Chapter 670 Throwing the Blame on Each Other
Thinking of this, Vermouth suddenly remembered something and glanced at the others.
Besides Jiang Xia who refused to let her hug his arms, Angel and Cool Guy beside him also looked at each other with something strange in their eyes.
“…”
Vermouth realized her mistake a little late - Suzuki Sonoko had made some strange notes for Jiang Xia in her phone and saved a lot of his photos... but this infatuated girl had never taken advantage of him before?
...Is there also a Ye Gong who loves dragons more than men in the world of flower lovers?
"..." It seems that I still don't know Suzuki Sonoko well enough. Moreover, this incident happened suddenly, and I didn't prepare well enough beforehand. Tsk, I just held her for a short while...
Vermouth twisted her slender fingers, feeling a little regretful.
At the same time, he sneered in a way that fit the situation.
...Luckily, this is the location of a romantic TV series, surrounded by fiery red maple leaves. Girls of Suzuki Sonoko's age are easily infected by the romantic atmosphere. It's not unreasonable for her to get a little excited and do something that she wouldn't normally do...and it's just an arm around him, not pushing him down and then taking his clothes off. Her actions just now can still be considered as socializing between friends, and it shouldn't cause her to be exposed by cool guy and angel immediately.
While thinking, Vermouth observed secretly.
As expected, Mao Lilan did not realize that "this is a fake garden" and she considerately looked away, pretending not to have seen the slightly embarrassing scene.
Conan, relying on his childish appearance, continued to stare at this side, with a slightly thoughtful look. But according to Vermouth's understanding of him, he should have just noticed something was wrong and had not come to any clear conclusion, otherwise he would definitely ask tentative questions.
Seeing this, Vermouth felt relieved.
She naturally took a few quick steps, caught up with Jiang Xia, and walked side by side. She wanted to try one last time to see if Jiang Xia had discovered her identity. This would affect her next move.
Jiang Xia heard the approaching footsteps, turned around and looked at her, and seemed to have no objection to it.
Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that thanks to Suzuki Sonoko's lively personality, Jiang Xia did not recognize her. What she did just now was probably because she was not used to Suzuki Sonoko's enthusiastic physical contact.
Just when she relaxed, Jiang Xia suddenly moved away, and it was obvious that he was trying to avoid her.
Vermouth: “……?”
She looked at Jiang Xia carefully, and then found that he didn't look shy, he just simply didn't want to go with her.
"..." Vermouth sighed inwardly and understood the answer.
It seems that I have really been exposed in Jiangxia.
...The famous detective's observation skills really should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, this time it's just fun in our spare time, so it doesn't matter whether it's exposed or not.
In the future, if you have important business and need to disguise yourself near Jiangxia, you must pay attention to details.
In addition, it is best to choose someone Jiang Xia is not familiar with to play the role. If you choose someone close to him, it is easy for him to be exposed as soon as he relaxes his guard, just like now.
——Vermouth carefully wrote down the key points which were useless.
…
Jiang Xia was walking on the mountain road, feeling the murderous aura from Vermouth that was sometimes more and sometimes less. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Toru Amuro beside him.
Toru Amuro had also noticed their movements just now, and was looking over here with a slightly puzzled look.
Jiang Xia looked at Vermouth, then at Amuro Toru, and it seemed as if a light bulb suddenly lit up above his head.
The next second, he walked up to Amuro Toru, blocked other people's view with his body, and made a scissors hand gesture to Amuro Toru.
Toru Amuro: "?"
He was stunned at first, and almost replied subconsciously.
But then I remembered, looking at Jiang Xia's serious expression, this probably wasn't a scissor hand gesture like "Yeah", but it had other meanings, such as...
The letter V?
Vermouth?!
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro's eyes moved slightly and turned to "Suzuki Sonoko" who was staring at them quietly.
...Jiang Xia wanted to say, this person is Vermouth?
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru frowned slightly.
Jiang Xia was familiar with Suzuki Sonoko, and coupled with his overly keen observation skills and generally cautious character, the fact that he suddenly told him this meant that Jiang Xia should be quite sure of this conclusion.
This should be the truth - "Suzuki Sonoko" is Vermouth in disguise.
So...why is Vermouth here?
In addition, since Vermouth followed here, then the gloomy aura of the organization that I smelled in the inn in the Forest of the Head God this morning was also from Vermouth?
Based on this conjecture, many logical speculations suddenly emerged in Amuro Toru's mind:
Was Nobita, the divine treasure who “died suddenly”, killed by Vermouth?
And maybe Matsuda, whom he had suspected before, was just passing by the hotel and bravely beat up the divine treasure Nobita twice?
"..." With this, many things that seemed unreasonable before suddenly became clear.
——From Kazami’s experience, what can be confirmed at present is that the “mysterious man” who put the sacred treasure Nobita’s sack was none other than Matsuda whom he met in the Twilight Villa before.
In addition, in the Twilight Annex at that time, in addition to "Bourbon", there must be another organization cadre hiding who passed the message to the boss before "Bourbon", so Amuro Toru always felt that Matsu... Kurosawa Sa might be a member of the organization.
Therefore, when an unknown murder case occurred in the Toujin Forest, Toru Amuro immediately linked Kurosawa to the "murder of the sacred treasure Nobita."
But this connection has always puzzled Toru Amuro:
If Kurosawa Sawa wanted to kill someone, why didn't he kill and hide the body in a secluded villa in the middle of the night? Instead, he waited until the divine treasure Nobita fell into the hands of the police and was surrounded by a group of policemen before killing him?
In addition, there is a hunch that cannot be considered as evidence - Amuro Toru once sensed a strong aura of the organization at the Aoiya Inn in the Tougami Forest. But when he was with Matsuda in the Twilight Annex before, he did not have a similar feeling...
In short, if the one who killed the sacred treasure Nobita and brought the gloomy atmosphere was Vermouth, everything would be logical.
But at the same time, this raises new questions.
——Why did Vermouth kill the divine treasure Nobita?
Could it be related to the missing Ksitigarbha, or are there other keys that I haven't noticed yet?
“…”Anyway, although there is a new mystery, at least it was not Matsuda who killed the person.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru felt relieved. At present, apart from those identical little movements and body shapes, there is no evidence to prove that Kurosawa = his old classmate Matsuda Jinpei who was killed by the bomb. But it may be because they look too similar. Now that the blame for the murder has been shifted to Vermouth, Amuro Toru suddenly feels much better.
