Chapter 2820 2832 [Vermouth: The Cauldron Falling from the Sky] Asking for a monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
As the old man and the young boy looked on in horror, a beep sounded and a voice came from the phone.
The person on the other side used the message box to talk to them across the air: "What are you doing in the villa? Why don't you check your emails?"
Two people: “?!”
Dr. Agasa was so panicked that he was at a loss, and whispered in shock: "Oh no, those guys know there are people here!"
Conan noticed something else: the tone sounded familiar, but upon closer inspection it was strange... Speaking of which, the person in the organization who sounded familiar to him - could it be Vodka who deliberately changed his tone? !
This thought flashed through his mind, and after carefully considering the words just now, Conan was immediately convinced:
There is no doubt that the person who called must be that scheming Vodka!
If the person on the other end was a stranger and his voice had been changed so drastically, Conan probably wouldn't be able to hear anything.
But Vodka always appeared around Jiang Xia under various excuses, and Conan had contact with him many times. With the ears and sharpness of the famous detective, he finally caught the fox's tail.
"He's too cautious to even talk to Itakura Taku, a programmer who's seriously ill and powerless. He even deliberately changed his voice."
A bead of sweat slowly slid down Conan's forehead. He looked out the window of the villa and couldn't help but whisper to Dr. Agasa, "The worst situation now is that the organization predicted Mr. Itakura's prediction. They guessed that Mr. Itakura would think that they couldn't guess that the important documents were placed in this villa, so they have been sending people to monitor this place from a distance."
Dr. Agasa was a little confused by this conversation, but he did understand one thing: "If that group of people really have been monitoring this villa for a long time, then aren't we doomed?!"
As he was speaking, the person on the phone urged him again in a cold voice: "Don't play dumb, call me back immediately! Do you think you can escape from that villa smoothly by pretending to be deaf and dumb?"
The more Dr. Agasa listened, the more panicked he became. He quickly whispered to Conan, "It's snowing heavily outside now, and visibility is very poor. Let's sneak out the back door before that guy gets close. It's better to run through the woods and stop a car and run away than to be trapped here and wait to die."
Conan frowned and thought.
Suddenly, under Dr. Agasa's horrified gaze, the fake elementary school student grabbed the receiver and used a voice changer tuned to Itakura Taku's voice to say, "Sorry, sorry, it's too dark in the room, and my eyesight has been bad recently, so I couldn't find the phone right away."
As he spoke, he complained to the person on the other end as if chatting casually: "The snowstorm must have blown down the power lines - I just opened my mailbox to check the mail, but the computer went dark with a snap, and the lights went out. I almost tripped when I stood up."
On the other side of the phone, Vodka, whose voice had been changed, snorted coldly, without any sympathy at all: Who told you to build the villa in such a desolate place?
——If it was somewhere else, he wouldn't mind rushing over to pick up the goods in person and finishing the work early.
But when I looked at Itakura Taku's delivery address just now, it was far away in Gunma Prefecture, and it was in a mountainous area... It was the middle of the night, and he was stupid to run to such a dangerous place.
But wait.
Vodka suddenly realized something: "The power was out, how did you answer the phone? I was clearly calling the landline in your villa."
"Itakura Taku" sighed: "When I bought this villa, I wanted its beautiful scenery, but later I found that the water and electricity would be cut off when there was a little bad weather, so I specially changed it to a landline phone with a battery."
Vodka was skeptical: "...Really?" It didn't stop morning or night, but it just stopped when you were reading emails. Is it really such a coincidence?
He always felt that something seemed to be wrong, but no matter how he listened, it was indeed Taku Itakura's voice on the other end, and his complaining personality was just as written in the work records.
"Who else could it be if not him? It can't be that Vermouth is faking her voice to tease me." Vodka muttered to himself, "Uzo is still solving cases in Tokyo. If he finds Itakura Taku, he probably won't let him out of Tokyo so easily... Am I really overthinking?"
…
In the villa, while Conan was dealing with Vodka, he quietly wrote a sentence in the notebook he carried with him.
He turned that sentence around and showed it to Dr. Agasa: [Turn on the lights in the room]
I thought he would write "You go first and I'll cover you!", so the sentence "No, if you want to go, let's go together!" was already on the tip of my tongue: "???"
... Is Shinichi crazy? He just told the organization member on the phone that the villa had a power outage, and then he turned around and asked him to turn on the lights. Isn't it obvious that "Itakura Taku" is lying?
However, after taking a look at Kudo Shinichi's determined face and hesitating for a moment, Dr. Agasa finally took a deep breath and walked towards the light switch.
…
In front of the landline, Conan tried his best to imitate Itakura Taku's mentality and negotiated with Vodka: "But didn't we agree not to monitor me? How did you know I was in the villa and called my landline?"
Vodka came back to his senses from this annoying "coincidence" and sneered: "..." Just as it was recorded in the task file, this Itakura Taku was sensitive and neurotic, and his procrastination was so serious that he was hopeless. When the delivery date came, he would do crazy things and would do anything to stand others up.
"That power outage might have been an excuse he made up on purpose. Humph, this guy usually puts on airs with ordinary people, but he actually did that to me... Does he really take the organization seriously?" For a moment, Vodka's sense of organizational honor reached its peak:
"In the final analysis, it's because Vermouth and Tequila didn't put enough pressure on him. These idiot colleagues of mine are more unreliable than the other. I suddenly understand why my brother is always so irritable."
While muttering in his heart, he skillfully said harsh words to Itakura Taku: "Do you think that turning off your phone will solve all the problems? - Don't be naive. We know everything about you and can find you anytime and anywhere. Any passerby who passes by you may be one of ours..."
As he was talking, Vodka himself shuddered for no apparent reason.
After a moment of confusion, he suddenly reacted: Wait, the more he talks, the more it sounds like Uzo!
He quickly shook his head vigorously to get rid of the weird thoughts in his mind, and then said seriously: "Don't interrupt me - I've given you so much time, you should have finished the software."
Conan: "..." Oh, too naive, the dead pigeon was not even started. It is still the same as the semi-finished product before.
While laughing at the members of the organization who were stood up in his heart, he snorted reluctantly: "You have all come to my house, how dare I not do it."
