Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 260: Melodi Family Birthday Party (Part )

Toru Amuro, who was eavesdropping from behind: It seems that the head maid is the traitor. His adopted son Sephir wants to let her go, but such an act is regarded as betrayal.

At this time in the banquet hall, Vermouth was restrained by the perfumer, who had been chatting with Vermouth about some trivial topics.

"Ms. Wynyard, you can try these new perfumes we have launched. They are very suitable for mature and charming women like you."

Vermouth responded with a forced smile, "Thank you, but I don't want to be the next 'Mrs. Bella.' Your Melodi family is truly terrifying. You hold even a person's fate in your hands."

Vermouth glanced meaningfully at Lady Red, who was wearing the "Diamond Lady" costume and was talking to several guests not far away.

The perfumer frowned slightly. "What's the difference between Ms. Wynyard and that 'Mrs. Bella'? Haven't you also been living with a false face? Isn't your fate also in the hands of the Black Organization's boss?"

Vermouth's face darkened. "Perhaps your fate is also in the hands of Mr. Melodi. In some ways, you are even worse than me."

"I see. It seems I overestimated you." The perfumer was not at all dissatisfied with Vermouth's sarcasm. "After all, you and 'Mrs. Bella' are too similar, but..."

"For Lady Mary, her only concern is Frederick Clayburgh. It would be easy for the Melody family to deal with the Clayburgh family, but they are hindered by some secretive rules."

"But who's protecting that 'angel' in your heart? A detective? A dormant detective? Or one of those policemen who are useless at the critical moment?"

The perfumer raised the perfume bottle in his hand, gently sprayed a little, and then used his hands to disperse the fragrance.

"When the time comes, that fleeting beauty will dissipate into the air like this fragrance."

Vermouth's heart skipped a beat. Just as the Perfumer had said, she had no way to protect Ran. As a member of the Black Organization, all she could do was to minimize the contact between the cadres of other organizations and Ran and Conan. But if it was really the Oritis Organization that wanted to attack them...

"The death of a famous detective will undoubtedly cause an uproar among the police. I think the Melodi family does not want to be entangled by the Japanese police." Vermouth could not find any way to counter, so she could only bring in the police to save the situation.

"I never thought a Black Organization member like you would have to rely on the police to scare people, haha." The perfumer laughed. "But don't worry, we won't touch that girl for now. Who doesn't like an 'angel'?"

Vermouth's heart tightened again. "Not moving for the time being" does not mean that Xiaolan is safe. On the contrary, it means that the Melodi family may take action at any time.

"I'm serious. We keep our promises. The head of the family is the most trustworthy. After all, a kind girl is of no practical use to him, right?" The perfumer tried to persuade Vermouth to disrupt her position.

Suddenly, Amuro Toru's voice came from Vermouth's micro-earphone: "Vermouth, the adopted son and the head maid of the Melodi family are now fighting with the steward of the Melodi family. It seems that the adopted son and the head maid want to betray the family together."

The sudden big news made Vermouth regain his confidence: "Humph, instead of negotiating with me here, why not go to your backyard and take a look? There seems to be a fire there."

The perfumer was stunned for a moment, then as if realizing something, she took out something like a communicator and answered the call. Then, her face turned ugly.

"Manager Neil, it's time to eliminate the traitors. However, with your ability, it seems that you don't have the opportunity to intervene. You might as well stay here to comfort the guests. Who knows, something unexpected might happen later." The sculptor pushed the wheelchair and appeared behind the perfumer.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Galatea, I can also help the master of the family." The perfumer was eager to show himself.

"You don't have to go."

"but......"

"This is the order of the master of the family." The sculptor said this before leaving.

The perfumer froze in place, trembling as he clenched the perfume bottle in his hand: "Yes..."

Vermouth was in a good mood: "It seems that your status in the Melodi family is very low. See you next time, Perfumer Neil."

Looking at Vermouth's back as she turned and left, the perfumer curled his lips into a sneer.

[Perfumer: Okay, Vermouth will probably hang around Ran for a while now after being scared like that. Now just focus on acting for Amuro Toru.]

[Bartender: Our Vera's acting is amazing. She's so captivating playing the tragic second female lead.]

[Perfumer: I suspect you are implying something about me!]

[Priest: You're right, Vera can hold her own against both of our supervisors.]

[Prophet: Isn't it inappropriate for us to watch Mr. Jack and Mr. Fan Wujiu fight here?]

[Fire Investigator: You're right. How can we just stand there and watch? Go set the fire.]

[Puppeteer: Florian's old problem has resurfaced.]

At this time in the kitchen, Jack's attack was blocked by Fan Wujiu who suddenly appeared.

"Mr. Fan? Why are you here?" The priest pulled the prophet and hid behind him.

Fan Wujiu held Jack's paw with his umbrella and replied, "Two aces from the logistics team want to defect from Melody's camp. This is fantastic news. Shouldn't I, Fan Ba, come and show my support?"

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Toru Amuro was already planning to sneak away, but he didn't expect a sculptor to appear halfway.

"Mr. Public Security? Is that you?" the sculptor's sinister voice sounded.

Toru Amuro immediately got goosebumps. He remembered this man's methods very clearly. However, in his opinion, the sculptor had high lethality but weak mobility. As long as he stayed away from those statues and waited for an opportunity to escape, he should be fine.

Rows of statues rose from the ground and attacked Amuro Toru, but Amuro Toru dodged them with his agile body.

In the banquet hall, Vermouth looked at Xiaolan and Conan tasting cake together, and couldn't help but feel worried. Although the perfumer might have just been speaking harshly, she was very worried that the Melodi family would really attack the two of them.

After finishing the cake in silence, Conan finally remembered that there might be a problem in the kitchen, so he thought about investigating it. So he made an excuse to Xiaolan.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm done eating. I want to go to the bathroom."

"Eh? Do you need me to go with you to find it?"

"No need, Mr. Melody just told me where the bathroom is."

After saying that, Conan jogged all the way to the kitchen.

Vermouth almost had a heart attack when she saw this scene. Oh my god, kid, there’s a war going on back there! Don’t join in the fun!

Vermouth, worried about Conan's safety, also set off immediately. By the way, she also reminded Amuro Toru through the headset: "Bourbon, you'd better get out of here quickly. The members of the Oritis Organization may start an internal fight here!"

At this time, Amuro Toru, who was dodging the statue, complained: "Do you even need to tell me that? I'm already getting beaten!"

However, Conan could not hear what Vermouth was thinking. He only wanted to know the truth, so he once again embarked on a dangerous road.
