Chapter 445: Moonlight Showdown
Chapter 446: Moonlit Duel

boom!
A gunshot was heard, and Vermouth's pistol was knocked down by Judy. I was sitting in the car and was a little surprised to see Vermouth's gun flying out.

Sister Bei actually missed? Was she doing it on purpose? Was she trying to get something else? Faced with this situation, I didn't make a move, but chose to continue watching.

Vermouth would not choose to come alone to confront the FBI. The two have been confronting each other until now without anyone intervening, which shows that both of them are keeping their cards close to their chests. I just don't know who will have the better skills.

"Oh my, this is really a headache. I didn't expect you to carry such a dangerous thing." Vermouth slowly raised her hands. "Have you obtained the gun license from the Japanese police?"

"I think it won't be too late to apply for cooperation with the police here in the investigation after I arrest you. Of course, you have to accept the punishment." Judy pointed the gun at Vermouth and refused to let up.

"Before that, I have another question that I need to get the answer from you."

"Really?" Vermouth's eyes flashed with a gleam of success. "What is it?"

"Why...why don't you ever get old?"

dong dong!

As soon as I said this, I felt my heart skip a beat. This sentence can reveal a lot of things, including the organization's APTX-4869 drug, Sister Bei's identity, and the FBI's mastery of this drug A. It even affects whether my identity will be discovered.

"I first noticed something wrong with you when you said that catchphrase in front of my mother's coffin, and then left fingerprints on my father's glasses. After comparing them, I discovered a fact that horrified me, that is, you and your mother, Sharon Binyard, are the same person. I was still wondering what was going on. Until now, I have met a strong witness who can explain why I hindered the police from arresting you."

"Tsk tsk, have you understood it to this extent?" Vermouth's smile remained unchanged.

This was her purpose, to learn from Judy indirectly how much the FBI knew about the organization by selling out her flaws, and then decide whether to organize any action to eliminate this threat.

Obviously, she got what she wanted.

"You guys come out and hold this woman!" Judy began to call her teammates. At the same time, she walked to the side of my car door to protect it in case Vermouth did anything else.

"I think once the Japanese police arrest you, they will make you confess everything. It doesn't matter even if you are determined not to confess anything. At least, I have saved her." Judy smiled confidently.

Indeed, in her eyes, Ai's identity overlaps with Shiho's. As long as she saves me, she can learn more about the organization.

"Oh? Really?" Vermouth's tone was full of sarcasm.

"Why are you still laughing at this time?" Judy saw Belmode's attitude and instantly became alert. But it was too late.

"Hmph, because..."

boom! ! !
On a container in the distance, a loud gunshot once again broke the tranquility of the harbor. The bullet spun rapidly and instantly penetrated Judy's body, hitting her waist and abdomen, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"Ugh!!!" The force of the bullet made Judy's whole body tense up, and she fell directly beside the car, and bright red blood spurted out instantly and landed on the car window.

"Sure enough... Calvados?" I narrowed my eyes slightly as I watched Judy slowly fall. As Vermouth's most loyal subordinate, there are only two situations where Calvados will not accompany Vermouth on a mission. One is when Vermouth is on a solo mission, and the other is when I am with Vermouth.

"Thanks, Calvados!" Vermouth lowered his raised hand and put it in his pocket. He greeted Calvados, who was holding a rifle above him, with a relaxed look. "Don't kill her yet. I still have something to ask her."

"How, how could it be!"

"Haha... naive woman." Vermouth bent down and picked up Judy's revolver.

"Do you think your companions would ambush here and lure me into their trap? Unfortunately, you don't know that I had already disguised myself as you and came here before the two of us disappeared, and I even said this in your voice." Vermouth stood up with a pitiful look in her eyes.

"This is it tonight, come back tomorrow!"

"What..." Judy's breathing began to become rapid, and it was obvious that she was seriously injured.

"Isn't it amazing? Do you know how I did it?" Vermouth began to retort, "You only know that I stole the files related to Detective Maori, but you don't know my other intention."

"I stole all the files and returned them all. My purpose was to make the police think that everything I did was targeting Detective Maori. In this way, they would put most of their police force into monitoring the vicinity of Maori Detective Agency. Of course, your FBI would do the same. In this way, thanks to you, I know all the contact information and addresses of your people, and of course your action plan this time."

"So, you already knew we had been in your room." Judy's face shrank in pain. She asked Vermouth with her last bit of strength.

"Yes, I just pretended not to know. I showed you the photo just because I hoped you could help me find this girl. I didn't expect you to be so obedient."

"To be honest, I never thought that the little girl from 20 years ago would be you, but it doesn't matter. The reunion after 20 years has come to an end. Let's say goodbye now." Vermouth took the revolver from Judy's hand and pointed the muzzle at Judy's forehead. "Ala, you should be happy, right?" Looking at Judy's nervous face, Vermouth couldn't help laughing. "You will be able to go to see your parents in heaven soon, shouldn't you be happy? Haha, then..."

Snapped.

Just as Vermouth pulled the trigger, the car door next to Judy suddenly opened, and a girl with brown hair appeared in front of Vermouth, attracting her attention.

There is no way to stop coming out. If she doesn't come out, Judy might die here. Although I also hope that Vermouth can kill Judy like this, letting Judy die now is not a good choice.

"Ala, long time no see, Shirley."

"Vermouth." I said in Shiho's voice. Perhaps because of Sister Yukiko's makeup skills, Vermouth did not notice my disguise.

"Sure enough, have the FBI noticed your condition?" Belmore pointed the gun at me from Judy's forehead. "But I'm really curious, why did you take the initiative to stand up? Do you want to protect the FBI?"

"This is our business and has nothing to do with Teacher Judy." I was not panicked. Vermouth would not shoot me so quickly at this moment. Moreover, with my mind fully focused, even at such a close distance, I was confident that I could avoid the fatal injury and shoot at the same time when Vermouth pulled the trigger.

After all, Vermouth doesn’t know my true identity at this time, so she doesn’t know what my true skills are.

"Oh? You're actually protecting her?" Vermouth smiled. "That's not your style."

"Some things are better discussed between the two of us alone." I continued in Shiho's voice.

"Okay, I also have something to ask you." After saying that, Vermouth raised the gun and kicked Judy on the head. Judy, who was already seriously injured, hit her head on the car under this powerful blow and lost consciousness instantly.

"As a last gift, I allow you to ask first." Vermouth pointed the gun at me again.

"...Where's Ling?" I narrowed my eyes, but I didn't want to relax at all. In fact, what I was most afraid of was that Ling was hiding in a dark place.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to ask this question first." Vermouth was a little surprised, but still answered my question. "Ling had just returned to Japan after completing a mission. She was supposed to be the one to kill you, but I found you first. At the same time, I had some other reasons, so I had to carry out the killing mission alone this time. Of course, I brought Calvados with me, oh, by the way."

At this point, Vermouth suddenly thought of something. "Come on, Shirley, let's go outside. I don't want you to stand in the blind spot between me and Calvados. Calvados has been aiming his gun at me since the beginning. I feel a little uncomfortable."

"..." I understood what Vermouth meant, raised my hands and walked a few steps to the left, exposing myself to Calvados. I could dodge the pistol, but the rifle's rate of fire was difficult to dodge. Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest, so as long as I wasn't shot in the head, I wouldn't die. But at this distance, with Calvados's ability, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get a headshot.

"Nice, good boy." Vermouth's lips curled up slightly. "Now it's my turn to ask." Vermouth pointed the gun at me again and turned off the intercom beside his ear.

"If you can escape the organization in this state, then that kid should still be alive, right? Right?"

"What do you mean?" I asked back.

"Ah~ Shirley, you are not being obedient." Vermouth smiled. "You should know what I'm talking about, right?"

"Did you say ice?"

"Of course, who else could it be but him?"

"You killed him with your own hands, have you forgotten?" I didn't confess at the first time.

"Indeed, I am sure that I did pierce Bing's heart on the day of the mission." Vermouth relaxed at this moment. "But if you can use some tricks to become what you are now, it is not difficult for me to guess that the little rascal can do it too. For example, the little boy with pale blond hair who has been following you. Although his hair color has changed, Bing has been with me for so many years, I think it is not difficult to recognize him."

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."

"Oh? Really?" Vermouth raised a sly smile. "Then who was the new knight next to you at the Rice Flower Hotel? Don't tell me that was your new lover."

“It’s just an insurance policy.”

"Haha, it seems you don't intend to admit it." Vermouth shrugged. "Forget it, this is originally a matter between me and Bing." Vermouth's expression became cold as she spoke.

"What a pity! It would have been great if Bing hadn't known you back then. If it weren't for you, maybe Bing, along with Ling, would have become my competent right-hand man. We might have been able to... Haha, why am I telling you all this."

"What?" Looking at Vermouth's somewhat sad expression, I was a little surprised for a moment. Sure enough, Vermouth had been hiding something. Maybe she had her own purpose for staying in the organization. Originally, Ling and I could have been her good assistants, but unfortunately, because of my personal reasons, a group that was originally intact fell apart overnight.

"Forget it, since you don't want to talk, I won't force you, even though you are Bing's girlfriend." Vermouth's eyes became sharp as she spoke. "But I also have my reasons for killing you. I'm sorry, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your stupid parents who were desperate to devote themselves to drug research!"
