"It seems that the truth of the case will soon come to light." Vermouth gave a charming smile.

"Yes, but we need to ask Ireland to investigate whether the names of the survivors of the fire two years ago are the same as those of the victims."

"Just let me ask, you should be able to figure it out."

"I did not report to my superiors, nor did I tell Ireland and Gin about the fact that you were involved in this mission." Vermouth lit another cigarette.

"If I don't participate in the mission these two days, my superiors won't..."

"Shhh."

Vermouth put her finger in front of her lips and spoke in a low voice.

"You don't need to worry about these. Just focus on finding the murderer and telling me his location."

"This is your mission." Vermouth took off her shoes and changed into flat shoes.

"What is your purpose in doing this...?" Baijiu looked at her in confusion.

"It's very simple, because we are in the same camp, it is normal to cover up for him." Vermouth raised his forehead and looked at Baijiu.

"By the way, the fire happened in Kyoto?" Vermouth asked.

"Yes, help me check the list of guests who lived on the sixth floor during the fire two years ago." Baijiu said.

"No problem, trust my ability as an informant." Vermouth chuckled.

"It seems that there are people from the "organization" within the Kyoto police." Baijiu sighed.

"Stop here, I have other things to do." Vermouth took off his coat and put on a suit.

"Before the mission is over, just contact me for information about the case." After saying that, Vermouth closed the car door and disappeared from Baijiu's sight.

All signs indicate that Ireland seems to have fallen into a trap set by Vermouth. Baijiu analyzed the situation in the past few days.

I remember Vermouth said before that she had sent Pisco and Ireland to investigate Shirley.

Could it be that because they were investigating the secret of the poison, Vermouth chose to set a trap to expose his identity in order to protect the secret of the poison, and was eventually wiped out by the organization.

It is indeed a "Pandora's Box". Fortunately, I did not delve further into it at that time. Now I think the consequences would be disastrous. I can only find an opportunity to investigate secretly.

But the reason why Conan appeared there was because Kogoro also appeared in that meeting, so everything can be explained.

Although I don't understand why Vermouth protected Conan, something must have happened.

Forget about all this, ignore the intrigues of the organization, slowly uncover the mystery of the medicine, and solve this case first.

Baijiu drove to Nanako's residence.

At 5pm, the sun began to set.

Baijiu drove to Mitaka City and asked about Nanako Motokami's residence along the street.

Hard work pays off, and the liquor finally arrived at her doorstep.

[Mr. Mizutani, this is Nanako]

Mr. Mizutani? Is he her lover?

dong dong dong.

"Mr. Mizutani, excuse me, I have something to ask you! Mr. Mizutani!?"

"Mr. Mizutani is not at home. Do you have something to talk to him about?" The young man who was a neighbor next to Mizutani opened the door and said to Baijiu gently.

"Do you know where he went?" Baijiu fanned himself with his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Come in and talk. It's too hot outside." The young man enthusiastically brought the white wine into the house.

"You are Mizutani's friend. My name is "Konan". Please give me your guidance." He poured the sour plum juice into the cup.

"Thank you, my name is... "Edogawa Kebei"!" He drank the white wine in one gulp.

"Excuse me, who are 'Mr. Mizutani' and 'Nanako'...?"

"They are a couple. I heard that they eloped from Chiba and came here despite their parents' objections."

"On Chinese Valentine's Day two years ago, they traveled to Kyoto and stayed overnight at that business hotel."

"However, the man went to visit his friend who lived in Kyoto alone, and a fire broke out in the hotel during that time." Konan said with a depressed expression.

[If I hadn’t gone to look for my friend, Caicai wouldn’t have died]

"He said this while crying."

"What is Mr. Mizutani's occupation?"

"He used to work here and there, but since his girlfriend died, he seems to have stopped working and hasn't been home for a while."

"I see... Where would Mr. Mizutani be now?"

"I don't know. I think he might have gone to Chiba. Tomorrow is the third anniversary of his girlfriend's death."

"I see, then we should go to a temple or something like that" Baijiu had some ideas in his mind.

"You should know the answer by asking her 'brother' about this. Wait for me." Xiaonan stood up from the ground and searched for something on the bookshelf.

"Before she died, her brother had come here many times and asked me to contact him if he found his sister in trouble."

"Got it, got it, this is it, his brother's business card." Xiaonan handed the photo to Baijiu.

Baijiu took it in his hand and examined it.

【「本树」, accountant, 1908-309. 】

"Thank you, Xiaonan. Can I have your contact information? We can get in touch later."

Baijiu left the house and turned on his phone to see several unread messages.

[As you guessed, "Xiao Tang" was not at her residence, and was killed in the "Kangling Movement" in "Ayase City", "Kanagawa Prefecture". - Vermouth]

[Then the "Seventh Barrel" also appeared. The words written on the back did not look like English letters, but more like "triangle" - Vermouth]

"Triangle? I understand!" Baijiu suddenly realized.

[The seven victims were exactly the same as the guests who lived on the sixth floor in the fire two years ago - Vermouth]

"The mystery will be solved soon. Let's just wait until tomorrow's Chinese Valentine's Day." Baijiu looked into the distance meaningfully.

"It's great not to have to work overtime! I'm going to the convenience store to buy some things and then I can go play games and relax!" Baijiu is as happy as a child.

The liquor car was filled with snacks and I was driving back to my residence when I passed under the bridge.

I saw a scarred, unshaven man sitting alone under the damp and dark bridge tunnel.

"Is this... Lafite?" Baijiu parked the car on the side of the road and walked over with squinted eyes.

"Ah Xiang...Ah Xiang...Ah Xiang." Rafi sobbed and wrote over and over again with her blood-stained fingers under the bridge.

"Lafite? How come you are still alive?" Baijiu looked at him in disbelief.

"My Ah Xiang will never come back." The smelly Lafite hugged Baijiu and cried bitterly.

"What a pure love warrior! The most affectionate rice flower - Lafite." Baijiu joked.

Baijiu handed the two rice balls in his pocket to Lafite, who ate them quickly and voraciously.

"Although this guy is a little crazy, he is like an 'alarm' and can help me detect the movements of the FBI."

Baijiu handed an old-fashioned phone to Lafei.

"Want revenge? I will notify you immediately once the FBI finds you. I hope you can avenge your Ah Xiang with your own hands." Baijiu PUA Lafite.

"Ah Xiang...Ah Xiang..." Lafite still muttered in pain.

"It's incredible, this is true love." After saying this, Baijiu left here and looked up at the stars in the sky.

"It's so beautiful! I didn't expect to see this scene in the city." Baijiu exclaimed.

"Huh?!" Suddenly Baijiu realized something and quickly returned home.

Baijiu marked all seven crime scenes and aligned them with the Big Dipper, and found that they were exactly the same.

Similarly, mahjong tiles and English letters all represent the North Star and the Big Dipper.

"One tube" and "seven tubes" symbolize the shapes of the "North Star" and the "Big Dipper" respectively.

The English letters represent the Greek capital letters of the stars, "aβγΔeZH".

Then the only position left is "Tianxuan".

"Ah! In the Shiba Park area in Minato-ku!"

"Mr. Konan, I think Mizutani and Nanako like stargazing a lot."

"Yes, the reason they live here is because it's close to the observatory."

"Thank you, Mr. Konan."

Baijiu sat at the table, thinking thoughtfully.

"The beautiful shape of the Big Dipper and the North Star, which always shines in the north."

"I think they were appreciating the stars to confirm their love for each other."
