Chapter 888 Conan: Vodka! Stay away from Jiangxia!
Miwako Sato: "...?"
...So alert?
Even more suspicious.
…
Since the secret observation had failed, Sato Miwako simply stopped doing it "secretly".
She decided to go directly over and ask about the situation directly.
But before he went to the vodka, Officer Sato suddenly remembered that on the way here, after a brief exchange, they confirmed that the calls Jiang Xia and the police received were about the same thing.
In other words, Jiang Xia also attended the party tonight.
Miwako Sato: “…” In that case, Jiang Xia might know this man in black.
Thinking so, before asking about vodka.
Sato Miwako turned to Jiang Xia first and whispered to collect clues: "Did you see this 'Mr. Yamada' before you left the party? Where did he come from?"
"Of course I have." Jiang Xia introduced, "This is the assistant I brought with me."
Miwako Sato: "...?"
The female police officer opposite me looked a little surprised and seemed to be very concerned about this matter.
Jiang Xia added considerately:
"Mr. Yamada is very famous in the fan circle and is very versatile. He is particularly good at information technology and has customized 3D models for many groups that want to make figures... Well, of course, this is not the point. The point is that he is a computer expert. In addition to being a fan of various idols, he is also a senior detective fan.
“A while ago, Mr. Yamada approached me and said he wanted to experience the real life of a detective.
"We have worked together several times in previous commissions. Mr. Yamada really did an excellent job.
"Tonight, Ms. Yoko happened to ask me out for something. The clients Ms. Yoko introduced to me were usually celebrities who were harassed or threatened. Times have changed. There are more online threats now, and some people even threaten to hack accounts. So I brought Mr. Yamada with me."
Sato Miwako: “…I see.”
…
As she listened, she looked at the vodka thoughtfully.
No matter how I looked at it just now, I felt that this "Mr. Yamada" didn't seem like a good person.
But now, after Jiang Xia said this, and took a closer look...
It seems quite simple.
Miwako Sato touched her chin and thought secretly: Maybe it’s just because Mr. Yamada is too tall and too strong, and he insists on wearing sunglasses so late at night, and always seems to be nervous... This is why he is associated with a "suspicious person" in her mind.
From another perspective, some of Mr. Yamada's "abnormal behaviors" can actually be explained as social phobia - as a tech geek, it's normal for him to have some weird habits. He may wear sunglasses to avoid looking at other people, and he is nervous because there are too many strangers around... Just now, I was a little too superficial. It seems that I still need to calm down and look for evidence seriously.
Thinking of this, Miwako Sato lessened her attention on Vodka and began to focus more on the corridor.
Jiang Xia also followed the police, looking around and paddling to collect clues from various routes.
…………
After the police entered Kaoru Kusano's apartment, they first calmed down the witnesses crowded in the corridor and made a simple registration of their names.
Then he invited people to the living room one by one and asked for details.
Other police officers went to the bathroom, while others collected evidence along the bloodstains in the corridor.
…
After a few minutes, the door was finally clear.
Click.
The door was pushed open from the outside and quietly opened a crack.
Two heads, one above and one below, appeared at the door, peeking inside.
——Suzuki Sonoko and Conan were obviously unwilling to stay outside the door like this.
They quietly opened the door and tried to sneak in and join in.
Behind the two of them, Mao Lilan was a little nervous and whispered to them.
But as a fan who likes all stars, thinking about the number of stars in this apartment at this moment...
Mao Lilan's blocking force inevitably appears particularly weak.
Finally, her remaining conscience finally succumbed to the thought of "I want to go in!"
After Suzuki Sonoko and Conan slipped into the door one after another, Mouri Ran also followed them quietly through the crack in the door.
…………
Although in the end, all three of them slipped into the crime scene.
But after all, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko are already high school students, and are relatively reserved.
After coming in, they didn't run around, but just stood carefully in the corner, looking around, intending to find Jiang Xia or a familiar police officer to talk to and integrate into the place.
Conan was not so reserved. He relied on his small stature and low presence to quietly slip past the police officers and sneak into the crime scene, with a set of movements that were more skillful than Amuro Toru's in stealing intelligence.
…
After Conan entered the house, he first observed the pile of things placed in the entrance.
Afterwards, he followed the blood trail to the bathroom and took a look at the crime scene.
Finally, I walked into the living room, ready to listen to the police questioning the witnesses present, as I had done before - this way I could get a lot of information.
…
Conan came to the door of the living room.
As he eavesdropped with his ears perked up, he looked at the witnesses present and couldn't help feeling a little surprised: there were so many celebrities.
When I counted them one by one, they were all familiar faces: Kinoshita Yoko, Takeno Yuki, Hoshino Terumi, Kenzaki Osamu, Volt...
Conan: “……?”
...Vodka??!
"..." Although Vodka's clothes had changed and he was no longer wearing that unique hat, there was no Gin with his unique long silver hair style next to him.
But before, Conan had often encountered the duo of Gin and Vodka in various places.
He had already memorized Vodka's appearance.
Conan: "..."...So why is there vodka here? !
He was stunned for a second by this explosive situation.
Then he suddenly recalled the conversation between Jiang Xia and Officer Sato that he had overheard while he was leaning against the door.
——At that time, the two mentioned a "Mr. Yamada".
Conan knew the other witnesses in the living room and knew their names roughly.
…Then the only vodka left is obviously the famous fan, "Mr. Yamada".
…
When Conan was eavesdropping on the conversation between Jiang Xia and Officer Sato just now, he really didn't think too much about it.
Although he did briefly ponder "Did Jiang Xia attract scum again?"... but Conan never expected that this time, Jiang Xia actually attracted such a huge scum - this was a cadre of that cruel organization!
...Jiang Xia, who on earth did you find as your assistant?
…
Suddenly seeing Vodka in the living room, Conan no longer had the mood to "eavesdrop closer and then pretend to be a smart kid to give the adults a hint."
Before Vodka's eyes swept here, he instinctively stepped back and returned to the corridor, his heart beating extremely violently.
