Chapter 2876-2888 [Intrigue]
Vodka was looking down at his phone when he suddenly felt a chill.
He raised his head and looked into the room warily: "..." What's going on? This feeling... Is Wuzo plotting against me?
However, Jiang Xia, who was standing at the crime scene, did not look outside the house. At this time, the detective was whispering something to the police chief, as if he was concentrating on helping to solve the case.
Vodka stared at it suspiciously for a few times, but couldn't see anything wrong, so he had to give up observing and shrank into a corner where Jiang Xia couldn't see him.
After thinking for a while, Vodka sent a message to Calvados: [What happened after you entered the building?]
As soon as he clicked send, Vodka regretted it. He quickly added: [Forget it, let’s not talk about it for now. I’m worried that I’ll be tricked into revealing too much information. Don’t contact me until the incident is over!]
Calvados seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, and did not ask about Vodka's acquaintance with the detective. He sent a "OK" and then added kindly: "Don't worry, if you are caught, I will shoot you in time and will not let you go through the pain of interrogation."
Vodka: "…#%&!"
He smashed the email and put away his phone patiently: It's not certain who will shoot whom!
In terms of action ability alone, he may be slightly inferior, but when it comes to understanding the stage... no one is more professional than Vodka!
…
Jiang Xia glanced into the corridor, then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. He said to Inspector Otaki:
"The football star is responsible for lighting up the five rooms on the first and second floors, the baseball player is responsible for the four rooms on the third and fourth floors, and the boxer is responsible for the two rooms on the far sides of the fifth floor. Only the boxer doesn't understand Japanese and can't receive direct orders from Xiaolan, so the task assigned to him is the simplest."
Inspector Otaki listened and took notes: "That is to say, the three of them were able to run around the building openly at the time of the crime. Moreover, they and the deceased were both foreigners, and perhaps they had some friction... In this case, these people are very suspicious."
Yuanshan Heye listened for a while and couldn't help but leaned forward: "But the murder scene is in the middle of the second floor, and I remember that when the gunshots rang out, the three stars were far away from this room, and bullets can't turn, so they can't be the murderers."
"I see." Inspector Otaki looked at his superior's daughter. He couldn't ignore her testimony. He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the exact location of the three of you at the time?"
"I know!" Mao Lilan raised her hand quickly. As the commander of this "K" operation, she knew best where the three people were:
"The baseball star, right above the murder scene - the lights in the room were on, but there was a half curtain covering it, so he walked over to the window and drew back the curtain, and we all saw him standing by the window.
"At about the same time, the boxing star turned off the lights in the second room from the left on the top floor of the building.
"At this time, Mr. Lei turned on the light in the room on the lower right. We were cheering for the completion of the letter K when we heard the sudden sound of gunfire..."
Mao Lilan calculated the time: "From the time the baseball star opened the curtain to the time the gunshot rang out, the difference between the two should not exceed 5 seconds."
Suzuki Sonoko also remembered the scene at that time. She added: "We had just cheered for less than two seconds when the gunshots rang out. After that, the three stars all leaned out of the room and asked what happened. It can be seen that they were in the rooms they were responsible for at the time."
Inspector Otaki drew a diagram in his notebook based on what they said. He then estimated the distances between the rooms and felt a headache: "A few seconds is not enough time to go back and forth... Doesn't that mean these three people are not suspects?"
Conan doesn't want the murderer to be his favorite star, rather than suspecting this...
The fake elementary school student blurted out: "Could the murderer be another invited guest?"
—like the vodka, or that suspicious guy he was with who was at another shooting scene yesterday.
Conan glanced at the corridor and continued, "After Jiang Xia, Heiji and I ran up, other guests and staff also arrived one after another. At that time, the scene was in chaos - even if the murderer took the opportunity to blend in with them, or slipped away quietly, no one would notice."
Inspector Otaki sighed and said, "If that's the case, we'll have to check all the people at the party..." Just thinking about the workload is enough to give him a headache.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiang Xia continue his words: "Be careful when investigating - don't forget, the murderer may have a gun."
"!" Upon hearing this, Inspector Otaki's eyes lit up. "Yes, the murder weapon has not been found yet! If the murderer felt that he was weak and did not dare to discard the gun, but secretly kept the gun on him, wanting to fight to the death at the critical moment... then we just need to put on bulletproof vests and conduct a body search, and the problem will be solved!"
Vodka, who was eavesdropping in the corridor: "..."
"Fortunately..." He touched his empty waist, feeling relieved, and even more fortunate that he had decisively sent the gun away last night:
"I knew that with Uzo around, we must not carry guns when we go out. Speaking of which, this guy has a really bad personality - he can't carry a gun himself, so he tells everyone around him not to carry guns..."
He silently cursed this willful colleague in his heart, and then thought of one thing with gloating - Calvados, that guy who loved guns like his life, would never give up carrying a gun because of what happened last night.
"Just now he actually wanted to send me off. Haha, I wonder what his expression will be like after the police find out he has a gun on him."
After darkly imagining the scene at that time for a while, Vodka took out his cell phone...
Start messaging Calvados.
Vodka: “…” Although he really wanted to let that annoying guy taste the feeling of being targeted by Uzo, if Calvados was really exposed and fell into the hands of the police...the organization would definitely not pretend not to see it, but would investigate it to some extent.
"When we were talking about searching for guns just now, we didn't lower our voices intentionally, and Jiang Xia knew I was outside the house..."
Vodka muttered to himself, "If we investigate, and Uzo innocently says, 'It's hard for me to act in front of the police and detectives. I wanted Vodka to pass the message to Calvados, but I don't know why Vodka didn't respond'... then I'm in trouble, right?"
Although those who know Uzzo's character will definitely understand who is primarily responsible, Calvados is not a particularly key figure.
If the organization doesn't want to deal with Uzo for this, but can't easily let the matter go...then isn't Vodka a ready-made scapegoat?
