Chapter 2351 2363 [Siege]
After the false alarm, Jiang Xia and Hattori Heiji entered the small warehouse and quickly found a bag of flour.
Hattori Heiji picked at the heavy flour bag and said to Jiang Xia with lingering fear: "Do you think there is poison in it?"
Jiang Xia: "The packaging is complete, so there shouldn't be any."
Hattori Heiji looked at the flour suspiciously, but couldn't find any fault with it, so he picked it up and brought it back to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Vodka's expression became a little complicated when he saw them coming back so soon.
Jiang Xia glanced at him, and really couldn't guess what this bucket of ice cream was thinking. But perhaps because he had been in contact with ordinary citizens recently, Vodka's production was much higher than before, and Jiang Xia liked this colleague more and more, so when the two looked at each other, he smiled at Vodka to show his friendliness.
Vodka's eyes twitched and he turned his head away quickly.
…
The tour guide got the flour and prepared the meal cautiously under the suspicious gaze of Hattori Heiji.
After dinner, everyone went about their own business, repeating the past two days idly.
Vodka looked around and found a low-key corner that was not out of the crowd. He walked over happily and sat down. Just as he sat down, the sofa next to him sank and someone sat down next to him very naturally.
Vodka: “…”
Jiang Xia: "How is your foot?"
Vodka then remembered that he had just sprained his ankle not long ago. He was about to pretend to be in pain, but then he realized that he had forgotten to pretend for a while and could walk normally now.
…It seems a bit deliberate to make up for it now.
He had no choice but to say: "It should be healed soon." - That is, it is between well and not well, and he can adjust the condition of his ankle according to the specific situation at any time!
Jiang Xia: "That's good."
"It's a medical miracle." A voice floated over from the side. "Dr. Arata" was also listening. She yawned and interrupted, "He was rolling on the ground in pain before, but now he can walk normally. Mr. Yamada's recovery ability is really good."
Vodka: “…”
...Is it an illusion? He always feels that this woman is targeting him, and as time goes by, the targeting becomes more and more obvious.
"Staying next to Uzo for a long time is bound to cause problems. Vermouth's mental state has become increasingly unstable."
Vodka glanced at the colleague warily: "But why is she targeting me? We are all victims of Uzo, so she should obviously join forces with me, but in fact, I always feel that she wants me to disappear... How did I offend her?"
Vodka is puzzled.
However, the hostility and targeting from "new doctors" are apparently continuing.
——At dinner time, the tour guide went into the kitchen and fiddled with it for a while, then came out again with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Um..." The tour guide wiped his hands, "The flour has been scattered. I remember there is still a bag in the warehouse. Who can help me..."
"You did it on purpose!" Hattori Heiji's eyes jumped, "Why did it spill for no reason?"
The tour guide lowered his head and said, "Too many things happened these past few days. I was a little distracted when I was cooking..."
Hattori Heiji knew very well that the brutal murderer who had taken two lives was most likely among the remaining people, and if he excluded his own people, there were actually not many people left.
He stared at the tour guide suspiciously: "Did you first use the lack of ingredients for lunch to test who was willing to help you get things from the warehouse? Then after confirming this, you made some targeted arrangements, hoping to use the same method to trick people away at dinner? - Tell me, after sending Jiang Xia and I away, what do you want to do with the rest of the people?"
The tour guide was stunned by the complicated plan. It took him a second to come back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't have it!"
Hattori Heiji snorted, "Then how did you happen to spill the flour you just brought back?"
The tour guide was about to cry: "But it just spilled."
It is difficult to say whether the flour was destroyed by accident or on purpose.
But no matter what, we still have to eat.
But who to send to get the flour seemed to be a problem - it was now night, more dangerous than at noon, and everyone looked at each other with fear on their faces.
Jiang Xia glanced at Vodka.
Almost at the same time, Hattori Heiji's gaze fell on Vodka's face.
Detective Osaka stroked his chin, and a cunning light seemed to flash in his eyes: "Mr. Yamada, why don't you go."
Vodka was stunned. He didn't expect that this thick-browed and big-eyed Kansai detective would suddenly attack him. He pointed at himself blankly: "...Me?"
Hattori Heiji nodded: "The murderer is probably hiding among us. If I send someone else, I'm worried that he will tamper with the food - but you are different. You came with Jiang Xia, and I can trust you."
...Of course this is a lie.
Hattori Heiji simply thought: since the tour guide wanted to send him and Jiang Xia away, he should do the opposite and let the guy who had the opposite stance to him and Jiang Xia go to the small warehouse to completely disrupt the murderer's sinister plan.
As for tampering with the ingredients... This kind of flour is tightly packed, waterproof and moisture-proof. If there are any signs of being opened, it will be visible at a glance. And vodka will also eat the food made from the flour, so this guy should not poison it.
Next to him, Conan, also a high school detective, immediately understood Hattori Heiji's thoughts.
He secretly clenched his fists and thought to himself what a great idea.
When the others heard that they didn't have to go by themselves, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was happy, except for Vodka, whose eyes twitched wildly. He wanted to kick the troublemaker out of the door, but as a fan of Jiang Xia, Mr. Yamada, he shouldn't refuse this arrangement. Now everyone was on high alert and wanted to get rid of the "murderer" hiding inside. If he acted too suspiciously, things might not be good.
Vodka: “…” But I really don’t want to go!
He thought about it, stood up, and hissed.
Just as he was about to say that his ankle hurt, the newly-appointed doctor next to him glanced at him and pretended to bend over to check on him: "What's wrong?"
Vodka quickly retracted his legs: "Nothing, I just sat for too long and my legs are a little numb." - Just kidding, going to the warehouse now might just be dangerous, but if he lets Vermouth check it out, his ankle would definitely be in real danger!
If you are unable to move in this situation...even if you escape this time, you will suffer next time.
"Mr. Yamada" figured out the accounts and realized with a curse that he might have to go.
...But we still have to fight for the survival rate we deserve.
Vodka glanced at everyone and asked, "Am I going alone?"
First, find a teammate who is not very threatening. That way, when the critical moment comes, all you have to do is run faster than your teammate!
