Chapter 2354 2366 [Unqualified] Request for monthly ticket ()
Vermouth looked at the black shadow that flashed away in the blink of an eye: “…” Tsk.
A witness fell right before his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to kill him? - Come over and hit Vodka with an axe first. Even though there are many people in the room, how do you know it won't work if you don't try?
She severely condemned this incompetent guy in her heart.
At the same time, Vodka, who had fallen beside him, was getting up in a panic. He didn't care about holding a grudge against Belmode in his heart, and immediately turned over to face the window, guarding against the possible silencing.
Then he saw the murderer's back running away in a hurry.
Vodka: “…”
...Just, just left like that?
"That's good. It seems that the murderer didn't have any lethal weapons like guns or grenades. He only had an axe. It turns out that I am not destined to die!"
Vodka was happy at first, but then he felt something was wrong: "That guy ran away now, probably because there are only me and 'Doctor Shin' here, and he doesn't have the confidence to kill us all before others come here.
"Besides, he was wearing a mask, so we can bet that we didn't remember his features... but we saw him after all. When I separate from the others, he will definitely try to kill me again! It seems that when I check the bedroom before going to bed tonight, I must be extra careful and not miss any gaps!"
As he thought about it, Vodka picked up a stool leg that someone had dropped nearby and held it in his hand as a weapon.
He carefully looked to the window and made sure that the murderer had not returned. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and attend to other matters.
Vodka looked down at the painter lying on the ground, then looked at Vermouth: "You just..."
Vermouth smiled and said, "Sorry, I tripped over the bag of flour you threw away."
Vodka: “…”
He seriously suspected that this was just an excuse, but he had no evidence.
"But on the bright side, Vermouth just tripped me instead of stabbing me and then blaming the murderer... This is much better than the worst situation I expected."
Vodka comforted himself in his heart, and secretly glared at Vermouth, the relative, from under his sunglasses, before returning to the state of a normal citizen.
He looked back at the fallen painter, stretched out the stool leg in his hand and poked him carefully: "Hey, are you okay?"
The painter lay on the ground, motionless.
"It looks like he's still breathing, but let's just assume he's dead for now." Vodka made a simple judgment, then he gathered his strength and yelled skillfully, "Help! Someone's killing me!!"
Vermouth was startled by his sudden roar: "..."
…
The scream is indeed a powerful weapon to summon detectives.
Not long after, a group of people rushed in from next door and came into the dark living room.
"ah--!!"
Although they already knew there was a dead body here, some people still screamed when they arrived at the scene.
"His fingers moved!" Suzuki Sonoko's atheism began to waver, but she wanted to save the situation. She grabbed Jiang Xia and tried to find a scientifically correct answer. "Is this because the person just died and his nerves still have some reflexes, so... uh, or is it an illusion caused by some kind of light and shadow?"
"No." Jiang Xia squatted down and touched it, "It can move only because he is still alive."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
...It's all Mr. Yamada's fault for lying about military intelligence! As a Tokyo resident, how could you shout "kill people" without seeing the situation clearly?
When Vodka was condemned by the gazes of high school girls.
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at the painter's wound, then at the blood-stained painting album he dropped to the side, and sighed: "He is so lucky."
When the old doctor in the crowd heard that the person was not dead, he hurried forward, squatted down and carefully examined him.
Jiang Xia made way, looked around, and turned to ask Vodka: "What happened just now?"
Vodka thought for a moment and raised his voice slightly: "I don't know who broke the light in the warehouse, so we spent a lot of time looking for flour. When I came out after searching, I saw Mr. Kobayashi standing by the window holding a picture album, and there seemed to be something reflective behind him.
"Before I could see anything clearly, Mr. Kobayashi fell to the ground screaming. Only then did I realize that someone might be attacking me outside the window. Unfortunately, when I came to my senses and rushed to the window, there was no one outside."
Hattori Heiji handed the medical kit to the old doctor and said suspiciously, "You said a lot, but you just want to say that you didn't see any features of the murderer and don't know who he is?"
Vodka: “…”
...This guy is really good at summarizing! Why bother to speak it out loud when he can just summarize it!
"What I said just now was specifically for the murderer who is hiding somewhere. As long as the murderer thinks that I didn't see anything, he won't keep staring at me and try to silence me..."
Vodka clenched his fists in anger, cursing in his heart: "But now, after being bluntly summarized by this Osaka detective, my intentions are too obvious. Obvious intentions mean a guilty conscience, and a guilty conscience means that I may have seen something... In this case, won't the murderer increase his efforts to silence me? This Osaka black guy is really not someone who is easy to deal with!"
At this time, the oil-consuming lamp continued to ask: "You two really didn't protect the murderer? Or... the murderer is between you two?"
Vodka: "..." He's getting more and more outrageous. He even wants to label me as the murderer's accomplice!
He was about to retort when a voice interrupted him. Ran Mao whispered, "Dr. Shinde wouldn't do that. It's dark outside now, and they might not have seen it."
Conan raised his head: "..." Xiaolan actually spoke for him? This new doctor is really not simple. He won the affection of the female high school student so quickly. What is his purpose?
Beside him, Hattori Heiji didn't notice the primary school student's point. He frowned and touched his chin: "But just now, everyone else was in the restaurant, and only the three of them were outside..."
According to his and Jiang Xia's previous speculation, the murderer should be among their group.
He looked at Jiang Xia, but Jiang Xia was looking up at the window.
The detective seemed intrigued by the painter's success in surviving.
"The murderer must have been standing outside the window, hacking from the outside in." He pointed to the chisel marks on the window frame above:
"The human body is actually stronger than you think. The axe that had chopped three people should have been blunt. The murderer wanted to attack Mr. Kobayashi, but was interrupted by Mr. Yamada and Dr. Shinide who came out of the warehouse. He could only hastily try to kill him, but was hit by a window during the process, which weakened his strength, so he was not able to kill him with one blow like in the previous times."
