Chapter 843 The blame is firmly on me. More chapters to the leader [Forget my future]
It is common for people to fight back in anger after being threatened.
Amuro Toru had seen many similar cases, so he simply listened and didn't take it too seriously.
At this time, his attention had shifted to "Miss Takenaka" next to him.
——The disguise that Vermouth chose today is suitable for going to bars and also for visiting night markets.
But standing here at this moment, her outfit really doesn't fit in with the people here.
Although Miss Takenaka had wrapped her coat tightly to cover her tattered shirt with holes everywhere because of the cold on her back, her fishnet stockings and thick-soled boots still stood out among the people in formal suits or ordinary uniforms.
Toru Amuro had already noticed her when he was still recounting his experience.
And Toru Amuro gradually found that the way this woman looked at him from the side... he always felt that he had seen her somewhere before. Plus her tall stature and the malicious aura that was unique to the organization.
Toru Amuro's mind suddenly lit up and he suddenly had a guess about the identity of this "Miss Takenaka".
...Could this be Vermouth?
Toru Amuro: "..."
...If that was the case, he probably knew why Jiang Xia suddenly fell asleep at the crime scene - it must be that Vermouth took the opportunity to give her sleeping pills or an anesthetic injection. After all, this woman was not the first time to do such a thing. Amuro Toru remembered that she had a history of abducting Jiang Xia not long after she came to Japan.
"You haven't given up yet." Amuro Toru walked to the side of "Ms. Takenaka", showing a malicious smile with a hint of provocation, and whispered, "Haven't you learned enough from the last lesson?"
His intuition told Toru Amuro that he had not recognized the wrong person.
…Even if it is wrong, it is just a sermon that sounds insignificant, and no one knows what he is referring to specifically. Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t will just be confused.
——Tōru Amuro still remembers the last time Vermouth took Jiang Xia to the hotel.
At that time, Toru Amuro thought that after he arrived at the door, he would see the scene of "Jiang Xia struggling to survive in the hands of the evil female cadre."
But when he found the place, he only saw Vermouth handcuffed in the house with a urinal beside her, her clothes disheveled, and she looked miserable... If Jiang Xia hadn't carelessly left her one hand free, allowing Vermouth to contact the organization with her cell phone in advance, Amuro Toru thought, this mysterious woman might have been locked up in the public security interrogation room.
...Come to think of it, after that incident, Toru Amuro was once worried that Vermouth would take the opportunity to take revenge on Jiang Xia.
But it didn't happen.
Instead, Vermouth showed a bit of abnormal interest in Jiang Xia... However, just when Toru Amuro thought she had given up, this guy secretly made a move again.
…and it seemed almost successful.
…
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro glanced at Jiang Xia who was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the corner.
Although I don't know what exactly happened tonight, but looking at the current scene, I can almost guess it - it's probably that Vermouth used her old tricks again, disguised herself and came to get close to Jiang Xia, put sleeping pills in Jiang Xia's drinking water, and planned to secretly move him back to her nest after he fell asleep.
However, before the drug took effect, the two happened to be involved in a "home robbery and murder" incident.
Not only did they meet the police, but they also met Jiang Xia's acquaintances, and Vermouth's conspiracy failed.
...Toru Amuro is so familiar with this process of "chance encounter + acquaintance" that he can imagine the scene with his eyes closed.
Some unpleasant and exhausting memories came flooding back to his mind like a tide. Amuro Toru pressed his forehead in an unnoticeable manner, unwilling to recall these past events and focusing on the present.
...In short, at present, although Jiang Xia's event constitution is troublesome, it sometimes has miraculous effects. At least it can protect him from the murderous hands of some women with bad intentions.
——Look, Vermouth is now gloomy and in a bad mood, probably because her plans were disrupted by a sudden case.
…
On the opposite side, Vermouth, who was being spoken to, looked up at Amuro Toru, then sneered and looked away.
…She was too lazy to argue with this person who still couldn’t see Uzo’s true nature.
Vermouth was not too surprised when Bourbon recognized her.
From the time Toru Amuro entered the house until now, she had never bothered to hide this fact - anyway, now, in the eyes of many people, the identity of "Ms. Takenaka" has already made her a suspicious person who intends to do something wrong, so it wouldn't matter if one more Bourbon recognized her.
…
The two cadres were talking in a low voice with a hint of hostility.
A little further away, a pair of eyes hidden behind a pair of glasses were staring at them quietly.
Conan pushed his glasses and fell into deep thought: Boss Amuro actually knows Miss Takenaka?
Given Toru Amuro's identity as a private detective and his part-time work in various industries, it is not surprising that he knows all kinds of people.
What was strange was his reaction after arriving at the scene...
——Conan thought, no matter what, Jiang Xia is also an employee of Amuro Toru. And Amuro Toru must know how hardworking Jiang Xia is.
But now, seeing such a diligent employee sleeping on the sofa and slacking off... any normal person would come over to check out the situation out of curiosity or worry, but Toru Amuro actually looked away quickly after taking a glance, as if he didn't see Jiang Xia.
This is very unnatural.
In Conan's eyes, it was a case of "guilty conscience".
In addition, there is Miss Takenaka who seems to know Toru Amuro...
Conan: "..." What on earth do these two people want to do? Are they in cahoots?
After reviewing the whole process, Conan was sure that "Ms. Takenaka" seemed to be targeting Jiang Xia. However, her sinister plan was disrupted by the sudden murder and their acquaintances in Jiang Xia.
——Conan remembered that more than ten minutes ago, Jiang Xia was attracted by a police car and walked out of a coffee shop.
At that time, Miss Takenaka was a few beats behind in catching up and seemed to be in a bad mood.
... Come to think of it, if she was planning to use sleeping pills to knock Jiang Xia out and then secretly take him away, then Jiang Xia's actions at that time meant that her plan had been aborted - there were police officers all around, as well as Jiang Xia's neighbors, and even if Jiang Xia really fell asleep, it would not be Miss Takenaka's turn to take him away anyway.
...On the other hand, if there hadn't been this sudden murder, how would things have developed?
Conan just felt that he understood something, and a word popped up in his mind - "attempted kidnapping".
"……" After the case is over in a while, I have to use Kudo Shinichi's identity and ask Inspector Megure to help investigate this "Ms. Takenaka".
