Chapter 2846-2858 [Vermouth's Terrible Licking Dog]
"Besides, Tequila's death has nothing to do with me. The only thing we have in common is that we worked together to find that programmer two years ago."
While feeling puzzled, Vermouth unfolded the email and read it in detail - Gin is not the kind of person who has a lot of free time, and his every move must have corresponding meaning.
As she watched, Vermouth's brows gradually furrowed.
“When Tequila died ‘accidentally’, a famous detective ‘passed by’ the scene… As expected, Gin also discovered that Jiang Xia was responsible for that incident.
"Wait, what is this? A diary?"
Vermouth clicked on it and read two lines, then she remembered—this seemed to be the diary of that genius programmer.
Actually, the plan of "sneaking into the room and moving items to force Itakura Taku to surrender" was her idea. When Tequila sneaked into the room, he also reported the situation to her, including this diary.
...But Tequila didn't tell you at that time that there was a hidden diary behind the ordinary daily routines of Itakura Taku.
…
"I see. Gin must have guessed that the 'mysterious woman' who was talking to Itakura Taku in the diary was me, so he sent this email to warn me and tell me to be careful with what I say next time."
It was just a warning, Vermouth didn't take it to heart - the conversation she had with Itakura Taku was cut out separately, which was neither illegal nor against regulations, and most people couldn't understand it at all. In terms of keeping the organization mysterious and low-key, she actually knew what she was doing.
but……
"How did Gin suddenly find something wrong with Itakura Taku's diary? Did something happen to Itakura Taku?" Vermouth pondered:
"Besides, if something happens to Itakura Taku, then let it happen. Why did Gin send me an additional report about Tequila's death in the explosion? Was it a simple threat, or..."
For some reason, she always felt uneasy.
Thinking about the other person involved in Tequila's death report, Vermouth suddenly had an idea, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the news push.
Soon, a piece of news about "a genius programmer and CG artist was brutally murdered by his friend" appeared before her.
…
"The body was found around 5pm yesterday, and the case was solved around 6pm..." Belmode's mind moved, "Wait, isn't this when I ran into Uzo yesterday?"
"So before he solved the fishing and slamming case with me, Wu Zuo had just left another stage? Strange, his cases are always reported quickly in the newspapers, but why did the murder of Itakura Taku, which happened yesterday, not come to light until today?"
Although Vermouth's understanding of Jiang Xia was not as detailed and comprehensive as Vodka's, the strange time difference between them still caught her attention.
"Something's wrong. Something's very wrong."
Vermouth pinched her fingertips, using the slight pain to stimulate her thinking.
What concerned her even more was that during the interval between these two problematic cases, Usa was staying with "Edogawa Conan", and the way they got along at that time was obviously different from usual.
"I remember when I met Uzo yesterday, he seemed to be asking Cool Guy for something..."
In addition, when she was investigating the hammer murder case with Jiang Xia yesterday as a "new doctor", she clearly felt that someone was following her. Later, when the case was closed, she found out that it was a few reporters.
Vermouth didn't care at the time, but now thinking about it, it was probably because of the sudden second case that Itakura Taku's case was successfully concealed until it was exposed today.
"It's too strong, the traces of the script are too strong... and I didn't notice it until now."
I didn’t feel much when I was there yesterday, but now when I think back on it, Vermouth breaks out in a cold sweat.
Although she hadn't figured out what Wu Zuo was doing, she already felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
After thinking for a moment, Vermouth picked up the phone and dialed a number.
——This is Gin’s phone number.
"Gin should know what happened last night." Vermouth took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and planned to get some information from Gin.
However, her fingers had already moved to the call button, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally stopped.
"No, Gin is not a fool, and he knows my character very well. If I had called him right away if his message had just arrived, he would have immediately noticed something was wrong with me and would have come back to tell me about my actions last night."
"And if what happened last night really implicates Cool Guy as I thought, then my phone call will push him into hell just like the obstruction yesterday."
Although there was no evidence, Vermouth had a vague feeling that helping Conan stop Uzo yesterday seemed to be an extremely bad choice.
It was as if Uzo had laid out a stage in front of her that she didn’t want to see, and then asked her to pull open the curtain with her own hands.
"Fortunately, there is no news about 'elementary school students being murdered' at the moment."
Vermouth sighed: "Look at it from a bright side, this is not the first time Cool Guy has been involved in danger related to the organization, but we cannot rule out that this is a warning from Uzo to me..."
It seems that the progress of arresting Shirley will have to be put on hold until she confirms Uzo's attitude.
Thinking of this, Vermouth deleted the number on the call interface and called someone else.
"Calvados." Vermouth called out the code name of the other party indifferently, "The situation has changed. Don't go back to Tokyo yet. Stay in Osaka for two more days. When I figure out some things, I will find you and come back."
Calvados was silent for a while, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
After several seconds, until Vermouth was getting a little impatient, his voice came from the receiver: "Okay."
…
Osaka.
After hanging up the phone, Calvados looked at the newspaper on the table and the young and handsome detective in the newspaper, and slowly frowned.
"Yesterday evening, he just solved a case with my goddess. Today, she ran into trouble and was more anxious than usual..."
Calvados' eyes gradually turned cold, and he slowly wiped the gun in his hand: "What did this detective do?"
Although it seems that the beautiful lady does not want him to interfere too much in the unknown "plan", the man should take the initiative and not wait for the lady to propose everything.
"It seems that when I return to Tokyo, I will have to meet the famous detective in person."
With a few clicks, Calvados assembled the gun in his hand: if necessary, he wouldn't mind firing a bullet to make that annoying "righteous man" disappear from the world forever.
