Chapter 3379 3391 [Do you want to dismantle the stage?]

reject.

Judy's first reaction was to refuse outright, refusing to play this role which sounded problematic.

However, before she spoke, she looked around and suddenly realized that what Hattori Heiji said was actually correct. She was the only one who could play the role of "drunk victim" here.

Judy: “…”

Could it be...

Have to go?

…

It was not until she sat on the deceased's single bed and watched Jiang Xia pull out a bottle of sherry from somewhere that Judy realized something belatedly.

"Since there's no suitable role, why not just kill the entire script? - It's not like this crappy script has to be performed!"

Judy slapped her thigh in frustration, realizing that she had forgotten the option of "smashing the stage".

"How about you regret it now?"

The word "forget it" came to her lips, but looking at the people around her who were busy with this, and thinking that this one sentence could dismantle an invisible stage... After hesitating for a moment, Judy closed her mouth.

"Things like dismantling the stage... I really need to think it over carefully and not make a decision lightly." Judy muttered to herself:

"I remember Shuichi had tried something similar before, but even someone as skilled as him ended up with a wrecked car, a body covered in dirt and wounds, and a lost gun. So, if I were to do the same thing..."

Putting herself in the shoes of Shuichi Akai, Judy's face turned green at the thought.

"I might as well give it a try... Come to think of it, this role seems tailor-made for me."

Judy rubbed her chin, seizing the moment to think before the action unfolded. "This targeting is very obvious. I'll probably reject this seemingly dangerous proposal after I realize it—the scriptwriter must have anticipated this. So if I were him, I'd hide my true killer move behind rejecting the script."

"So, to break the routine, now, should I actually agree to it?"

After this thought came to her mind, Judy thought about it and suddenly understood, "That's right! This was a simulated experiment conducted under the watchful eyes of countless police officers. As far as I know, this is actually a common practice. When it comes to murder and serious crimes, the police often conduct similar small experiments to verify details.

"That means they have enough experience to avoid the dangers of the experiment. This is much safer than me going it alone after being rejected."

"Act!" Judy was decisive after all. She nodded vigorously, secretly making up her mind, "With a bunch of police officers surrounding me, no one would come out to murder me. As long as I'm determined not to jump downstairs, who can kick me down?"

"...Well, we can't rule out the possibility that there's a lunatic among the police who enjoys kicking people off buildings. So, to guard against this, during the experiment, I'll ask everyone to stay far enough away from me. If they get close, I'll immediately scream for help and run away from the window. With my skills, no one can easily throw me off the building."

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from the side: "Teacher Judy, you don't look well - are you okay?"

"!" Judy, who was thinking seriously, was startled by this sudden conversation.

She looked up and saw Jiang Xia holding a wine glass in one hand and an unopened bottle of sherry in the other, and handed them to her.

"It's okay!" Judy maintained her cheerful persona. "Oh, Sherry! I love this wine."

Jiang Xia glanced at her: "..." I wonder if the real-life Sherry who was catching a cold in the distance would sneeze a few more times when it was held in the hands of an FBI and drunk by him.

On the single bed, Judy pretended to be surprised and looked at the bottle over and over again.

It's sealed and original, there's no problem with it, and the wine glass... Jiang Xia must have washed it in the kitchen just now, there are still water droplets on it, it looks very clean.

Judy: "..." Based on her trust in Jiang Xia, this wine glass should be usable. But based on her suspicion of a certain mysterious cadre, she finally decided to drink from the bottle.

"Alright!" Seeing Judy open the bottle and drink it down in a very heroic manner, Hattori Heiji turned around and said to Inspector Megure, "We need to make some arrangements now, so you can leave first."

Inspector Megure, who was a little curious about what they were going to do: "..."

Humph, the rude Osaka detective, he didn't really want to watch it anyway.

A police officer told himself to put the overall situation first, while pretending to be calm as he walked out the door, closing it behind him, leaving the two high school detectives and Judy in the room, and also leaving Takagi to help them.

When I turned around, I saw three more big troubles.

"Um..." the young office worker complained, "You said you needed the three of us to cooperate with the on-site investigation, so we came here. But why is the so-called on-site investigation about that foreign woman sitting in Gao Jing's bedroom drinking?"

"That's right." The middle-aged office worker leaned against the wall dissatisfiedly, staggering drunkenly. "If you don't have any business, just let us go back. Who has time to fool around with you? We still have work tomorrow."

The deceased's girlfriend also nodded, cheering her two colleagues on with her actions.

Inspector Megure sighed and had to deal with the three suspects skillfully to keep them at the scene.

We were chatting excitedly when the bedroom door opened.

Inspector Megure looked back and saw the detectives and Takagi walking out together, and then closing the door again.

"Why are you out so soon?" Inspector Megure was a little surprised. "Are you ready?"

Officer Gao Mu scratched the back of his head and stammered, "I guess so. Teacher Judy had already finished her drink and went to sleep, and then I quietly put my phone under her pillow."

...Although I don’t know what the point of doing this is, since Jiang Xia doesn’t object, it should be correct.

Hattori Heiji was obviously very satisfied with the current situation. He laughed and said, "Next, we just need to wait for Teacher Judy to fall asleep, and then do a little trick without waking her up, and this murder case will be resolved."

Inspector Megure couldn't stand this riddler: "What are you talking about?"

Hattori Heiji smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will know soon."

Inspector Megure: "..." I really want to call the chief in Osaka and have him take his son back for disrupting the scene and give him a good lesson... But among colleagues, this really doesn't look good. And although this dark-skinned guy is not very useful, he is still helping to solve the case...
