Chu Ming stared at Conan's sleeping face, and there seemed to be a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

Vermouth's brain was working rapidly, trying to save Conan from Chu Ming's hands, while she changed the subject: "How is the situation over there? Are Akai Shuichi and Shirley dead? And that little girl named Mao Lilan, she probably doesn't know anything. You promised me before that you would not hurt her unless it endangers the organization. How is she now?"

"It's pretty good. No one died. I shot Shuichi Akai three times, and he might have been seriously injured. But he was able to escape from the scene with two people. Wow, that's amazing." Chu Ming said half-truthfully, but he was really impressed by Shuichi Akai's strength.

Of the three shots he fired, except for the last one which was dodged, the other two hit him in the back, and one bullet even grazed his spine. If Akai Shuichi's reaction had been slower, he would have been paralyzed for the rest of his life.

"Sweetheart, can we not kill this boy?" Vermouth observed Chu Ming's expression and finally decided to play a straight ball, "Sister cares about him very much, so you can ask for it."

"Shirley turned into a little girl, so he should be Kudo Shinichi, right?" Chu Ming's face was indifferent, and no expression could be seen. "Because he and Mao Lilan saved you in the United States, you have been helping them?"

Vermouth knew that as long as Chu Ming showed up here, it would only be a matter of time before he knew the truth, so she didn't hide it anymore: "Almost."

"Is one life for one life enough?" Chu Ming stared at Vermouth, "Or do you have other plans?"

Vermouth remained silent.

Chu Ming looked at him with a cold expression and a deeper voice: "Vermouth, you are not going to be like the villains in the novels, using the clichéd routine of being stuck in the mud for a long time and finally seeing a ray of light? Just because someone saved your life, you can't wait to give your heart to others?"

Vermouth's mouth twitched when she was told this, it seemed a bit cliché...

"Don't forget who you are, Vermouth." Chu Ming's tone was not fierce at all, but rather unhurried, yet there was a different kind of pressure. "He saved you, it's true, but he saved you to send you to jail. Don't go back to jail just to repay a favor, or I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life."

Vermouth looked at Conan's profile, knowing that Chu Ming was warning her in a joking manner. She sighed silently, looked at Chu Ming, who looked particularly serious, and nodded: "I know my limits."

You know nothing.

Chu Ming didn't believe it, but he wouldn't force Vermouth to express her opinion any further.

After all, Conan can't die now.

After such a long time, Chu Ming has finally understood the nature of the world. This is a world centered on Conan. He wants to solve cases, so there are cases wherever he goes; he wants clues about the organization, so many of the cases he has experienced are inextricably linked to the organization; he wants to hide behind Kogoro Mouri to solve cases, so even if he stands in the open, no one will find him.

Therefore, Conan must not die now. If he dies, the world will probably be destroyed. What he carries now is just a subsystem, which is not as powerful as the system that brought him here. If the world is really destroyed, there is no way to take him away.

As long as the world does not collapse, he can live till the end of time. But once the world collapses and the system has no way to take him away, no amount of points can save him.

So he won't touch Conan until the main storyline is over.

After all, if it weren't for this butterfly, the unlucky group like the organization wouldn't be able to do anything to Conan.

"Sister let him go this time, just consider it as paying him back his life. Next time we meet, you must not be soft-hearted~" Chu Ming returned to his previous smiling face, and his tone was much softer. "I won't report it this time, including Shirley. And I won't show any clues when I see them. But, sister, I'll make it clear in advance, next time they run into the organization, I will not show mercy."

Vermouth nodded, hiding the complicated emotions in her eyes: "The boss summoned me back. This time I go back, I guess I won't be able to come out for a long time. Honey, can you help me take care of this child and Xiaolan?"

???

What does it mean to strike the snake while it is still under attack? Isn't this a textbook-level demonstration?

"Of course you can, but sister, I've said before that my appearance fee is very expensive." Chu Ming blinked, "But if the target is sister, you only need to answer me one question~"

Vermouth tapped the steering wheel: "Ask."

"What is your relationship with the boss?" Chu Ming looked at Vermouth with a gossipy look, "It seems like my sister doesn't like the boss very much~"

Vermouth's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then fell silent: "Have you seen the boss?"

"I have seen it." Chu Ming nodded.

"Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful! Even prettier than Gin." Chu Ming thought about the face he saw at that time and exclaimed in admiration.

Vermouth turned around, raised her head slightly, and looked at Chu Ming affectionately and intently: "Then look at me, do I look like him?"

At this time, the moonlight slanted down from the forest and fell on the ground, leaving a ray of silver light on Vermouth, which removed some of her charm and added a bit of holiness that was rarely seen in normal times.

It was precisely this holiness that made Chu Ming's eyes widen in surprise when he looked at Vermouth's face.

It seems that she and the BOSS are quite similar.

"Sister, are you the boss's daughter?" Chu Ming blurted out.

Vermouth smiled slightly: "No, Boss never married."

"That--"

"My mother is the youngest sister of the boss." Vermouth looked far away and fell into deep thought. "In terms of kinship, the boss should be my uncle. At the beginning, my mother was determined to marry a foreigner, and even eloped with him and gave birth to me abroad. But at that time, the status of the Japanese in the United States was not high, and the man my mother wanted to marry was not a good person. He only approached my mother because he coveted the wealth of the Karasuma family. But my mother gave up everything and followed him to the United States. In his eyes, my mother became a burden..."

Belmode's tone remained calm, as if he was talking about a completely unrelated person.

Chu Ming listened to Vermouth's story and gradually understood why she had resentment towards the BOSS.
