Chapter 822 Polite Audience
The dim light in the rooftop restaurant and the obstruction of the guitar by other parts took Vermouth a few seconds to determine the shape of the strange object in the guitar from the flashbacks in her mind.
——She actually saw half a finger in the guitar.
...long human fingers.
Vermouth: “?!”
…
At this time, Mao Lilan had followed Nakamura Yusuke to the stairs leading to the interior of the building.
Vermouth rested her hands on the table, resting her chin on it. She looked at Nakamura Yusuke's back with a dark look in her eyes.
Vermouth was sitting at the table watching the drummer, and the ghost who was watching the drummer was leaning on Jiang Xia's shoulder and looking at her. Next to her, the mermaid who was originally looking at Nakamura Yusuke suddenly moved her nose and turned to look at Vermouth.
Then he approached, wagging his tail happily.
——The apple flavor suddenly became much stronger.
Just now, the murderous aura on Vermouth was very faint.
Especially after reuniting with Conan and his crew, it became less and less intense.
The ghosts quickly snatched away all the surface murderous aura they could, muttered and condemned the thin murderous aura today, and unanimously agreed that the next time the psychic master came to visit the Big Apple, he could use a different guise and hide his real body farther away.
...Who knew that now, the ghosts were surprised to find that the Vermouth, who was as bland as water just now, suddenly became delicious.
…
Vermouth knew nothing about the ghosts hanging on her, but she felt a little heavy in her heart.
She looked at Mao Lilan who disappeared from the roof and went down into the building. She no longer had the leisurely mood she had just had watching the show, and her mind was racing.
——Cool guy was still concentrating on getting snacks from the children's meal area. Otherwise, he would have followed Angel over there. If anything happened, the two of them could take care of each other.
But now, only Angel went there. And the reason why cool guy went to get snacks seemed to be that Uzo had finished the potato cakes on his plate... Vermouth suddenly recalled Uzo's seemingly natural little action of constantly taking snacks from his companions, and her heart suddenly felt cold. Did Uzo deliberately send cool guy away?
...What does he want to do? !
Thinking of Kogoro Mouri who was targeted just now, and then looking at Angel now.
Vermouth's eyes were complicated, and she even began to suspect that at some point without her knowledge, Angel had done something cruel like tap dancing on Uzo's bottom line, which led to the destruction of Uzo's entire family.
...but that should be impossible.
Vermouth compared herself.
——People like Uzo, who were pulled back from the brink of death by Angel and Cool Guy like her, and who are residents of the dark world, should treasure this rare ray of light.
And Xiaolan would not do that kind of thing. She is not even like a cool guy who likes to ask people questions. There should not be such a "family-destroying" conflict between Uzo and her.
In comparison...
Vermouth was suddenly startled and thought of another possibility.
——Perhaps Usa had already noticed that "Vermouth's attitude towards Mouri Ran and Kudo Shinichi was not right", but he had been holding it back until today, when he took advantage of this chance encounter to start testing her?
"..."If that's the case, then from the very beginning, their gathering together today was not a so-called "chance encounter".
Vermouth remembered that when the two met for the first time, she went to Uzo to ask about Cool Guy's situation and called Angel using Uzo's cell phone.
Although at that time, Vermouth got Uzo drunk in advance under the guise of "finding fault with Gin"...but now that she thinks about it, her opponent is a terrifying genius, there is no guarantee that there won't be some mistakes that will cause Uzo to notice the problem.
Vermouth: "..."
...We have to try it out.
She withdrew her gaze from the entrance to the rooftop restaurant, took a sip of wine, and asked casually, "Is the play about to begin?"
Uzo followed suit and took a sip of his Coke, saying casually, "Maybe. Just watch."
"..." Vermouth thought of the drummer just now. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the other party was not a good person, and his murderous aura increased.
But think about her Angel's fighting power...
I barely suppressed my anxiety.
Vermouth thought that Uzo would not kill people casually... Even if he did, at least Angel was not on the "casual" list.
What she needs to do now is to believe in the friendship between the children and keep calm.
…
Two seconds later.
Vermouth put down the huge beer cup, picked up the napkin and wiped his lips, then stood up naturally: "I drank a little too much tonight... I'm going to the bathroom."
…It was all because of Gin and Vodka who had been scaremongering her for a long time. She was not sure whether she would take action against Uzo or who she would take action against…
Genius is hard to guess.
Young criminal geniuses who have no bottom line, regard human life as worthless, and like to pursue novelty and excitement are even more so.
And Vermouth had never met that drummer before - who knows if Yusuke Nakamura is some hidden martial arts master, or if he carries an electric shock device or something like that.
Also, with Angel's simple personality, even if the drummer's force value is 0, as long as he hands Angel a cup of sleeping pills while signing, she will probably just drink it happily and won't think there is any problem.
…
In addition, Vermouth thought about what she had said just now, questioning Uzo about the "drama", and felt that even if she wanted to go over and take a look, it would actually make sense.
——A mystic like her would of course be a little curious about other people's secrets. Running to watch Uzo's play up close was just a normal expression of curiosity.
This would certainly increase Wu Zuo's suspicion of her, but it certainly would not be decisive evidence. In comparison, it was more important to avoid a murder - she didn't dare to gamble with Angel's life.
Vermouth left the table with a natural pace and a tense mood.
Jiang Xia saw that she was about to leave and thought that she probably wanted to find Mao Lilan.
Thinking of the handsome personality that Vermouth had given to "Uzo" without authorization, Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said casually, "Don't mess with me."
"Of course, I'm not a rude audience member like Gin." Vermouth smiled at him, "I just don't want to sit in the mediocre audience seats. I can't help but want to go to the VIP seats to enjoy it up close."
Uzo seemed to have no problem with her behavior and made a "whatever" gesture.
Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief silently and left at a seemingly leisurely pace.
…
After everyone at the table left, only Jiang Xia was left.
Conan came back with a large plate of snacks.
He stood on tiptoe to put the loaded tray on the table and then jumped onto the stool himself.
Then he looked at the two empty seats in confusion and asked Jiang Xia: "Where are Xiaolan and...that person?"
Jiang Xia reached out and naturally dragged a plate of snacks from his tray: "I'm going to ask the band for an autograph."
