Chapter 2347 2359 [Bourbon Suffers]
In the middle of the night, everything is quiet.
“Bang, crunch—”
“Bang, crunch—”
The dull sound of impact and the strange rough sound of grinding after the collision sounded faintly under Vermouth's bed.
Vermouth opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "..."
...What the hell is that bastard Vodka doing downstairs?!
Or what on earth did Uzo have his actors mess around with in the Vodka Room?!
The veins on the back of Vermouth's hands bulged, and she almost crushed the edge of the quilt. For a moment, she wanted to punch through the floor, jump down to see what was going on downstairs, and then pack up all these bastards who disturbed her sleep and sink them into the lake.
But in the end, her frighteningly powerful reason stopped her.
“Calm down, it’s just a matter of getting less sleep.” Vermouth closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. “According to the tour guide, the travel agency’s bus will come to pick us up in two days at most. That means after tonight, I only need to endure another day or two at most to be free.”
"One or two days, plus tonight, that's three days... three days, or I'll go downstairs and kill..."
His thoughts wandered off for a moment, but he was quickly pulled back by Vermouth: "It's only three days. Don't I usually stay up all night long? Just bear with it and it will pass."
"As for now..."
Vermouth looked at the current situation and fell silent for a moment.
This strange knocking sound came much earlier tonight than last night.
Today is earlier than yesterday. If tomorrow is earlier than today, and the day after tomorrow is earlier than tomorrow... She would have to stay up all night like this, and even if she was used to staying up late, it would be difficult for her to guarantee that she would leave the island alive.
But if you ignore the sound and go to sleep, you may become a victim of this strange mechanism in your sleep because you are not alert enough.
"Forget it, let's endure it for another day while we are still energetic."
Vermouth finally made a decision. She moved her body, changing into a position that would allow her to stand up at any time to deal with any crisis, then wrapped herself in the quilt and yawned in exhaustion.
"Be optimistic. If Vodka dies tonight, there won't be any strange noises tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
The image of Jiang Xia appeared in Vermouth's mind: "I hope Wuzo can succeed soon... But if Vodka dies, will I be his next target?"
A mess of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Vermouth sighed softly. For some reason, she suddenly remembered Bourbon and his slightly thin face after he returned from his trip.
"I think I laughed at him at that time." Vermouth put her hand on her forehead, feeling complicated for a moment. "It's really a matter of time. I don't want to go out with Uzo anymore."
"But it seems that this is not something I can decide. That guy must have seen that I care about Angel and Cool Guy, so he always uses them to tempt or threaten me to go out."
Thinking of the two lovely children, Vermouth fell into a sweet trouble: "Since I can't avoid it, I have to think of other ways... How about bringing a few more people next time to distract Uzo's attention from me?
“For example, if Bourbon was here, it might have been his floor that got hit.
"But correspondingly, the more people I bring, the greater the threat they pose to me. And if the people I bring are too useless and not worthy of Wuzo's eyes, then they won't be of any use... Tsk, isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
In the silence of the night, Vermouth listened to the annoying thudding sound and fell into deep thought.
…
Early the next morning.
Vodka got up refreshed. His complexion looked much better than yesterday, and the bruises under his eyes had faded.
He ate the sealed cans hidden in the room in a good mood, and then went to the living room to pretend to have breakfast. As soon as he arrived, he was startled by a sinister murderous intent.
Vodka looked up suddenly and saw "Doctor Shindou" looking away as if nothing had happened.
Vodka: “…”
……illusion?
As they were both wanderers, there was no need for Vermouth to be so hostile towards him.
While comforting himself, Vodka couldn't help but become a little more wary of Vermouth.
…
When the cadres of the two organizations are wary of each other.
Next to them, high school students were discussing serious matters.
Yuanshan Heye looked out the window and said, "The trees here all look the same. I wonder if that senior Yuanye has found the hotel successfully... I hope he's not lost."
Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin and said, "I seem to have heard that he has participated in some off-road activities. He should have some experience."
Mao Lilan thought of the two previous murders and lost her appetite immediately: "It would be great if the villa vandal could be caught earlier. That person's killing method is too cruel."
Hattori Heiji took a bite of toast and whispered to Jiang Xia: "Do you think the murderer was really that 'villa vandal'?"
Jiang Xia: "Probably not."
Hattori Heiji, who was about to propose a subversive new idea: "..."
Conan: “…” Haha, he actually used this kind of sentence structure to ask Jiang Xia questions. It’s still too late to solve the case with him.
Hattori Heiji was silent for a moment in awkward silence, and then he continued his words as if nothing had happened: "Well, I don't think so either - the 'villa vandal' in the news doesn't often move around in this area, but this time the murderer was able to accurately burn the suspension bridge and trap us all in the camp.
"In addition, a wanted criminal on the run would lack food the most. But the murderer clearly stuffed the second victim's body into the refrigerator and knew where the refrigerator was, but he didn't take anything out of it.
"The same goes for the deceased's suitcase, which was full of money. Such a suitcase should be an irresistible temptation for an outlaw, but the murderer didn't even look at it and was only concerned with destroying it in the living room - what do you think this shows?"
Suzuki Sonoko: "This shows that the murderer is a careless pervert, and the pleasure of killing is greater than his need for food!"
"Humph, stupid!" Hattori Heiji regained some confidence from the high school girl. "This shows that things are not as simple as we think. The two murders this time are definitely not just the impulsive behavior of the villa vandal. He must have a clear purpose, but we don't know that purpose yet."
Suzuki Sonoko pondered these words carefully.
Then he rolled his eyes without giving any face: "It's the same as not saying anything."
"?" Hattori Heiji, "How can this be the same as if nothing had been said? This is clearly a phased progress!"
Suzuki Sonoko recalled Jiang Xia's usual process of solving cases and asked simply, "So, who is the murderer? Where is he now? What does he want to do? When can we catch him?"
Hattori Heiji: "..."
