Chapter 2: meeting vermouth and gaining recognition instead of Shinichi part-1
As long as he can increase his deduction skill he might be able to deduce magic as well and get a hang of it later. Who don't want a little bit of magic in their hands as life saving instrument. Also he has space.
Even though it is just one cubic meter for the time being it is more than enough for him to use in the coming days. As for increasing its capacity he did not think much about this matter for the time being.
After all, improving this space requires quite a big amount of confession points. In his space he carries a bunch of paper and pens with him for him to write the confessions of these people and let them sign the confession paper.
Naturally people would not sign the confession easily unless they are threatened enough and could not do anything to the other party. Yuuki Rito is dominant and he knows both legal points and also the dark points that can be used to trap a person.
He is strong enough to put enough pressure on the other party to make him or her submits and confesses. Those delinquents are easy to submit but there is always someone that would not submit.
A year ago Yuuki Rito went to New York along with Ran and Shinichi. Well he was also their friend and he was called by Yukiko the mother of Shinichi to this place to see the Broadway Production "Golden Apple", after getting tickets from Sharon Vineyard.
Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth's current persona. Upon arriving, Sharon greets Yukiko disguised as the Police Inspector Radish Redwood in order to keep Yukiko from getting a traffic ticket.
Sharon then talks about her troubled past, her parents' death, her daughter Chris Vineyard, and her disguise techniques which she learned from Toichi Kuroba. Eventually, Sharon, Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran head to the backstage to meet with the actresses.
After Ran knocked one of the actresses out of the way of a falling suit of armor, Sharon gives her a handkerchief for her scraped arm. Sharon then leaves after the occurrence, saying she has something to take care of and has a bad feeling about that night.
Knowing the entire plot Yuuki Rito was present on the spot but did not say anything reducing his presence. Yuuki Rito knows that Yukiko wanted Ran to be daughter in law and marry her son Kudo Shinichi. So Yuuki Rito did not act as a light bulb.
In the past few years he saw that Ran has feeling for Shinichi and he did not meddle in their lives. There are plenty of women in this world and he doesn't have to stick to one. In the past life he has so many romantic entanglements that he could not count it with his fingers.
Well he also has number of heirs that are living as sons and daughters of other men as he and those women hid the matter of true father a secret all the time. But that is not a big deal here as there are plenty of beauties that he can go after.
He just has to wait for the right opportunity. So he is not interested in Ran. In the future if she falls in love with him, then he would think about this matter. As for Sonoko, she has already fallen in love with him and has been pestering him to become her boyfriend.
But Yuuki Rito casually accepted it. But it was kept a secret for the time being. After all, Yuuki Rito is not a rich person and cannot be with Sonoko that is very rich and has a very rich Suzuki family standing behind her.
So even if he accepts her, her family might not accept him. So he let things happens as they should be. This would allow him to follow Sonoko when she and Ran go out with Conon. Also he is planning to become part time assistant for Mouri Kogoro.
Coming back to the point, after leaving Yukiko, Shinichi, Yuuki Rito and Ran at the theater, Sharon disguises herself as a wanted silver haired male serial killer to lure out Shuichi Akai and kill him. However, Vermouth underestimates Akai and gets on the side.
At that time Yukiko stops Yuuki Rito to tell him some work and let Shinichi take Ran back because she is ill at that time. But that moron Shinichi did not take her to ride a car instead he wanted to walk and got lost.
Fortunately Yuuki Rito put a scent on them and followed the honey bee. His is one of his many tracking tricks. If it was the modern world he would have used the surveillance cameras through hacking. But this is different and the technology is backward.
Vermouth then escaped, but Akai continues to look for her. Vermouth hides in an empty building; however, she is discovered by Shinichi who went to retrieve the handkerchief that Sharon gave to Ran.
Right then Yuuki Rito came over searching for Shinichi and Ran as he was left behind because of something or deliberately giving space for Ran and Shinichi. But Yuuki Rito is only playing tricks and is not willing to give up on the beauties.
He would not trick them into love but he would definitely trick them to show his capabilities and shake the heart of the other part with true capabilities. Also Ran knows him since they are young. So he should act naturally.
When Yuuki Rito arrived there is only Ran waiting for Shinichi. Seeing this Yuuki Rito became angry and scolded Shinichi. "How can that idiot leave you and go running off in a place like this for a handkerchief."
At that time they Ran into inspector Akai and he warned them. Yuuki Rito, Ran Mouri then went searching for Shinichi after being told by Akai to leave since a serial killer was on the loose around the area.
On the external stairwell several floors up, Ran and Yuuki Rito comes face to face with Vermouth disguised as the silver haired serial killer with Shinichi in hot pursuit from above.
Vermouth prepares to kill Ran and Yuuki Rito with a silenced handgun, but the railing she is leaning on broke.
