Chapter 2286 2298 [Uzo's late night appointment]
Vodka had no tricks, he just wanted to leave this damn villa alive.
After returning to the guest room assigned to him, Vodka first quickly and carefully checked his room.
"Except for what I bring with me, there are no eavesdropping or surveillance devices, no traps, no sharp weapons that could 'accidentally' fall on my head... Well, this room is not bad."
After eliminating the danger around him, Vodka came to the window, pressed close to the wall, and carefully looked out through the gap in the curtains.
Soon, his eyes fell to the parking lot and landed on his plain black car.
"How about I drive away first, come back after tonight, and pretend that I've always been here?" Vodka thought quietly in his mind, "Of course, if this place is razed to the ground by an explosion or something like that tonight, then I don't have to come back..."
He was quite tempted by this plan, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered the gun that was still in Uzo's hand. Vodka paused and silently returned to his original position.
"Forget it. This seems too suspicious. Besides, I, Vodka, am not the kind of coward who would flee from the battlefield." Vodka took a deep breath and encouraged himself. "At worst, I can just stay awake tonight and endure it for a while. Then, I can escape in time when danger comes."
…
night.
Vodka, who had just fallen asleep with his clothes on, moved his ears and suddenly realized something.
The next moment, he jumped up with unprecedented agility, moved close to the door and listened carefully.
——There seems to be some movement outside.
Not outside the window, but in the corridor near the side door—someone sneaked in!
Vodka: “…” These guys are indeed not so quiet.
However, the fact that they were willing to enter the villa was actually a good thing - it at least meant that there would be no large-scale attacks here, such as explosions, which was very friendly to a passerby like him.
Vodka: "..." No, we can't take it lightly. What if they sneaked in just to make preparations? When Haitang Yangtai turned the gas valve before, he went into the kitchen first.
"Anyway..." Vodka was alert and thinking secretly, "Let's take a look at the situation first, and then decide how to deal with it."
He put his ear to the door, trying to listen carefully, and then he found that the deliberately light footsteps passed by his door and stopped in front of the door next door.
——That is Jiang Xia’s room.
Vodka was happy.
Fight, fight quickly!
At the same time, he suddenly remembered something and quickly shrank back, avoiding the door - if he remembered correctly, both men had guns, and if they started shooting indiscriminately and a bullet went through the door and hit him, things would be troublesome.
Vodka: “…”Come to think of it, that was supposed to be my gun!
He sighed softly, hid in a safe place, and continued to eavesdrop.
…
Haitang Yangtai slipped out of the door, came to Jiangxia's door, and stuffed an invitation letter through the crack of the door.
Then he knocked gently on the door a few times, quickly stood up and hid in the corner.
Not long after, Jiang Xia's door opened. A figure held the door handle and looked at the empty door, as if he was a little confused.
After a while, the man picked up the invitation letter, took a look at it, and walked towards the gate according to what was said.
All of this was reflected by the vase and fell into Haitang Yangtai's eyes.
When the blurry figure walked away, Haitang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, waved his fist happily and excitedly, then slowly followed from a safe distance.
The invitation letter he had just stuffed in was written in the name of his wife Haitang Qianhe - "she" said that she was depressed and wanted to invite Jiang Xia to her study to talk about those strange cases.
"Young people are really not good at saying no." Haitang Yangtai pushed up his glasses and sneered in his heart, "But don't worry, besides you, my wife who is worried about something will not say no either."
As an old married couple for many years, Haitang Yangta knew his wife a little: Haitang Qianhe was indeed often sad at night. At this time, if a young man with good looks and good words came to her door, she would definitely not mind chatting with him.
And that woman couldn't control her mouth when she started chatting, and she liked to feed snacks to others while she ate herself, as if that would make others gain weight with her and relieve her psychological burden about weight.
"Jiang Xia is a high school boy, he may not like sweets."
Haitang Yangtai speculated presumptuously: "But it's not a big problem. I will put poison in the tea. Even if he doesn't eat snacks during the chat, he will definitely drink water. After all, that woman is best at awkward conversations, and people like to drink water when they are embarrassed. The poison will eventually fall into Jiang Xia's stomach."
"The poison won't take effect immediately. By the time they notice, it will be too late. The next day, there will be explosive news like 'The murderer's identity is exposed, she poisoned the famous detective and died together!'
"The place where the famous detective Jiang Xia died will surely attract many people to come and interview and commemorate. Haha, maybe it can become a tourist attraction in Tokyo in the future."
…
Haitang Yangtai had already started counting the ticket money in his mind.
While he was daydreaming, in the reflection of the fireproof cabinet opposite, the figure in black finally entered the study as he wished.
Haitang Yangtai hurriedly walked out from the corner and quietly closed the door. The door hinges, which had been lubricated beforehand, made no sound.
After the door separated the inside and the outside, Matsuda Jinping pushed up his sunglasses, turned his head to look at the closed door, and then looked at Haitang Chizuru who was applying a facial mask in front of him.
After a moment, he placed the invitation in his hand on the table and left silently.
…
A few minutes later, Haitang Qianhe took off her mask, stood up from the recliner, and stretched leisurely.
"Huh? When was the door closed?" She was a little confused, but soon thought that she had forgotten about it and didn't pay much attention to it.
She fiddled around in the room for a while, then changed into her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Corner of corridor.
Haitang Yangtai, who was standing there, was stunned for a moment: "..." What happened? What happened to the long talk we agreed to have? Why did this woman go to the bathroom to take a bath like before?
A famous detective, is he not as good as taking a bath?
He vaguely felt that something was wrong and hesitated for a moment. Haitang Yangtai pretended to deliver something, came to the door of the study and pushed it open.
At a quick glance, the room was empty and there was no sign of Jiang Xia at all.
Haitang Yangtai: “?”
Where are the people?
He saw with his own eyes such a big man enter the house, how could he disappear?
"Could it be that that yellow-faced woman made him feel uncomfortable, so he jumped out of the window and ran away?" Haitang Yangtai muttered to himself as he walked to the bookcase, opened the door and took a look inside without giving up.
