Chapter 683 Offline
In an instant, a group of anonymous figures passed by in Conan's mind, holding anesthetic needles, sleeping pills, ether and other things in their hands... Among them, the most conspicuous was the little boy who always wore a scarf, looked and dressed very well, but had a bad habit of stabbing people with needles.
Conan remembered that the child called himself "Tanaka Shiro". "Tanaka" is a surname that often appears in textbook examples. It is probably fake, but "Shiro" is real... Speaking of which, the entire anonymous organization seems to love anesthetizing people. Even Huihara Ai, who has come into contact with them, likes to carry anesthesia needles with her. Conan also accidentally saw Huihara Ai wiping the needle tube alone when no one was around. Her movements were gentle, and there was a strange sense of happiness in her eyes, as if she felt at ease after integrating into a powerful collective. So this time... who is anesthetizing him again?
Conan used his remaining thoughts to make inferences instinctively. Judging from the height, he first ruled out Xiaobai. In addition, the hand covering his mouth was obviously not a child's hand, but a woman's hand, with very white skin, slender and soft.
The dark ornaments on the opposite side reflected light. When Conan was struggling, his eyes accidentally passed over it and vaguely saw a familiar long skirt... Sonoko? !
Conan was confused at first, but then he realized: No, no matter how you think about it, Sonoko can't possibly join the Anonymous organization. Even she wanted to join but was ruthlessly rejected, how could she... No, no, that's not the point.
The point is, this is a fake Suzuki Sonoko. She was disguised as someone else.
Conan has only seen a few people who can disguise themselves. There are only his mother and Kidd. And... that mysterious woman who pretended to be an English teacher at school and lured Jiang Xia into the hotel!
Among these three people, if Kudo Yukiko wanted to go with them, she wouldn't need to disguise herself at all.
And Kidd... There are no gems or magic shows nearby, and no one has impersonated Kidd to commit a crime, so let's rule that out first.
Adding other factors, no matter how you think about it, the woman who showed interest in Jiang Xia is the most suspicious... What does she want to do? ! Boss Amuro's problems haven't been solved yet, and there are more dangerous guys. What's going on with Jiang Xia's physique that attracts scumbags...
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Conan's mind.
Then, as the anesthetic took full effect, he reluctantly fell silent.
"Suzuki Sonoko" didn't know how many thoughts flashed through the child's mind as he struggled.
She looked at Conan, who had finally stopped moving in her arms, and breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Then there was a bit of confusion.
...Cool guy obviously doesn't smoke or drink, but I didn't expect him to have a strong resistance to anesthetics. It took him so long to completely faint. Is it congenital?
Almost a missed dose.
She put away the handkerchief she used to commit the crime, tucked her falling hair behind her ears in confusion, and thought for a moment, but could not come up with any result.
Finally he shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and took Conan away.
And he secretly decided that before the mission was over, he would never let Cool Guy appear in front of the dangerous Bourbon again.
The way cool guy was next to the corpse just now was really frightening. Bourbon was still there at that time. Conan obviously ignored the surrounding environment when he encountered a case. He was not afraid of seeing corpses at all, and his thinking was not like that of a child at all... Fortunately, Jiang Xia was next to him, so at least he could use excuses like "Conan has seen many corpses with Jiang Xia so he has resistance" to cover up the abnormality just now.
...Thinking about it, Jiang Xia deliberately picked up the evidence on the ground just now. Could it be that it was because he found that the cool guy was too serious when observing the corpse, and because of the mutual admiration between the detectives, he didn't want to interrupt him, so he planned to use the blood-stained notebook to divert Bourbon's attention in advance?
It's really not easy for Jiang Xia to take care of a "child"... He is only one year older than Xinyi, and he is still a child himself.
As Vermouth thought about it, she bypassed the hall where Bourbon was, walked towards the stairs from the path, and prepared to put Conan down.
The partition wall used to divide the space was inlaid with narrow glass. When passing by there, Vermouth turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xia who was standing next to Bourbon in the hall, and sighed in his heart.
If possible, she really hopes that Jiang Xia is just an ordinary high school student, living a peaceful but happy life... Unfortunately, it's not possible.
Unless Jiang Xia keeps his talent completely hidden and becomes a mediocre person like he did before, he can only step onto the stage of the organization. This is the sadness of being born into the organization. She understands it very well.
…
Separated by a wall, Jiang Xia didn't quite understand Belmode's sorrow, but he found that the murderous aura of apple flavor next door seemed a little strange, with a hint of adult-flavored alcohol brewed in the clear fruity aroma... Hmm? The taste actually changed?
Jiang Xia glanced at the source of the murderous aura of the cider with a little surprise, but Vermouth did not stay for too long. When Jiang Xia looked over, he could only see the dim light in the corridor through the glass on the wall.
"..." Jiang Xia retracted his gaze and turned to look at the mermaid who was happily floating towards him.
The mermaid had just brought back a new murderous aura from Vermouth, and was wrapping it around her body like a ribbon, swaying in the air to imitate the flying figure in the mural.
When passing by Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia raised his hand while adjusting his collar, skillfully pulled the murderous aura away from her, and looked at her carefully.
The murderous aura that was wrapped around her was suddenly taken away, and the mermaid spun in the air for several circles like a spinning top. After she stopped dizzily, she was stunned for a moment, and it seemed as if an angry "#" popped out from above her head, baring a pair of sharp fangs, and pounced back with a roar.
Jiang Xia let go of her hand and didn't fight with her again. That would be too much of a move and would be easily noticed.
Moreover, he had already completed the observations he wanted to make - if he got closer, he would find that the nature of Vermouth's murderous aura had not changed, it had only become denser and more intense, so the smell of wine that was too light before began to accumulate and emerge... But this was not important, as both the apple and the wine were edible anyway, as long as they did not transform into the smell of formaldehyde or disinfectant.
At this time, Mao Lilan's cell phone started ringing and there was a call.
Xiaobai skillfully leaned over, sat on her shoulder, and listened with her.
The call was from "Suzuki Sonoko".
Vermouth disguised herself as Suzuki Sonoko's voice and said that she found Conan sleeping on the seat next to the vending machine. She also said that she had taken the little brat back to the room and asked Mouri Ran to come back to look after him because she didn't know how to take care of the child.
Ran Mao Li was startled. She looked around with her phone and found that Conan was indeed missing. She didn't know when he slipped away.
