Chapter 2854-2866 [What to do if the younger generation works too hard]
Looking around the venue, there were only many guests walking back and forth, and the groom had disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Xia remembered something and said to Suzuki Sonoko, "He just received a phone call and then left."
"That call was from the bride." Conan overheard more, "Just 10 minutes ago."
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." You even found out who made the call? You really are a talent for corporate espionage.
I was muttering to myself when suddenly a chef ran into the hall in shock: "Parking lot! Parking lot..."
The bride's brother greeted her in confusion: "What's wrong? Speak slowly, don't disturb the guests."
The chef took a deep breath and organized his words: "There's a person lying next to the RV in the parking lot—he looks like Mr. Hatakeyama!!"
Many guests: “?!”
…
The groom died?
Vodka: “…” Belmodem actually got it right!
"That woman can get the answer right just by randomly betting, so what's the point of all my hard work analyzing for so many years?" Vodka gnashed his teeth and envied the talented players, then consoled himself:
"The chef only said that the groom fell to the ground, but he didn't say he was dead - maybe the groom just fainted, or the murderer disguised himself as a victim and wanted to use a trick to clear himself of suspicion.
"To put it another way, even if he is really dead... Vermouth may not have come to this conclusion through analysis. Maybe she heard some inside information from Calvados."
Thinking of this, Vodka felt much better.
Amid Chianti's chattering urging, he began to look for corresponding surveillance in the yard.
…
Something unexpected happened during the wedding, and as a detective passing by, of course I had to take up my post immediately.
So soon, the high school students and the elementary school students rushed out of the banquet hall and came to the parking lot that the chef mentioned.
Sure enough, just as the messenger had said, a figure was lying quietly on the ground between the RV and a commercial vehicle.
Jiang Xia shone the flashlight over there and saw the groom lying on his back in a pool of blood with a bloody hole in his chest.
——There was no movement in his chest, and he looked dead.
"Shooting?" Conan was startled and frowned, "And it was caused by a close-range shooting."
“Mr. Hatakeyama?!” Other people at the wedding venue also ran over one after another. Seeing the person lying on the ground, the guests were shocked and asked, “What happened?”
Jiang Xia stopped everyone, then walked past them and looked at the two high school girls who were also trotting over in high heels: "Call the police first."
"Yes!" Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki nodded in tacit understanding, one pressed 110, and the other started calling an ambulance.
At this time, Jiang Xia moved the flashlight, as if he suddenly discovered something.
He walked around the vehicles on either side of the body, walked to the open space behind, and looked down at the ground.
"What's wrong?" Conan noticed his movement and hurried over. Looking down, he saw a few pieces of wood scattered on the path about five or six meters away from the car.
Conan squatted down in confusion and picked up a piece through his handkerchief: "What is this?"
"It looks like pieces of a wooden box." Jiang Xia tapped his head. "There are people watching us from behind. Don't move. Wait until the police arrive."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Conan could only reluctantly put the fragments back where they came from.
He stared at them, wondering how they related to the shooting nearby.
The lively scene in the yard was captured by nearby surveillance cameras.
But the only downside is...
Chianti: [Where is this camera going? I want to see the parking lot, the parking lot!]
——The surveillance footage that Vodka put up was from the entrance of the hall. From here, you can't see the parking lot at all, you can only see the wedding guests crowded together with panicked faces.
Vodka was given a headache by the noise of her own voice text: "Stupid! It's obvious that the murderer deliberately avoided the surveillance - there is nothing in the first place, where can I get it for you!"
However, although what the camera captured was limited, one thing was very clear.
——Judging from the guests’ reactions, especially the fact that Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko made the phone call together, the groom was indeed dead.
Vermouth came back to her senses from her chaotic thoughts: "......?"
I just picked a name at random and got it right?
[The one besieging the groom is Vermouth?] The mystery is solved, and someone is furious, [This woman must be trying to get information from Calvados again! How shameless! Vodka, take all her coins!]
Vermouth came back to her senses and sneered: It is obvious that Calvados has never been close to the wedding venue, let alone knowing Uzo's intentions, but...
Vermouth: [The one who died was actually the groom? Not bad, your colleague is as useful as ever.]
Chianti: “…”
…
In the distance, Curacao took a moment out of his busy schedule to glance at his phone and saw the blocked words scrolling all over the screen.
“…”
She skillfully blocked out the Chianti, and the screen suddenly became much clearer.
"The one who died was actually the groom?"
She was wrong again.
Curacao stared at the balance of his inventory and frowned silently.
"However, knowing that Uzo is facing Calvados is also good news." Curacao turned off his phone and skillfully adjusted his work plan. "Move those business trip tasks to the back. Let's finish the Tokyo mission while Uzo is away."
While a model worker was watching secretly.
In Tokyo, another model worker also frowned as he looked at the unexpected result on his phone.
...The one who died was actually the groom?
After confirming this again and again, Gin's eyes twitched slightly.
The gambling game in front of him didn't matter, what he cared about was the organization's mission - he just wanted to see Usa beat up the Hatakeyama family, but he never thought that he would see this young cadre beat the head of the family to death right from the start.
Gin: "..." Could it be that he had misunderstood before - Uzo didn't know about Calvados' mission, and just followed Suzuki Sonoko to attend the banquet, and gave the organizer an unexpected gift?
"The newlyweds registered their marriage two days ago. This means that after Hatakeyama Yuu dies, most of his property will be inherited by his civilian wife."
Gin instinctively thought about the follow-up, and the more he thought about it, the more he frowned: he had seen similar things before. According to experience, many civilians who suddenly received a large sum of money would not continue to run the family business left by the deceased, but would sell their property and flee far away.
If things really turn out like that...
“Bang!!”
A burst of sound was heard in the surveillance footage.
Gin came back to his senses, listened to the slightly strange voice, and lowered his head to look at the screen again.
...gunshot?
