After Baijiu placed all the bombs, he walked out of the laboratory panting.

To Baijiu's surprise, Curacao and Vermouth were standing together.

Vermouth spat out the cigarette from her mouth and spoke to Baijiu in a deliberately sarcastic tone.

"What's wrong? What have you been doing these past few nights? You're so weak, you're out of breath after planting a bomb."

"Curaçao and I have waited until the flowers have all wilted." Vermouth looked down at her watch and spoke in a leisurely and gentle tone.

"Hahaha, Vermouth, you still speak the same way as before." Curacao covered his mouth and smiled politely.

"Didn't Vermouth suspect Curacao? She was secretly following Curacao. How come the two of them are now as close as one person? What's going on?"

Baijiu concealed his suspicious look and walked over as if nothing had happened.

They walked out of the laboratory where no one survived and came to the mountain nearby. Curacao took out a button from his pocket and pressed it.

"Peng!"

The power station and research institute exploded instantly, flames shot up into the sky, and the loud noise made their ears ring for a few seconds.

A huge mushroom cloud rose into the air, and the powerful impact, along with dust and lime, blew them away.

Curacao and Vermouth hid behind Baijiu, grabbing their collars to resist the strong hurricane.

After a few seconds, the wind gradually died down.

“It’s a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to working with you next time.”

Curacao held out his hand and shook it with them.

"Then we'll meet again."

Curacao turned around, started the car and drove away from them.

"What's going on? Vermouth, isn't Curacao's goal to steal the 'clone data'?"

Baijiu looked at Vermouth in confusion.

Vermouth waved her hand slightly, indicating that they should get in the car and continue talking.

Baijiu was driving the car quickly on the highway. Vermouth had her hair tied up, bit her lower lip lightly, and spoke slowly.

"Curaçao seems to be doing this on purpose. At least from what we have seen and done just now, we can see that Curacao also wants to destroy the 'cloning technology'."

"Because when I met her, she didn't choose to take a detour, but went out with me." Vermouth said indifferently, blinking her beautiful and bright eyes.

"Then her purpose in doing this is, could it be that our every move and voice is being monitored in real time?"

"And that person must be Rum." Baijiu analyzed calmly.

"Yes, I think there is a small camera installed on the button on her collar, and there should be a mobile headset hidden in her cochlea."

"Given her skills and caution, it is impossible for her to make so many small mistakes. So there is only one possibility, that is, she deliberately created flaws to lead us to destroy it."

Vermouth took out a wet towel and wiped the blood off her hands.

"After all, this thing is really terrifying. Once it is truly realized, it will produce an unpredictable butterfly effect."

Vermouth said with a serious expression.

"It seems that Rum likes to do the opposite of 'that adult'." Baijiu pondered.

"By the way, how is the investigation on the child's blood type going?" Vermouth said in a sweet voice, looking at Baijiu with deep eyes.

"Aren't you here to participate in the mission today? I'll go to the school document room to check it out tomorrow. It's just a matter of convenience." Baijiu waved his hand.

"How about this, tomorrow I will use my 'informant' relationship to conduct a physical examination of Teitan High School, which will save you time." Vermouth said calmly.

"We have to hurry up. The organization has already sent out 'informers' to conduct an in-depth investigation at the Mika Central Hospital."

"Then use the 'informer' as a fuse, as a signal to start the war."

"I think this battle will happen in a few days, because there are so many variables, it may happen at any time." Vermouth exhaled lightly and tapped the glass with his fingers.

After Baijiu sent Belmode to the downstairs of her house, he drove back home.

Passing by the bridge tunnel below, Baijiu fed Lafite food as usual.

Baijiu brought an armful of food to Lafite, pinched his nose and looked at him with disgust. There was a rotten smell on his body, and flies were flying around him.

"Replenish your strength. We may need you in the battle in a few days." Baijiu said to him.

"Ah Xiang...Ah Xiang..." Rafi kept repeating it.

"Then I'll call you Ah Chou from now on."

Baijiu clapped his hands and hummed a little song before returning to the car.

"When we get back, we'll be able to compare their fingerprints. Rum's 'mess' will also be somewhat cleared up. Hondou Eisuke's blood will be investigated tomorrow."

“Everything is developing in a positive direction!”

Baijiu couldn't wait to go back into the house. He first took out the anti-eavesdropping device and scanned for any micro-surveillance devices.

Confirmed that Conan and Kudo Shinichi's fingerprint test results were correct.

"It's just as I expected!"

Baijiu superimposed the two fingerprint images together, and the two fingerprints overlapped perfectly.

"Conan, I will definitely ask you the name and origin of this medicine clearly, thoroughly."

"Shirley, I can't ask, but if I ask you, I can get the answer."

Baijiu smiled sinisterly.

Then he turned on the computer, inserted the USB drive and input the previously saved news.

【Seventeen years ago, the United States】

Baijiu squinted his eyes, pulled his chair forward, and looked closely at the computer screen.

[Seventeen years ago, the four-time shogi champion "Haneda Hiroshi" was killed after traveling to the United States. 】

Baijiu sat up straight instantly and clicked in.

["Haneda Hiroshi" traveled to the United States to participate in a chess tournament that he usually played as a hobby]

[However, the night before the game, he was murdered by an unknown person in his hotel room.]

[His room was turned upside down and it seemed that Haneda had resisted when he was killed.]

【But the direct cause of death is unknown.】

"The cause of death is unknown. Did he take poison from the organization?"

Baijiu's mouse slid down.

[On the same day, the American bourgeois Amanda Hughes died in another room of the same hotel, and the cause of death also remains a mystery.]

"Amanda?" Baijiu opened the computer and searched.

[He used to be the boss of Baijiu Pharmaceuticals and was a well-known figure in the United States. ]

[Baijiu Pharmaceutical is a company that specializes in researching "cancer treatments" with the goal of one day completely conquering cancer. Its main customers are the rich and powerful.]

[It was originally prosperous, but Amanda suddenly announced to withdraw her shares 20 years ago, and the company subsequently closed down and dissolved. ]

"'Baijiu Pharmaceutical'? Its closure is definitely not accidental. It may be related to the disappearance of the scientist 17 years ago. The organization's drugs are also very likely developed by that group of people."

"After all, as long as humans conquer cancer, they can also extend their lifespan. It is possible that the 'poison' can be developed based on the treatment of cancer."

[Amanda is a loyal fan of Haneda, and the two have communicated with each other before. ]

[And after that day, the personal bodyguard Amanda brought with her disappeared from sight]

[Therefore, the police regard Amanda's bodyguard, who she calls "Qianxiang", as the most important suspect and track down his whereabouts. ]

【But there is still no news about her. 】

[Also, the true identity of the person named "Asaka" is also shrouded in mystery. ]

[Neither Amanda's family nor anyone related to her knew why Amanda hired this person as her bodyguard.]

[The door handle, sofa, teacups, plates, forks and other items in Haneda Hiroshi's room are placed on top. ]

[It seems to be covered with Amanda's fingerprints, scattered all over the room. ]

Baijiu looked at the photos.

“Fragments of cups and plates with the name of the restaurant JuKe printed on them.”

"Ok?"

"There seems to be some glass mixed in with the broken dishes. Is it a mirror? There are also scattered words written on it."

"P, T, O, N, M, S, R?"

"profound!"

"I think it's probably PUT ON MASARA (put on mascara)."

Baijiu picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.

"I remember seeing a cosmetics manufacturer at a mall offering a free mirror for every mascara purchase, and these words were printed on the mirror."

"But I'm curious why the portable mirror is in Haneda Hiroshi's room."

"It seems that there are many defensive wounds on Haneda Hiroshi's arms from defending against punches and kicks from his opponent."

"There were clear marks on his right hand, showing that he had held the scissors tightly in his hand."

"Since it's a 'mess', it means there must be 'clues' left behind."

Baijiu looked at the sentence on the paper and thought carefully.

"!!!"

Baijiu suddenly realized something, his eyes lit up instantly, and he slammed the table.

"If you remove PTON, the remaining letters are UMASCARA."

"And there are so many A letters. If CA and KA are pronounced the same, this is the one I can think of."

"ASAKA."

"Is it the suspect Asaka?"

“If ASAKA is separated from UMASCARA.”

"That is."

"RUM."
