Chapter 834 Uzo’s outlook on life. Please vote for me ヽ(〃〃)~
Thinking of this, Vermouth silently cast a sympathetic look at Kogoro Mouri.
Besides, even if we ignore this kind of horrifying speculation and think positively...
The situation is still not optimistic.
For example, Wu Zo may subconsciously feel that parents are important, but he would not think too much about it rationally. Therefore, when Jiang Xia and his wife were murdered before, he would instinctively want to chase them, but his concept of parents still remained at the level of "cohabitants".
In this case, once the same thing happens to someone else, that "instinct" will not take effect, and Usa will make a "rational" inference... He will probably only think that Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri are also "people living together."
Thus, in Usa's eyes, although Maori Kogoro does not need to be deliberately eliminated, he is just "Ran's roommate". Under this premise, when the mood comes, Wusa will certainly not show mercy to Maori Kogoro because of his concerns for Angel. He will just kill as many of them as he would other unlucky passers-by, and make their deaths spectacular.
Vermouth: “…” Now she couldn’t be sure whether Wu Zo was testing her, and she didn’t have time to analyze what Wu Zo was thinking or how he defined “parents”.
But in the end, we must try our best to prevent such tragedies from happening.
——The fact that "Kogoro Mouri was killed by Jiang Xia" was undoubtedly very scary for Angel.
And in other situations, you can still try to wash it off, but if there is suddenly a "revenge for the murder of your father"... this means that after Angel and Cool Guy know the truth, it is impossible for them to continue to treat Uzo with their previous friendly attitude.
By then...
Vermouth's mind flashed through various ways of Angel and Cool Guy's death, and sometimes she thought of Uzo feeling that life was boring and throwing a group of people to a desperate party. She couldn't help but twitch her forehead twice.
This won’t work…
Anyway, let's follow Uzo's words and give it a try.
Thinking of this, Vermouth wanted to try to divert Jiang Xia's attention away from the question of whether he would sleep forever or not.
She asked with a smile: "If you want to bet, what is the stakes?"
Jiang Xia thought about it and said casually: "If I win, do me a favor in that mission of Sindorah."
Vermouth's eyes moved slightly. Such a specific bet?
Even if there was no bet, she would not refuse if Wu Zuo needed help... But considering that young people are more concerned about their reputation, Wu Zuo might not like this kind of help that is like eating free food. In other words, in this bet...
Would Uzo want to win more?
Vermouth pondered secretly and put out the cigarette in the ashtray.
“What should I do… I feel like he won’t live long, but I’m also curious about your mission plan.” Vermouth chuckled in confusion, and after a moment, she seemed to have made a decision, “Then I’ll bet that he won’t survive tonight—that way, no matter what the final result is, it won’t be disappointing.”
——Vermouth felt that since Uzo came to her specifically, he probably needed to disguise himself.
Her skill is quite special, and Wuzo always likes complicated and careful plans. Since he wants her help, she should be an indispensable part of it.
In other words, Uzo is likely to win the bet tonight.
Therefore, Vermouth thought that if she bet that Mouri Kogoro would die, then in order to justify dragging her to do the mission, Usa might let Mouri Kogoro live - according to Usa's usual style, even if the script had already been laid out and the strange woman outside was determined to kill Mouri Kogoro, as long as Usa wanted Mouri Kogoro to live, he could just open the car door and get out, catch the murderer in the act and beat him up happily.
…
Beside him, Jiang Xia heard her choice and smiled.
He reached out and opened the storage box in Vermouth's car, rummaged around for a while, and found two cans of coffee.
He took out a can of drink, handed one to Belmode, opened the cup in his hand, raised his hand and clinked it with hers: "Well, I wish me good luck in my mission."
“…”
Vermouth opened the can and clinked it with him, then took a sip of coffee. She was in a good mood and thought that although she was destined to lose the bet, she might have made the right choice.
…
Under her seemingly unintentional gaze.
Next to the car in front.
Sayuri Shimamura whispered a few words to Kogoro Mori.
Then he ran to the vending machine nearby and bought two bottles of drinks.
The location of the vending machine is closer to the car where Jiang Xia and Vermouth are.
The lights in the car were not on, so Sayuri Shimamura was unable to notice the gazes being cast.
She turned her back to Kogoro Mouri and unscrewed the cap of the drink, then quickly took out a box of medicine from her bag, opened it, took out a pill, and threw it into one of the drinks.
Vermouth watched this scene with a slightly fixed gaze.
However, under the light next to the vending machine, Sayuri Shimamura was reflected quite clearly, and Vermouth could see the medicine box in her hand clearly - although the words on it were not very clear due to the dim sky, but judging from the color scheme, this seemed to be a quick-acting sleeping pill.
This brand of medicine has a very good reputation and is very effective. It is available in many pharmacies and can be purchased anywhere.
Many people would buy a box of nicotine and carry it with them because of insomnia or other reasons. The same is true for Vermouth, who has a box in her bag at this moment.
"..." Fortunately, it's not poison...
Vermouth slowly drank the coffee in her hand.
Since Kogoro Mori would not die for a while, her thoughts inevitably returned to Jiang Xia next to her.
She glanced sideways and found that Jiang Xia was not looking at Maori Kogoro, but was looking down at his phone, as if he had already guessed what Shimamura Sayuri would do, or had lost interest in the case.
Vermouth looked at his quiet silhouette and fell into deep thought as usual: Will there be other changes later, or is the trend of "Kogoro Mori will not die" already in line with Usa's expectations, and was he testing her attitude by proposing the bet just now?
Thinking of this, Vermouth suddenly became curious.
She suddenly thought, what would have happened if she had bet that Kogoro Mori would be alive?
But no matter what, she knew too little about this strange case.
And on the other hand, if Usa's attitude towards Maori Kogoro is different from what she just said in the conspiracy theory, then Usa might have brought her here for a "ride" in order to keep an eye on the situation and prevent Maori Kogoro from dying in an accident...
There are too many possible speculations.
Vermouth guessed for a long time, but still couldn't determine the true meaning of Uzo's actions. She just felt that the young cadre next to her was a mystery.
