Chapter 2625-2637 [Conan's Trap]
Conan took a deep breath and calmed his heartbeat which had accelerated due to shock.
"It seems that my attitude towards vodka has attracted Jiang Xia's attention." Conan muttered to himself, "No, I can't relax my facial expressions just because I'm a child. I'm a famous detective, so I should be good at disguise. How can I be discovered by others all the time?"
After briefly reflecting on his mistake, Conan ran to the window, stood on tiptoe and looked out, changing the subject: "Mr. Yamada's room is on the 7th floor... Hmm? Why is there a room over there without curtains?"
Jiang Xia walked over and looked to the side - the building connecting the two parallel buildings was not frequently used. Even during the day, most of the rooms there had their curtains drawn.
But on the same floor, there is a room that is different. It has no curtains. Looking from here, you can vaguely see the various equipment neatly stacked in the room.
Jiang Xia glanced back and forth between the three rooms: "The angle is just right."
Conan's mind flashed as if lightning, his eyes lit up, and he reached out and pushed the window of this "crime scene": "I see! It's pitch black in the middle of the night, and the glass will reflect light like a mirror against a dark background - as long as the window of this room is opened outwards and pushed to a certain angle, it will become a mirror, reflecting the scene in that room to Mr. Yamada's ward."
He pointed to the room behind that had no curtains: "In other words, the crime scene that Mr. Yamada saw was not the room directly opposite him, but that place!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Let's go and take a look."
The two left the fake scene, turned a corner, and came to the real scene.
The word "Warehouse" was also written on the doorplate here, but unlike the fake warehouse just now, this warehouse was obviously in use. There were many machines placed inside, and it looked quite crowded.
Conan trotted in first. He looked carefully at the window: "There is no blood, nor any signs of excessive cleaning. This doesn't look like a murder scene."
Jiang Xia walked into the room without closing the door. He looked around and his eyes quickly stopped on something in the corner.
It was a life-size human model, all white, with its mouth slightly open and its head tilted, sitting in the corner. At first glance, it looked like a lifeless corpse.
Conan was startled when he passed by, but quickly recovered: "This doll... could this be the 'victim' that Mr. Yamada saw?"
Jiang Xia pushed the puppet and looked at its exposed back: "It should be correct - there are still a few knife wounds left here."
Conan: “…”
So the "strange incident" that kept the Black Organization cadres awake for two nights was just a farce of stabbing a puppet in the middle of the night?
Conan scratched his head: "Who on earth has nothing better to do than to play such a prank..." In the smallest case, it might be a medical worker who was decompressing in the middle of the night and destroying public property. In the biggest case... maybe it was a hostile force of the Black Organization who was plotting against Vodka?
Thinking of this, Conan's eyes turned: Why not come to the hospital quietly tonight. If it is a prank, stop it. And if there really is an enemy of the Black Organization... then it's a good opportunity to get more information, and maybe even make friends in the chaos.
Thinking of this, Conan yawned: "Let's stop here today. I have to go back and play with those kids."
As he spoke, he looked at the flowers in Jiang Xia's hand and said nonsense: "Actually, I have a plan."
Jiang Xia asked cooperatively: "What plan?"
Conan said mysteriously: "Don't go visit Mr. Yamada today. I will tell you the reason tomorrow."
- If something happens tonight and Jiang Xia happens to visit Vodka during the day, then Vodka might vent his anger on this innocent detective.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to follow my conscience and pretend to be a riddler to keep Jiang Xia away from that dangerous guy.
After all, it was a lie, and Conan felt a little guilty about it.
Fortunately, his classmates were not the type to ask in-depth questions, so Jiang Xia did not ask any more questions: "Okay, then I'll wait and see. But you are only a primary school student after all, so you should pay more attention to safety."
"Don't worry." Conan touched his high-tech equipment and felt that the problem was not serious. "I know what I am doing."
After investigating the two warehouses and understanding the general cause of the incident, the two detectives left with their achievements concealed.
After they left, a furtive figure turned around the corner.
Vodka: "..." So that's it! No wonder he clearly saw a murder case across the street, but there was no trace when he investigated... It turned out that the real "murder scene" was not where he saw it!
A few minutes ago.
Vodka was routinely checking the surroundings. When he accidentally peeked out from the gap in the curtains, he suddenly discovered that something was moving in the "crime scene" opposite.
This made him alert immediately, and when he looked carefully, Vodka's heart stopped suddenly. Although it was daytime and the scene in the room was not very clear, the two blurry figures opposite him still made him feel familiar. Almost the next moment his eyes touched them, Vodka recognized the identity of the person.
"What are these two guys doing across from me?" Vodka was horrified, but at the same time he felt relieved that everything was settled. "I told you that I'm fine, and that someone must have been behind these past two days—and now, the person behind this has surfaced!"
While Officer Takagi went shopping in the supermarket, he hid behind the curtains and carefully observed everyone's actions on the opposite side.
Jiang Xia and the little kid were seen pointing at a room on the side and pushing the window to a certain angle.
Vodka couldn't hear what the two men were whispering, but looking at the scene in front of him, especially the wide open window opposite, it was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he suddenly had a guess.
What happened in the past two days was almost becoming his nightmare, so even though he was very disgusted with Jiang Xia and that little kid, after thinking for a moment, Vodka gritted his teeth and quietly went to the room on the side.
Then I suddenly understood everything.
"The strange things that happened in the past two days have finally been solved." There was no time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Vodka immediately fell into another more critical question, "Why stab the doll if he wants to, but why does he drug me every day? What exactly does that mischievous guy want to do to me?"
"Also, Uzo knew I was in this ward, but he still showed up across the street. Even if I had the curtains drawn, he should have considered the possibility that I could see what was happening across the street...
"That is to say, the truth that I know now might have been revealed to me by Uzo on purpose."
"…So what is his purpose?"
