During the long night, the only people who stayed awake all night were Conan and Gin, and of course the other person involved in the whirlpool - Vodka.
Unlike Gin who was studying his diary, Vodka's attention had already been focused on another business he had been working on.
"Taku Itakura actually died as early as yesterday afternoon?"
The strong man in black covered his eyes with one hand and looked at the news related to Jiang Xia through his fingers. He felt like he was watching a horror movie happening around him.
He shuddered, and when he recalled his experience last night, he felt that everything was weird: "Then who was the person who called me in the villa in Gunma County before? Could it be a ghost?!"
"No, no, no, calm down. There are no ghosts in the world. If there is, it's Uzo who is doing it." The vodka eliminated this terrible possibility, and he thought rationally:
"So it's really that woman from Belmod who is helping the evildoers. I can't spare this bastard!"
Jian Jian punched Bermod several times in his mind, Vodka dismissed the matter, and reviewed the murder case in front of him again.
"Sure enough, just like my flash of thought last night, Taku Itakura's heart disease has become an indispensable element on the stage."
"As for the process of his death - he accepted the commission, but did not want to do it. Instead, he planned to let the client follow him and flee abroad. However, before he could successfully escape, he was approached by the client in a way that was difficult to suspect.
Way 'sickness and death'...
“In this series of processes, replacing ‘three unlucky clients’ with ‘organization’ seems to have no sense of inconsistency.
"Uzo actually used this method to execute people who had tricked the organization in an honest and fair manner."
For an organization that pursues "mystery and low-key", Uzo's behavior is simply arrogant. But the problem is that no one outside the organization can see through this, so this arrogant behavior has become an impeccable "low-key"
”.
"Humph, although this time it went well, if this kid continues to be arrogant, sooner or later he will overturn!"
Vodka cursed while collecting all the information about this case in detail, and then carefully stored them in his collection.
——Behind the conspiracy of Itakura Taku's death, there is a bigger conspiracy like a spirit behind it. Only those who know Uzo can see it... I have to admit that although this case makes him hate it, it is indeed worth repeating.
Research.
"And Itakura Taku actually dared to play tricks on me. Counting the time, if Uzo hadn't killed him, he might have really slipped away from under my nose..."
Thinking about it, I was eagerly waiting for the transaction. After waiting for a long time, I still got no reply. I ran to the villa and found that the building was empty... By then, I am afraid that all the anger of the organization will fall on him, an innocent worker.
On the body.
But now, seeing that the pigeon had been killed by the person he had pigeoned, Vodka let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, the matter with Taku Itakura has come to an end. Can I go back to Brother Gin soon?"
Thinking of this, Vodka picked up his phone expectantly and clicked on his email.
…
When an organization member is cautiously testing for reinstatement.
the other side.
Hui Yuan Ai originally wanted to go back to the house to catch up on her sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep when she lay down.
She was idle, and after tossing and turning a few times, she simply yawned, got up, went into the kitchen, and baked a few newly learned pastries and breads.
The dough in the oven gradually expanded, and the aroma spread out. Haiyuan Ai looked at the scene of decompression with her cheeks raised, and her nervousness eased a lot. After thinking about it, she went to the side to find coffee beans and brewed a pot for herself.
coffee.
After that, she went back to the basement to spend some time. After the bread was baked, she took out the breakfast...
Then when he turned around, he suddenly noticed a few more figures in the living room.
——Conan has not left yet, and is walking out of the study with Dr. Ali. The two people who stayed up all night now have a pair of dark circles under their eyes, and their faces are haggard.
Smelling the aroma of caramel wafting from the air, they paused and turned their heads to look this way, their eyes shining, and they swallowed hard.
At the same time, the door of the living room was pushed open - it was already past eight in the morning, which was exactly the time Jiang Xia usually went out. The night he stayed up last night seemed to have no impact on this energetic detective.
He came over on time to find breakfast as usual.
Haiyuan Ai: "..." Fortunately, I baked it a little more...
…
The fragrant breakfast makes people's short-circuited thoughts become flexible again.
Conan searched for the disk all night but couldn't find it. Now he finally remembered another thing. He looked at Jiang Xia and said doubtfully:
"By the way, I just heard on the radio that the police found a stolen car near Xianqiao Station. The car was suspected to have been robbed by three jewel robbers from Gunma County - you were in the car last night
That car came back?"
Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and was not surprised that Conan knew this: Subaru Okiya's car was driven away by this young man, and Dr. A Li's car had broken down. If the people in the villa want to come back, they can't
Running on two legs.
And in this case, the dirty car stolen by the gem robbers happened to appear at Xianqiao Station - this is already difficult to explain by coincidence. If you can't even think of this, Conan can let go of his high school identity
, seriously going to be Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya’s younger brother.
So he didn't hide anything and told the truth: "Yesterday you were sneaking away from me and suddenly went out at night. I was a little curious... I mean, I was a little worried, so I just wanted to follow you and have a look."
Conan: "..." Sure enough, Jiang Xia's curiosity was no weaker than Kudo Shinichi's. Fortunately, she insisted on not telling him about the black organization.
While distracted, Jiang Xia continued: "I heard that you and the doctor drove away, so I wanted to get a car to follow. Unexpectedly, at this time, I happened to meet the enthusiastic Mr. Okiya. He heard that a child went out late at night.
I was very worried about your safety, so I gave you a ride."
Conan: "..." Just when you were trying to follow me, an enthusiastic driver suddenly appeared? - Listen to yourself, this is too suspicious!
In Conan's mind, Subaru Okiya's danger level increased slightly.
Jiang Xia: "You know what happened next. I followed the signal for the spare glasses and went all the way to the villa. I found that there was a light on inside, so I wanted to go in and ask.
"But we didn't meet anyone after we entered, and when we turned around, Mr. Okiya's car was also driven away."
"..." Conan took a bite of bread guiltily and found an excuse to brush it off, "Aren't there robbers in Qunma County? I'm worried that two robbers broke in, so...
