and delicate figure.

"I give you the freedom to choose when it comes to death."

"You can die if you want, or live if you want."

Vermouth suddenly ripped off her disguise. "I need to go back to the organization now."

"Are you coming back for dinner?" Lin Che asked calmly.

Vermouth's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

How can the other party be so brazen?!

"It depends. I'll be back if there's enough time. Tonight at the earliest, tomorrow night at the latest."

"Well, you go."

Chapter 155 Vermouth's Conversation with Gin

Vermouth didn't leave quickly; she almost looked back every few steps.

Given that Lin Che changed his mind twice, she couldn't help but worry that he might change his mind again, or that he was just teasing her and didn't actually intend to let her go.

However, Lin Che didn't try to upset her this time; he just watched her leave silently.

Once Vermouth's figure had completely disappeared, Lin Che began to ponder the questions related to Karasuma Renya.

This centenarian had hidden himself so well that even Vermouth didn't know his whereabouts.

There weren't many bottles of real liquor in the organization to begin with, and he'd already downed two of them.

When the situation becomes precarious, can Old Deng continue to remain behind the scenes?

"Could it be that I'm not putting enough pressure on you?"

Lin Che stroked his chin, his gaze deep, and immediately sent a text message to Mizunashi Rena.

Rena Mizunashi's life is too miserable.

Bearing three hidden identities, she faces immense mental pressure while also diligently working at her job.

I saw Lin Che's text message.
