Though in the anime depiction only the clothes are similar..

I've got a look alike suspect for the husband, although Gosho may have alluded to the denial of the connection. Still the resemblance is uncanny.. As you can see, Eri Kisaki's father is similar in face structure and hair tune to the mysterious man. And in the same posture, but nothing can be proven and it is only a possibility though it is 25 chapter later.

Well, I'll definitely consider her at that level if she turns out to be disguised as Rumi. Until then, though, those two instances of her failing to meet her objective because of Shinichi/Conan (429–434/345 and 818–824/701–704), for me, put her in a lower echelon. Ah, so we're not talking about Mary. Gotcha. Silver Bullet? We know very little, certainly. That's why I won't be too incredulous if a character shows up and is eventually revealed to have been shrunk by Silver Bullet in the past. So... do you think he's Anokata? I just thought it was a good place for that namedrop, regardless of who Rumi turns out to be. I don't think she's overcome her desire to see Shiho/Ai die, though. If Rumi is revealed to be Vermouth, I'm gonna ask where Vermouth gained the capacity to resist such an easy opportunity to get what she wanted (and no, it's not that promise—vague words can easily be skirted around)—she just has to arrange things just right, behind the scenes, and get the right situation set up, and she'd get away with it. Especially if she's suddenly Shinichi's/Conan's equal. There probably would've been more a deadpan delivery than a creepy one, on her part, if that was the case. Look, I just see her eyes during those intense scenes, and it just gives me the feel of a different character—and Rumi being a different character is my preference. Vermouth's already complex and all that—no need to be gratuitous with that at the expense of a new character, when Vermouth's already quite popular. I'll roll with it if your theory turns out to be true, but it's just not my preference. Eh, that just struck me as the first hint of what we now see quite often from Shiho/Ai—her becoming accustomed to a normal life (well, normal as much the world of DC can be when you're around Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa, as he pursues a criminal organization that can turn you into a child). When Shinichi/Conan says, in that case, "I thought you were able to smell the members of the Organization," he doesn't say "all members," he just says "the members." Who knows what those abilities of hers were like, before she shrunk?
