Hi mtx!
Can you plz explain me two different events, first what did Shu mean by saying "the target didn't appear" in last panel of file 289, I mean wasn't Vermouth as Araide there with them? The second thing is what Masumi meant by her words in last panels file 775 about deleting evidences and why did she delet Haibara's photo? I really don't fully understand this whole thing of masumi-haibara at that case
Thanks!
In File 434, Akai referenced again that the "main target" didn't show up (after they fought off Vermouth), so he wasn't talking about Vermouth.
It's more than likely that he was referring to Gin, since Gin was the "main target" during his infiltration as Rye that the FBI wanted to capture in order to reach the boss (File 599).
As for the Masumi scene, it was simply showing that she was deleting all the info she had saved in that hotel room PC and she was simply highlighting outloud that despite deleting it, it's still stored in her mind (Gosho basically teasing that her suspicions will be continued).
