Chapter 2318: 2330 [Belmode was attacked by surprise]
Vermouth never imagined that one day she would have to try every possible means to figure out what vodka was.
She was sighing a little, but suddenly her ears moved and she vaguely heard the rustling of grass leaves.
——There is someone behind me!
From the direction and frequency of the sound, one can easily determine the opponent's position and speed. Vermouth dodged the attack and kicked the man on the knee while grabbing his shoulders and throwing him to the ground.
This combo was a little awkward because Vermouth forcibly omitted the action of drawing her gun. She knocked the man down and was about to check who it was, but before she could see anything clearly, a sharp child's scream suddenly rang out and pierced her ears.
—— Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was squatting quietly in the bushes, but he suddenly heard a fight nearby. He looked out tremblingly, and saw two dark figures, one standing and the other lying.
“?!”
As an elementary school student with more case experience than many adults, in an instant, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya felt that he understood everything.
"Murder! Murder!" The child, who had experienced too much, stood up in collapse and tried to crawl away from the "murder scene", but he slipped, tripped over a tree root, and fell to the ground in a mess.
Vermouth, who was a few steps away, said: "..."
You should look carefully before you shout. I am the poor one who was attacked!
Someone who saw her take action screamed loudly in the quiet woods. Vermouth instinctively took two steps forward, her DNA ready to silence her.
Fortunately, her reason soon told her: it was not a big problem. It was not difficult to fool a primary school student. Besides, she was the one who was attacked and had the right to do so.
Vermouth calmed herself down and gave a gentle smile with the face of "Dr. Shinichi".
She was about to explain, but at this moment, a creepy sense of crisis suddenly hit her.
"Mitsuhiko, run!" Conan was attracted by the scream of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and came to the sound. At the same time as his voice, he arrived with a broken iron kettle that he had brought from somewhere.
The round body of the pot broke through the air, and a sharp and long whistle was made due to its extremely fast speed. Vermouth instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and she leaned up with a force that almost broke her back. The next moment, the hot air flow brushed past her nose and hit the tree behind her with a bang.
The tree, as thick as a bowl, creaked, broke in the middle, and fell to the ground with a wail.
"Wow, Conan, I will never call you brother Jiang Xia's lackey behind your back again." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was shocked by his little friend's fighting ability. He wiped away his tears in emotion, got up in a panic, and ran away in a hurry.
Conan: "..." Wait, what are you calling me?
While cursing the naughty kid in his heart, he looked around, wanting to kick something over to buy Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya some time to run away.
Seeing this, Vermouth quickly said, "Conan, it's me."
As soon as the voice of "Dr. Shindo" sounded, Conan relied on his excellent memory to match the person with the voice.
Conan: "..." The guy who hid in the woods and attacked Mitsuhiko late at night turned out to be the school doctor of Teitan Junior High School, the doctor Arata who would soon play opposite Xiaolan in the stage play?
...There must be something fishy about this person!
"I remember that the occupancy rate in this area is very low. This means that the newly-appointed doctor in front of me is likely to have come from the villa where Vodka is... Is he also a member of the Black Organization?"
Conan was alert, and at the same time, another thought flashed through his mind: "If I kick him over and hit him accurately... won't he be able to make it to the school festival?"
At this moment, Conan's desire to take action reached its peak.
Conan: “…” Of course, this has nothing to do with whether Mr. Shinde is the male lead of the stage play. The main thing is that he has long felt that this teacher is very suspicious, and now this person has extended a vicious hand to Mitsuhiko... In any case, he will kick him down first and then ask.
Conan thought about it and finally found a piece of heavy wood. He pretended to be dealing with "Dr. Shinde" and quietly moved towards the wood with a smile.
Just as he was about to restart his foot-strengthening shoes and deliver another flying kick, the back of his collar suddenly tightened and a hand lifted him up from behind.
Conan: “?!!”
Damn, his attention was all on Dr. Shinde, and he actually overlooked the fatal backstage... Come to think of it, the last time he was killed by Gin and Vodka in the amusement park, it was a similar situation. These guys in the black organization obviously have overwhelming force, but they like to sneak attack from behind and make a feint to the east while attacking in the west! How insidious and shameless, and extremely cunning!
Conan cursed in his heart while trying to save himself with cold sweat on his forehead. He raised his hand suddenly, flipped his watch back, and an anesthetic needle flew out.
——As long as this shot hits, the person behind him will fall asleep without any resistance. Then he just needs to kick out the wood to knock out Dr. Arata and he can escape successfully!
Conan clenched his fists excitedly, but unlike what he expected, this sudden sneak attack did not have the desired effect - the ruthless iron hand that was holding him just gently pulled him to the side, and the anesthetic needle whooshed past its original target and flew towards a burly man in black who was following the target.
Hiding behind and peeking at Uzo's vodka as he drank from the kid: "?!!"
…
A few minutes ago.
In the villa.
Vodka Hard single-handedly formed an "Alliance to Deal with Forest Shadows".
The idea of "a sneak attacker hiding in the night and shooting poison needles" sounded full of evil. Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran acted decisively, knocked on Jiang Xia's bedroom door, and pulled the reliable detective into the picture as well.
Jiang Xia really looked like he was catching up on some sleep. The well-rested detective yawned, thought for a moment and said, "Let's call the police first."
Mao Lilan raised her hand and whispered, "There is no signal on the mobile phone. The landline in the villa is broken for some reason, and I can't make a call."
——Obviously, as the person who made the most calls to the police in Tokyo, Mao Lilan had already tried to call the police when she heard that Vodka was attacked, but unfortunately it didn't work.
This saved a lot of trouble, so Jiang Xia stopped walking towards the phone. He thought for a while and said, "How about this, let's go out and check the situation - it's best to catch the criminal hiding in the dark on the spot while everyone is still awake. Otherwise, if he knocks on the door and attacks us after we fall asleep, the situation will be too dangerous."
"Going out to arrest someone..."
The two high school girls turned their heads and glanced out the window, feeling a little scared at the foggy night.
But then I thought: a criminal with poison needles on his hands sneaked into the room after they fell asleep and shot a big friend with one needle...
"Okay!" Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fist, "Let's go out and catch that guy!"
