Chapter 2288 2300 [Enhanced Vodka]
After pondering Uzo's sinister thoughts in his mind, Vodka stretched tiredly and got out of bed to wash up.
He went to the bathroom, looked at his uncovered face in the mirror, and was silent for a moment.
Vodka: “…” I heard that cosmetics can cover dark circles. How about getting a bottle and carrying it with you?
Well... in this regard, Vermouth should be an expert. I'll ask her when I have time.
…
After washing up, Vodka stayed behind the door for a while.
When he heard other people outside going out one after another and the two female high school students started chatting with Jiang Xia, he took the opportunity to open the door, pretending to have just woken up, and walked out to blend in with them - this way he didn't have to face Wu Zo alone.
Just as he was thinking happily, Jiang Xia suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Vodka: “!”
What are you looking at? It's okay for me to get up later than others!
He cursed a few words in his heart, then gave the high school students a friendly smile and silently joined the team.
Conan looked at his smile and got goosebumps all over his body: "..." This guy is really going to do something big by being so attentive for no reason!
The three high school students didn't seem to think too much about it. They nodded and greeted the shy assistant, then turned around and continued to talk about their own things.
"Did you hear it?" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes were dark blue, and she sighed, "Last night, around two or three in the morning, I got up to go to the bathroom, and suddenly I heard a strange noise."
When Mao Lilan heard this beginning, she shuddered and hugged herself tightly: "Don't tell ghost stories!"
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands and comforted the student who was afraid of ghosts: "It's not a ghost story, it's about that Ms. Haitang - I followed the sound to the window last night and looked at the villa next door. I actually saw her standing in the study, wearing a bathrobe, looking up at the French window and laughing. She looked very happy."
Mao Lilan thought about the scene and found it very strange, but it seemed understandable: "Is it because she thought of a wonderful plot?" As a writer, it seems normal to have some quirks.
Suzuki Sonoko shrugged: "I don't know, but it's scary. Fortunately, they live in this kind of independent villa, otherwise they will definitely be complained about."
While chatting, they went out to the villa next door to have breakfast.
However, when they reached the gate and looked inside, they stopped in their tracks.
"Not open?"
The entrance to the villa was a row of glass sliding doors. At this time, the sliding doors were locked, and the curtains on the inside were also drawn, as if the house was closed to visitors.
"Are they still not up?" Suzuki Sonoko yawned, "If I had known, I would have slept a little longer."
But Vodka thought it was not that simple. He glanced inside the door, then suddenly stopped and stared under the curtains.
In the narrow gap between the curtain and the ground, a row of round fingertips were vaguely visible - there was a hand lying there, and behind it was a corpse hidden by the curtain.
Vodka: “?!!”
Conan was secretly observing him. Noticing the change in Vodka's attention, he immediately looked over.
Relying on his short height, Conan clearly saw the hand lying on the door. His heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, "There's a person lying behind the door!"
"!!" Mao Lilan was so scared that she almost kicked the door open.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled at first, then looked towards the door with fear and curiosity: "Where is it? Where is it?"
The fake detective showed the reaction he should have. Jiang Xia went forward and rang the doorbell, but no one in the house answered him. He sighed and said, "We can only break in and take a look. Mr. Yamada, let's break the door down together."
Conan: "..." This guy Vodka is indeed gradually gaining Jiang Xia's trust.
Vodka: "..." What does this guy want to do? Is he going to let me leave traces when I hit the door, and then when the police come, he will use those clues to make me unable to defend myself?
He wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Although I know that the unfortunate person on the other side of the glass door is probably in critical condition, from the perspective of a 'concerned citizen', there is only one thing I should know now - that is, there is a person lying at the door, and he or she is likely to have an acute illness and needs rescue."
Vodka's mind worked ten times faster than when he was with Gin: "If I refuse, I will appear guilty or cold-blooded, which is dangerous! Besides, it was Uzo who suggested that I bang the door. If I refuse him and something happens, he can easily get away with it."
The idea came to fruition, and Vodka took a detour to say: "...Okay!"
…
Under Conan's vigilant gaze, the two men opened the door and rushed into the living room.
When I turned around, I saw the young female assistant lying face down on the ground, her body already somewhat stiff.
"He should have died last night." Jiang Xia squatted down to take a look at the situation, and suddenly looked at Vodka, "I remember you know something about medicine? What do you think?"
Vodka glanced at the corpse and was about to say something, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
He braked in a panic: "...I am just an ordinary person who likes programs and codes. I don't know much about corpses. I only have some knowledge from hearsay."
Vodka: "..." He actually tried to trick me! He first used the incident of knocking on the door to make me subconsciously feel that I shouldn't go against him, and then suddenly used a question to trap me. Ha, I really can't relax for a moment next to this guy!
He looked warily at the scheming high school student opposite him, and saw Jiang Xia nodded regretfully: "You got it wrong. The one studying medicine is my other assistant."
Vodka: "..." Wait, what do you mean by "another"? When did I become your assistant? I am obviously Gin's assistant, you really want to usurp the throne!
Although some assistants were not very cooperative, the generous detective still forgave him. Jiang Xia took a quick look at the body and said, "No external injuries have been found so far. It looks like sudden death or poisoning."
Suzuki Sonoko squatted beside him and looked at a beautiful blue cup on the ground. "I think it looks like poisoning. Judging from the position where the cup fell, it should have been held in the hand of the deceased!"
Jiang Xia nodded with relief. This was much more dedicated than his other assistants. "Don't touch the cup. Call the police first. I'll tell the other two owners of the house... Come to think of it, it's a little strange that they haven't gotten up yet so late."
He didn't have to worry about calling the police. After entering the house and hearing that someone had died, Mao Lilan had already consciously dialed the number nearby. Now, this female high school student was communicating with the police in a low voice that would not disturb Jiang Xia.
