Chapter 892: The Organization's Honey Trap
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko listened silently.
Hearing about the throat-slitting, the two couldn't help but raise their hands at the same time and touched their delicate necks. They were a little scared - when the owner of the house was having a party, he sneaked into the house to attack the lone people, committed the cruel crime and walked away... He was just like the legendary murderer, which made people shudder.
Conan recalled the bloodstains he saw on the road, but he didn't think the murderer was an outsider - it was more like an insider who committed the crime and then put the blame on a "passerby."
His lips moved and he was about to blurt out "How strange!"
But unfortunately...
Conan looked at Vodka who was mixed in with a group of suspects, and he sighed in his heart and swallowed his words silently: the evil organization members deprived him of the right to be a detective with dignity - in the eyes of the organization, "Kudo Shinichi" is already dead, and now they must maintain this illusion, otherwise they will usher in a catastrophe...
However, speaking of Kudo Shinichi's career as a detective...
Conan caught a glimpse of Jiang Xia standing beside him, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.
Conan: "..." Think about it carefully, if I hadn't become smaller, and Jiang Xia suddenly became interested in detective work. Then every time Jiang Xia solved the case in seconds at the crime scene, I would be standing by like an old ornament... Wouldn't that be more embarrassing? Just like Hattori who met Jiang Xia...
"..." In comparison, being a primary school student is much easier - in the eyes of most people, it is normal for children to not be able to solve cases as quickly as high school students. Therefore, in this case, as long as I raise one or two doubts, I can participate in the case and accept praise with my head held high...
Wait, what are you thinking?!
Conan slapped himself on the forehead:
Now is not the time to lie low and play badly... No, now is not the time to compete with your teammates. The focus now is on vodka!
“…”
With that in mind, Conan crossed his arms and focused his attention back on the case.
——In his opinion, the murderer was more likely to be an insider who participated in the party.
And among these insiders, facts aside - Vodka is clearly the most suspicious guy.
It's just a pity that if we don't ignore the facts...
Conan touched his chin and realized with regret that the conclusion that "Vodka is the murderer" had too many contradictions.
——From the perspective of technique, there are too many ways for a cadre of a mysterious organization to kill an unarmed and naked woman, such as poisoning her like he did with "Kudo Shinichi" or using a poison that no one can detect and disguising it as sudden death.
For example, they could simply fake a gas explosion and kill all the people present - Conan believed that for these black-clad bastards who had almost blown up the Shinkansen, blowing up a mere apartment was not something they needed to worry about.
...In short, there are too many methods.
In this case, how could Vodka risk using the "throat-cutting" method and not kill the person?
Conan thought: Unless Vodka has other purposes - for example, he doesn't actually want to kill Kaoru Kusano, but like some gangsters, he lets his friends harass the girl and then goes over to "rescue the beauty" to gain her trust... Vodka may also want to use the same principle, using this life-saving grace to achieve some unspeakable purpose - from the information overheard just now, Vodka did do some emergency treatment for Kaoru Kusano.
Conan: “…” But if you think about it carefully, this statement still has loopholes.
——If these men in black wanted something from Kaoru Kusano, shouldn't they have used threats and blackmail? But now, this overly euphemistic approach really doesn't seem like the style of that organization.
Also, even if they wanted to use a beauty trap, they shouldn't have sent Vodka, a man with an overbite. They must have someone who is more in line with the aesthetics of young girls...
Conan: “…” In other words, based on the current situation: Vodka is neither here to kill people nor to carry out a beauty trap.
Without any motive, Vodka would have no motive to kill. As for why he went to save Kaoru Kusano...
Maybe he didn't want a murder to disrupt some of his plans.
It could also be that he wanted to perform well in front of the police and detectives and gain the trust of naive detectives... Damn, these cunning men in black.
Conan sighed softly, and thought to himself: Looking at the current situation, the only comforting thing is that since Vodka is still carefully playing the role of a good detective, it means that even if he has other plans for Jiang Xia, he will not act too quickly.
In this case, there is still time to observe and respond...
Thinking of this, Conan began to take stock of the resources in his hands, hoping to find a harmless passage as soon as possible to rescue Jiang Xia from the clutches of the terrible man in black.
…
When Conan wanted to reduce his presence, his presence was indeed terribly low.
At this time, the other people in the living room had no idea about the huge imagination in this child's small body.
Their attention is still focused on the current throat-slitting case.
I heard that the police felt that the murderer was more likely to be an outsider.
Kenzaki Osamu suddenly had an idea and looked at his companions, asking for confirmation: "What do you think... could the murderer be the stalker?"
"Stalker?" Inspector Megure's ears twitched and he immediately turned around and looked over when he heard this.
Kenzaki Osamu then remembered that he had not yet provided this key information.
He quickly added, "Recently, Ah Xun has been harassed by prank doorbells. I heard that every time she opened the door, the person outside had already run away, but left a strange letter. At first, the letter said 'I will come again', then 'I will come next time', and then 'I will come even if I die'..."
"Each time, the content is more persistent and terrifying than the previous one. And the letter was printed by computer, so the handwriting cannot be identified." Kenzaki Osamu sighed, "Because I often appear in detective dramas, Xun asked me to help her think of a solution... But I'm not a real detective after all, so I asked Miss Yoko, so today, she invited Mr. Jiang Xia to come over."
Kinoshita Yoko nodded and confirmed his words sadly: "We had planned to ask Jiang Xia to help investigate after the party. Who knew that something would happen in such a short period of time..."
After listening to this, Inspector Megure felt that he understood: "No wonder someone sneaked in at such a coincidence, and was fully prepared... It seems that the stalker found that you did not lock the door, so he came in and stabbed Miss Kaoru... Takagi."
After shouting, I remembered that Takagi Wataru was not there.
——He is still dealing with the follow-up of the previous case.
