Chapter 336 Naming Techniques
Vermouth got the phone and didn't stay in the corridor for long.
She pried open the door next to Jiang Xia's, entered the empty tool room, then took Jiang Xia's cell phone and turned it on to check.
Vermouth was not surprised that there were two mobile phones - "Uzo" and "Jiangxia" were both important identities, and it would be abnormal to use only one mobile phone.
At this time, both phones have lock screen passwords set.
Vermouth then took out a palm-sized decoding tool from her bag, connected it to the phone, and started cracking it.
——I want to understand Uzo's thoughts. Of course, I can't just listen to his one-sided words.
Only the truth that you dig out bit by bit through your own exploration and hard work is the most credible.
…
The progress bar on the decoding tool gradually reached the end.
At this point, on the surface, both phones were completely open to her.
Vermouth looked around and soon lost interest in the "organization's dedicated mobile phone" - for her, a woman who was deeply favored by "that adult" and an "immortal witch" who had lived for decades longer, the organization's intelligence was almost completely open to her.
Therefore, this mobile phone, which would definitely be fought over by the red team if released, was thrown aside by Vermouth.
She picked up the everyday phone.
I opened my mailbox and found the contacts, and suddenly I saw the first few pages were all of special attention.
Vermouth took a quick glance and saw two people with the surname "Mauri", one was Maori Kogoro, and the other was Maori Ran - Uzo seemed to prefer using full names as notes, which was convenient for Vermouth.
Vermouth secretly wrote down Mao Lilan's email address.
…
Then she glanced at the names of other people in a good mood, and her attention was soon attracted by one of them named "Edogawa Conan".
This name, whether it is a surname or a given name, is quite rare. And there are two famous mystery novelists in the world, "Edogawa Ranpo" and "Conan Doyle".
In short, compared to the proper name given by the parents, this looks more like a name made up out of interest...
Vermouth's heart moved, and she had a vague association, but she couldn't be sure for a moment.
She thought for a moment, scrolled to the end of the special attention items marked with stars, and then jumped to the people whose names started with K to look for the name "Kudo Shinichi", but still found nothing.
Vermouth: “…” Uzo didn’t save cool guy’s account?
Or saved it, but without notes?
…
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly vibrated.
Vermouth came to her senses and returned to her inbox.
Then I saw a new message in my mailbox, from "Mauri Lan".
There was a photo attached, showing a glowing fluorescent stick:
[Buy two get one free, we've got one for you! The concert starts at 6pm and ends at 9pm. If the commission ends early, you can come and play with us~]
Vermouth read these words, as if she saw Angel's gentle and cheerful smile through them. Her tense mood after returning to Japan silently improved a lot.
…
In order to get Jiang Xia drunk, Vermouth drank a lot today. After standing for a long time, she was inevitably a little tired.
She simply pulled out a washed carpet from the tool room, lay on it, and secretly looked through the emails between Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan with a treasure hunting mood.
——Judging from the content, the relationship between Uzo and Angel is actually better than what she heard at school.
And judging from Angel's thanks and condolences, Uzo seemed to have helped her a lot, including saving her life.
For some reason, Vermouth felt a sense of relief slowly welling up in her heart.
After a moment of relief, she came to her senses and rationally thought:
...If Wu Zo falls in love with her Angel, then wouldn't the cool guy who has a mutual affection with Angel become the biggest threat to Wu Zo?
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be a great motivation...
However, Vermouth's intuition told her: If Uzo was so jealous that he wanted to kill Kudo Shinichi, then when he mentioned "Kudo" in the bar before, he should have at least felt a little guilty, hateful, disgusted, or the pleasure of killing his enemy.
However, Vermouth remembered it clearly - absolutely nothing.
Compared to these "villains succeeded" emotions, at that time, Usa was more like protecting and guarding against her - guarding against the villain who was asking for information about "Kudo Shinichi".
Thinking of this, Vermouth frowned slightly and looked intently at Jiang Xia's mailbox.
She had a vague feeling: maybe today, she could find out the whereabouts of the "dead" cool guy.
Vermouth exited her email and opened Jiang Xia's address book.
As expected, the full name notes are used here as well.
She found Mao Lilan's number in it, her fingertips hovered over the dial key for a moment, and finally pressed it hard.
Vermouth had learned disguise from the famous magician "Black Feather Toichi" and also learned voice changing skills. She can accurately simulate various voices she has heard.
Concert scene.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko had entered the venue for a while. At this time, the two were sitting side by side, watching TWO·MIX take the stage excitedly.
At this moment, Mao Lilan suddenly felt the cell phone in her pocket vibrating.
She took out her cell phone and saw that it was Jiang Xia calling.
“……”Jiang Xia completed the commission?
That’s great, the concert has just started and we can definitely catch it!
…
Ran Mouri greeted Suzuki Sonoko, stood up and walked outside to the quiet corridor to answer the phone.
A familiar voice came from the receiver. The person complained, "Why did you take so long to answer?"
Ran Mao Li was stunned and looked at her phone in disbelief - this, this was Shinichi's voice!
"Shinichi? Why are you using Jiang Xia's phone?" She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and suddenly realized something, "You finished that difficult case and returned to Tokyo?"
——“A tricky case”, this is the reason that Kudo Shinichi announced to his classmates for his disappearance.
On the other side of the receiver, Vermouth listened to these words and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.
——After hearing the voice of "Kudo Shinichi", Mao Lilan's tone became obviously very surprised. But it was just ordinary surprise, far from the level of "a dead childhood friend suddenly called her as if nothing had happened".
This most genuine reaction was enough to verify Vermouth's conjecture: Cool Guy was very likely still alive. Angel knew this, and Uzo knew this too.
Vermouth recalled Gin's previous implicit admiration for Uzo and chuckled: Gin's vision is still as bad as before.
…
After reaching a simple conclusion, Vermouth teased Mao Lilan in Kudo Shinichi's voice and hung up the phone.
Afterwards, her eyes fell on the person with the note "Edogawa Conan" and another string of numbers without any notes.
——The number of calls between Usa and the number without notes even exceeded that of some customers with notes. And there were several times when Usa ended the call with that number and immediately started talking to "Edogawa Conan" again, with almost no interval in between, as if "Edogawa Conan" had used the wrong number when calling, so after hanging up, he immediately changed to another number to talk to Usa.
Vermouth stared at the call records back and forth, her eyes solemn:
I always feel like there's something wrong...
