Chapter 887 Attempting to Take Office
There happens to be a hospital nearby.
In addition, just now, under Vodka's command, a group of people called an ambulance first.
So the ambulance arrived faster than a group of police officers running towards the apartment on foot.
When the police arrived, the ambulance had already picked up Kaoru Kusano and was taking her for emergency treatment.
…
A few minutes ago, in Kaoru Kusano's apartment.
The injured have been sent away, and there is no serious detective in the house to solve the case. The group of people have nothing to do. When they called just now, the police asked them not to leave.
Finally, a group of people simply gathered at the door, anxiously waiting for the police to arrive.
Everyone has different reasons for being anxious.
Among them, Vodka was the most nervous.
Just now, when Hoshino Terumi called the police, he actually thought: why not leave secretly before the police arrive.
However, before he could slip away, an email came on his phone.
——Uzo seemed to have predicted his actions and sent a message:
[A righteous detective should not be afraid of the police, and the same goes for the detective's assistant.
Please fulfill your duty as a good citizen and assist the police in solving the case.]
Three Good Citizens Vodka: "..."
Although he felt that negative words such as "cunning", "shameless", and "no conscience" could all be applied to Uzo without any incongruity.
But I have to admit that in Vodka's impression: among those unlucky people who were plotted against by Uzo in the past, a considerable number of them were caught in the trap without any direct contact with Uzo.
"..." In other words, if Uzo wanted to harm someone, he would definitely not give direct orders in this way of "asking the other party to stay in the danger zone."
So, on the contrary, if you don't obey and resolutely go against Uzo's orders...
…
At that time, Vodka looked at the email sent by Jiang Xia on his mobile phone.
Then he looked at the door to the apartment that seemed to lead to freedom.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally stopped running.
——If he ignored Uzo's email and rushed out directly... Vodka thought, just in such a small apartment, facing these few not-too-cruel handsome men and beautiful women, he felt like he had stepped on the gates of hell countless times.
If he ran outside, the world would be so vast and there would be so many unexpected situations... What if he failed to dodge and died for some reason? At that time, Uzo could show the email he sent to the higher-ups and then say with regret, "I tried my best, but Vodka didn't listen to my advice," and put all the blame on the innocent dead Vodka...
"..." Vodka suddenly became angry when he thought that if he died, he would have to take the blame for Uzo.
He hesitated for a moment and sent an email to Gin to explain the current situation.
Then he decided to follow Uzo's instructions for the time being: this way, even if he was killed, at least the truth could be made public in the organization, and this little bitch would never have an easy time.
…
After making a desperate decision.
Vodka crossed his arms and imitated the others in the room, blending in with the crowd and implementing the "don't be alone" survival guide he had just summarized.
But soon, Vodka suddenly remembered the "Mr. Yamada" character that Uzoan had placed on him tonight...
Vodka: “…”
After hesitating for a moment, he separated himself from the crowd again and investigated the situation in the corridor in an orderly manner within everyone's sight, making himself look like what Jiang Xia called "an avid detective enthusiast and detective assistant."
——Since we have decided to carry out Uzo’s instructions, let’s just carry them out to the end.
…
The group of people waited for a while with different thoughts in their minds.
A few minutes after calling the police, the doorbell finally rang.
——The police and Jiang Xia arrived.
…
In the corridor.
Inspector Megure pressed the doorbell and someone in the house soon opened the door.
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki stood behind several policemen, tiptoed secretly, and looked into the house curiously.
After seeing the scene inside, both of them were stunned.
After a moment, they turned around, hugged each other excitedly, and screamed in a low voice: "So many stars!"
…
The entrance was a bit narrow, and there were quite a lot of people gathered here at this moment - there were five people inside the house, and outside the house, there was a group of policemen who were about to enter the house.
Conan and the other three "onlookers" were unable to get into the house for a while.
Conan was left outside the door. He tried to raise his head, but could only see the gaps between people's legs.
He estimated the difficulty of squeezing through between the legs, sighed, and stayed where he was.
At the same time, he prayed in his heart: I hope this group of people will not destroy the scene. Leave the scene intact so that it will be convenient for him to sneak in and investigate later... No, he should pray that Jiang Xia will solve the case slowly - not too slowly, just like the case just now, it only takes about ten minutes.
That way, the truth won't be revealed too late, and I can have a sense of participation in solving the case...
…
As Conan thought this, he felt very hopeless.
——The case just now was just a coincidence: As everyone knows, Jiang Xia can solve the case in seconds as long as he sees all the evidence. His observation and reasoning abilities in finding evidence are both terrifyingly strong.
Only when the evidence is not complete and is in a blind spot that is difficult to see, will Jiang Xia's speed of solving the case slow down slightly.
Just like the case just now - if we hadn't been lucky enough to see the contact lens in the murderer's trouser leg, it would have been really difficult to determine who was the murderer, Miss Kojima or Izumi Goo.
and……
Conan recalled how Miss Kojima clung to Jiang Xia with such familiarity, and thought that these two people seemed to be familiar with each other.
Jiang Xia is obviously not the cold-faced detective who "does not tolerate the law". He is greatly influenced by his acquaintances, and sometimes even shuts himself off and slacks off. Jiang Xia's speed in solving the case just now may have been slowed down by Miss Kojima. This gave the other detectives present a sense of participation.
But speaking of this...
Conan suddenly realized that the people involved in this throat-cutting case seemed to be Jiang Xia's acquaintances...
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly became much more energetic.
He rolled up his sleeves silently: Jiang Xia, have a good rest. Now it's Edogawa Conan's home court!
…
Conan couldn't squeeze through the door and didn't see Vodka for the time being.
But Miwako Sato noticed it at first glance.
Her professional instinct makes her very sensitive to all kinds of suspicious people.
And there seems to be a unique dark aura on the members of the organization - although Sato Miwako's radar is not as accurate as Haibara Ai's, it can still play a role to some extent.
…
As the detectives met with the people present one by one and asked about the situation.
Officer Sato listened in and secretly looked at Vodka.
She originally thought that her actions were covert enough.
Unexpectedly, after just two glances, the burly man in black suddenly turned his head and looked over, as if he was extremely wary and sensitive to gazes.
