Chapter 2372 2384 [Stripping the Horse]
A minute later, Judy finally understood.
She stared at the car light carefully, looking at the alien-shaped figure reflected by it, and asked uncertainly: "Is this what you are talking about?"
Akai Hideya nodded: "Don't you think it looks similar? As long as you compare the concave and convex degrees of the reflective surface and restore the shadow in a certain proportion, it will be a complete silhouette of Gin."
Judy: “…”
Of course, not at all!
Are you really not just making things up based on your intuition?
And Akai Shuichi continued, "According to the organization's habit, they would definitely climb to a nearby high point to observe the general situation before trading. In other words, considering the time and location of Gin's appearance, he and Vodka were likely on the roller coaster when the beheading case occurred, and were unfortunately involved in the case."
As Judy listened, she frowned and stared at the enlarged image: "..." Wait, first tell me how this shadow looks like Gin... No, you should first explain how it looks like a human?
Next to him, Shuichi Akai obviously didn't intend to dwell on this obvious question. He continued his reasoning: "In short, I suspect that Kudo Shinichi's disappearance is related to the organization. For example, this curious detective noticed the suspiciousness of gin and vodka, so he took some actions without fear of tigers, which eventually led to some bad consequences."
Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, Judy had to put the question aside for the time being and tried to follow Akai Shuichi's current train of thought: "In other words..."
Shuichi Akai: "According to the organization's style, if Kudo Shinichi really discovered something, they would not verbally threaten the high school detective to shut him up. They would only take physical measures to prevent this insider from ever revealing the secrets he saw - and this is probably why Kudo Shinichi disappeared.
"But on the other hand, Kudo Shinichi's acquaintances and relatives are not too worried about his situation... This means that Kudo Shinichi has somehow escaped the organization's extermination and is living safely somewhere."
After hearing this, Judy roughly understood Kudo Shinichi's current situation.
But she still didn't understand what this had to do with what they were talking about just now - weren't they talking about Vermouth's recent strange behavior?
Akai Hideichi glanced at her and saw the problem from her blank expression: "Don't you understand? The organization has its own set of standards for silencing people. Only when you see the body sink into the bay or burn to ashes with your own eyes, will they clearly register the person as dead.
"That is to say, if Kudo Shinichi is really still alive, then there is a high possibility that there are certain loopholes in his record in the organization. Vermouth may have sneaked into Teitan High School and contacted those acquaintances of Kudo Shinichi in order to confirm whether this detective is really dead."
Judy finally understood and shuddered: "Isn't that bad? As long as Vermouth gets familiar with those three kids, she can find out that Kudo Shinichi is still alive with just a little probing!"
Akai Shuichi frowned, obviously feeling that something was wrong.
However, as the silver bullet feared by the organization, he certainly would not lose his composure so easily.
He thought about it carefully. "Vermouth has a high position in the organization. If she is sent here just to confirm whether a witness has been silenced, it would be a waste of talent. So I think she is more likely to come here for other things, but she found something wrong with Kudo Shinichi on the way, so she paid extra attention to it.
"Besides, she probably hasn't found anything useful yet, otherwise the organization would have taken action long ago. Since they haven't found anything useful yet, there's still time for everything."
The more Judy listened, the more she frowned. She had also been a victim of the organization, and she had a grudge against Belmode for having killed her father. She could understand this kind of crisis very well.
Moreover, in the past few days, she went out to play with Jiang Xia and the others a lot: although the process was a bit tiring, both mentally and physically, and they always encountered various dangers... but generally speaking, they were some good kids.
Especially Jiang Xia, who helped her get rid of the police's suspicion countless times and cleared her name. If such a righteous detective was killed by Vermouth...
Judy was worried about a famous detective for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "How about this! We pretend that the news of 'Kudo Shinichi is still alive' is a trap set by the FBI to lure Vermouth."
She raised her hand and gestured: "If Vermouth is really here for Kudo Shinichi's matter, then we can predict her investigation route and take the opportunity to arrest her.
"In this way, she and the people behind her will think that 'Kudo Shinichi is still alive' is just a bait made up by the FBI. And the reason why other high school students think that Kudo Shinichi is still alive is because they are misled by the false information released by our FBI - how about this?"
"Not bad." Akai Shuichi looked at her with a hint of surprise: this colleague usually didn't think much when he was with him, but he didn't expect that he would get something out of his thoughts occasionally.
After all, Judy is an experienced FBI agent. With a general idea of action, she quickly planned out more details: "In this case, we must increase our presence in front of Vermouth without leaving any trace. In addition, according to what you just said, that woman may have another purpose - no matter what she wants to do, as long as we try to disrupt her plan, we will definitely force her to reveal her flaws."
Akai Hide nodded: "You seem to have an idea?"
Judy snapped her fingers. "Campus Festival! - That woman seems to be so interested in this event for some reason. In that case, let's start from there."
…
Soon, the campus festival began.
"Fortunately, the festival was postponed for a few days due to the rainstorm, otherwise I would not have had enough time to rehearse the revised script."
Suzuki Sonoko was standing backstage, holding a Coke. She poked her head out from behind the curtain and glanced at the audience, then happily withdrew her gaze and said to Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan next to her:
"There are more audiences than I thought. It's time to show them Mr. Sonoko's talent for scriptwriting! - I got a lot of inspiration from the recent murder case. The new script will definitely be a very shocking plot!"
Jiang Xia nodded and looked outside as well.
The stage for the campus season was set up in the gymnasium. At this time, the venue was bustling with people and there was a lively scene - not only the teachers and students of Teitan Junior High School came to participate in the campus festival, but most of the alumni who graduated in the past also returned here to show their support for their alma mater.
