Chapter 2338 2350 [Survival Manual]
The real estate tycoon's body was so badly damaged that it was unsightly. The rich lady took a glance at it and was shocked.
Jiang Xia looked down at the body, then at the suitcase that had fallen beside the body, and asked the lady, "This looks like your husband's stuff?"
Mrs. Fu nodded and choked up, "He always carries these things with him every time he goes out. He doesn't mind the weight. He even says that a heavier suitcase is better so that he can swing it to protect himself at a critical moment..."
Unfortunately, it now seems that this self-protection was of no avail - from the intact shell of the suitcase, it can be seen that the unfortunate rich businessman was killed by an axe and had no chance to swing the suitcase to hit anyone.
"What on earth is in here?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but become curious when he heard what the rich lady said.
He squatted down, pressed the lock, and the lid popped open with a click.
The contents of the suitcase were immediately revealed to everyone, causing them to gasp - it was a whole box of cash! On top of the cash were bank cards and credit cards, as well as a seal belonging to the deceased.
Vodka usually trades with various suitcases and briefcases. He estimated the amount of money in this box with a quick glance. He sighed: "..." Is this the money I got for selling my body this time? Isn't this a little too little?
"Why does he carry so much cash with him?" Hattori Heiji was also stunned. Looking at this suitcase that is often used for illegal transactions and bribes, his detective DNA surged wildly, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You guys didn't come here to conduct illegal transactions under the guise of experiencing a vacation, did you?"
The rich lady covered her face, not daring to look at the corpse. "How should I know this? He would hide even a coin where I can't see it. No wonder he was always so sneaky when opening the box, and refused to let me see what was inside..."
No one cared at this point how stingy the deceased was.
Compared to these, there are obviously other things that are more out of place. Hattori Heiji closed the heavy cash box and muttered: "The murderer didn't touch the things in the box at all. I don't know if he didn't have time to check or was only interested in killing people."
Jiang Xia walked around the dead man and reopened the refrigerator door. He looked at the blood-stained door frame and then at the other shelves that were not stuffed with bodies: "There's food missing, too."
"That's bad." The "new doctor" suppressed the urge to yawn and worked tiredly. "A wanted criminal who fled to the mountains and lacked food and clothing, it's okay that he doesn't want money, but he doesn't even need water. This is really weird."
Vodka looked at her in surprise, suspicious in his heart: "..."Is Vermouth a little abnormal these two days? Everyone knows Uzo, and should know how important it is to keep a low profile around this guy, but this woman...why is she always showing off recently?
"Is this some kind of courtship method because she was bewitched by Uzo? Or has Vermouth gained a new understanding of 'keeping her life near Uzo' and is now practicing it?
Vodka's heart beat fast when he thought about the unknown theories that appeared in "The Art of Oozo Defense" that he didn't know about.
However, soon, reason calmed him down again: "... Calm down, don't try to learn everything you see. Maybe this is just a bait set by Vermouth and Uzo to trick me, or maybe this method may not work. Anyway, let's observe first - it's rare for Vermouth to test the waters in front, so of course I have to wait behind and reap the benefits!"
“By the way, I always feel that Vermouth is a little dazed, as if she didn’t get enough rest… Could this be a symptom of her mind being further affected by Uzo?”
Vodka nodded thoughtfully, adding new knowledge that needed to be verified into his knowledge base.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and felt like something was staring at him.
"?!" Vodka suddenly looked up and met Jiang Xia's gaze.
Jiang Xia seemed very satisfied with the enthusiasm of "Dr. Shinde". He looked at him again and said, "Mr. Yamada, what do you think?"
Vodka: “…”
He thought about it seriously and said hesitantly: "How about...having breakfast first?"
Conan, who was looking at him warily: "..."
…
“This is actually a very good suggestion.”
A few minutes later, Jiang Xia ate freshly baked toast and praised Vodka: "In the face of various accidents, maintaining sufficient physical strength is the only way to deal with various emergencies."
Vodka: “…” Now that you say that, I don’t dare to eat it anymore.
Next to him, Conan stole a glance at the organization cadre: "..." Faced with two bloody cases in succession, the result was to eat first? - Oh, this guy Vodka must be trying to pretend to be honest in this way, so as to let Jiang Xia relax his vigilance and deceive Jiang Xia's trust.
Although Hattori Heiji also learned about Vodka's identity from Conan, the big guy with sunglasses was always very low-key and non-aggressive. In addition, it was not Hattori Heiji who was hit on the head from behind. Therefore, the Osaka detective's attention has gradually shifted from Vodka to the brutal serial murders.
"What is the murderer's purpose?" Hattori Heiji picked up a piece of sizzling steak and took a bite thoughtfully, "I always feel that many things are inconsistent..."
Between the two of them, Toyama Kazuha looked at Jiang Xia who was chewing toast on her left, and then looked at Hattori Heiji who was muttering while chewing meat on her right, with a complicated expression.
After a moment, she took a deep breath, and with a distorted expression, she swallowed the bread in front of her in one gulp.
Suzuki Sonoko glanced at her, somewhat surprised: "What's wrong? Is your bread very bad?" Why did she look as if she was ready to die?
Yuanshan Heye grabbed the water cup and gulped down the bread that was choking him. "I, I just suddenly remembered that these foods were taken out of the refrigerator, and there was a body in the refrigerator just now..."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
Mao Lilan: “…”
The two Tokyo high school girls belatedly stopped eating with their forks, stared at the plates in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt that the sumptuous breakfast in front of them was no longer delicious.
"Eat it. They are all sealed and not in the same layer. There shouldn't be any problem." Jiang Xia said as he raised his head and saw three female classmates with pale faces.
Jiang Xia: “…”
He paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "If you really don't want to eat, then we can go to the lake and catch some fish for barbecue later - when I passed by there before, I saw a lot of edible fish in the lake."
"Catch fish? Barbecue?" Hearing these two interesting words, the three listless female classmates sat up straight immediately, "Let's go, we'll go now!"
