Chapter 2326 2338 [Meet the Villa Destroyer Again]
After a pause, Hattori Heiji suddenly thought of something. He chuckled and became confident again:
"Although we are imposters, you must be imposters too. Look at the guilty look on the face of your consortium's daughter just now - how about this, everyone keep each other's secrets and are not allowed to reveal each other's real information!"
Conan: “…” Childish, we had no intention of leaking it.
Jiang Xia: "If you speak louder, everyone can get off the bus now."
Hattori Heiji: "..."
He cleared his throat, lowered his voice uncomfortably, and put on the big mask again: "Anyway, my name is Shumura Shinsuke now, and I'm a reporter. Don't call me by the wrong name when the time comes."
Yuanshan Heye also came over with great interest and introduced herself to Jiang Xia in a serious manner: "And me! My name is 'Hexi Sayuri', and I'm the assistant of this reporter."
Jiang Xia nodded: "The name of the inviter on my letter of authorization is 'Kaibu Shigeru'."... Although he felt that it would be exposed sooner or later and it didn't matter what name was used, since the two Osaka friends were so engrossed in the fun, it was difficult for him to interrupt.
"Everyone should be here." In front of the bus, the tour guide flipped through the handbook and thought that not only was everyone here, but there seemed to be a few extras.
But anyway, the car was spacious enough, there were enough empty rooms in the Sad Love Lake Resort, and the organizer was wealthy and didn't mind paying for a few more meals, so he didn't say anything and just started to go through the process conscientiously.
"I will be your guide for the rest of the trip." The tour guide introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Kujo Shotaro, and I'm a tour guide for Mizuki Travel Agency. Please give me your guidance over the next few days."
…
In addition to the two groups of high school students who came here from Tokyo and Osaka, there were some other experiencers in the car.
——They were a silver-haired old man, a couple with a huge age difference, the college student that Suzuki Sonoko knew, and a strange man sitting alone in the corner with a heavy backpack on his back.
On the way Jiang Xia and Conan were returning from Hattori Heiji's place, Conan looked at the strange man several times.
When he got to his seat, he couldn't help but whisper to Jiang Xia: "Although that man has a scarf wrapped around his face, bruises can still be seen on the edges. Also, his sitting posture is a bit weird, as if he has injuries on his body, and..."
Jiang Xia continued, "Also, there were some scratches on the surface of his backpack, which looked like it had been thrown on the mud. Plus, he acted a little strange when he saw us getting on the car, and the timing was a coincidence... He might be the mysterious man in the forest who was knocked unconscious by Dr. Shinde and then hit by Mr. Yamada last night."
Vermouth, who was listening quietly, interrupted with a twitching eye, "Well, he wasn't knocked out. He tripped and knocked himself out when I dodged."
Vodka, who was eavesdropping in the back seat, said: "..." Can't you just mention Vermouth? Why do you have to include me?
Fortunately, he soon discovered that everyone's attention was not on him and Vermouth for the time being - after all, compared to these two suspicious but often present people, the strange man in the corner who was suspected to be a "villa vandal" seemed more threatening at this time.
Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko secretly glanced over there through the gap between the seats, but due to the obstruction of other chair backs, they could not see the guy that Conan and Jiang Xia were talking about.
This made the two even more nervous. Mao Lilan instinctively grabbed the phone and whispered, "Should we call the police?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "The passenger in the car is just 'possibly' that person, but there is no evidence - Conan and I's speculation just now is just a guess after all. Or maybe he is just an ordinary camping enthusiast, and the injuries on his body were caused by his slipping and falling. This possibility is even higher than 'he is the villa vandal'."
Conan agreed with this: "To put it another way, even if he is really the vandal, the police can't do anything without any evidence..."
He had just started talking excitedly when someone next to him interrupted him.
"Doctor Shinde" continued with great interest, "Indeed. I heard that the vandal committed crimes very efficiently and rarely left traces, so he was able to escape until now. It is unlikely that there is any evidence in his backpack. It is likely that there are only some ordinary tools that have been cleaned long ago."
Conan: "......?" What does this guy want to do? Why is he stealing my lines? Is it because he thinks Xiaolan likes people who are good at reasoning, so he wants to show off his reasoning talent in front of the high school girl?
He silently despised this annoying school doctor, and a second later, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Conan broke out in a cold sweat: "..." Oh no, there were two unidentified suspicious persons sitting next to him, and he was so obsessed with the reasoning of the "villa vandal" that he forgot to conceal his identity as a child!
He scratched his head quickly, put aside his previous grudges and laughed: "So that's how it is, Mr. Arata is really amazing!"
Vermouth had a headache: “…” This kid’s acting skills… I wish he could be as good as Uzo’s.
She kept smiling and tried her best to help Conan get back on track, while glancing at Vodka out of the corner of her eye, hoping that this guy didn't notice anything.
Then Vodka looked at Conan and Jiang Xia, then at Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran, looking thoughtful.
Vermouth: “……?”
…
Vodka did not participate in the discussion, but just listened silently: "..." They sang the same tune and actually forced to keep the important actors... With such obvious manipulation, doesn't anyone doubt the motives of Uzo and that little bitch?
He looked left and right and found that Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran had no doubts at all and didn't think anything was wrong. He couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
He was praying in his heart that a smart guy would come and see through Uzo's trick, but at this moment, Vodka suddenly felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by some terrible poisonous snake.
He suddenly became alert, and following his intuition, he raised his head and met Vermouth's gaze.
Vodka: “…” What, what are you doing?
Why is the look in this woman's eyes a bit scary? At first glance, it seems very harmonious, but upon closer inspection, it looks like she wants to stab me... Could it be that she knows what I'm thinking? !
"But even if Vermouth knew that I was praying for Uzo to suffer, why did she have this attitude? As a fellow Uzo victim, shouldn't she join me in praying devoutly?"
As Vodka was thinking, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Could it be... Could it be that she and Wu Zuo have been having an affair without my knowledge?!"
