Chapter 2331 2343 [Death Messenger]
Vodka was thinking seriously when he suddenly heard a sneer.
His ears twitched, and he looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the middle-aged man who seemed to be a villa vandal continued: "But from common sense, this holiday villa has food, drinks, and a place to stay. Maybe the suspect will come here after escaping from the nearby police station."
"What?!" The other participants were not interested in this kind of thing, but they could not sit still after hearing this. The originally harmonious and relaxed atmosphere in the living room suddenly sank, and several people said anxiously, "Such a cruel guy... What if he really sneaks in here?"
"What can we do? Of course we have to catch him and hand him over to the police. Isn't there a famous detective here?" The middle-aged man pointed at Jiang Xia, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "If you are afraid, why not ask this Tokyo crime nemesis to take action? As a great detective, it will be easy for him to catch a petty thief."
Suzuki Sonoko took a sip of juice and whispered to two classmates: "Although it sounds like he is praising someone, I don't know why, but I always feel that he is sarcastic."
Jiang Xia: "..." Maybe it's because he was really being sarcastic. After all, judging from the murderous aura on his body, this should be the bold villa vandal.
The others didn't pay much attention to the details. The rich lady was a little nervous at first, but she calmed down after hearing this: "Yes, we have a lot of people and Jiang Xia is here, so it won't be a problem to deal with a mere thief."
The middle-aged man who was waiting for others to tremble: "..."
He looked at this idiot who didn't understand the subtext, and the sarcastic smile on his lips faded, and his voice became cold: "Little thief? He was a villa destroyer who wiped out an entire family - I hope this green detective doesn't die tragically when he meets him. Haha, if you ask me, the safest way is to give up and leave here, unless you think the reward this time is more important than your life."
Several high school students: "..."
He was just being sarcastic just now, but now his attitude became much clearer.
Suzuki Sonoko gulped down a mouthful of juice and was about to get angry, but before she could do that, there was a loud bang next to her and someone slammed the table and stood up.
"What do you mean by immature?" Hattori Heiji said with great empathy, "Don't underestimate high school detectives! We... ahem, the high school detectives I know have a higher crime-solving rate than most adults!"
"Huh, really?" Kurata Sou spread his hands indifferently, "In that case, I'll leave the fugitive to you - it's getting late, I have to go back to the house first."
He took a bottle of beer, opened it with a bang, drank it while pushing the door open, and walked happily to another villa nearby. That was the room assigned to him.
When turning around to close the door, Soichi Kurata glanced back inadvertently and was suddenly stunned.
——The taciturn big guy in sunglasses was looking at him through his sunglasses for some reason.
The two sides looked at each other, and the sturdy man in sunglasses silently looked away. The next moment, the wooden door clicked shut, completely isolating the vision of both sides.
"This guy...what's that expression?!" Kurata Soichi frowned. He recalled the expression of the man in sunglasses just now, and felt a chill down his spine. He had the illusion that he had overlooked something key.
According to his usual behavior, he should have kicked the door open, punched the man twice, and said "What are you looking at!", but this time...
"Forget it, the overall situation is more important." Kurata Soichi clenched his fists, "It's not because that guy is strong and looks like he can fight, but my current situation is not suitable for fighting. We can settle this account in two days."
"Come to think of it, why are you wearing sunglasses at night? Can you see the road clearly? You're crazy."
Soichi Kurata left cursing.
After taking a few steps, he remembered the wanted news on the radio, and his mood improved again.
"I hid well and was never followed by the police. I don't know who those idiots mistook for me and even issued a wanted notice - haha, go ahead and catch him! It would be best if we could kill that 'villa vandal' on the spot, so that I can be an innocent citizen again.
“With that scapegoat here, I don’t have to worry about the police chasing me these days, and I can stay here peacefully… The organizer only awards two lifetime membership coupons to those who experience it, and this thing is worth a lot of money. I have to find a way to get the others away.
"Tsk, if that detective wasn't here, maybe a few people would have been scared away just now, what a pity.
"...But think about it the other way around, if the famous detective they regarded as the pillar of the organization suddenly died, the others would probably be scared to death and run away immediately.
"Not bad, not bad. Anyway, now there is another 'villa vandal' to take the blame. I can do what I want without any worries. I really hope that guy will never be caught. This breath of freedom is really wonderful!"
…
In the villa.
The others were unaware of his sinister plan and were still continuing the party in the house. However, everyone's mood was still affected by the news just now, and they gradually lost their appetite.
"It's really getting late, let's go to sleep." The tour guide looked at his watch. "As for that villa vandal... the road leading to the resort is actually very hidden. If I hadn't read it in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found the place at all. That person might not have come to our side."
"That's right." The rich lady obviously didn't want to give up the lifetime membership voucher for the resort. She drank the wine at the bottom of her glass and agreed to continue the vacation experience. "Then take a rest first. You can take a good look around this beautiful resort after you have recovered your spirit."
After the welcome party, everyone picked up their luggage and returned to their assigned rooms.
Some people originally thought that they would suffer from insomnia, but in this place without internet access, they couldn't check their phones before going to bed, so everyone fell asleep soon, some even earlier than usual.
The moon rose and set, and soon the sky became bright again.
The high school students, who had gotten enough sleep, walked out of the house, stretched... and suddenly saw a haggard face.
Yuanshan Heye was stunned for a moment, then looked at Vodka and said, "Hey, Mr. Yamada, are you okay?" The dark circles under his eyes were so thick that even his sunglasses could hardly cover them... He was really afraid of that villa vandal.
Hattori Heiji glanced at Vodka secretly and pulled her aside: Conan had reminded him last night that he must be careful of this guy wearing sunglasses.
"Although I don't see how this guy is threatening, anyway, Kudo's miniature appearance is a lesson for us."
Hattori Heiji had absolutely no intention of following in the footsteps of his classmate from Tokyo, so he was now doubly wary of vodka.
