Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 424: The Untimely Halloween Chapter

For the next few days, Okiya Subaru did not appear again.

During this period, Conan's relatives and friends began to receive invitations to Halloween pirate ship parties.

"An inappropriate Halloween party? Huh? Isn't Halloween in October?" Kogoro Mouri threw the letter on the table without interest after just reading the title, frowning with disgust.

“That’s why it’s inappropriate.”

Conan moved closer to the table and said, "And the stationery is so high-end, it doesn't look like a public party." Maybe something interesting will happen.

Conan thought so and turned the invitation over, then his expression suddenly froze.

"Vermouth?"

"Uncle, is this a foreigner you know?" Conan asked tentatively, carefully observing Kogoro Mouri's expression.

"Foreigner?" Maori Kogoro actually thought about it subconsciously, "Ah, I don't know him. Was this given by a foreigner?!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly reacted, sat up straight immediately, took the invitation back and began to study it carefully.

"V..Vermouth? Such a familiar name."

The old drunkard Maori Kogoro looked thoughtful, "With a name like that... maybe she is a very beautiful woman."

"Hahahahahahaha, it really is because I'm so popular that such beautiful women would come here to see me."

"It could also be the guy who picks his toes. Uncle, you really can't remember who the other person is?" Conan had a few obvious black lines sliding down his forehead, hinting wildly.

Please, what if it’s someone from the organization who comes to investigate the uncle? They are all in danger now!

"How can I remember it? With a wine name like that, it might be a pseudonym for a bar girl."

"And the location is amazing... a dark night with a pirate ship full of monsters and ghosts."

The fragile Miss Vermouth must need his strong embrace.

boom!

Just as Kogoro Mouri was daydreaming, there was a crisp sound and Mouri Ran's fist hit the wooden table in front of him. A fist-shaped groove immediately appeared on the wooden table, and cracks continued to spread outward.

"Dad, please say it again."

"Uh..." The middle-aged man's depression was immediate, and the shrunk child next to him also shrank. The two of them hugged each other nervously.

"Hehehe. Well, Lan, I was just kidding. There are no women drinking with me!" Mouri Kogoro laughed dryly two or three times and began to quibble seriously.

Really... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sent Xiaolan to learn karate.

Kogoro Mori regretted his decision.

However, it is too late to regret the past, and the only thing I can do now is to muddle through it.

"Oh right! This is a letter of challenge! It must have been written to me by a drinking buddy who played a prank on me!"

"The invitation used the tone of a prophet, 'The night of the full moon is coming, and you are invited to participate in a thrilling party, a party on a boat full of blood. Whether you attend or not, the poor dead lambs will curse their own fate, and the sinners will definitely go unpunished.' This kind of words doesn't sound like a blonde at all, it sounds more like an enemy."

Kogoro Mori wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt that it made more and more sense the more he spoke.

"Really?" Mao Lilan's expression eased a little. She picked up the invitation letter and compared it. She indeed found a small line of raised patterns at the bottom, with a string of red words printed on it.

Compared with the main content, these inconspicuous fonts embellished on the equally blood-red letter paper look like decorations rather than a declaration of war specially written to Kogoro Mori.

Mao Lilan hesitated and looked at her father with suspicion.

But Conan came to the rescue at this time, "You should go, uncle. What if what is written in it is true? Doesn't it mean that someone will be killed at the banquet?"

"That's right." Maori Kogoro nodded his head like crazy, "Besides, the other party has already made harsh provocations. As a famous detective, Maori Kogoro, how can I back down?"

Although the two of them united in their stance, Mao Lilan was still skeptical.

However, if it was really a challenge to the famous detectives, Kudo Shinichi, who is also a detective, should have received the "challenge".

-

So in the evening, Dr. Agasa received a call from Mao Lilan.

"Hey, Xiaolan? Are you asking whether Shinichi has received the invitation?" Dr. Agasa turned his gaze to Conan, and when he saw the little figure sitting on the sofa making a shushing gesture, he immediately nodded in understanding, "..I haven't heard him mention it, what's wrong?"

"I don't know who sent a strange invitation letter to my dad." Mao Lilan's voice was mixed with the crackling sound of electricity on the phone, and she summarized the contents of the invitation letter in a few words.

"Anyway, my dad and Sonoko are trying out makeup right now. The invitation states that since the theme is Halloween, all members attending the party must dress up as monsters and wear formal black suits."

"Are you going too?" Dr. Agasa listened carefully and asked casually, but his eyes turned to Conan who pricked up his ears again.

"How could I possibly go to such a crappy monster party!" Ran Maoli's almost collapsed roar came from the microphone, "But then again, there are a few suggestive words in the letter that mention that a murder will happen at the party. I'm a little worried that dad and Sonoko will be in danger, so if Shinichi goes too, it would be great for them to go together."

"I see. If he receives it, he will definitely call to complain." Dr. Agasa's tone softened and he began to comfort him. "Don't worry, if Shinichi calls me, I will definitely tell you the first time."

"Then it's up to you."

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Agasa looked at Conan with a worried look on his face.

"You won't tell her?"

"Well, I am more concerned about the signature on this letter." Conan slowly put down the invitation letter, took out the business card attached and held it in his hand, "But I think Huibara should have a better idea than me. After all, Vermouth, like Gin and Vodka, is the name of a wine..."

"Then you may be disappointed," Huiyuan Ai sat at the head of the bed and spread her hands weakly, "I am not sensitive to the name of wine and have never heard of it..."

"Vermouth!"

"!!!"

Conan's voice suddenly became serious as he said it casually.

Noticing that Huibara Ai's pupils suddenly shrank, the boy's mouth corners slightly raised, "We usually pronounce this code name like this. As expected, from the look of you, you have heard of it. This is indeed their code name, right?"

After confirming what he wanted to know, Conan slowly stood up from his seat.

"Could it be that this letter..." Dr. Agasa also became nervous.

"That's right. I don't know if it's a trap or if the other party has gotten tired of playing with them." Conan gently placed the letter on the table. "It's a good opportunity for us to use their own tactics against them..."

"No! I don't agree!" Haibara Ai has recently been receiving treatment from 'Tomoaki Niide'. Under Vermouth's personal instruction, her acting skills have improved rapidly. She immediately made the choice that best fits her character, "Ahem, I can't go! That's a trap. If you go, you'll die..."

"Yes, it's very likely." Conan had already walked to Haibara Ai's bed. Facing the weak comrade who was coughing and gasping, he gave him an injection of anesthetic without any pity.

"I'm sorry, Huibara."

"Hey, Shinichi, isn't this..." too radical?

Dr. Agasa seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The young man, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly collapsed and looked exhausted.

"I can't help it, ahem." Conan handed the letter back to Dr. Agasa, "Look carefully again, although the name on the envelope is Kudo Shinichi, the beginning of the letter..."

"Dear... dear, Mr. Edogawa Conan?!" Dr. Agasa read it again in a shocked tone and looked at the two of them in disbelief.

"My true identity has been exposed..." Conan put his hand in front of his mouth and couldn't help coughing twice, "I'm afraid that the fact that Haibara Ai is Shirley has also been exposed."

"But isn't this too strange?" Dr. Agasa frowned, "Why don't they just kill you all?"

"I think I can guess the reason." Conan frowned, "Now there is another thing..."

The question is whether Yin Jiu received the invitation.
