Chapter 2843 2855 [Revenge]
It was a long night. Besides Conan and Gin, there was also another person caught in the vortex - Vodka who did not sleep all night.
Unlike Gin who was studying the diary, Vodka's attention had long been focused on another business he had been working on.
"Itakura Taku was already dead yesterday afternoon?"
The burly man in black put one hand in front of his eyes and read the news related to Jiangxia through his fingers. He felt like he was watching a horror movie happening around him.
He shuddered, and thinking back to last night's experience, he felt that everything was weird: "Who was the person who talked to me in the villa in Gunma County before? Could it be a ghost?!"
"No, no, no, calm down. There are no ghosts in the world. If there are, it's Uzo who is causing trouble." Vodka extinguished this terrible possibility, and he thought rationally:
"So it turns out that Vermouth is the woman who is aiding and abetting the evil. I will not forgive this bastard!"
Jiandan punched Vermouth a few times in his heart. Vodka put the matter aside and reviewed the murder case in front of him again.
"Just like my flash of thought last night, Itakura Taku's heart disease has become an indispensable element on the stage."
"As for the process of his death - he accepted the commission, but did not want to do it, and instead planned to stand up the client and flee abroad. However, before he could successfully escape, he was found by the client and died of illness in a way that was difficult to be suspected...
“In this series of processes, replacing ‘three unlucky clients’ with ‘organization’ doesn’t seem to feel out of place.
"Uzo actually used this method to openly execute someone who had played tricks on the organization."
For an organization that pursues "mystery and low-key", Uzo's behavior is simply arrogant. But the problem is that no one outside the organization can see through this, so this arrogant behavior has become an impeccable "low-key".
"Humph, even though it went smoothly this time, if this kid continues to be so arrogant, he will be in big trouble sooner or later!"
While cursing, Vodka collected all the information about the case in detail, and then carefully stored them in his own collection.
——Behind the conspiracy of Itakura Taku's death, there is a bigger conspiracy like a ghost behind it, which can only be seen by those who know Uzo... He has to admit that although this case makes him hate it, it is indeed worth studying again and again.
"And Itakura Taku actually dared to play tricks on me. Calculating the time, if Wu Zuo hadn't killed him, he would have slipped away from under my nose..."
Just imagine himself waiting anxiously for the transaction, but still getting no response after waiting for a long time, and then running to the villa to find that it was empty... By then, the wrath of the organization would probably all fall on him, an innocent worker.
And now, seeing that the pigeon had been killed by the person he had killed, Vodka felt very empathetic and let out a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, the Itakura Taku matter has come to an end. Can I go back to Brother Gin soon?"
Thinking of this, Vodka picked up his phone expectantly and opened his email.
…
When a member of the organization was cautiously testing the waters to return to work.
The other side.
Haibara Ai originally wanted to go back to her room to catch up on some sleep, but when she lay down she couldn't fall asleep.
Since she had nothing to do anyway, after tossing and turning for a few times, she simply yawned, got up, went into the kitchen, and baked some new pastries and breads that she had recently learned how to make.
The dough in the oven gradually expanded and the aroma spread out. Huiyuan Ai held her chin and looked at this relaxing scene, and her tense mood was relieved a lot. After thinking for a while, she walked to the side to find coffee beans and brewed a pot of coffee for herself.
After that, she went back to the basement to kill some time. When the bread was baked, she took out this breakfast...
Then, when he turned around, he suddenly found several more figures in the living room.
——Conan hadn't left yet, and was walking out of the study with Professor Agasa. The two people who had been up all night had dark circles under their eyes and looked haggard.
Smelling the caramel aroma wafting in the air, they paused and turned their heads to look over here at the same time, their eyes shining and swallowing hard.
At the same time, the door to the living room was pushed open. It was already past eight in the morning, which was the time when Jiang Xia usually went out. The sleepless night last night seemed to have no effect on this energetic detective. He came to look for breakfast as usual.
Huiyuan Ai: "..." Fortunately, I baked a little more...
…
The fragrant breakfast can make people's short-circuited thoughts become flexible again.
Conan searched for the disk all night but couldn't find it. Now he finally remembered another thing. He looked at Jiang Xia and asked in confusion:
"By the way, I just heard on the radio that the police found a stolen car near Xianqiao Station. The car was suspected to have been stolen by three jewel robbers from Gunma Prefecture. Did you take that car back last night?"
Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee and was not surprised that Conan knew this: Okiya Subaru's car was driven away by the old man and the young man, and Dr. Agasa's car had broken down. If the people in the villa wanted to come back, they couldn't run.
In this case, the dirty car stolen by the jewel robbers happened to appear at Xianqiao Station - this is already difficult to explain as a coincidence. If Conan couldn't even think of this, he could put aside his high school student status and seriously serve as a younger brother to Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya.
He didn't hide anything and told the truth: "Yesterday you were sneaking around and hiding from me, and then you suddenly went out late at night. I was a little curious... I mean, I was a little worried, so I wanted to follow you and see for myself."
Conan: "..." As expected, Jiang Xia's curiosity is no less than Kudo Shinichi's. Fortunately, I insisted on not telling him about the Black Organization.
While distracted, Jiang Xia continued, "I heard that you and the doctor drove away, so I wanted to get a car to follow you. Unexpectedly, I ran into the enthusiastic Mr. Okiya. He heard that a child went out late at night and was worried about your safety, so he gave me a ride."
Conan: "..." You were just trying to catch up with me, and suddenly a warm-hearted driver showed up? - Listen for yourself, this is too suspicious!
In Conan's mind, the level of danger posed by Okiya Subaru increased slightly.
Jiang Xia: "You know what happened next. I followed the signal from the backup glasses and went all the way to the villa. I saw the lights on inside, so I wanted to go in and ask.
"But we didn't see anyone after we went in, and when we turned around, Mr. Okiya's car was also driven away."
"..." Conan took a bite of bread guiltily and made an excuse to brush it off, "There was a robbery going on in Gunma Prefecture. I was worried that two robbers broke in, so I took the initiative."
