Chapter 818 What do you want to do?
Thinking of this, Vermouth looked towards the stage.
Looking at the drummer who knew nothing about his own fate, her eyes were deep, as if her sight passed through that person and saw into the distant future.
——People like her and Wu Zuo who are in the dark are different from Angel and Cool Guy after all… Although at present, Cool Guy only looks at her with vigilance and doesn’t think there is anything wrong with “Jiang Xia” next to him. But in the long run, this will surely be a tragedy.
Uzo's situation was somewhat similar to hers, which made Vermouth feel vaguely moved.
She silently put down the empty glass in her hand, pushed it away, stood up and patted Jiang Xia beside her: "Let's go, go and pick some food with me."
Jiang Xia was slapped by her and also withdrew his gaze from the stage, looking at her with a slight doubt.
Then he nodded, stood up, and walked towards where the buffet was placed.
…
Vermouth got some dessert and drank a glass of draft beer.
Then she picked up the wine glass, stood up and looked around, and found that Wu Zuo had walked to the edge of the rooftop and was looking down. This was the top floor, and the young cadre looked at the bottom of the building in silence, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the abyss.
Vermouth looked at the lonely figure, sighed inwardly, and walked over with the wine glass in hand.
——While it’s still dark and there are few people here, give Uzo a few sips to comfort your conscience. It shouldn’t be discovered by the store employees.
…
However, just as he walked to the side of Jiangxia.
Without waiting for a reply, Vermouth paused.
"..." At this time, she could see Wu Zuo's expression clearly, and she found that Wu Zuo did not seem "lonely" at all. Instead, he showed the kind of eyes she had seen several times - the kind of expectant look at the "actor" he had chosen.
Vermouth: "..."
Another one?
She drank the wine in her hand silently. She muttered to herself about how diligent Wu Zuo was in this regard. At the same time, she followed Wu Zuo's line of sight and looked over with a little curiosity: I wonder which unlucky guy Wu Zuo is targeting this time... Hmm? ?
...Moori Kogoro? !
Vermouth's face changed slightly, and she felt as if she accidentally stepped on empty air when going down the stairs, and her heart suddenly hung in the air.
At this time, on the street below the building, under the illumination of street lamps and store door lights, Maori Kogoro can be seen walking arm in arm with an uncle of the same age. Both of them look very drunk.
Vermouth looked at Uzo, then at the two men, then back at Uzo...
After a careful comparison, she confirmed it.
——Usa’s dangerous and expectant gaze fell right where Maori Kogoro was.
Vermouth: "..." Maori Kogoro is Angel's father. According to her previous speculation, Wu Zuo cares about Angel and Cool Guy, so he shouldn't suddenly attack Maori Kogoro... Maybe Wu Zuo is actually targeting the uncle next to Maori? - The two people are so close, and they are hugging each other. At this distance, it is really difficult to distinguish the specific location of Wu Zuo's sight.
While Vermouth was thinking this hopelessly.
Under the building.
Kogoro Mouri and his uncle friend walked to the street and hailed a taxi.
Then my friend got in, closed the door with a click, and the taxi drove away.
Kogoro Mouri did not go with them. He stood on the street drunk and waved goodbye to his friends in the taxi - the reunion cocktail party for the two uncles seemed to be over.
"..." Vermouth looked at the car driving away, then looked at Jiang Xia.
Then he noticed that Uzo's gaze did not move with the taxi that was moving away.
But it still stays on Kogoro Mori.
Vermouth: “……?”
…
At the foot of the building.
Kogoro Mori, who had already had a round of drinks, was oblivious to the gaze coming from above him.
He yawned drunkenly, reached into his pocket and fumbled around for a while, took out his cell phone, and tried to turn it on to check the time.
However, after pressing for a long time, the phone screen still did not light up.
Maori Kogoro touched the back of his head in confusion, and then he slowly remembered that he forgot to charge his phone before going to bed yesterday. Not long ago, his phone ran out of power and turned off automatically.
"..." Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to raise his head and look at the dark sky. He estimated the time with his alcohol-paralyzed brain and it seemed that it was already very late.
Although he remembered that the children were eating nearby, Maori Kogoro tried hard to think about which restaurant they had just gone to. He simply stopped caring about it and staggered towards the station, intending to go home and rest first.
…
On the top of the building, at the edge of the newly opened rooftop restaurant.
Jiang Xia watched Maori Kogoro walk to the station, and recalled the murderous aura he had caught in the apartment near Beihua Middle School when he was leaving.
He had some impression of this case, and according to Kogoro Mouri's current route and his usual behavior after being drunk, Kogoro Mouri might have accidentally run into that case.
…
Vermouth was secretly pondering the situation.
Suddenly, I heard Usa looking at Maori Kogoro's back and muttering, "It's the perfect time to go back, and my phone is out of battery..."
He rested his elbows on the railing, as if thinking about something. He paused for a moment, probably thinking it through, and suddenly smiled faintly, but didn't say anything else.
“……” The more Vermouth looked at it, the worse it felt.
She rubbed the wine glass subconsciously with her fingers, and muttered in her heart: Did Wu Zo really not even let Angel's father go?
It can't be that just now, Mouri Kogoro also helped Angel and the others to stop Usa from going to the bar, so he is holding a grudge against him... In Usa's heart, Mouri Kogoro's status is probably far inferior to that of Cool Guy and Angel.
However, Vermouth thought rationally and quickly realized that, judging from what Uzo had just said, even if Maori Kogoro was really related to a "murder drama" arranged by Uzo, this drunk uncle was not the protagonist of the play, but more like a passerby who was accidentally involved.
However, judging from the interest shown by Usa just now, even if Kogoro Mori joins as a "guest role", the role or "role" he will play in the future case... I'm afraid it won't be as easy as a guest role.
Vermouth: "..." Please don't let it be a "surprise" like a guest appearance of the deceased or the second murderer. According to her research when she first came to Japan, Usa was indeed good to Angel and Cool Guy, but to Maori Kogoro...
Vermouth had not focused on investigating this aspect, and now that she suddenly encountered this situation, she was really unsure.
