Chapter 443: Trap, Plan

Chapter 443: Trap, Plan
According to Conan, on the day we returned from Miyano Atsushi's villa, Xiaolan and Sonoko went to have dinner with Judy because Judy suddenly resigned. For this reason, Xiaolan and Sonoko planned to have dinner with Judy as a farewell gift.

In the evening, Conan called Xiaolan. It seemed that Xiaolan encountered a case while preparing food, but Xiaolan solved the case by herself. In the end, with the help of Conan, the case was solved perfectly, and Xiaolan went to Judy's house with Sonoko.

However, when she came back, Xiaolan looked depressed and no one knew what happened. Conan asked her about it, but Xiaolan just shook her head and did not answer.

"Did Xiaolan find something with Judy?" I was a little confused, but now Xiaolan is still at home with her father and Sonoko putting on makeup, so I feel relieved. And now I don't have much time to take care of Xiaolan, after all, Vermouth is about to call, and this is the main task.

Conan doesn't need to do anything for this mission, but there are still some things that need his help. That is, Conan needs to cover for us at the doctor's side, and also help Hattori deal with his Kansai accent at home, and leave with Shiho in case of an emergency.

To be safe, Yukiko and I made a fake mask for Conan, and the mask looks like me. This way, Conan's whereabouts can be successfully concealed, and the probability of Hattori being exposed will be reduced. At the same time, my disguise will also mislead Vermouth to a certain extent, reducing the possibility of being exposed.

The mission was confirmed and we began the preparations. There was only one day left until the Halloween party set by Vermouth. Although I didn’t know how Vermouth planned to do it, I had to make all the preparations I could.

The next evening, after putting on makeup, Shiho, Conan and I all sat in the doctor's house. At this time, we were all chatting using pens, and there was a recording of the conversation between the doctor and Conan on our table to confuse us.

Right next to us, the fully armed Ningyue and Ningshuang were leaning against the wall. If there was any unusual noise or order, they would draw their guns at the first moment.

The reason for communicating in writing instead of speaking is to paralyze the two sets of eavesdropping devices in the house. I believe that if the organization takes action, the FBI will not stop there and will definitely take certain actions.

Because of the existence of me as a third party, it is still unknown whether I will stand on the side of the FBI or Vermouth. It depends on what kind of attitude Vermouth holds.

On the other side, Yukiko and Hattori had already put on their makeup and followed Hattori to the cruise party. Ningxue was also with them, which was the final guarantee for their safety. After all, there must be a lot of organized people at the cruise party, and everyone was wearing makeup, so there was no need to worry about them being exposed. In addition, her father was also going, so Ningxue could also be protected by her father.

"Kaoru, what would you do if you were to face the organization?" In the basement, Conan finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked me in a low voice.

"What else can we do? Fight." I shrugged and answered in the same low voice. "Although I know you want to take this opportunity to dig deeper into the organization, this time is different. This time I am a third party and it is very likely that I will be attacked from both sides by the FBI and the organization. And the target this time is Shiho. Although your name has been exposed, believe me, Shiho is the target this time. You just need to wait here peacefully. By the way, please keep an eye on Shiho for me."

"That's true, but it's rare for us to be ahead of the organization. I always feel unwilling to give up like this."

"Better safe than sorry." I said solemnly. "I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy about this incident."

"Did we miss something?" Conan began to think, but he couldn't grasp any clues. "Uncle, my mother, Hattori, and your men are safe. Doctor, you, me, and Huibara are safe. Xiaolan is at home, safe. Who else is missing? Aunt Eri?"

"There's definitely no problem with my mom, but I always feel like I missed a beat somewhere, and I can't figure it out for the time being." I scratched my head, "Forget it, never mind, the organization is about to attack, anyway this time..."

Didi, beep, beep.

Before he could finish his words, the sound of the phone came through, which made all of us tense up in an instant.

"Coming." A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I answered the phone in Xiaoai's voice.

"Hello, Dr. Agasa." I used a soft voice to imitate Shiho's voice perfectly.

"Oh, good evening." The voice on the other end was a male voice. This voice was very familiar. It was the voice of Tomoaki Aida, who was dressed in formal Vermouth casual clothes. "Hello, I'm Dr. Aida. Is the doctor home?"

"No, he's not here. I think he and Edogawa went somewhere."

"Eh? But I seemed to hear their voices..."

"It's the tape recorder. It's been playing since a while ago. Since I just woke up, I don't know what's going on."

"Is that so? Sorry to disturb your rest." Tomoaki Niide's voice was full of guilt. If I didn't know Sister Bei's acting skills, I might have been deceived by now.

"By the way, where is that little boy you were very close to?"

"Kaoru?" I raised my eyebrows. Sister Bei really didn't forget to ask about my situation. "I don't know. He said that Uncle Maori is going to a party. He should be at home with Sister Xiaolan at this time, right?"

"Really? I thought he would come to accompany you." "My cold has not healed yet, and I don't want to infect him, so I didn't leave him here." Sister Bei wants to check my location? Is she trying to get me out of the way or involve me?

"By the way, what do you want to talk to the Doctor about so late at night?" I continued the topic.

"Ah, actually, I was calling to see you."

"Oh?"

"Because I heard that your cold hasn't gotten better, I wanted to take you to a hospital with better facilities for a checkup, so I found a doctor I know. But unfortunately, he has to go on a business trip and is only free tonight. That's why I called you so anxiously. I wonder if it's convenient for you to go with me now? As for Dr. Agasa, I will call him later. Of course, if you don't want to go, don't force yourself."

After all, she is Sister Bei, and her words were expressed perfectly. If I didn't go, she would call the doctor and then tell me that the doctor allowed him to pick me up.

Of course, whether we fight the doctor or not, he will come eventually. In that case, let's change the battlefield. I don't want to blow up the doctor's house when the fight really starts.

"I don't mind. I'll tell the doctor. I also hope I can recover soon so that everyone won't worry about me."

"That's great. Well, I'll be at the doctor's house to pick you up in about an hour. We'll see you later."

"it is good."

After a simple reply, I hung up the phone. Vermouth's target was clearly Shiho. This phone call had proven from many aspects that Vermouth had asked everyone except me about their whereabouts and made sure that no one would disturb them during the operation.

The fish has been hooked, and now it’s time to collect the net.

Back in the basement, I told Shiho and Conan to stay here and not move, and I would handle everything. Shiho nodded slightly to agree to my plan. Although Conan wanted to refute and help, he nodded and gave up. In the range of the bug, he finally chose not to do anything unnecessary.

About thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang. After giving Shiho a reassuring look, I put on my coat and walked towards the door.

"I'm coming." I adjusted my voice to Xiao Ai's, walked to the door and opened it, while my hand behind my back tightly grasped my gun. I opened the door.

"HELLO~"

The door opened a crack, and the person who appeared in front of me was not Vermouth, but... Judy Saint Timilion.

"Who are you? Teacher Judy?" My eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that the FBI had heard my phone call with Vermouth, and they were ready to strike first.

As I said this, I quietly loaded the gun in my hand. This was to prevent my identity as Xun from being exposed.

"Yes!" Judy chuckled. "I'm sorry to come to your place so suddenly so late. I hope I didn't scare you, little sister. We have met twice before."

"Yes, I remember. What can I do for you?" From her tone, Judy didn't know my identity, otherwise she wouldn't be so polite. At this point, I also quietly put the gun hidden behind my back into the necklace. Under the cover of the door, she shouldn't be able to see anything.

"Oh~ It's like this, I received a call from Dr. Shinichi, his car had some problems on the road. So he asked me to pick you up. I wonder, little sister Huiyuan, would it be convenient for you to open the anti-theft chain?"

"...Is it such a coincidence?" I narrowed my eyes slightly, but still opened the chain.

"Oh~sorry, are you alone at home?" After entering the room, Judy looked around and saw no one else.

"Well, I'm the only one here now. I don't know where the doctor has gone." I looked at Judy's back, but I had already unconsciously bent my legs slightly and lowered my center of gravity. Once Judy made a move to draw her gun, I would kill her the first time.

"Really?" However, Judy didn't seem to be aware of the danger. After looking around, she turned to look at me. "Well, if you don't mind, let's go now. If it's too late, the doctor we contacted will have to rest."

"Okay." I stood up straight and nodded, letting Judy hold my hand and walk out the door.
