"Hattori Heiji!? Why on earth do you have to dress up as Kudo Shinichi?"

"Ahahaha... I'm sorry, I haven't seen Kudo recently, and someone said he's actually Kaito Kid, so if I dress up as him and deduce, maybe he'll appear in front of me."

The mystery on the ghost ship was also quickly solved.

The person who solved the case was Kudo Shinichi, disguised as a bandaged monster—or an invisible man. However, when everyone was shocked by his appearance, Kudo Shinichi took off his disguise and revealed himself as Hattori Heiji.

"You little brat from Osaka!"

Everyone felt fooled and began to curse.

Hattori Heiji stood on the observation deck of the mast with an awkward smile on his face.

Ran Mouri also looked over there with vacant eyes, then glanced at her best friend and felt somewhat relieved seeing the other person was just smiling peacefully.

She tried to change the subject.

"But this time, it was Hattori Heiji who solved the case first and Hayashi Yoshiki seemed very quiet."

"Because I'm curious."

Dressed as Ryuk, with a hunched back, Hayashi Yoshiki pointed at himself and grinned, "I heard from the staff that Kudo-kun was here too, so I wanted to see if it was true. I was waiting for his deduction show."

"No wonder..."

"Brother Yoshiki, please don't keep hunching your back like that. It looks uncomfortable."

"Yes, a little."

Hearing Ran's concerned voice, Hayashi Yoshiki obediently straightened his back.

All in all, once this ghost ship returned to port and the police took over, the matter would be over.

Hayashi Yoshiki drove the group back to the Mouri Detective Agency.

The driver from the Sonoko family was also waiting there.

As they got out, Hayashi Yoshiki rolled down the window to say goodbye:

"Remember to rest early, Uncle Mouri, Ran, and Sonoko too."

"Okay, good night, Yoshiki."

"Drive carefully."

"Take it easy, kid. Don't scare people so late at night."

"Dad!"

Listening to their words, Hayashi Yoshiki smiled, stepped on the accelerator, and left.

But the white Mercedes-Benz E-W210 just circled a few streets and finally stopped in front of an alley.

Hayashi Yoshiki got back in the car.

"I find that you live a very tiring life. You have to be polite and considerate of other people's emotions wherever you go."

Ryuk took off his mask, revealing the face of Kuroba Kaito.

He looked a little impressed.

Hayashi Yoshiki took this opportunity to take a photo.

The flash confused Kuroba Kaito's expression.

"What are you doing?"

"Recording the evidence that you are operating a motor vehicle without a license."

"Hah!?"

Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito's face immediately darkened.

"I take back what I said just now. You are the worst!"

"Haha, but I also want to thank Kaito-kun for your help this time... If it weren't for you, the matter definitely wouldn't have been resolved so properly."

Hayashi Yoshiki looked at him and added, "Thank you."

"..."

"How?"

"No, I'm really uncomfortable with your sudden seriousness."

"But I just sighed and didn't really thank you that much."

Kuroba Kaito really wanted to give him the middle finger.

But he held back.

He quickly started the car again—seventeen-year-old high school students are just interested in cars—and Kuroba Kaito actually drove Hayashi Yoshiki's car to Ekoda City.

Hayashi Yoshiki looked at the time on his phone and was in a good mood.

Tonight's harvest.

In other words, Hayashi Yoshiki's target from the very beginning was only Vermouth—looking at the entire organization, Vermouth was the most special one.

She is the most trusted confidant of Karasuma Renya.

For the cross-age facial recognition system that appears in M26, the former hopes to use this system to find the boss Karasuma Renya, who has not appeared for a long time, while the latter hopes to use this system to find the defected Sherry.

However, Karasuma Renya only instructed Vermouth to eliminate the existence of that system.

Even though Gin was so loyal to Karasuma Renya, he was still kept in the dark—if Karasuma himself had given the order, Gin would have obeyed even without understanding.

From this perspective, it can be speculated that Karasuma Renya does not want the cross-age facial recognition system to track him, nor does he want to expose his cowardice in front of a loyal subordinate like Gin—only Vermouth has such an honor.

As for Vermouth's defeat in the full moon incident, Karasuma Renya specially sent her a message asking her to come back to him... This also means Vermouth probably knows where Karasuma Renya is.

"..."

Hayashi Yoshiki thought quietly.

The "cat meowing" that caused widespread discussion in the original work—that was the message that Itakura Taku left in his diary after being threatened by Vermouth to develop software:

"After she finished speaking, the cat meowing from the phone grew louder and louder, and then she hung up anxiously."

Would a woman like Vermouth be anxious simply because of a cat's meowing?

I'm afraid that won't happen.

Once some cats are in estrus, their mating calls may sound like a baby crying. Conversely, a very small number of babies with chromosomal problems may cry like a cat, known as "cat cry syndrome."

Why has Karasuma Renya not shown up for so long?

And removing the cross-age facial recognition system almost seemed to indicate that his appearance had changed with age—but whether he became younger or older, he should not be so cowardly as to not dare to let the organization's cadres know.

Unless his appearance is such that he can no longer exercise his power and majesty.

Even now, all of Karasuma Renya's orders are sent via text emails, and almost no one has ever heard his voice.

Vermouth once said, "We are both God and the devil because we want to reverse the flow of time and resurrect the dead."

But Haibara Ai also said, "Humans cannot go against the flow of time. If they try to change it forcibly, they will be punished."

What's interesting is that in the original story, Conan said he had participated in several physical examinations after he became small, but his body had not grown 1 millimeter in height—even for a child with developmental delay, it would be very surprising if he did not grow even 1 millimeter in several months.

Therefore, it can be concluded that all users of drug A become frozen in their state after their bodies shrink and will no longer be able to grow.

If Karasuma Renya really turned into a baby, then the melody of his email keystrokes, "Seven Crows"—this folk song—can be regarded as a hellish joke in some ways.

Never mind.

Regardless of Karasuma Renya's condition, just considering that Vermouth is likely to know his hiding place, Hayashi Yoshiki must keep her firmly in his hands.
