Chapter 896 There Must Be a Conspiracy

Conan: “!”... Why bother with him! This “Mr. Yamada” is not a good person!

Vodka was suddenly spoken to, and his emotions were no less turbulent than Conan's.

But with the idol in front of me, and still so close...

Vodka showed no fear. Facing Jiang Xia's invitation to chat, he nodded calmly.

“……” But even though he nodded, he didn’t want to speak.

——Who knows what trap Wuzo is setting for him again.

…

Jiang Xia saw that Vodka didn't want to talk, so he didn't force him to speak.

——Anyway, vodka has ears. It just needs to be able to listen.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia asked Kinoshita Yoko:

"I remember the first version of the TV series you mentioned, 'Detective Samonji', in which Miss Kusano and Mr. Kenzaki fall in love,' was filmed three years ago. Mr. Makuma was already Miss Kusano's agent at that time? - But I remember just now, Miss Kusano and Mr. Makuma parted unhappily, saying that he was useless... I always felt that her attitude was not like treating an agent she had worked with for many years."

"This... is a bit complicated. In fact, Xiaoxun doesn't hate Mr. Jianxiong that much." Kinoshita Yoko sighed, "Mr. Jianxiong was originally an actor and worked in the same agency as us. But later, he suddenly gave up his dream of acting and became Xun's agent. Since then, Xun has been angry with him and often said some condemning words. But since then, the two have been working together and have never separated."

“…”

Vodka filtered out the parts that I didn't want to hear, and only picked out the parts that I wanted to hear and replayed them over and over again: the pervert gave up his career to chase a star... Oh, what a tragic story of unrequited love. And in the end, because he couldn't get what he wanted, he turned from love to hate...

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Kinoshita Yoko lower her voice and whisper to Jiang Xia: "There were several times when the company also proposed to change Xiaoxun's agent, but she always disagreed... So I always felt that Xiaoxun actually valued Mr. Jianxiong very much, but she just refused to say it."

Vodka: “…” Miss Axun values ​​that idiot?

...It's fake, it's fake.

…

When a few people are happily chatting.

On the other side, the police who were busy inside and outside the house also came to the conclusion of the search and rushed to report to Inspector Megure:

They found no weapon with which to slit the throat.

Although there were some sharp objects such as scissors and knives, most of them did not match the shape of the wound, and the few that did match showed no blood stains at all.

In other words, the murder weapon was not found anywhere in the apartment or around the apartment where it might have been discarded.

In addition, according to feedback from medical staff, Jian Xiong Du, who left with the ambulance, also did not carry or discard the murder weapon.

…

After listening to this, Inspector Megure sighed and said, "It seems that Ms. Hoshino is right - it should be an outsider who committed the crime?"

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xia uncertainly.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said a few words that were impeccable:

"It's possible. However, if it was an outsider, he came at a very lucky time. There were a lot of people attending the party today, as evidenced by the number of shoes placed in the entrance hall. Normally, a stalker would leave immediately after seeing the shoes and realizing there were so many guests. But he found the bathroom easily and succeeded in the assassination without alerting anyone else in the house. It sounds like... the attacker knew everything about the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, several policemen holding a rag doll came running over to Inspector Megure, as if they had made some important discovery, and reported: "We found several bugs in the rag doll in the victim's home!"

At the same time, they handed over a simple floor plan that marked the locations where the dolls were found.

…

Inspector Megure took a look at the distribution of the bugs and compared them with the testimonies of the witnesses. He found that when Kaoru Kusano said she was going to take a bath, there was indeed a doll with a bug placed near the place where a group of people were talking.

"It seems that the murderer used this to grasp the movements of everyone in the house, and then boldly broke in, waiting for an opportunity to kill." Inspector Megure nodded, and felt that everything suddenly became clear and made sense - this also coincided with the doubts that Jiang Xia had just pointed out.

Inspector Megure took out his cell phone and dialed a number. His thoughts became clearer. "The fact that so many eavesdropping devices could be installed here means that the perpetrator had sneaked into the room before. In that case, it makes perfect sense that he went straight into the bathroom to commit the crime after eavesdropping on the situation... Hello? Takagi, oh, no need to come over. Please contact the victim's agency and look for those fans who have shown fanatical words and deeds."

Vodka, who watched everything, said: "..."

...something's wrong.

——According to Uzo’s style, the murderer couldn’t be just a random killer passing by...but now, why are things developing in this direction?

...There must be another purpose.

Vodka: "..." Speaking of which, Wuzo had just raised the "suspicion" when the police found evidence that could be used to explain it... He read the script so bluntly in front of the police, but the police didn't arrest him on the spot. Instead, they looked at him with admiration, as if Wuzo was their guiding light... Tsk, a bunch of idiots. It must be that these guys were credited with cleaning up the mess, otherwise they would have been fooled to death one by one by Wuzo.

Every time he stood with such a person, Vodka's depressed mood would always subtly improve a lot.

He, Vodka, is different from these idiots - he knows Uzo's true face and can consciously take precautions, and so far, those precautions seem to be quite effective.

Compared to these policemen whose lives were completely in Uzo's hands, it was hard for him not to feel superior.

Happiness really comes from comparison... Vodka looked at the policeman with a little sympathy, and sneered in his heart as if he had seen through everything.

…

As soon as the police's attention shifted elsewhere, many police officers in the house withdrew.

Only a few people were left to collect traces and examine physical evidence, while others stepped up their efforts to search for the "stalker" and his traces in the vicinity.

The living room was much emptier.

The famous celebrities have also gradually calmed down from the incident of their companions having their throats cut.

They were just about to call the hospital to ask about Kaoru Kusano's current condition.

But at this moment, the landline in the living room suddenly rang.

——The phone rang.

The phone call brought good news - Kaoru Kusano was out of danger.

She was unconscious before, not entirely because of excessive blood loss. More importantly, she was knocked unconscious by the drugs on the handkerchief. According to the doctor, it won't be long before she wakes up and identifies the murderer.
