Chapter 2341 2353 [Murder]
However, no matter what I thought in my heart, reason eventually prevailed.
Vermouth silently moved her hand away from the gun, and ignored the guy hiding behind the tree, and just walked past - everyone who knew Uzo knew that the safest way to stay around this guy was to be an ordinary good citizen.
“Are evil and justice also conserved?” Whenever Vermouth thought of this default “Uzo Prevention Code”, she couldn’t help but feel ironic. “In the face of purer evil, the way to protect yourself is to move closer to justice and rules… This is really ridiculous.”
Feelings aside, useful rules still need to be used.
The organization cadre sighed and walked around here, going to where Mao Lilan was. Now it seems that for a naive high school student, this forest is far more dangerous than she imagined. Just now, she just quietly went to see if there was a chance to kill Vodka, and when she turned around, something happened to Angel...
"Perhaps this is some kind of warning from Uzo." Vermouth thought of the figure fishing quietly by the lake, and felt a little scared. "Anyway, from now on, I'd better give up some impulsive actions. It's safest to stay with Angel."
…
The dark figure's reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities are obviously not comparable to Vermouth's.
"Doctor Shinchu" had already walked around him and went a long way, but the dark figure was still standing there, wondering why he had clearly heard footsteps but didn't see anyone.
“Maybe I really am hallucinating.”
After searching for a long time, the dark figure finally chose to reconcile with himself. He quickly found a reasonable explanation: "I have been very busy these past few days, and the presence of the detective has indeed brought me a lot of pressure. Although Jiang Xia is a man of few words, I always feel that he knows everything. Sometimes when I meet his gaze, I actually have the illusion that he has seen through everything..."
As he thought about it, he felt the pressure on his body grow visibly again. The dark figure quickly comforted himself: "Of course, this must be just an illusion. I was just influenced by his fame, so I had this idea - Okay, stop thinking about it, we have to get down to business!"
The dark figure gathered his scattered attention and started looking for his next target.
After wandering in the forest for a while, he finally found another lone guy.
——The "Mr. Yamada" with sunglasses and a strong physique.
…
Vodka hurried to the lake, cursing in his heart: "..." That girl Vermouth, we agreed to go to the bathroom together, but she left early!
There are three urgent things in life. No matter how cautious vodka is, you don’t want to go home and wash your pants at night.
Therefore, more than ten minutes ago, after staying by the lake for a while, he could only wonder if Uzo had given him a laxative while putting aside his pride and trying to find someone to accompany him back to the villa - at this time, acting alone was simply asking for trouble.
However, who to find together is also a problem.
After thinking about it, Vodka first ruled out Uzo and his minions. The Osaka detective seemed to have a bad temper and might reject him. Vodka didn't want to embarrass himself, so he put Hattori Heiji at the back of the list.
The only ones left were three high school girls and Vermouth.
The pickers hadn't gone far at that time, and Vodka soon found them at the edge of the woods.
He looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who had inadvertently been an accomplice of Usa many times, and then looked at Toyama Kazuha, whose background he didn't know but seemed to have a good relationship with Jiang Xia. Finally, his eyes fell on Maori Ran.
——I’d rather choose this one, as it looks more conscientious.
Although it felt strange for an adult man to go to the bathroom with a high school girl, he could have made up an excuse, such as wanting to go back to the villa to get something but not knowing the way.
After quickly preparing his speech, Vodka walked forward as if nothing had happened, wanting to find someone for help.
But before he could open his mouth, "Doctor Shindo" seemed to have the same idea as him and came forward first.
…
"This woman has no sense of contract! We agreed to go back to the villa together and come back together, but she actually left me behind!"
Vodka mentally took a stab at this untrustworthy colleague, put away his useless grudge book, and headed for the crowded area, hoping to return to the main group as soon as possible.
-Although Uzo and his minions were hiding among that group, Uzo was a criminal who seemed to be very law-abiding. It was safer to stay with this little devil when there were onlookers than to drift alone in the woods.
…
“Closer, closer!”
The dark figure looked at Vodka who was hurrying on his way, then looked at the trap in the bushes in front of him, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips:
"This guy is so unlucky that he actually wandered into the area with the most traps alone. If I had known that this unlucky guy would step into the trap by himself, I wouldn't have had to take the risk of approaching those three high school girls just now."
As he sighed, he hid motionlessly behind the bushes, waiting for "Mr. Yamada" to fall into his trap.
Under his gaze, the burly man in black got closer and closer to his trap...
Then suddenly it stopped.
The dark figure: “……?”
There is only one step left, go ahead!
…
"This clump of grass looks a bit strange?" Vodka's vigilant eyes fell on the grass in front of him. "There is a little gap in the middle, as if there is something hollow on the ground blocking the grass... Wait, there must be a trap in here."
He wanted to go over and take a look, but he was worried that some cruel people had planted mines nearby.
After hesitating for 0.1 second, Vodka suppressed his curiosity, cautiously took two steps back, walked around there, and continued walking towards the lake.
After walking a few meters, he stopped again.
"Something seems wrong. Is there a taut fishing line across the two trees?"
Vodka pushed up his sunglasses, glanced forward from under the lenses, and his expression suddenly changed: "Sure enough! Who is so wicked as to set a trap here? - Fortunately, I have already analyzed the visual state of the fishing line under various light and various angles, and specially counted the most likely positions for the fishing line to appear, otherwise, I must have accidentally stepped on it by now!"
This astonishing discovery made Vodka break out in a cold sweat. The ordinary plants and trees around him were also suddenly filled with murderous intent.
"Vermouth has indeed betrayed me. She took the initiative to invite me back to the villa just now, just to cooperate with Uzo to set this trap for me!" Vodka had an urge to shout "Brother, help me!", but soon he realized sadly in his heart: If he wants to survive, he can only rely on himself.
