'Someone stuffed a cell phone into my pocket and I didn't even notice it.'

Vermouth looked at the phone in front of her with a grim expression, and her vigilance was once again raised to the maximum.

Under normal circumstances, she would never make such a low-level mistake.

However, she had just been hit in the abdomen, and her arm was also directly cut by the other party with a dagger. She was thinking about escaping.

So I didn't even notice that there was an extra phone in my pocket.

'So he wanted to let me go on purpose so he could use it to locate the organization?'

However, as soon as this idea came to Vermouth's mind, she rejected it herself.

If the other party really wanted to find out the location of the organization through me, then there would be no need to track me at this time.

Since the other party followed secretly, there should be only one reason -

"As expected, you are not going to let me go and are ready to kill me."

Vermouth reached out and gently pressed the button of the glove box in front of the passenger seat, slowly opening the glove box.

Inside was a pistol equipped with a silencer.

Vermouth's own shooting skills are extremely superb.

She had previously experienced the experience of hitting the gas tank of the car behind her with her backhand using only the rearview mirror, even though she had three broken ribs.

However, Vermouth's mental state was not good at the moment, and the car behind was very far away.

So she couldn't do the same thing this time.

"I have to pay you back for what you did to me today."

Vermouth narrowed his eyes and thought, then reached out and grabbed the pistol in the glove box.

Yuya Kazami followed Vermouth's car from a distance, and at the same time he was monitoring the movements in Vermouth's car.

But during this period, he didn't hear any sound.

"On her way back, isn't she going to report the situation to the person who assigned her the task?"

'Or is it that there is no one who assigned her the task in this case?'

Yuya Kazami thought to himself.

"By the way, how did Akikawa Kyousuke get involved in this case?"

"Could it be that the person who had been chasing him and his mother was the one who had commissioned Kunio Koizumi to develop the software?"

Just as Yuya Kazami was thinking in his mind, he suddenly noticed that the car in front of him turned into the service area.

Yuya Kazami slowed down the car a little, and only turned into the service area after he could no longer see the car in front of him.

Thanks to the positioning, Yuya Kazami is not afraid of being lost.

Just as Kazami Yuya turned the steering wheel, he suddenly heard Vermouth's somewhat weak voice coming from the earphone:

"Yes, it's me."

Hearing Vermouth's voice, Yuya Kazami quickly focused his attention and listened carefully.

It seems that Vermouth has finally started contacting her companions.

"The mission failed. Chianti died."

"I was poisoned, injured and lost a lot of blood. I feel like I can't hold on for much longer."

"Come and pick me up. I'm at the Ebina service area on the road from Kanagawa to Tokyo, in the outer corner."

"How long does it take you to get here? So long? Well..."

"I probably won't be able to hold on for much longer. I won't lock the car, so just come over here and find me."

There was a weakness in Vermouth's voice that was difficult to conceal.

Her voice was not loud, just like a dying person using her last bit of strength to arrange final arrangements.

After Vermouth finished speaking, the voice fell silent again.

'Good opportunity!'

Yuya Kazami listened and instantly realized that this was definitely a rare opportunity.

It is incredible that Vermouth was able to drive the car so far despite being poisoned and injured.

She has reached her limit now, and her companions who are coming to pick her up have not arrived yet.

Then I can take this opportunity to arrest her.

In this way, both the organization behind her

and the previous murder of Kyouji Toda

should make great progress.

Yuya Kazami confirmed that the phone's location had reached the outer corner of the parking lot described by Vermouth and stopped moving.

Then, he slowly parked his car at a distance from Vermouth's car, but in a position where he could just see Vermouth's car.

Yuya Kazami was watching Vermouth's car while listening carefully to the movements inside Vermouth's car.

After a long wait of about fifteen minutes, he did not hear any unusual sounds, and then he was sure that Vermouth should have fainted.

He gently opened the car door and got out, using other vehicles around him as cover and slowly approached Vermouth's car.

As he got closer to the car, Yuya Kazami's footsteps became slower and slower.

The service area in Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture is very large. There are convenience stores and restaurants open 24 hours a day, so many tourists and freight drivers come here to replenish supplies and rest.

But if you want to buy something or eat, you have to enter the service area complex.

This means that -

If the tourists come here to eat or buy things, they will park their cars on the inner side of the parking lot, closer to the service area complex building.

At this moment, Vermouth's car was located outside the parking lot, far away from the service area complex.

Therefore, most of the drivers who stop here are those who want to have some quiet time and just want to rest in their cars.

Although there are quite a few cars here, they do not come in and out as frequently as the cars inside the parking lot. Usually each person stays for a long time.

Vermouth obviously took this into consideration.

In order to avoid being seen and suspected by tourists passing by frequently, the car was parked here.

Yuya Kazami was thinking,

While I was sighing in my heart that Vermouth could still think so carefully in this state,

They were also thankful because it was more convenient here to carry out arrests without attracting attention.

Finally, after he slowly moved to the side of Vermouth's car,

Then he suddenly pulled out a pistol, rushed to the door of the driver's seat on the front right side of the car, and pointed the pistol at the driver's seat inside.

However, in the next moment, Yuya Kazami's eyes behind his black-framed glasses suddenly widened.

Because he did not see what he expected, a woman fainted in the driver's seat.

Instead, there was only a slightly familiar mobile phone lying alone on the driver's seat.

An extremely bad premonition arose in Yuya Kazami's heart.

He realized that he might have fallen into a trap.

However, before he could take any action, he suddenly felt a hard object pressing against the back of his head.

All the blood in Yuya Kazami's body seemed to freeze in an instant.

The next moment, a cold voice sounded behind him:

"Thank you for your care tonight, Mr. Public Security."
