Chapter 566: Vodka murder case

 Chapter 566 Vodka Murder Incident

Although others cannot smell the murderous aura mixed in the ghost mint, they can smell the ghost mint itself. The fragrance of that kind of plant is highly recognizable, and like cigarettes, if it is lit indoors without wind, it will stick to the body for a while.

Jiang Xia remembered that after Amuro Toru frowned at how many times he had smoked it, he suspected that it was drugs or other addictive drugs, so he stole one while Jiang Xia was not paying attention and went back to test it.

Maybe no results were obtained later, and he thought it was just an ordinary refreshing plant, so Toru Amuro ignored it.

Jiang Xia didn’t have any special feelings about being “stolen by her boss.” Because the one Amuro Toru took happened to be the one that didn’t have murderous aura in it, and it was just ordinary plant powder.

Other ghosts didn't pay much attention, and they just reminded Jiang Xia when they found out that the police were stealing.

Only the mermaid strongly condemned this behavior. From then on, every time she saw Toru Amuro, she would go over and pat him twice. This fish seems to have a particularly good memory and is especially good at holding grudges...

Just as he was thinking about it, the mermaid suddenly turned his head warily and looked at Vodka.

 …He seemed to move.

Jiang Xia picked up the rare murderous aura that was surrounded by ghosts, took off Xiaobai and Miyano Akemi who were hanging on the murderous aura, and put them aside, put away the murderous aura, and looked at them as well.

The movement just now was not an illusion.

  Vodka actually makes me wake up.

—Vodka The narcotic cookies we carry with us now are actually the second generation and improved version.

After the last taste test, although Gin acquiesced to letting him bring this "Uzo artifact", he asked Vodka to shorten the anesthetic effect - anyway, for them, whether they want to kill or control, they use it. Not much time. As long as this cookie can teach the user a practical lesson, it will become cumbersome if it lasts too long.

Vodka suspected that this was the last time. After he fell asleep after taking anesthetic snacks, Gin was forced to drive for a while, so he gained experience from it.

 …He then obediently and silently changed the effect of the medicine.

Furthermore, the effect of anesthetics is closely related to body weight. This anesthetic snack tailor-made for Uzo can be used on Vodka himself and will take effect in a shorter time.

This is the result of the rapid awakening of the eater now.

 …

While Jiang Xia was staring at the vodka, observing his recovery process, and thinking about the next steps.

The door of the room suddenly rang.

—Someone knocked on the door from outside.

Matsuda Jinpei floated to the door, squirmed through the crack in the door and took a look.

 After a while, it floated back and told Jiang Xia: An old classmate who smelled like coffee came to the door.

Jiang Xia looked back at the soundproof door that was knocked, and then at Vodka who was trying to wake up: "..."

Just now, after the anesthesia snack took effect, Jiang Xia originally thought that if the boss came suddenly, she would tell him: Vodka had evil intentions in delivering the suspicious snack, and he was forced to defend himself under the pressure of survival...

Who knew vodka could wake me up so quickly?

 Speaking of which, being awake means being able to think, be fearful, and be able to instinctively fight back when faced with threats, thereby producing murderous intent...

   …”

Jiang Xia's eyes moved back and forth between the vodka and the soundproof door twice, feeling vaguely moved.

 Finally stopped at vodka.

 …Although the vanilla ice cream tastes murderous, the drop is a bit strange. But as the saying goes, you don’t need to know the old hen to eat eggs—although Jiang Xia, a mature adult, is not interested in vanilla ice cream, the ghosts seem to like it very much. It can be seen that vodka’s murderous power is quite popular.

So, if the boss scares the vodka a little more, maybe he can squeeze out a little more murderous energy?

Island countries seem to attach great importance to the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Although subordinates are oppressed by their superiors, they can actually receive corresponding protection. Unless the two sides are too discordant, outsiders deliberately making things difficult for subordinates is equivalent to slapping the boss in the face.

 …For example, like Vodka, it is too much to force Bourbon into the room to inquire about the situation even though Bourbon is present.

Thinking like this, when Vodka slowly regained consciousness and showed an expression of surprise and horror at the same time because "I'm still alive!" and "Uzo hasn't left yet!" Jiang Xia covered his mouth, smothering the imminent scream.

  Vodka was pressed so hard that his head hit the cabinet with a thud. His eyes briefly felt like mosquito coils, but he soon woke up because of the pain.

Hirazaka Reiki is a writer, and this mansion that belongs to him is well soundproofed.

But because the vodka was a bit heavy, the sound of the cabinet being hit was particularly loud. Toru Amuro, who was knocking on the door outside, still heard some sounds.

 The knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

 The surroundings fell into dead silence for a short time.

It was only then that Vodka noticed the knocking on the door that he had regarded as the background sound.

 He looked at the door doubtfully, then looked at Jiang Xia. Before he could speak, his collar suddenly tightened, and Jiang Xia forcefully lifted him up to stand upright.

 After that, a heavy load of vodka.

—Jiang Xia solemnly put a pack of snacks in his hand.

And whispered: "You know what to do."

“?” Vodka said bluntly, “No…”

"If you say the wrong thing, Gin can't save you." Time was running out, Jiang Xia interrupted him, his aura suddenly darkened, and he smiled coolly at him, his face looked like a devil in Vodka's eyes.

Vodka gave him a jolt, and at the same time, the ghostly voice of the "devil" came to his ears: "Did you know that in these deep mountains and old forests, there will be some suicides, lost, landslides, slipping and falling, and even fallen trees every year? Crushing 'accident'."

 Vodka: “…”

 …Threat, this is a naked threat!

 …But he really didn’t know what Uzo wanted him to do.

I am debating whether to take the risk and ask clearly, or to nod vaguely and agree.

Jiang Xia suddenly looked around, then moved to the soft carpet, lay down and stopped moving.

 Vodka: “…?“

He looked at this scene with confusion, wondering if he had not woken up yet.

At this moment, the locked door suddenly clicked and someone pried it open from the outside.

 Following that, a familiar person appeared at the door.

 …

As soon as Toru Amuro entered the door, he saw his suddenly missing employee lying on the ground with suspicious vodka standing next to him. Vodka also held an even more suspicious box in his hand.

His face darkened slightly, he walked into the room, closed the door with his backhand, and clicked the lock... his movements were even more skillful than Jiang Xia's just now.

 Vodka: “…”

He was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding Uzo's purpose, but not fully... However, facing Bourbon who looked extremely gloomy at this time, he still took a step back warily and instinctively took out his gun.

boom-

 The sound of gunshots with silencers sounded simultaneously.

The bullet pierced the air, and the gun in Vodka's hand flew out, spinning and falling to the ground aside.
