Chapter 2786 2798 [Kill Conan! ]

A few minutes ago.

As Vodka walked through the hospital, he soon noticed the little brat chasing him from behind - it was not that his observation skills had improved much, but he knew at once that the kid would not be able to help but follow him and wait for an opportunity to persecute him.

"Humph, you dare to be disrespectful to me just because you have Wuzo behind you. I think you need to be taught a lesson - do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Thinking of this, Vodka flashed into the corridor, quickly did a back-pedal, and when Conan rushed over, he grabbed him and... stuffed him into a cleaning truck in the corner.

By the time the short-legged guy finally pushed open the lid and climbed out of the car, Vodka had already patted his sleeves and disappeared from his sight.

——If it were normal times, he would still have time to maintain the appearance of Mr. Yamada and deal with this kid.

But now, Vodka just wants to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

He reached the parking lot and quickly checked his vehicle, looking left and right in the process.

Not finding anything unusual, Vodka got into the car and drove away.

…Then he turned a few more corners and went back to his original position.

He looked around furtively and saw that there was still nothing unusual and all the cars were still parked in their original positions. Vodka then started again and drove away at a high speed.

…

Two minutes after he left.

A car started slowly and quietly drove in the direction where Vodka left.

In the car, Shuichi Akai recalled the organization cadres' actions just now and was a little surprised.

"When did this guy become so cautious?" He tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, a little confused, "Could it be that this is not Vodka himself, but Gin or Vermouth in disguise?"

"No, that's not right. Vermouth is under our surveillance. It's hard for her to run so far without making any noise. And Gin...what reason does he have to disguise himself as Vodka? This is simply unimaginable.

"Let's take a step back. Even if he was pretending, he wouldn't have stopped and come back to be the driver when Jiang Xia called him in the restaurant just now. If it was really Gin, he would just pretend that he didn't hear that and walk away as usual. Then he would turn around and find an excuse to kill the peripheral member who exposed his existence in public."

Combined with the man's walking posture, demeanor and behavior... no matter from which angle you look at it, the person who just got on the car looked more like Vodka himself, rather than a disguised person.

This made Shuichi Akai once again adjust his impression of Vodka in his mind: To be honest, when he found out that the car in the parking lot of the Chinese restaurant belonged to Vodka, he actually regretted not installing a transmitter and a bug on the car - Vodka should be one of the few people in the organization who is easy to deal with and knows a lot, and this person has a close relationship with Gin. If he can be caught, it will definitely be a considerable gain.

But now...

"It's true that a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence." Akai Shuichi sighed silently, "Fortunately, I didn't let my guard down, otherwise I might have been discovered by him just now."

As he thought about it, he followed with mixed feelings.

Although Vodka is now out of his sight, Shuichi Akai is already familiar with the road conditions nearby.

He didn't need to keep watching to figure out where Vodka had gone just now - he just had to catch up with him before reaching the next intersection.

…

"Speaking of which, who was that knitted hat watching the fun in the Chinese restaurant just now?"

On the way, while driving, Vodka thought of something that worried him.

——Compared to the young imp raised by Usa, Shuichi Akai's complete "Silver Bullet" is obviously a more vigilant target.

"First, rule out Hashimoto Maya. If the guy on the first floor was him, he should have taken the initiative to run to help the moment he made eye contact with Jiang Xia." Vodka crossed out a name in his mind:

"Then there are only two options left - a passerby who wears a knitted hat because he's afraid of the cold, or Akai Shuichi."

"If he really is just an ordinary passerby, that would be the best. But... with Uzo nearby, will things really be that simple?"

"Besides, when I was stopped by that bastard Uzo at the Chinese restaurant and had to be his driver, I looked towards the place where I saw the knitted hat before, but there was no one wearing a knitted hat there - if it was an ordinary passerby, he should not have coincidentally left my sight in just a few seconds..."

All the clues were pieced together in his mind, and finally, an idea flashed through Vodka's mind as he sweated profusely.

——The knitted hat in the Chinese restaurant was most likely the person he least wanted to see, Shuichi Akai.

What is the scariest thing in the world?

It’s not that you see a cockroach as big as your fist next to your pillow, but that it disappears after a quick glance - you can't be sure whether it has left or quietly sneaked into your bed.

Vodka deeply felt this feeling at this time.

"Is that Akai guy still with Uzo, or has he already caught up with me?... Then again, he doesn't even know who Uzo is. So compared to Jiang Xia, I must be more attractive to him."

Vodka forbearingly suppressed the thought of exposing Uzo's identity and could only continue to think for himself: "I will soon be trading with Itakura Taku. If I bring my tail over at this time and leak the information, I'm afraid I will be shot by my big brother.

"How about finding something else for Akai Shuichi to do, just like we did with Uzo? For example, ask Ireland to meet him? But I don't know what Ireland has been busy with recently. If I suddenly ask him to meet, he will definitely be suspicious. If things go wrong, I will have two enemies at that time."

As he was thinking anxiously, he suddenly saw a luxury car in the adjacent lane, driving towards him in a slightly strange manner.

"Hmm?" Vodka glanced at it casually, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. "The front of the car keeps jumping to one side, and the tire is shaking a little... Is this car going to have a flat tire?"

He was very alert and carefully passed by the car. Fortunately, nothing happened, he successfully left, and the car continued to drive forward.

"It would be great if this car could hit the potential Akai Shuichi." Vodka prayed in his heart, and suddenly he remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Oh, right, that Uzo likes to write essays on given topics the most! And if I remember correctly, just like he always lets Ireland get hit by objects thrown from high places, when he targets Akai Shuichi, his favorite theme is 'car accidents'."

“Could it be…”
