"Calvados will volunteer at the wedding venue when he has nothing to do. It's not Belmode who is getting married! He won't be so kind."
Vodka despised Chianti's shallow understanding: "So if he appears there tonight, it must be because he is on a mission."
Although he has been going solo recently, Vodka has been with Gin for a long time after all - he has seen too many things like the Hatakeyama family that need to deal with rebellion after changing heirs.
"Calvados will probably take over the task of beating up the Hatakeyama family." Vodka touched his chin and thought secretly:
"Although he normally wouldn't do anything to directly kill the head of the family, but now with Uzo by his side! - with that little Yinbi around, all the seemingly crazy behaviors are actually very reasonable."
"But a cunning guy like Uzo wouldn't make it so obvious even if he wanted to harm his colleagues. Compared to letting Calvados do it directly and then be arrested, it always feels like Calvados died from a stray bullet.
The possibility is higher.
"But then again, I remember from the surveillance, at least at the time when the groom was killed, Calvados did go to the blind area where the crime scene was. Could it be that he really..."
A message suddenly popped up, from the Passersby Mutual Aid Association, but the name was a bit unusual.
"Curaçao? This guy actually spoke. Let me see what she said."
He clicked it open, and the next moment, his eyes widened.
Curacao: [Your betting time is much longer than usual, you talk very little, and the people on the list are extremely accurate - you won't secretly watch other surveillance behind our backs.]
Really playing back the vodka monitored in the manor: "!!"
He stayed for several seconds and stiffly typed out a line of weak defense: [How could it be, me]
Before finishing writing, Curacao: [Okay, no need to explain. I will forgive you if each person is given one coin.]
Vodka: "..." You guy! You are too...too sharp.
He typed with a guilty conscience: [You just ran out of your coins and want to cheat a little more, right? Well, don’t waste time, bet quickly - the countdown is less than one minute.]
After sending it, he showed off his hand speed and secretly sent a small black coin to Curacao.
As expected, Curacao did not continue to announce in the group, but just chatted a number in a cold private voice: [2]
Vodka: "...?"
You, a blackmailer like you, should be hidden from me. If Uzo sees you, you won't survive more than a week in Tokyo!
The colleague suddenly opened his mouth. Fortunately, this wish was not too much. In order to calm down the trouble, he silently hit him again.
"Anyway, this woman has never been right in her bets. It won't be long before the coins are back in my hands." Vodka muttered in his heart:
"Speaking of which, Curacao really abides by the rules of the game - she could ask me for information directly, but she chose to get the small black coins first and then use them to exchange... In a sense, this guy is surprisingly honest.
People."
…
behind the screen.
Curacao looked at the currency in his account that changed from zero to two, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled to himself.
In her opinion, there is not much abnormality about Vodka this time. This guy usually makes bets and doesn't speak often - he just judges others by himself according to the current situation. If she were Vodka, she would probably do the same.
Will peek.
So with the mentality of giving it a try, she just cheated... but she didn't expect that she actually succeeded.
"Now you can bet again." Curacao looked away from the virtual currency and looked at the vodka broadcast monitor again, "I don't know how long Calvados will be able to use it... I hope he is lucky enough."
"As for the murderer this time..."
Curacao's eyes paused on "Calvados" for a moment, then moved away thoughtfully.
"Uzo shouldn't break the new toy so quickly." Curacao carefully speculated on Jiang Xia's possible intentions based on his own experience, "In this case, he shouldn't be targeting Calvados, but just
Just say hello to him briefly. So the murderer should be someone other than Calvados."
With one option eliminated, Curacao turned its attention to other candidates.
After hesitating for a moment, before the countdown ended, Curacao moved his fingertips... and placed the bet on the groom's mother.
Although tigers are poisonous, they will not eat their seeds, but a major feature of Wu Zuo's stage is incest. The closer the relationship, the more likely he is to become a murderer.
"And except for this mother, everyone else has a motive for murder for various reasons - so if you think about it conversely, those who have no motive are even more suspicious."
Of course, the more important thing is that no one has guessed that the murderer is the groom's mother.
So if she guesses correctly, all the small black coins entering the market now will be pocketed by her.
With a beautiful expectation, Curaçao cast his vote with just a click of his finger.
…
Osaka Prefecture, in the Hatakeyama family's estate.
The police did not know that a heinous extortion incident had just ended in a corner that no one cared about - their attention at this time was still focused on the murder of the consortium couple in front of them.
The Otaki Police Department appeased the wealthy guests, and then said: "We took out the bullets from the two deceased people. What we can confirm now is that they were all fired from the pistol in the flower garden - that is
He said that the pistol Jiang Xia and the others found was the murder weapon responsible for today’s two murders, and that this was a serial murder case committed by the same murderer!"
The relatives in the banquet hall were grieving and all breathed a sigh of relief: they were all on the river bank when the bride was shot. Since the two murders were caused by the same murderer, no one was suspected.
"But..." Before the Otaki Police Department finished speaking, he changed the subject, "I heard from the staff here that the groom's mother and cousin returned to the hotel before the banquet ended - can you tell us what happened?
What have you been doing for a while?”
The cousin was stunned for two seconds and started to protest: "What do you mean? You want to say that my aunt and I are the murderers?!"
"Don't get excited." Jiang Xia said smoothly, "The police department just wants to help you get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible."
"Humph." The cousin glanced at him, then at Suzuki Sonoko who had just trotted next to him, straightened her hair, turned off the engine in a low voice, and sat back down again.
Officer Otaki: "..." As expected, he is a detective who even the serious head of the headquarters has spoken highly of. He really knows how to appease the crowd!
As an experienced police officer, he certainly cannot lag behind in this regard.
The bald police officer cleared his throat: "This case just happened not long ago, and we haven't found out the murderer's motive yet - no one can guarantee that he only targeted the newlyweds and would not spread his malice to close relatives like you."
