Chapter 835 It's All Your fault
Vermouth sighed silently.
——Uzo's thoughts are too hard to understand, and his behavior is always hard to figure out. No wonder Gin and Vodka's speculations about him are always so exaggerated that people think they are over-interpreting.
However, it seems that this behavior is understandable now: facing an elusive genius, anyone would have some curiosity or sense of crisis, especially those who are outside the law and need to act with extra caution.
Since we have to deal with Wuzo, we must try to define Wuzo's possible upper and lower limits. Only by anticipating it in advance can we take measures in a timely manner when some extreme situations occur - facing such a young man who can take other people's lives silently and is still growing, it is necessary to be cautious.
…
beside.
Jiang Xia, who was being carefully speculated by Vermouth, actually didn't think about anything at the moment. He was just playing with his phone to pass the time.
All he had to do was stay nearby to prevent Kogoro Mori from being thrown into the river by Sayuri Shimamura in the blink of an eye.
After all, Uncle Maori is a nice person. He has many good classmates, good drinking buddies, good gambling friends, colleagues, friends, etc. Jiang Xia really wants to be friends with those friends of his, and Maori Kogoro is undoubtedly a suitable bridge.
As for whether Shimamura Sayuri had any murderous intentions, Jiang Xia certainly didn't need to keep staring at her.
——At this distance, let alone ghosts, even he could clearly smell the changes in the murderous aura on the other party.
At present, it seems that Shimamura Sayuri does have some thoughts of silencing the witness, but she is always wavering - people's minds are inherently complex and changeable, not to mention the current situation, which is indeed worth worrying about for Shimamura Sayuri:
Killing Kogoro Mori is certainly the most reliable way to silence her, but Kogoro Mori had no grudge against her, and such a tall man could not be lifted or crushed, so it would be very troublesome to deal with the body.
Compared to that, it would be better to let him live and get an alibi from him. In Sayuri Shimamura's impression, Maori Kogoro has always been a rather confused person, and seems to be easily deceived by beauty. Now he happens to be drunk and very easy to deceive. It would be better to use him as a tool to create an alibi.
Compared to silencing, the latter civilized and simple method, although a little less safe, is actually more favored by Sayuri Shimamura.
Sayuri Shimamura is wavering between "confidentiality" and "convenience".
This caused her murderous aura to surge out from time to time, and then slowly loosen up after she thought rationally, and then couldn't help but surge out again, and loosen up again...
Jiang Xia simply treated it as a ghost-chasing exercise after dinner, so that a few bored ghosts could find something to do.
Although there was a Vermouth right next to her.
But since leaving the last crime scene, as the two were alone, the murderous aura on Vermouth inevitably faded slowly. Even if there were occasional flashes in the middle, it was no longer enough for the ghosts to grab, so they could only play with Shimamura Sayuri.
…
Under Vermouth’s silent “watching”.
Next to the car in front.
Kogoro Mouri happily drank the drink handed to him by Sayuri Shimamura.
Then after a while he collapsed on the seat and fell asleep snoring.
After taking a nap for more than ten minutes, Sayuri Shimamura woke him up at the right time.
The two chatted for a while and continued driving on the road.
…
After they left.
Jiang Xia sat in Belmode's sports car and started the engine, but he did not catch up with the person in front.
He reviewed the map, changed the route, and walked slowly back to Beika Town.
Then he found a cafe that was still open next to his house and took Vermouth in.
…
During the journey, Vermouth said nothing and just followed him like a tourist following a tour guide, looking quite relaxed.
The two found a seat by the window and sat down, and the fragrant coffee was served.
Vermouth held the porcelain cup in her hand to warm it, and glanced silently around, but she did not see anyone or anything related to Kogoro Mori or Sayuri Shimamura.
Then look at Uzo who is holding the drink menu across from you and looking at you intently.
Vermouth tapped the cup with her fingertips for a moment and silently swallowed the words "And then?"
“…” Wu Zuo definitely didn’t bring her here to drink coffee, but for some other purpose.
As for what he is going to do specifically...
If Uzo wanted to say it, he would have said it long ago.
But now he has remained silent. Even if I ask him, I will probably just hear a headache-inducing answer like "Guess" just now.
...Speaking of which, Vermouth suddenly thought that Uzo's annoying accent was quite similar to Bourbon's. Could it be that he was infected by that bastard during the few days he was away on business?
Tsk, there are too many messed up people in the organization. Uzo already has a lot of problems, if he learns some troublesome habits because of his excellent learning ability...
I don't know when the snow started falling outside the window.
Vermouth took a look at the beautiful scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, closed her eyes, and decided to put these troubles behind her for the time being. Anyway, she didn't have any useful solutions at the moment, so there was no point in thinking about it.
She took a breath silently and exhaled slowly. Then she picked up the coffee and took a sip elegantly, making herself as comfortable and peaceful as Uzo across from her.
…
They sat opposite each other in harmony for more than ten minutes.
Vermouth put down the empty cup and finally couldn't help but speak.
She played with her newly painted nails and didn't mention the bet. She just asked casually, "It's really boring to sit here all the time. If it's still early, why don't you do something else first - what are your plans next?"
Across the table, Jiang Xia heard her talking and finally looked away from his phone screen.
Just then the waiter approached with a tray.
When Vermouth heard the footsteps, she stopped talking. Her body, which had been slightly leaning forward, leaned back on the chair and paused the conversation.
However, on the other side, Uzo did not seem to have the idea of "keeping the subsequent conversation between the two cadres confidential."
He was not afraid of being heard by the waiter next to him, and asked Vermouth naturally: "What are your plans next?"
Vermouth: “……?”
There was a slight clicking sound.
The waiter put down the juice, took away the empty cups, bowed and left. He didn't think there was anything wrong between the two people - from what he just said, their conversation was quite normal.
After the waiter walked away, Jiang Xia looked at Vermouth again.
This time, he finally had some awareness of being the "mysterious man in black". He lowered his voice and smiled at the person across the table: "Of course, you have the final say on tonight's schedule - you must be over 20 years old with this identity, right? I saw your fake ID when I bought the wine.
"Adults must of course take on adult responsibilities. How can you ask others for your travel arrangements?"
