Chapter 660 Belmode feels that it is not possible to ask for a monthly ticket (づど)
“…”
The woman, or rather, Vermouth who was disguised as a passerby, after finally seeing the two names, couldn't help but abandon her image as a passerby and showed a look mixed with vigilance and dissatisfaction towards the latter name.
Then she turned back to the latest page and wrote a fake name.
Then he closed the account book, handed it back to the front desk, and waited for the other party to respond.
"Well, actually, something happened..." The receptionist was worried that the guest might run away, so she processed the check-in procedure at N times the speed.
He waited until the formalities were completed before he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced in the direction of the commotion, and shared the melon he had eaten during the delay:
“To be honest, unfortunately, a murder case occurred here—a high school detective hanged himself.
"He's very famous. You should have heard of him. He's Jiang Xia from Tokyo..."
"……?"
The clerk originally wanted to act like a storyteller, keeping the customer in suspense and then suddenly turning the story around to surprise the customer.
But for some reason, the more I talked about it, the colder my spine felt.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion: although the woman at the counter has a calm expression and even has a charming smile on her lips, I always feel that her aura has suddenly become very scary... Well, maybe she is angry that the clerk didn’t tell her earlier that there was a murder in the store?
Shop assistant: “…”
This lady looked cheerful and outgoing, not like someone who was sensitive and afraid of murder. I didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and her momentum was also unusually fierce...
He thought of how he had just cheated the customer and shuddered in fear.
I didn't dare to keep the topic secret any longer, and just like when I was checking in, I spoke at a much faster speed, just to finish the topic I started, so that I could end it and send the person away:
"When the police arrived, they found out that the person who 'hanged' was actually an imposter - the high school student detective was not actually in his room last night, but in the room of his boss who came with him. The person who died was a person who looked very similar to him.
“In addition, the murderer was one of our employees. A peeping Tom sneaked into Jiang Xia’s room and installed a hidden camera. However, he failed to capture Jiang Xia, but instead captured the entire murder process.
"Originally, the case should have been easy to solve. Who would have thought that the murderer would deny that he had killed anyone and insisted that a mysterious person had asked him to play a 'murder game'... Sigh, although his character is not very good, the miserable state in which he was dragged back did not seem like something he could have done on his own. There must really be such a mysterious person..."
At the counter, Vermouth, who was filled with bad news, said: "..."
A few days ago, she discovered that Bourbon suddenly took Jiang Xia out and cut off Jiang Xia's external communication channels, and it was suspected that he and Uzo were testing each other, so she has been paying close attention to this.
Although Gin didn't seem to care much about this matter, Vermouth couldn't rest assured - what did Gin know? In the eyes of this bottle of real wine who had no discernment of people, Uzo was a member of the organization with a black background like him.
But in fact, Vermouth knew that Kudo Shinichi, who was shrunk by APTX4869, lived near Uzo. Uzo knew about this, but since it was related to the core secrets of the organization, he had no intention of reporting it to the organization. Instead, he took the initiative to help Conan and the others cover up...
In short, Uzo is not as dirty as other members of the organization, and there is still a clean place in his heart.
But for guys like Bourbon, the pure land in Uzo's heart is definitely a fatal flaw.
So, I'm just sitting around doing nothing.
The day before yesterday, after Vermouth had caught hold of Bourbon and Uzo's clear whereabouts, she finally couldn't help but figure out a way to get rid of a few FBI agents, took advantage of the chaos to leave Tokyo, and chased after them all the way.
…
Now it seems that her action was indeed correct.
Although I haven't figured out the situation yet, but...
…Why did someone commit suicide in the Uzo room?
...Who installed those hidden cameras?
...and the most important thing is - what are the "murder game" and "mysterious man" mentioned by the murderer?
"..." Uzo was undoubtedly a genius in using cases to kill people. Even if he made mistakes occasionally, they would only result in failed assassinations, and he would never reveal such obvious flaws after a failure.
And now, a murderer is shouting that a mysterious person is instructing him to kill people... This situation may have occurred because some despicable members of the organization, after hearing some rumors about "Uzo", made a poor imitation in order to conduct corresponding tests and obtain intelligence.
Although he didn't learn it at all, this incident is likely to cause trouble for Uzo.
We need to find out the details as soon as possible, and then...
As she pondered, she took the key handed to her by the front desk tremblingly and gave an elegant sneer.
…
When Shenbao Daxiong opened his eyes again, he had been picked up by a passing policeman and taken back to the reception room where he had just been.
The two policemen he attacked also came back and were now sitting nearby.
Compared to just now, the situation is completely reversed.
First of all, the police’s attitude towards the divine treasure Daxiong.
——Just now, a group of people were still skeptical about the tearful Shenbao Daxiong's words of "being threatened". But now, because he attacked the police, the two policemen who woke up one after another have confirmed that this is definitely not an honest and innocent citizen.
In addition, Jiang Xia actually had a new idea.
He looked at the dusty Shenbao Daxiong and fast-forwarded:
"The man in red who 'hanged himself' in the Toushen Forest should be related to you. Five years ago, the man in red told the innkeeper that he would be back soon to pick up the box, but he never showed up. When the police found the body of the man in red, the date on the receipt he carried was four years ago... This time difference is really strange, but combined with some information I just heard, many things have reasonable explanations. I heard that a year ago, you found a hanged corpse near here.
"So, it's possible that you transferred the receipt and related items from the stranger who committed suicide to the man in red, hoping to blur the time of the latter's death and make him 'die' during the time period when you have an alibi. Because of this, there are many inconsistencies in the physical evidence, which led the police to come here to investigate."
A group of policemen nodded continuously and glanced at Shenbao Daxiong quietly.
This bastard who attacked the police has already proved his harm to society with his actions. I don't know what excuse he is going to use to exonerate himself this time...
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Shenbao Daxiong grit his teeth and suddenly nodded: "Yes, I attacked the police, but I was just too scared at the time and instinctively wanted to run... and!"
He slapped his thigh and said angrily, "There is one thing I didn't lie about! That pervert really exists."
