Rapping up the confrontation with Vermouth





Conan now knows that code name Vermouth from the black organization is Chris Vineyard, and that Chris vineyard and her mom Sharon Vineyard are the same person.

(This is only my personal speculation. I think it obviously has to do with Vermouth taking either APTX 4869 or possibly an other drug, maybe with APTX 4869 being the prototype. With Sharon having told the story about Chris showing up at the grave of her late husband, disguised as him, it seems like maybe Chris and Sharon both existed at one time, but then Sharon died but Chris took her place for a little while. Or, Sharon got old, then used a drug to become young, and so had no choice but to pretend to be her own daughter and say that her mother died. Though none of these options can be confirmed at this point.)

Ran and Sonoko (and Conan, Haibara, and Agasa) know that Jodie is an FBI agent. She convinces Ran and Sonoko that she is just in Japan on vacation though, and that the night of the incident she was going to say goodbye to Conan and Haibara when she saw them get kidnapped. So she followed the kidnappers, had a shoot out, and the kidnappers fled.

Ran got in Jodie's trunk after she got suspicious form the photos she saw. But she says she put them behind her mirror because a Japanese friend of hers said it was strange to have the photos sitting out all over her house. Sonoko and Ran remember that in America, people often have pictures of family and friends sitting on their desks, etc.

The FBI is targeting Vermouth but don't know her true intentions. So, they gave the Japanese police a similar kidnapping story to cover the events.

Conan removes all the wiretaps in Agasa's house and goes around town disguised as Haibara and doesn't see anybody following him. And, with Vermouth saying she'll give up on Haibara. Conan believes they are safe for now.

Also we now know that for some reason the black organization wants Akai Shuichi dead. (The purpose of Chris disguising as a slasher in New York. They thought if it was just an ordinary criminal, that Shuichi would lower his guard.) But while we know that Jodie is after Vermouth to avenge her father's death and finish his investigation, we don't really know why Shuichi has a personal reason to go after Vermouth. If may be related to him cutting his hair (or maybe not. I'm again only guessing).

The FBI offers to put Haibara in the witness protection program but in the end because of something Ayumi says, Haibara decides not to because she doesn't want to run from the syndicate anymore.

Araide moves back. He was told by Jodie that someone disguised themselves as him to commit a crime, but the criminal had blown their cover and fled so it was safe for him and his family to return from America. The criminal wouldn't try the same trick twice and an other doctor already took a job at a hospital in Aomori where Araide was going to go work. So, Araide returns to being the schools doctor.
