Chapter 1309 1317 [It was Vodka that killed Uzo]

It took a second for Vodka to see the person in front of him clearly.

He calmed down and cleared his throat as if nothing had happened: "Situ? Didn't you leave?"... Why did he suddenly come to him? Did this guy Wuzo have another conspiracy?

Being wary of "Uzo's men", Vodka temporarily diverted his attention from his coat pocket.

——The remote control of the bomb on him, in addition to being able to immediately detonate the time bomb, can also stop the detonation immediately when it is close to detonation. This is a function that the organization has specially considered when making bombs, to prevent people carrying bombs from suddenly running into crowded places, causing too many casualties and attracting excessive attention from the police.

But in practice, this situation rarely happens, and the button to stop detonation is almost never used and can easily be overlooked.

…

Two men in black, who did not take off their sunglasses late at night, stared at each other silently in the bushes.

On the other side of the street.

Just before the robbers' vehicle was about to hit Conan and Xiaobai, Jiang Xia dropped the roadblock he was holding, ran towards the two children, picked them up one in each hand, and rushed to the side of the road.

The car brushed past his clothes but fortunately didn't hit him.

Conan escaped death and breathed a sigh of relief, but then he immediately became alert and reminded Jiang Xia: "Be careful of that little..."

boom--

One of the robbers' two cars had just passed them, while the other was a few meters behind.

The two cars exploded at the same time, rolled over with a loud bang, and hit the guardrail by the river heavily.

The guardrail was squeezed from both sides and collapsed in an instant, falling into the river along with the car.

Conan's head buzzed with shock from the blast. When he came to his senses, he was shocked to find that because the three of them were standing by the river, they were also pushed by the blast and fell into the river.

In a flash, Jiang Xia, with a sense of justice, threw the two children in his hands back onto the road.

Conan rolled on the ground and rushed back to the riverside, just in time to see Jiang Xia fall into the river with a thud, making a tiny splash. It had just rained today, and the river was rushing fast. He sank in the blink of an eye and soon disappeared.

"?!" There was no one to be seen on the vast river surface. Conan wanted to fish but didn't know where to start.

So he could only pound the ground with his fist, and let out a useless but infuriating shout: "Jiang Xia——!!"

After shouting, he suddenly remembered something, stood up abruptly and looked to the side.

——If I remember correctly, when Anonymous appears, he often saves some high school detectives who are in trouble, such as him, Sonoko, Hattori Heiji, and Jiang Xia. This time, maybe they...

However, after seeing this, Conan was suddenly stunned.

——Xiao Bai actually ran away after getting into trouble. When I looked over, there was no one around.

…

In the distance, a high point a few blocks away.

A silver-haired man in black put down the telescope, thinking of what he had just seen, and fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, he raised the telescope again and looked at the river again, and found that Wuzo was indeed not on the shore.

...It seems that the figure who was forced to jump into the river in the light of the explosion and was quickly washed away by the water was indeed Wuzo.

Gin: “……?”

…

Half a minute ago.

At the hidden spot by the river, Vodka was finally alarmed by the explosion.

He turned his attention away from Situ and looked at the explosion point. He had originally just wanted to test the results. But when he looked at it, he was suddenly stunned.

Vodka: "..." Uzo fell into the river?

This thought flashed through his mind, leaving him stunned for a few seconds.

After a moment, there was a burst of ecstasy: Haha, it happened to rain today, and the terrain here is low, so the water from the high places gathered here, and the river flow was much faster than usual. Add to that the bumps along the way, and the sharp fragments that fell off the car. When it rushed to the river outside, Xiao Yinbi would be skinned alive if he didn't die, and if he was lucky, he might die directly!

It’s such a big deal. I must go back and open a bottle of old wine that I can’t bear to drink, to mourn my colleague.

But before I could decide which bottle to drink, after the ecstasy, reason took control of my mind again.

Vodka was laughing, but suddenly realized something and the corners of his lips froze.

Gradually, his expression turned into fear.

Vodka: “…” Something is wrong.

This is too much of a coincidence. Wuzo's subordinates are here, and he provided the information. Wuzo couldn't have been unaware of the impending explosion, so how could he have been affected by it? Unless his subordinates rebelled... But this possibility is also not high.

…After eliminating all impossible hypotheses, only one truth remains.

Vodka suddenly looked at the curly-haired man in black next to him, and felt that he had seen the truth: "You plotted against me!!"

Following this speculation, in the night, Situ's originally normal face suddenly became terrifying.

And in the next moment that Vodka saw, he didn't know what the man in black was thinking, his expression changed slightly, and it seemed that his mood inexplicably improved.

“…”

Vodka became more and more certain of his guess, and reached for the pistol at his waist with a serious expression.

Just as he grasped the handle of the gun, Matsuda Jinpei suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed it on his gun-holding hand.

The pale, not-too-thick arm actually firmly held down one of Vodka's arm muscles. With a red face and thick neck, Vodka pulled hard twice, but failed to pull out the gun.

…

Jinpei Matsuda was originally thinking of grabbing something.

But gradually, he discovered that the fluffy murderous aura that originally surrounded Vodka was slowly disappearing like the tide.

Matsuda Jinpei: “……?”

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this big guy in black rarely showed murderous intent in front of Jiang Xia. He vaguely felt that he understood something and tentatively let go of his hand.

Vodka pulled out his gun.

Just as the ghost had expected, the murderous aura surged out.

Vodka didn't expect that he could pull out the gun successfully. Although he hadn't recovered yet, he noticed the increasingly dangerous look in Matsuda Jinpei's eyes, and he instinctively pointed the gun at him: "Don't move!"

Then he kept his finger on the trigger and was silent for a moment.

Vodka: “…” Although he really wanted to shoot to death this subordinate who was suspected of following Uzo’s orders to trap him, but if the whole thing was really planned by Uzo, then Uzo must not be dead now.

If I really killed his people...

In Vodka's mind, he could not help but think of Uzo's terrifying smile, along with the terrifying line "Since you killed my subordinate, then compensate me with one." Then, using even more terrifying means, he was transferred to be the deputy. And then...

Look at Situ's eyes and behavior, which are unable to speak and are increasingly being assimilated by Uzo. Although there is no evidence, Vodka always feels that it must be an experience more terrifying than death.
