Chapter 444 Judy vs. Vermouth
Chapter 445: Judy vs. Vermouth
"Cough cough cough..." In Judy's car, I pretended to cough intentionally or unintentionally, while Judy was driving with a smile on her face and humming a tune, but in fact, I could feel her heartbeat had begun to accelerate. After all, right behind her, Vermouth's car had been hoisted up early.

At this point, everything has become clear. Judy is now leading Vermouth to a certain place step by step and preparing to attack her.

"Can I ask a question, Teacher Judy?" I said in Xiao Ai's unclear voice.

"Oh~ Of course you can, Ai-chan."

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

"Of course I'll take you to the doctor's house where you have an appointment." Judy was still acting.

"You mean Dr. Shinde?"

"Yes."

"Dr. Shinde's car is right behind yours, why don't you stop?"

"Oh? Really?" At this moment, Judy put away her fake smile. "Ai-chan, did you see it wrong?"

"Stop pretending. We stopped at four traffic lights along the way. There's no way you didn't see him." I didn't intend to cover up anything. At least at this time I had to find out whether Judy was coming for Shiho or me.

"Hehe, Ai-chan, although you are young, the tone of your voice doesn't sound like a child at all."

"So, Teacher Judy, who is it? Why did you kidnap me?" My tone was neither slow nor slow, but my hand was already on the necklace on my chest.

"Oh, no, I didn't kidnap you." Judy regained her FBI seriousness. "I was protecting you."

"Hmm?" I looked up at Judy. "Is someone trying to hurt me?"

"Of course, that guy hanging behind us."

"New doctor?"

"Ah, but he's not a new doctor."

"Oh?"

"Anyway, Ai-chan, the teacher might do something scary next, I hope you won't be scared." Judy stepped on the accelerator. "Although I don't think you'll be scared."

"..." I didn't respond to Judy's words. It was normal for her to have some suspicions about me. Maybe she didn't know the true identity of the little girl in front of her, but she must have been sure that I was related to the organization.

"So, what is your true identity, Teacher Judy? How can I trust you?"

"Well..." Judy had a playful smile on her face. "A secret makes a woman woman."

“…” In response to this sentence, I could only raise my eyebrows and shut up in dismay.

Well, let me see what kind of tricks the FBI and Vermouth can play.

I didn't say anything extra along the way. I just saw Judy drive the car to the harbor. It was strange that Vermouth would follow so closely. Wasn't she afraid of being discovered? Or was she confident and had already made preparations here?
According to Sister Bei's habit, driving so close to her was definitely not for tracking, but to follow Judy blatantly to where she wanted to go.

I don’t know if Judy is stupid or not, and whether she will take advantage of this trick.

Squeak!!!!
Finally, after a beautiful drift, Judy stopped the car in the middle of the road, and Vermouth, who was following behind Judy, also hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the two cars confronted each other face to face.

About thirty seconds later, the corners of Judy's mouth finally rose with some excitement.

"Ai-chan, just stay in the car and don't move. The teacher will be back soon." After saying that, Judy got out of the car. At the same time, Vermouth on the opposite side did the same.

I rolled down the car window a little to make sure I could hear the conversation between the two people outside, and at the same time I looked around.

The harbor where we were located was surrounded by containers. The choice of this place undoubtedly told me that the scene should be full of FBI personnel. You know, it is too easy to hide a dozen or twenty people in this place.

But the more this happened, the more I felt that Vermouth was behind this. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to confront the FBI alone, even if she really wanted to kill Shiho.

"Oh~ Mr. Shinde, it's so late, what's the matter with you following me all the way?" Through the window, I heard the conversation between Vermouth and Judy.

"I should be the one asking you this, right?" Shinide Tomoaki stepped forward with a serious face, "What exactly do you want to do with that child?"

"no~no~no~I just took her for a ride." Seeing Tomoaki Niide walking forward, Judy walked to the center of the car without saying a word, blocking the view of Tomoaki Niide and me with her body.

"This woman..." I pursed my lips at Judy's behavior. I couldn't see her, and if she drew her gun or made other moves, I wouldn't be able to take action immediately.

Although this is indirect protection, I don't have a good impression of the FBI. This is also why Judy didn't know that I was the Ice Wine who beat up the FBI that year, otherwise she would have pulled out a gun and shot me.

"Unlike you, the doctor, I have a lot of free time. You have to testify in court soon because of the previous case. In fact, it was Miss Hikaru Yasumoto who pulled the trigger. But you concealed the fact that she killed your father."

"You said it was Xiaoguang who pulled the trigger?" Niide Tomoaki was a little surprised.

"Hmm?" Listening to the conversation between Judy and Tomoaki Aida, my eyebrows raised slightly. According to what Conan told me the last time, it seemed that the case in Tomoaki Aida's house had nothing to do with guns. Now he suddenly mentioned the word trigger. Is he trying to trick Vermouth?
If Judy didn't have absolute evidence, she wouldn't have used this method, but...

This is too much, isn't it? Why not just arrest people? What are you talking about? The villain dies because... No, the good guy also dies because he talks too much... Bah, I can't even tell who is the good guy and who is the villain from my perspective now, anyway, stop talking and get down to business, okay?

"Don't rush to hide it. I heard everything from Mr. Maori." Judy was still lying. He had never even met my dad.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The murderer in that case is my stepmother. Besides, my father didn't die from a gunshot wound but from electric shock." Niide Tomoaki continued to refute.

It's not that I'm refuting it, but the reality is that Vermouth's source of information is just the records in the murder case file.

"You said he died of electric shock, not gunshot wounds? Huh~hahahaha." Judy started laughing.

"Damn, is this woman having a chuunibyou? Either take action or run away. Why are you just standing here with me?" Looking at Judy's back, I wanted to pull out my gun and shoot her through the glass. What was she was wasting time on? She already knew that the person in front of her was Vermouth, but she still took action first.

However, considering that I don't know how many FBI agents are there, I dare not move my hands yet. If I am surrounded, I may not be able to escape unscathed with my current small body.

"Sorry, I didn't explain it clearly just now. The trigger I mentioned just now refers to the circuit breaker. Although it was the murderer who tampered with the circuit breaker in order to kill people, it was the Bao Benguang who actually pulled the circuit breaker. In order not to cause any harm to her, the murderer reached a consensus with the police and fabricated a false transcript so that outsiders would not know the real method of this murder."

"What?!" Vermouth's expression changed, but she was not too panicked. Perhaps it was because Sister Bei was in a playful mood. It was really hard to act with her when facing someone who she knew was from the FBI.

"Well... it's normal that you don't know this. After all, this scene was not recorded at all in the file you stole. And your purpose in stealing the record was just to continue disguising yourself as Aizawa Tomoaki after the murder. Unfortunately, you were one step behind." Judy dug deeper into Vermouth's deeds bit by bit, but she had no idea that she had been exposed long ago.

"You, who are you?" Sister Bei was performing her final act. Perhaps she just wanted to know Judy's exact identity, so she played with her for so long?
"A secret makes a woman woman. Do you remember? This is the last sentence you left me." Finally, Judy's second-year syndrome ended. Ah, no, the revelation was over, and the real confrontation with Vermouth began. "In order to remember this sentence forever, I took it as a catchphrase."

"When you left me these words, it was when you broke into my house and killed my father, right? Crispinyard! No... I should call you Vermouth!"

"...Yes, you are really amazing to be able to do this." The exposed Vermouth smiled coldly, tore off her mask, revealing her stunning face. "But, what do you mean by I killed your father?"

"Have you forgotten? That year, you broke into my house, killed my father in front of me, and left me this catchphrase. Afterwards, you burned all the evidence about your organization that my father had been searching for. But luckily, that day I remembered that the orange juice that my father drank for a long time was gone, and my mother was not feeling well, so she went out alone to buy orange juice, and thus escaped." Judy's face became serious. Thinking back to her past experiences, the hatred in Judy's eyes became stronger.

"Ah, I remember now." Vermouth gathered her long hair and smiled disdainfully. "So that little girl was you. No wonder we only found your parents' remains when we went back to look for them, but not yours. So you joined the FBI, and that stupid system that forced you to change your name in order to protect witnesses, right?"

As she spoke, Vermouth pressed the button hidden in her turtleneck, and her originally burly body began to shrink instantly. After a while, it returned to Vermouth's former proud figure.

This also means that Vermouth is ready to take action.

“Oh... You must be bored, right? Leaving your hometown and having to change your name and surname is really too hard.” Vermouth took a step back and began to prepare for battle.

"What happened next? Did you follow your father's will and start investigating me? Miss Judy Stelling of the FBI?"

"As expected of the organization's Thousand-Faced Witch, Vermouth." Judy also reported Vermouth's information directly. "If anyone had your disguise skills, it would be easy for them to invade anywhere."

"What a pity! As far as I know, besides one person who has passed away, there are three other people who possess the same ability as me. Haha, this is not good news for you FBI." Vermouth stretched out her hands and fanned herself, as if this new outfit of Shinichiro made her very uncomfortable.

"But it's remarkable that you were able to investigate the fact that I was pretending to be Shin-chan."

"Not only that, I also know that in your room, there is a photo of a young girl with short brown hair in her twenties stuck on the wall with a dart. Judging from the fork on it, you probably want to get rid of her, right?"

"Oh, have you discovered it?" Vermouth remained calm and unhurried.

"Ah, not only that, there are several other photos next to that girl." Judy's eyes were shining, as if she saw through everything.

"The brown-haired girl in the center has Sherry written under her photo. In the lower right corner of her photo, a photo of an elementary school boy has cool guy written under it. A high school girl has angle written under it. And, to the right of the girl's photo, there is a photo of a black-haired boy with a question mark on it."

"Can you explain all this to me?"

“Hahahaha.” Vermouth suddenly laughed. “Sure.” Vermouth had a wicked smile on her face and bowed her body. “Actually…”

At the moment of speaking, Vermouth had already reached her hand into her bosom. But Judy, who was an FBI agent, was also not idle. Although she seemed to be sitting in the front of the car with a nonchalant look, she had been keeping a close eye on Vermouth's every move. At the moment when Vermouth drew his gun, Judy also reached her hand into her bosom and took out her police revolver.

boom!
When the gunshots rang out, a breeze suddenly rose from the originally calm sea surface.

The battle is about to break out.
