Araide Tomoaki was a second-generation doctor. At present, besides being a doctor, he also served as the school doctor at Teitan High School.
Teitan High School was precisely the school Mouri Ran and the others attended. Moreover, Vermouth also possessed considerable medical skill, so this identity had unfortunately caught the eye of the "Thousand-Faced Witch," who had taken over the nest.
The "Dr. Araide" of today had Vermouth inside.
Vermouth's gaze fell on Conan from the corner of her eye as she watched regretfully while he ran off with a group of children.
Ever since Vermouth had been saved by Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi a year ago, she had taken a liking to those two children, bright as light itself. Unfortunately, their respective positions meant they were destined to have difficulty meeting openly.
If they happened to meet in private, perhaps she could use this disguise to chat with Angel and Cool Guy for a while. But now...
Vermouth withdrew her gaze and looked at Jiang Xia across from her.
—As a famous actress, she was quite sensitive to people's expressions. Jiang Xia's reaction just now had made Vermouth realize that Uzo had probably recognized her at a glance once again.
Uzo knew that the "Araide Tomoaki" before him was actually "Vermouth."
Vermouth thought to herself: Jiang Xia had casually spoken up just now and sent Conan after that child. He must have been worried that Conan's identity as Kudo Shinichi would be exposed before an Organization Cadre like Vermouth, thereby putting his classmates in danger.
Whenever she thought of this, Vermouth felt somewhat helpless.
—When it came to protecting Ran and Shinichi from the Organization's clutches, her goal was completely aligned with Uzo's. Yet she still had to pretend to be an ordinary Organization Cadre.
