Chapter 1833 1840 [Eye drops... failed] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
Like Gin, the email attachment Vodka received also contained a photo of a "strange man who had a connection with him." The man was burly and looked like he had received rigorous training.
However, it was useless to be strong. The body in the photo was floating miserably in the bathtub, and the blood from the head dyed the whole tub of water red. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was dead.
Here is Uzo's postscript:
[While searching for information, I suddenly saw the commemorative photos saved in my phone, so I sent them to you. I had wanted to find an opportunity to take a photo with Mr. Izuka Taro, but unfortunately he died too early.
[Except for the forensic autopsy, this should be the last photo of him left in the world - you two really look alike, you must not follow in his footsteps.]
Through the screen, Vodka felt as if he was punched in the face by a strong malice.
He couldn't help but report: "Brother! He actually said that I had a connection with a dead person and sent me this kind of photo. This... This is a contempt and provocation to the organization. He is cursing me. Maybe this is actually a murder notice!"
Gin was annoyed by his noise: "Shut up, are you an elementary school student with cockroaches stuffed in your schoolbag?"
Sending this kind of photo to an ordinary person would indeed be considered a threat, but Vodka was actually shocked. This guy had obviously handled many corpses. "It seems that you have been too idle at work recently."
“…”
Vodka's heart skipped a beat. He pondered over this sentence and suddenly worried that Gin would find some work to do for him, and then he would be tricked by Uzo who was well prepared when dealing with the body, and be exposed on the spot and caught in the police chase...
no!
Vodka shook his head violently, throwing the bad future out of his mind. He was angry but dared not say anything, so he could only silently keep a score with Uzo in his heart.
The car finally became quiet, and the crooked car got back on track.
Gin glanced at Vodka, and thinking of his reaction just now, he gradually confirmed one thing.
What did Vermouth say before? The purpose of Uzo setting up those stages was to make the souls of the innocent people who died tragically come back to seek revenge on him, in order to prove that there are ghosts in the world?
Gin: "..." Ha, this guy really doesn't understand Uzo. Isn't Uzo's purpose obvious? Most of the time, he just wants to observe people's extreme reactions in the bloody drama, peek into human nature, and find happiness in this way.
...For example, when dealing with Kurosawa Kazuma and Izuka Taro, the methods used in these two cases were obviously more crude than the other two. It is likely that Uzo found Kanjima's name interesting after he learned it, so he added it on the spot.
As for the midnight chattering...
Vermouth has lived abroad for a long time, and she doesn't know much about the young people in Tokyo: maybe there is a ghost boss in the newly released game when they shout to catch ghosts, and Uzo dreams about it every day. After all, in Gin's impression, Uzo often hangs out in the game hall with those little brothers. Games are probably one of his hobbies.
As for investigating information on ghosts, there are more explanations: simple curiosity, the desire to expand knowledge, the desire to design killing methods related to ghosts and psychics...any of them makes more sense than "wanting to see ghosts."
Gin: “…” I don’t know how Vermouth suddenly had such a flash of inspiration and came to such an outrageous conclusion.
This person has been lax for too long, and his intuition has become inaccurate.
Originally, Gin had no intention of replying to Belmore's letter.
But after hesitating for a moment, he still typed a message and sent it over casually:
[You are too tired, take a rest before making any judgment.
[You will look back on today's conclusions and realize how foolish you were.]
…
the next day.
A bustling commercial street in Tokyo.
Jiang Xia yawned as he accompanied his classmates shopping for costumes and props, while nibbling on three scoops of fresh ice cream. At the same time, he glanced around to see if there was anywhere around him that could use his detective skills.
Buying an island or land is not something that can be done in a day or two. Although Jiang Xia has two puppet secretaries and a spherical electronic secretary who can handle things efficiently, he has access to the Internet, but the other party is still more accustomed to using traditional paper documents, so the efficiency is really not fast enough. For the sake of the mysterious and attractive new ghost, he had to wait patiently for a few more days.
"How about this one?"
Suzuki Sonoko's voice came from the side.
Jiang Xia turned around and saw her holding a brochure and looking at a store selling decorations. It seemed that she wanted to buy some accessories from the store to modify her costumes.
Mao Lilan also came over to help with reference.
Just then, there was a clanging sound from the escalator next to them.
Jiang Xia looked up and saw a tall young woman tripping over the suitcase next to her, then stumbling down the elevator with the suitcase.
"careful!"
Mao Lilan reacted quickly and rushed over to support the person before she and the box fell to the ground.
The young woman stood up in panic, still in shock: "Thank you, thank you."
Conan instinctively ran over there, wanting to help, but when he saw her standing firm, he stopped again and looked at her suspiciously.
In the chaos just now, the young woman's cross-body bag fell off and the contents were scattered all over the floor.
While Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were helping her pick up things, Conan walked up to Jiang Xia and pulled him.
Then Jiang Xia squatted down skillfully and asked in a low voice: "Is this someone you know?"
Jiang Xia looked at the woman and said, "I don't remember. What's wrong?"
Conan touched his chin: "She was distracted on the escalator just now. When she was about to reach the ground, she suddenly saw you below, and turned around in panic and wanted to go the other way. But the suitcase she brought was too big, and it tripped her, so she fell down just now..."
As Conan was talking, his voice suddenly stopped.
After a moment, he scratched his head in confusion: "Why do I feel that she looks familiar?"
It soon became clear that the detective's powers of observation and memory were not mistaken.
Because Mao Lilan also suddenly thought of something.
She looked at the tall young woman and suddenly realized that this person who exuded a mature temperament seemed to be her elementary school classmate: "Are you... Masumi?"
"Oh, really?" Suzuki Sonoko was shocked. She also stared at the woman and quickly confirmed, "It's really you. I heard that you became a model and became the chief model of a company. I saw you walking on the runway on TV - the tomboy back then has grown into a beauty. Hahahaha, remember to sign an autograph for us later!"
Suzuki Sonoko's enthusiasm quickly infected Mouri Ran, but it seemed that it failed to infect Takamori Masumi.
She tried hard to smile in surprise at meeting her old classmates after a long separation, but the corners of her eyes were a little stiff. A closer look revealed that she didn't want to reminisce with her old classmates at all and just wanted to leave quickly.
When Takamori Masumi accidentally caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia from the corner of his eye, his smile suddenly became even stiffer.
