Chapter 350 Vodka: It was Uzo who killed Pisk! (Combined Chapter)
At present, Haibara Ai has not been able to develop a complete antidote, but has developed several antidotes with different advantages and disadvantages in terms of side effects and duration.
The one she just chose was the one with the shortest lasting effect and relatively mild side effects.
The reason for choosing this medicine is that Haibara Ai felt that it would be best for her to return to her child's size as soon as possible after climbing up the stairs.
After all, if Pisk was arrested in time, the other members of the organization present would not have received the information about "adults becoming smaller" and would not pay too much attention to a child. After she escaped, even if she no longer lived in Dr. Agasa's house, she could escape to other places.
Naturally, Jiang Xia, who had seen and was familiar with her two forms, was not counted among the "other members of the organization" in Haibara Ai's mind.
Every time she classified, she would subconsciously distinguish "Jiang Xia" from "organization members". Although to her, the two exuded a similar aura, but Jiang Xia had something else that the organization members did not have, which made Huiyuan Ai unable to look at the two together.
…
She mustered up the courage to finish her medicine and subconsciously glanced at the laptop on the wooden table.
This should be what Pisk left behind, and it contains countless valuable information.
But at the same time, Huiyuan Ai referred to her previous life experience in the organization and suspected that there was a locator in the computer, and taking it away would be a disaster. And she didn't have any media to copy the data...
Haibara Ai looked away regretfully, then without pausing, quickly walked towards the door.
Her goal was the cardboard box on the cleaning cart by the door. On the edge of the cardboard box, there was a set of cleaner's clothes - when she grew up, the children's clothes she was wearing now would no longer fit her.
When walking in the wine cellar just now, Haibara Ai noticed this box. Perhaps she had the subconscious survival instinct of "becoming bigger and escaping through the chimney". From then on, she paid special attention to the clothes in the box. Now that she was sure she wanted to escape, she immediately thought of the location of the clothes.
However, when Haibara Ai was dragging out the clothes while enduring the high fever on her body, she suddenly felt that they were a little heavy.
Immediately afterwards, a "click" sound was heard.
——There seemed to be something heavy pressing on the cleaner's clothes. As she dragged the clothes away, the thing fell smoothly to the bottom of the box.
Haibara Ai walked forward doubtfully, stood on tiptoe and grasped the edge of the cardboard box to look inside.
When she saw what was inside, she was stunned.
...This turned out to be a bulletproof vest.
However, what made her stunned was not this special protective clothing, nor the strange occasion in which the clothing appeared, but the piece of paper draped over it.
…It turned out to be a piece of paper with a “Z” pattern printed on it. The pattern was complex, ancient and simple, and looked very familiar!
Huiyuan Ai picked up the clothes hesitantly and took up the piece of paper to look at it carefully. She had seen the same tattoo on Xiaobai's neck before, and there was a similar tattoo under Miss Anonymous's eyes.
Why is there such a mark here?!
Could it be that she guessed wrongly, and the one who knocked her out and brought her here was not Pisk from the Black Organization, but someone from Anonymous? ?
...No, this speculation is wrong. Some parts are inconsistent.
If Anonymous wanted to catch her, he wouldn't have to wait until now.
And she remembered that the hand that held her was very old, dry and full of wrinkles. According to Conan's speculation about the Anonymous organization, Anonymous seemed to be an organization composed of APTX4869 victims, and there shouldn't be such an old-looking member in it.
Having just taken the antidote, and coupled with the shock brought by the piece of paper with the letter "Z" drawn on it, Haibara Ai's body temperature was rising and her thoughts were becoming more and more mixed and confused.
She gradually became unsteady on her feet, gasping for breath, and a strange white gas like steam began to emerge from her body. Then, as her heart contracted violently, she felt her body, fingertips, and even every cell as if they were expanding violently, as if they were about to explode from the inside at any time.
Huibara Ai tightly grasped the piece of paper in her hand, let out a scream of pain from her throat, and fell to her knees against the wall.
…
One minute later.
Haibara Ai got up silently again and changed into cleaner's clothes without any incident.
...Although the antidote has not been tested on humans, it seems that the medicine she made is quite reliable. You will be fine as long as you can get through the period of change...but the physical sensation at that time was really terrible. I thought I was going to die.
Haibara Ai put on her clothes, looked at the bulletproof vest and the piece of paper in her hand with a complicated look, hesitated for a moment, put on the bulletproof vest, and kept the piece of paper close to her body.
Then she did not climb the chimney immediately, but walked quickly to the open computer on the table and typed a key casually.
The screen lights up, and a familiar interface appears on it.
…is the interface of the organization.
In this case, the person who arrested her should indeed be a member of the organization. And judging from the aged skin, that person is not Jiang Xia, not Gin, nor Gin's big follower... Considering that she only knows that there is a "Pisk" present, then anyway, just call him Pisk... Huiyuan Ai thought.
After confirming this, she did not waste time cracking the code. Instead, she hid her original children's clothes and quickly ran towards the chimney, ready to escape.
Without the interference of the uncomfortable state before the enlargement, Haibara Ai's mind was much clearer than before - time was pressing, no matter who brought her to the wine cellar, no matter whether Piske was from the organization, Anonymous, or an undercover sent by Anonymous to the organization... In short, the only fact that could be clearly seen now was that Anonymous put the bulletproof vest and the piece of paper representing their identity into the box.
The body armor is adult size.
If Anonymous was secretly observing the progress of the antidote, he would definitely know that she could turn back into an adult.
Combined with the chimney in the wine cellar here... this shows that the anonymous people seem to support her escaping through the chimney.
Using this method to help in a tactful way instead of coming out to rescue her directly, perhaps it was because Anonymous was inconvenient, or maybe... This was a test given to her by Anonymous, and if she passed it, he would have to accept her?
As soon as this thought popped up, it was like a spark hitting hay, suddenly magnifying it, making Haibara Ai feel that her confused future was suddenly illuminated.
——Pisk may not be caught by the police. Even if he is caught and put in prison, he may pass on information to the organization through certain channels.
The organization has information about Shirley from childhood to adulthood, including her childhood photos. Once the information about her shrinking is passed back to the organization, she will be hunted endlessly. Even if she escapes for a while, perhaps one day in the future, those bloodthirsty and terrifying crows will suddenly find the doctor's house and kill everyone.
But if you follow Anonymous... Anonymous has never shown any fear of the Black Organization, and they are well-informed about information and intelligence, often making people feel panic. In addition, they have a deep understanding of the organization and even know the existence of APTX4869.
On the other hand, the Anonymous' style of doing things seems to be very different from that of the Black Organization. As a mysterious organization, the Anonymous' methods are much gentler. In addition, they clearly know the location of Haibara Ai, but have never taken any measures that are unfavorable to her. In fact, perhaps considering her mood, they always send Xiaobai to contact her...
The more Haibara Ai thought about it, the more excited she became.
She subconsciously began to evaluate herself, trying to convince herself that she was worthy of this organization - she was a scientist and knew a lot about APTX4869 and drugs in related fields. As for some other unique requirements...
Haibara Ai thought about her own face when she saw it in the mirror and felt that she should be able to meet the standard.
After this thought came to her mind, her cheeks slightly turned red, and she felt a little ashamed. She had lived so long and thought that she could only make a living by her talent, but she didn't expect that in the end she would still have to rely on her face...
No, apart from her face, it probably depends on her will to survive, which may be one of the reasons why Anonymous did not show up to save her and only left her a bulletproof vest.
...If she performs well, will Anonymous want her?
Ai Huihara touched the rough inner wall of the chimney, took a deep breath, tried to support herself with her hands and feet, and slowly moved upwards.
Just as she got used to this strenuous posture, she suddenly, not knowing whether it was an illusion, seemed to hear the heavy sound of leather shoes hitting the ground in the quiet and empty corridor outside - it seemed that someone was walking towards this side step by step, and there was more than one person.
Haibara Ai suddenly remembered the computer on the table in the wine cellar that was suspected to be equipped with a transmitter. She held her breath and her hands and feet felt cold.
…
A few minutes ago.
After Haibara Ai woke up from the drugs and the police concluded their questioning of the seven people holding the purple handkerchiefs.
Gin's black Porsche finally crushed the snow and stopped on the nearby roadside.
He and Vodka got out of the car, slamming the door, and walked towards Beihu City Hotel with a clear goal in mind, dialing the phone.
However, no one answered the call.
Gin quickly put down his hand and put the phone back into his pocket. He walked through the shadows that were not illuminated by the street lights, and walked into the hotel door with a gloomy face and vodka.
At this time, the main hall and corridors of the hotel were still filled with reporters who wanted to get first-hand information.
The two men in black quickly and quietly passed by a group of people who were also dressed in black formal attire, and stopped in front of a quiet staircase.
Vodka looked at the light dot representing the location on the phone screen, then turned to look at Gin: "Boss."
The positioning is flat, but the building in front of you is three-dimensional.
Gin recalled the layout of the hotel, pondered for a moment, and walked down the stairs. He remembered that there was a rarely used wine cellar in the basement.
This was not actually in the organization’s plan.
But Gin felt that if Pisco came up with a Plan B, the wine cellar would be a good place to hide a body, or to move.
On the way to the wine cellar, Vodka checked his email again and reported: "They still haven't replied."
After a pause, Vodka made a guess mixed with personal opinions: "Could it be that Uzo killed Pisk? Pisk has always disdained to listen to our orders. Although you told him not to look for Uzo, what if he couldn't help himself..."
In his mind, Vodka compared the relatively old and incompetent Pisk with Uzo, whose killing method was beyond his comprehension and therefore seemed particularly strange and unpredictable. He felt that if the two really had a conflict, Pisk would most likely be dead.
Pisco is a veteran hero, and killing his Uzo will definitely not end well with the boss. In addition, for Gin, killing teammates who have done nothing wrong during a mission is an extremely irresponsible behavior of not prioritizing the mission and satisfying his own desires first. Big Brother hates this bad habit the most...Haha, go ahead, Uzo!
Vodka secretly cheered for Jiang Xia in his heart.
Gin glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth and ignored him.
Today's mission is very important, and he has said many times in advance that hunting is prohibited. Wuzo should know the limits.
And the most important thing is that Uzo's killing method is different from most people in the organization. There is a guiding process, which takes a certain amount of time. In addition, Uzo seems to like to pursue that kind of artistic effect. He will not let the target die dull and boring, especially for prey like Pisk, who deserves a fancy enough killing method.
Once this happens, the commotion in the hotel lobby will definitely be more than just the level just now.
In other words, Pisk should still be alive.
Since the two lost contact at the same time, the more likely scenario now is that something went wrong when Piske killed someone, and he was targeted by the police. Uzo was probably also found by the police, and is now acting as a detective solving the case, but he doesn't want to betray his teammates, so he has delayed it until now.
...Old waste.
Gin snorted in dissatisfaction.
…
The stairs going down aren't too long.
Before I could think of more possibilities, an old door with a log color appeared before my eyes.
Vodka glanced at the flashing signal dot on the screen and compared the location: "It should be in here."
Gin nodded and turned the doorknob.
The knob clicked, but the door wouldn't open - it was locked.
This wasn't too surprising. Gin stepped back and raised his chin towards Vodka.
Vodka immediately understood, put away his phone, shot the door lock, and then pushed the door open smoothly.
The wine cellar was not very big, and the two of them walked a few steps sideways and checked the entire room.
There was a small cart with empty cardboard boxes by the door.
Gin looked down and found a strand of Shirley's hair lying on the ground next to the cardboard box.
...We have found enough of Shirley's hair today. He did not pick up any more, but continued to look forward and saw the table in the middle of the room and Pisk's computer on the wooden table.
